CASKET
------
Empty playgrounds of the living
Lonely swingsets of the dead
It must be nice in Heaven
To have an angel
To heal the subtle silence in your head

So no more crying tonight
All there is are bad dreams and the yelling from the pain

Silent stories I have told you
Precious moments never spent
You've had another bad day
Up here in Heaven
All the subtle silence in your head

So no more crying tonight
All there is are bad dreams and the yelling from the pain

Everything is gone 
Everything's just fine
The monkey bars love lightning 
And the slide takes me away
From evil looks and blood shot eyes
Empty playgrounds of the living
Lonely swingsets of the dead


GROUND ZERO NYC
---------------
Godzilla, coast to coast thriller
King Kong, and a host that's beautiful
And insane, I'm not insane

There running down the local mortuary
Fresh dead just won't do
When walking past the window
That's when I met you

And I've got big plans, baby
Ground Zero New York City
And I think it's time we start the show
Ground Zero New York City

Godzilla, coast to coast thriller
King Kong, and a host that's beautiful
And insane, I'm not insane

There running down the local mortuary
Fresh dead just won't do
There walking past the window
That's when I met you

And I've got big plans baby
Ground Zero New York City
And I think it's time to start the show
Ground Zero New York City
Big plans baby
Ground Zero New York City
And I think it's time to start the show
Ground Zero New York City
Ground Zero New York City
Ground Zero New York City

Big plans, baby

Ground Zero New York City

And I've got big plans, baby...


IRIDESCENT WHITE LIGHT
----------------------
Stirring is the scent of seduction
Up here in this room
The candle flame licks her lips that somehow seem to swell
And she takes a deep breath again

Oh, iridescent white light
Oh, iridescent white light

A bone-chill wind moves up the point of penetration
Up here in this room
The candle flame licks her lips that somehow seem to swell
And she takes a deep breath again

Oh, iridescent white light
Oh, iridescent white light

The doors won't stop closing, I'm being sucked in
I can't see anything, I'm seeing things again

The doors won't stop closing, I'm being sucked in
I can't see anything, I'm seeing things again

The doors won't stop closing, I'm being sucked in
I can't see anything, I'm seeing things again

The doors won't stop closing, I'm being sucked in
I can't see anything, I'm seeing things again


NUMB
----
The cat's eyes are puking, the TV's on fire
My headache's raging, I need to smoke
I know you hear me, my soul is numb
My hair stopped growing, radiation from the sun

I think I'd be more popular if I killed myself
I think I'd be more popular if I killed your friends
Kill your friends, I'll kill my friends, kill my friends

I never liked you, I never cared
If you believe in God, then I should kill you first
My words sadistic, my reasons right
There's no use crying there's no use in trying to fight, fight

I think I'd be more popular if I killed myself
I think I'd be more popular if I killed your friends
Kill your friends, kill your friends, kill your friends

I think I'd be more popular if I killed myself
I think I'd be more popular if I killed your friends
I think I'd be more popular if I killed myself
I think I'd be more popular if I killed your friends
Kill your friends

Kill all your friends...


OPHELIA
-------
A garbage can acid trip
I am living in a world of feline food and trash
I am caught beneath the nails of a cold corpse's hands
Haunted memories of who I am

Dear Ophelia, I am trying
Tell them I have scared the world
Voices tell me I am dying
But I tell them I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine

A garbage can acid trip
I am staring at you all through closed casket walls
Maggots crawl inside a hole beside the wall
I will lay here in this coffin til I figure out my feelings

Dear Ophelia, I'm trying
Tell them I have scared the world
Voices tell me I am dying
But I tell them I feel fine - I feel fine

Tell them you're fine
Tell them you're fine
Tell them you're fine

Tell them you're fine
I tell them you're fine
Tell them you're fine

Dear Ophelia, I'm trying


SPIDER-MAN SAVE ME
------------------
Here I am where you brought me to
Sitting in white robes
Medicated and miserable

I'm so tired
It's been a hell of a day, dear
I burn out here in this nowhere
Where's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

Yeah, yeah yeah!

Hurts as much and lasts as long, and 
It goes in deep and comes back strong
Cry out loud when I sing along 
"Who will save the girl
who killed the Spider-Man's soul?"

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man save me

Here I am where you brought me to
Sitting in white robes 
Medicated and miserable

I'm not a superhero - I'm tired
It's been a hell of a day, dear
I burn out here in this nowhere
Where's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hurts as much and lasts as long and
It goes in deep and comes back strong.
Cry out loud when you sing along 
"Who will save the girl
who killed the Spider-Man's soul?"

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man save me

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man save me!


WASTING
-------
Dig into the underground to find some relief 
For these sick bones festering inside of me
I'll wash out your filthy mouth 
If you just stop crying

I am slowly wasting soon into the underground
I'll live as slow as death is festering inside of me
I'll wash out your filthy mouth 
If you just stop crying

The beast will be
Will be here soon
The beast will come for me,
Not you

So while you're slowly wasting soon into the underground
I'll live as slow as death is festering inside of me
I'll wash out your filthy fucking mouth 
If you just stop crying

The beast will be
Will be here soon
The beast will come for me
Not you

The beast will be
Will be here soon
The beast will come for me
Not you

Singing siren singing lullabies
Hold my breath and close my eyes
Chew on the vomit so it won't spill on the floor
I can taste it
I can taste it

The beast will be
will be here soon
The beast will come for me
not you

The beast will be
will be here soon
The beast will come for me
not you

Are you wasting
Are you wasting
Are you wasting
Are you wasting
