I like the way that I make you itch 
And all the reasons I give you to bitch 
And how I make you wanna scream in pain 
And feel your life is just a losing game 

I like the way that you let me in 
The way you look when the walls cave in 
I like the way that your stomach knots 
And how you cry for it all to stop 

I like the way that you fool yourself 
And make believe there's nobody else 
I like the way that you stand in line 
And beg salvation from the empty skies 

Chorus 
Don't want no revenge 
Ain't no pay back time 
It ain't called getting even 
Here comes the reconing day 

I like the things that you try to fake 
And your face when I see you break 
And that you say you will pray for me 
You realize you are prey for me 

I like the way you stay on attack 
No matter what, I keep coming back 
And how you try to hold me down 
But you end up driven to the ground 

Chorus 

Chorus 
				

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture its jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow
				

I heard somebody fixed today 
There was no last goodbyes to say 
His will to live ran out 
I heard somebody turned to dust 

Looking back at what he left 
A list of plans and photographs 
Songs that never will be sung 
These are the things he won't get done 

Chorus 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
I've seen them crawl from the cradle (to the gutter on their hands) 
The fight a war but it's fatal (it's so hard to understand) 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 

Just one shot to say goodbye 
One last taste to mourn and cry 
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim 
Just one shot to do him in 

He hangs his head and wonders why 
Why the monkey only lies 
But pay the pauper, he did choose 
He hing his head inside the noose 

Chorus 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
I've seen them crawl from the cradle (to the coffin on their hands) 
They fight a war but it's fatal (it's so hard to understand) 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle in his hands) 
Cryptic writing on the wall (the beginning of the end) 
I've seen myself use the needle (seen the needle in my hands) 

I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
I've seen them crawl from the cradle (to the coffin on their hands) 
They fight a war but it's fatal (it's so hard to understand) 
 I've seen myself use the needle (seen the needle in my hands) 

In my hands 
(Repeat twice)
				

This morning I made the call 
The one that ends it all 
Hanging up, I wanted to cry 
But dammit, this well's gone dry 
Not for the money, not for the fame 
Not for the power, just no more games 

Chorus 
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado 
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go 
No more living trapped inside 
In her way I'll surely die 
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away 

You‘ll grow to loathe my name 
You'll hate me just the same 
You won't need your breath 
And soon you'll meet your death 
Not from the years, not from the use 
Not from the tears, just self abuse 

Who's to say, what's for me to say 
Who's to say, what's for me to be 
Who's to say, what's for me to do 
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me 

The land of opportunity 
The golden chance for me 
My future looks so bright 
Now I think I've seen the light 

Can't say what's on my mind 
Can't do what I really feel 
In this bed I made for me 
Is where I sleep, I really feel 

I warn you of the fate 
Proven true too late 
Your tongue twist perverse 
Come drink now of this curse 
And now I fill your brain 
I spin you round again 
My poison fills your head 
As I tuck you into bed 
You feel my fingertips 
You won't forget my lips 
You'll feel my cold breath 
It's the kiss of death 
				

Don't remember where I was 
I realized life was a game 
The more seriously I took things 
The harder the rules became 
I had no idea what it'd cost 
My life passed before my eyes 
I found out how little I accomplished 
All my plans denied 

So as you read this know my friends 
I'd love to stay with you all 
Smile when you think of me 
My body's gone that's all 
  
Chorus 
A tout le monde 
A tout mes amis 
Je vous aime 
Je dois partir 
These are the last words 
I'll ever speak 
And they'll set me free 
  

If my heart was still alive 
I know it would surely break 
And my memories left with you 
There's nothing more to say 

Moving on is a simple thing 
What it leaves behind is hard 
You know the sleeping feel no more pain 
And the living are scarred 

Chorus 

Solo 

So as you read, know my friends 
I'd love to stay with you all 
Please smile, smile when you think about me 
My body's gone that's all 

Chorus 
Chorus
				

The mother of all that is evil 
Her lips are poisonous venom 
Wicked temptress knows how to please 
The priestess roars, “Get down on your knees” 

The rite of the praying mantis 
Kiss the bones of the enchantress 
Spellbound searching through the night 
A howling man surrenders the fight 

Chorus 
One look in her lusting eyes 
Savage fear in you will rise 
Teeth of terror sinking in 
The bite of the she-wolf 
 One look in her lusting eyes 
Savage fear in you will rise 
Teeth of terror sinking in 
The bite of the she-wolf 

My desires of flesh obey me 
The lioness will enslave me 
Another heart beat than my own 
The sound of claws on cobblestone, I'm stoned 

Chorus 

Beware what stalks you in the night 
Beware the she-wolf and her bite 
Her mystic lips tell only lies 

Beware what stalks you in the night 
Beware the she-wolf and her bite 
Her hidden will to kill in disguise
