Your mother didn’t love you- Why can’t you face the facts You can’t get it through your head- Corrupted future acts Your mother didn’t love you- It’s warped you ever since The world is out to get you- A lie you are convinced Your mother didn’t love you But many others do- Why can’t you face the fact of it Why can’t you face the truth- Love will never enter – Deep into your heart- A worthless dull nobody – Redeem yourself with art- You have these deep deep feelings But no one really cares- You have an overwhelming urge To throw you down the stairs- Your mother didn’t love you- Because she was diseased- And not cause you’re unlovable- Her kind should never breed But you are here alive- And facts you must accept Your mother didn’t love you- - And your love you can’t collect Your mother didn’t love you – the pain it cannot leave But tons of people love you - but their love you can’t receive

Tragedy laugh girl A dimply grin My heart is breaking My love is a sin I have no right now, to feel so much joy When others are crying and breaking their toys Princess of cuteness all Childlike and new Laughing and lit up I pity the fool I am so Selfish, stupid and mean Why won’t you love me The fat and the lean No one deserves you You’ll make them all pay For giving you all That you had anyway Tragedy laugh girl Destroy on your path How many have fallen? Oh you do the math Tragedy laugh girl You’ve already bought What they try to give you You’ve already got Tragedy laugh girl Has all and wants more Tragedy laugh girl Get on the dance floor

It’s god’s world and I could die From her homicidal eyes Told her something she didn’t like Shot me Homicidal eyes Sexy as hell Slits of gold Killer bod Would love to hold It’s god’s world Die anytime Die by Homicidal eyes Staring cold right against mine Sending shivers down my spine Breath of death speaks louder than Whispers sexy frying pan Hot enough to burn the sun Death by her would be so fun
4.
Life’s a bore At fifty four Don’t want to play The game no more Got more time Oh that’s for sure But I don’t know What time is for No one wants A fat bald me To sing another song Of self pity Mankind’s forever Lost it’s way Brother ‘gainst brother Gay against gay I don’t care If you can score Nothing gets Me high no more Pain on earth Will never end All I can do Is love my friends Me I didn’t Create this world Now I’ve come To hate this world Feel like shit Then write a song I Still don’t know Where I belong Suffering on earth Will never end All I can do Is love my friends The Pain on earth will never end All you can do is love your friends
5.
You don’t exist and neither do I You can do something – oh you can try But nothing will come of it Nothing exists But please don’t go crazy and start Slashing your wrists Cause Nothing is wonderful Nothing is great There’s Nothing to love And there’s nothing to hate There’s Nothing to worry And Nowhere to go There’s Nowhere to hide And there’s nothing to show You just keep on growing Keep drinking the light Keep drinking the water And keep up the fight Keep breathing the air And keep eating the food Keep doing the discipline Doing the good
6.
I am honored – Humbled here In it’s divine presence Id and ego - disappear At the great wall of indifference At the great wall of indifference I drop my sword to the floor At the great wall of indifference I cannot fight anymore I am lonely – Never ends With or without a reason I am empty – without friends I’m cold in every season (Chorus) Surrender - Self pity – I’m as close as dead Brings joy and feeling giddy Nothing more can be said I am speechless – Can’t be sad At the great wall of indifference Doesn’t matter – Good or bad At the great wall of indifference

Dad died – by suicide - I’m ten – alone again Everybody – wants to talk – Get away y’all What the fuck? I don’t know my name – (but) I know I’m somehow to blame What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song? I’m a freak – Leave Me alone – Can’t speak – I hate my home – God Let – My daddy die God’s love – it is a lie What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song? – I may never be – anxiety free. – I wish it wasn’t dad – I wish it was me Dad’s dead – a bullet through his head – I’m numb – a empty jug of rum – I wish I could get high – God’s Love – It is a lie. What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song? – I may never be – anxiety free – I wish it wasn’t dad – I wish it was me

The world it hurts a red raw nerve My life is in your hands Please don’t tease or laugh at me I don’t think I could stand Be sweet to me if you can be I’m really on the verge Of losing it I just can’t sit With this destructive urge Everyone is mean to me Or that is how it seems I’m paranoid I can’t avoid These dark psychotic scenes I feel the guilt cut to the hilt Please do forgive me now I’d kill myself if that would help If only god would allow The world it hurts I feel like dirt I get what I deserve I hate today Can’t run away I am a red raw nerve Laughter chases My god away And me I am alone I hate today Can’t run away I’m frightened of the phone

God is dead—Love is alive—Love is real God is contrived We may always disagree Might never see things eye to eye Hatred might come in-between It doesn't mean that love has died We might never come together Hope you gave it your best try We might always hate each other It doesn't mean that love has died We might hate our whole lives through We might none of us survive Never see what love can do It doesn't mean that love has died Love is here like it or not Access it or hate the lot It doesn’t make you love it so It waits until you let it go Don't give up on love today Do what love says in your time Not what’s leading you astray Trust your heart and you’ll be fine Listen to your heart today Do what it has got in mind Not what ‘s leading you astray Forgive yourself and please be kind
10.
I think about you often and I worry There's lots of time to grow up so don't hurry I want to keep you safe away from danger But you will make your own way with these strangers Please know that I love you And will always Be there Even when you hate me My love won't change I’ll still care Please don't hurt yourself or do what they say I hate to think you're out there losing your way I love you and I want to see you happy I love you let your conscience be your mappy Love yourself while I can't be there With you hold you tight Love yourself and a please be true And know love’s always right Love is always right I want to hold you in my arms forever Keep you warm and safe and leave you never But you must make your own way and be clever In a world that hurts and keeps you hurt forever

Where is the fire - where is the flame An Empty desire – for empty fame For empty riches – I see that you’ve become Accustomed to luxury but you live like a bum With No love for the music And No Respect for the man With No love for the genius of Shakespeare or Paul Gauguin No love for the movies That used to thrill you up The sweet, needy greed of an angel Has gotten corrupt The Notion of something And from nothing there it comes You can’t get your head around the fact There’s no counting of sums Nobody nowhere – stands the invisible man If there is a power – then where, where is the plan I empty my vessel prepared for you then to fill I ask you to fill it with brilliance But Please do what thou wilt I’m Nobody nowhere – I sit - I empty my mind What am I to do then When nothing - Nothing’s Divine

What does it mean- To be a man Hard working Honest - True with a plan What does it mean - To be an adult? On time, reliable - Immune to insult What does it mean - To be a grown man Clear and straight forward - Sure guiding hand What does it mean - To be a true mensch Clear and decisive - Right side of the fence What does it mean - To give of yourself A higher desire - Than what’s on the shelf What does it mean – to sacrifice For something much greater Than just being nice
13.
We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night God in his heaven Smiles down at me Loves me and Curses my enemies We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night My life has meaning I’m sensible My home is safe And defensible I hide behind lies I need to disguise My life is unbearable Otherwise We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night George told a lie ‘bout that cherry tree Fills me with tons of anxiety The government killed John F Kennedy The towers came down at free falling speed Better to lie The truth’s on their side And all that I have to do is just be me
14.
We need somebody to say We’re gonna be okay Today Today There’s heaven above And there’s hell down below We’re somewhere In between you know We’re gonna be okay
