Life is a Memory
I don’t know
If I meant much to you
Long ago
You might have liked me too
Now it’s a memory
As the pain’s leaving me
Half of me’s glad you’re gone
Half od me still loves your song
You should know
You meant the world to me
I Didn’t show
Nothing but insanity
What can I give you now?
Life has moved on somehow
Life is a memory
The future’s anxiety
Pull Me--- Push You
What can I
Say to make sense to you
I have tried
Done all I care to do

LOVE ME
Come into my house
There’s room on my rugs
I’ll let you get loud
I’ll let you do drugs little girl
Just as long as you love me
In the end
Love me
You can fuck other guys
You can tear me apart
If you think it is wise
To play games with my heart
Just as long as you love me
In the end
Love me
And you can hurt me
All through the day
But in the evening
Let me have my way
Just as long as you love
In the end
Love me

CENTER OF YOUR UNIVERSE
Why aren’t I the center of your universe ?
You know the lines but I can’t get you to rehearse
Don’t you care when I get hurt or happiness
Boggles me that you’re not thrilled by my success
Once you cared but only for an afternoon
I was thrilled evaporated much too soon
Disappeared and crawled back inside your balloon
What I feared came true the pain has made a fool of me
It has made a fool of me
Why aren’t I the center of your universe ?
I was king and you were dirt now it’s reversed
Did it come down to a simple power play?
If I played it hard to get would you have stayed?
Made a fool of me
It has made a fool of me
RAP
My life is in your hands
An hourglass of sand
Has shattered 'cross the floor
I needed so much more
You gave me so much less
I offered you my best
But that was not enough
Loving you is tough

I DON’T WANT YOU
I don’t want you
Just wanted to know that I could have you if I wanted to
But I don’t want you. Go away now
I don’t want you.
Just wanted to know that I could break your little heart in two
And I proved it’s true. Go away now.
CHORUS
I don’t want you anymore.
I refuse to pick you up off the floor go die go die. (go cry. Go cry)
I don’t want you
I just want you to know
That you’re a fool for every thinking so
Why don’t you go away now?

EXPIRATION DATE LOVE
You create love
Initiate love
Just to kill it
For the thrill it
Gives you power
You’re a flower
You’re a great love
But you hate love
You won’t always be
Young and pretty
Expiration date love
You should
Be kind to them now
But you don’t know how love
You don’t
You don’t wanna learn
You just wanna burn love

I'm Too Pretty

I’M TOO PRETTY
I got fired from a ping pong place
But it’s not my fault
I inspire men to masturbate
But it’s not my fault
I’m not to blame
I’ve got some lame excuses
Excuses, excuses—Your accusation’s useless
I’ve got excuses, excuses---Your accusations are useless
I quit school cause the teachers are gay
It’s not my fault
They had nothing to teach me anyway
It’s not my fault
CHORUS
I’m too pretty—too pretty---to take responsibility
I’m too pretty—too pretty-–to take responsibility
(I’m pretty great)
RAP
It’s not my fault you fell in love with me FOOL
It’s not my fault I have no pity for YOU
It’s not my fault that we don’t like the same FOOD
It’s not my fault I love another DUDE
It’s not my fault that I lost interest in YOU
It’s not my fault I just do what I DO
I’ve got excuses, excuses
Your accusations are useless
It’s not my fault that I don’t play by your RULEZ
It’s not my fault you fell in love with me FOOL
It’s not my fault you fell in love with me FOOL
It’s not my fault I have no pity for YOU
It’s not my fault that we don’t like the same FOOD
It’s not my fault I love another DUDE
It’s not my fault that I lost interest in YOU
It’s not my fault I just do what I DO

Torture's Legal

TORTURE'S LEGAL
I wonder why you’re being cruel.
I wonder why you do it.
You’re just obeying my own rule.
I taught you how to do it.
I taught you how to torture me.
Told you when I wrote that song
I Love to be in Love baby but you read it all wrong.
Cause you were practicing it well.
Before I mentioned hurting
You’ve no idea the kind of hell.
But your idea of flirting.
It hasn’t died. Alive and well.
And driving me insane.
The songs are coming back again.
But all due to the pain.
And the gain. The gain. The gain. The gain.
So why eliminate the dream.
Instead just feed upon it.
There’s music here to intervene.
That makes it worth the vomit.
So let the torture run it’s course.
Art’s worth much more than people.
As long as songs survive divorce who cares if torture’s legal.
It’s legal.
Torture’s legal.

I AM WHOLE
I am whole and Satan is with me. I
’ve a role in life that he gives me
Jesus smiles on all my adventures.
When I’m old I might need some dentures.
I am whole. Today is my birthday.
I am old but I am still thirsty.
I am young but I am so tired.
I’ve begun the life I was fired from.
Playing games is something the young do.
In the day. I like being sung to
In the night my feet are on fire.
Dance away my evil desire.
I am whole. Today is my birthday.
I am old but I am still thirsty.
I am young but I am so tired..
I’ve begun the life I’ was fired from.

WONDERFUL HORRIBLE GIRL
You miserable son of a bitch.
Your face makes me happy
My moods tend to switch go from joyful to crappy.
My heart leaps when you greet the room
I see you and Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom
Those eggy wegs on the plate.
I so want to smash ‘em
Once I was filled with hate.
I thank you for that passion
You’ve brought joy and pain to my world.
You’re a wonderful horrible girl.
The deal was made in silence and silence tells us all
Reveals us in a notebook. You’re season is about to fall.
Totally out of my mind.
You’re as crazy as I am
You’re vicious and kind go from truthful to lyin’
I feel hope and dread for the world.
You’re a wonderful horrible girl.

LET IT GO
Reaching what I can’t reach.
Touching what I can’t grab
What are you here to teach?
I should love what I have.
Critic inside my brain.
Leads me back here again.
But it’s something you cannot drain.
So I leave it alone again.
Let it go.
Total and utter bliss.
Is an addictive kiss.
Tortured cause it’s not mine.
A gift from a man behind the curtain.
Leave me alone. I
’ll find a home.
Please let me go.
’m not your own.
Let it go. Let it go.
Know when to leave alone.
Let it go find it’s home.
You are an empty shell.
Be happy you feel this well.
Get off my fuckin’ back.
God damn panic attack.
Give it a fuckin’ rest.
Everything’s for the best.
Let it go.
Leave me alone. I’ll find a home. Please let me go.
I’m not your own. (twice).
RAP
Let it go. Olvidalo.
You can’t do this no more.
It’s got to end. Never again.
Get over it my friend
You gotta try with all your might cause it’s all been a lie.
It’s got to die so you can fly.
This life has been a lie
It’s been a lie.

I'm Setting You Free

I’M SETTING YOU FREE
Baby. I’m setting you free you don’t have to be
What I wanted you to be
I demanded your time as if was mine
But it’s not mine---Never will be
And with that I’m ---setting you free
And it hurts me---to set you free
And to know that you never loved me
Baby Oh back in the day what a scene I had made
I’m crazy.
Shows you how bad it can get when you’re not getting laid
Was too needy ---A cry baby
Not attractive ---to the ladies
Was too desperate---suicidal
Not appealing---in an idol
Baby.
It’s over today but don’t want it that way
And maybe.
The love never dies it lives on in the lies
I tell myself---every evening
To sleep soundly---Keep believing
That is won’t die---There’s hope for me
And a true lie—will restore me

REMAIN IN THE LIGHT
Midnight.
I better be careful.
You can’t write a song about god without getting it wrong
It’s time to say goodbye.
To my obsession.
But may I remain in the light of your love.
You’re fading.
Now what do I live for?
Lonely again.
In my room.
Far away
But may I remain in the light of today.
I thank you.
You were an angel.
You were disguised as a demon.
My love
But may I remain in the light of your love.
Love.
