They are the wrong ones
They are the ugly ones
They are the freaky ones
And we kill them from birth
And we kill them from birth
They are the helpless ones
They are the weak ones
They're the un-model ones
And we kill them from birth
And we kill them from birth
They are the bright ones
They are the loving ones
They're the inventive ones
And we kill them from birth
And we kill them from birth
We criticise them
stigmatise them
isolate them
Punish them for living
Anything that's different
We kill from birth

Damaged Goods

Expiration date passed
And all the cards are dealt
Just a dead end road from here
Expiration date passed
And all the straws are drawn
The ending carved into stone
Hope won't change what is
Hope can't change what will be
Luck has nothing to do with it
Some are just meant to fail
Expiration date passed
All effort wasted now
What's left is damaged goods
Expiration date passed
The story's boring now
Waiting for the time to run out
Hope...
Failed humans turn invisible
When their time has expired
Failed humans have nowhere to turn
They just occupy spaces
Something wrong, something foul
Something no one wants to touch
Instinct means a lot

I live inside your head
I tell you what to think
When others have deserted you
I won't have budged an inch
I decide your dreams for you
I'm the one who gives you peace
I live inside your head
I guard you while you sleep
I decide your happiness
I tell you what to feel
Whether you will walk or crawl
It all comes down to me
I float inside your blood
Your tainted touch is mine
I'll keep you far away from love
I'll tell you when to die
I gave you your poisoned heart
I gave you all your fears
'Cause you're Nothing!

Moments in Between

This is a safe place
An unmanned fortress
This is a safe place
To watch the world from
This is a safe place
When the world is coming down
This is a safe place
To let your guard down
And I wish I had
A trail to leave behind
And I wish I had
The moments in between
This is a safe place
Where no one sets foot
This is a safe place
To keep in as well as out
Out of sight and out of mind
Always one to leave behind
Isn't everyone content?
Out of mind and out of shape
Ugly figures in a cage
Isn't that where they belong?
And I wish I had
A trail to behind
And I wish I had
the moments in between the sighs

Coming of Age

There's a line that stretches
into loss of control
There's a smile that's sprained
But can't let go
There's a revelations of facts
You've always known
You can't outrun
This coming of age
There's a mountains of goals
You failed to achieve
The odds are against you
But you can still believe
Give them a nod and smile
And fight another round
And hope to live it down
This coming of age
Every line drawn in the sand
Was quickly crossed
Everything you hoped to be
Was always lost
And what good comes of waiting?
You know that now
Nothing
But the coming of age

Fragments

Looking for something better
Something worse always comes along
With his fierce vovice and hateful eyes
And makes every day look the same
Love came rapping at the door
And let itself inside
Left its vomit on the floor
And then sneaked away to hide
Looking at past misgivings
and things that were left undone
But his creepy breath and his hollow eyes
echo to this day
Laughter came and laughter roared
Whatever you give he takes
Stupid, rotten excuse for a man
Just push him 'till he breaks
Looking for a smile in the faceless mob
Or something else to choke the boredom
Everyone gets to where they want
Give or take a few
Love came sneaking down the hall
But never caught your eye
Saw there wasn't much at all
And then crawled away to die
The sun came dancing in the fall
But drowned itself in rain
Put to sleep in the darkest hole
To never shine again

And there is usually a pop song hidden in there.
