​​​I wrote a letter to a dead girl​ to see if she'd reply She put me in a coma to see if I would die Cut us in two it's all the same to us​ ​ You say that we are unclean give an inch we'll take a mile You say that we are obscene we can see you smile Cut us in two​ it's all the same to us​ ​​ We are the cut cut people, we are the sweetheart people We are the cut cut people, we are the sweetheart people ​And its always been this way ​ ​We are unclean, we are obscene We are unclean, we are obscene ​ We are the cut cut people, we are the sweetheart people We are the cut cut people, we are the sweetheart people And its always been this way​ ​ You are the ones that look at me You are the ones that look at her You are the ones that look at me You are the ones that fucking look at her ​ We are the cut cut people, cut cut people We are the sweetheart people, sweetheart people We are the cut cut people, cut cut people We are the sweetheart people, sweetheart people

Virus 03:51
Give it a name If you really want to Lying beneath Shattered teeth It really doesn't matter Do what you want It's real ​ And you will never be Like me 'cause you're too afraid And you will never be Like me 'cause you're too afraid ​ ​Come inside In virus debase me Lying beneath Beautiful blue skies It really doesn't matter Do what you want I'm real ​ And you will never be​ Like me 'cause you're too afraid​ And you will never be Like me 'cause you're too afraid ​ And you will never be​ Like me 'cause you're too afraid​ And you will never be Like me 'cause you're too afraid​ And you will never be​, you will never be​ Like me 'cause you're too afraid​ And you will never be, you will never be​ Like me 'cause you're too afraid ​ ​

Velvetina 03:55
​​​I'll take you where you wanna go And give you all that I think you deserve​ I have kissed the angels and tasted god And licked clean my dirty hands ​ But dead hearts hate Souls so blank Indulge my sickness For machines of grace ​ You are making me sad but I love it A million mile an hour fuck train And you're still so beautiful You are ​ Can you save a prayer for me I send my echo out to find you And tales of breathless dreams unheard In the deserts of incomplete desires And graceful you live in beautiful skin In beautiful skin you're making me cry Beautiful you make me smile ​ My velvetina My velvetina My velvetina My velvetina ​ ​

Feel Box 04:13
​​Creep In and take me away Creep In and suck me empty Creep In and fuck me gently Creep Out you've taken dignity ​ Keep Me closer and inside Keep Me in the corner box Keep Me ticking the right box Keep Me asking for more, more more more ​ Can't you see what this is doing to us, in ou tears is the salt of your lies I can't keep doing this you have gotta let me go ​ Our lives are in the hands of the weak, we're in a glass machine tiny lines of cracks​ ​ I can't keep doing this you have gotta let us go ​ Will they break, will they break, cut arterial lines, leave us to bleed in pools stinking and wretched​ ​ ​I can't keep doing this you have gotta let us go ​ Crunch underfoot in shiny brown leather, but we can dream we can get up and fight I can't keep doing this you have gotta let us go Wake up shut up, the blood is on your hands, wake up shut up, we see you loading your guns ​ ​ ​​​​

This is where it decays​​​ ​​​ ​This is where it all falls apart ​​​​​​​ ​She's so pretty, she's so pretty She's so pretty, she's so pretty This is what it feels like, this is what it feels like This is what it feels like, in my In my head again ​ ​In for the kill and there's no turning back A little vibration a tear a tremble The steel is sharp and the pistol is loaded Dragging the blade only hurts for a moment ​ I hold her close drinking in her taste She didn't know that this was suicide She didn't know this was suicide She didn't know this was suicide ​ She's so pretty, she's so pretty She's so pretty, she's so pretty This is what it feels like, this is what it feels like This is what it feels like, in my In my head again ​ This is what it feels like, this is what it feels like This is what it feels like, in my In my head again ​ ​ ​ ​

I feel sad today Knees up to my throat I feel uncertain ​ Scratching around for... Holding breath for... Creeping around for... I am infected ​ ​I feel tired today Crawling through the floor I feel uncertain ​ Scratching around for... Holding breath for... Creeping around for... I am infected ​ ​And there's nothing to be afraid of So why do I keep feeling like this A little picture to convince me I just want to cut it out ​ Scratching around for... Holding breath for... Creeping around for... I am infected I am infected I am infected I am infected I am infected ​ I am infected I am infected I am I am infected ​ ​

Deathroom 03:11
Shoot shoot rotten on the inside Shoot shoot plastic on the outside ​ You are viscous pristine You are fucking insane ​ Plastic drill bit fuck Plastic playful smile ​ You think there's something better You think you can get to me ​ I am fucking invincible You know it ​ I am fucking invincible You know it you know ​ Pretty, pretty, you're so pretty You're so judged ​Pretty, pretty, you're so pretty Pretty, pretty, you're so pretty You're so judged ​Pretty, pretty, you're so pretty ​ ​ ​ ​

​​ ​ This is what I've become This is all of me and some Kill it try and stem the line Do it now you're out of time What you... wanted What you... needed What you... tasted What you... swallowed ​ Flatter me with camera flash I am losing touch so fast Tight grip going deeper in Feel that we are slipping What you... wanted What you... needed What you... tasted What you... swallowed ​ This is just a stain On the surface of things A familiar smear Wipe it away, wipe it away ​ ​It's just a stain On the surface Of things ​ This is what I've become This is all of me and some Do not let me down to falter Keep me deep inside then after... ​ This is just a stain On the surface of things A familiar smear Wipe it away, wipe it away And you think that you can stop me I'm so fucking fierce I will drive it in so deep You just fucking watch me ​

It's after me It has left its mark Its beady eye Peeping from the dark ​ It's after me, it has left its mark Its beady eye, peeping from the dark ​ A little pill​ Forty does the trick​ Don't fuck with me​ This will make you sick ​ It lets me know Holds me like a doll Digs in my eye Shows it's in control ​ It lets me know, holds me like a doll Digs in my eye, shows it's in control ​ A little pill Does the trick Don't fuck with me This will make you sick ​ ​You will feel it, you will feel it Can you taste it, can you taste it ​ Can you feel it motherfucker Sick ​Can you feel it motherfucker Sick ​Can you feel it motherfucker Sick ​Can you feel it Sick... ​ ​ ​ ​​

Just a little cut but it bleeds Maybe if I'd listened it wouldn't be there Maybe if I'd listened I would've heard it ​ I understand now It's not easy, it hurts a lot ​ ​Just a little scab I pick 'till it bleeds Shows me what is inside Just a little scar a painful reminder Of something I never had ​ I understand now It's not easy, it hurts I understand now It's hard, it hurts a lot ​ ​ ​ ​
