Retribution Girl
02:28
|

I could strap on my superhero armor
And be a retribution girl
I've got enough enemies
To fill my arsenal of bad guys
In my superhero world
But first thing's first
I've gotta quench my thirst
On humanity and humility
The stuff that takes me out of it
I could wear a crown of thorns
And be a bruised and battered queen
Drag my cross behind me
Adorned with rock stars, wannabes
And everything in between
It doesn't get me off
In the same way as that thoughtful stuff
So I guess I'll let it go
And count my lucky stars again
Somebody's gonna make you pay
Someday you'll wake up and see
Your crap got you where you are today
But that somebody's not gonna be me
I go marching again
The voice of all the little girls
I wouldn't expose to me
Even though I'm what they need to see
It's okay to live in this world
You can make it your world
I've seen the worst
Put myself first
This is all about me
I'm so vain I bet this song's about me

Rear View Mirror
03:26
|

I can see you in my rear view mirror
You're right behind me but then you disappear
Who are you and what's this game you play?
You get so close and then you drive away
In my rear view mirror
In my rear view mirror
The sun is in my eyes the light is red
A million thoughts go rushing through my head
Is this sunglassed ghost my destiny?
Or will he chase me down eternally?
In my rear view mirror (I see you)
In my rear view mirror (but do you see me?)
The glow of headlights is all that's left of you
Night came and claimed our traffic rendezvous
So one more day I drive myself insane
Until tomorrow when our game starts again
In my rear view mirror
I'm taking the high road, it's leading me back to you
In my rear view mirror
My toll is a token that buys my way back to you
In my rear view mirror
I follow the freeway that keeps leading back to you
In my rear view mirror
The road that I'm going, it just circles back to you

Mantra
05:18
|

That which I cannot taste
That which I will not waste
Destroys me energizes me
Reminds me why I'm so cold
I paralyze like preying mantis
Shine down upon like rays of sunlight
Spread wrath upon like fiery locusts
Bring you my love like no one else will
That which I cannot taste
That which I will not waste
Destroys me energizes me
Reminds me why I'm so cold
That which I'll never know
That which I've failed to see
Creates me then denies me
It's the reason why I'm so cold
I spin around like ballerina
Forever live like golden icon
Pave it in stone like supernova
I'll write the end like God of Thunder
And I'll remember, always remember

All in One Night
04:18
|
|||
|
Everything is green
Even the darkness has an emerald sheen
It makes me feel unclean
The sickest I have ever been
The earth will surely throw me off
Once she finds out I'm a fraud
All in one night
I'll be enlightened, ignited, and smited
You are desperately
The one thing my eyes need to see
You must be disheartened
To learn I'm just not good enough
Oh tasteful yes, I clean up well
But I'll lead you straight to Hell
I'm not ordinary
But I'm very temporary
You might as well just walk away
Listen to what others say
All in one night
I'll answer your prayer and be your worst nightmare
I don't want to be a fallen angel
But I'm afraid I have no choice
I'd scream for your salvation
But you took away my voice
All in one night
Everything goes black
We cash in but can't get our money back
It's emptiness we lack
We're full of lies and that's a fact
Now we take our final vow
We ask, "Why?" it should be "How?"
All in one night
I gave you first sight, then darkened your dim light
I don't want to be your fallen angel
But I'm afraid I have no choice
I'd scream for your salvation
But you took away my voice
All in one night
All in one night

Mirror, Mirror
05:00
|
|||
|
You walk inside me
My naked walls in need of decoration
Claim your ground
I celebrate your declaration
Change me now
Forever I become the canvas
In denial
I am the beauty queen
(Forever known but never seen)
You're the best thing that ever happened
To my reflection, it's ever-changing
You're the one thing that made my mind up
That finally helped me see who's really me
Taste my blood
Vampire of the mortal nature
Does it run
Down your throat like sweet ambrosia?
Lick the wounds
For years that I have hidden behind
No more will I
Deny my inner Frankenstein
(Horror is a state of mind)
You're the best thing that ever happened
To my reflection, it's ever-changing
You're the one thing that made my mind up
That finally helped me see who's really me
What is it now?
Why can't this be enough?
Scream in my head
Like an addiction
(One more beautiful affliction)
You're the best thing that ever happened
To my reflection, it's ever-changing
You're the one thing that made my mind up
That finally helped me see who's really...
The best thing that ever happened
To my reflection, it's ever-changing
You're the one thing that made my mind up
That finally helped me see who's really me

Insane in Vain
03:34
|
|||
|
The rain came down
And it covered your face
It made me hang my head
In a sort of disgrace
I never felt so much
Left out of the joke
It made me swallow my pride
I just pray I don't choke
You gotta know
I fall to you
You gotta know
I crawl to you
In the pale moonlight
It all became clear
I screamed these words
In hopes you would hear
If you could just see me
Through your beautiful eyes
But you can see through me
Past all of my cries
You gotta know
I fall to you
You gotta know
I crawl to you
I go insane in vain
Trapped inside of this cell
While you float like air
I breathe you in my Hell
You gotta know
I fall to you
You gotta know
You've got to know

August in Your Eyes
02:49
|
|||
|
Promises are strange that way
I'll never understand how I could be so blind
As to believe them every time
I'll love you madly if the air is hot
And if it's August in your eyes
Promises are strange that way
I'll never understand how I can see through them
Just an hour after you're gone
I'll love you madly if the air is hot
And if it's August in your eyes
Sometimes it overcomes me but I try not to let it show
That I strongly feel inadequate to everything you know
Everything you know

Black Coffee
04:06
|
|||
|
Monday morning
Nothing left to do
But start over
Start a path that's new
One foot on the ground
The other takes its turn
I don't know how to step
But I guess I'll have to learn
Changes pick me up again
Waking up my will to fight
With black coffee stronger than my tears
And darker than the places I've been hiding
Sometimes I feel just like a child
But I'm older, older than my years
It's time to step into the light
And be the star that I've been wishing on
'Cause these changes pick me up again
Waking up my will to fight
With black coffee stronger than my tears
And darker than the places I've been hiding

Such Good Taste
03:42
|
|||
|
How I need you
Ever after
Your dirty looks
And your empty laughter
Oh how I chose you
You are so special
Your love of hatred
I'll never question
But all of this dichotomy
Is soaking up my energy
It's just a classic case of me
I only want the best
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who have it out for me
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who live in infamy
I'll suffer gladly
To hate you madly
The gods of war
They always bless me
All the finest
Of fake kindness
I draw it near me
Just like a magnet
And all of this dichotomy
Is bringing out the worst in me
It's just another case of me
I only want the best
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who have it out for me
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who live in infamy
It's just another chapter in
My book of why I always win
I'd tell you to be flattered
If you ever mattered
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who have it out for me
Such good taste in enemies
I always pick the ones who live in infamy
Such good taste
Such good taste
