Halo 2-Pretty Hate Machine
Head Like a Hole
God money I�ll do anything for you, God money just tell me what
you want me to do, God money nail up against the wall, God
money don�t want everything he wants it all, No you can�t take,
No you can�t take, No you can�t take that away from me,
Head like a hole, black as your soul, I�d rather die than give you
control, Head like a hole, black as your soul, I�d rather die than
give you control,
Bow down before the one you serve, you�re going to get what you
deserve, God money�s not looking for the cure, God money�s not
concerned about the sick among the pure, God money let�s go
dancing on the backs of the bruised, God money�s not one to
choose, No you can�t take, No you can�t take, No you can�t take
that away from me,
Head like a hole, black as your soul, I�d rather die than give you
control, Head like a hole, black as your soul, I�d rather die than
give you control,
Bow down before the one you serve, you�re going to get what you
deserve, You know who you are
Terrible Lie
Hey God, Why are you doing this to me? Am I not living up to
what I�m supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity?
Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology
Terrible Lie
Hey God, I really don�t know what you mean, Seems like
salvation comes only in our dreams, I feel my hatred grow all the
more extreme, Hey God, can this world really be as sad as it
seems
Terrible Lie
Don�t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to, Don�t
take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Hey God, There�s nothing left for me to hide, I lost my ignorance,
security and pride, I�m all alone in a world you must despise, Hey
God, I believed the promises, the promises and lies
Terrible Lie
You made me throw it all away, My morals left to decay, How
many you betray, You�ve taken everything
Terrible Lie
My head is filled with disease, My skin is begging you please, I�m
on my hands and knees, I want so much to believe
I need someone to hold onto, I need someone to hold onto, I need
someone to hold onto, I need someone to hold onto,
I give you everything, My sweet everything
Hey God, I really don�t know who I am, in this world of piss
Down In It
Kinda like a cloud, I was up way up in the sky, and I was feeling
some feelings that you wouldn�t believe, Sometimes I can�t believe
them myself and I decided I was never coming down, Just then a
tiny little dot caught my eye, It was just about to small to see, But I
watched it way too long, and that dot was pulling me down
I was up above it, Now I�m down in it
Well shut up, So what does it matter now, I was swimming in the
haze now I crawl on the ground, and everything I never liked
about you is kind of seeping into me, Try to laugh about it now but
isn�t funny how everything works our ("I guess the jokes on me,"
she said)
I was up above it, Now I�m down in it
I used to be so big and strong, I used to know my right from
wrong, I used to never be afraid, I used to be somebody, I used to
have something inside, Now just this hole that�s open wide, I used
to want it all, I used to be somebody
I�ll cross my heart, I hope to die, But the needle�s already in my
eye, and all the world�s weight is on my back, and I don�t even
know why, And what I used to think was me, was just a fading
memory, I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
I was up above it, Now I�m down in it
Sanctified
It�s still getting worse after everything I�ve tried, What if I found
away to wash it all aside, what if she touches with those fingertips,
as the words spill out just like fire from her lips
If she says come inside I�ll come inside for her, If she says give it
all I�ll give everything to her, I am justified, I am purified, I am
sanctified, inside you
Heaven�s just a rumor she�ll dispel, As she walks me through the
nicest parts of hell, I still dream of lips I never should have kissed,
Well she knows exactly what I can�t resist
If she says come inside I�ll come inside for her, If she says give it
all I�ll give everything to her, I am justified, I am purified, I am
sanctified, inside you
I�m just caught up in another of her spells, She�s turning me into
someone else, Everyday I hope and pray that this will end, But
when I can I do it all again
If she says come inside I�ll come inside for her, If she says give it
all I�ll give everything to her, I am justified, I am purified, I am
sanctified, inside you
As surely as the blade�s course has run, Maybe my kingdom�s
finally come
Something I Can Never Have
I still recall the taste of your tears, echoing your voice just like the
ringing in my ears, my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore,
scraping through my head till I don�t want to sleep anymore
come on tell me, you make this all go away, you make this all go
away, I�m down to just one thing, and I�m starting to scare myself
you make this all go away, you make this all go away, I just want
something, I just want something I can never have
you always were the one to show me how, back then I couldn�t
do the things that I can do now, this thing is slowly taking me
apart, grey would be the color, if I had a heart
come on tell me, you make this all go away, you make this all go
away, I�m down to just one thing, and I�m starting to scare myself
you make this all go away, you make this all go away, I just want
something, I just want something I can never have
in this place it seems like such a shame, though it all looks different
now, I know it�s still the same, everywhere I look your all I see,
just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be
come on tell me, you make this all go away, you make this all go
away, I�m down to just one thing, and I�m starting to scare myself
you make this all go away, you make this all go away, I just want
something, I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have
think I know what you meant, that night on my bed, still picking at
this scab, I wish I were dead, your sweat and perry ellis, just stains
on my sheets
Kinda I Want To
I can�t shake this feeling from my head, there�s a devil sleeping in
my bed, he�s watching you from across the way, I cannot make
this feeling go away
I know it�s not the right thing, and I know it�s not the good thing,
but kinda I want to
I�m not sure of what I should do, when every thought I�m thinking
of is you, all of my excuses turn to lies, maybe God will cover up
his eyes
I know it�s not the right thing, and I know it�s not the good thing,
but kinda I want to kinda I want to
maybe just for tonight, we can pretend it�s alright, what�s the price
I pay, I don�t care what they say, I want to, I want to (I�ll take my
chance tonight)
Sin
you give me the reason, you give me control, I gave you my purity,
and my purity you stole, did you think I wouldn�t recognize this
compromise, am I just to stupid to realize, stale incense old sweat,
and lies lies lies
it comes down to this, your kiss, your fist, and your strain, it gets
under my skin, within, take in the extent of my sin
you give me the anger, you give me the nerve, carry out this
sentence, while I get what I deserve, I�m just an effigy to be
defaced, to be disgraced, your need for me has been replaced,
and if I can�t have everything, well then just give me a taste
it comes down to this, your kiss, your fist, and your strain, it gets
under my skin, within, take in the extent of my sin
That's What I get
just when everything was making sense, you took away all my self
confidence, now all that I�ve been hearing must be true, I guess
I�m not the only boy for you
but that�s what I get
how could you turn me into this? after you just taught me how to
kiss you, I told you I�d never say goodbye, now I�m slipping on
the tears you made me cry
but that�s what I get
why does it come as a surprise, to think that I was so na�ve,
maybe didn�t mean so much, but it meant everything to me
The Only Time
I�m drunk, and right now I�m in love with you, and I don�t want to
think to much, about what we should or shouldn�t do, lay my
hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars, while the
devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car,
nothing quite like the feel of something new,
maybe I�m all messed up, maybe I�m all messed up in you,
but this is the only time I really feel alive, this is the only time I
really feel alive
I swear I just found everything I need, the sweat in your eyes the
blood in your veins, are listening to me, well I want to drink it up,
and swim in it until I drown, my moral standing is lying down
nothing quite like the feel of something new,
maybe I�m all messed up, maybe I�m all messed up in you,
but this is the only time I really feel alive, this is the only time I
really feel alive
I can�t help thinking Christ never had it like this
Ringfinger
well you�ve got me working so hard lately, working my hands until
they bleed, if I was twice the man I could be, I�d still be half of
what you need, still you lead me and I follow, anything you ask
you know I�ll do, this one act of consecration, is what I ask of you
ringfinger, promise carved in stone, deeper than the see, ringfinger,
sever flesh and bone, and offer it to me
well you just leave me hang here, hanging like Jesus on this cross,
I�ll be dying for your sins, and aiding to the cause
ringfinger, promise carved in stone, deeper than the see, ringfinger,
sever flesh and bone, and offer it to me
wrap my eyes in bandages, confessions I see through, I get
everything I want, when I get part of you
ringfinger, promise carved in stone, deeper than the see, ringfinger,
sever flesh and bone, and offer it to me
ringfinger, promise carved in stone, deeper than the see, ringfinger,
devil�s flesh and bone, do something for me
I'm so tired I can't get to sleep, the squeaking of the bed is right in
time with the song that's repeating in my head, I just want you to
know, when I do it, I only think of you
