The Bronx

Quiet like an elevator, even the walls are scared
I'm dependent on a generator, just to breathe in air
Medication, medication, signatures and stares
Watching all the lights come down, never wanting to care

These circles seem so strange
I run around and around, but nothing's changed
Medication, medication, signatures and stares

I'm reinventing brand new lives like they were never there
I never want to run out, get more, can't stand waiting
I never want to run out, don't stop the lines from fading
It's time to wake up, I've been asleep for far too long

It's time to wake up before the pain, I feel is gone
I never want to run out

Want to take a chance, want to wait
But it burns cut me what you want
But give me just a little more
I already know how it's going to feel to let you go

Cough me aside, put me out like a cigarette
But I won't forget, I'm not dead, I'm not fine
Feed me lies all of this time spent sitting in my room
Trying to match with the faceless blood

Cut me what you want
But you give me just a little bit more
I'm running out of words so listen up
'Cause here I go, I'm not dead, I'm not alive

Feed me truth, kill my friends
Unless they do what I say
I need silence, I need addiction
I need a reason for my sins before

I die, I'm not dead
Tell me lies, feed me truth
Come on, baby, please be true
So I put cigarettes in my eyes

Days, you always want to tell me lies
You try to sell me to the stars at night
You think I'm too uptight
Love, you call me on the phone, alone
You wish that I could stay, speaking pain in codes
Telling me you still care through a dial tone

Drugs, you want to put my life on hold
You really want to see me growing old with you
Like a naive friend
But I, I never wanna face myself again
Unless I'm coming true, speaking pain in codes

Telling you that I know I'm no good alone
And I've tried so hard just to be myself
But I've erased everything I was
I tried searching for the truth alone
And I remember everything I've done

I'm thinking everything will turn out fine
But I'm a little kid without a soul
Give me just a little bit more time
Just a little bit

Say what you want to do to me or you
I don't care, right, yeah

I've tried so hard just to be myself
But I've erased everything I was
I tried searching for the truth alone
And I remember everything I've done

And I've erased everything I know
And I'm a little kid without a soul
Give me just a little bit more time
To solve my future, to solve my future

All this time I've been unclean
Watching you 'cause you're watching me
Shotgun knives into my heart without a reason

All I want is to never die
Fuck the beats of a different heart
What I'll do if you never tell
Bleed me an answer

We got chills
I break it down and build again, sit still

Line me up so I can burn
My heart knows you won't return
Make some sense of being alone
'Cause I'm wasted

Blackout rescue from my faults
Take away my sober stare
Pay phone prayer give me what I want
Give me an answer

Trying to stare through you
I can't get past your eyes
Locked to the inside

We got chills
I break it down and build again, sit still

Let me inject

Trying to stare through you
I can't get past your eyes
Sweating through the nights
Again, again, again, watch out they fall

We got chills
I break it down and build again, I sit still
I've got pills, I got chills
I got chills, I got chills

What's left of California?
What's left of Los Angeles?

Sidewalks cry 'cause they're not as high
Shooting old dope
Rich kid skies are a good disguise
Lining our veins with hope

What did you get for free and where you gonna sell it?
Why should I give a shit cover up your face lift?
What's left of my broken heart what's left of Los Angeles

We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it

Scrape black tar from a guilty lung
Throw a needle in your arm
Cough up wrongs of the city stars
They didn't mean no harm

What were you supposed to be and what did you turn into
We don't even need you here but where you gonna run to
Good drugs, bad streets, arms tied, my world capsized with style

We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it

I got a [Incomprehensible] just leave me alone
I got a new plan, get me outta here
Pretend sincere stumble on words
Desperation the warmth of a gun
Last hundred years, remember twenty four

We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it

We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it

Say enough words to make me forget
Until I get dangerous and desperate
I love it when I'm telling myself lies
The good ones that I know I can cash

Stare at my face until I neglect
Everything I couldn't forgive
Look at the way you make me
Live choking like a fucking kid

I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
Built on faults

To who it concerns consider this
I tried all your cures but I'm still sick
I'm never going to regain senses
I burn another hole in my head

Remember the disease you spread
Like addiction that comes in fits

I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
Built on faults

Talk enough words to make me forget
All my dreams are dead
Disguise lack of progress

Quit sending me signals for chemicals
Everything I crave is going to kill me
Don't want to be sick
Depression just seems to stick

I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
Built on faults

Baby's got cancer, looking for the answer
She's got cancer, someone romance her
She was one of a kind

Now she's perfected
Living on all the lies they injected
Now she's staring at the scars that needed correction
It's not a habit she claims
She's got American eyes
Letting her body go, she's dead

Rejection, looking for direction
Gimme picture, gimme reception
The clean smell of sin
She's nervous at the hips
The car's right outside and I'm ready to go

Infected, living on all of the lies she injected
Now I'm infected
Staring at the scars in need of correction
It's not a habit, I claim
I got American eyes
Letting my body go, I'm dead

She's got cancer, looking for the answer
She's got cancer, someone romance her
She's one of a kind

We got cancer, looking for the answer
We got cancer, looking for the answer
We got cancer, looking for the answer

Yeah, I don't think I'm alive
Dead footsteps, another outcast screaming alone
God help me, give me what you want
Give me what you need, I'll take it all
Stand fall, lost out, baby, yes I know

It's not a secret, a false alarm
Another front page
Lie disguised to help me burn

Another year of research stand still
Turn on the lights, baby, show me your scars
Salvation, give me audio give me visual overload
So slow, lost out, baby, yes I know

Yeah, everyone is suspect
Everyone deserts sometimes
Another loss, I'm feeling alone

It's not a secret a false alarm
It's not a secret, it's not a sad song
Another front page lie disguised to help me burn
God help us, false alarm

I'm done telling you that I'm in love
What I have will never be enough
Come on baby, go live life on your own
Everything inside is breaking down
And you don't want to be hanging around
I don't think I want to leave myself alone

I'm done having to apologize
I'm done living inside your eyes
When the lights go out what's left to know
Nothing ever makes sense to me
A broken branch of the family tree
I kill the lights, now baby, watch me explode

There is no revolution
And I'm done doing things I don't want to do
There is no restitution
And I'm done

I'm done living in this decline
I'm done watching you redesign
Come on baby, let's go walk out the door
I'm done showing up to the fucking work
Taking orders from a fucking bitch
I'm in the chair now go ahead and flip the switch

I'm done doing things I don't want to do
And I'm sick and tired of setting up to be like you
Fucked up, thrown out and overdue
I'm fucking done

There is no revolution
There is no revolution
There is no revolution

give it a rest and then try it again with more soul
until you learn that clearing your heads'
the same as losing control in this space
don't let it drive you crazy
don't let it drive you insane there's no point
because you just keep turning us on and turning us off
and on and off and on
until we're light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
give it a break cause if you try it again you'll get bored
because you don't really know where it starts
but you know that it ends with no friends
cause even this is a test and i'm sorry if it breaks your bubble
but you still need some rest because it's gonna go
it's gonna go
on and on and on, on and on and on, on and on and on


until it hurts
we will go
on and on and on, on and on and on, on and and on
until it hurts

keep turning us on, and turning us off
you keep turning us on and turning us off (x5)
