GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD
IN SPACE THE STARS ARE NO NEARER
THEY JUST GLITTER LIKE A MORGUE
AND I DREAMED I WAS A SPACEMAN
BURNED LIKE A MOTH IN A FLAME
AND OUR WORLD WAS SO FUCKING GONE BUT I'M NOT ATTACHED TO YOUR WORLD
NOTHING HEALS AND NOTHING GROWS BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD
AND WE ARE DRAINED OF OUR COLORS
WE USED TO LOVE OURSELVES,
WE USED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
ALL MY STITCHES ITCH
MY PRESCRIPTION'S LOW, I WISH YOU
WERE QUEEN
JUST FOR TODAY
IN A WORLD SO WHITE WHAT ELSE COULD I SAY? AND HELL WAS SO COLD
ALL THE VASES ARE SO BROKEN
AND THE ROSES TEAR OUR HANDS ALL OPEN
MOTHER MARY MISCARRY
BUT WE PRAY JUST LIKE INSECTS
THE WORLD IS SO UGLY NOW BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD
AND WE ARE DRAINED OF OUR COLORS
WE USED TO LOVE OURSELVES,
WE USED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
ALL MY STITCHES ITCH
MY PRESCRIPTION'S LOW, I WISH YOU
WERE QUEEN
JUST FOR TODAY
IN A WORLD SO WHITE WHAT ELSE COULD I SAY?

THE DAY THAT WE LOST OUR SOULS

I AM NEVER GONNA SAVE THE WORLD FROM YOU
BUT THEY'LL NEVER BE GOOD TO YOU
OR BAD TO YOU
THEY'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING
ANYTHING AT ALL YOU WERE MY MECHANICAL BRIDE
YOU WERE PHENOBARBIDOLL
A MANNIQUEEN OF DEPRESSION
WITH THE FACE OF A DEAD STAR
AND I WAS A HAND GRENADE
THAT NEVER STOPPED EXPLODING
YOU WERE AUTOMATIC AND
AS HOLLOW AS THE "O" IN GOD I AM NEVER GONNA BE THE ONE FOR YOU
I AM NEVER GONNA SAVE THE WORLD FROM YOU
BUT THEY'LL NEVER BE GOOD TO YOU
OR BAD TO YOU
THEY'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING
ANYTHING AT ALL THIS ISN'T ME I'M NOT MECHANICAL

THAT OUR EARTH IS TOO GREY
BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT IS SO DIGITAL
THE BODY ACTS THIS WAY
THAT WORLD WAS KILLING ME

| THE SPEED OF PAIN THEY SLIT OUR THROATS
LIKE WE WERE FLOWERS
AND OUR MILK HAS BEEN
DEVOURED WHEN YOU WANT IT
IT GOES AWAY TOO FAST
WHEN YOU HATE IT
IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO LAST
BUT JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'RE FREE
THE CRACK INSIDE YOUR FUCKING HEART IS ME (THOUGHT, NOT SPOKEN):
I WANNA OUTRACE THE SPEED OF PAIN FOR ANOTHER DAY I WISH I COULD SLEEP
BUT I CAN'T LAY ON MY BACK
BECAUSE THERE'S A KNIFE
FOR EVERYDAY THAT I'VE KNOWN YOU WHEN YOU WANT IT
IT GOES AWAY TOO FAST
WHEN YOU HATE IT
IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO LAST
BUT JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'RE FREE
THE CRACK INSIDE YOUR FUCKING HEART IS ME (THOUGHT, NOT SPOKEN):
I WANNA OUTRACE THE SPEED OF PAIN FOR ANOTHER DAY LIE TO ME, CRY TO ME, GIVE TO ME
I WOULD
LIE WITH ME, DIE WITH ME, GIVE TO ME
I WOULD
KEEP ALL YOUR SECRETS WRAPPED IN DEAD HAIR ALWAYS
I HOPE AT LEAST WE DIE HOLDING HANDS
FOR ALWAYS

WE'LL BE TOGETHER WHILE THE PLANET DIES
I KNOW IT'S THE LAST DAY ON EARTH

I KNOW THEY WANT ME DEAD I KNOW IT'S THE LAST DAY ON EARTH
WE'LL BE TOGETHER WHILE THE PLANET DIES
I KNOW IT'S THE LAST DAY ON EARTH
