tear it down take me down peel back your skin never believe again burn it down take me down peel back your skin never believe again tell all your friends

there is a hole in my world I can feel it inside of me and I am starting to think I don't think I can still believe there is a mark on my skin there is a poison in my veins I cannot do this again but I can hold on to the remains my heart is cracking and torn my mind is running away seems like the moment I was born I began to decay I've got a hatred within I feel it growing every day I need a reason to live I keep on beating and tearing and burning and rotting myself away let's summarize this again I haven't hurt myself quite enough I was still breaking you in I guess it all just got too rough you keep on telling me you're sorry but I know just what you're about you don't even feel guilty you're only sorry that I found out I used to give you more than everything and I just watched you throw it all away and you just keep on looking the other way until there really is nothing else to say I'm starting rumours about you and the worst part is they're all true I'm telling secrets you told me my new obsession is hurting you

you're the kind of girl I'd let down just to see you fall the kind of christ I'd nail up twice trying to prove you wrong
5.
hey, I'm under your skin now is there something you'd like to say? I've got nobody else to take down and I'm on the way out today hey, I'm taking your breath now is there someone else in your bed well follow me, I'll show you what it feels like to be dead just like you, I'm just a liar I've got nowhere to go I kill myself to make you hurt and my heart is just a whore all two years less, I've spent a lifetime dying all alone and I'm gonna make you see what it's like when everyone is gone I want you to die for me not that I care about you I just want you dead

about

When this album was conceived, it was intended to sound something like it does today, but as I worked on it off and on, small bits and pieces of its character were left along the side of the road as I discovered new things about this music and how I wanted it to be received. The version of "On the Way Down" that you hear is not progressive, lengthy, and full of grandiose like I had initially envisioned it to be. Instead, it is a collage of sorts, comprised of everything worth saving out of a couple months' worth of musical experimentation, in the end only accounting for around twenty minutes of audio – one side of a record. It is extremely short, fairly simplistic, and incredibly noisy, with pieces of music that seem to fall harshly, unannounced, and out of place in front of the listener, often without a fitting transition. It is meant to be an easily-digested, quick listen. It is a concentrated burst of anger and callousness, directed at a very tough time in my life and the person(s) that caused it. It is not for the faint of heart.
