Track 1: Mr Self Destruct
I am the voice inside your head
(And I control you)
I am the lover in your bed
(And I control you)
I am the sex that you provide
(And I control you)
I am the hate you try to hide
(And I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
I speak religion's message clear
(And I control you)
I am denial, guilt, and fear
(And I control you)
I am the prayers of the naive
(And I control you)
I am the lie that you believe
(And I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
You let me do this to you (I am an exit)
I am the needle in the vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher, I'm a whore
I am the need in you for more
I am the bullet in the gun
(And I control you)
I am the truth from which you run
(And I control you)
I am the silencing machine
(And I control you)
I am the end of all your dreams
(And I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct

Track 2: Piggy
Hey pig
Yeah you
Hey pig piggy pig pig pig
All of my fears came true
Black and blue and broken bones
You left me here, I'm all alone
My little piggy needed something new
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care
Hey pig
Nothing's turning out the way I planned
Hey pig
There's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
What am I supposed to do?
Lost my shit because of you
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I just don't care
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can

Track 3: Heresy
He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed a god up and called it Christianity
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
Your God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
Burning with your god in humility
Will you die for this?
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
(Your god is dead)
God is dead
(And no one cares)
And no one cares
(Drowning in his own hypocrisy)
If there is a hell I'll see you there

Track 4: March of Pigs
Step right up, march, push
Crawl right up on your knees
Please, greed, feed
(No time to hesitate)
I want a little bit
I want a piece of it
I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
Don't like the look of it
Don't like the taste of it
Don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down

All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't it make you feel better?

Shove it up, inside, surprise!
Lies, stains like the blood on your teeth
Bite, chew, suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down
Maybe afraid of it
Let's discredit it
Let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down

All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't it make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly
And everything is all right

Track 5: Closer
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

(Help me)
I broke apart my insides
(Help me)
I've got no soul to sell
(Help me)
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

(Help me)
You tear down my reason
(Help me)
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me)
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey
Inside your hive
You are the reason
I stay alive

Track 6: Ruiner
You had all of them on your side
Didn't you? Didn't you?
You believed in all your lies
Didn't you? Didn't you?
The ruiner's got a lot to prove
He's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The ruiner's your only friend
Well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent
You know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left
In my fucking world is wearing your disease

How'd you get so big?
How'd you get so strong?
How'd it get so hard?
How'd it get so long?

You had to give them all a sign
Didn't you? Didn't you?
You had to covet what was mine
Didn't you? Didn't you?
The ruiner's a collector
He's an infector serving his shit to his flies
Maybe there will come a day
When those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took
To a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that fucked me up
Much more than you'll ever know

How'd you get so big?
How'd you get so strong?
How'd you get so hard?
How'd it get so long?
And what you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see
What you really are

You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop

Track 7: The Becoming
I beat my machine
It's a part of me, it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream
It's changing me, I am becoming
The me that you know
He had some second thoughts
He's covered with scabs
He is broken and sore
The me that you know
He doesn't come around much
That part of me isn't here anymore

All pain disappears
It's the nature of of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear
No escape from this, my new consciousness
The me that you know
He used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping
And he is left to decay
The me that you know
Is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you
I'm so far away
I can try to get away
But I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away
The sound in my ears
I can see it killing away
All of my bad parts
I don't want to listen
But it's all too clear

Hiding backwards inside of me
I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter
I might just slip away

It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up, it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
