The Smashing Pumpkins

I never let on, that i was on a sinking ship. I never let on, that i was down.

Emptiness is loneliness, And loneliness is cleanliness, And cleanliness is godliness, And god is empty just like me.

The world is a vampire, sent to drain. Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames. And what do i get, for my pain? Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game.

Despite all my rage, i am still, just a rat in a cage. Then someone will say — what is lost, can never be saved. Despite all my rage, i am still, just a rat in a cage.

And i still believe, that i cannot be saved.

The useless drags, the empty days. The lonely towers of long mistakes To forgotten faces and faded loves. Sitting still was never enough.

The useless drag of another day. The endless drags of a death rock boy. Mascara sure and lipstick lost. Glitter burned by restless, Thoughts of, being forgotten.

Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness. Bulls*** fakers, Enchanted kingdoms, The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth.

Ten times removed, I forget about, where it all began. Bastard son of, a bastard son of, A wild eyed child of the sun. And right as rain, i'm not the same. But i feel the same, i…

Welcome to nowhere fast. Nothing here ever lasts. Nothing but memories, Of what never was.

Now i'm naked, nothing but an animal. But can you fake it, for just one more show. And what do you want, i want to change. And what have you got, when you feel the same.

Tell me, i'm the only one. Tell me, there's no other one. Jesus was an only son. Tell me, i'm the chosen one. Jesus was an only son for you.

And in your sad machines, You'll forever stay Desperate and displeased-with, whoever you are.

You can't bring me back, Cause i gave it all back to you.

And i give it all back to you, for you. No way, i don't need it, I don't need your love, to disconnect. And you make it, so real, I don't need your love, to disconnect.

Living makes me sick, So sick, i wish i'd die. Down in the belly of the beast - I can't lie.
