I don't wanna fight with you no more
Unless you put your fist through the wall
I don't wanna hear you screaming my name
I'm so tired of playing the same old game
I don't wanna fight with you no more
Unless you put your fist through the wall
I don't wanna hear you screaming my name
I'm so tired of playing the same old game
Yeah you left your mark on me
That you know is branded
It was an insecurity
So you had me grounded
You really got your hooks in deep
Now didn't you?
I took a little ride
On your hell-bound train
It was a really bad trip
It nearly drove me to my grave
And too much time was going by
And you're still here
It's time for me to fly
You never wanted me to leave
So you had me branded
Your love was just skin deep
So you had me branded
Tought I'd be yours for eternity
So you had me branded
You really got your hooks in deep
Now didn't you?
When we first met
You said let down your wall
Let me into your heart
We can have it all
You were a real smooth talker
I opened up my heart
So you can rip it apart
Oh-oh
Just like Satan
Obsession, possession forever
You never wanted me to leave
So you had me branded
Your love was just skin deep
So you had me branded
Tought I'd be yours for eternity
So you had me branded
You really got your hooks in deep
Now didn't you?
Yeah
Branded!
He was born on an average day
Looked like any other baby
Neighbors said "what a lovely boy you have," yeah
Through the years, he could've been
Most anybody's kid
Never did anything to show
The madman living in his soul
Never know he was going crazy
A little bit at a time
Hate, don't you love it?
The world can't seem to get enough of it
Hate, don't you want it?
You love the way you feel when you're on it
Hate, hate
All through his high school days
He kept himself hid away
Never let anybody close
He was just the quiet one
Slowly coming undone
Who knew there was something missing from his soul?
Like a spider building up a web
A little bit at a time
Hate, don't you love it?
The world can't seem to get enough of it
Hate, don't you want it?
You love the way you feel when you're on it
Hate, hate
Last night on the evening news
I heard his name and it turned my head
Something 'bout a local boy
And fifteen people dead
He thought he was a guardian angel
Gonna put this world at peace
He was talking 'bout happiness
Like it was some kind of disease
He died on an average day
At the state penitentiary
They laid him in his grave
The camera's rolled and the people waved
Hate, don't you love it?
The world can't seem to get enough of it
Hate, don't you want it?
You love the way you feel when you're on it
Hate, don't you love it?
The world can't seem to get enough of it
Hate, don't you want it?
You love the way you feel when you're on it
Hate
I can't get enough, don't you love it?
Hate
I don't have a death wish
You have no remorse
You have no reflection
Dragging me off course
You drain me of my life
Drain me of my blood
Who are you? What do you want?
Am I your desire to live higher?
Take off your mask
And let me see what's underneath
Something from the past
It's eating away at me
I gotta see what's really inside
I will never know
It's one big surprise
You Jekyll and Hyde
Under your mask
You think you got everyone fooled
They think you got class
All you do is ridicule
I will never know
What's buried inside
You won't let it show
It's one big disguise
You Jekyll and Hyde
Jekyll and Hyde
I wore a silver cross
It burns a hole right through my heart
His word's my reward
Hey, 'til death do us part
Ye-yeah
I don't have a death wish
You have no remorse
You have no reflection
Dragging me off course
You drain me of my life
Drain me of my blood
Who are you? What do you want?
Am I your desire to live higher?
I will never know
What's buried inside
You won't let it show
It's one big surprise
Hey, Jekyll and Hyde
Like Jekyll and Hyde
I gotta see under the mask
Yeah, you Jekyll and Hyde
I was running crazy, I was running wild
Living on the edge, yeah, I was living in style
My hands start shaking like the streets of Hollywood
My mind was wasted, I still did the best I could
One day, I left town with just the shirt on my back
And a guitar on my shoulder, yeah, I wasn't coming back
I had to break the spell my heart was under
So I rolled out of town on wheels of thunder
And I will never forget what my mama said
She said
Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway
I remember when I was seventeen
Riding in the back of a black limousine
I used to stare at the stars and ask for God to please guide me
In the right direction
I didn't know where I was going
I didn't know where I was gonna stay
All I knew was that I was going far, far away
And it still feels like yesterday when he says
Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway
Yeah
I left each town with a wink and a kiss
That maybe I'd be back real soon
A lot of memories from fans like you
People that made my dreams come true
And I can still hear them saying
Run, baby, run 'cross New York City
Run, baby, run through the streets of L.A.
Run, baby, run, yeah, you can't slow down
And you can never stay when you're living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
When you're living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
When you're living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Run, baby, run
Living like a runaway
Run, baby, run
Had every door slammed in my face
Told me a girl needs to know her place
I never listened, I proved 'em all wrong
I rocked their asses from here to Hong Kong
I'm not invited, but I'm coming anyway
I am relentless like a freight train coming through the driving rain
Relentless like a fighter in the ring, I don't feel pain
I am relentless, all you try to do is drive me insane
You're never gonna keep me down
I am relentless
You try to break me and take my crown
Run my name into the crowd
Life's what you make it, no one's to blame
And all that matters is the price of fame
You try to stop me, but I'm coming anyway
I am relentless like a freight train coming through the driving rain
Relentless like a fighter in the ring, I don't feel pain
I am relentless, all you try to do is drive me insane
And you're never gonna keep me down
I am relentless
Never got the cover of guitar magazines
And I play guitar like no chick they'd ever seen
Got platinum records hanging on my wall
The bigger they are, you know the harder they fall
I'm not invited, but I'm coming anyway
I am relentless like a freight train coming through the driving rain
Relentless like a fighter in the ring, I don't feel pain
I am relentless, all you try to do is drive me insane
Oh yeah (Relentless), yeah, yeah, hey
I am relentless like a freight train coming through the driving rain
Relentless like a fighter in the ring, I don't feel pain
I am relentless, all you try to do is drive me insane
And you're never gonna keep me down, yeah
I am relentless
I am your mother
Your flesh and blood, your family, yeah
And like no other
Until they bury me six foot deep
No matter what the future holds
And even though you've just begun to grow
Just know you'll always have your mother
The damage is done
I never wanted things to work out this way
My little ones
How do I say how sorry I am?
Someday, you'll see the truth
And you'll come running back to me
Just know you'll always have your mother
You'll always have your mother
He lies to you and blames it on me
He tries to find comfort in insanity
Should be crucified, hung up to die
He paints an ugly picture of you and I
It's so far from truth, it's hard to see
The only way to hurt me
Was through my love for you
I am your mother
Please understand why I had to leave
The pain was deep
He was hurting me
When you look in the sky at a shining star
Listen to your heart and know who you are
And I'll always be your mother
I'll always be your mother
I'll always be a part of you
There's lightning in the distance
The wind begins to howl
There's thunder at my window
I'm going out for a prowl
It seems to me when lightning strikes
Knocks me off my feet
The trouble I'm in is black as sin
But your touch feels so sweet
Love don't come easy for a lonely soul like me
I find myself in trouble on the road to misery
I try to do the right thing, but I'm easily misled
I'm drawn to the dark side and the devil in my head
Ain't an alibi left in town
House of cards comes tumbling down
Nine lives and counting as the reaper makes its choice
It seems to me when lightning strikes
Knocks me off my feet
The trouble I'm in is black as sin
But your touch feels so sweet
Love don't come easy for a lonely soul like me
I find myself in trouble on the road to misery
I try to do the right thing, but I'm easily misled
I'm drawn to the dark side and the devil in my head
Sometimes, the angels are watching over me
To rescue me
And sometimes, I feel lucky to be alive
I don't know why I keep coming home
To the devil in my head
Yeah, I keep coming home
To the devil in my head, alright
Can the ghost of a blind man see in the mirror of time?
Does the soul of a thief steal mercy from the scene of the crime?
Love don't come easy for a lonely soul like me
I find myself in trouble on the road to misery
I try to do the right thing, but I'm easily misled
I'm drawn to the dark side and the devil in my head
Walking through these halls
Filled with anger
Screaming for my life
But no one answers
And in my head, the voice of doom
The walls are cold and I sit true
I'm forever lost in the asylum
The scars of your love on my wrist
The scars of madness on your fist
I tried to save the ones I love
I prayed for help from God above
I'm forever lost in the asylum
No one will believe the story I tell
No one could imagine such a lonely hell
No one seems to help me now
As though my words were all blacked out
And written on the walls of the asylum, yeah
Instead, I turn those tables 'round
You knock me down on hallowed ground
Our wedding vows we'll pronounce, into the asylum
The whispers of the ghosts of dreams
The way I hoped my life would be
One day, I know you'll realize
Our love was meant to die
I don't wanna die in the asylum
The writing on the wall in the asylum
You gave me diamonds
You built me mansions
You gave me everything a girl could want
You bought my first tattoo
I sent you flowers
Oh, poison flowers
I gave you everything your heart desired
And your little dog too
I know love's a sacrifice, no doubt
Something we can't live without
Yeah, I think I've worked it out
Why I love to hate you
Why I love to hate you
I bought you leather
Black leather
I bought you everything a girl could want
I bought your first guitar
I gave you loving
Your first real loving
In the back seat
On the night I bought your first real car
I know love's a sacrifice, no doubt
Something we can't live without
Yeah, I think I've worked it out
Why I love to hate you
Yeah, I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
But there's just something that's missing
Must be your heart and soul
There's an emptiness inside you
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I just love to hate you
I know love's a sacrifice, no doubt
Something we can't live without
Yeah, I think I've worked it out
Why I love to hate you
I love to hate you (Oh, get outta my face)
I love to hate you (Oh, you make me sick)
I love to hate you (Unbelievable)
I just love to hate you
Distortion, out of phase
Washes over my sour face
My life is through
I guess I owe it all to you
Check me out
You left me wonderin' what I'm about
You suck me dry and you spit me out
There's still one thing I can do
So I wrote this tune just for you
This song's to slit your wrists by
This song might have a twist
A song to slit your wrists by
This song's my goodbye kiss
Yeah
Black tears run down
My face, check out the clown
I don't think I'm through
I just keep writing this tune for you
I said, a song to slit your wrists by
This song might have a twist
Yeah, a song (A song) to slit (To slit) your wrists by
This song's (This song) my goodbye kiss
Yeah
Distortion, out of phase
Washes over my sour face
My life is through
I guess I owe it all to you
I said, a song (This song) to slit (To slit) your wrists by
Yeah, this song (This song) might have (Might have) a twist
A song (This song) to slit (To slit) your wrists by
This song's (This song) my good (My good) bye kiss
Oh, it's so good
This song's (This song) my good (My good) bye kiss
Uh, kiss this
Caught in the sights of a killing fire
On streets filled with ashes and smoke
Flames reaching up to a dirty sky
Like some kind of sick deadly joke
[Chorus]
Can't stop what hate started
There's no cooling down
I'm past the boiling point now
Every day my TV screen
Is pushing me to make somebody bleed
The chains 'round your neck got me wondering
How you'll ever get the freedom that you need
Can't turn this world into heaven
By burning it down to the ground
I'm on fire
I'm burning up
My temperature's rising, point of no return
Watch out or you just might burn
[Chorus]
The walls fall down like dominoes
Nobody's left to pay what's due
Too many crazy peoplе running round
Starting wars between me and you
[Chorus]
I'm on fire
I'm burning up
My tеmperature's rising, point of no return
Watch out or you just might burn
I know you thought you could read my mind
With your whiskey breath and your bloodstained eyes
But you only saw what I let you see
You never got close to knowing me
Cry, but I'll never touch you
Scream and I will lie and say I love you
Better get out, better get out
Better get outta your head
Ain't doin' you no good
Better get out, better get out
Better get outta your head
'Cause it's a bad neighborhood
Your world is like a madman's dream
It's so damn crazy, I think I'll scream
You made my pain your new religion
Like an acid bath, it's masochism
Cry, I will never touch you
Scream and if it makes you feel better
I'll write you a love letter
Better get out, better get out
Better get outta your head
Ain't doin' you no good
Better get out, better get out
Better get outta your head
'Cause it's a bad neighborhood
The king of madness lost his queen
So what?
I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on Friday, that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone-cold sober, as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
'Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that?
Oh, it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
