AM C D AM C D AM

I hurt myself today....

C D AM C D AM

I focus on the pain....

C D AM C D AM

The needle tears a hole....

C D AM C D G Try

to kill it all away....





(Chorus)- AM F C G

What have I become....

AM F C G

Every one I know....

AM F G G

And you could have it all....

AM F G AM- (Picking)

I will let you down....









I hurt myself today

to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole

the old familiar sting

try to kill it all away

but I remember everything



what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt



I wear this crown of thorns

apon my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

beneath the stains of time

the feeling disappears

you are someone else

I am still right here



what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt



I will let you down

I will make you hurt



If I could start again

a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find

a way.......................





I Got to learn this song ..its so cool. I play it and it sounds pants...lol. Still soon I'll get the hang of it.

This is done by the guy who writes/wrote for Meatloaf...I have his album Bad For Good by Jim Steinman



Well, all right,

No stars tonight

The moon must hide

Can't bear to see my face

So many moons have passed

So many suns gone down

Too much blood under the bridge

Too many worlds turned

Upside down



The skies were pure

And the fields were green

(In) the fading summer 1617

The first time I ever drew blood

She was such a beautiful

And innocent child



She never knew

My soul was cursed for good

I fought to overcome my thirst,

I thought I could

But when I kissed her lips

Then I had no control

And the furies all ran wild



And when I grasped for life

I always killed

The things for which I yearned

I wish to be a flame

And reduced to ashes

But I have never burned



I long to fly in total freedom

And yet these chains keep dragging me down

I want to be an angel

Or the devil himself

But I am nothing but a

Creature!

Longing for the things I can't have!



And the split goes through my very soul

It's a wound that never mends

Our desires are elusive

And the hunger never ends...



When the world has drawn its final breath

And extinguished all the light

There'll be nothing left

But a lifeless wasteland

And an endless appetite

Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat

And a ruthless appetite



The preacher's daughter

Let me in her room

In seventeen thirty-two

To love me was her doom

With her silken blood

I wrote a poem of love

Upon her ivory skin



And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great

In eighteen hundred thirteen

He stood at the gate

When I recall his body

I can't help but think

To consume it was a sin



So many victims washing on the shores

An ocean of pure tears

So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain,

Intoxicating fears



I used my body just like a bandage

I used their bodies just like a wound

And I'll never know where they disappeared

But I can see them rising up

Out of my memories now

Just like the demons rising up from a tomb!



And there is no way ever to apologize

To repent or make amends

No release and no redemption

The hunger never ends...



There are those who believe in science

And those who believe in art

There are those who believe

In power and wealth

Or in love and matters of the heart

There are those who believe

In various gods

In nations and knowledge

In hell and in heaven

The powers of darkness

The assumption of the light--!



But I believe

In just one god

That of endless

And insatiable

Amoral

Indestructible

And all consuming

Appetite!!!



There's a prediction that I now will make

And I'm sure I will be right

When the next millennium finally comes

The god most worshipped in this world

Will be the god of appetite
