Funker Voft - Friendly Fire

Within a few seconds, their jets came over the hill.
Strafing the soldiers, raining fire on their people.
An unintended sacrifice, of their own lives.
The soldiers at the front, killed by their own nation.

They all died in friendly fire.
And the flames are rising higher.
They are here to hold the ground.
To defend what they have found.

A casualty list in the news, will be a helpful tool.
Creating fear and hatred, supporters of a war.
A necessary means to an end, killing their own soldiers.
Publicity for a new war, to get all the voters.

Apathy

Andrew Largeman: [about to swallow a tab of ecstasy] I guess I'll see you guys later.

---

Andrew Largeman: We're not playing Spin the Bottle; how old are we? More importantly, how old are they?

Jesse Oh, they're all legal. I think...

---

Carol: Oh... guys? Don't stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector; it was beeping all night.

---

Andrew Largeman: You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for one reason or another. And she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls rolling around. And there was like snot running down my nose. And she offered me her sleeve and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself, this is love... this is love.

---

Andrew Largeman: It looks nice in here.

Gideon Largeman: Yeah, we've been doing some work to the place.

Andrew Largeman: Really?

Gideon Largeman: No, I don't know why I just said that.

Marla Singer: I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar.

Narrator: It was worth every penny.

Marla Singer: It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, and then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree. So special. Then, bam, it's on the side of the road.

[Grabs Narrator's crotch]

Marla Singer: Tinsel still clinging to it. Like a sex crime victim. Underwear inside out. Bound with electrical tape.

Narrator: Well, then it suits you.

Marla Singer: You can borrow it sometime.

---

Narrator: Marla's philosophy of life is that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't.

You killed yourself

You killed yourself and didn't think of me.
I can't blame you for that, and yet I do,
For now your pain becomes my legacy.
What agony impelled you not to be?
I loved you-wasn't that enough for you?
You killed yourself and didn't think of me,
Nor saw through my eyes what you made me see,
Nor cared about my life when yours was through.
And now your pain becomes my legacy,
And I must fight to keep my sanity,
For what you did defines what must be true:
You killed yourself and didn't think of me.
I cannot think you did it selfishly;
So great a sacrifice leaves nothing due.
But now your pain becomes my legacy,
And I must sail across that bitter sea
That leaves no trace of joy or residue.
You killed yourself and didn't think of me,
So now your pain becomes my legacy.

Front 242 - Crushed (Obscene)

This heavy heart
Heart that I carry
Still holds the weight of you
And when I fall
As I always do
I'm crushed by the absence of you

Perfection is there
And the expression a stare
A face that leaves no trace of wear and tear
True beauty is cold

Love and hate and human sexual nature
This power is sustained by endless violence and pain
A cycle I can't understand

I'm tired of emotions
They bare me with distortions
They cut me
Screaming "Fuck me"
Wipe them all away now
Let them see through eyes made of stone

This heavy heart
Heart that I carry
Still holds the weight of you
And when I fall
As I always do
I'm crushed by the abscence of you

One look at you
Is everything to me

And when I can
Feel you around me
I'm crushed by the presence
of you.

CRUSHED

Remember when you ran away

And I got on my knees

And begged you not to leave

Because I'd go beserk

For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds

I´ve finally made them think

I´m perfectly sane

BUT...

They´re coming to get me again, haha

They´re coming to take me away again, hee hee, ho ho

To the looney bin

Where life was ludicrous all the time

And I´m just crazy about

Those big strong goons

With their clean white necks

´Cause they´re coming to get me again, HA-HAAA!

I thought you were my friend

And so I trusted you

Believed in you

The day you swore you´d always be my pet

BUT...

I trusted you, you know I did

I did, I really did

But then you hit

And I´m not really totally cured

SO...

They´re coming to get me again, haha

They´re coming to put me away again, hoo hoo, hey hey

In a rubber room

With fleas and cowards and burping nerds

And pimple poppers who sweat and snear

And squiggle and speeze and squirt

And they´re coming to get me again, HA-HAAA!

I scrubbed your toes

I cleaned your cage

But all you ever did was pay me back

With cruel unloving selfish deeds

YES...

Well now I´m free

So just wait

I´ll find you soon

And when I do I'll swing you by your tail you hairy ape!

AND...

They´re coming to get me again, haha

They´re coming to take me away again, hee hee, ho ho

To the looney bin

Where life was ludicrous all the time

And I´m just crazy about

Those big strong goons

And I´ll be ha-a-appy...

OH, NO!

Mind.In.A.Box - Change

 

and I will never see the truth,
this is not a matter of my youth.
I do not need anybody else,
bonds would put my mind into cells.

and I will never know I was wrong,
never listen to those truly strong.
I do not fear anything that's not me,
ignorance is the ultimate key.

but I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
but change myself? never, never!
the very thought sends shivers down my spine.
I'm sure everything, everything will be fine.

I am the one who cries out at night,
for somebody to change my very core.
not sure why I live in endless fright,
doomed to love only myself forevermore.

I am the one who has no real friends,
shallow people flocking to my banner.
always trying to make easy amends,
cherishing my own overbearing manner.

life - always fragile.
I will never change.
love - always fleeting.
I will never change.

life - always fragile.
I will never change.
love - always fleeting.
I will never change.

but I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
maybe I really was too clever.
but I wouldn't want to end like that.
I would die lonely and incredibly sad.

I will never drag myself out of this,
the shadows of my past bogging me down.
feeling lost in turmoil and crisis,
my face forever set in an endless frown.

I have been hurt beyond mental repair,
thence destined to suffer eternal damnation.
no one can be there for me to care,
but without I will never find salvation.

lust - always empty.
but I will never change.
death - always tempting.
but I will never change.

lust - always empty.
but I will never change.
death - always tempting.
but I will never change.

everything is about control.
I must never slip, nor ever fall.
anything is possible for me.
I must never doubt, and finally be free.

and finally be free.

Funker Vogt - Compulsions

 

The dreams still come and go
Lying wounded on a beach
With shrapnel in my leg
My only weapon is a knife

And there is this golden fluid
A bag full of tiny bottles
Its a promise for relief
The key for my survival

So I feel, yes I feel the need
To lock myself up in a room
Squirt some morphine into my veins
To leave this cruel world for a while

And when I close my eyes
I find myself somewhere else
In a world built on illusions
Where compulsions are expelled

Out of a need I had to use it
Although I never thought I would
And before I was aware
This need was present every day

A golden mirror for my soul
Will be injected through a syringe
Slowly creeping up my vein
To hit the center of myself
