Touchstarved

I numb myself so I can't feel
The fact nobody's feeling me
Place a wall between myself
And anything that looks to be
Good for once because I don't
Deserve to wear my lips out with a smile
But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while
I hate myself so I can't know
How anyone thinks differently
Or why they'd ever let it show
That they had some love for me
Shoving them away before
They get the chance to put me on trial
But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while
Why does it burn so hot
Why does it feel so bad
If love is what I've got
Why does it make me so mad
You want to show me your heart
But I'm too far away
We just won't connect
I can't eat these sour grapes
I threw myself away from all
The ones who tried to cling to me
An outstretched hand is just a slap
That's all that it could ever be
So before you say those cursed words
I'll leave with all I've got except my smile
But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while
But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while

When They Know My Name

When they know my name
When I'm up there on the stage and every
Spotlight's always trained on me
Maybe you'll see
You can love me like they do
Cause when they know my name
When my face is in the pages
Of all of your favorite magazines
Hopefully
You'll know that this was all for you
And I don't know what the future holds
But when it comes I hope that I'll be holding you
I know it seems kinda strange
Hearing what I've got arranged
But I know that things are gonna change
When they know my name
When they know my name
Oh it will be quite a sight as the marquee set alight with it
And I bet
You'll see it as you're passing by
Cause when they know, when they know my name
When the voice rings loud and clean through
The speakers of your TV screen
Hopefully
You'll finally look me in the eyes
Oh but I
Don't know what the future holds
But when it comes I hope that I'll be holding you
I know it seems kinda strange
Hearing what I've got arranged
But I know that things are gonna change
When they know my name

Purgatory
03:38

I kept my nose real clean
Wiped the brimstone from my jeans
Yet it seems I'm caught between
Heaven and Hell
Too little, too late
Baby, oh well
In a void devoid of love
Death below and the end above
And all that I am thinking of
Is how to get ahead
And get some rest before I'm dead, oh
Well, I'm floating on
Humming some notes but there's nobody singing along
Oh, I walk astride
The edge of glory
And oh, well I'm floating on
Caught in the grey matter that lies between right and wrong
There's nobody on your side
In Purgatory
All the ones I knew before
The bum, the addict, and the whore
All shunned me for not wearing my
Sore heart upon my sleeve
The odds they stacked up I climbed to leave
But in the end it's killing me
Because the one that I want to be
Stable with a family
Lies out of reach with lock and key
Holding them down
I guess misery favors the middle ground
Well, I'm floating on
Humming some notes but there's nobody singing along
Oh, I walk astride
The edge of glory
And oh, well I'm floating on
Caught in the grey matter that lies between right and wrong
There's nobody on your side
In Purgatory
Well, I'm floating on
Humming some notes but there's nobody singing along, yeah
I walk astride
The edge of glory
And oh, well I'm floating on
Caught in the grey matter that lies between right and wrong
There's nobody on your side
In Purgatory
In Purgatory
In Purgatory

Anyway

The anchor still weighs you down
No matter how long the chain
All that weight breaks you down
Until nothing remains
You know it ain't good for your health
To shoulder that burden all by yourself
You know it ain't good for your health
But you don't want to live anyway, oh no
Spend every day complaining how
You just can't get out of bed
If not for the fact you were breathing
You'd swear you were dead
You know it ain't good for your health
To shoulder that burden all by yourself
You know it ain't good for your health
But you don't want to live anyway
You know it ain't good for your health
To shoulder that burden all by yourself
You know it ain't good for your health
But you don't want to live
No you take never give
No you don't wanna live anyway
Oh, no

Please Let Me Go

Would you feel better if I
Went to fuck off for a minute, huh
Would it help with what I'm putting you through
Guess I'll just go and get high
Stop the bad vibes from coming on
But a threatening thought is starting to brew
Maybe you'd be better off
If you woke and found me gone
A world without my stain won't leave
You crying over me so please
Please let me go
Into the cold, dark night
Please let me go quietly
Please let me go
And please, just get me out your mind
Cause I'm never coming back when I leave
I feel like you'd cry for a while
But you'd finally feel alive again
Without my uselessness just weighing you down
Between every single voice that
I'm used to hearing inside my head
One thing agreed on is we've all got to drown
I'm so fucking sorry for
These roaring thoughts I can't ignore
I swear I'm trying not to break
But I've fucking had all I can take
Please let me go
Into the cold, dark night
Please let me go quietly
Please let me go
Please, just get me out your mind
Cause I'm never coming back when I leave
