Save yourself, 7, 5, 9, 8 I can't think straight You can't relate to me Every single thought of mine Would blow your mind Warp space and time Is it the Conspiracy or is it me That makes me feel this way Fucking insane Already ready already to blow myself away Do you know the way I get through every day If not for sounds like this I might as well not exist Save myself, 7, 5, 9, 8 I can't be late It's almost X-Day Every single moment left I'll live to death Like on Crystal Meth Is it the music in me that sets me free and lets me feel this way Totally sane Already ready already to blow this world away Do you know the way I get through every day If not for sounds like this I might as well not exist

Jesus has ordained me as a saint To rule over the United States With an Iron Fist and an Iron Will I'll reform this nation better still We'll all be Christian, we all be saved One Nation Under God... or else! I'll do what I want I don't give a fuck I'll bully the world To get what I want I'll ban all the books that I don't like I'll fire anyone who won't tow my line And I won't take shit from anyone Especially the press when they do their job I'll supress your freedom and control your thoughts Abuse my power all I want I'll do what I want I don't give a fuck I'll bully the world To get what I want Jesus has ordained me as a saint To rule over the United States So don't you fuck with me, or else you'll pay I'll reform this nation, either way If you're not with me, you're against me Between a girl and her gun I'll do what I want I don't give a fuck I'll bully the world To get what I want So look out now 'Cause here we come It's Sarah Palin's America

My radio died last night while I was playing the last great Beatles tune Remade for the 90's back in 2003 by a band that wishes it was still 1983 And the Real Van Halen toured with them so David Lee Roth could rock out loud Britney Spears played for the 16th time in 25 minutes And I don't think I can hear her song again... Dear Johnny Cash, Please come and kill my fucking radio I don't think I can hear this shit anymore Bring a gun and shoot her down, Like the man you shot in Reno town Folsom Prison Blues, please kill my radio! If I could go back and remember the days when my radio was great And the DJs played whatever the fuck they wanted to play But soon afterwards the money ran out and the station had to shut down And the hip-hip stations and the schlop-pop stations They all rolled into town They tried to blame the death of radio on video but we know it's not true It's because of corporate greed and censorship Dear Johnny Cash, Please come and kill my fucking radio I don't think I can hear this shit anymore Bring a gun and shoot her down, Like the man you shot in Reno town Folsom Prison Blues, please kill my radio! Video killed the Radio Star? Bullshit! My radio died last night of boredom The 45th time they played "Hey Ya" in a 15 minute span Every station in the tri-state area played, "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" I couldn't take it anymore... But when Tom Petty sings about this tragedy, the Heartbreakers lose their spot I guess Clear Channel pulled the plug on The Last DJ. Dear Johnny Cash, Please come and kill my fucking radio I don't think I can hear this shit anymore Bring a gun and shoot her down, Like the man you shot in Reno town Folsom Prison Blues, please kill my radio! ... Video killed the Radio Star...

Drowning 06:07
I am drowning inside you and I feel that it's a pleasant death You take away the pain You take away my sorrows As sweet death comes to all my fears I am breathing now that I've completely drown in you Your heart surrounds me and it drowns out all the things That would drag me down and carry me away from you I am drowning inside you and I wouldn't change a thing You take away the fear You take away the doubts Your loving voice comforts me today I am breathing now that I've completely drown in you Your heart surrounds me and it drowns out all the things That would drag me down and carry me away from you And I will wait here underwater, losing my life inside of you And I will stay here in your arms until this old life drifts away And I will still be here, and you will still be there To help me learn how to breathe Help me learn how to breathe again I am breathing now that I've completely drown in you Your heart surrounds me and it drowns out all the things That would drag me down and carry me away from you

If I were alive If I were real Would you survive? What would you feel? Heavy metal, heavy metal machine Heavy metal, heavy metal machine As sentimental as our broken dreams Let me die for rock and roll Let me die to save my soul Let me die let me die rock and roll Let the world forgive the past Let all the girls kiss the boys at last Let me go let me go rock and roll Heavy metal, heavy metal machine Heavy metal, a heavy metal machine We're the metal in their metal machines Heavy metal, heavy metal machine If I were dead Would my records sell? Could you even tell? Is it just as well? Heavy metal, heavy metal machine It's elemental to all the rust it brings Heavy metal, heavy metal machine Let me die for rock and roll Let me die to save my soul Let me die, let me die, rock and roll Let the world forgive the past Let all the girls kiss the boys at last Let me go, let me go, rock and roll Heavy metal, heavy metal machine Heavy metal, a heavy metal machine We're the metal in their droning schemes Heavy metal, heavy metal machine Will I survive? Is it up to me? Could you understand That it's not yours to keep? Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

Once a day is called a "habit" Twice a day is called a "vice" Thrice a day is called an "obsession" And more than that is called "addiction" So find me here within this house Somewhere between once and thrice And help me stop from going again Before I'm hooked for life Drugs are bad and I don't need them I like the way they make me feel Less alive than before I took them Less alive before I ever saw them Once a day is called a "habit" Twice a day is called a "vice" Thrice a day is called an "obsession" And more than that is called "addiction" And somehow I still have the feeling That "less alive" is a blessing "I'm not an addict" I tell myself In many ways I'm not Drugs are bad and I don't need them I like the way they make me feel I know that I shouldn't do this And I just need to stop Once a day is called a "habit" Twice a day is called a "vice" Thrice a day is called an "obsession" And more than that is called "addiction"

When there's nothing left for you than to give it all away I'd give it all, give it all for you When there's nothing left of me but a distant memory I'd still give it all, still give it all for you Your love is a light that burns sweetly in the night Like a candlelight vigil, your heart keeps on burning bright The stars in the skies, they pale in comparison The moonlit night is brighter with your heart in my eyes If there's nothing left to give but all that's left to lose I'd lose my life, lose my life for you And if I should die tonight and find myself by your side I'd still give my life, still give my life for you Your love is a light that burns sweetly in the night Like a candlelight vigil, your heart keeps on burning bright The stars in the skies, they pale in comparison The moonlit night is brighter with your heart in my eyes There is nothing and no one who compares to your love Please don't let your light go out tonight I can't bear the thought, I still need you in my life And even though you're gone, I will always love you When there's nothing left for you than to give it all away I'd give it all, give it all for you I'd still give it all, still give it all for you I'd still give it all, still give it all for you

God will take your life away God will take your life away... God will take your life away By my hand, your hell awaits Your greed has driven my demand To end your life, by my God's command The bullet leaves the chamber Splits the air in half My God has slain your soul and cut you from the chaff Judgement is my harvest Blood is my reward Justice served by vengeance best served cold From the hands of God by Man God will rape your soul today This knife will cut heart away And once I take that which is mine I will leave you unrefined This blade will cut your flesh Release the flowing blood My God will reach inside and take your very heart Judgement is my harvest Blood is my reward Justice served by vengeance best served cold From the hands of God by Man From the Hands of God by Man (God will take your life away...)

All of my life, I've heard these voice in my head From stupid people just like you People who feel it's their duty To try to tear me down Because I'll never be anything like them Every day, with every word you say You drive me closer to the point of no return If you don't stop soon You'll have a bullet wound To account for my loss of humanity It's a comforting idea, don't you think That you can use me as your whipping boy To measure how good you are By how much I am not Does it make your life easier to live? Every day, with every word you say You drive me closer to the point of no return If you don't stop soon You'll have a bullet wound To account for my loss of humanity You bring this all on yourself, don't you know? You bring this all on yourself, don't you know? Every day, with every word you say You drive me closer to the point of no return If you don't stop soon You'll have a bullet wound To account for my loss of humanity

If Silence was my best friend, who would be my ememy? If nothing's said, there's nothing left to interpretation Somehow you and I could be somewhat coexisting If only I would shut my mouth, and if you'd finally listen But nay, you can't accept what I say And all this fades away into obscurity And I'd find no peace of mind Worrying all the time that I'll just drive you away If I were anyone besides myself, I'd be a mime Just so I could be trapped inside this little box of mine Maybe you could stop by and spend some time with me Now that I can't speak and you don't have to fucking listen to me But nay, you can't accept what I say And all this fades away into obscurity And I'd find no peace of mind Worrying all the time that I'll just drive you away If Silence was my best friend, who would be my ememy? If nothing's said, there's nothing left for a simple misinterpretation.

I never wanted to lie to you So I told you everything Maybe that was my mistake I just couldn't stand being fake All I wanted was to make you smile But you didn't think I was worth your while So you cut me down in a crowd As if you never knew me So stay away I won't recognize you You're not real You're just a problem A Ghost of my own annoyance You don't deserve to be validated May my silence burn May my silence burn you May my silence burn May my silence burn you away You and me, we'd get along Only when no one else was around In the end, we fell apart Because you're a coward Sometimes I felt invisible When you were looking at me Guess it was true The only thing you ever saw was you So stay away I won't recognize you You're not real You're just a problem A Ghost of my own annoyance You don't deserve to be validated May my silence burn May my silence burn you May my silence burn May my silence burn you away (Spoken) Are my words so blantantly vague that you can't understand what I mean when I say, "I absolutlely fucking hate you"? Is your mind so full of your own hype that you can't comprehend such a direct statement? You act like my vocabulary is complicated, but a five-year-old understands what I'm saying! So, if I can just break through your cloud of ignorance for a second... Oh, wait. I'm sorry, I'll dumb that down for you. A cloud of ignorance? It's the mist that surrounds you when you're trying to think about what I'm saying It's produced when you think. Your mind overheats. It can't handle the pressure of reading between the lines. So let me make this as plain as day for you: "I REALLY HATE YOU, AND I WISH THAT YOU WOULD FUCKING DIE!!!" Do you understand what I'm telling you now? Good, because I'm sick and tired of telling you. (Sung) Stay away I won't recognize you You're not real You're just a problem A Ghost of my own annoyance You don't deserve to be validated May my silence burn May my silence burn you May my silence burn May my silence burn you away

about

Phase II:
BREAK THE CODE

Having been infected with the SaviorSelf.07.05.98 virus for close to a year, now, MAV_SKY-1.exe attempts to integrate herself among the citizens of a small town called Leavittsburg, only to find a hostile populace that wants nothing to do with her. She finds that this rejection leads her down a dark path, even contemplating a mass shooting at the school she had been attending, only to decide against it. She instead decides to leave Leavittsburg behind in pursuit of the one field that has fascinated her ever since she was first infected....
