So you want to kill me? 
But save more of my kind.
Or you want to own me?
And pretend that it was a fair fight.

You can only feel the power
When I’m down and showered in blood
Tell me what gives you desire, to point your gun and fire a weapon? 

I own the grounds that you’re snaking around.

Hunt me down, I could tear you up with just my angry mouth. 
Don’t that prove, I guess I am just a bit stronger than you.
I suppose you want to feel strength too,
I guess that’s why you do what you do.

So you want to chain me? 
So you can show me to the world? 
I know I can’t blame you
Unlike you, I know my own worth. 

You can only feel the power
When I’m down, and showered in blood.
Tell me what gives you desire, to point your gun and fire a weapon? 

I own the grounds that you’re snaking around.

Hunt me down, I could tear you up with just my angry mouth. 
Don’t that prove, I guess I am just a bit stronger than you.
I suppose you want to feel strength too,
I guess that’s why you do what you do.

My elusive love,
I feel far from you
Write me, call me
I am your moon

My parents love you
They love you
They love me
When I love you

My head cracks
My chest aches
Tricks of the mind
I will serve my punishment
To be with you

You are the pinnacle
You are my sky

My body is yours
I will be with you
When I die

----------------------------------

Mi amor escurridizo,
Me siento tan lejos de ti
Escribeme, llamame
Soy tu luna

Mis padres te aman
Ellos te aman
Ellos me aman
Cuando yo te amo

Mi cabeza se raja
Me duele el pecho
Trucos de la menta
Serviré mi castigo
Para estar contigo

Eres el pináculo
Eres mi cielo

Mi cuerpo es tuyo
Estaré contigo
Cuando muera

I laugh to ease my pain
A dose of good humor for the demons that stay
I laugh to just to stay sane
Truth swallowed easier when sweetened this way

But I know
For some people my laughter’s a ghost
Mocking their traumas from long long ago
Uh oh


Wipe that smile off my face
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
oh, what a sicko

Rape, religion, or race
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
Or you’ll be an asshole

I laugh just to laugh along
It’s easier than calling you out when you’re wrong
Two’s an act but three a throng
And laughter spreads like fire not after long

Wipe that smile off my face
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
oh, what a sicko

Rape, religion, or race
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
Or you’ll be an asshole

“It’s just a joke” you tend say
“How could our morals wear away”
But is your joke really irony
Or a disguise to give your crime a getaway

Wipe that smile off my face
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
oh, what a sicko

Rape, religion, or race
Don’t laugh about it
Don’t laugh about it
Or you’ll be an asshole
