Songs that remind you of Columbine.

I don't know why but the song seems so fitting.

killing in the name - Rage against the machine

Even though they hated rap music, two songs that always remind me of E&D are "Yonkers" and "Radicals" by Tyler the Creator.

Particulars from Yonkers:
"I'm a fuckin' walkin' paradox -- no I'm not."

"Shut the fuck up, here's the number to my therapist
You can tell him all your problems, he's fuckin' awesome a listening."

"Jesus called, he said he's sick of the disses
I told him to quit bitchin', this ain't a fuckin' hotline."

"(Fuck everything, man) That's what my conscience said
Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience is dead
Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement
Actions speak louder than words, let me try this shit -- dead"

It reminds me of the workings of their minds for some reason.

And, the more obvious "Radicals:"

"Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.

I'm fuckin' radical, I'm motherfuckin' radical
I'm fuckin' radical, I'm motherfuckin' radical."

Tyler the Creator also made a Tweet saying something to the effect of "R.I.P. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold" and said in an interview that he would have liked to have known them. Probably all for shock value, though.

This song is also very fitting.

It's weird that Dylan was quoting Tupac in his journal. Tyler respects E&D and wrote "Pigs" about them on 4/20/13 (Last year's anniversary). I think it's more genuine than shock value, though.

The Invisible Man by 98 Degrees reminds me of Dylan.

An artist called Bones did a whole album based on the Columbine massacre. It's hard to understand his views on the event, though. The album states that it's written from three points of views (that of the victims, perpetrators, and their parents). It's really goddamn dark.

Here's a stream of the album, if anyone's interested. It's not really my cup of tea.

Thank you for this. I've never heard this before this Bones has got a couple of good songs.

"Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube

lyrics:

Quote :

[Dr. Dre]
Journey with me
Into the mind of a maniac
Doomed to be a killer
Since I came out the nutsac
I'm in a murderous mindstate
With a heart full of terror
I see the devil in the mirror
Buck buck, lights out
'Cause when I grab my sawed-off
Niggaz get hauled off
Barrel one
Touches your motherfuckin' flesh
Barrel two
Tears your fuckin' heart out your chest
You see I'm quick to let the hammer go click
On my Tech-9 so if you try to wreck mine
Fool it's your bed time
Feel the blast from the chocolate bomber
Infrared aimed at your head
Like your name was Sarah Conner
Decapitatin' I aint hesitatin'
To put you in the funeral home
With a bullet in your dome
I'm hot like lava
You got a problem?
I got a problem solver
And his name is revolver
It's like a deadly game of freeze tag
I touch you with a .44 mag
And you're frozen inside a body bag
Nobody iller
Than this grave yard filler
Cap peeler
Cause I'm a natural born killa

[Ice Cube]
Terror illustrates my era
Now I can't hang around my momma
Cause I scare her
I want to blast motherfuckers up
It feels like I'm bustin' a nut
When I open you up
Cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
All you weak motherfuckers give my ring a kiss
Cause I'm givin dirt naps
Comin' with them bomb ass raps
To make your lungs collapse perhaps
You never sleep
Cause evertime you doze
You catch blows to the motherfuckin' nose
Ain't seen the sun, in 66 days
Let me count the ways in a fucked up maze
I never ever ever made a ho stay
But I'm down with Dre
Like AC is down with OJ
So fuck how your livin'
I'm the unforgivin'
Psycho driven
Murdera
It's authentic
Don't panic
I can't stand it
God damn it
Scizophrenic
So fuck Charlie Manson
I'll snatch him out his truck
Hit 'em with a brick
And I'm dancin

[RBX]
Mass Murderer, Natural Born Killla,
And I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna
I don't wanna die!

[Ice Cube]
I don't understand the logic in my dreams
But I understand I like the sounds of sireens
Terrified screams from the streams of Strychnine
Dumpin' on any motherfucker tryin' to trick mine
Cause punk motherfuckers wanna violate
Now they stiff and cold
And they pupils won't dilate
Its so much pain
Migraine
Headache
I can hear his bones break
He steps in the single door
Got his ass whipped with 20 lashes
Like that dude up in Singapore
So I'm'a pull a fuckin' Jeffrey Dahmer
Now I'm suicidal, just like Nirvana

[Dr. Dre]
Tic Toc
Toc Tic Toc Tic
Dr. Dre and Ice Cube on some murderin' shit
Keepin' niggaz in order
Makin' their lives shorter
Ready to slaughter
Cause to me a life aint worth a quarter or a dime
Mushroom's got my mind
Hallicinatin
Ain't no debatin'
I'm creatin' an escape
Route to be out without a doubt
Scott Free, so don't even think about tryin' to stop me
Cause I cant wait
I'm out the gate
On the for realla
A thrilla
Or a natural born killa

[Ice Cube]
Gi-Gi Gi-Gi Gaga
They call me da-da
6 million ways to murder
Choose one
Lose one soul
Bodies turn cold
Natural fright from niggaz goin' bump in the night...

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

"America's Suitehearts" by Fall Out Boy, because it's about people who get famous and have people looking up to or crushing on them for things that really shouldn't be admired.

Also, "Sugar, We're Goin Down." Crazy at first but after I read this it made sense:

a tumblr user wrote:

“Am I more than you bargained for yet? I’ve been dying to tell you anything you wanna hear, ‘cause that’s just who I am this week.” - Eric’s POV. Everyone saw him as a relatively normal, nice kid (that’s “who [he was] that week”); maybe not to the same extent as Dylan, but still, a shooting never could have been predicted - it was more than anyone bargained for.
“Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum; I’m just a notch in your bedpost, but you’re just a line in a song.” - Both boys. They were comfortable with their own deaths. They were just a part of the surroundings at school nobody noticed much (like a nick in furniture), but school and the bullying that occured there was so significant to them they wrote pages of journals about how it shaped them - and eventually did much worse.
“Drop a heart, break a name; we’re always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team.” - It’s usually “drop a name”and “break a heart.” The shooting caused such a stir that at first there were a lot of bogus stories going around, like the “she said yes” story; this line relates to the twisting of stories and words. Also refers to the heartbreak and tarnished reputations caused by the shooting - Klebold’s and Harris’s families became pariahs. Ignore the homoerotic connotations of the second part - it simply relates to the fact Klebold and Harris were “weirdos” and bullied a lot, or at the very least not on the “right teams,” i.e. they weren’t athletes or otherwise popular.
“We’re going down, down in an earlier round, and sugar, we’re goin’ down swingin’.” - They died young (in an earlier round), but they died fighting to make their mark on the world, no matter how it affected other people; to “go down swinging” is a colloquialism meaning to fight for something which is either futile or a bad idea.
“I’ll be your number one with a bullet. A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it!” - Klebold and Harris made a top news story of the year using bullets; closer to the original meaning of the lyric, a bullet used to be used on Billboard charts to denote a song had risen fast in popularity, as they did in infamy. Harris, at least, has been said to have had narcissistic tendencies, and both the boys made references to being “Godlike.” As for “cock it and pull it,” the shooting made them feel like powerful gods.
“Is this more than you bargained for yet? Oh, don’t mind me, I’m watching you two from the closet, wishing to ve the friction in your jeans. Isn’t it messed up, how I’m just dying to be him?” - Dylan’s POV, self-explanatory - everyone saw him as a normal, nice kid when he was wrestling with so much, including obsessive fantasies about finding love. He acknowledged his sexual appetites were “messed up” and even apologized for them in his journal.
“Take aim at myself, take back what you said.” - Both boys’ POV. After their attack and suicides, nobody saw them simply as creepy loners anymore.

I had to edit this post to remove the tumblr url.

what makes this strange is that 'another notch in your bedpost' refers to someone they've slept with - people put a notch on their bedpost for each person.
I'm not sure i quite agree with this interpretation, though - i remember liking this band a lot back when I was in fifth grade, so this is... a weird spin to put on it. My interpretations are pretty abstract too, though, so I'm not criticising you at all!

Oh, I can imagine. I think that song and Pete Wentz's work in general lends itself easily to interpretation. I used to think "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was about a girl falling in love with a gay guy!  

Might be kind of silly, but Stewie's "hitlist" song from Family Guy about the people he wants to kill kind of reminds me of Eric's furious rants towards things and people he found stupid and death-worthy for the most ridiculous, insignificant things.

"Shy" by Sonata Arctica makes me think of Dylan



I can see how you are beautiful
Can you feel my eyes on you
I'm shy and turn my head away

Working late in diner Citylite
I see that you get home alright
Make sure that you can't see me
Hoping you will see me

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
(Can you?)

I see you in Citylite diner
Serving all those meals and then
I see reflection of me in your eye
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see

Obsessed by you, your looks
Well, anyway, "I would any day die for you"
I write on paper and erased away

Still I sit in diner Citylite
Drinking coffee and reading lies
Turn my head and I can see you
Could that really be you?

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?

I see your beautiful smile
And I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you see

I see, can't have you, can't leave you there
'Cause I must sometimes see you
But I don't understand how you can keep me in chains

And every waken hour
I feel you taking power from me and I can't leave
Repeating the scenery over again

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?

I see your beautiful smile
And I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you see, oh, baby

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you, I'm shy, can't you
I'm shy, can't you see

I know I mentioned it before but Julia Brown's "Library" reminds me of Columbine. I just thought I'd post the lyrics:

I was in the library
I heard your name in my ear
My friends blame ghosts
When I went outside
The sky was turning black

I saw you in the library
Even though you're two states away
My friends blame ghosts
When I went outside
It was just beginning to rain
Driving home I wondered
When you go to sleep do you dream of me?

Evanescence - Understanding

Quote :

(You hold the answer)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts

My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth
My final time

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me

Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
(I'll die for you)

Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know
I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

I've tried so hard
(I have tried super hard)
Tried to be without you for so many years
No, no, no
And I have cried
(So many words I have saved for someone, for sometime)
I love you, I love you, and I want you to stay

Maybe not because of lyric but I've first heard this song when I've watched this video tribute to Eric and Dylan.

"The Good Die Young" By 2Pac and The Outlaws
This songs is about all the kids and teenagers that ever died young, like Columbine.
It also mentions Columbine at the end actually, gets me every time when I hear that line.
Also its been 18 years today since 2Pac died, time flies...

Great list, I agree with many. Add '45' by Shinedown and it would be perfect.

An odd addition to this list since it's country, but "Letter to Me" by Brad Paisley, especially for Dylan:

Brad Paisley wrote:

Oh, you've got so much going for you, going right
But I know, at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night.

And this very touching song by Sleeping At Last, "In The Embers." I first heard it on TCM Remembers 2013. I could type the lyrics but what makes it so touching is the way it's performed: a sad, lone, earnest voice with a single piano accompanying it

Not a song most if any of you would have heard before, it was not made for mass release you will see why if/when you watch it. I Love my dark ambient though and every time i listen to this i vision going back in time to spectate the events that unfolded that day. Its not directed at anyone in particular, more or less everyone who was involved, and the event itself which to me reflects the darkness and unsettling sounds of this song. Hope you enjoy

P.S good to see this forum back.

Haha this is actually not bad. But I doubt Eric would like having a rap song about himself out there

'xxxxxxx' by Teen Suicide.

when am i coming to your school
you know that i should see you soon
before something takes me out of here
or before he takes you away again

(i woke up in the library and someone was whispering
your name directly into my ear i looked around but
i couldn't find them and when i went outside the sun
was out but soon the sky turned black and it started
to rain; my friends blame ghosts for everything)

I was just listening to "Je ne regrette rien," sung by the immortal French singer Edith Piaf, and thought about Dylan and Eric, more so after reading the English translated lyrics, the last stanza specifically reminded me of something Dylan would say to his "true love."

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
It's been payed for,
swept (away),
Forgotten.
I don't care about the past!

With my memories
I have lit the fire!
My disappointments, my pleasures,
I no longer need them.
Swept away are the loves
with their trembling,
swept away forever!
I start again at zero.

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Neither the good that's been done to me,
Nor the bad;
It's all the same to me!

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Because my life,
because my joy,
today
begins with you!

Novocaine by Fall Out Boy, especially the line "And don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun"



This is a black, black ski mask song
So put all of your anger on
In the truly gruesome do we trust
I will always land on you like a sucker punch

Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare

If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
Now I’m just numb
And don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
Now I’m just numb
I don’t feel a thing for you

I’m just a problem that doesn’t want to be solved
So could you please hold your applause
Take this sideshow and all its freaks
And turn it into the silver screen dream

Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare

If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
Now I’m just numb
And don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
Now I’m just numb
I don’t feel a thing for you

I said one day the valley's gonna swallow me whole
(Hijack the hype! Hijack the hype!)
and I feel like a photo that’s been over-exposed
(Hijack the hype! Hijack the hype!)

They took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
Now I’m just numb
And don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
Now I’m just numb
I don’t feel a thing for you

Pumped up Kicks
numb
behind blue eyes
how to save a life

For some reason, Smells like Teen Spirit always reminds me of Dylan Klebold.

Load up on guns; bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word...

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

It reminds me of his "you know what I hate" rant.

Mineral was a indie/emo band that existed 1994-1997. Their songs are very intense/brooding/introspective and deal with things like depression/anxiety/loneliness so naturally, for me, Dylan comes to mind when I listen to them. I like to think if he had heard Mineral and similar bands he might not have felt so alone in the world. The group's singer/songwriter was actually born in Colorado and one of the bands they toured with a bunch from Denver had members that went to Columbine in the early '90s so I have that connection in my head. Haha, I don't know.

In particular, lyrics to the song "If I Could" remind me of something straight out of Dylan's journal. It's basically about pining over a girl but being just painfully shy and feeling inadequate.

Quote :

She stepped outside into the morning air
To watch the cars go by and let the sun dry her hair
I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was
But I just stared

I sat behind the wheel and watched the raindrops
As they gathered on the windshield
And raced down into the humming motor
And she folded up her fears like paper airplanes
And lost them in the trees

And I know I don't deserve this
The capacity to feel
To laugh and cry and to praise
For that I live and breathe and wake each day
Is nothing less than your grace
In awkward and glorious movement

How can I pretend that I don't see,
What you hide so carelesslly,
I saw her bleed,
And you heard me breathe,
And I froze inside myself,
And turned away,
I must be dreaming

We all live, we all die,
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems,
Not what you think,
No, I must be dreaming,
It's only in my mind,
Not real life,
No, I must be dreaming

Help you know I've got to tell someone,
Tell them what I know you've done,
I fear you, but spoken fears can come true

We all live, we all die,
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems,
Not what you think,
No I must be dreaming,
It's only in my mind,
Not real life,
No I must be dreaming

We all live,
We all die,
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems,
Not what you think,
No I must be dreaming,

No I must be dreaming

Not what it seems,
Not what you think,
I must be dreaming,
Just in my mind,
Not real life,
I must be dreaming.

Evanescence -Bleed (I must be dreaming )

For me it is definately:
Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm
NIN- Something I can never have
NIN-Hurt
NIN- Everyday is exactly the same
Marilyn Manson- The Nobodies & Disposable Teens( Mainly Eric )
Flyleaf- Cassie & In the dark (I always think about Dylan when I listen to this one )

Um. all the songs they mention in their Journals. They've ruined Rammstein for me.

Statler Brothers - Flowers on the Wall

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life

Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what its like
What its like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
What its like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life



Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life

Take a breath,
Take it deep.
'Calm yourself', He says to me
If you play, you play for keeps.
Take the gun and count to three.
Im sweating now,
Moving slow,
No time to think. My turn to go

[Hook]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger

[Verse 2]
Say a prayer to yourself
He says 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps'
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here - means he's never lost

[Hook]
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull my trigger

[Bridge]
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say good-bye
But its too late to think of the value of my life

[Hook]
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.
You can see my heart beating.
Oh, You can see it through my chest.
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.

So, just pull the trigger

[sound of taking a breath]
[sound of pulling the trigger. Gun shot]

Rihanna -"Russian Roulette"

I just heard "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne while at the gym today, and thought of Columbine and E/D. lol

"Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel. It makes me think of how Eric and Dylan wondered what the afterlife would be like.



There is also a really good cover of this by Owl City.

Disarm like many of you but the song Bad Company by Bad Company reminds me of them but Eric especially.
Here's some of the lyrics...

Company, always on the run
Destiny is the rising sun
Oh, I was born 6-gun in my hand
Behind the gun I'll make my final stand
That's why they call me

Bad company
And I can't deny
Bad company
'Til the day I die
Oh, 'til the day I die
'Til the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the Son
Now these towns, they all know our name
6-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say

"Well, on the day I was born,
God was sick.

They all know that I’m alive,
that I’m vicious; and they don’t know
the December that follows from that January.
Well, on the day I was born,
God was sick.

There is an empty place
in my metaphysical shape
that no one can reach:
a cloister of silence
that spoke with the fire of its voice muffled.

On the day I was born,
God was sick.

Brother, listen to me, Listen . . .
oh, all right. Don’t worry, I won’t leave
without taking my Decembers along,
without leaving my Januaries behind.
Well, on the day I was born,
God was sick.

They all know that I’m alive,
that I chew my food . . . and they don’t know
why harsh winds whistle in my poems,
the narrow uneasiness of a coffin,
winds untangled from the Sphinx
who holds the desert for routine questioning.

Yes, they all know . . . Well, they don’t know
that the light gets skinny
and the darkness gets bloated . . .
And they don’t know that the Mystery joins things together . . .
that he is the hunchback
musical and sad who stands a little way off and foretells
the dazzling progression from the limits to the Limits.

On the day I was born,
God was sick,
gravely."

- César Vallejo

Johnny Cash, Hurt.

Killing Strangers Marilyn Manson
This world doesn't need no opera
We're here for the operation
We don't need a bigger knife (a bigger knife)
Cause we got guns, we got guns, we got guns (we got guns)
We got guns, you better run
(you better run, you better run, you better run)

We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love
We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love

We pack demolition, we can't pack emotion
Dynamite? We just might...
So blow us a kiss, blow us a kiss
Blow us a kiss, we'll blow you to pieces

We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love
We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love

We got guns, we got guns
Mother fuckers better, better, better run
We got guns, we got guns
Mother fuckers better run


We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love
We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love

You better run
Cause we got guns! Cause we got guns! We got guns!

Tons of songs most of you have already listed..

But there are 2 that stick with me by Danzig : How The Gods Kill, and Tired Of Being Alive.
The titles obviously and also the lyrics. Plus they've been my favorite band for years.

Don't care
If 'n' you die
Ain't got no reason to cry
Don't feel
Don't need to
Your world ain't nothing to me
I'm fear
I'm your heretic
I'm doom waiting for the number
7 up 7
To the 6 on 6
Bring it on to me

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

No regrets
To bring me no tears
Never scared of things men fear
Never easy
Never clean
To be a beast among human sheep
I am fear
I am your heretic
I am your doom
Waiting for the number
7 on 7
To the 6 on 6
Bring it on to me

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

Oh yea, oh yea
I'm tired
Tired of their bleeding
Oh yea, oh yea
