01. Scream

Seeds in my head
Visions in red
All that I dreamed
And all that I've bled
My mind is a gun
I won't be outdone
Say what you want
While I shoot for the sun

All you doubters and haters, actors, and fakers
I don't have time for you, whoa
You're feeding the fire that's taking me higher
Coming like a cannonball

Oh, it's kicking down your door
Kicking down your door
Oh, so what you waiting for
What you waiting for
Scream
Scream
Scream
Till they hear your scream

Step out of the haze
Sleep walkers awake
The pills that they give
You don't have to take
Don't want to see light
They cover our eyes
Yesterday's dead
Tomorrow's alive

All you movers and shakers
Freaks and hell raisers
We're climbing over your walls
You're feeding the fire that's taking us higher
Coming like a cannonball

Oh, it's kicking down your door
Kicking down your door
So what you waiting for
What you waiting for
Scream
Scream
Scream
Till they hear your scream
Scream
Scream
Till they hear your scream

Oh, it's kicking down your door
Kicking down your door
So what you waiting for
What you waiting for
Scream
Scream
Scream
Till they hear your scream
Scream
Scream
Till they hear your scream

02. I Am The Fire

Am I brave enough?
Am I strong enough?
To follow the desire
That burns from within
To push away my fear
To stand where I'm afraid
I am through with this
Cuz I am more than this
I promise to myself
Alone and no one else
My flame is rising higher

I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire

I've been sacrificed
My Hearts been cauterized
Hanging on to hope
Shackled by the ghost
Of what I once believed
That I could never be
What's right in front of me?

I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waiting for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire

I don't believe I'll fall from grace
Won't let the past decide my fate
Leave forgiveness in my wake
Take the love that I've embraced

I promise to myself, me and no one else
I am more than this
I am the fire...

I am the fire
I am burning brighter
Roaring like a storm
And I am the one I've been waited for
Screaming like a siren
Alive and burning brighter
I am the fire
I am the fire

03. Sick Individual

Well you think that you know what I am but you don't
'Cause I say what you can't and I do what you won't
I like it loud really proud like a crown upon my head
I'll always be this way till the day that I'm dead

'Cause I'm a sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want, want, want
I'm unusual
Ain't taking no shit, gonna drink this sip till I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
Sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want

Would you like to know what I do if I got you alone
Would I sigh would I beg would I see what I know
I don't talk the talk cause I walk the walk and I shake it for you just like this
Singing la da da da la da da da singing kiss I need a list

'Cause I'm a sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want, want, want
I'm unusual
Ain't taking no shit, gonna drink this sip till I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
Sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want

So come a little bit closer, baby
'Cause I'm wanting you
So what are you gonna do
Come a little bit closer, honey
Gonna have my way with you!

You!

'Cause I'm a sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want, want, want
I'm unusual
Ain't taking no shit, gonna drink this sip till I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
Sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want. Want. Want

I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
I'm livin' it up, not giving a what
Sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want

04. Amen

A fire's gotta burn
The world is gonna turn
A rain has gotta fall
Fate is gonna call
But I just keep on breathing
Long as my heart is beating

Someone's gotta hate
It's never gonna change
Gets harder everyday
This is one hell of a place
Keep your heart from freezing
To keep yourself believing

But I won't run
I'm not afraid
I'll look em in the eye
Gonna hear me say
It's...

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My god it ain't no sin
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My god, I'll say it again
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

Life has gotta kill
Faith is gonna blind
Hope is gonna fade
The truth is gonna lie
Sometimes there's no reason
To justify the meaning

But I won't run
I'm not ashamed
It's gonna take more than this for me to break

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My god it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My god, I'll say it again
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?

My life, my love, my sex, my drug
My lust...

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My god it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My god, I'll say it again
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?

05. Dear Daughter

Dear daughter
Hold your head up high
There's a world outside that's passing by
Dear daughter
Never lose yourself
Remember that you're like nobody else

Life froze you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone

These are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all year after year
Stand or fall I will be right here for you

Dear daughter
Don't worry about those stupid girls
If they try to bring you down
It's 'cause they're scared and insecure
Dear daughter
Don't change for any man
Even if he promises the stars
And takes you by the hand

Life throws you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone

These are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all year after year
Stand or fall I will be right here for you

Dear daughter
I was just like you
And just like me you're gonna make it through

These are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all year after year
Stand or fall I will be right here
And after all I will be be right here for you

06. New Modern Love

I've got a forbidden love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up

I won't pretend that I don't feel
The way I feel
I can't forget the taste of something that's real
Step into my closet and maybe you'll find
Something that'll scare you
Something that you like
Your old familiar logic is poison on your lips
It's nothing in the water
That's just the way it is

I've got a forbidden love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I've got an uncommon love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I don't care if you don't want it
'Cause I, I got it
I don't care if you don't get it
'Cause I, I still want it
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

You can't rewire these circuits any other way
Yeah, you can twist the signal
The message is the same
Step out of your bubble and
Maybe you will find
Something that'll save you
Something that you like
Your old familiar logic is poison on your lips
There's nothing in the water
That's just the way it is

Step into my closet and maybe you will find
Something that'll scare you
Something that you like
There's something that you like
There's something that you like

I don't care if you don't want it
'Cause I, I got it
I don't care if you don't get it
'Cause I, I still want it
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

Not giving it up
Not giving it up, no
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

07. Mayhem

I'm so bored with
This world that spins around me
Used to make me dizzy
And I'm so tired of
These boys that hang around me
Used to drive me crazy

A little Mayhem never hurt anyone
When am I gonna get some
A little bedlam 'til I'm coming undone
Where am I gonna get some
A little Mayhem never hurt anyone
How am I gonna get some, get some, get some
A little bedlam 'til I'm coming undone
How am I gonna get some, get some, get some, oh

Moving tensions
Want me in a spiral
I'm waiting to unravel
Twisted motives
Drive me in a circle
I'm dying to untangle

A little Mayhem never hurt anyone
When am I gonna get some
A little bedlam 'til I'm coming undone
Where am I gonna get some
A little Mayhem never hurt anyone
How am I gonna get some, get some, get some
A little bedlam 'til I'm coming undone
How am I gonna get some, get some, get some, oh, oh, oh

I wanna feel the rave house
I wanna hear the uproar
A little pandemonium
I know I'm not the only one
I wanna be thrown away
I wanna feel the walls shake
I wanna feel the walls shake
I wanna feel the walls shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin'
1, 2, 3, 4, oh

Looking for some Mayhem
Need a little Mayhem
Need a little Mayhem
Looking for some Mayhem
Looking for some Mayhem, yeah, yeah
Need a little Mayhem
Want to hear some Mayhem, yeah

08. Bad Girls World

They all say I've lost my mind
But I'm just tryin' to find a better way
Cause somewhere in this sea of fools
The real truth is they're scared because your brave

You'll be OK if you be yourself for no one else
They'll hate you cause you're beautiful
So blaze the trail that no one can
Cause they'll never understand
That we live in a bad girls world, bad girls' world, bad girls
We runnin' a bad girls world, bad girls' world, bad girls world, bad girls

All you rebel babies
And you pretty thing with the dirty mouth
Tell 'em times are changing
And we will never back down
This is our house now

If you be yourself for no one else
They'll hate you cause you're beautiful
So blaze the trail that no one can
Cause they'll never understand
That we live in a bad girls world, bad girls' world, bad girls
We runnin' a bad girls world, bad girls' world, bad girls world, bad girls

09. Gonna Get Mine

Naked pictures on my telephone
All my secrets that you weren't supposed to know
But I sleep just fine every single night
Cause I got a film tape that you will never find

And everybody wants to know what I got going on below
And everybody wants to see, but then they're fucking all of me
Na na na na na, I get what I want and I'm gonna get mine
Imma get mine...

Uninvited to my fantasy
So get the fuck out of my legacy
I'm pleadin' guilty
And my fate's been sentenced
And if had to do it all over again
I'd do it, do it, do it again

Na na na na na
I get what I want and I'm gonna get mine
Na na na na na
Yeah yeah I'm doing just fine
Imma get mine, Imma get mine, Imma get

And everybody wants to know what I got going on below
And everybody wants to see, but then they're fucking all of me
Na na na na na, I get what I want and I'm gonna get mine

10. The Reckoning

Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me lies
Why did you
Watch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved to
Everybody takes, everybody breaks somebody's heart leaving some on their own
But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone
You made a mess out of me
Where do I begin?
You paid for your sins

Like a reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

The reckoning

I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it
Laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
Leaving me to skin and bone
But trusting you was no one's fault but my own
You get what you give
So take your last breath
Before I lay you to rest

Like a reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

I should have known better than that
I should have known all along
I should have known better than that
I should have known
But now I'm moving on

Like a reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

The reckoning
You never saw coming
You never saw me coming
The reckoning
I'm the reaper outside your door
I am the reckoning
You're every wrong you ever did to me
I am the reckoning

11. Apocalyptic

I wear my nine-inch heels when we go to bed
I paint the color of my lips blood red
I get so animal like never before
So then you press play and I hit record

'Cause we're dysfunctional physical
Always slamming doors
You're a bitch, throwing fits
Always waging wars
Me and you, sad but true
We're not us anymore
But there's still one thing we're good for

I'll give you one last night
So make it twisted
Give you one last shot, go on and hit it
Give you one last time to make me miss it
Baby, love me apocalyptic
Come on!

Give me a red hand print right across my ass
I'm leaving scratches up and down your back
Throw me against the wall, bite me on my neck
Like end of the world, break-up sex

'Cause we're dysfunctional physical
Always slamming doors
You're a bitch, throwing fits
Always waging wars
Me and you, sad but true
We're not us anymore
But there's still one thing we're good for

I'll give you one last night
So make it twisted
Give you one last shot
Go on and hit it
Give you one last time
To make me miss it
Baby, love me apocalyptic

I'll give you one last night
So make it twisted
Give you one last shot
Go on and hit it
Give you one last time
To make me miss it
Baby, love me apocalyptic

Oh
'Cause no one does it better
No one knows me better
Oh
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
It's now or never

I'll give you one last night
So make it twisted
Give you one last shot
Go on and hit it
Give you one last time
To make me miss it
Baby, love me apocalyptic
Come on

I'll give you one last night
So make it twisted
Give you one last shot
Go on and hit it
Give you one last time
To make me miss it
Baby, love me apocalyptic
Come on

Baby, love me apocalyptic
Come on
Baby, love me apocalyptic

12. What Sober Couldn't Say

Headed for a blackout
Hurting like hell
Finding my way to bottom of the bottle
Packing up my suitcase
Leaving no trace
One step closer with every swallow

A deafening silence
Like you like me
Where you want me
Saying nothing
But not this time
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say

What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break thru
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bullet proof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say

Criminal in my mind
I've been doing time
Believing in the lie
That you still loved me
Making up for
The slamming of the door
Always wanting more but never giving

Sick of crying
Tired of trying
Always buying
Into every kiss
But not this time
I'm gonna say

What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break thru
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bullet proof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say

Ooh...
This is my intervention
Getting your attention
Ooh...
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say

What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break thru
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bullet proof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say

What sober couldn't say

I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say

I'm over this
So over this

13. I Like It Heavy

Some like beautiful, perfect, and pretty
I see the good in the bad and the ugly
I need the volume one louder than ten
Put the pedal to the metal, needle into the red
If the windows ain't shaking
Making my heart race
If I can't feel it in my chest
I'm in the wrong damn place

Got a demon in my soul
And a voice in my head
Saying go, go, go
I can sleep when I'm dead
There's a sonic revelation bringing me to my knees
And there's a man down below that needs my sympathy
I got a ringing in my ears getting ready to burst
Screaming hallelujah mother fucker take me to church

I like it louder than the boom of a big bass drum
I need it harder than the sound of guitar grunge
I like to crank it up, make it thump, all needles to the core
Head banging in the pit and throwing my horns
And just like old school Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Lemmy
I need to drop it down low and make it heavy
I like it heavy, whoa
I like it heavy, whoa

I ride the lightning, roll with the thunder
Going down, down, down with my sisters and brothers
I fell in love with the darkest parts
Standing on the side of the wild at heart
I plucked a feather off a crow
So I could fly
Since I was 13 years old
I've had my horns to the sky

I like it louder than the boom of a big bass drum
I need it harder than the sound of guitar grunge
I like to crank it up, make it thump, all needles to the core
Head banging in the pit and throwing my horns
And just like old school Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Lemmy
I need to drop it down low and make it heavy
I like it heavy, whoa
I like it heavy, whoa

I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy

Some like beautiful perfect and pretty
I see the good in the bad and the ugly
I like it heavy, whoa
I like it heavy, whoa

I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
I like it, it like it, I like it heavy
