Unlock that shutter!
Destroy your idols!
Kick out that stutter!
T-try coming back!
You've got to kick that habit of mine
Avoid the limelight, I don't mind
She took my heart, but I don't cry
I know that things get better
BETTER!
I took your shyness and I made it mine
(Give me some more)
Like a wave of violence from another time
You've got to kick that habit of mine
Avoid the limelight, I don't mind
She took my heart, but I don't cry
I know that things get better
Get a little life in my lifespan
Welcome to the minor generation...

Sometimes i feel love so hard i get sad
But i can't complain about the things i do to get through.
It's simple but true, that's the way it is all the time
You suck dirty air
To make your way through broad city lights
I'm pretty in fashion!
I'm pretty, in fashion. i'm Pretty!
Pretty in fashion.
And i know you've heard that one before
I'm pretty, in fashion. i'm Pretty!
Pretty in fashion.
And i want you to believe me.
Crossed out, content.
There's no energy left to expend
Dress to depress, make the effort to seem effortless
She told me to run,
But that's no way to get what you want
My time is spent catching up on the things i forget
Sylvia Plath, Chairman Mao, Edith Piaf...

Truth denies corrupt desire
So afraid, I can't change
My designs are hard to face
Truth denies corrupt desire
I can't change my mistakes
My desires are hard to fake
TRUTH OR DIE!
TRUTH DENIES!
TRUTH OR DIE!
