This is the dawning of a new era This is the dawning of a new era I met a girl from area three She told me that she worked in a chicken factory This is the dawning of a new era By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Lisst' I had to walk her home through area six This is the dawning of a new era Sticks and stones may break my bones In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks This is the dawning of a new era I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor The key won't fit the door This is the dawning of a new era She said she had a beautiful flat We had to sleep on the mat This is the dawning of a new era Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven" Oh shit, this is area seven This is the dawning of a new era This is the dawning of a new era This is the dawning of a new era This is so boring, it's a new era

As we bow to soverignity, I'm feeling programmed by your... Carry me away. Take me away from here. My head has got the best of me again. But now I'm finding, damn your lying. This charade has got to end. Through organized deception, we become investments. As an attempt to commercialize pain. Have we no shame? As we bow to sovereignity. Flesh and bone machines worked their way in me. This competition, forced opinion takes its toll on me. The dawning age of dehumanization. As we bow to sovereignity, I'm feeling programmed tuned by your lies. Swallow the light, lies it feels warm inside. Through organized deception, we've become investments. There's no moving me. Right here is where I'll be. It's gonna take more than words to get a rise from me. There's no moving me. Swallow the light. Lies. It feels warm inside. Swallow the light. Lies. They mudered the mind. Murdering minds. Lies... it feels warm inside. Plastic silicone goddess. International tele-violence. Neurological battering offense. Mutilation of the conscience. The only reception clear to me, is this longing for eternity.

Well, she's the prettiest girl at the party And she knows it She's got a picture-perfect smile that Break your heart wide open She'll let the butterflies free If your eyes leave for a moment When she finally leaves It's like she's walking in slow motion When she comes home Sits down and gets in her bed, she's invested Shе's all alone So done with trying to pretеnd And she says "Under the covers, I'm someone else Than what you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth" And she says "Under the surface, I'm so much more than just a Pretty face or the girl next door, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth" It's been a couple of years So she moved to West L.A 'Cause when you look that good, I guess you Might as well get paid Went from her parents' old house To become a household name It's a whole new world but somehow Still feels just the same It's when she comes home Sits down and gets in her bed, so successful And she's still alone So done with tryna pretend And she says "Under the covers, I'm someone else Than what you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth" And she says "Under the surface, I'm so much more than just a Pretty face or the girl next door, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth" And maybe it's Maybelline But it's probably make-believe 'Cause the dreams that they're selling to you Are paper-thin, too And she says "Under the covers, I'm someone else Than what you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth" And she says "Under the surface, I'm so much more than just a Pretty face or the girl next door, yeah The magazines don't always tell the truth"

Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor A remedy I've tried too many times Echoes in my mind of shouts and slamming doors I've done better with goodbyes Now the sun is heading back into its grave It's a cold October night Taste the autumn air and hope to find a way To keep the dark out of my mind Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep Watch the room around me glow Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves In the silence I'm at home In my dreams I see her standing by the fire Granite eyes reflect the flames Humming softly 'til the embers start to tire A faded memory that I saved Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene

You say that we should move on now But it's hard 'Cause I still got half your closet in the back of my car All my friends say I'm hopeless, but I'm not It's just that I really hope this doesn't tear us apart 'Cause when you leave me I don't wanna be alone I want you to need me Baby, baby please don't go The way we loved was so damn incredible That it made me numb when I had to let it go Now you say we're done and I hope it was memorable But I can't move on 'cause you're so unforgettable I still remember the old you, but it's gone And I just hope that he holds you The way that you want I got a feeling that I should just walk away But it gets harder and harder every day 'Cause when you leave me I don't wanna be alone I want you to need me Baby, baby please don't go The way we loved was so damn incredible That it made me numb when I had to let it go Now you say we're done and I hope it was memorable But I can't move on 'cause you're so unforgettable
