Live At The Gig

Devon Live At The Gig Lyrics
1.Daddy Dearest

Sometimes i sit and reflect on
Things my daddy said
Things i should never forget
Never get out of my head

I'm a fuck
And i suck
I'm useless, worthless, i never shut up
I am weak
I shouldn't speak
Got nothing of value to say anyway

These are just things my daddy told me
These are just things my daddy said
That i'll never, never, never get out of my head

I'm a whore
And i'm sure
To end up with nothing in the end
I'm scattered
As if it mattered
That i can't keep my head on straight
That's just great

These are just things my daddy told me
These are just things my daddy said
That i'll never, never, never get out of my head

Now i try to escape
The voices that i hear
Telling me to do damage
I know i can make something of myself
If i can just manage
To get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip

I'm a snake
I suffocate
Can't even make a dime
There's only one thing
I'm good for
Hey, are you looking for a good time?

These are just things my daddy told me
These are just things my daddy said
That i'll never, never, never get out of my head

I'm a waste
And just in case
I ever start to forget
You so graciously remind me
That i'm a great big mistake .....

And i always have to have the last word


2.Sick To My Stomach

When i think of your hands sliding down my back
When i think of your sweat on my skin
And your moist breath whispering in my ear
I ... i ... i
I get sick
Sick to my stomach

I pretended to love you longer than i did
I wish i could erase the images i see
Your satisfied grin, you lying beneath me, dear
I ... i ... i
I get sick
Sick to my stomach

How could i let you get so close?
You slithered in when i was needy
By the time i saw it for what it was
It was too late to put on the brakes

When i think of the way people are looking at me
Like i lead you on -- they're wrong
They don't know the whole story
And now you turn me on, oh you turn me on
About as much as sandpaper masturbation, dear
I ... i ... i

What flash of insanity
Could have made me
Do what i did?

With all your false maturity
It's a lie
You're nothing but a kid

You devoured my skin
How could i let you in
And out and in and out and in and out and in and out?
I ... i ... i

When i think of what never should have been
It makes my head spin
I ... i ... i
I get sick
Sick to my stomach

I think i'm gonna puke


3.Hiding

I'm hiding ...
I'm hiding ...

I'm hiding who i really am
I want to tell the truth, but i just can't
We built our bond on honesty
But still i've hidden

This part of me

He understands me like nobody else
With him i can truly be myself
Believe me, i never want to lie
But i lied to him
And i don't know why

But i wish i could go back
To that one moment in time
When i had the chance
The chance to do the right thing
The right thing

What am i so afraid of?

I felt a piece of me die
And it's the part of me that keeps me alive
God give me the strength to tell the truth tonight
I want to set things right

So i'm not ...

Hiding
Don't want to be hiding
Don't want to be
Don't want to be
Hiding, hiding, hiding ....


4.Erase You

I don't need your false affection
I don't need your serpent smiles
Drawing me into your garden
The devil hides behind angel eyes

I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how i felt
To realize that i was blind

I don't need your razor blade caresses
Those subtle cuts upon my soul
And i'm not gonna put myself in prison
For something that you stole

You know there's no poison in this venom
And there's no hatred in these words
It's the pain that sparks this fire
And swells the river of fuel it burns

I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how i felt
To realize that i was blind

And don't need another nail in my coffin
And i don't need a stake through my heart
And i don't need you to keep telling me
That what i did drove us apart

I don't need your candy-coated love
Sweet at first, bitter inside
And i don't need to mend your broken wings
If you won't try once more to fly

A closed casket for our twisted love
And i'm alone to mourn this loss
I built this with unknowing hands
Now i alone must bear this cross

I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how i felt
To realize that i was blind

I'll erase you
I'll delete you
I'll erase you
I'll erase you
I'll delete you

I'll erase you


5.Perfect

I'm so perfect you say
I'm so special, no one can compare
How can you see all these things in me?
I can't believe you

I'm looking in my funhouse mirror
I'm disgusted by what i see
I strain to catch a glimpse of the light
You claim to see around me

And the more i try to run away
The more you pull me back
And the more you try to love me
The more that i attack
I just can't see what you see in me

You want to destroy self-portraits that i paint
Through picasso's eyes
But it's hard to discard
Weapons that i use
In my daily self-destruction

And the more i try to run away
The more you pull me back
And the more you try to love me
The more that i attack
I just can't see what you see in me

I'm sitting on the corner of paranoid and hopelessness
Waiting, waiting
For you to take me away
I'm always trying to get rid of you
When what i really want
Is for you to stay

And the more i try to run away
The more you pull me back
And the more you try to love me
The more that i attack
I just can't see what you see in me

I want to see what you see
I wish i could see what you see
In me


6.I Like My Dog

He tip toes
Down the stairs
Carefully, don't wake the baby

His wife is fast asleep
She doesn't see
The double life he's leading

The face he wears at night
What he can do with a knife
He trembles with sweet, sick satisfaction

He does it again and again and again
Another life is taken

The more i see
Of the cruelty surrounding me
The more i like my dog
The more hatred i see
Each night on my tv
The more i like my dog

He tip toes
Around the corner
Evil thoughts spin in his head

He only sees their skin
Not their faces
He wishes they all were dead

The bell rings
The children play
It's just another sunny day

Then there's a scream
It fills the air
It's not a game -- the blood is real, it's everywhere

The more i see
Of the cruelty surrounding me
The more i like my dog
The more hatred i see
Each night on my tv
The more i like my dog

A dog doesn't know how to hate
A dog doesn't discriminate
A dog doesn't premeditate
The insanity that humanity
Does .....

The more i see
Of the cruelty surrounding me
The more i like my dog
The more hatred i see
Each night on my tv
The more i like my dog


7.Inadequate

I feel inadequate
That extra mystery puzzle piece that doesn't fit
That birthday candle that doesn't stay lit
I feel like shit

How can i reinvent myself
To meet the standards
That they have set

I'd like to end this game
I'd press start over
Next time everything
Stacked better in my favor

I'm all fed up and starved to death
Carved and sliced to look my best
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm so sick of this
Living up to an image
That doesn't exist

I feel all worn out
Like a barbie doll with its legs ripped off
And hair torn out
Fuck it, she's just a doll

I'm more like barbie's friend
The one who didn't get
The pink corvette, the platinum hair
And perfect breasts

I hate that bitch for what she's done to my head

I'm all fed up and starved to death
Carved and sliced to look my best
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm so sick of this
Living up to an image
That doesn't exist

Don't follow me down this downward spiral
It's like a viral infection
No antibiotic protection
The world will make you feel
Like its collection of lies
It's lies ... it's lies ... it's lies ....
Is real ....

There's nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with you

I'm inadequate
No no no
