Sixx:A.M. – Skin

Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It’s a losing battle
There’s no need to be ashamed

‘Cause they don’t even know you
All they see is scars
They don’t see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you’ve got
That you are not your skin

Oh [2x]

When they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do unto others
As you’d have done to you

Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blindness
They’re the ones that stand to lose

‘Cause they don’t even know you
All they see is scars
They don’t see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you’ve got
That you are not your skin

Oh

Well, they don’t even know you
All they see is scars
And they don’t see the angels
Living in your heart

So, let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you’ve got
That you are not
You are not your skin

Oh [2x]

Heroin Diaries

Posted on by under Music

Sixx:A.M. – Life is Beautiful

You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Alive…
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Girl with Golden Eyes

Posted on by under Music

Sixx:A.M. – Girl with Golden Eyes

She speaks to me in Persian
Tells me that she loves me
The girl with golden eyes
And though I hardly know her
I let her in my veins
And trust her with my life

I wish I had never kissed her
‘Cause I just can’t resist her
The girl with golden eyes
Every time she whispers
‘Take me in your arms
The way you did last night.’

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.

I wake up every morning
Jonesing for her love
The girl with golden eyes
I won’t have to wait long
‘Til she buries me with roses
‘Cause she’s always by my side

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.

Day one. Dope free. I went to the clinic today and got the first dose of methadone.
I’m out of dope so I threw away all my rigs.
Day two. I can’t believe it’s been two days without junk.
Fucking smack, it just ruins peoples’ lives.
At first it seems so sweet, then you wake up next to a monster.
Day three. I haven’t had anything for three days now.
This withdrawal is killing me. It’s like shock therapy to my guts.
Day four. Last visit to the clinic. My whole body feels like it’s cracking into pieces.
Fragile doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel.
Day five– I’m sick as a dog, but this handful of painkillers
and a lotta whiskey’s gonna get me through.
Day six– When I’m left to my own devices I go fucking insane.
I’ll never use heroin again.
Day seven– I can’t believe I’m clean!
Day eight– Everyone says I look better–
Day nine– The parasites are panicking–
Day ten– They seem amazed that I’m alive!

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.

Dead Man’s Ballet

Sixx:A.M. – Dead Man’s Ballet

Oh no, how could this happen to
Such an amazing young boy
I had my whole life ahead of me

Oh God, how could you have let this
Happen to such a lovely young child
I was their only son and I tried,
Tried, tried

Come on,
Come on get out of the way
Get out of the way man
You’re going to have to let go of his arm
You have to let go sir
We’ve got about two minutes here
We’ve got about two minutes and we’re going to lose him

Yeah, you, you miserable father
The one who ignored me for half of my life
Now I, I can’t even look at you
Why? Why? Why?

Don’t abandon me now
I don’t want to die!

You can lead him to the ambulance
But you cannot make him live
No, you cannot make me live!
You can lead him to the ambulance
Lead me home!
But you cannot make him live

What could I have done differently
You never said there was anything wrong
Now the drugs, they give me encouragement
Why? Why? Why?

Oh God, tell me I’ll make it
I’ll give you my blood if that’s all you need
Just don’t tell me that I’m gonna die,
Die, die!

Don’t abandon me now
I don’t want to die
Alone…

You can lead him to the ambulance
But you cannot make him live
No you cannot make me live!
You can lead him to the ambulance
Why can’t we celebrate? Lead me home!
But you cannot make him live
