A Butterfly in a Hurricane*NEW SONG*
Words and Music; Zim Zum
There was a time, when I thought, I could change the world
life as a child, how I felt, I could do anything
There was a time, when the days, never seemed to end
that was a time, when everything was beautiful
There was a time, when I thought, I was invincible
right before the time, that you said;
Love was dead
There was a time when I wanted to die
I remember it well, I didnt even care enough to say goodbye
There was a time, when my future, was so clouded when
I used to live my life afraid of pain but now I love to let it pour down like rain
Still i’m hanging on by a thread, a cigarette in a burning deathbed
as strange as it seems I cant help but feel like im lucky
i’ve made it this far and it can only get better tomorrow
With each day I feel I’m closer, maybe just a little better
kicking and screaming and searching for some kind of meaning
I’ll always keep trying, it’s gotta be better than dieing
It’s funny how life goes on
with or without you
It’s funny how life goes on
so do what you gotta do
It’s funny how life goes on
with or without you
it’s funny how life goes on
somehow we make it through
Could you please explain why your always so sad?
it seems with a life like yours you really shouldnt ever be anything but glad
So, could you please explain why your always so mad?
all you have to do is take another look around and you will surely see that nothing could ever be that bad
So stop and think because you might not have another day
you can deal with the pain from the guy that made you cry or forget all about the girl that got away
Now is the time to make up your mind and follow through cause’
people will say; never today, wait till tomorrow
slipping away, further each day, keep falling and noone will hear, since nobodies there
it’s time to stand up
Now is the time to make up your mind and follow through cause’
people will say; never today, wait till tomorrow
slipping away, further each day, keep falling and noone will hear, since nobodies there
wake up
There was a time when I wanted to die
I remember it well, I didnt even care enough to say goodbye
There was a time, when my future, was so clouded when
I used to live my life afraid of pain but now I love to let it pour down like rain
Still i’m hanging on by a thread, a cigarette in a burning deathbed
as strange as it seems I cant help but feel like im lucky
i’ve made it this far and it can only get better tomorrow
With each day I feel I’m closer, maybe just a little better
kicking and screaming and searching for some kind of meaning
I’ll always keep trying, it’s gotta be better than dieing
It’s funny how life goes on
with or without you
It’s funny how life goes on
so do what you gotta do
It’s funny how life goes on
with or without you
it’s funny how life goes on
somehow we make it through
Could you please explain why your always so sad?
it seems with a life like yours you really shouldnt ever be anything but glad
So, could you please explain why your always so mad?
all you have to do is take a another look around and you will surely see that nothing could ever be that bad
So stop and think because you might not have another day
you can deal with the pain from the guy that made you cry or forget all about the girl that got away
It’s funny how life goes on

It’s funny how life goes on
so do what you gotta do
It’s funny how life goes on
with or without you
it’s funny how life goes on
somehow we make it through
It’s funny how life goes on?

Pretty Ugly & The Secret Society
Words and Music; Zim Zum
Pretty, pretty, pretty girlfriend
With a pretty, pretty, pretty bad habit
It gets pretty, ugly
When she’s really, really, really
Got to have it
I’ve given her everything
And all she does is take it
I’m always fixing everything
And all she does is break it
I’m kinda sick of fucking her
And usually I fake it
Someday I know she’s gonna be
The death of me
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever helps you see
Whatever is in style
Keep that away from me
Whatever makes you cry
Whatever it may be
If that’s what gets you by
Keep that away from me
Whatever gets you high,
Whatever it is this week,
Everything will be alright,
Don’t slip away from me
I wont ask you to change
To something you can never be
I just need you sometimes,
To keep away from me
You’ve spent more than I can count but still blame me when there’s no money
Buying into everything then wondering why your left with nothing
I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t need to understand
I just want to live each moment
Just like there’s no tomorrow
Think about the things you wish for because they might just happen
All the things that you put me through and how it’s tearing me down
Thoughts of me inside your head will only leave you missing something
And even though I love the things you do sometimes I wish the world would
Stop.
I don’t know why I’m always stuck in this hole
I have issues
No self-respect when you want me to self- destruct when I’m with you
666 in Technicolor does it for me like no other
Mind control just like big brother
Give it to me, I want it
I don’t know why I’m always stuck in this hole
I have issues
No self- respect when you want me to self-destruct when I’m with you
Something quick to make me right
Just to get me through another night
What have you got? I want it
Give it to me, I need it
What have you got? I want it
Give it to me, I need it
What have you got? I want it
Give it to me, I need it
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Everything you’ve got
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Till the day I die
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Ready or not
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Everything you’ve got
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Till the day I die
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Ready or not
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Everything you’ve got
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Till the day I die
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Ready or not
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Everything you’ve got
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Till the day I die
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
Ready or not
I know I’m never perfect
But I’m doing all I can
I know my life’s a big mess
I still hope you understand
I’ve been feeling pretty ugly
And I take it out on you
I really should be happy
For all the little things you do
Sometimes things just don’t work out
And I start to question who I am
It really seems the weight of the world
Is so much more than I could ever stand
When you feel like everyone
Points their finger straight at you
Remember it’s a pretty ugly world
And that’s what pretty ugly people do...

Personality Crisis
Words and Music; Zim Zum
Another day reminds me
of my not so solid state
Reception distorted
As I self medicate
In this world where were all used and then thrown away
Too sick, too tired to try to find a reason to stay
This is just one of many ritual breakdowns
Page six, celebrity meltdown
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just another personality crisis
If todays the day I lose control
If todays the day I just let go,
If I don’t say goodbye I meant to let you know
If my heart should stop
Please try to finally be at ease
Leave me lifeless as there’s nothing left of what you thought was me
This is just one of many ritual breakdowns
Goodbye
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just another personality crisis
If you thought you really knew me
Is this what you thought I’d be?
When you think you’re starting to see
You’re still just looking through me
Never knowing what I might find
When I look in the mirror
Pictures in the back of my mind
Aren’t getting any clearer
Nobody’s counting on me
So I’m not gonna change a single thing
And I’m so fucking tired of trying to be
Something even close to
Making you happy
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines
and trade the truth for lies
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines
and trade the truth for lies
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
This is just another personality crisis
I am what your gossip always sacrifices
This is just another personality crisis
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just another personality crisis
I am what your gossip always sacrifices
This is just another personality crisis
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just one of many ritual breakdowns
Page six, celebrity meltdown
Giving into every single one of my vices
I am what your gossip always sacrifices
This is just one of many ritual breakdowns
Page six, celebrity meltdown
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just another personality crisis
This is just one of many ritual breakdowns
Page six, celebrity meltdown
Giving into every single one of my vices
This is just another personality crisis
Nobody’s counting on me
So I’m not gonna change a single thing
And I’m so fucking tired of trying to be
Something even close to...
Making you happy
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines
and trade the truth for lies
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines
and trade the truth for lies
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines
and trade the truth for lies
The question is still why
You feel the need to try
To read between the lines

THE SKIN i'm IN
Words and Music; Zim Zum
Everybody’s talking about political confusion
I could give a fuck about the state of the union
The battle rages on, the revolutions in my head
My delusions are my medicine without them I’d be dead
How I wish I could remember,
the series of events that brought me to this (how did I get here?)
I’ve been in a never ending December
frozen solid, I just stare at the wall
I’m both, Jekyll and Hyde
when it’s 6 in the morning and there’s no end in sight
The people, the places, the faces, the scene
it’s dope sick clique, if you know what I mean
So, I hear you think,
you’ve got the world all figured out
your the one with the plan,
your gonna stick it to the man
You might want to think it through
I’d like to see what you would do
when you’ve got your tongue
under the barrel of a gun
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something that you need
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something to make you shout
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something to make you bleed
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something to cry about
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you the finger to your face
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you me when I sell out
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something you can taste
I’ll give you something
I’ll give you something to cry about
here I stand not 1 day sober
knowing it will never end but wishing it was over
tomorrow I will wake up and do it all again
no matter what I say, no one understands, how I feel
Feels like the last time, I will ever see, the sun go down
cross my fingers and close my eyes
nobody moves and nobody dies
I thought that I could take it, but now I know I cant
no matter what I say, noone understands, how I feel
Feels like the last time, I will ever see, the sun go down
Everything that I love is hell-bent on killing me
Maybe i’m the one who’s hell-bent but I refuse to see?
Loss of control, spin out, sift through the wreckage
Sometimes, I cant help myself, and I could care less
Just follow the apathy and that’s where you will find me
Stand up, sit down, shut up, dont let them see you shaking
Dont laugh, dont cry, dont blink, dont let them know your thinking
Just follow the anarchy and that’s where you will find me
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show
I feel so stupid because I used to think, it would always be you and me against the world
But here I am, alone again, now it seems like strangers are my only friends
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show
All I want is sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, lets get it on, I’m ready to go (so wont cha’)
Gimme, gimmie sex, drugs and rock n roll
so come on, come on, lets get on with the show

APOCALYPTIC LOVE SONG
Words and Music; Zim Zum
It only takes minute to say the things you wish you had
in the blink of an eye, it could all go bad
noone can deny I am the luckiest man alive
since every day I wake up next to you
When everything comes to a smashing end
I'll be standing right next to you
When everything comes to a crashing end
I hope you know I've always loved you
If I could live on for eternity
I'd rather die than live without you
and If I get a chance to come back again
I'll spend that life looking for you
Can you feel it coming? There's no use in running
I swear to God, until my last breath I will never leave you
I have spent a lifetime staring into your eyes
now the end is near and I admit that I am scared of death
when you get to Heaven tell them I'm not so bad
ask them to consider that I've never been without you
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I hope you get to hear my apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I'm pouring my heart out in an apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I hope you get to hear my apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I'm pouring my heart out in an apocalyptic love song
it only takes minute to say the things you wish you had
in the blink of an eye, it could all go bad
When everything comes to a smashing end
I'll be standing right next to you
When everything comes to a crashing end
I hope you know I've always loved you
If I could live on for eternity
I'd rather die than live without you
and If I get a chance to come back again
I'll spend that life looking for you
Can you feel it coming? There's no use in running
I swear to God, until my last breath I will never leave you
I have spent a lifetime staring into your eyes
now the end is near and I admit that I am scared of death
when you get to Heaven tell them I'm not so bad
ask them to consider that I've never been without you
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I hope you get to hear my apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I'm pouring my heart out in an apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone
so it seemed like a good time to write this song
I wanna set things right because we dont have long
I hope you get to hear my apocalyptic love song
Any second now we will all be gone

N0THING
Lyrics and Music: Zim Zum
I need you
to help me make sense of this place
I need you
to walk with me through these strange days
I need you
to try to make me understand
I need you
Because my life is always in your hands
I need you
when I want to make believe I'm a man
I need you
to carry me across this wasteland
I need you
to break my fall when I take a stand
I need you
because my life is always in your hands
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing
I need you
to silence all the voices in my head
I need you
to forget the things I wish I never said
I need you
to shake me from this state i'm in
I need you
because I cant remember where i've been
I need you
to hide away the key to my cell
I need you
to promise me that you will never tell
I need you
to tell me I could be something great
I need you
so, please, please tell me before it's too late
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing
Everything you do means something
Anything without you is nothing

Lyrics and Music: Zim Zum
All the disillusioned say; God damn the revolution
Chaos and confusion will give birth to a new religion
All the disillusioned say; God damn the revolution
Chaos and confusion will give birth to a new religion
All the disillusioned say; God damn the revolution
Not buying what you're telling me
Don’t need what you’re selling me
So im sick, Who the fuck cares?
So are you
Life's a trick and nobody cares
Why should you?
So im sick, Who the fuck cares?
So are you
It's times like this that make us do things we shouldn’t do
Life's a trick and nobody cares
Why should you?
Life's a trick and nobody cares
What you do
Life's a trick and nobody cares
Why should you?
Life's a trick and nobody cares
Lost revolutions
Leave lonely humans
To wonder why
To wait to die
To leave us broken
On our last words choking
Hey disillusioned
It's mass confusion,
Better find a new solution
You’re running out of time
Lost revolutions
Leave lonely humans
To wonder why
To wait to die
To leave us broken
On our last words choking
So we spend our lives
Killing time we borrowed
Living in a dream
Like there’s no tomorrow
Then we end our lives
On our knees and hollow
Wishing it was meaning something
Knowing it was all for nothing
Look at me, I'm not you
but your still a part of me and i'm still a part of you.
Do you ever wonder why,
everything is a dream never quite what it seems.
You say i'm free but thats not what I see,
all I ever find is that youve stripped me down to deaf, dumb and blind.
I know i'm sick but I just cant afford to be.
You know i'm sick because all day long your watching me.
Does anybody even care anymore?
I cant even walk down the block without
someone always watching me.
I cant even turn on tv without
someone always lieing to me.
I will not live my life this way.
Love us
See nobody
Trust us
Hear nobody
Watch us
Speak to no one
Kill what’s inside
You

Kill what’s inside you

The Art of the Bruise
Lyrics and Music: Zum
I am the sickness and you are the only cure
And I am so filthy and I wish that I was pure
And I was so holy and now I'm just a lonely whore
And now that I have it all I'm still so fucking bored
I am frustrated, subversive and anarchist
And I am a product of sex, drugs and politics
And I am the essence of sickness in society
And now and forever I choose
The art of the bruise
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or kiss it goodbye
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or go down fighting
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or kiss it goodbye
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or go down fighting
I am the shit on your shined shoes
I am the bad with your good news
I'm anti productive and super destructive
A subliminal countdown
All American meltdown
I am the sickness and you are the only cure
And I am so filthy and I wish that I was pure
And I was so holy and now I'm just a lonely whore
And now that I have it all I'm still so fucking bored
Start a little war
Do a little more *
Even I know
It still wont be enoughv
Slit my wrists
Make suicide fun
Even I know
It still wont be enough
Sell my soul in a magazine
Even I know
It still wont be enough
Date a pretty girl
Do the fashion scene
Even I know
It still wont be enough
I am frustrated, subversive and anarchist
And I am a product of sex, drugs and politics
And I am the essence of sickness in society
And now and forever I choose
The art of the bruise
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or kiss it goodbye
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or go down fighting
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or kiss it goodbye
Life is just a war
That I'm still fighting
This is the time to get up or go down fighting
I am the shit on your shined shoes
I am the bad with your good news
I'm anti productive and super destructive
A subliminal countdown

Who Will Save Us Now?
Lyrics: Zum Music: Zum
Prestigious, flawless and divine
Were a new breed of Ultra Life
Consciousness of souls combined
I am yours and you are mine
We are perfect
We are born to die
Strip us down
Rape us of our pride
We are hungry
Feed us all your lies
Beat us down
Make us feel alive
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how to live and die in the 21st century?
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how to live and die in the 21st century?
I sit here contemplating
Everything so fascinating
If you look into my eyes
You will see what I despise is
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you,
You
Don't you tell me how to feel
Don't you tell me what to do
Don't you tell me what I know and what I don't and what I should
Don't you tell me what is real
Don't you tell me wrong or right
Don't you tell me how to live or die or kill what I donít like
Don't you tell me how to feel
Don't you tell me what to do
Don't you tell me what I know and what I don't and what I should
Don't you tell me what is real
Don't you tell me wrong or right
Don't you tell me how to live or die or kill what I don't like
There's no escape
Nowhere to hide
We have lost
What was our minds
Sanity we'll never find
What will live must surely die
We are perfect
We are born to die
Strip us down
Rape us of our pride
We are hungry
Feed us all your lies
Beat us down
Make us feel alive
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how?
Who will save us now?
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how to live and die in the 21st century?
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how to live and die in the 21st century?
I sit here contemplating
Everything so fascinating
If you look into my eyes
You will see what I despise is
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
Don't you tell me how to feel
Don't you tell me what to do
Don't you tell me what I know and what I don't and what I should
Don't you tell me what is real
Don't you tell me wrong or right
Don't you tell me how to live or die or kill what I donít like
Don't you tell me how to feel
Don't you tell me what to do
Don't you tell me what I know and what I don't and what I should
Don't you tell me what is real
Don't you tell me wrong or right
Don't you tell me how to live or die or kill what I don't like
We are defects
Social rejects
We are defects
Social rejects
We are defects
Social rejects
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how?
Who will save us now?
Who will show us how?

Ordinary Life
Lyrics and Music: Zum
top::
I don't really care what the fuck you think of me
Do you really want me to make excuses?
No apologies, for any part of me,
That you might happen to find offensive
I'm still not everything that I want to be,
What you choose to see, is just one part of me
It may never mean anything to you, that I don't want to be
Like everybody
Ordinary Life, like everybody, like everybody
Ordinary Life, Like everybody, like everybody
Sleeping in a taxi
Destination unknown
Life without technology
Disconnected cell phone
Anti-Social
Living in oblivion
Over limit credit cards and insufficient funds
Tuned in drop outs deconstruct from self doubt
Brain washed
Defaced
Aerosol head case
Gigabyte parasites with gaze tracking hindsight
Mega hurts
Super pain
Paranoia mind games
I'd rather die than become anything like everybody
I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
(I'd rather die) Iíd rather die than become anything like everybody
(I hope I die) I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
(I'd rather die) I'd rather die than become anything like everybody
(I hope I die) I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
Every single one of your questioning stares
And every single one of your uneasy glares
Won't tell you anything to change what you think about me
And even though this happens to me all of the time
And it's always something running through the back of my mind
I won't tell you anything to change what you think about me
I don't really care what the fuck you think of me
Do you really want me to make excuses?
No apologies, for any part of me,
That you might happen to find abusive
I'm still not everything that I want to be,
What you choose to see, is just one part of me
It may never mean anything to you, that I don't want to be
Like everybody
Ordinary Life, like everybody, like everybody
Ordinary Life, Like everybody, like everybody
Sleeping in a taxi
Destination unknown
Life without technology
Disconnected cell phone
Anti-Social
Living in oblivion
Over limit credit cards and insufficient funds

I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
(I'd rather die) I'd rather die than become anything like everybody
(I hope I die) I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
(I'd rather die) I'd rather die than become anything like everybody
(I hope I die) I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
(I'd rather die) I'd rather die than become anything like everybody
(I hope I die) I hope I die before I ever start to,
Start to feel ordinary
