Lyrics for You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In... as interpreted by Mike NJSS

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In... Lyrics
in the middle of a gunfight
in the center of a restaurant
they say come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer

-chorus:
now
but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can

too much too late
or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
:chorus-

they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmate's a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself
am i losing myself?

and well i miss my mom
will they give me the chair?
or lethal injection?
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen

-chorus-

to your room
what they ask of you
they make you want to see(?)
how long
well i dont remember
i remember
do you have the keys to the hotel?

life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man

and i didn't know this about yourself until i looked at your profile, but you're only 15 (two years younger than myself and four years younger than "the knowledge dispensor") and that's what made me realize how young some wrist cutters can be.

so you're not mature enough to understand how meaningless self harming is, please think this over;
are your plroblems worth making your life a living hell?
cause the more you do this the more you'll get labelled "freak" , "masochist" or "nut-case".

ok...where to start! i guess maybe your right im only 15 and i may soon realise that self harm wasnt a good idea and that i was stupid for doing it but at the moment it seems like teh easiest thing to do, and neveroutgunned you mentioned self harm being my comfort zone and you were exactly right, i know that no matter what i can cut myself without involving anyone or letting people know, its easy to do and if done in teh right places nobody will ever know you did it so yeah it is my comfort zone thats exactly what it is. also its noy a fact that cutting your wrists is a bad thing and im not in denial. and you say cutting your wrists is bad, is it still bad if you cut other places is that still counted as self harm like if you cut your legs for example?

if i make it to forty...
and actually yeah that does scare me a bit the thought of having regrets when im older, i dont wanttowish i hadnt done things, but i may not wish that, i may not regret cutting i may still be doing it.

and in a way yes i am saying cutting is a good thing, ifmost people didnt cut then they would probably kill themselves, its like an alternative to suicide, in a way...

also why do you think its a dangerous attitude to take by thinking cutting is normal, to me it IS normal its not me being dillusional

no, it's not!
if people don't cut, it doesn't mean they'll kill themselves, i hate to sound like a father, but you gotta start thinking about what's right for you, lots of people are overloaded with problems, and still manage to go on without cutting.
i know you think it's your only alternative besides suicide, but there is defect in your thinking there buddy, cutting/self harming is NOT normal, it's NOT okay!!
most of the times masochism will lead to suicide, think of all the people who love you and don't want any harm for you.

just get a dartboard with my name in the middle and practice target shooting whenever you get angry.
THAT's an alternative.
Eat a whole tub of ice cream whenever you feel fed up.
THAT's an alternative.
put on children of bodom's "Something Wild" and crank up the volume to ten.
THAT's an alternative.

There are millions of ways you can vent your anger without provoking pain.
your body is not a boxing bag, you don't unleash all you got bottled up inside on it.
NeverOutgunned is right.

ps: the term he used is disillusioned not dillusional, he means that you treating the topic with less severity than it deserves.

i just hate seeing someone hurting themselves just cause they have no alternative so feel free to come on here and insult me, just let it all out, and that my friend is also another alternative, it'll make you feel better and'll make me feel better.

if you were to die, i can't help but think:

"i knew this person, and i can't believe she disappeared so easily.
i used to come on here and talk to her now she's gone, just like that"

that's what i thought about all the people that used to be part of my life and passed away...
it might sound stupid, but it's not.
jeez i'm getting too involved again...

btw: i hope you make it till forty!

dude, no one can insult you, your completely right,...

People who cut themselves do it for attention, they usually do it without the intent to kill themselves...

but just by being exposed to the thoughts of suicide, that will make you desensitised to the fact that when you die, you aen't coming back, it takes away from the seriousness in it....

cutting is fucking stupid,... wanna know what my alternative to cutting is?

Nirvana,...

Here is this man with an amazing talent who had to go and waste it by taking his own life,..he's not gonna be around again, he won't be writing music ever again, simply because he was feeling bad for himself once,...

As much as Kurt was flawed, and that's why I respect him so, it pisses me off what he did,....

B12 bless your ass for laying the smack down on these dipshits..

well to make it to 40 ill have to live another 25 years, thats a long time alot could go wrong lol.

i don't understand why you think i would want to throw darts at your name, you haven't said anything to me thats bad, you definetly haven't said anythign that would make me want to throw darts at you name lol, other people though i would like to throw darts at them, god theres loads of people i would like to throw darts at lol

And also im not going to die, i dont want to kill myself if i wanted to i would have by now, it would have been so easy for me anytime to purposely slit a vein i coul dhave done it with my eyes closed, so you dont need to worry about me going to die 'cause it wont happen, well not anytime soon this place is stuck with me for a while :P

I thought dillusioned and dillusional were the same thing but then again i thought masochist was someone who destroyed things lol

Bulimia, but its not bad, i mean if i wanted to i could probably stop, but i dont really want to thats the only reason i havent.

And ok i understand the thing about skiing but i dont see it like that and no matter how much you tell me its wrong im still going to do it, if i thought it was wrong i wouldnt do it, i would stop.

Well from a psycological stand point,

the reason you cut yourself is because you don't like yourself,
there is something about you or maybe something you do that you do not like and it manifests itself in pleasure by self harm,

It means you need to change yourself, you're obviously not being who you really are if you cut yourself and you obviously don't like your self image if you're bullimic,

Let me tell you the only times puking yourself is acceptable...

when you've ingested poison, and you need to get it out

or when I'm half a pound over at weigh ins lol....


but in all seriousness, if you regularly puke yourself and don't want to stop, it's because you get pleasure from it, believe me, there are better healthier ways of dealing with stress....

You probably just need to take a couple weeks off, go away for a bit, try to find yourself, try to find an element of who you are,

Listen to some Pearl Jam or Nirvana,

because who you think you are, isn't doing you any favors by making you hate yourself,....

Because emotears obviously has self-image issues that need to be addressed,

fix the self-image issues, and pretty much stop the cutting puking, low self esteem...

I personally blame the media, but that only makes sense...

yeah, i do hate myself but dont most 15 year old girls, and self image is totally an issue for me, but again isnt it the same with most 15 year old girls. but the thing is the more i hate myself the more i cut and throw up but the more i do that the more a hate myself... its a big vicious circle, and the bottom line is im a fuck up

You know this and you still do it,?

It doesn't feel like what your doing is good?, the only way I can explain this to you is to quote the 40 year old virgin's token black guy

"Of course it don't feel right.
What has felt right for you
didn't work.

You need to try
some wrong, dawg."

of course the "wrong things" I am refering to are things that go against your will....

now I'm not talking about your will to live, DO NOT go against that,

I am talking about the will to do absolutely nothing and just be a blob that absolutely everyone has and pretty everyone can overcome...

and yes, most 15 year old girls do have image and self esteem issues, but the number one thing that can take care of that is talking with someone, find someone you know you can trust, develop a relationship with them..

It will help, and I guarantee that when you stop cutting and start going for walks while listening to mozart, you'll feel much better....

Ohh and try to listen to love line, you'll get this kind of help 5 days a week from 10 to midnight from adam corrola and Dr. Drew....

they kick ass, but you seriously need to stop cutting... it isn't a healthy way to deal...

This song is like cool and uh maybe it's to do with the story in the album and then about the bert gerrard thing which icks me out just squiemish. I like the whole way it is like all confusing and complex how theirs so many lines of rythems an notes and lyrics it is really cool it makes you want to listen harder. THen the giggle in the end makes you all like woah it's over so sudden and then to our rescue the intro to i'm not ok it is really cooolish.

monologue:
i guess the conversation was going okay, but then it went to a completely new level thanks to the token black guy quote posted by n0 c0de, and now things have seemed to brighten up, but like the narrator just mentionned: only time will tell

(ps: i hope the funny jokes asdfg and myself are providing you with affect the mood and make things a bit easier)
