All I want is a mirror
So I can see this so called brighter day
I'm watching all the world crawl back again
Watching how it blows itself away 

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

All I want is destruction
Want to see it crumble beneath my toes
Smell the way my sore eyes burn away
That's all I can have today 

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

All you want is to be me
So you can screw me up and don't give a damn
('Cause I'm a) crazy
Little daisy to vile to breathe
I'm everything you want today 

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
