aking it back,
Taking it back,
I withdraw my sympathy pact,
Overreact,
Guess I'm just an autodidact,
Making the facts,
And I say that...
You had sober eyes,
It's hard to say just how small you make me feel,
You had sober eyes,
Hey, don't be amazed,
I'm just a phase,
I'm your creation and I'll find you,
Hey, don't be afraid,
We'll throw a parade,
We'll get overpaid and run away to...
Hey, don't be amazed,
I'm just a phase,
I'm your creation and I'll find you,
Hey, don't be afraid,
I'm gonna fade,
I'm just a phase,
We'll throw a parade,
We'll get overpaid and run away to...

I Should Be Proud

Take a hint, you're not wanted here, get lost, go away,
Shut your mouth, you're on mute, no one gives a fuck what you say,
Yeah, canker sores your best bet,
Counterfeit and get spent,
Your not like the rest of them,
Spitting out the ATM,
Pull your punch and get shot,
Bleed out in the parking lot,
Get back on the dance floor,
Change your name and shoot some more,
Face to face with another faceless crowd,
I see my trail and I know I should be proud,
Turn your head and they vanish with the time,
Still I gave it all though I know I should have died,
You have seen what you've done to me, still you sleep comfortably,
I think it's weird that you're living here, you're rejected socially,
Yeah, hang around and get bent,
Can't believe it got sent,
I'm not like the other ones,
Stick around and get some,
Hit the ground and go splat,
Tuning up your ball bat,
Petulance in combat,
Wired cars with bombast,
Face to face with another faceless crowd,
I see my trail and I know I should be proud,
Turn your head and they vanish with the time,
Still I gave it all though I know I should have died,
C'mon, I'll be your best friend,
We're day and night,
You pour your heart, I say when,
We're black and white,
We're like a traffic stop,
And you're my dirty cop,
You plant a gun to my head,
Yeah, canker sores your best bet,
Counterfeit and get spent,
Your not like the rest of them,
Spitting out the ATM,
Pull your punch and get shot,
Bleed out in the parking lot,
Get back on the dance floor,
Change your name and shoot some more,
Face to face with another faceless crowd,
I see my trail and I know I should be proud,
Turn your head and they vanish with the time,
Still I gave it all though I know I should have died,

Ode To Zero

Cue the rats, chew me sober,
I'm in debt, you're in clover,
I've been saved from all your plans,
Never gave a second chance,
Pulling teeth, going hungry,
Feeling dead, testing boundaries,
Look me in the eyes, you freak,
Nod your head and we're home free,
I have tried so many times,
You're only one,
Singe the air, we don't like it,
Don't ask me, I'm no psychic,
People stare, we all know why,
Bat an eyelash, balk the eye,
Camping out in your backseat,
I've indulged in your red meat,
Put the fire in it's place,
Spit the flu in my face,
I have tried so many times,
I'm out of mind,
I'm used and left behind,
You've drawn and crossed the line,
I'm in debt to you,
So beat me to the ground,
And kick me while I'm down,
And run me out of town,
I'm in debt to you,
You're only one,
Sorry state, you're redacted,
You get paid while I'm distracted,
Toe the line and follow through,
Tie me up with stupid rules,
Have no fear, I'm your savior,
Don't look down, you can't change her,
Suck it up and swallow proud,
It's raining heads from the clouds,
I have tried so many times,
You're only one,

We Are

All the cut throats and delays,
All the consequences and bills we have to pay,
Bribe the judges and deejays,
Cash the check and walk away,
Break the bank,
Pay the fine,
Why are we so far behind?
Cuz we are,
Kiss the ring,
Beg to stay,
Why are we and why aren't they?
Cuz we are,
Fearing safety, hating love,
Another hopeless situation from above,
Treat the tyrant with kid gloves,
Breaking rules you've never heard of,
Break the bank,
Pay the fine,
Why are we so far behind?
Cuz we are,
Kiss the ring,
Beg to stay,
Why are we and why aren't they?
Cuz we are,
Pay up - You've got a lot to learn,
Just go to bed, the fix is in,
Pay up - You've got a lot to learn,
Cuz once your wallet buys you it begins,
Break the bank,
Pay the fine,
Why are we so far behind?
Cuz we are,
Kiss the ring,
Beg to stay,
Why are we and why aren't they?
Cuz we are,

Vacuous

In my mind,
I'm in any other place than the one I find,
Color blind,
I'm addicted to it all leave it undefined,
Let It go,
We can talk and work it out, tell me what you stole,
Pay your toll,
I'm the victim if I let the bottle take control,
All my cares, all my lies,
I never wanted to hurt you but I guess I'm not that kind,
I'm gonna do it again,
You know what I say goes,
Daily grind,
Getting through another day is a waste of time,
No rewind,
I can live with your miscellany, I don't mind,
Let it go,
We can talk and work it out, tell me what you stole,
Living goal,
I'm the winner and my prize is a hardened soul,
All my cares, all my lies,
I never wanted to hurt you but I guess I'm not that kind,
I'm gonna do it again,
You know what I say goes,

Forget It!

Been feeling so many different things,
Constantly questioning all my actions,
Is what I do for the best?
I try to hold us down no matter what happens,
So why can't I think straight?
Losing track of everything,
Of everything,
Baby, I don't know if you know,
But I don't wanna go through all the trouble of something we're not sure of,
Baby, if the walls crumble down,
And the world turned around,
Would things be different?
Or should I forget it?
Lately I have been such a mess,
I can't seem to find the answers that I need,
So what should I do with myself?
I know the path I should take,
But that don't make it easy,
I know it isn't right,
But you can't tell your heart to stop,
It never stops,
Baby, I don't know if you know,
But I don't wanna go through all the trouble of something we're not sure of,
Baby, if the walls crumble down,
And the world turned around,
Would things be different?
Or should I forget it?
I don't know who I am anymore, there's a feeling in me that I thought I could never show,
How can I leave behind the love left for me to find,
I'll just keep wondering, so...
Will you let me know?
Should I stay or should I go?
Baby, I don't know if you know,
But I don't wanna go through all the trouble of something we're not sure of,
Baby, if the walls crumble down,
And the world turned around,
Would things be different?
Or should I forget it?

I woke up on the bedroom floor,
I think it's late but I'm not sure,
I crawl into the shower stall,
and try not to recall,
the car is broke and I lost my shoe,
the kids are hungry the rent is due,
the power is out the cable's down,
I got to leave this town,
but I wanted you to know,
that I've always felt this low,
\and I shave the hours systematically,
and I wanted to survive,
but I'm running out of time,
and I planned your hours in favor of me,
I woke up on the bathroom floor,
I think it's early I'm not sure,
I can't stand up my legs are numb,
forgot where I came from,
in yet another drunken fit,
I never learn I feel too sick,
I can't get out of bed most days,
I hope it's just a phase
I woke up on the kitchen floor,
I might be dead but I'm not sure,
seems I always find out last,
erase it from my past,
the toast is burnt my coffee's cold,
I know too much my mind's too old,
I've got one foot inside your grave
but there's still more time to shave,

Malfeasance

I'm stealing all your memories I'm taking you for everything you've been
I beat my head against the wall, I'll scream until your cardboard roof caves in
But I'm not here anymore
We owe them more than the back of our hand
Blinders and daggers, just bury me in sand
We owe them more than the back of our hand
you tried to take my breath away but everything you do is born to fail,
You stand there and they're paying you, you're below par substandard old and pale,

Hello goodbye, your trend has died, and I'm taking down your picture,
You said enough, you had your share, now we're all too old and jaded to even care,
Cuz all I want is to be told
Something I already know
Cuz I don't want myself, I want to be alone...
You needed time, we need to change, but I've got to learn your secrets,
It's not the same, it isn't fair, and it's easier to suffocate than it is to breathe this air
I finally found where I belong
I wonder why it took so long
So turn it up or turn away
Afraid I'll never be afraid
I won't take it anymore

Gangrene

Welcome to My mind, a thing that never changes, a things that never dies, is bundled up inside, deep inside a hole that never grows a scab, absorbing all I've had,
Cuz I've had enough of my controller
I'll see you later, nice to have known you
I realize that it sounds cliche,
but there's no way that I'll remain, so get out of here
Here we go again, nothing left but reruns buried deep in dirt, and underneath the blood and people who've outlived me is what I'm looking for, I pray they've left me more

Bizarre

Doesn't mean a thing,
All you give are promises,
Little people pray,
From a fear of consequence,
Gotta get away,
Modern Life Is so bizarre,
There will come a day,
When the villains take you out,
I'm not so fake, I'm your mistake, I'll bite and kick and scream,
I'm inside, I'm justified, I'm lurid and obscene,
All this time we've wasted life was better than before,
Give me one good reason why I should not ask for more,
Give me more...
Got a heavy date,
Gotta dress and look the part,
And you're running late,
Gonna finish before we start,
While we sit and wait,
We could change our minds and go,
Pay the gallery,
Give it life and lose control,
I've been waiting,
My life is so bizarre...
