Minimum Wage
02:12
|
|||
You, You're out of touch
You've taken too much
Acting as if you think you know whats best for us
But now you drew the lines
Now we picked the sides
And the upper privileged class is running out of time
Your driver your maid
Your nanny your slave
Minimum Minimum Minimum Wage.....
Your expected to produce
You know what will happen if you refuse
Your country needs you, there's no excuse
Its in your head your right to choose
And all that money you work so hard to earn
Cant cast a shadow on what they burn
What i wouldn't give to see the tables turned
See what its like to starve to death
Maybe then You'll learn
There taking money from the big companies
And making up laws based on their greed.
We are the ones picking up the tab
With pain in our hands and the sweat down our backs

You Can't Escape
02:00
|
|||
It won't go away
And you'll find that you can't escape
Your past catches up with you someday
I wouldn't do that
Couldn't stand unconscious misery
Endless distrust and disarray
What would it take for you to believe?
How many people do you have to deceive?
To get the things that you think you need
When the fact is, your blinded by greed
You'll fall in line
With a thirst of a different kind
Karma's always just one step behind
It won't go away
And you'll find that you can't escape
Your past catches up with you someday
Who calls the shots? How much you got?
Your dead if you call the fucking cops
Nobody's with you, your all alone
Forgotten by everyone you've known
And you'll find that you can't escape
Your past catches up with you someday

Shades of Grey
02:04
|
|||
Stare into the mirror, staring back into my eyes
Get a little glimpse of the future built from lies
And everything i worked so hard to achieve
And then begin to question everything i believe
Will the pressure become too much to bare?
How much can i take before i just don't fucking care?
How much time can i put in,
Just to have it thrown back into my face?
Where is my saving grace?
I've reached my breaking point and start to crack
My vision blurs from red and goes to black
Will i disappear just like a bat during the day?
Will i become just another shade of grey?
Will the pressure become too much to bare?
How much can i take before i just don't fucking care?
How much time can i put in,
Just to have it thrown back into my face?
Where is saving grace......

Time To Die
03:20
|
|||
I have no friends
I work a deadend job
I've got a empty heart
And I'm tired all the time
But none of that can stop me, or what i plan to do
I'll break down the walls and burn the rubble too
I'm sick of this shit
So the time draws near
It's time to grab my bag
Load it with my gear
I pull up to the theater, adrenaline about to overflow
Take a few deep breaths, then I'm kicking in the door
I look at all the people and what do you think i see
Blank dead eyes staring back at me
I'll just plead temporary insanity
Like a vile display of humanity
Throw a couple of smoke bombs, begin to open fire
Who's laughing now that its time to die
I can't help but smile
I have no friends
I work a deadend job
I have a empty heart
Now it's time to die!

Bleeding Out
03:48
|
|||
A waste of time, I lost my mind
Follow your dreams until you've left them behind
Your all grown up, shit out of luck
For all the time you spent, you just don't give a fuck
Anything can happen and it probably will
Try as you may, you never get your fill
The people you depend on, depend on you too
What little satisfaction you get from what you do
Keep setting yourself up, just to be let down
Your head is in the clouds while your feet are on the ground
Keep making up reasons why it will never work
The only ones that true is cause your a fucking jerk
Everyone was right, you never had a chance
Failure at school, work, and romance
Now I'm bleeding out and I'm going to die
I slit my wrists this time i won't be denied
I think I've had about as much as i can take
You tell me it ain't worth it, give me a fucking break

Gallows Road
01:51
|
|||
I hold your head down until you drown
I made sure no one was around
Embrace your final memories
Think of all your friends, romance, and your family
Now my job is done
Time to pack up all my shit and go on the run
Let them try to hunt me down
Oh no, i can see
All the cops and town folk are hunting me
I can't get caught, I'll get the noose
But she shouldn't of challenged my god damn rules
Now they're close, I'm going to hell
Now I'm caught and they spit and yell
But I'd do it again, i have no remorse
I'll come back riding on the devils horse
I will rise again
Death my new best friend
Soon you'll know my name
Just you wait
Walk me up those wooden stairs
I'm so scared but god don't care
Tie that noose around my neck
They pull it tight my vision fades to black
Pull the lever now I'm dead
They yelled, hang em from the highest tree in hell
Oh fucking well, I'll swing away, I'll swing away

One More Song
01:43
|
|||
Drink another sip and everything will be ok
Wash away the pain and thoughts of the day to day
Swallow down your problems and all your hopes and dreams
Numb your fucking head from all the nagging screams
Now that I'm buzzed its time to get things done
But first one more drink so everything's more fun
I start to get to work but now no longer care
I'll just keep on drinking until i nod and stare
And i don't care
Now that I'm a disappointment to myself and everyone
I want to eat a bullet but i can't afford the gun
Now is my chance to prove everybody wrong
And through these empty bottles I'll write one more song

Never Forget
01:35
|
|||
Fight violence with violence
Fight wars with wars
You can try to fight death
But your going to get yours
But we will never forget
But we will always be poor
And you will never respect
You just want some more
They're tumbling down
They're crumbling down
Skeletons in your closet
Unsavory moments you recall
Company's lost millions
Someones got to take the fall
This just in, let freedom ring
Pull the flag over your eyes once again
Crisis adverted and so was the truth
Another big story with no fucking proof
Read the paper and watch your TV
Believe what you hear and not what you see
Go to your job and do what your told
Someday your pockets will be full of gold
And we will never forget
But you will always be poor
And you will never respect
You just want control

Answers in a Bottle
01:45
|
|||
Tell yourself that your aware
I don't fucking care
Plant your roots in nowhere
And then grow old and die there
I gotta get out of here
Drown me in cheap beer
Put me behind the wheel
I just threw up my last meal
Ignore me all you want
I don't give a fuck
I'm king of the world
Any your shit out of luck
I look for answers in a bottle
You found them in suicide
It's so easy to give up hope
Try to see the other side
Now every spark of hope burns brighter than the sun
And i feel it ten times more when I'm drunk and having fun
You should of been there but you didn't fucking care
Put that fix in your arm and then you fucking died there

When You See the Light
03:30
|
|||
I cant fight this darkness, it surrounds me everywhere
It's as though everything i do, I am destined to fail
And there's just no future when you live your life this way
Lost in the desert, no hope of rescue, and this could be your final day
Your mountain to climb may seem to high
Your climbing a landslide from falling skies
And when your grey and old, would you soul be sold?
Or will your hands have rock hard callouses and pockets full of gold
Those dreams in which you strive
The reasons you survive
The few things you have that make you feel alive
Hold onto them tight, late into the night
You can't take them with you when you see the light
I live my life with no regrets, in fact i feel nothing at all
Sometimes i wish that i could take my head
And smash it up against the wall
And there's just no future when you live your life this way
Drowning at sea,feel the sinking sharp teeth,this will be your final day
Your mountain to climb, it may seem to high
Your climbing a landslide from falling skies
And when your grey and old, would your soul be sold?
Or will your hands have rock hard callouses and pockets full of gold
Those dreams in which you strive
The reasons you survive
The few things you have that make you feel alive
Hold onto them tight, late into the night
You can't take them with you when you see the light

Daily Ride
01:38
|
|||
I was waiting for the bus and i peaked inside
Three sickly people on their daily ride
My fist begins to clench, my skin begins to sweat
It's happening again, I'm taking no more bets
One whispers not to do it, But i scream to go to hell
Now i got the attention, Now their all on edge
Here comes my moment, it's my time to rage
I dash across the street, reaching for my blade
Straight down to hell!
I try to look back down, but the voices start to yell
Drag those sorry corpses straight down to hell
There's so much blood, your flesh i can taste
I begin to slash as a smile cracks my face

Feed
02:01
|
|||
Stew before you think
Your brains are in the sink
You try to wash them down
With the rest of your last drink
Break down to your bare bones
Follow your instincts because your alone
Find those few things you need
Find those few things and feed
I'm like a whiskey bottle
Tipped over on the floor
Someone sucked the life from me
And stumbled out the door
Now all that's left of me is resting in the trash
With the rest of the broken bottles, the rubble and the ash

See What God Did
02:55
|
|||
Reduced to a city of dust
A mere shadow of what it once was
Your choked up by your disgust
You bottle it up because your alone and you must
But see what god did
Took the water away when you were thirsty
Here's a great big hole to dig
And a thousand of restrictions you'll never need
Still hear tales of the pearly gates
Another twist of the knife of fate
You perched and starved on your knees
As the stars lay down their history
But see what god did
He went and made you so what am i supposed to do
Here's a mountain to climb, you'll never reach the top
You will just run out of time
See what god did
I wonder who yours is

Pipe bomb
02:33
|
|||
I made it in the basement all by myself
And i got a couple more for everybody else
In my hands lies their fate
My fingers on the button and I can't wait
Hundreds of people on their daily routine
They have no idea that it's a crime scene
Women and children are the first ones to die
A grave separation of husbands and wives
Body parts flying all through the air
Chaos, disorder, confusion, dispair
The news van arrives, the stories they'll tell
The cops flash their badges, I'll blow em to hell
It's my crowning moment, my finest hour
I built the pipe-bomb now i have the power
You might of thought that this was the end
I'm back in the basement to do it again
Pipe-bomb

The Deal's Done
01:37
|
|||
Here I am knocking on the devils door
Cause i can't take it anymore
I'm sick and tired of the day to day
I'll make a deal but there's a price to play
Now I'm damned but I'm no fool
With this power I can rule
My destiny is mine alone
I rule this world on my own
The pain, the anger, your misery
Keeps me going through eternity
The blood, its flow, your bleeding heart
I just can't wait to tear you apart
I tear into your cavities
I begin to laugh as you bleed
Oh my god what have i become
I made a deal and now it's done

So Long and Farewell
02:07
|
|||
To whom it may concern, this is the last thing from me you'll see
Before i eat a bullet and enter my eternal sleep
Now i'll explain to you all my reasons why
I brace for death and prepare myself to die
I'm sick of brainwashed people just waiting for their end
Looking for a afterlife that we all know is just pretend
But ignorance is bliss or so i hear them say
Enjoy your hollow lives because i can't wait to see my grave
I'm trapped
I'm trapped
I'm trapped within myself with only one way out
I'm trapped within myself with the barrel in my mouth
Why live in a world filled with war, murder, and disease
While rats in suits are pulling all the strings
The rich get richer and indulge in their greed
While the poor get poorer and die begging on their knees
I can't work this day to day as my hopes & dreams pass me by
Earning just enough to float along and believe the lie
To all my friends & family, I'm sorry, but I'm not
It's all your shit that finally set me off
Now i'll pull back the hammer and away i go!

Disarray
02:22
|
|||
I've been fighting all day long just to keep the demons at bay
Just so i can live to fight another day
The battle wages on until its bloody end
Will we make it home to see our loved ones and friends
The daily grind, the daily trend
No where to run and no one to depend
I gotta break out, i gotta break free
Don't want to fall victim to your sympathy
The sun goes down and the stars come out
And the bottle opens up
Nurse my wounds and take a breath and fill my cup
I know tomorrow brings another day of war
Drown my sorrows in the night until i hit the floor

Sunday Morning
01:35
|
|||
You've got nothing to forget your life
Temporary suicide on your back you just lie
And except your faith
He pulls out as the tears roll down your face
No time to wish to hold onto
No one on your holiday would come to see you
The dead will never rise again
Early Sunday morning you looked into the mirror
Bright shiny blue skies and inside it was god that you feared
You swore it was the last time
You let the sky inside
You swore it was the last time
You made it the last time
