My Life is a Freak Show
03:22
|
|||
|
We're all animals, we all feed from the same trough
We all live in the same house, all cut from the same cloth
We're all flawed, we're all fucked from the start
You think you're high above us, but I know exactly who you are
There before the grace of God
My life is a freak show, I got no place to go
You throw your weight around, you got a supply to choke
Raining boots on the floor, one of them on my throat
I'm pissing in your pot, I'm gonna fill it
Whatever fashion fits, hands covered in shit
My life is a freak show, I got no place to go

Shit Town
03:20
|
|||
|
Started out on all fours, murdered my way out
Wholesome folks got so much grief
If you don't know what it's like, then leave
Bores a hole inside your heart
Who'd know they be so frail
So don't look down
Hang your hopes on a nail
Gone are the days, I used to feel so free
You ain't coming round, Now you ain't coming out
Politicians take a piss,
As another kid gets hit, with a face full of lead
They say there's no way around it, no no no
There's no way around it, oh yes dead again
Oh another heartache, kids can't catch a break
You ain't coming round, no you ain't coming out
No you ain't coming round, my shit town
Go on brother, hold yourself together
There's a storm brewing in your head
Harbor your anger, don't climb up that ladder
and hang yourself instead
Go! OUT! SWEET RELIEF!
You ain't coming round, no you ain't coming out
No you ain't coming round, my shit town

Everybody Hertz
03:49
|
|||
|
It gets worse, it never gets easy
Throughout space and time, throughout eternity
All I ever see, turns on me
Another croaks, another goes passing
You know suicide has followed me all my life
That's why I try to hide
Everybody hurts, everybody hurts
It ain't easy
Everybody hurts, everybody hurts
It's a living
Please remember me, please
Now we're crawling out the gates of hell for you
So tired now, we often lose
Everybody hurts, everybody hurts
It ain't easy
Everybody hurts, everybody hurts
It's a living

New Neighbor
03:26
|
|||
|
See the sun beat down clearly in the sky
Dead oceans on the rise
They all want a good view of hell
Look at the buildings, they speak for themselves
On and on, ash to ashes
End to end
They all want a clean bill of health
Give them the earnings, split the wealth
They all want a way out, or dig in
On and on, ash to ashes
End to end
Heading home, to a world we don't know
On and on, ash to ashes
End to end
Who's your neighbor

Debt
01:49

|
DEBT
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the world pressed down on the crowd
DEBT
The armies have worlds to deplete
Good people at home are a dying breed
DEBT
Its growing higher, consumes everything
You want something, you lose everything
DEBT, you know my name!
We're all going down, there's no way out of here
I know I can't hide
The other side is way too high
DEBT, you know my name!

My Name is Hell
03:33
|
|||
|
It's another cold one tonight
Fireside, TV is on the fritz
You can't control your veins
You can't stave off another offering
Its heroin
You want it so bad, you can't get past me
Won't let hell win
Won't let hell win
Off to the race, a scar on everything
Be fine with the fantasy if you let me die with a dream
My name is hell, don't you know me so well
I ain't making it out of here, any fool can tell
Right out of the past you can't outlast
Won't let hell win
Won't let hell win
My name is hell, don't you know me so well
My name is hell, my name is hell

I know the wrath of God, like the tracings in my own palm
The wait, the wait, the wait is finally over now
We're worlds apart, I see a sickness in your heart
You're a puppet to me, I see them, I pull your strings
Ovation is key
The world is sick, I got a cure, but you'll have to pay for it
Oh every dark whim we'll make profit again
We're worlds apart, I know exactly where you are
Sit down, shut up, sit down, shut up
It's the word of God
Ovation is key
Oh every dark whim we'll make profit again

The Future
03:05
|
|||
|
The future came today, I hope it don't scare you
The world moves at a rapid pace, and there's hardly any room
All the ones riving in pain, search for asylum today
From the same old ritual
Hail the ships at bay, and wave them through
I got some bad news, oh I got some bad news
All the ones blinded by faith, there's no use
Sometimes I want to close my eyes but I face it too
Wait up, wait up

Who Waits
05:26
|
|||
|
The cloth stands in the way, walls you can't escape
and wounds have their weight, some you can't shake
But you want out, what you know now, you can't erase
Good days, always cursing you
So who waits, who
Head down, searching for penance now, you ain't finding it here
You were born in flames, forever in pain, seek fire today
Gods grace, always hurting you
So who waits, for heaven's sake who waits
Who waits, for heaven's sake who waits
It all ends this way, two hands in praise, waiting for you

Those were the days, everything was gravy
Come what may, there'll be some heavy lifting
Now my back is breaking, back in my day I could take a licking
Those were the days
I forgot how to spread my seed, how's anybody gonna remember me
I remember how we used to laugh, now it's time you can't get back
I remember how we used to speak, god damn I'm Mr. Dictionary
Time is wrapped in tragedy, behind my eyes is a world of grief
Those were the days
I made it out, everyone is crazy

Bored Again
04:50
|
|||
|
Bored again, staring at the ceiling fan
Drinking orange soda
And I'm bored again, I've never felt so alone
Wake me up when it's over
Oh in night time, we will find a way
I'm bored again
Boredom is a luxury, I'm willing to spend
I'll call it my own
I'm bored again
I did my best with a dead end
I'll call it home
Oh in night time we will find a way
In the shadowy distance, soon on the make
Oh in night time we will find a way
Oh in night time we will find a way
Through the whole of existence, you will not lose your place
Oh but in night time we will find a way
