My ears are blocked and
My head is pounding with the sound of disbelief
Are you suffering for inadequacies that
Help destroy what you preach
Your decadence is at arms' reach,
I'll tear these walls down with one scream
Your life's in ruins and it's all because of me
- Bad News
Every time I turn on the TV click to the news and I see is bad things happening
People dying and people killing
and everybody amplifying destruction and chaos all around the world
Every time I see it it makes my stomach curl
We've gotta make up for all the mistakes that have been made
and the way the media portrays the day
in the life of someone else as some stupid celebrity
- Broken Bones
[00:21.24]Touched by the hands that have murdered a million
[00:23.20]Unarmed patrons' fists raised
[00:24.50]They don't wanna listen to the bullshit being fed to them spoonful at a time
[00:28.74]When death can cost more than a quarter, nickel, and a dime
[00:31.50]Hand's up, questions are raised
[00:33.65]Another first-thing-in-the-morning-bombing
[00:35.21]These days they say there's so much to live for, I'm really not sure
[00:38.61]With all the shit that's going on, we're told to keep our heads up
- cut your teeth
It seems I’ve become a ghost
Where familiar faces start to fade
I’ll slash these tires and walk away
And I’ll call, on the next day off
Watch how long I can hold breath for
Look how blue how my face is, smile, shrug it off
Cut your teeth with good intentions
Your mouth with bleed, believe me
- Daggers
Take out the knife deep in my back
We'll drown here in my blood
It's either this or a heart attack
Spent our years lighting up the black
Corners of our love
Only to fall victim to your dagger
- Drown In Blood
It all got away from me this morning
Disappeared under my skin; a ghost, a sober warning
I know I'm growing cold
But I've long since lost the warmth that I'm longing for
I'll dig up every last one of my roots
Just to find they've rotted out, turning us all to half-truths
My heart is sinking quick
- Eulogy
The sun shows no mercy this morning
Im staring thin-eyed as the rolling ground comes to a halt
A heart once close has stopped beating
But its memory lives forever
And our blurry eyes will make some sense of this
You will always be remembered
You will be celebrated
- Hal Johnson Smokes Cigarettes
We've gone to all this trouble of tearing our hair out
Those shadows once oh so legendary have disappeared and fucking faded out
At the foot of these graves of our fallen heroes the feeling is fraudulent
As humiliation sets in
When all you've idolized is dead and gone, you'll realize you've won
When all you've built yourself up on has crashed and burned...
We're digging graves for old memories
- He Was A Jazzman
i see you gripping tight to the rails of your hospital bed
you move so slow
you say the pain you fell is too great to be inside your head
i know, i know
you move so slow
it don't mean anything to me
we start to die when we begin to breathe
but i'll keep scratching at your sympathy
- I am Abandoned
once again i am abandoned all hope is lost, what else is new?
and i can't go on thinking about it
how in the past you've failed so many times
i thought it would've been a wake up call by now
but i guess theres always something new you have to find out for yourself
so many lessons have been learned, so many bridges have been burned
into the back of our memory
- Liver Alone
I'll force these feet to move and I feel my liver bleed
Before the room explodes again
I smell, I smell your blood my friend
I'll stop at nothing to get some
Fill this dirty glass for the wrong reasons
Just stop and smell the stale stench wafting through the air
Let it wheeze right out of you
- My Hands Are Tied
Label me and instigate a fight
Sign your name on the dotted line
We'll complain about the bill of human rights
Stop me now, if you try I will only feed more lies
To the underbelly of a war we'd love to fight
The brouhaha of an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
- New Years Resolution
I hate to repeat myself but all I can do is ask the same old questions.
Life changes so much in the blink of an eye sometimes you've got to catch up with it.
Half a year spent in black.
Are we riding the tails of a heart attack?
We come and go, we're free to roam.
I don't think I'm ever coming back.
So go ahead retrace your steps yet again.
- Picking At My Brain
Picking at my brain, need a place to stay
Open your door and let me in
Don't wanna stand outside no more
Will you lose? Will you win?
Think of the things that could happen
Where you stand, another useless fashion
Stupid actions on your behalf
Second guess yourself, get yourself arrested
- Quality Television
[00:45.50]today we're in a state of blasting bullshit through the air waves
[00:47.60]wasting money, precious time is lost over the network race
[00:50.05]i can't turn on my TV without seeing someone who looks like me
[00:52.12]"it's a look into their world" they say, i don't give a shit anyway
[00:54.20]everyday life televised everyday for people to see......
[00:56.82]
[00:57.26]how someone who signed up for their life on TV is living now
[00:59.61]i hate the sound of "reality TV"
- Southwards
The feelings I had for this place once unknown
Remain as feelings I fear, rather than a place to feel home.
And while seasons keep dying I already stopped trying
To get emotions in line everytime your eyes hit mine
It's decisions I've made that caused both love and hate
For all that I am, for all that I am
For all that I'm not, for ways that I cut
- Tail Feathers
Suburban slums to numb the pain
These cities rust like everything
Your blackened heart now on display
All because you had to run away
run away, run away
Making eyes for all to see
your disguise is growing weak
