Tracks



01. Bullet Proof

I don't care what you think, it means nothing to me
Your opinions are useless words, annoying usually
So you think you had me down, guess what surprise surprise
In the air I sense the fear and I see it in your eyes

What you say is what you choose
It's a game you're gonna lose
It's not a weapon you know how to use
Say what you will it's not the truth
I've heard it all I'm living proof
After all this tIme I'm bullet proof

Don't think that I'm not aware of all the things you've said
So damn cool, above it all, I'm grateful when you're dead
My mistake I guess its me, but I thought we were friends
The color yellow fits you well, and the message that it sends

I've been thrown under the bus
And I still feel it
Are you jealous, are ya much?
Cause I can see it

So now you know just where it stands, between myself and you
Shut your mouth you little punk, cause you know what I'll do
You can try to hide yourself in your world of cool
The rest of us can see the truth, you pathetic little foo

02. Dead City

Rain forever, darkened skies
Hopeless is a way of life out here
No one ever sees the sun, got a future on the run in fear
The walking dead they lurk the streets,
The whores and damaged industry of night
Morbidly they carry on
No one's home, the lights are on
This place is where death comes to die
We're livin here in Dead City
We're livin here in Dead City
Eternal gray and soaking wet.
The homeless man has paid his debt to her
Mother Nature held the cards
The river feeds but not to ours, you'll learn
The monster of the corporate world
Destroyed the dream, the everyman in sight

No one's home, the lights are on
This place is where death comes to die
We're livin here in Dead City
We're livin here in Dead City

It's the end of everything we knew
Dreams are gone the monster stole them too
This is not the place that I once knew
It's the end, in front of you
It's the end of everything it's true

Theres no way of livin in this place
A slow slow death staring you in the face

We're living here in Dead City
We're living here in Dead City
We're living here in Dead City
Don't want to die in Dead City

03. Generation Nothing

Generation nothing, walks a crooked path
Generation nothing, never coming back
Got no dreams just plans and schemes and things to never tell
Generation nothing lives in hell

I'm just a damage case who just found overdrive
Another chance to be alive
I'm just a man in space who's learned waste his time
Living a life barely alive
Forever doing time

Generation nothing has got itself to blame
Generation nothing, is just a video game
Lives a life of idle bliss, got a gun and never miss
Generation nothing slash your wrist
I'm just a man in space who's learned waste his time
Living a life barely alive
Forever doing time

04. Noises In The Wall

Like a creeping shadow moving through the room
No one else can see it, I sense impending doom
Plugged into my mind somehow, it haunts me all day long
Like a strange religion, the children marching on

I hear the voices, they're calling me back
Oh God what could I have done
Something's left over, I hear the call
Forever I'm living with noises in the wall

When I played with fire I never felt the burn
Now I feel it everywhere, the devil takes his turn
The darkness held the promises, hiding from the dawn
Like a strange religion, a children's marching song

I hear the voices they're calling to me
What do they want with me
Somethings left over, I hear the call
Forever I'm living with noises in the wall

And still I wear the chains
Of sins that still remain
My knees won't bend to pray
Still it's got its hold on me

Playing games with the enemy, brings to life your darkest dreams
When you know what it really means
It's now too late
The creatures of the night you'll find, soon to become shadowblind
You won't even realize
You've started to die

A fools game with no winner, a soul of black forever
First he'll be an angel of light
It starts gnawing at you, always never leaves you
Now that you have opened the door

Tried to leave it all behind so many times before
Thought it all was just in my past
Still it keeps scratching and scratching at the door
These things won't leave me alone
It's wrapped itself around me now like a filthy coat
With sleeves that are far far too long

And they know what you fear, it's what's drawing them near
Another tormented soul to steal

Something's left over, I hear the call
Forever you'll be living with noises in the wall

05. Jump The Gun

There's no other place to run, and nothing new under the sun
Don't we hear the tolling of the bells
I thought we got beyond all this, with marching and the angry fist
Still we stand up shouting what the hell

Like rats in a cage, with uncontrolled rage
You lie to my face with a smile
The message was lost and we pay the cost
Of keeping your evil alive

Thy Kingdom come, you jumped the gun, you jumped the gun again
Thy Kingdom come, you jumped the gun, you jumped the gun again

Don't tell me it's a peaceful faith, I see the devil in your face
While you're killing in the name of God
Police yourselves is what I say, prove it or just go away
Your bloody hands are all you really got

This living hell, sometimes it's hard to tell
You've been deceived
Don't you point that thing at me

06. Suiciety

Dreaming that you're feeling that you're falling and it's a long way down
Right before you hit you shudder before you hit the ground
The edges are frayed and laid into place stalling time escapes your brain
The slightest sign of an un-kept mind they tell you you're insane

You pay for sanity
In this suiciety

Feeling control a limitless flow fading absolutions slow
Flood the veins with purple haze total mind control
Into the groove a permanent move crazy the jacket fits you well
Scribblings on your inner eyelids gibberish from your cell

You pay for sanity
In this suiciety

What are you now trying to sell us
The new pill I need to survI've
I didn't know I was dying
It's now got control of my mind
The cost has become so much greater
Than anything I've paid before
I've lapsed into total dementia
Room with no windows or doors

07. Scream

Like a loaded gun
Aimed at everyone
Trying to get somewhere before your time is done
The grinding never ends
It wears you down and then
Chews you up and spits you out and starts again

Like a torture that's only in your head
Want to crawl out of my skin
I cant forget all the things that you said
How the hell did you get in

Screaming like a mad man that no one ever hears
Running at the speed of light while I'm standing here
You had your nasty hooks in me but I'm on to your game
Crazy but now I'm completely sane

This train is off the track
And theres no going back
This time I will see the other side of black
Tried to smash me down
I'm coming back around
You'll get what's coming to you never to be found

Like a torture that's only in your head
Want to crawl out of my skin
I cant forget all the things that you said
How the hell did you get in

Screaming like a mad man that no one ever hears
Running at the speed of light while I'm standing here
You had your nasty hooks in me but I'm on to your game
Crazy but now I'm completely sane

08. Hits Keep Comin'

Walk into a distant room bare walls speak loud and clear
You left no shadows for me to see can't believe that you're not here
Your missing face the bitter taste I long to be inside
But hurtful words left you disturbed so you left it all behind

All of the reasons why you did not stay
And all of the reasons before
Take all your baggage and put it away
You keep knocking at all the wrong doors

And the hits just keep on comin'

Mistakes are made apologies few and you always place the blame
You can't control the things you do you're a monkey with no name
I can't believe the tapestry of lies hang on the wall
One day exposed we all will know and we will watch it fall

All of the reasons that you did not stay
Were all of the reasons to go
Take all your baggage and put it away
You keep knocking at all the wrong doors
No more excuses and no foul play
You had your fill of it all
I couldn't change it
I'm going insane
Now I just stare at the walls

And the hits just keep on comin'

09. Close To The Bone

The bills I can't pay it's the same everyday
All of my life I've done what I thought was right, the way it should be
But deep in the night when it all just comes to light, of how it could be

Can't find that gold mine
I'm sub prime
And living too close to the bone

I'm just a wreck and I'm pacing the floor
The voices are growing too loud
I need a fix just to get me through this
The cause of this problem is your endless lies
Lies only you can believe
Your death is the fix that can get me through this

Then comes a time what just what you thought was right is something different
But deep in the night when it all should come to light of what it could be

10. The Media Horse

Mechanical waste is all we offer we suffer the taste then eat some more
Look for bare space we'll place an add no matter what it's for
The visual leaks into the after the retina bakes a greenish glow
The human touch lost to man made waves the propaganda show

Is the remote slitting your throat
The channels just fly away
Easing your pain numbing your brain
It's TV tI'me

Let's begin
Just push send
And now we're the horse
Let's watch it again

Is there a way to burn the motor is there a way to set things right
To much info a new world order pray for the light
How many eyes must burn with anger before the screen breaks and slowly dies
Take a long break our souls recover in tI'me for a new ride

Is the remote cutting your throat
The channels just pass you by
Easing your pain numbing your brain
It's drama time
