01. Beautiful And Strange

I've got a splitting headache
You ask me for nothing
I'm on my wagon rolling
Like a freight train
Another darkest day
Only 10 hours away
Gotta new brew swimming
Beaten by the bottle

So beautiful and so strange
Scatter all the pieces
The puzzle will remain the same
So idiot so deranged
Crawlin through the tunnel
Lost inside the maze

Tremble like an earthquake
That shifts inside me
The crucifix I'm dragging
They'll do the hard way
They wont forget me
The walls are bloodstained
As my will unravels
Broken like a bottle

So beautiful and so strange
Happy little pebbles lost inside the pits and space
So idiot so deranged
Winding through the tunnels
Lost inside of
Lost inside of me
Lost inside of me

You stole the matches
You lit the fuse
You let the boiler swell
I tie the noose on you

So beautiful you are beautiful
And so strange but not as strange as me
So idiot like a force inside me
So deranged locked inside my cage
Lost inside of me
Lost inside of
Locked inside of me
Lost inside of

02. 1000 Mile Journey

What's a life steal the claim I took the match and lit the fire.
Pain for the pain bad country,
Built by the kid that was done by the father, the father

Now come and walk with me a journey of a thousand miles
It starts with one step
Plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
The blood of life which can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls burying the bones

Deep is the hole trouble always call I've bit the dog and I've beat The master bastard
Eye for an eye to bit bold
Lost all control that was done by the mother the mother

Now come and walk with me a journey of a thousand miles it Starts with one step
Plowing out the rows and bleeding of the rose
The blood of life which can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls burying the bones

I'm not the feeble man arms outstretched In a distant land Wonders where it all went wrong
He's followed us too long.
Another fallen man that failed to make a stand.
What have I done wrong? Left her all alone.
The voice inside my head, is it me or an alien.
Throw me down the stairs since I just don't care anymore.
I cant take the wind. I cant fight the storm anymore.
I don't have the will I cant beat the storm anymore.

A journey of a thousand miles it starts with one step
Plowing out the rows and bleeding of the rose
The blood of life which can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls burying the bones

The hurricane tires like calm before
The storm darkening the shore settling the score
The blood of life which can start tornadoes don't you know
Harvesting the souls burying the bones

03. Scream With Me

Ever feel like dying,
Ever feel alone,
Ever feel like crying,
Lost child in a store,
Ever feel life pushing,
Shoving you away,
Ever feel like breaking down,
Funeral in the rain

Feel like slipping away,
Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head thats full of rage,
Better believe it,
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire,
Drivin by the pain,
Better believe it

Ever feel like lying,
Down inside a grave,
Listen to the eulegy,
A buyer of the hate,
Ever dance beside the devil,
Taste the barrel of a guage,
Ever pull the trigger,
The light begins to fade,

Feel like slipping away
Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head thats full of rage,
Better believe it,
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire,
Drivin by the pain,
Better believe it

I've asked you for forgiveness,
I've asked you for your grace,
I've asked you for your blessing,
I've asked that I be saved,

Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head thats full of rage,
Better believe it,

Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head thats full of rage,
Better believe it,
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire,
Drivin by the pain,
Better believe it

Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head thats full of rage,
Better believe it
Drivin by the pain,
Better believe it

04. Closer

Here's to the closing door
Here's to just one more
Here's to all the damned
Here's to the bloodshed

Cant leave it alone, wont let me forget
Rip off the bandage, and tear out the stitch
Fed like a pig, off the shit in the dish
Shrouded in burlap left for dead in the ditch
So callous so cold, colors expose
The death of love as we know it
The death or trust in us let go

It's getting closer all the time.
I'm slipping farther all the time.
I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm feeling so weak inside.
I'm feeling better all the time. I'm slipping farther all the time.
It's getting harder all the time, feels like I'm losing my mind.

Tied to the tracks and cursing the name.
Whiteout the thought, stare blank in the rain.
Lethal and used, cast out and worthless.
Befriending the foes, deception commence.
So callous so cold, colors exposed.
The death of life as we know it.
The death of mirth in us let go

It's getting closer all the time.
I'm slipping farther all the time.
I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm feeling so weak inside.
I'm feeling better all the time. I'm slipping farther all the time.
It's getting harder all the time, feels like I'm losing my mind

Little pigs little pigs let me come in, not by the hair on your Chinny chin chin chin
Then I'll beat and I'll pound and I'll bash your fuckin brains in
Here's to the splintered door
Here's to you no more

It's getting closer all the time.
I'm slipping farther all the time.
I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm feeling so weak inside.
I'm feeling better all the time. I'm slipping farther all the time.
It's getting harder all the time, feels like I'm losing my mind

05. Heard It All Before

Past times are for laziness and past time is gone.
Can't live in it, Can't live with it.
Hard times for the cryin type are like a wrecking ball
Hard as a stone, can't let it penetrate.

You've gotta believe in yourself, with your mind, with your guts, With your heart, make a stand.
A stand against fools that will steal it away,
Rip the heart from your chest, and devour it.

I ain't sellin what they're wanting to buy anymore,
No more never
I ain't listen because I've heard all that bullshit before,
So many times before.

Eyes of a dog will wander for food, like a scavenger.
You've gotta own it, gotta defend it.
You've gotta believe in the hunt, in the prowl, in the search,
In the kill. I'm the alpha man

I ain't sellin what they're wanting to buy anymore,
No more never
I ain't listen because I've heard all that bullshit before,
So many times.

I've, I heard it all before, I've heard it! I've. I lived it all before,
I've lived...

No more
The parasites sucking the life out of me,
They're like cannibals
Bleed you for anything, bleed you for everything.

You've gotta believe in the strength, of your mind, of the soul,
To the bone.
What is real.

I've, I heard it all before, I've heard it! I've. I lived it all before,
I've lived...
No more I've, I heard it all before, I've herd it!
I've, I seen it all before, I've seen it!
Heard it.
Lived it.
Know it.
Believe it.

I live for no one, I'd die for no one.
I've, I heard it all before, I've heard it! I've. I lived it all before,
I've lived... No more

I've. Heard it, seen it, lived it. I've. Done it, know it, believe it. I've. I've heard it all before, I lived it!!

06. I Can't Wait

I am the plague, I am the rot
I am the bitterness.
I am the war, I am the death,
I am the crucifix.
I am the sacrifice at the end,
I am the fall of man.
I am apocalypse, I'm the debt list,
I'm your last breathe.
I am sin.
I am dancin'.

I can't wait until it's over.
All done and gone.
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all.
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway.
They say that dead men don't pull triggers,
Well prove 'em wrong.

I am catastraphe, I'm conflict,
I am warfare.
I am fatality, I am the wound that's in your head.
I am the dark, I am the fear,
I am the orphan lamb.
I am anxiety, I am the grave,
I am nothingness.
I am hate. I am lost faith.

I can't wait until it's over.
All done and gone.
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all.
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway.
They say that dead men don't pull triggers,
Well prove 'em wrong.

I'M EMPTY!

I can't wait until it's over.
All done and gone.
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all.
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway.
They say that dead men don't pull triggers,
Well prove 'em wrong.

07. Beyond The Pale

Instruments for surgery, amputate the cause
Misery of humanity is carving through us all
Emptiness resolves and falls with
Instances of perjury, lies flowing out like piss
Darken like the fall of day until we seal our end
Until they seal our end is nearing

Oh,
I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men that complicate it all,
So beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, I'm so sick that I wanna spit the little men
Lying to us all, so beyond the pale
That I'm rippin' like a chainsaw

Illustrate the tyranny, building up the walls
Each life represents a stone, as foundation crumbles
We all fall down with words that speak of blasphemy
With every breath of sin, damned until the fall of man
The day we reach our end
Until we reach our end is nearing

Oh,
I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men that complicate it all,
So beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, I'm so sick that I wanna spit the little men
Lying to us all, so beyond the pale
That I'm rippin' like a chainsaw
Oh,
I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men that complicate it all,
So beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, so beyond the pale, complicate it all, so unacceptable

They make us all bow down, they keep us all locked out
It's time that we speak up, it's time that we speak out
Put the bombs away, put the guns away
Put the bombs away, put us all away

Words fall on deaf ears, signs for the blind
Words fall on deaf ears, our worlds collide

Oh,
I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men that complicate it all,
So beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, so beyond the pale, complicate it all, so unacceptable
Oh, feel sick, oh I'm nauseous, oh fucking sick, unacceptable
Oh, so beyond the pale, complicate it all, so unacceptable

08. All Talk

Where will you be when it all falls down?
Where will you be when it all comes back around?
Where will you be at the end of our days?
Just following the footsteps let the liars lead the way

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway

Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?

Who will you blame for the servile days?
Who will you blame for the hurricanes and tidal waves?
Who will you blame for the riots and the anger?
And just cryin in the corner wishing you would have had a say

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway

Like a monster hides in your closet
It's creeping closer but we don't care
Are we all insane?
If it's just a game well I don't want to play

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing,
I can talk about problems, I can talk about sin
I can talk about trial, but what do we really win?
I can talk about forgiveness, though I'd probably be condemned
Or I can talk about...

09. Out To Pasture

Like a worm, boring through, cinders, and rock, and ash
I think I need a broom, to sweep away the day
Cleanse us of the shame we're in, I'm in
Like a stray, with the mange, worms and lice and matted
Think I need to bathe to wash away the day
Cleanse us of the palate rid me of the taste

You keep leading me, you keep driving me
You keep pushing me out to pasture to graze
Can't keep strangling, can't keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me, climbing a clock tower
You keep telling us, you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening, you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me, so I'm loading my gun

Like a bum, sifting through, dumpsters
And trash and garbage, think I need some food
I've starved away all day, cleanse us of the hunger we're in, I'm in
Like a snake sliding through, sand and dirt and desert, think I need a tomb
To blacken out the day, veil me from the sunlight keep me in my place

You keep leading me, you keep driving me
You keep pushing me out to pasture to graze
Can't keep strangling, can't keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me, climbing a clock tower
You keep telling us, you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening, you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me, so I'm loading my gun

It seems to me, there are so many things
They don't want to share now doesn't that seem strange
It seems to me, it's all for one but doesn't it seem strange
When the one's for none, not you, not me, no one

Doesn't it seem strange, that we don't know a thing
Doesn't it feel the same as the cattle out to graze
Don't ya think it's strange, that we can't find our way
Don't you feel the same
Doesn't it seem strange, that we don't know a thing
Doesn't it feel the same as the cattle out to graze
Don't ya think it's strange, that we can't find our way
Don't you feel the same

You keep leading me, you keep driving me
You keep pushing me out to pasture to graze
Can't keep strangling, can't keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me, climbing a clock tower
You keep telling us, you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening, you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me, so I'm loading my gun

10. Burn The Bridge

No integrity, no sincerity, no credibility, no regret, no principal No ethic, no honor makes no fucking sense,
No inside to the future, no thinking and no respect,
No authority, no veracity, no honesty, no penitence, no pride, No power just a criminal,
No morals

Your greed you'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy,
You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony,
Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath,
I'll just live my own life

So violent, so dissident
No more requiem so I lament
So simple to revere to respect down and left for dead
So forget my forgiveness you've all failed to protect
No Persistence, Insistence my will my stubbornness
Consume. Devour. Like a Criminal, no standards

Your greed, You'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy,
You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony,
Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath,
I'll just live my own life

Before I saw the light I crawled through darkness my whole life So empty
Before I found my life I embraced the death that's coming
So Certain,
Drawing Near,
Its coming closer it's approaching

I know the signs
I've got the number
I got my vision
I know the motion
My eyes forever opened

You'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy,
You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony,
Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath,
I'll just live my own life

11. Dead Inside

I don't feel good: Just an ordinary day
I don't care much:about what you think

It all washes away in the end: Under skies so gray in the end (We're all)
Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, it's just my way.

I've seen enough: No more hurt today
All damage is done: No more life this way.

It all washes away in the end: Under skies so gray in the end (We're all)
Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, yeah.

Every single one:from every single way
All they do is drag me down, and I know it'll never change.
Every drop of blood: flows right down the drain
And though I spilt it all for you, you never appreciate,
Never appreciate (We're all)

Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, it's just my way.
