Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!
Bring it! You don't understand me And you probably never will (probably never will) A tendency to self destruct And a soft spot for the filth A hair trigger temperament A switchblade for a tongue (switchblade for a tongue) I'm a walking one-man-genocide Black belt in corrupt Everything I touch turns to ashes Falls away, it falls away Everything I touch turns to ashes It slips right through my hands Love me, hate me, isolate me Everyday that I'm alive Strait up, mentally unstable You don't have to like my life I'm a jinx, a curse, some say "the worst" I'm a savage, rabid beast (savage, rabid beast) Been called so many fuckin' things It doesn't affect me in the least (NO!) I've stolen, lied, been crucified But I don't regret a thing (don't regret a thing) I'm an egocentric masochist With a sadist's point of bleak Everything I touch turns to ashes Falls away, it falls away Everything I touch turns to ashes It slips right through my hands Love me, hate me, isolate me Everyday that I'm alive Live to prove you wrong, it's easy When your heart is filled with ice Chapters in my life define me Changed me into this deprived Strait up, mentally unstable You don't have to like my life [Solo] Everything I touch turns to ashes Falls away, it falls away Everything I touch turns to ashes It slips right through my hands 02. The Way Of The Fist
Break this shit down
Zoltan open the sky You want it, you got it Everything you needed and more You said it, I heard it Careful what you wish for Deleted, defeated Everything you've ever been No mercy, it's the way of the fist Strapped with rage Got no patience for victims Sick and tired of the whole fucking world I don't remember asking you About your imperfections You might win one battle But know this, I'll win the fucking war End of the goddamned road - LIGHTS! Step to me, step to me motherfucker Zip your lip, you've run out of time Step to me, step to me motherfucker Talk the talk now, walk the damn line Deserve it, you earned it Got yourself a fucking war Believe it, you need it Face down, on the fucking floor I hate it, can't take it Wanna break your fucking bones No mercy, you faggots Should have left it all alone Strapped with rage Got no patience for victims Sick and tired of the whole fucking world I don't remember asking you About your imperfections You might win one battle But know this, I'll win the fucking war [Solo] (Crash and burn) 1, 2, fuck you - RIGHT Step to me, step to me motherfucker Zip your lip, you've run out of time Step to me, step to me motherfucker Talk the talk, walk the damn line Step to me, step to me motherfucker Shut your face, it's your turn to die Step to me, step to me anybody Cut the shit, your ass is mine! I don't remember asking you About your imperfections You might win one battle But know this, I'll win the fucking war 03. Salvation
Go!
Right! Disgusted by your weakness You have no right to live To know you is to hate you But your life's yours to give You monkey see, you monkey do You're always doing what they tell you to You're such a puppet on a string You don't get it I won't bow to something That I've never seen Can't believe in something That doesn't believe in me I'm not blood of your blood I am no son of your god I've no faith in your fate Still I find salvation You think you have the answers To every last detail In your eyes you're the victor In mine you've all but failed You monkey see, you monkey do You're always doing what they tell you to You're such a puppet on a string You don't get it You monkey see, you monkey do You're always doing what they tell you to You're such a puppet on a string You don't get it I won't bow to something That I've never seen Can't believe in something That doesn't believe in me I'm not blood of your blood I am no son of your god I've no faith in your fate Still I find salvation Still I find salvation Still I find salvation 04. The Bleeding
Cries
I remember when all the games began Remember every little lie And every last goodbye Promises you broke, words you choked on And I never walked away It's still a mystery to me Well, I'm so empty I'm better off without you And you're better off without me Well, you're so unclean I'm better off without you And you're better off without me The lying The bleeding The screaming Was tearing me apart The hatred Deceiving Disaster It's over Paint the mirrors black (to forget you) I still picture your face And the way you used to taste Roses in a glass dead and wilted To you this all was nothing Everything to you is nothing Well, you're so filthy I'm better off without you And you're better off without me Well, I'm so ugly You're better off without me And I'm better off without The lying The bleeding The screaming Was tearing me apart The hatred The beatings Disaster It's over As wicked as you are You're beautiful to me You're the darkest burning star You're my perfect disease The lying The bleeding The screaming Was tearing me apart The hatred The beatings It's over Disaster The lying The bleeding The screaming Was tearing me apart The hatred The beatings It's over Disaster It's over now... 05. A Place To Die
It's days like this I wish that I
Wish that I had stayed asleep It's times like these that Make it so difficult to be The light at the end, the crack in the sky There's no promise for release No way for me to get away And all I'm trying to do is breath Searching for something more Searching for something right Searching for a sense of clarity Searching for a place to die Days like this I really wish I really wish I wasn't me It's times like this that make it hard Makes it hard to fuckin' see No light at the end, no crack in the sky Everyone ends up deceased A life like mine makes a man Turns a grown man to a flea Searching for something more Searching for something right Searching for a sense of clarity Searching for a place to die Piece by piece I slowly fade away I slowly drift apart I see a different world Closing in on the future Sorry to be so cynical But it's all I know Piece by piece I slowly start to change I slowly start to change It's days like this I wish that I Wish that I had stayed asleep It's times like these that Make it so difficult to be No light at the end, no crack in the sky Everyone ends up deceased A life like mine makes a man Turns a grown man to a flea Searching for something more Searching for something right Searching for a sense of clarity Searching for a place to die Searching for a place to die 06. The Devil's Own
The Devil's own
Why?! Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be? No matter what I've done You've always criticized me Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be? When it's said and done Will you remember? Slap on the wrist, smack in the face The family tree Gave me a name and nothing more Neglected seed, why? It's because of you I'm broken It's because of you I'm dead inside I never asked to be here It's because of you I'm godforsaken I never wanted this It's because of you I'm dead inside Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be? No matter what I've done, You've always criticized me What did I do wrong? What was I supposed to be? When it's said and done Will you remember, me? A happy home, a fairy tale A broken dream Gave me a life, then turned away Killed everything, why? It's because of you I'm broken It's because of you I'm dead inside I never asked to be here It's because of you I'm godforsaken I never wanted this It's because of you I'm dead inside I die! Fuck! You! Father, bastard I'm the Devil's very own Mother, know not Just who I've become Father, hate me For being all you're not Mother's baby I hate what I've become I hate what I've become I hate what I've become It's because of you I'm broken It's because of you I'm dead inside Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be? No matter what I've done You've always criticized me Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be? When it's said and done Will you remember me? 07. White Knuckles
Fuck it all!
Sick of being sick and tired Sick of understanding Tired of feeling sick to my stomach Demons inside command me They're saying crush it, break it, smash it Fuckin' kill 'em all! Laugh as it falls away I won't dodge another silver bullet Just to save a little face I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions How many people really care? How many will be standing? I'll light the match, the flame, the fuse, the bomb Rescue the world from slavery I wanna torch it, burn it, scorch it Fuckin', stomp it out Laugh as it blows away I won't eat another rotten apple Though I've grown to like the taste I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions I want you to hurt, want you to bleed I want you to look beyond your own face Past your infections I'm taking back control with my knuckles Taking back control with my knuckles I'm taking back control with my knuckles Taking back control with my knuckles [Solo] Smash it, burn it, break it, kill 'em all I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions I want you to hurt, want you to bleed I want you to look beyond your own face Past your infections 08. Can't Heal You
The deeper you get
The farther you fall down The closer I get The more you dissolve You're lost inside Your pale addictions Bury you With the demons in the ash Can't heal you, don't want to 'Cause you can't save your fucking self Can't heal you, don't need to 'Cause you won't save yourself You are the one who made the decision Stuck in a prison, shattered and broken I am the one who expected to heal you Save you from drowning in your endless nightmare Blessed be The disillusioned The banished misfit And the cursed hollow son Can't heal you, I don't want to 'Cause you can't save yourself Can't help you, don't need to 'Cause you won't save yourself [Solo] We're taught to perish But fade away Become the haunted and die as slaves Can't heal you, I don't want to 'Cause you can't save yourself Can't help you, don't need to 'Cause you won't save yourself Can't heal you, don't want to 'Cause you can't save your fucking self Can't heal you, don't need to 'Cause you won't save yourself 09. Death Before Dishonor
To the haters, the takers, the liars
All the vultures and the bottom feeding scum The FCC, the FBI and every tin God With a badge and a gun You talk and talk, you preach and bitch But your words don't mean a thing You get what you give, you give what you get Just the way it's always been I choose death before dishonor I'd rather die than live down on my knees Bury me like a soldier, with my dignity! You imitate the ostracized Put your head beneath the sand Your cup it runneth over Must be rough to live so grand You reap what you sew, you pay what you owe Unless you bathe yourself in greed You rob and you take, your world is fake There's no honor amongst the thieves I choose death before dishonor I'd rather die than live down on my knees Bury me like a soldier, with my dignity! Fuck! You're self-righteous, self-pretentious Your ways are not for me You're deluded, so confused Your world I dominate I choose death before dishonor I'd rather die than live down on my knees Bury me like a soldier Bury me! (Bury me!) Bury me! (Bury me!) Bury me! With my dignity! 10. Meet The Monster
It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe

Or are you stuck in black and white? Hope I'm on the list of people that you hate It's time you met the monster that you have helped create Boo!

It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin' Well there's nothing you can say to me now And there's nothing you can do to stop me It's hard not to be a menace to society When half the population is happy on their knees You've pushed me one too many times I'm sick of all of the fiction, we're gonna settle it You've pushed me one too many times I'm sick of all of the shit, I'm here settle it 'Cause I can't take it anymore I refuse to live this way It's not that I don't care enough It's not that I can't see It's everything inside of me That won't let me be you It won't let me be you It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin' No, you ain't nothin' And you'll never succeed I know you think you're special But you ain't nothin' But you ain't nothin' 16. Stranger Than Fiction
It's stranger than fiction
How you've decayed It must be so lonely Lost within your ways You're born alone, you die alone The rest is yours to fill the gap The world goes on without you here Adjust or just collapse Is this what you wanted to be Alone standing by yourself Is this all you wanted to be Or was that a cry for help By yourself, by yourself, by yourself Verbal grenades, you throw inane I can't believe you'd stoop so low Of all the things you took away I miss my mind the most Is this what you wanted to be Alone standing by yourself Is this all you wanted to be Or was that a cry for help By yourself, by yourself, by yourself Is this what you wanted to be Alone standing by yourself Is this all you wanted to be Or was that a cry for help Is this what you wanted to be Alone standing by yourself Is this all you wanted to be Or was that a cry for help It's stranger than fiction How you've decayed It must be so lonely Lost within your ways |
