Tracks



01. The Enemy

Confines me its all that I see
Sickness keeps you following me
Keep it inside, all that is sharp
Hold it inside, all that is dark

Tear
I'll shut you up

Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy

I thank you for making me feel
Make me feel like I want to kill you show me you're evil inside
Now won't you just curl up and die

Tear
I'll shut you up

Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy

You make me
You make me hate
You make me
You make me hate you

02. I'm The One

Living in the moment
Forgotten and repeated
No I cannot be that one
No I cannot be beaten

I'm the one

I don't want you
I don't need you
With closed eyes I see right through you
I was crawling
Always falling
You don't know what I have lived through

No I am not a rich man
No I am not a bitch
I know you made one mistake
This is my life
You cannot take it

I'm the one


I don't want you
I don't need you
With closed eyes I see right through you
I was crawling
Always falling
You don't know what I have lived through

Automatic
Termination
Self-destructive
Revolution

Bring it down
To the ground
I'm unchained
Not a slave

I'm the one

03. Start A War

Sliding spinning
Turn around
Feel my heart pound
Motor screaming
Sliding down
Got to turn it around
Danger nowhere
By myself
I burn the thrill
Claw my way out
Right now
Got to try to get out

I'll start a war with it
I'll start a war with it
I'll start a war with this fucking emotion

I'll start a war
Against you
You're one of them
You call yourself
A victim
But you're at it again
I've felt stranger
Paradise
You made me kill
Now I'm far out
Right now
Got to try to get out

I'll take it all
Give me some more
I'll take it all

04. Pieces

I found a peice of what I want to find
I got a taste of what's on the outside
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
Breaking me inside

I got
Not yet
Smash my fucking fist

My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
So far, so near, so hard, so clear
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
Too far to go, too high, too low

Killing me inside
Take a drink forget
Chemical passion
Drowning my defect
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
All that is perfect

I got
Not yet
Smash my fucking fist

My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
So far, so near, so hard, so clear
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
Too far to go, too high, too low

Frustrated, frustrated...

05. Dirthouse

My dirthouse
Watch it happen from the box
Mind wanders
Dirty dirty word
My dirthouse
This is where it all comes down
Look into my eye
You feel my skin, its dirt

Drive me wild
Remember when you blew my mind?
Cut through me
Living in the dirt
These dogs are curled up in a little ball
These dogs are freezing their asses off

Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own

Open the box
See whats inside
You make the call
Sick of it all again

Tear me down
Pushing on my every nerve
Scares me
I hope I don't get burnt
Look closer
Look into my dirty mind
Feeling sick inside
My blood has turned to fucking dirt

06. Skinnyman

My little girl
Where are you?
My fucked up world destroyed you
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now I just go on without you
Twisted inside, six miles high
I rehearse how to say goodbye to you

Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker

Wrap it up tight
Emotions are distorted
It's no surprise
Nothing alive
All hope has been aborted
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now I just go on without you
Twisted inside, six miles high
I rehearse how to say goodbye to you

Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker
Inside I'm dead
All used up
God damn I miss her

As my skin turns yellow
I forget this hell
As the skies are bruised and the rain comes down
As my face turns pale
Try to deal with these thoughts
At the end of it all, I still miss you

07. Just In Case

Keep me around, waiting behind glass
In case you need, I'll be your piece of ass
Pretend to want me, string me along
Break glass if needed, you can make me crawl

'Cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep

I was strung out for such a long, long time
Now I own myself, yes I am mine
No longer will I be your just in case
No longer your shit do I need to taste

'Cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep in the ocean

I don't wanna be your just in case boy
I don't wanna be your just in case
Oh no

08. Set It Off

Wait every hour of every day
Played light, played hard
Had to go my way
I feel like death wearing a disguise
Can't catch my breath
From all this noise

I want
I'm fucking bored
Give me a new found sensation
Take it, take all the pills
I'll try anything to get me off
Come on
Kicked in the ass
Why do you tell me I can't?
Fake it, I cant go on
Give me anything to set it off

I bite your tongue
Watch with keen eyes
I found the gun
Nervous excitement
Go on and touch it, you just might like
I sip your poison one last time

My confidence is all that's left
Under this veil I count the minutes
I'm growing weaker
Search for a glimmer
Pulsating sounds come blaring out
You may be right
My mind is gone
I'll try anything to set this off

Set it off, anything to set it off

09. I Want To Fucking Break It

This one's for the assholes
This one's for the freaks
This one's for the stupid fuckers, trying to keep me incomplete

They can't take me outside
They can't take me down
They can't take my thoughts 'cause I will smash their face into the ground

I want to fucking break it

Feel this anger building
Feel this blow your mind
Feel this break the silence
I can't keep my hate pent up inside

They can't take me outside
They can't take me down
They can't take my thoughts 'cause I will smash their face into the ground

I want to fucking break it
I want to crush you from the inside
I got no time to fake it
I got no time to waste with your kind

Take this for the last time
Take this for release
This one's for my enemies
You know who you are, fuck off please

I want to fucking break it

10. Night Terrors

In time I'll get this out of my mind
Where am I?
I can't see
I fear for my life
Fear of this fright

They haunt me and they taunt me
Try to relax, let it happen
My hopes turn to crystal matter
Watch them shimmer as they shatter

Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead?
I can't tell, it feels so real

Remember what you once said?
Every passing fragile moment is another chance to turn it around
I want to try to work it out

Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead?
I can't tell, it feels so real to me

Get out of my mind
Get out of my head
I wish you were dead
I can't take it
Get out of my mind
Get out of my life
I'll curse you tonight
I just can't take it anymore

11. Otsego Amigo

Evil inside
Leave death behind
Into the night
Otsego life

Holy shit, start to run
Look out fuckers, here he comes
Now he's back from the dead
Here to start the shit again
Don't try and get into his way 'cause you won't like the price you'll pay
Party down, run away, you'll be dead either way

When he comes, give your drink
You'll get use to his rotting stink
He'll show you a time as well
In the end you'll go to hell
You see the filth, you see a wretch
You want it all, but there's a catch
All your life, all your dreams
Here can hear all your screams

Evil inside
Leave death behind
Into the night
Otsego life

Otsego amigo

Hurt the ones you loved the most
He'll make you turn white as a ghost
Frightening beyond belief and now your life is filled with grief
With his bony hands of death he'll choke you till your final breath
Now you see, now you know, your evil friend of otsego

Otsego amigo

12. My Damnation

Time to take control
It's harder than you know
Feel the muscle twitch
When you let it go

Feeling primitive pounding in my head
They will never know
Better left unsaid

Always the same and I didn't know you were taking what's mine I can see it show through
Waiting to break me 'cause everyday it's my damnation

Take another step
All that I have left
Things that could have been
Haunting me again

Set it my own ways
Make it through the day
Nothing more to lose
Nothing more to say

Always the same and I didn't know were
Taking what's mine I can see it show through
Waiting to break me 'cause everyday it's my damnation

Always to blame you, you crucified me
Leave it behind I can't take this hating
I'll make it go away and everyday it's my damnation

Go ahead, you throw the dirt, you tried to make it hurt me
Everything, everything
Everything, breaking me

Always the same
Always to blame
Always the same
Over and over it's my damnation
