Underhill 02:00
I have seen the dead under the hill Looking up at me with bloody eyes And they come all night Yeah, they come all night I have been a voice for many reasons But now I see the truth lies with the dead They come all night Yeah, they come all night I have lived a life without a purpose And I have been a pawn for truth and lies They come all night Yeah, they come all night One of self without devotion One more strand to cut and set me free Up and out from far away To where I bled for truth decay And I won’t see thee anymore Until we meet under the hill

Hangman 02:08
I was born to lose so hard it isn’t funny I never had a friend because a friend is just an enemy waiting to happen I don’t care anymore I’ve been beaten down so many times I’m getting comfy on the floor I wipe the blood off and I take my meds ‘Cause without them I’d be curled up under my bed One night, when the feeling’s right I’m gonna climb it up and hang it out I don’t want salvation I just want to be alone Nothing here is sacred I don’t live here anymore There’s nobody I hate in this world more than myself But there are those who’ve been managing to come pretty goddamn close So if you’re looking for somebody’s day to ruin, I’ve got nothing to lose and it’s a very good day to die ‘Cause I’m tired of trying and lying And pretending that everything’s okay and I’m not gonna kill It plays like a movie in my head I see me take ‘em out I don’t want salvation I just want to be alone Nothing here is sacred I don’t live here anymore I don’t want protection I just want to speak some goddamn truth And I don’t need you I’m already in the noose Hell before me and behind Hell to hold me Hell so kind I don’t want salvation I just want to be alone Nothing here is sacred I don’t live here anymore I don’t want protection I just want to speak some goddamn truth And I don’t need you I’m already in the noose

Underdogs 03:17
Out as far as the dust has blown The underdog who stands alone He’s a broken prophet seeking no refuge from his war Abandon, complete, without compassion As he walks away from the world Away from our reach The pain of no love prevails The pain of no love is crushing Deep inside the heart of a good man The pain of the world has killed So we stand for the dead For the forgotten For the tortured true that we never knew And we’ll live with a purpose, united Just to destroy like no other before that has fallen A society that is built on greed We ain’t ever turning back Fuck you Yeah when push comes to shove, I’m a mother fucking tank In pursuit, fucking hot Covered in blood, I’m a shank Sinking in to the bone Gonna bring the pain on Make ‘em die in the mud Now the pigs are fucking gone Bring the battle on Bring the battle on and on and... Bring the battle on Bring the battle on and on and on So we stand So we see the lies We count the lives we’ve lost So we stand for the dead For the forgotten For the tortured true that we never knew And we’ll live with a purpose, united Just to destroy like no other before that has fallen Your society that is built on greed We ain’t ever turning back Fuck you

As It Is 02:45
One blurry moment One chance to get it right Concentration, impossible to achieve A hand reaches out and grabs me Barely afloat and I’m caught in the rope that was thrown out half-assed on a prayer Let me sink down Way down under Don’t know if I’ll ever make it over there Don’t wanna know if I’ll be here tomorrow Stitches and dives You know you’re alive when pain is all you feel When I’ve been scrapped, I get my boots strapped on for the road ahead goes on for now No matter what it is now, everything is going to be alright From angst to apathy Self-loathing homicidal rage I’ve gripped so tight my hands are bleeding Lobotomy would make me feel alright Last place in competition I’ve got no ambition to make it in your world Your design is fundamentally screwed A month on the streets would do you good Stitches and dives You know you’re alive when pain is all you feel When I’ve been scrapped, I get my boots strapped on for the road ahead goes on for now No matter what it is now, everything is going to be alright Though I may never understand Let me go Let me down Let me fall to the ground I will rise I will rise No comprehension for failure, no compromise As sure as the sun in the sky

Solution 02:43
The belly of the beast is large in dying colour With the two-tone grey to blackness in the hearts Of the folks without a hope to keep them helpless It’s a state of mind and safety for the precious business Keep us down, the prime directive Everybody stays paralyzed by fear There won’t be any problems You and I could be a fucking problem With the strength of mind over matter Lay it down for freedom Lay that new solution down Lay that new solution on me I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help Melee on the floor, you’d think somebody just dropped a quarter People shoving, people pushing buttons making bombs rain down Terminator, cold container, full of brains, skyscraper Ambition to gain too much is way too much but everybody wants one too I want one too Everybody’s got one and I want one too The monkey little children wearing suits It should be cute, but all I wanna do is string ‘em up and decorate a new procession Lay that new solution down Lay that new solution on me I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help Lay that new solution down Lay your new solution on me I know, it’s solid gold That check don’t fucking bounce There's no hope at all if you don't believe in me There's no hope in Hell if I don't have faith in you It's nothing but a man made machine It can be broken down I believe in you If you believe in me then let's get started Lay that new solution down Lay that new solution on me I know, as Hell unfolds, we’re gonna need your help Lay that new solution down Lay your new solution on me I know, it’s solid gold That check don’t fucking bounce

Operation: incognito On the front porch and back behind the shed No move was mistaken Hell libido, moistened egos Touching fronts that blended to nowhere But outside the bedroom... White lightning, light striking White lightning Still frightening until it comes Then it’s gone forever Infiltration, bog mosquitos, poison oak And all the while we laughed like gas tanks exploding Smooth destruction, red-light pastures Our hearts soared the night we never said a word like ‘tomorrow’ White lightning, light striking White lightning Still frightening until it comes Then it’s gone forever Out the window, down the old pine No second best ever got me gone so fast As if by miracle... White lightning, light striking White lightning Still frightening until it comes Then it’s gone forever

O.F.D. 01:06
When I was young, I would sit in the sun I’d be thinking and dreaming the whole day away Now I just lay in the cracks of a world where the high and the mighty took my sun away Rise into the streets, fuckers Ride into the Armageddon ‘Cause I’ve got a bat and a heart full with anger I know that ain’t much but it’s all that I’ve got Fuck this arrogant high-society Fuck the government with anarchy Fuck the cost of living Fuck all the bane of the working poor Something for nothing, I’ve seen once or twice But nothing for everything is more like it is Good people falling in deeper The Reaper is calling and he’s coming right to your door We’ll fight and fight and won’t stop fighting We’ll claw and bite ‘til they run to the hills When we get together, no matter the weather We’ll bring more of hell than these Fascists can take Get this shit down right fuckers These are our human rights mother fuckers Rise up and prepare to stand against the fucking pigs who’ve taken All that they can but the power’s in our hands I can’t wait to stand with you on Our Freedom Day

Calculations 02:30
Repetition and devotion It takes strength to carry on this way In the face of such a power We get shot down for the slightest twitch In the gutters, ‘round the towers There’s been talk of revolution In the gutters, ‘round the towers There’s been talk of rising up to... Freedom for the people meaning nothing left to lose Now we have had enough and so it’s time that we assume A battery, full charge Strangle at the roots Bring ‘em down, bring ’em down Tear their fucking system to the ground And then we’ll rebuild again Calculations, in a plan to, in a plot to bury our masters Invitation, participation will be rewarded with death And the knowledge of a contribution to the lonely and the nameless ones I’m a ghost in observation We’re the demons rising up to... Freedom for the people meaning nothing left to lose Now we have had enough and so it’s time that we assume A battery, full charge Strangle at the roots Bring ‘em down, bring ’em down Tear their fucking system to the ground And then we’ll rebuild again

Trying to spit it out, to spit it out The poison won’t forgive me To spit it out, to spit it out But it got into my brain hole Now everything seems different No time, no time Forgiveness dies and hate that was internalized now takes control I’m a bully, I’m a train I want your blood Like an eagle in the sky I want your blood Like chewing on a steak I want your blood Something awful in my mind I want your blood Throwing my love to the wind under pressure, pressure Making out to feel it again under pressure, pressure Planning to engage in the night under lovely darkness You’re the reason and the pleasure that I must take you I’m a bully, I’m a train I want your blood Like an eagle in the sky I want your blood Like chewing on a steak I want your blood Something awful in my mind I want your blood Soft fingers lose hold of my jacket, the leather warms As your life runs down and pools around my boots Your eyes meet mine for a moment And it is in this moment that I long to live in And it is gone forever It’s gone forever Withdraw, withdraw I’ve grown so cold now There is no turning back I’m a bully, I’m a train I want your blood Like an eagle in the sky I want your blood Like chewing on a steak I want your blood Something awful in my mind I want your blood I am the hollow of the night I want your blood More the victim than your soul I want your blood When I look into your eyes I want your blood In that moment I’m at peace

The Garden 02:51
Hey navigator, you've fucked up again I think we're in trouble and the bugs are closing in Operator, just give me a sign The sky has gone malignant and I fear that I'm losing touch I wanna get out, I wanna believe that everything I see here is just an illusion The signal has crossed the axis, there's no return The lights are blinking red And now I know the ship is going down forever The garden is nice I kick back and think about our destruction I close my eyes The sun is warm on my skin and I'm smoking From up the street, I hear a tune that takes me back to a troubled youth That was better than today where I say... Stop, then run again, along the alley shadows My fingers fumble for that thing, that thing I need, oh fuck, I lost it Mayday, mayday I'm starting to descend I didn't do it good enough They said I wasn't good enough Now I'm in the shit again The worms are closing in on me They want to get inside and fortify my indoctrination Doctor, doctor There's something in my head Please get it out, please take it out It wants to fucking see me die forever The garden is nice I kick back and think about our destruction I close my eyes The sun is warm on my skin and I'm smoking From up the street, I hear a tune that takes me back to a troubled youth That was better than today where I say die Is this even real? The weeds and vines that now cover the place where I once contemplated the possibility of happiness Put me in a body bag Fill it up with lye Put me in a body bag Leave me here to die The garden is nice I kick back and think about our destruction I close my eyes The sun is warm on my skin and I'm smoking From up the street, I hear a tune that takes me back to a troubled youth That was better than today where I say fucking die

Wake 01:42
The sun is up and someone’s crying And suddenly I can’t stop laughing for all the stupid looks I get You give me this one I guess it’s the best this moment has to offer I can’t say I’ll remember it Whenever the cannonball blows, I’ll follow in its wake Until the day I die and cherish my mistakes Nothing here is mine and I don’t wanna take I never lit the fuse Just follow in the wake There’s a lot of confusion going ‘round But if I think, I sink I’m not gonna drown with you I’d rather burn alone Morning comes too fast But I won’t wake you up ‘cause I don’t wanna know the pain I’m leaving Whenever the cannonball blows, I’ll follow in its wake Until the day I die and cherish my mistakes Nothing here is mine and I don’t wanna take I never lit the fuse Just follow in the wake The cannonball blows I’ll follow in the wake Until the day I die

Umbilical 04:08
How did it get so cold How did it get forgotten From a stream of gold to a field of rotten How did it get so lost When did it turn so silent Through the days so dark How did we seem so calm inside the violence For what’s wrong For that feeling For the present, unbearable For the cost For the blood thrown to the soil For everything For the loss For the blackness End in silence, in empty... Hung the new door up Mud the walls with care Blew the roof right off Took the lion’s share Red and yellow torn Under fractured heat On the window sill Parasites are feeding on a dead gift For what’s wrong For that feeling For the present, unbearable For the cost For the blood thrown to the soil For everything For the loss For the blackness End in silence, in empty... Once umbilical, now I wonder what will become of this regrettable, awful scene Slow motion explosion You’re the only one that I ever thought might have the key Through this field, I will sink under Remembering the truth Close these eyes, they’ve seen too much to hold on to this life without love
