1.	Everyone But You 03:39	lyrics	download
I clock out from my Hell at five And I despise my evening drive And if I make it home alive To what do I even arrive? Just a mess I call a home So I ring you on the phone Yeah, I think we both know what to do Take those pills and guzzle wine past the point of feeling fine Don't care what tomorrow brings, it's true Cause the past is history Tomorrow's no mystery The present is a pill, coated in blue I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you If you can hear this, don't dare cry Don't rack your brain, wondering why Just meet me where the angels fly Best thing we'll ever do is die Just agree to all these terms Turn the lights out, feed the worms You can gather every word I say is true Take those pills and guzzle wine past the point of feeling fine Don't care what tomorrow brings, it's true Cause the past is history Tomorrow's no mystery The present is a pill, coated in blue I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone but you I hate everyone
2.	Fed Up! 02:45	lyrics	download
Heaven's host are crying blood, these days Weatherman only predicted rain Life in an iron curtain's so much better than you'd ever think Please put some poison in my drink Everything is a lie Everything is untrue Everything is awry Getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you Misdirection dictates your refrain Spread it, like a virus, in your brain Omnipresence is a heavy crown for any human mind to bear And, as for me, I just don't care Everything is a lie Everything is untrue Everything is awry I'm getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you Everything is a lie Everything is untrue Everything is awry I'm getting fed up with you Everything is a lie Everything is untrue Everything is awry I'm getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you Getting fed up with you
3.	Good Grief 04:04	lyrics	download
I don't really know what you'll expect from this song I don't really care if all my words come out wrong Good Grief! You feel it! Stars before your eyes Staring at the sky And then it's gone Some swim through life, but you just drown You're dragging me down Dragging me down No sense in ever coming 'round You're just a clown Bringing a frown You may never know why you inspire every groan You may never see that, in your pain, you stand alone Good grief! I feel it Pounding in my head Got me seeing red And then it's gone Your eyes betray a vapid mind There's nothing to find Nothing to find And when you tell me I'm unkind I don't mind No, I don't mind You're just a hollow clone Lights on, but no one's home Can't wait to piss on your tombstone I don't really think you'll ever find what you want You'll just find another lucky group you can haunt Good grief! Who needs it? Happiness at last You're just a pain in the ass And now you're gone! Good grief! I feel it! Now that you are gone Nothing's going wrong And I feel strong Nothing is wrong Now that you're gone Nothing is wrong
4.	Cats Don't Care 02:36	lyrics	download
Cats don't care About your problems Cats don't care They don't wanna be bothered With your insecurities Your egocentric maladies Your social anxieties They glare at you and groan Cats don't care Cats don't care Cats don't care if you are feeling blue About stupid stories in the news They leave dead mice inside your shoes And hope, one day, you'll get a clue Cats don't care About anything you tell them Cats don't care You're never gonna sell them On the wisdom of your speech They'll tune out every word you preach Their little minds, you'll never reach They think you're just a bore Cats don't care Cats don't care Cats don't care about your broken heart And if your world should fall apart They're apathetic to your art Because they're pretty smart You You'll never learn Their respect Can't be earned Not by you No matter how you try Cats will turn a blind eye Cats don't care Cats don't care Cats don't care if you are turning blue They'll run and leap right over you To seek out better things to do Like find expensive things to chew Rather stalk some passing birds Than listen to your shallow words They think your friends are boring nerds Their interest will not be spurred Cats don't care about your lives And neither do I Cats don't care Cats don't care Cats don't care Cats don't care
5.	The Devil In Me 03:25	lyrics	download
Moonlight, on a Friday night, lights a path into the pines Cloven hoof on your Volvo roof, as I focus my designs Razor claws and shredded tires Your eyes widen, as your luck expires. They phone won't work out here Check it out, my dear It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me Claws out! This ain't no dream I'm gonna howl when I hear you scream Such fun! See you try to run, as I screech and take to flight Give chase! When you see my face, you'll be petrified with fright My wings are pounding and I'm feeling reckless I'm gonna scratch you out a ruby necklace Bury my teeth in your tender throat Babe, that's all she wrote It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me Your butchered body will be my feast Pleased to meet you! I'm the beast It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me Claw at your window in the dead of night. I'm only looking for a little bite It's just the devil in me It's just the devil in me And I don't wanna be free From the devil in me It's just the devil in me The devil in me And now, you'll never un-see The devil in me It's just the devil in me Just the devil in me No, I don't wanna be free Your butchered body will be my feast Pleased to meet you! I'm the beast
6.	Free For All 04:04	lyrics	download
I'm shaking, hands at my back Straitjacket, cut me some slack I feel an urge to attack Anything and nothing at all These doctors lie, to my face 'Bout getting out of this place I'll vanish, without a trace 'Cept the blood splattered on the walls Free for all! Scratching at the wall Free for all! Fight you, tooth and claw My only world is a padded cell I'm gonna break out of this living Hell Free For all! The whole of the law This world looks different, today All institutional grey People have nothing to say 'Cept for disingenuous lies You keep on running away I only wanted to play A new, and different, game One where I tear out your eyes Free for all! Scratching at the wall Free for all! Fight you, tooth and claw This whole world became a padded cell I wanna rip apart this living Hell Free For all! The whole of the law I gotta be free You mean nothing to me Just some prey I caught, who was to weak to flee Your world is only safe When I'm locked up someplace As if you're somehow worth preserving for the human race We got an issue Why don't they commit you? You'd be safely tucked away, where nothing bad can get you You can die there, bored and old and grey Save the freedom for the ones, like me, who wanna play Free for all! Scratching at the wall Free for all! Fight you, tooth and claw Free for all! The whole of the law Free for all! Scramble down the hall Free for all! Bouncing off the walls Free for all! Fight you, tooth and claw Free for all! The whole of the law
7.	Final Cut 03:54	lyrics	download
Life is Hell. It's a cell, for a spell Then it ends. It's just as well. Quarters on the eyelids Skeletal disguises, and All the pain, that I feel, isn't real So, it cannot be destroyed I need a distraction Carving out my passion and You won't ever know I won't let it show Long sleeves, in the Summertime Cutting pages from my mind, and You won't ever know I won't let it show Please hold your applause Until you see the final cut I resent anything that I feel Of which I was not the cause I feel incomplete So I will compete Redirect the effect with a peck From a single razor's edge Through a veil of pain Joy must look insane You won't ever know I won't let it show Long sleeves, in the Summertime Cutting pages from my mind, and You won't ever know I won't let it show Please hold your applause Until you see the final cut You won't ever know I won't let it show Long sleeves, in the Summertime Cover up some social crime, and You won't ever know I won't let it show Please hold your applause Until you see the final cut You won't ever know I won't let it show Wipe my sorrows off my skin As I bleed them out again, and You won't ever know I won't let it show Close your eyes, and look away From my final cut
8.	If I Kicked 02:18	lyrics	download
Well, you could call me a loser, and I may not disagree But then again, most everything I see seems pretty lost, to me I lose my phone, my sunglasses, my mind, and my housekey And let's not even begin to contemplate that lost money Can't you see You see I could lose my faith and lose my hope My jacket and my car I could lose my watch and wallet And my house and damn bank card Lose my friends and family At that, I'm quite adept But if I lost you Then I'd have nothing left Well, you could call me a quitter, and I won't put up a fight I tie a knot and contemplate quitting, most every night Give up on that notion, and take you into my arms If I quit you, just for a day, I'd lead myself to harm Can't you see You see I quit my goals and quit my dreams My family and my friends I quit figuring out if these means Are justified by ends I quit this dull reality Of dreams I am bereft So, if I quit you Then I'd have nothing left I wanna quit this life I wanna lose it quick You're all I've got And I never wanna kick I kicked my goals and kicked my dreams My family and my friends I kicked figuring out if these means Are justified by ends I kicked this dull reality Of dreams I'm still bereft So if I lost you Then I'd have nothing left Yeah, if I quit you Then I'd have nothing left Yeah, if I kicked you Then I'd have nothing left
9.	Final Scream 03:20	lyrics	download
Took a walk down a winding, wayward trail You caught my eye, like a lost, and holy, grail Could you sense me there, when you rain like Hell? Can you think outside this padded cell? Whoa Yeah Oh I will see you in your dreams I will see you in your dreams From your first breath to your final scream I will see you in your dreams I stitched my spirit to your life Whispers in your ear, all day and night Rapping on your wall. Disembodied sighs Looming hollows of madness, in your eyes Whoa Yeah Oh I will see you in your dreams I will see you in your dreams From your first breath to your final scream I will see you in your dreams It was nothing special that you'd done You could've been anyone It was just your destiny to go insane When you jogged past my forgotten grave I still see you in your dreams Pulling strings behind the scenes Draw you closer to your final scream I still see you in your dreams Slashing your mind at the seems I'm the ghost behind your screams And I will see you in your dreams
10.	Beat It To Death 02:46	lyrics	download
You should have known that horse was sick When it forgot its only trick You're all decked out. The crowd was there Can you guess what percentage cared? When you broke its legs and smashed its head You'd hoped to get a laugh Now you cart around a carcass and you'll Settle for a gasp Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death The rodeo brings up the lights As it does, damn near every night You oughta know when something dies The only crowd it draws are flies Now the maggots all assemble As the soul vacates the husk And the rodeo clowns pack their bags And run off in the dusk, while you Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death One final point to make to you I think we know what you can do I think it's time you got it through your little tiny head That even purebreds start to rot, the second you strike them dead Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it to death Beat it past the point of death Beat it to death Beat it to death Death
11.	I Will Remember You 03:54	lyrics	download
In my trail, you've heard sirens wail As I claim my score, again No one dares to count me as a friend Young and old, in the warmth and cold From peasants to the kings One dead end is where my road begins Years pass by, now, and so may I I'll see you, at the end I don't cry, knowing, in due time I will remember you Plagues and wars form my common chores And famine is my feast Bedside, I'm the shadow of your priest Robe of black, reaper at your back Just an usher among ghosts I've inspired every final toast Years pass by, now, and so may I I'll see you, at the end I don't cry, knowing, in due time I will remember you Over time, so many have died The faces start to blend In my line, there is no free time I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you
12.	Acid Rain 04:14	lyrics	download
When I was younger, I always felt a hunger To escape the crowd and play And, as I grew older, I got even colder As the world got in my way I don't wanna know about your thoughts And your big ideas And your pleasures You're a pain I just close my eyes Raise my head to the skies And I pray for you all To melt away Acid rain Melt this world away Acid rain Shower down today Acid rain Everybody prey Acid rain Was this scum away Melting in the acid rain Never felt connected. I flat-out rejected Everything you did or said Started as a yearning. Grew into a burning To see this world go dead I don't really care about your hopes And your dreams And your lives Please, spare me your repartee I just wanna see your flesh melt off As you're screaming While your veins give ground And spray Acid rain Melt this world away Acid rain Shower down today Acid rain Everybody prey Acid rain Melting in the acid rain Reigning on my throne, atop a pile of bones As channels run with blood Take me to the river. Let me dive right in her Blast the dams and let it flood Let my kingdom come Free from fools Free from tools Free from you and the sickness that you bred There will come a storm And the peace That we claim to seek Will arrive when you're all dead Acid rain Acid rain Acid rain Acid rain Ending all your pain Driving you insane Wash you all away Melting in the acid
13.	Reunion Show 02:54	lyrics	download
Hey there, buddy. Where you been? It's been ten years since you last dropped in Is that the wife who made you leave? The one who treats your youth like a disease Now we'll play you our old hits Take some time to reminisce Open up the door to our reunion show We'll forgive all past mistakes For as long as it might take To get us through the night of our reunion show Drummer flew in from Cali I saw him, briefly, yesterday And he stayed sober, the whole show Why couldn't he have done that, years ago? Now we'll play you our old hits Take some time to reminisce Open up the door to our reunion show We'll forgive all past mistakes For as long as it might take To get us through the night of our reunion So many here Others chained to life. Some only ghosts Now, is it weird That they're the ones I'd wanna see the most Hey there, buddy. Thanks a lot. I'll toast your family, with this parting shot Then follow you, right out the door 'Cause things don't seem the same here, anymore Yeah, we played you our old hits Took some time to reminisce Now, we'll close the door to our reunion show We forgave all past mistakes For as long as it did take To get us through the night of our reunion show
