[The whole thing I think is sick]
{^v^} {02.(sic) [3:19]}
Break
[Here comes the pain]
Enemy - Show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything even if I can't handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Don't you fuckin' pity me
Get up
Get off
What the hell am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls
Let me fall
Fuck you all
Get a grip
Don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball
Fuck this shit
I'm sick of it
You're goin' down
This is a war
Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect
I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect
You jealous ass
Press your face against the glass
Suffer
Fuck this shit
I'm sick of it
You're goin' down
This is a war
I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine
You can’t kill me ‘cause I’m already inside you
Sick{^v^} {03.eyeless [3:56]}
Insane
Am I the only muthafucker with a brain?
I'm hearing voices but all they do is complain
How many times have you wanted to kill everything and everyone?
Say you'll do it but never will
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
I am my Father's son
He's a phantom
A mystery
And that leaves me nothing
How many times have you wanted to die?
It's too late for me
All you have to do is get rid of me
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
It's all in your head
It's all in my head
It's all in your head
I tried - You lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go there's a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesn't matter if I give a shit
It's shit that you gave me
Do you wanna feel pain?
Takin' my name in vain
Caring never felt so lame inside
Anybody else got pride?
Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe I'll reverse my ride
Who the hell are you?
Fuck you
Better suck it up ‘cause you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
I feel safe
Seems you’re saved
Look me in my brand new eye{^v^} {04.wait and bleed [2:27]}
I’ve felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed
Goodbye
I wipe it off on tile
The light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold
The hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can’t control my shakes
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud
I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?
Get outta my head ‘cause I don’t need this
Why I didn't I see this?
I’m a victim
Manchurian candidate
I have sinned
By just making my mind up and taking your breath away
Goodbye
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
And it waits for you{^v^} {05.surfacing [3:38]}
Fuck you all
Running out of ways to run
I can't see
I can't be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is doing me in
Fuck it all
Fuck this world
Fuck everything that you stand for
Don’t belong
Don’t exist
Don’t give a shit
Don’t ever judge me
Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape
Taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is doing me in
Fuck it all
Fuck this world
Fuck everything that you stand for
Don’t belong
Don’t exist
Don’t give a shit
Don’t ever judge me
And don’t you fucking judge me
You got all my love
Livin' in your own hate
Drippin' hole man
Hard step
No fate
Show you nothing but I ain't holdin' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain't a fucking thing you can do
Get this ‘cause you're never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be
I am the push that makes you move{^v^} {06.spit it out [2:39]}
Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
‘Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty
Man nearly killed me
Stepping where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll
You were dead from the get-go
Big mouth fucker
Stupid cocksucker
Are you scared of me now?
Then you're dumber than I thought
Always is and never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me
I'll smear ya
Think I fear ya?
Bullshit
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
It's gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity
Literal profanity
Hit me
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Maybe it's the way you spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realise
Step up fairy
I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome
You heard me right, bitch
I didn't stutter
If you know what's good - sit, shut up and beg brother
Backstab - Don't you know who you're dissing?
Side swipe - we know the ass that you’re kissing
Bigity-Biggidy bitch boy
Halfway hauser
I don’t hear shit ‘cause it keeps getting louder
Step up, and you get a face full o' tactic
Lippin' off hard
Going home in a basket
You got no pull
No power
No nothing
Now you start shit?
Well ain't that something?
Payoffs don't protect and you can't hide if you want
But I’ll find you
Coming up behind you
'Bout time I set this record straight
All the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate
Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools, and all the politics
Get your lips ready
Gonna gag
Gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
Bam - Are you sick of me?
Good enough – had enough
Fuck me
I’m all out of enemies
Fuck me
I’m all out of enemas{^v^} {07.tattered & torn [2:53]}
Kill Me
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning down
Tattered and torn
And I can't find a window
Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic
Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
The nerves you sever
Tattered and torn
Can serve you better
Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons
Tearing myself apart{^v^} {08.frail limb nursery [0:45]}
She lay as though she were in a trance
With her long eyelashes fluttering like she was dreaming
She said to him “I lie beyond the sea.”
And then all of a sudden her head dipped back and she vanished
Gone, gone without a trace
Gone
She’s never coming back
Do you know what it’s like to live with that?
No one knows what it’s like
The only one who knew me gone{^v^} {09.purity [4:14)]
Maze
Psychopathic daze
I create this waste
Back away from tangents
On the verge of drastic ways
Can't escape this place
I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes
I think I'm slowly dying
Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone hear me please
All I see is hate
I can hardly breathe and I can hardly take it
Hands on my face overbearing
I can’t get out
Lost
Ran at my own cost
Hearing laughter scoffed
Learning from the rush
Detached from such and such
Bleak
All around me weak
Listening incomplete
I am not a dog but I'm the one your dogging
I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please
Losing all reserve I am fucking gone
I think I'm fucking dying
You all stare, but you'll never see
There is something inside me
There is something in you I despise
Cut me
Show me
Enter
I am willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase?
Empathy
Out of my way
I can't die
Purity{^v^} {10.liberate [3:06]}
Liberate
My madness
[One of me]
[All of you]
Liberate - My madness
I just want to...
Section off myself
Put a wall up
What the hell have I done?
Keep the dog at bay
Survive by saving me
Values and the game
Not a fuck-up
Not a part of your lie
I am one
I am all
I'm above and beyond
Stand off of the shit
Back off or I'll spit
So soft you forget
[Your garbage in is garbage out]
You don't give a shit
I won't play the fit
Get off
Get on this
[Your garbage in is garbage out]
Liberate my madness
I am not ashamed
What is vital isn't always humane
You can break in vain
But you can't break away
Even in my face
Lotta bullshit
Not a lotta the truth
I can't see from here
But I can smell your fear
Saved
You're such a slave
I don't expect a name
You don't care
I wasn't witness
I can't be a part of a system such as this
Hard eyes glow right in my darkness again
With the sickness
Renegade sisters
Blisters
Salivate
Litigate
Liberate
Madness
Sadness
Fuck this
How long have I had this?
I don't need this
Outta my business
Insert
Engage
Betrayed
My god
Fraud{^v^} {11.prosthetics [4:58]}
Even if you run I will find you
I decided I wanted you
Now I know
I need
If you can't be bought
Tougher than I thought
Keep in mind - I am with you Never left out fate
Can't concentrate even if you run
You will be mine
Fucking you will be mine
I found you
Leaning out of an open window
You laughed
Our fingers clenched
Too perfect
Far too careless
I couldn't help myself - I just took you
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
[You brought it out of me]
Mistake
Better make yourself at home
You're here to stay
You won't bother me if you let me bother you
All the doors are locked
All the windows shut
Keep in mind - I watch you
Never leave my side
Never leave me fucker
Even if you run
What the fuck is different?
Man I knew this was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
[You brought it out of me]
Mistake{^v^} {12.no life [2:47]}
My freedom is best
Whole country's on house arrest
And everyone's a suspect
You can't feel the flow because you died
Face down on a "suicide"
The muthafucker's on self-destruct
Nobody guardin' your back
It's all a front
Save this
My rage is bliss
I’m taking names and getting pissed
Where's Chuck D when ya need him?
You ain't shit
Just a puddle on the bed spread
The maniac psycho
Cool J screamed the shit but I still can't believe it
Man it's funny that you scare me so
Just enough to fuck me up again and again
Hard life is hard as hell
Better back the fuck on up
‘Cause this is no kind of life
This is no kind of life
[I've got to get out]
It's no kind of life
This is no kind of life
[You can't blame me]
Can't be real no more
Your mask is skin and bone
Savor every flavor you got ‘cause it's not your own
Bad-ass at bat man
Forget about the battle it's the war we gotta win
Breathe
Ameri-cult
Breathe
One more
Seethe
Freak like you got a pair
Won't be my fault
When you're painted in the corner of a no-good life
This is no kind of life
This is no kind of life
[I've got to get out]
It's no kind of life
This is no kind of life
[You can't blame me]
I can't remember
I don't understand
Is it malice that makes you this way?
Carry it with you 'til someone forgives you
I laugh ‘cause there's nothing to say
You can’t begin to consider the palpable hate in the air when you’re near
None of us wonder what weather you're under
You're making it perfectly clear
Lights ain't on
Shit ain't right
Never had peace but I gotta fight
Can you look in my eyes while my back's against the wall?
Slash at my eyes
Surprise - you'll never get me
You're all reality and sound bites
And the freedom is never in plain sight
The feelings
The question
The price is too human for fucking sake
No kind of life
This is no kind of life
[I've got to get out]
It's no kind of life
This is no kind of life
[You can't blame me]{^v^} {13.diluted [3:23]}
I'm cold
I'm ugly
I'm always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie
It itches
It seethes
It festers and breathes
My heroes are dead
They died in my head
Thin out the herd
Squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again
Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today
Forget whatever happened
Every day I see a little more of overall deficiencies
I'm nothing short of being one complete catastrophe
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste on our way to bad omens
I decrease while my symptoms increase
God what the fuck is wrong?
You act like you knew it all along
Your timing sucks
Your silence is a blessing
All I ever wanted out of you was something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What you fucking do to me
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
[I haven’t got time for the living]
Gimme any reason why I'd need you boy
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimme any reason why I'd need you bitch
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
I see you in me…
I keep my scars from prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe
I've got to have an answer
Why am I so fascinated by
Bigger pictures?
Better things?
But I don't care what you think
You'll never understand me
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
Fuck{^v^} {14.only one [2:26]}
Pain
Made to order
I'm not the second coming I'm the first wave
Better get an army ‘cause the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar I'm the top of the shit pile
So stick around ‘cause I'll get to you in just a few
Step off the achtung
Get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself
Are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me
Totalitarian
The one and only muthafucker
Top of the world man
‘Cause I can't stand it
Planned it
Gonna crash-land it
In other words consider me branded
Another version of me
Another version of you
Both barrels - what you gonna do?
All I hear is human noise
You made your own fucking choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry
I can over die over time
Filthy hands
Stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch
Death is fine
Gimme mine
Only one of us walks away
Somebody explain this
You don't care ‘cause you don't exist
What the fuck is this another joke?
Reckoning{^v^} {15.scissors [8:21]}
I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open and let the air out
Three bugs
A pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had broke away my tear spout
As I lie there with my tongue spread open
A black widow had offered me a sweetheart tube
As I injected the candied heart that I selected
She said “Don’t hesitate”
“Just do what you have to do to me.”
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just ‘cause I have nerves don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red ‘cause I can’t feel
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time...
It's time
Someone inside me
Everyone against me
Everyone beside me
Clawing away the pieces
Scratching away the ashes
One more
Two more
Everyone wants more
One more
Two more
Everyone wants more
Inside the faces that I hide from you
I want to see you splayed before me
You are the only one that I would rather see before me
You want it
You need it
Tell me
I don’t want you to be anymore
I wanna die
I’d rather die
I wanna die
I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you
It is time{^v^} {++.eeyore [2:43]}

Laugh last
