| NEW AGE SLAVES
Life goes on, spreading the disease, going to extremes,
Coming to you, hiding away in your dreams.
You can't play the part, you don't have the heart.
Just let it go and don't let it rip you alive.
It's rippling, breaking, crippling, Lord do you see it in the way?
Let it go, ju |

When did you decide how we can live our lives?
Face all of your lives, complete and realize.
This, it's never gonna leave, it's never gonna change.
If you want it, it's right in front of your face.
Yes, you're gonna bleed.
Yes, you're on your knees.
You're a little bitch and you never believe.
Now we can release, now we can unleash,
Just a little piece of our demons inside.
Can you feel the wait? Can you feel the hate?
Can you feel the edge of just what's to come down?
It's twisting, changing, shifting, stepping up to kick you in the face.
Burn those bridges, cut those stitches up, and throw it all away.
When did you decide how we can live our lives?
Face all of your lives, complete and realize.
Can you feel it inside? It's just a matter of time...
5 OR A KIND
Lay down, sinking
let it go, let us begin
you can push me backwards
I won't serve your master
this is my decision, so brace yourself
Never satisfied, there's no compromise
the hell inside we live this
we wont be denied, we wont ever die
the ties that bind wont end this
never satisfied, never compromise
we will never compromise
On course, break through (we'll break through)
still alive (we're still alive)
so fuck you (so fuck you)
can you feel the pressure
is this pain or pleasure
this is my religion, so hear me now
Never satisfied, there's no compromise
the hell inside we live this
we wont be denied, we wont ever die
the ties that bind wont end this
never satisfied, never compromise
we will never compromise
There's nothing we wont conquer
there's nothing we wont conquer
there's nothing we wont break
there's nothing we wont conquer
there's nothing you can take away
there's nothing we wont conquer
there's nothing we cant take
there's nothing we wont conquer
there's nothing standing in the way
One, two, three, four
You can push me backwards
I wont serve your master
this is my decision, so brace yourself
Never satisfied, there's no compromise
the hell inside we live this
we wont be denied, we wont ever die
the ties that bind wont end this
never satisfied, there's no compromise
the hell inside we live this
never satisfied, never compromise
we will never compromise
TELL ME NOW
Where is the answer and where is the game
and where is the solace
you seek in this your season of pain
and where is the future and where are the signs
and where is the truth you believe on
this the last day of your life
now say goodbye
So tell me now
how can we survive - when our world is broken
we're burned and crucified - when the lies are spoken
the light can't break through
This is the ending and this is the time
and this is the day of our judgment
look up to that hole in the sky
can you believe it and can you deny
and can you hold on to your life
as it just passes you by
now shut your eyes
So tell me now
how can we survive - when our world is broken
we're burned and crucified - when the lies are spoken
the time stops again
Tell me now how to make things right
come wipe these tears from my eyes
tell me now how to make things right
come wipe these tears from my eyes
How can we survive
when our world is broken
we're burned and crucified (crucified)
when the lies are spoken (lies are spoken)
how can we survive (lies are spoken)
lies are spoken
lies are spoken
and time ticks away
tick tick away, tick tick away, tick tick away
IT'S ABOUT TIME
I never saw the profit, I never saw the fame
but I can see the faces and there living in my dreams
you people make the moment
you people turn the tide
this is the reason that we're here and still alive
Yeah it's about time, it's about time
it's about time - we wrote this song for you
it's about time, it's about time, it's about time
we wrote this song for you
I could not see the future
I could not see the change
but I can see the reason and its staring in my face
you people sing the sorrow
you people change the view
make the connection cause
you bleed for us and we bleed for you
Yeah it's about time, it's about time
it's about time, we wrote this song for you
it's about time, it's about time, it's about time
we wrote this song for you
For you we take the burden
and for you we take the pain
for you we learn the lesson
and for you we fan the flames
for you we sing the sorrow
and for you we come alive
for you we tip the scales
and for you we turned the tide
this is for all those who live down in the basement
and this is for all those
who are trapped underneath the pavement
and this is for all those
still believing after all these years
and this is for all those
who are still standing after the smoke clears
this song is for you
Yeah it's about time, it's about time
it's about time - we wrote this song for you
it's about time, it's about time, it's about time
we wrote this song for you, it's about time
we wrote this song for you
RELAPSE
This is smothering
when nothing changes - unsure, uncured
I'm almost gone
I am suffering now I feel I've gone too far
falling apart and I am lost
So saddened, I feel so helpless
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
So empty, I feel like going
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
An affliction, so broken down and aching, shaking
I'm all alone, an addiction, my own mask is broken
there is no hope I can't go on
So saddened, I feel so helpless
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
so empty and I feel like going
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
Why, why, why, why, why, why
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
so saddened, I feel so helpless
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
why'd I give my life away
and why'd I give my life away
ANXIETY 101
I feel weak and I can't sleep
I'm still wasting, I'm still tasting this place
I'm still waiting, contemplating
Why I lie
Awake, wake, wake
lie awake, wake, while I lie awake
wake, wake, lie awake
wake, while i'm lying
Sometimes I need a break
Cause it's over and over revolving around me
that I can't catch my breath (it's all the same)
sometimes I feel the weight
like the weight of the worlds on my neck
its so hectic that I can barely make it through the day
day, day, through the day, day
Shut me down and turn me out
all this bleeding, I'm still feeling ashamed
can you please just leave me be
and let me breath again
Sometimes I need a break
cause its over and over revolving around me
that I cant catch my breath (it's all the same)
sometimes I feel the weight
like the weight of the worlds on my neck
its so hectic that I can barely make it through the day
Give me another way, give me another way out
(How can I let go)
give me another way, give me another way out
(How can I let go)
give me another way, give me another way out
(another way out)
(How can I let go)
give me another way, give me another way out (out)
give me another way out (out)
give me another way out (out)
give me another way out
Sometimes I need a break (need a break)
cause its over and over revolving around me
that I cant catch my breath (it's all the same)
sometimes I feel the weight (I feel the weight)
like the weight of the worlds on my neck
its so hectic that I can barely make it through the day
day, day, through the day, day, day
through the day, day, day
through the day, day, day
ALASKAN THUNDERFUCK
Please lend us your ears and eyes
for we can be free in this the season of our discontent
unlawful are we for we seek the forbidden fruit
we seek the forbidden truth
the storm is coming
and the tide is high and so are we
we are wide open
acceptance is not as powerful as submission
so we smile in face of the enemy
smile in the face of adversity
eyes glazed under a half lit world
we grow, we move. we explore the unknown
reaching towards the answer to our self's
we are free to die, exhale and fly, into the sun
Raising, floating, changing (?)
makes you ?
shaping leaves you waiting
So face yourself
so face yourself and see
the ugly truth that lives underneath
so face, so face yourself
so face yourself
so face yourself
????
There no denying reason
there no denying purpose
follow the sun, follow the sun
there no denying reason
there no denying purpose
follow the sun, follow the sun
there no denying reason
there no denying purpose
follow the sun. follow the sun
follow the sun, follow the sun
follow the sun. follow the sun
follow the sun. follow the sun
follow the sun. follow the sun
follow. follow
So face yourself
so face yourself

CUT iN HALF
Bothered and handcuffed
a prayer for sweet release
cause I know this pain
is just the beginning
Lie awake
counting sheep like falling rain drops over me
over myself when my heart stops beating
as I
Break down
this is crashing - down around me
I expose myself and now I
break down
I keep asking
would you leave me down and out
I'm all alone again (again)
In solitude
completely and totally
fixated on you
Lost inside
everything is incomplete
the cost is high
all the pain you gave to me
?????
driven by my tendencies
so simplistically sadistic how you push me to the limit
losing myself
Break down
this is crashing - down around me
I expose myself and now I
break down
I keep asking
would you leave me down and out
I'm all alone again
I'm all alone, empty inside
there are no happy endings for me
there is no place die
force me back to the beginning painful
pushing me back to the start again
Break down
this is crashing - down around me
I expose myself and now I
break down
I keep asking
would you leave me down and out
I'm all alone again
