1. THE WEDDING DRESS

She wore her wedding dress to the funeral
She said the dead don't rest for the beautiful
As she pulled her groom out from the ground
She gives him one last kiss before they lay him down

We cannot lack conviction
Our frame of mind was lived not lost
This dream is nearly over
But the end is where we meet and wait to dream again

Back in there losing ground
Where were you, not around
I know it's not a simple day, a simple life I'll live

She wore her wedding dress to the funeral
She said the dead don't rest for the beautiful
As she pulled her groom out from the ground
She gives him one last kiss before they lay him down

We'll never know the meaning
Our eyes can't look beyond our own fate
But meaning isn't purpose
And now it's you that begs for the life
You were willing to waste

Back in there losing ground
Where were you, not around
I know it's not a simple day, a simple life I'll live

She wore her wedding dress to the funeral
She said the dead don't rest for the beautiful
As she pulled her groom out from the ground
She gives him one last kiss before they lay him down

One last kiss
One more fuck
One last kiss
One more fuck

And now i must admit it's irrational
That the dead don't rest for the beautiful
As she pulled her groom out from the ground
She gives him one last kiss before they lay him down


2. FUCKED IN THE AFTERLIFE

Love and life travel to the ground
Don't you feel a little better now
Now I'm tired and a little scared a little under prepared
But we're already there

All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife
All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife

Don't save my soul
I'm not afraid

Here we are and I accept my fate
Knowing very well that it's too late
'Cause I'm shot, I'm outta luck
Between the drugs that I've done and the girls that I fuck

All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife
All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife

Don't save my soul
I'm not afraid

Now does your god watch over you
Now does your god watch over you
Now does your god watch over you
With vengeful eyes

Fucked in the afterlife

Fear controls everything they do
Now that they can't take it out on you
Why fight when no one believes
Why follow when nobody leads
That's all they need

All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife
All I know, if they're right
We're all fucked in the afterlife

Don't save my soul
I'm not afraid


3. VICTIMS OF POP CULTURE

Just look close and you will see
Now it's all a novelty
Simple bands call for simple plans
And there's no more originality
So process, process and reuse the same idea
Until the market thrives then the trend die
And lose all your mass appeal

Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture
Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture shot dead

Some complain that true rock is dead
But in the underground is where it's kept
An army of clones who just copy others
They start to explain but then they stutter
Damn, the same old song, but don't worry it won't take long
As the radio signal gets ready to send, over and over again

Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture
Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture shot dead

Placing words in places
Packing dreams in cases
Sending all the vultures to relocate the stars
Actually spray painted
Ever revolving never revolving plastic industry
I guess it's up to us to say
That it's impossible
I know this happens every day
And there is no control, no control

Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture
Lights out, brain dead
Another victim of pop culture
Small minds, force fed
Another victim of pop culture shot dead

Pop music is the enemy!


4. SYMPTOMS FOR SIDE EFFECTS

The lack of sense it makes
To me to know the truth and still believe
Closing minds is where it breeds
To bleed and bleed the enemy
The wars we choose we cannot win
A disease inside the medicine
Take your pill and slowly look away

Bled dry
Bled dry
Now I can see
Now I can see

The lie was bold for all to see
And prey upon dependency
The weak will fall before the greed
And take from them like you took me
The promise made the outcome bleak
Some they break and some they keep
Weaken now and quickly go to sleep

Bled dry
Bled dry
Bled dry
Now I can see
Bled dry
Bled dry
Now I can see
Now I can see


5. A SONG FOR DARRELL ABBOTT

Awake in silence
I know it's far too soon to say goodbye
But I will not worry now
No one could tear you down
Inside myself I found
That you're the reason why

What I wanted to confide
You're the dream that I've been chasing after
Your memory will never die
The path we walk you carved in stone
To you this life I owe

This place can't keep you, so carry on
I know it's different now that you are gone
But I will not worry now
No one could tear you down
Inside myself I found
That you're the reason why

What I wanted to confide
You're the dream that I've been chasing after
Your memory will never die
The path we walk you carved in stone
To you this life I owe


6. CROWD CONTROL

Silence lives in the aching of my bones
A solemn friend but he's not alone
I got no time to listen to you
Running is over, running is dead
I just wanted to save the day
But all these fucking people get in my way
My blood shot eyes can't look away
Running is over, running is dead

Crowd control
No one will ever know
Live in lies and breed with eyes
That just wait now

Oh me, oh my, my friends
I've said too much I've met my end
But I'd do it all over, do it again
Running is over, running is dead

Crowd control
No one will ever know
Live in lies and breed with eyes
That just wait now

Control, you can't control me
Control, I have all the answers
Control, you can't control me
Control, I have all the answers for you

Sucked down
Sucked down
Sucked down


7. STEAK DINNER

Break, well I leave it up to you
Break, It's death and my sweet tooth

We're in the back of the line
Nobody cares
They think we're all outta time
Well I don't care

This is not anger
I don't lack self-control
We don't fear progress

Break, well I leave it up to you
Break, It's death and my sweet tooth
Too much procrastination
Too much, it's all over
Too much alleviation
Too much, it's over

Where's your patience now
Eyes look against the grain
Never going to be the one to accept
Your life wasted in vain

Too much procrastination
Too much, it's all over
Too much alleviation
Too much, it's over


8. WIRED

I gotta patch and wire through
Just to get inside of you
Now I'm reaching back and holding on to what was
Was never there

Then trust without thinking
This trust has opened eyes for

These wires, I finally see you
These wires, have been there always
These wires, and now it's them that burn my eyes
Now we've come so far from home
To finally learn that I'm alone
Don't want to be a part of you

Lead me in your heart with no disguise
I'll paint the memories in red
I know I'm absent from your eyes
But not the thoughts that you will dread

Then trust without thinking
This trust has opened eyes for

These wires, I finally see you
These wires, have been there always
These wires, and now it's them that burn my eyes
Now we've come so far from home
To finally learn that I'm alone
Don't want to be a part of you

Fall away
Leave me in your heart again

Now we've come so far from home
To finally learn that I'm alone
Don't want to be a part of you


9. GET THE DOOR

I don't need complacency now, it's such a bore
Waiting not living, regrets they keep building
Itching and clawing at my front door

Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life
Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life

What would be more obscene than
Your vengeful mind
To sit and resent in perfect contempt
Telling yourself that you'll be fine

Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life
Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life

From the fires ashes
A new life will emerge
And all that hate we pass through
A leader will emerge

Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life
Life, breathing life
Into you
Life, breathing life


10. MY TWO WIVES

Overtaken from each side
Temptation I can't deny
Whispering in sweet demise is my two wives
One says love and turn a cheek
One says kill them while they sleep
Both a promise I might keep to my two wives

The love they take, my heart can't break
'Cause I don't feel a thing
The choice I live, the life I give
I don't feel a thing

Look things over through their eyes
Babies breath or kitchen knives
I can't tell which one will lie
It's my two wives
Sometimes they make perfect sense
Their reward my consequence
It's not me to my defense
It's my two wives

The love they take, my heart can't break
'Cause I don't feel a thing
The choice I live, the life I give
It don't mean a thing
And all the words they say to me
I don't mean a thing
The love they take my heart can't break
'Cause I don't feel a thing


11. THE MARK OF MY PEN

The mark of my pen, where should I begin
Well I am the ink and the ink is running thin
There's a weight on my chest, not atop but within
Begging me each day to stop and give in
Like an ocean of water, cold, black and dim
I am the ink and the ink is running thin
It's running thin, it's running thin

I am the glue that holds this house together
Cracked and faded through all the years I've measured
My success as a man on my every endeavor
Falling short once again, comfort no pleasure
Alone in the dark, I wait out the weather
'Cause I am the glue but this house is not together
It's not together, it's falling down

I am the sun as the last light hits the sea
I shine for a moment before night consumes me
I search for salvation, but they won't let me be
I'm nothing to no one try to set these thoughts free
My mind a dead forest, my heart a hollow tree
I am the sun and the last lights hit the sea
And that is where I'll live, and will forever be
Held by night's captivity
So when that sunbeam shines for your eyes to see
Know that I am the sun and the last lights hit the sea
It's hit the sea


12. LOST AT SEA

Adrift, now here I am, in blank submission
Now I can't find a direction
Trust, a failed attempt to a connection
A broken heart my affliction
I bled for you selflessly
Your arrogance couldn't see
The friend that I was, and that I am
The friend that I will never be again

Once you trust, there's no turning back
I count my friends from the scars on my back
And it escapes my mind
But I'm so damn happy you could waste my time

Now I can see forever

I, the one that sat alone
Betrayed by friends I called my own
Stared into the setting sun
Lost at sea the only one
I, the one that sat alone
Betrayed by friends I called my own
Stared into the setting sun
Lost at sea I'm finally numb

And now you'll find a way to justify it
Or at best you'll just deny it
Love, it means to you a forged emotion
A weak attempt at devotion
I bled for you selflessly
Your arrogance couldn't see
The friend that I was, and that I am
The friend that I will never be again

Once you trust, there's no turning back
I count my friends from the scars on my back
And it escapes my mind
But I'm so damn happy you could waste my time

Now I can see forever

I, the one that sat alone
Betrayed by friends I called my own
Stared into the setting sun
Lost at sea the only one
I, the one that sat alone
Betrayed by friends I called my own
Stared into the setting sun
Lost at sea I'm finally numb

Lost at sea
