1. BETTER OFF DEAD

Rats at my feet
They eat better than me
I'll tell ya how my life has been
Right from the start it's been all torn apart
God I just can't seem to win

Finally the end - better off dead

I sit in my cell - it reminds me of hell
The food here it gives me the bends
Living now sucks since my life's been corrupted
By losers that I call my friends
Thrown in a pit where my don't mean a shit
Fighting just to survive
Wasting away just to get through
The day - I wonder that I'm still alive

Finally the end - better off dead

Listen to me I've got something to say
Words are all that I have left
The fear is all gone 'cause I've done
Nothing wrong - betrayed - I await death
God please have mercy on my soul tonight
Vengeance is yours for the rest
Of all those bastards who left
Me to die - that is my final request

Finally the end - better off dead


2. MAD AS HELL

Early morning don't wanna wake up
I hear ya bitchin' just outside my door
I got my pillow over my head now
But it don't seem to work no more
Reachin' for a loaded pistol
Fantasies are all I have
I wanna hurt you I wanna kill you
The thought of prisons keeping me at bay

I'm finally boiling over
Mad as hell I can't take it no more
I'm finally boiling over
When murders legal you'll be dead on the floor

Late afternoon you want my money
I give it to ya just to shut your mouth
I wanna beat you over the head now
Buy a hooker and move down south
My backhands itchin' for your bitchin'
Give me a reason to knock you out
Dig me a hole out in the backyard
Outta sight outta mind

I'm finally boiling over
Mad as hell I can't take it no more
I'm finally boiling over
When murders legal you'll be dead on the floor

Late in the evening you stumble in
All wasted and "lost in space"
I wish that I had never met you
Right now I wanna spit in your face

I'm finally boiling over
Mad as hell I can't take it no more
I'm finally boiling over
When murders legal you'll be dead on the floor


3. SCREAMING

Not long ago the winds blew cold
And sorrow was her name
No one left but me to feel the pain
Numb to everything I touch
But my mind just seems to fade
Far away, far away

Take me back in time
No, wait a minute never mind
I'm where I need to be today
Time to test the waters
And face the day - be carefull where you
Tread - remember how you bled

I can hear the screaming now
But i don't wanna listen
I can see the writing as it splatters
On the wall - I can feel the footsteps
As they're creeping up behind me
Yet I chose to ignore it all

I remember you poisonous and so untrue
It's time to pack my bags and go
No time for aggravation
Just go away - be carefull where you
Tread - remember how you bled

I can hear the screaming now
But I don't wanna listen
I can see the writing as it splatters
On the wall - I can feel the footsteps
As they're creeping up behind me
Yet I chose to ignore it all

I'm feeling stronger now clearer
In my mind somehow - I'm living
One day at a time
Leave the past behind me
And start again
Be carefull where you tread
Remember how you bled

I can hear the screaming now
But I don't wanna listen
I can see the writing as it splatters
On the wall - I can feel the footsteps
As they're creeping up behind me
Yet I chose to ignore it all


4. RESTLESS SOULS

Restless souls you know your time has come
To rape the night and feed upon weakness

I want what you've got, give it to me
If i can't have it, I'll make you bleed

Restless souls came down without warning
Black the sky and leave desolation

I want what you've got, give it to me
If i can't have it, I'll make you bleed
Cause now you're feeling helpless
You're feeling helpless

Take hold of what you've got
Cause time for you is slipping away
Revel in your last temptation now
It's time for judgement day

Restless souls - you know your
Time is short - take what you can
Then leave before morning

I want what you've got, give it to me
If i can't have it, I'll make you bleed
Cause now you're feeling helpless
Cause time and time again
You're feeling helpless


5. RAGE

Takers are believers of the easy way
They try to live their lives in just one day
Blinded are their eyes - for they cannot see
The pain they bring from all of their deceit

The night is pain - they rage in vain

To late to turn back all the damage done
Just face the light until you see the sun
Falling down again - flat upon your face
Reap the pain and join the human race

The night is pain - they rage in vain

Now, I was never none of those
To taste the life of ease
Always being beaten to my knees
Living fast they die so young
Never knowing why
Listen now
You can hear them cry

Stealers of all love - self indulgent swine
Live their lives by wasting all their time
Passive was your past - now it's time to take
Responsibility for your mistakes

The night is pain - they rage in vain


6. FIRESTARTER

I've been watching you for so long
Just to get a taste
Beat myself black-n-blue for you
There's no time to waste

But I see you standing there so cold
And I want you naked and alone

Firestarter - burning in my soul
Firestarter - burning out of control

Take me down oh god just one time
My ego must be fed
Feel your body burning my skin
A painful shade of red

But I see you standing there so cold
And I want you naked and alone

Firestarter - burning in my soul
Firestarter - burning out of control

Now the ashes fade to sunshine
My hunger satisfied
Leave tomorrow without sorrow
Thank you for the ride

But I see you standing there so cold
And I want you naked and alone

Firestarter - burning in my soul
Firestarter - burning out of control


7. HATE

I want you want me dead
You look at me with eyes as black as night
They burn right through my very soul
Tell me now just what you want from me
Fever dead and cold

I can sense your hatred for me

Sister wicked I can feel your hate
Consuming all around
A wake for me and you are smiling
Dancing on my grave

I can feel your hands around my throat

Look at me now - dead in the ground
See you in hell - won't you join me
Spit in my face - such a disgrace
Can you replace - the whipping boy

Now i feel a peace I've never known before
Away from you and your love
It seems like you wanted more from me
That i could ever give you

I can see your poison for blood

Awakened now I turn and stare at you
Peacefully in your sleep
How could this have ever happened
Don't you know that dreams come cheap

I know you hate me


8. BLINDED

The pain of today
Is the same pain I felt yesterday
Wanting more and more
My hands still empty

Setting a course for pain and disaster
Leaving behind me all that has mattered
I fear the pain of life is killing me

Don't you know that I'm so blinded
By lies
Can't you see that I'm still blinded
By lies

Blacked skies poisoned by alibi's
MY tongue has tasted evil
And now I bleed

Pleading for mercy, awaiting my death
Screaming out hatred with my dying breath
I fear the pain no more

Don't you know that I'm so blinded
By lies
Can't you see that I'm still blinded
By lies

Blinding lies poisoned by alibi's
The truth for which I hunger, eludes me

Reach for the light
Get smacked in the face
Oh god won't you please let me out of this place
Darkness forever

Blinded by lies


9. EYES OF THE HOLY

Eyes of the holy
Feed upon their prey
Helpless and ignorant
At play in there cribs all day
Screaming and selfish cries
I want, I want

Eyes of the holy
Don't look at me that way
Eyes of the holy
Blinded - you look away

Eyes of the holy
Children all their lives
Martyrs of a losing battle
Weakened by their pride
Holier than you and me
Dream on and on

Eyes of the holy
Don't look at me that way
Eyes of the holy
Blinded - you look away


10. FAR AWAY

Closing time again
One last drink it's 4.00 a.m.
Once again another lonely night
Driving home now
The rain, it just keeps pouring down
In more ways than one

Subsiding memories
Of my past keep haunting me
The thought's of you
Still linger in my mind

Now you're far away
Oh god it seems I'm slipping
Into yesterday

Another day begins
Television my best friend
It sees me through another lonely day
I thought I could run away
And learn to love some other day
But deep inside love still remains

There once way a time
When I would have gave it all to you
But you went and threw it all away
For someonw new

Now you're far away
Oh god it seems i'm slipping
Into yesterday

I know there is no way
To turn back time to yesterday
But thoughts of you
Still linger in my mind
No, I'll survive always do
Even if it's without you
Now yesterday doesn't really seem
So far away
