1. TELL TALE HEART

At midnight for thirteen nights
I went to the old man's house
It took an hour or so to open his door
Being quiet as a mouse
My light shone in and upon his eyes
As I stared in the pitch of night
A scream cries out
And down with my hand
I slit his throat with my knife

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stabbed me in my back
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stabbed me in my back

I drained his blood into the tub
As I cut away his parts
I took up the floor I put him in
The only way to think smart
I heard a knock just as I was done
The police standing there in the light
They'd heard a scream
I rushed to the scene
I laughed, said I screamed in the night

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stabbed me in my back
Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stabbed me in my back

I was so sure I asked them in
I asked them to stay for a while
They agreed sat for a tea
Both drinking with a smile
I felt a pounding inside my head
Tried to cover the pain
The pounding just wouldn't stop
I confessed I was truly insane

I was so sure I asked them in
I asked them to stay for a while
They agreed sat for a tea
Both drinking with a smile
I felt a pounding inside my head
Tried to cover the pain
The pounding just wouldn't stop
I confessed I was truly insane

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stopped me in my tracks
Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy
Stabbed me in my back
Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy
Stabbed me in my back


2. WHAT'S THE MATTER

You look at me with your nose in the air
You're always trying to pretend you care
You laugh at me when my back is turned

So what's the matter with the people I see?
What's the matter with the things I do?
What's the matter with the clothes I wear?
What the fuck makes you stare?

You stay at home never pay to get in
The things I do you think are sin
At a gig you think you're fuckin' it
Well make way for others
'Cause I think you're shit

So what's the matter with the people I see?
What's the matter with the things I do?
What's the matter with the clothes I wear?
What the fuck makes you stare?

So tell me what's the matter
So tell me what's the matter

So what's the matter with the people I see?
What's the matter with the things I do?
What's the matter with the clothes I wear?
What the fuck makes you stare?

So what's the matter with the people I see?
What's the matter with the things I do?
What's the matter with the clothes I wear?
What the fuck makes you stare?


3. SKATER'S LIFE

Everyday it's not the same
I'm not living a life that's lame
I've always got something to do
And I don't care if it bothers you
Got me my skate and I'm on my way
Got to create something new today
Baggy t shirt and shredded jeans
I'm not a victim of the regular scene

And I'm living a skater's life
And I'm living a skater's life

To a halfpipe or a city street
This is where all the skaters meet
Frontside, backside or contorted air
Handplant, curbgrind, sessions blare
It's a life that most can't see
I got no rules controlling me
People say we get way outta hand
Those fuckin' idiots just don't understand

And I'm living a skater's life
And I'm living a skater's life

And I'm living a skater's life
And I'm living a skater's life


4. NO RELIGION

He was like you and me
Why was he the one
To be the almighty one
To lead the masses to
The road to false worship
The alley of blinding faith
When will they see religion
Won't set them free

Why him

Stop

No more praying to empty skies
No religion no more lies
Use your brain and question why
No religion no more lies
No more praying to empty skies
No religion no more lies
Use your brain and question why
No religion no more lies

Thou shalt not kill, no, no
Thou shalt not steal, no, no
Thou shalt not think, no, no
Thou shalt not be himself, no, no

These words will guide you all
Why won't you think for yourselves
Why won't you question God
God is just a word
Religion's a perfect plan
To keep the people lame
So if they commit a sin
They'll be damned in hell
Please be good for God
He was like you and me
When will you fuckheads see
Religion won't see you free

No more praying to empty skies
No religion no more lies
Use your brain and question why
No religion no more lies
No more praying to empty skies
No religion no more lies
Use your brain and question why


5. VENGEANCE

Alive despite ridiculous odds
I've had a wretched life
My body's scarred I'm nearly blind
And I seek revenge for this grisly crime
Okay

Searching the world for this evil man
Who put me in this state?
My body seethes in frenzied rage
I can almost smell his bloody fate

One day I swear I'll have my revenge
I'll bring this monster to his end
Edging closer, manhunt, revenge
Living for my vengeance

Sitting alone in his house waiting
His presence fills the room
Flick the switch, the wash of light
Reveals his morbid doom

Screams of pain and suffering
Are lost out in the light
Laughing as he cries and begs
I carve away his fucked up life

One day I swear I'll get my revenge
I'll bring this monster to his end
Edging closer, manhunt, revenge
Living for my vengeance


6. DYING FAST

This is the end in a tearless weep
The open casket where the dead will sleep
Cries for help in a still life stare
The satin sheets the box will bare
A rigid manner a life not a game
The pure obsession the goal to maim
Broke down again another's past
Waiting uneasy dying fast

You are dying fast the life you took
The haunting and terror not worth the look
You are dying fast keep it in mind
The ripping inside remorse is not kind
Lower the rope the time has stopped
Last couple of inches the casket is dropped
Yesterday was different the life was there
Murdering cunts don't seem to care
Drugs and alcohol you think you're in control
Die soon think of the life you stole
Guilt is so thin it's feeling you lack
It will bite you when you're fighting back

You are dying fast the life you took
The haunting and terror not worth the look
You are dying fast keep it in mind
The ripping inside remorse is not kind

You are dying fast the life you took
The haunting and terror not worth the look
You are dying fast keep it in mind
The ripping inside remorse is not kind
