1. SOLDIERS OF MISFORTUNE
I'd like to break free from here
It's gotten clear
The reasons have smeared
I'd like to break free from here
The land of the lonely
The reasons are phony
So pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
The soldiers of distortion
Dig a grave
I'd like to wake up from this dream
Can't we learn from history?
Why's it such a mystery?
I'd like to wake up from this dream
A world where they don't scream
A world without misery
So pray for the soldiers of misfortune
The soldiers of distortion
Hold a parade again
I'd like to wake up
In a dream
Where they don't scream
Without misery
Pray for the soldiers of misfortune
For the soldiers of distortion
Dig a grave
Pray for the soldiers of misfortune
For the soldiers of distortion
So hold a parade
Over there
Over there
I won't come back
When it's over
Over there
Over there
Over there
Over there
2. WHAT'S NEXT
They just keep swallowing us
They just keep hustling us
They just leading us down, down
They just hold us back
Wished i could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down, down
Its time we took up a stand
Take a wrong out of our hands
Because right now we just dont realize
What's next
Look what they've done to us
They dont know who to trust, oh
What's next
Its just so meaningless
Wish i was separate in this, oh
Take us out to just put them in sand
Pull the child right from the man
Its not hard to get swallowed up
George bush is fucking us up
See the lies that he has sewn
Fucks us up then he has us done
Fucks us up then he has us done
This time he has taken us up this throat
What's next
Look what they've done to us
They dont know who to trust, oh
What's next
Its just so meaningless
Wish i was separate in this, oh
They just keep swallowing us
We dont know who to trust
[x4]
They just keep swallowing us
We've got each other to trust
[x4]
What's next
Look what they've done to us
They dont know who to trust, oh
What's next
Its just so meaningless
Wish i was separate in this, oh
3. THE WAKE
Clean
There ain't nobody that's clean
Down in the basement
Down here the saints turn mean
Love
Ain't nobody lovin'
Down here your head stays low
You can't see the skies above
Push me a little bit closer to the man in the mirror
The wake after mistakes
Can you forgive and forget?
The wake after my hate
Do you forgive or regret?
Grow
Ain't nobody growin'
It's hard to remember hope
Your standards just stay low
Change
Ain't nobody changin'
I don't want to stay this way
I can't just stay deranged
Push me a little bit closer to the man in the mirror
The wake after mistakes
Can you forgive and forget?
The wake after my hate
Do you forgive or regret?
The wake after mistakes
Can you forgive and forget?
The wake after my hate
Do you forgive or regret?
Do you forgive and forget?
Do you forgive and forget?
4. COLD
Out in the desert sky tonight
With nothing but my head
Under the watchful eyes you're
You're thinking the thoughts of dread
Wanting to tear myself apart
Running for some rest
[Chorus]:
Cold thoughts muster within
Cold blood under my skin
Making the dream wash out tonight
With nothing but my dread
Watching the world fall down
At least inside my head
[Chorus]
I wish i'd just admit
I wish i'd just admit
I wish i'd just admit you're right
Ask me a question
Something that you know
Watch as a lie
Watch as a lie is told
[Chorus] x2
5. HATRED IS CONTAGIOUS
Haunted
By your voices
Feel dead
And unconscious
Pain and hate become our process
It spreads as he watches
Hatred is contagious
Hatred is contagious
It breaks me
It takes my pride
It makes me
But i am alive
(but i am alive)
Crosses
Are our losses
Tombstones
Make our fossils
Pain and hate become our bosses
It spreads as he watches
Hatred is contagious
Hatred is contagious
It breaks me
It takes my pride
It makes me
But i am alive
Hatred
Is contagious
Hatred
Is contagious
It breaks me
It takes my pride
It breaks me
It's built on lies
It makes me
But i am alive
But i am alive
6. LIE AFTER LIE
A waste of time, a waste of life, a waste of youth, oh...
A waste of minds, a waste of life, and where were you? Oh...
When i look back on this, will i think i missed out?
Oh, will we end up as life's many wrongs?
Or will we end up at all?
Lie, lie after lie
Lie after lie
Oh!
Always a crime, a waste of time, always with you, yeah
A waste of minds, a waste of life, and where were you? Oh...
When i look back on this, will i think i missed out?
Oh, will we end up as life's many wrongs?
Or will we end up at all?
Lie, lie after lie
Lie after lie
7. KILL THE DAY
A night turns to daylight
Daylight brakes you
You feel lost and lonely
Your thoughts betrayed you
It isn't the first time
It won't be the last
This crushed up feeling
Is the price of my crime
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
And day turns to nighttime
And the nighttime makes you
You use a playwright pony
Your thoughts remake you
It isn't the first time
It won't be the last
This crushed up feeling
Is the price of my crime
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
Hates you
Brakes you
Hates you
Brakes you
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
Close your eyes
The curtains that you like
Push them away, it's ok
Kill the day
8. THE TAKE
Take what little pride we have away
Heres to them..

Makes so little difference anywhere
Heres to us..
Heres to us.
And i wish you could understand
Understand!
Take take take

Hate hate hate
Hey hey hey

9. I KEEP THE FLOWERS AROUND
I keep the bottles around,
And my head held down,
Which is what you do in this place.
I keep the bottles around,
And my spirits down,
As i watch you lie to my face.
Can't you see,
The little things you say to me?
You're not smart enough,
To realize you said, the opposite.
'Cause you lie,
To me
(2x)
I keep the flowers around,
And my head held down,
It's just what you do in my place
I keep the flowers around,
And my head held down,
It's the only defense in my case.
'Cause i can see,
What the lies have done to me.
I hope love's enough,
For between the lies you seek. (?)
'Cause you lie,
To me
(4x)
To me
(4x)
'Cause you lie
To me
(2x)
10. IN DREAMS
Come take me
To the place of your bereavement
Let me see
The scars of your allegiance
Well it's good to see
That you're skeptical
That your mind aint closed
And your heart is cold
Yeah yeah
I'm gonna make you wait
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now
Come with me
If you want to see the real thing
Let me lead
You'll see what keeps you breathing
And it's good to see
When you look at me
And that i'm the one
To the tenth degree (this line may not be completely accurate)
I'm gonna make you wait
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now
Once i believed
But i'll never believe you
[x4]
I'm gonna make you wait
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna make you wait
I'm gonna liberate
This dream ends now
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna change your fate
This dream ends now
11. ONLY YOU
I started to think about becoming extinct
By the way they were going
I started to think that we're close to the brink
If you don't hurry
I started to cry when i thought of deny
That they told you
To being at the sky when i look in your eye
I know we can hold you
Only you...
Only you...
Only you...
I'm starting to think i will disappear
Only you...
I'm starting to think i will disappear
Only you...
I starting to think that we're missing a link
It's begun to unravel
It just takes a blink to get out of scene
The lines become blurry
I look at your smile then i know for a while
I don't have to worry
Cause the world's got you and like oceans are blue
We star a new journey
Only you...
Only you...
Only you...
I'm starting to think i will disappear
Only you...
I'm starting to think i will disappear
Only you...
