1. DECLARATION

In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of war
You must prepare for peace
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of war
You must prepare for peace
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
CHARGE!!!


2. BULLDOZER

Into the battles making cages rattle
There's a pain that's inside us and we're letting it out

Charge right in we dare to fail
No one is giving in always we live to win
A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us
And it will not be denied

Walking a path untraveled to reach higher levels
Challenging always going against the grain

Blood for blood - that is the rule
And we will make the rules never be fortune's fool
There's right and wrong in almost everything we do
For us we do what is right

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all

Somebody told me I should do what they told me
But there's a hole in that plan and I'm tearing it down

Trust our guts follow our hearts
No one can break these nuts these lips ain't kissing butts
The path of most resistance tests all of our strength
This strength will not be denied

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all

Walking on paths untravelled
Challenging one and all
Deeper into the battles
Alone and standing tall
The more evolving changes
The more we stay the same
Full steam against the odds
Go headfirst against the grain

Full steam we go against the odds
Headfirst we go against the grain
Full steam we go against the odds
Headfirst we go against the grain

Bulldozer goes against the odds
Bulldozer goes against the grain
Bulldozer goes against the odds
Bulldozer goes against the grain

Against the odds, against the grain
We go against the odds, against the grain
Against the odds, against the grain
We go against the odds, against the grain

This is the bulldozer
This is the bulldozer


3. WHITE KNUCKLE BLACKOUT

Veins are a racetrack for fuel that I need
Life on the edge is the bread which I feed
Standing alone, open for all to see
My tunnel vision for life, it drives me

Focus in closer
Releasing the fear

White-knuckle blackout, adrenaline rush
Wide-eyed and red-faced, my skin hot and flushed
The hair stands up down the backside of my neck
Blood’s beginning to boil the beads of sweat

Fear has its place in the scars that I bear
Deep in the mind, behind everything shared
Fixate my sickness as long as there’s air
Headstrong I’ll forcibly change what was there

By focusing closer
Releasing my fear

White-knuckle blackout, adrenaline rush
Wide-eyed and red-faced, my skin hot and flushed
The hair stands up down the backside of my neck
The blood’s beginning to boil
These beads of sweat I’ll dry, out of my eyes
And blacken everything except the goal out

Adrenaline is my fuel when I’ve an obstacle to climb
Adrenaline is the lubrication, focusing my mind
Adrenaline is telling me when someone’s thinking they’re too cool
To raise my middle fingers up and say “fuck you”

Adrenaline is fueling my mind to focus my climb
Reaction evoked at the challenge provoked out of you
Adrenaline is fire to fuel
You wanna fire my fuel?
I’ll fire back a fuck you!


4. CRASHING AROUND YOU

I am your nightmares true scares
That dream when you can’t stop from falling
Can’t fight can’t run
Can’t stop the person you’ve become

I am your heartbreaks mistakes
That place inside you hate
I am that shadow following
Every move reminding you
That it’s never good enough
Never good enough
Even though you’ll try and try
I’m gonna call your bluff
Because I am the thing bringing the feelings when

Your world comes crashing around you
Smashes down around you yeah
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?

When you feel darkness, hopeless
Can’t cope with all the stress
I’ll make you hate life, bring strife
Remember failures hardened stare
And it’s never gonna change, never gonna change
Always they’ll be judging you
Compared to who and who
You trust in me but I only live to see

Your world comes crashing around you
Smashes down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?

When I come for you
When I see through you
When I eat through you
When I destroy you

You’ll think you’re betrayed, astray
I’ll leave you ripped and torn so bad you
Can’t trust, can’t love
Can’t understand why life’s so fucked
I’m deep inside your mind
In constant remind
If you leave your thoughts to me, believe
I’ll make sure that I see

Your world comes crashing around you
Smashes down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?

I’ll make your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
I’ll let you see why you cannot hide from me

Because I am you


5. KICK YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN

Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength, and pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Trust that I find in you

But it’s hard and it’s brutal it’s nasty and rude and
It’s dirty and mean when they treat you like yesterday’s news
They want to keep us all downtown frowned underground
But no one is keeping me down fuck I’ll keep my head high

Cause they will always kick you when you’re down

Life for my life, soul for my soul
Truth for my truth and heart for my heart
Drive for my drive, match it inside
Fight for this fight and don’t you ever never

Give up, give up – you gotta play like a master of chess
It’s a long road and it’s a mental endurance stress test
Sometimes you fight and you win, sometimes you fight and you lose
It’s the fighter in you not to lose so keep your head high

Cause they will always kick you when you’re down

You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure

Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength and pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Keep up the drive and fight this fight

Because some shit ain’t right don’t lose our sight
Get our heads right shine our star too bright
Nothing in life is for sure it’s just a gamble
So play it for all that it’s worth and don’t forget to keep our heads high

Cause they will always kick you when you’re down
They will always kick you when you’re down
And don’t you let their kicking get you down

You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure


6. ONLY THE NAMES

Welcome in my friend
Out of the cold where it’s warm please step in
What’s your name my friend
My name’s the same what a strange coincidence
Glad you’ve come to this place
What’s the pleasure you chase
Oh, you like playing with speed
Well I have all the answers you need

I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
I’ll never leave you

Welcome in my friend
Try some of this what you’ll feel is amazing
Tap a tiny blast
In a crease of foil place this flame beneath it
White smoke you will inhale
A speed rush you will exhale
The goose bumps prickle your skin
Just enough to dig the hooks in

I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
But now you’re hollow

You’re crawling on the floor
But you’ll be back for more…yeah

Hello there my friend
Back for the sweet poison so soon again
But this lie must end
I must collect for those pleasures gave
When I first told you my name
I told you ours were the same
And that’s not really a lie
My real name is your addiction

I will bring you
Down and break you
Burn right through you
Won’t regret you


7. ALL IN YOUR HEAD

You tell me I’ve been walking on a railing
Been excelling at failing
That I think wrong I don’t belong
I don’t fit I don’t give a shit
Take my guitar and microphone pour out my fuckin’ soul
Insecurity I’ll strip it down to the bone – fuck it
I ain’t stranger just strange
I’ll be fine so leave me alone

You can’t see the things that make
Your happiness go away well I can

It’s all in your head
It’s in your head
Sad but it’s true
It’s inside you
Keep wallowing in your misery
It’s all in your head

I know that I’m a weirdo and I’m messed up
And the lord knows that I’ve fucked up
But I don’t need you to point out
Every mistake that I make
I’m sick of all your negatives something has gotta give
Got me thinking you need to stop overthinking
Brink of losing my mind and going blind
I’ll be fine, leave me alone

You can’t see the things that make
Your happiness go away, well I can

It’s all in your head
It’s in your head
Sad but it’s true
It’s inside you
Keep wallowing in your misery
It’s all in your head

Why can’t you see it’s you
It’s just inside of you

You can’t see the things that make
Your happiness go away, well I can
Honestly you’re driving me insane, again

Because It’s all in your head
It’s in your head
Sad but it’s true
It’s inside you
Someday you’ll see why you’re unhappy
Someday you’ll see that it’s not me
It’s all in your head

It’s just inside of you


8. AMERICAN HIGH

I was that kid sittin’ over in the corner
Smelling with a shit-eating grin
And I was that kid smilin’ in the back of class
‘Cause I’m fryin’ on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin’ 40’s on the bleachers
Getting drunk after school
Gettin’ home too late, fallin’ on my face
Way too drunk to skate and actin’ a fool

I was that kid never doing good at
Nothing except for maybe at P.E.
And I was that kid getting bullied by the
Filipinos rollin with abt
Me and my friends reading
The satanic bible thinking we should start a band
Cutting class to jam, cutting class to jam
In my dad’s garage we learned to

Act a fool don’t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don’t rock ‘n roll
But this is my American High

I was that kid that was crank-calling
Your girlfriend Couldn’t get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was Getting hella busted
For pissin’ on the bart train
I fuckin’ hated school except for hanging out with my friends
The outcast that was Startin’ up a band
Fremont was the town, California-bound
Bay area sound taught me to

Act a fool don’t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don’t rock ‘n roll
But this is my American High

I’m that kid you tried to punk in English class
Now I’m in a band and you’re kissing my…

Asteroids beat out homework
Slayer beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
That’s why I’m in this band

And what you got against me, I don’t need a new job
What you got against me, I’ll get by on my own
Tellin’ me I’m never getting by from my songs
I love it when you’re proven wrong

Act a fool don’t need to be cool
Pissed off too and breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in school
Don’t rock ‘n roll
But this is my American High

Act a fool don’t need to be cool
Break the rules
Cause this is my American High

10. NAUSEA

I’m fucking sick of you

One more time you’ve gotten into my head
I’ve let your words get into me
Every time I try to talk, you never listen
You got the answers, I don’t know a thing
But you ask me what these lights are in my eyes

They’re a freight train ahead
And they’re straight coming your way
You’ve tied yourself down to the tracks
Now you want help from me

To cut you free
If it was me
My hour of need
You’d leave me there to bleed

I’m fucking sick of you
And all that shit you’re pulling
Your fuckin’ attitude
Had better go on

You cheat and you lie
And you stole and denied
And you turned on your friends
When you burned all those bridges

This time you won’t be getting under my skin
What you had I’ve taken away
Tell me what you’re gonna do it doesn’t matter
You’re always talking it don’t mean a thing
So ask me what these lights are in my eyes

They’re a freight train ahead
And they’re straight coming your way
You’ve tied yourself down to the tracks
Now you want help from me

To cut you free
If it was me
My hour of need
You’d leave me there to bleed

I’m fucking sick of you
And all that shit you’re pulling
Your fuckin’ attitude
Had better go on

You cheat and you lie
And you stole and denied
And you turned on your friends
When you burned all those bridges

Well you sat there and cried
As these words came to glide
Through your delicate skin
Leaving blood on these pages
So how does it feel
To be at one with the fate I seal

There’s a freight train ahead
And it’s straight coming your way
You’ve tied yourself down to the tracks
Now you want help from me

To cut you free
But don’t ask me
What I’m cutting
Is you out of my fuckin’ life

Cause I’m fucking sick of you
And all that shit you’re pulling
Plus your fuckin’ attitude
Has better go on

You cheat and you lie
And you stole and denied
And you turned on your friends
When you burned all those bridges

You cheat and you lie
And you stole and denied
And you turned on your friends
When you burned all those bridges


11. BLANK GENERATION

They say we been going down and going down
Been traveling on the road to nowhere
Going down, round and round
Trying to get to the place where we started
When I was just a boy
At four years old thought the world was joy
As a kid I’d play just create the day
As I saw it my way

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone poisoned winds of woe
Teach us that we’re alone in this world
We learned to see all the corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
A toast to our blank generation

They say we been going down, been going down
Been traveling on the road to nowhere
Going down, round and round
Trying to get to the place where we started
When I was seventeen
Realizing the world wasn’t what she seemed
Underneath the night San Francisco sky
I would see, too clearly

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone poisoned winds of woe
Teach us that we’re alone in this world
We learned to take all the corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
A toast to our blank generation

So here’s to our collagen lips and saline tits
To our growth hormones and antibiotics
To the Hollywood world we made out of Barbie doll hearts
After we melted them down so we could make our new start
Here’s to a generation scared and always wondering why
Instead of playing doctor, we play shoot each other and die
Instead of ring around the rosie, we play hide from mommy
Cause mommy’s been drinking again and we don’t want to get beat
Even with all our tattoos, and all our cheap thrills
There’s still a hole inside of us that may not ever get filled
So we give back a little bit of what the world’s given us
Giving back a bit of never giving a fuck

Here’s to the justice never dealt to innocent proven guilty
Here’s to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the street
Here’s to the rat-tat-n-tat of gun shots and your life is shattered
Here’s to gimme me your cash or your brains is gettin’ splattered
Here’s to mad cow disease and all that yummy msg
Here’s to Mickey D’s serving all those mutant chick-a-dees
This is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocence
This is a toast to celebrate how

We’ve become desensitized
If life is to grow
Some life must die

We learned to take all the corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
Our generation
We now embrace all the corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
Our blank generation
Our blank generation
Our blank generation


12. TREPHINATION

I used to want to take a drill to my head
Let the pain out of the hole
I used to want to cut the veins in my neck
Cool the blood boiling my soul
When I wondered, why my daily headaches thundered
Tried to buffer, pushing down the pain I suffered
Mutilated, feeling so humiliated
Cannot wash the dirt off underneath my skin

There was a part of me left far behind
When at the age of five years old
I had my innocence taken from me
Emptiness would fill the hole
Now a second grader, thinking why I don’t feel better
Why I’m filthy, why the hell I feel so guilty
When drawing stick men of pornographic men and women
Thinking all the time there’s something wrong with me

Everyday for three years from dawn ‘til dusk a migraine
Would take me and break me and it’d cripple me so much that
In dreams, it’d seem, with a hole in my temple
That I could probably make my headaches finally go away

Trephination
Trephination

The enemy inside of me
Won’t let me free
Wants me to bleed

And after three years now my headaches wear off
For reasons not quite to me known
The acupuncture needles sticking my skin
Pushed them down as far as they’d go
But now I’m older and now inside my anger smolders
From depression, to fighting taking out my vengeance
Consequences, now I’d question during sex if…
Is this how it fucking feels or am I faking it?

No longer the child that you left there at the bart tracks
I’m now at 17, left in an empty blackness
On drugs, with thugs, and thinking “goddamn”
I’m ending up in a failure, in the gutter passed out

Trephination
Trephination

This enemy inside of me
Won’t let me free
Wants me to bleed

Now I’m older and in this man an anger smolders
Now I’m thinking a hole in you is what I’m seeing
Your depression, is the dent I kick in you in vengeance
Consequences are the pain I’d give to you

I know that I’m dreaming, but in this dream I go in
Go through it, and end it and though I’d never do it
I’m killing you, hand on the trigger – pull it
Your final thought’ll be a bullet in your fuckin’ head

Trephination
Trephination

This enemy inside of me
I’m now killing
To make me free
This enemy inside of me
I’m now killing
To make me free


13. DEAFENING SILENCE

She looked right into my eyes and said to me
The hurt that you try to hide is killing me
You drink a thousand lies to freeze the past in time

I’ve tried to fill this silence up
But now it’s back again

See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, I’m down in this hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road called life

She says that I’m insecure I guess she’s right
Cause just when I think I’m sure alone at night
The agonies come back this pain won’t let me be

I tried to fill the silence up
But now it’s back again

See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, I’m down in this hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road called life
Don’t need your sympathy
I just want for this silence to stop killing me

It’s deafening
It’s deafening
This silence inside me
It’s deafening
It’s deafening
This silence inside

I try to fill this silence up
But now it’s back again
It’s empty like a suicide
This pain inside

See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, I’m down in this hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road called life
Don’t need your sympathy
I just want for this silence to stop killing me
