1. DEAD AND DONE

In the end it's all so clear to me that you're betraying all your friends
When the wind blows against you dear then you cower in defense

'Cause I'm fucking dead
Ain't nobody owning me
I'm fucking done
I just don't have the energy

You pretend you see things differently when you slave to all the trends
And if I bend this all ends painfully and you'll be blaming me again

'Cause I'm fucking dead
Ain't nobody owning me
I'm fucking done
I just don't have the energy

'Cause I'm fucking dead
Ain't nobody owning me
I'm fucking done
I just don't have the energy

'Cause I'm fucking dead
Ain't nobody owning me
I'm fucking done
I just don't have the energy
I'm fucking dead

Fucking dead
Fucking dead
Fucking dead
Fucking


2. BRUISED AND BLOODIED

Add meat to the body, abandon your own welfare
Feel safe in the knowledge that you'll save yourself with prayer
Disgrace everybody then bask in the afterglow
If I beat myself it seems like you just don't care at all
It's really fucking pitiful

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied

Conceit so lovely you've led me into despair
This rape and pillage of all things that I hold dear
Deface my body with gifts that you now bestow
When I need somebody it seems like you're just not there at all
It's really fucking pitiful

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied

These disembodied emotions are all laid bare
So please tell me, when will I wake from this new nightmare

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied


3. WASTELAND

At the end of the day
You're so soft spoken
Don't hang your head for me
Nobody seems to believe in the reasons you feel so lonely
Nobody seems to accept them the way that I do
Oh

This teenage wasteland of ours
I feel too much

I remember the way you left me broken
Don't shed a tear for me
Nobody seems to be willing to save me from purgatory
Nobody seems to be able to shed the treadwheel
Oh

This teenage wasteland of ours
I feel too much
This drug won't take on for hours
I need this crutch

Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Now
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Now

This teenage wasteland of ours
I feel too much
This drug won't take on for hours
I need this crutch

Now
I need this crutch


4. DANGEROUS

So take them off, the blinders that cover your eyes
Don't break new ground, just follow the beaten path

Well, all I can do in the end
Is bury it in the cellar
And only a fool would pretend
To blame it on the weather

It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah

Now take them down the roses you smothered, they died
I hear the cries of souls you have eaten since

We all must revere and defend
The fortune of the teller
We all must subdue and suspend
Belief that this gets better

It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah

Please, just say you know you won't be satisfied
Not unless you know your name is verified
God, I hope you choke on hate and stomach bile
Even as you sing the praise of feticide

Please, just say you know you won't be satisfied
Not unless you know your name is verified
God, I hope you choke on hate and stomach bile
Even as you sing the praise of feticide

It's so dangerous
All this blamelessness
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known
It's so dangerous
All this shamelessness
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah
And I feel like I lost all the good I've known, yeah
And I feel like I'm watching a tumor grow, yeah


5. LIAR

There's a break in the weather but I'm never gonna fade away
There's a saying it's now or never and this is never gonna wash away
So don't you wear that frown and don't you be forlorn
There's a break in the weather and it's sure nice not to feel

So take heed of voices that conspire
Make me walk this path alone
My sanity keeps unraveling despite this
I'm burning in the fire
I'm labeled as a liar

From today I will do better
Because I never want to feel the shame
With every vein that I have severed
I have struggled with what I became
I will not let you down
I won't be cause for harm
So today I will do better and I sure hope this can heal

So take heed of voices that conspire
Make me walk this path alone
My sanity keeps unraveling despite this
I'm burning in the fire
I'm labeled as a liar

But I can't bring you here
But I can't bring you here
But I can't bring you here
Oooh
Oooh

So take heed of voices that conspire
Make me walk this path alone
My sanity keeps unraveling despite this
I'm burning in the fire
I'm labeled as a liar

I'm burning in the fire I'm labeled as a liar
I'm burning in the fire I'm labeled as a liar


6. CAN’T GO WRONG

I don't want to be the one exposed to the places no one goes
I don't want to be the one who feels like a leper and
I don't want to get left behind in the places that I hide
I don't want to be the one who caves under pressure

It's really easy to doubt me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong
My reputation precedes me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong

I don't want to have my will imposed
Or the darkness diagnosed
I don't want to be the one who's kneeling forever and
I don't want to fear the day I die
Or feel the pain unamplified
I don't want to be the tie you've chosen to sever

It's really easy to doubt me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong
My reputation precedes me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong

It's really easy to doubt me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong
My reputation precedes me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong

My reputation precedes me
I've got a feeling this can't go wrong


7. BURIED IN THE SAND

Well I don't want to be caught
In a tidal wave
And everything's for naught
Is what the old folks say

Well now I find I'm distraught
I'm closer to my grave
And now I'm going to come short
Another goddamn day

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

Well now I found myself fraught
And I am filled with rage
Another bottle's been bought
To help me waste away

I think these chains are too taut
They're cutting my rib cage
And if I give this more thought
I think I've gone astray

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

When I'm buried in the sand
When I'm buried in the sand
When I'm buried in the sand

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

Throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand


8. LET IT GO

Second chances are so divine
I can't reveal what's on my mind
But I am drowning in the quicksand
The deprivation of my mind
This education intertwined
With all these musings of a sick man

Float down that river of blood you made when you stabbed my back
But I am drowning in the quicksand

Well I don't feel like getting older
I just feel like getting numb
And I don't see why I should bother
I just don't think I can let it go

When you turn sour grapes to wine
The fermentation takes some time
But I am following the short hand
When desperation is unkind
Exacerbation walks the line
And I am following a blind man

Float down that river of blood you made when you stabbed my back
But I am drowning in the quicksand

Well I don't feel like getting older
I just feel like getting numb
And I don't see why I should bother
I just don't think I can let it go

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Well I don't feel like getting older
I just feel like getting numb
And I don't see why I should bother
I just don't think I can let it go


9. FAILURE

Well I saw my face in the mirror
And I am I believe a growing curiosity
Hold my feet to the fire
Cause I am I believe a quivering atrocity

Sowing seeds of doubt
That we can't live without
Saw my face in the mirror
And I am, I believe a trembling monstrosity

And yeah I live my life like a broken-hearted failure
I'm trying to shed some light on the scars left by the razors

Well I quell my fears with a shiver
Yet I am I believe incapable of anything
So much more to deliver
But I am I believe a swollen wound without the sting

Sowing seeds that sprout disease to take us out
Throw myself in the river
Cause I have I believe this viral animosity

I live my life like a broken-hearted failure
I'm trying to shed some light on the scars left by the razors

What else can I say
What else can I say
What else can I say
What else can I
Say for myself
I'm terrified

And yeah I live my life like a broken-hearted failure
I'm trying to shed some light on the scars left by the razors
Again


10. BEG

I can't remember what it feels like
Seems you should've known the rules
I think I'm never going to find my way

Slowly coming from the rear
I feel I've never had a thought so real
Time I found myself a quiet place

Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg

I poke the needles under your skin
Tastes like blasphemy and treason
No you're never getting far away

See hope fading out of your eyes
This time the pain is going to feel unreal
I think you're gonna be some easy prey

Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg

Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg

Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg motherfucker
Beg


11. DRIFT AWAY

Don't let anyone cry on your shoulder
Don't let misery bring you down
Beauty fades away as you get older
Such a shame that you hate yourself

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

On the surface it seems like I'm colder
Underneath it all I'm not fine
You do well in the eyes of beholders
But I feel ugly as sin inside

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Who are you to let me bleed
Who are you to set me free
Who are you to let me bleed
Who are you to set me free

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away


12. PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL

So can't you see I need to leave
The world can burn without me
Don't I belong with every song
Keep letting rage come out me

Faith but not belief it helps me breathe
It feels like shade around me
Waste no relief I grind my teeth
I feel betrayed and lonely

Can it bleed ya
Can it see ya
Doesn't it hurt to hide it all
Can it free ya
Can it feed ya
Ever the pride before the fall
Can it feel ya
Can it heal ya
Don't pass this up
Does it need ya
Does it please ya
Oh no

Faux and make believe I can't conceive another way around these words
It's all so wrong
I'm too headstrong
To assuage the turnkey

Faith, the clover leaf so keep this brief but keep this cage around me
Hate with no reprieve the knives unsheathed
I feel decay around me

Can it bleed ya
Can it see ya
Doesn't it hurt to hide it all
Can it free ya
Can it feed ya
Ever the pride before the fall
Can it feel ya
Can it heal ya
Don't pass this up
Does it need ya
Does it please ya
Oh no

He says he's gonna hunt something
He seems to think the prey is me
If I can only have one wish
What do you think that wish would be

Can it bleed ya
Can it see ya
Doesn't it hurt to hide it all
Can it free ya
Can it feed ya
Ever the pride before the fall
Can it feel ya
Can it heal ya
Don't pass this up

Can it free ya
Can it feed ya
Ever the pride before the fall
Can it feel ya
Can it heal ya
Don't pass this up

Can it bleed ya
Can it see ya
Oh no


13. WRITTEN IN STONE

When I'm all by myself
The silence seems so absurd
Dripping words from my mouth
It never feels like I've heard
And I feel like I'm done
I'm tired is all I can say
When it wears down my health it's time to take this away

'Cause when it breaks down it's like it's written in stone
And when it fades out
I feel the pain in my bones
It's like its written in stone

When the sun's heading south
And all the cows come to herd
When the flames get snuffed out
By the screams of the birds
And I feel like I tried to quiet all my dismay
But it tore me apart
The violence out on display

'Cause when it breaks down it's like it's written in stone
And when it fades out I feel the pain in my bones
'Cause when it breaks down it's like it's written in stone
And when it fades out I feel the pain in my bones

It's like it's written in stone
Like it's written in stone
Like it's written in stone
Like it's written in stone
