Drawing lines and shooting hairs
The best plans getting laid
Traded in an honest wage
The home that we had made
Ain’t no past to wring me dry
Save my soul don’t let it slip away
Wounded man gonna leave his mount
But I’m never gonna fold
My 19 year old flew the coop
She could never be controlled
But she kept me from growing old
Save my soul don’t let it slip away
I’ll take you out and load you up
You’re gonna show them what I love
I’ll take you out and load you up
We’re gonna show them what I love
Your favorite son has a trigger hand
The kids are out of luck
The fear is building in their hearts
Tonight they’ll self-destruct
‘Cause no one here is innocent
Save my soul don’t let it slip away
Save my soul don’t let it slip away
I’ll take you out and load you up
You’re gonna show them what I love
I’ll take you out and load you up
We’re gonna show them what I love
Save my soul don’t let it slip away

Party
03:16
|

Miss teen liberty is a girl of taste
Blind faith her addiction
Broken gears, spinning wheels getting tied up in lace
With allegiance to fiction
When I’m alone I keep hoping for daylight
Something that resembles a democracy
Being held under by the weight of this travesty
This ain’t a party for me
Moving fast, burning gas, and I’m trying to change
But my brain’s in a coma
Fifty years, live in fear when I see my own face
And I keep trying to fix it
When we’re alone she keeps promising daylight
Fed by the illusion of democracy
Being held under by the weight of her fantasies
This ain’t a party for me
She’s gonna eat me alive
I want a piece of myself
She’s gonna eat me
Hot sweat, cold feet, I can barely sleep
The machine is calling me
Are we believing there’s a separate peace
When we’re thrown in the darkness
When I’m alone I keep hoping for daylight
Something that resembles a democracy
Feeling like a burden, another victim of my own country
This ain’t a party for me

The Queen of Hot & Cold
02:59
|
|||
You wanna decide
Who’s gonna live and who’s gonna fry
Who’s gonna join you in the afterlife
And keep you warm into the middle of the night
You’re gonna cry
When boys head into your firefight
And they bleed for your sake of being right
‘Cause on our hands and knees we look alright
If you’re the queen
It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from
If you’re the queen
It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from
It’s gotta be
You wanna decide
Who’s gonna burn and who sees the light
So you’re worshipped in the afterlife
All God’s creatures need to hide in fright
You’re gonna cry
When they lose the will to fantasize
You're so depraved you’ll never realize
That your own ways are gonna suck you dry
If you’re the queen
It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from
If you’re the queen
It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from
It’s gotta be
Praise the queen of hot and cold

Released (Jack Link)
04:05
|

Gonna grit my teeth and pretend
That I like it
Where’s the end
I smile while I’m shoveling shit
It’s the last ditch
“E” for effort
Where they’ll bury me all alone
Afraid that they’ll mark it unknown
I gotta be released
I’m out of my head
I gotta be released
I’m going out of my head
I want to be released
I caught a tough break
Just say fuck it
The sky is falling down anyway
I smile with an idiot grin
Here’s your chance, yeah
But it’s your last
Words are spoken, the spell is cast
The enemy kills from within
I gotta be released
I’m out of my head
I wanna be released
I’m going out of my head
I want to be released
I'm out of my head
I'm going out of my head
I'm fucking out of my head
I'm going out of my head
I gotta be released
I’m breaking down
Don’t wanna fight
I'm gonna get things right

Situation
02:49
|

I can't reset
You know I can't rewind
And I don't reflect
On my peace of mind
The situation's fine, at least I think it is
I won't rescind
The invitation's mine
I'd never reject
You'll never be declined
The situation's all fucked up, yeah I know it is
The situation's all fucked up, yeah I know it is
I'm gonna give it all away
I'm gonna give it all away to you
Away to you
I'm gonna throw it all away
I'm gonna throw it all away for you
Away for you
The situation's all fucked up, at least I think it is
The situation's fine, yeah I know it is

Whisper
04:26
|
|||
I won’t be your whisper
Landing calm upon your ear
I won’t be your whisper
Landing calm upon your ear
I’m not landing calm upon your ear
Just to lie about your fears
I won’t be your gunfire
Spraying cover for your crimes
I won’t be your gunfire
Spraying cover for your crimes
I’m not spraying cover for your crimes
Just gonna leave here when it’s time
With all I give away
You take so much that I can’t breathe
Oh, you know I aim to please
But it’s your bad fortune that’s got me on my knees
I won’t be your hatchet
Clearing brush to stop a fire
I won’t be your hatchet
Clearing brush to stop a fire
I'm not clearing brush to stop your fire
‘Cause nothing flames up like a briar
With all I give away
You take so much that I can’t bleed
Oh, you know I aim to please
But it’s your bad fortune that’s got me on my knees
I won’t be your whisper

Chemical
04:12
|
|||
Collecting childlike memories
Piles and piles all headed south
I want to be born again
Just to feel your hand as it covers my mouth
I got beat by your chemical
I fell in love with your chemical
You’re one wicked little thing
I love the way you love yourself
I’m hooked on you my medicine
‘Cause you make me horny while you steal my wealth
I got beat by your chemical
I fell in love with your chemical
I’m tied up ‘cause you’re so sweet
Coming for me
Build you up a throne
Present you with a crown
At that perfect little place
Where they’ll put me in the ground
Carving up a stone
Parade it through the town
To that perfect little place
Where they’ll put me in the ground
I got beat by your chemical
I fell in love with your chemical
I’m tied up ‘cause you’re so sweet
Coming for me

Lying in my bed at 2PM
Find it hard to listen to my family or my friends
While begging for their money
Speeding with no cause just a heartbroken man
Asking for assistance with another failing plan
I’ve got my own ghost haunting me
I’ve got a monkey on my back
(Cannot tie him up or tame him)
He never learned to act
(But found success in entertainment)
Dare I try to name him
(I got my own ghost haunting me)
Dare I try to name him
(I got my own ghost haunting me)
And I’m never breaking free
I’ve got my own ghost, he’s haunting me
Poison in my veins destroying every meaning
With every pretty girl comes that sinking feeling
I’m gonna bleed for nothing
Always looking out for old number one
Yet I can’t forget he holds the trigger to my gun
I’ve got my own ghost haunting me
I’ve got a monkey on my back
(Cannot tie him up or tame him)
He never learned to act
(But found success in entertainment)
Dare I try to name him
(I got my own ghost haunting me)
Dare I try to name him
(I got my own ghost haunting me)
And I’m never breaking free,
I’ve got my own ghost haunting me

Murderer
04:06
|
|||
One more thing before I go
One more thing I'll ask you Lord
You may need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
Don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fist into the earth
And I've read your book
It seems that you could use another fool
Well I'm cruel
And I look right through
You must have more important things to do
So if you need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work

Jessica

Jessica, this shit's a mess
It's probably best if we just say nothing
I can't explain, I just give up
I'm still thirsty and I just keep filling my cup
It's never enough
I don't need anything
I don't need anything
I don't need anything
I'm not sure this is going anywhere
Point blank, you want the honest truth
And I've tried but the game's not paying off
How far until you come back home?
Around and round you go
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
Just give me everything
Just give me everything
Just give me everything
Just give me everything
Just give me everything
Just give, just give, just give
Go on...

See No Evil
03:53
|
|||
Bid farewell to those guys
They’re so debonair with golden rings
Dug us knee deep in lies
But the more we ignore them, the less it stings
We will see no evil
If we don’t open our eyes
So let’s pretend before we’re bored
And inches turn to miles or more
We attacked
There are fruits of labor
And there are pieces rotting over again
But in our worst behavior
You will always be my greatest friends
We will see no evil
If we don’t open our eyes
So let’s pretend before we’re bored
And inches turn to miles or more
We attacked
We will see no evil
If we don’t open our eyes
We will see no evil
If we don’t open our eyes
So let's pretend before we're bored
And inches turn to miles or more
So let's pretend before we're bored
And spend our lives as corporate whores
Let’s attack!
We attacked

White Walls
04:30
|
|||
Crossing that threshold
Tearing with dull teeth
Tempted to let go
With no promise of relief
Counting down the seconds
‘Til sleep needs to begin
But if we just escaped
We’d be outside looking in
All your best intentions
Disappearing here
Among these white walls
Building your shrine
Searching for answers
Your parents can’t find
Mystery filled by
The diagnosed kind
But I still believe you
I must be crazy
With fleeting time and patience
Our friends outside they bleed
Skin splitting at the seams
Now wolves are here to feed
A faint natural light
From places we won’t know
Slowly filling up the kitchen
On some homemaker show
All your best intentions
Disappearing here
Among these white walls
Building your shrine
Searching for answers
Your parents can’t find
Mystery filled by
The diagnosed kind
But I still believe you
I must be crazy
Please turn these lights down low
Please turn these lights down low
Please turn these lights down low
Oh, when will this feel like home

This Company I Keep
04:05
|
|||
The smoke sets down on the avenue
You know men rolling up piling revenue
All going to work, another white-collared jerk
And I’m becoming one of them
Maybe it’s just consistency
That I’m stumbling around through discrepancies
My ambition is clear, but with this job I fear
That I’m becoming one of them
I’m becoming one of them
I’m gonna be one of them
Rolling in dirt, flying high
We all line up in the blink of an eye
We know war well, but it’s okay to be strong
To follow that path, straight to death, to belong
Still set soaked in my insolence
You see I’m running amok til I hit the fence
This company I keep
Could make a grown man weep
Still I’m becoming one of them
I’m becoming one of them
I’m gonna be one of them
Rolling in dirt, flying high
We all line up in the blink of an eye
We know war well, but it’s okay to be strong
To follow that path, straight to death, to belong
Well, I'm becoming one of them
Well, I'm becoming one of them
I'm gonna be one of them

Fun!
Baby, baby, we like your lips
Baby, baby, we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Fun!
Oh, I feel lucky tonight
I'm gonna get stoned and run around
All aboard for funtime
All aboard for funtime
Fun!
I was hanging down on Fairfax last night
With Diablo and his crew
All aboard for funtime
Fun!
Yeah, I don't need no heavy trips
Oh yeah, I know what I wanna do
All aboard for funtime
All aboard for funtime
Fun!
Baby, baby, we want in
We want some, we want some
All aboard for funtime
Fun!
Baby, baby, we want in
We want some, we want some
All aboard for funtime
All aboard for funtime
Take me to the funtime
C'mon take me now
Fun!
