Songbird 04:35
I’m over it I don’t give a shit I’m moving out And moving on now I’m over this I don’t need your lips I’m better off Alone on my own cloud You’re a song Oh, you’re a songbird Oh, and I love your sweet sound I’m over here I’m all out of tears I’m drying out And moving on now Don’t leave me out You're all vampires sucking me dry

Bugbytes 04:05
All the facts are inside out bound And all the rats become my mothers I try to fight the urge to vomit And try to hide the taste of bile All the gaps within this somehow Jot a thought of hollow nothing Upside down upside down And I reach out Falling fast the comedown comedown Cigarettes become my lovers Sources bound to keep me under Forces bound to keep me down All my ticks are one now one now Lunatics become my brothers Upsidenow upsidenow And I seep out I love your cunning dumb delight I loathe your stupid way of life So pardon me Now we know why Now we know it’s not alright A crumbling orb fell off the sky

Flower 03:54
I saw you in the mud, a flower in the sludge, and there you were Out of all the faces, blank and hollow stares, you were the one I told a bit too much, secrets that I trust you'll never speak I saw you in a dream, but never fell asleep, how it was fun... it was fun I thought I'd had enough debauchery and fun, but that's not the case Look at all the faces morph into a glare they're out for blood Maybe I should hang and dangle in the rain to show 'em up Look at all the faces begging me to care... I'm so done I'm not afraid of you, just of the things I'll do, but not anymore I've babbled on enough, I almost said too much, I'd better go 'Cause look at all the faces telling me beware. Just know.... I saw you in the mud, a flower in the sludge and there you were Out of all the faceless blank and hollow stares you were the one I'm not afraid of you, just of the things I'll do, but not anymore

The Plank 03:23
Bordering psychotic here and self loathing Pathetic and neurotic Mr. Drama King You’ve got your stupid head You’ve got your ignorance So dumb and so average you might as well die Burn it all it all dies Defile my logic on why Love and peace on earth Now seems so right Walk ‘round to the plank so high Jump off and enjoy the ride You’ve got your stupid trends You lack the common sense So young and so out of it you might as well fly Loathing is in my veins and I love it

I’ve been here it seems forever Broken down, chopped and severed Ten years cold, a ten year cold endeavor Fourteen miles lost per hour And so in this line I will rhyme these words that don’t go together You must find Piece of mind and if you want me forever You must promise to never Speak aloud your holocaust of opinions I’m not your prima donna local junkie pretender You got me wrong all along, not for radio Teacher tell us how to bite the lion And so in this line I will rhyme these words that don’t go together You must find Piece of mind and if you want me forever You must promise to burn that smile off your face Please burn that smile off your face Please burn it off Fast asleep against the wailing wall Tell us how to entertain you all The sentiment is honest but isn’t pure How do we keep from drowning?

Ugly Love 03:47
I don’t mind what you just said it’s wrapped around my brain If you go I’ll crack a smile and rest my weary loath I don’t want to feel the brunt of your ugly love Keep my name off your mouth and I will do the same And I am nothing I feel nothing It’s true but you won’t see You don’t want to feel the brunt of my ugly love Keep my name off your mouth and I will do the same And I am nothing I feel nothing It’s true but you wont see And you are nothing And you feel nothing It's true but you wont see

Is it something I said? Is It the way that I speak? Cause I stumble to say words I mostly believe Cause I’ve been parading my time I don’t know why Simple as it may seem Cover me in this dream Cause no one cares no one sees why Why do I try The words that you’re saying get me so frustrated I can’t get you out of my head Everyone’s saying "oh please stop complaining" they all say get on with my life Jesus Christ Soon Soon you will see You’ll be alone Alone just like me Then you’ll say why why why In the colorful light Covered me in disguise An illusion it’s made In her shadow I stay Cause know one cares know one see’s why Why do I try

Pig 04:38
Well I did it again Whatever happens happens I’ve been digging hidden holes No trace of fingerprints at all I’m just a pig stepping in shit I’m just a pig Well I harbor your scent There’s not enough I can get When repercussions take toll I’ll collapse at your door

LV-426 03:57
The Parasites and leaches drain I’ll help you get on your feet again Tell me my friend now what’s your name Are you unsure of what to say? Don’t’ advise what you don’t know Take my advice don’t belong Tell me now how I have changed I won’t tell a soul Tell me now how I have changed you Not sure you still give a dam I’ll give you time to smile and when I’ve fallen down again Place this thorn in my hand and close Something’s out there watching our steps Patient hunter feeds off of us all Take me over Tear me open Take me over All sing along

No Minor 04:19
Staring me down your judgements unreal as harmless the rat you are Spare me your lies I know what you said constantly under my skin The light in your path is crushing and real There’s no one left to feel sorry for you Under your vacant eyes you make your home I don’t care where your hide leave me alone Look at me now I’m all that you fear I’ll take your place as fool Given your best but best wasn’t real You showed me what not to do A thousand eyes looking at you Got what you want and I did too My little faker My Mental Patient My little faker is putting you on Throw it all away Thing’s surely find a new Throw it all away Things surely find a new

Burn Pile 02:39
Meet me at the burn pile Bring a stack of rules Bring your bills down I’ll bring some fools We’ll set ‘em a blaze and laugh and Wake up in time for the evening news Meet me at the burn pile Burn away your blues Scream your demons out And I’ll bring some fools We’ll set ‘em a blaze and laugh and Wake up in time for the evening news
