Clay People 03:32
Empty promise in a broken chair, A dirty car with some sex in the air, is love or a sin full dream, is it lust or eternity, a dirty champ with a messed up mind, a pretty little girly with a perfect smile, make her bleed and hold as she cries, he only wanted to be inside.... (Chorus) Lies are empty the truth is killing, thoughts are dreams so supposedly, let me out to stand beside you, it's okay to cry like me.... In a room full of crime, a girl is trash for a dime, turn a trick it's all so sick, they say they want it but there sick of dick, so there real but still they hide, it's not fine there feelings have died, there so numb but they can't cry, they just wish they could all die... (Chorus) Lies are empty the truth is killing, thoughts are dreams so supposedly, let me out to stand beside you, it's okay to cry like me.... (Chorus) eat my promise and digest my words, you are something at least to me, dreams may be faded but there staying, at least there real like people should be... yeah....

Streets are as dark as day, leading you too pain, find your drug of choice, it's expensive but it's your voice, find your din so small, on your binge so dull, drugs they numb your brain, streets only cause you pain... (chorus) streets with tracks of dread, the people hurt well they've been bled, they've given until they fell, poverty struck the drugs are stuck, left to a rut in a proverbial urban hell... they tell this him he must go, a beautiful mind a waste you'll find, this old man cries alone, he cries for fear of dying alone, this old man has no home, he took the bottle to die away, this old man he went home, they took his bottle but left his soul... (chorus) streets with tracks of dread, the people hurt well they've been bled, they've given until they fell, poverty struck the drugs are stuck, left to a rut in a proverbial urban hell... (chorus) streets with tracks of dread, the people hurt well they've been bled, they've given until they fell, poverty struck the drugs are stuck, left to a rut in a proverbial urban hell...

Pulse 04:16
Desperation Leaves me in a rut my head burns like cancer, i've got blood in my heart i can't find myself an answer to the questions, She sees me true the hole tares deep in my arm, My eyes fade the glimmer may i be may i stay never answer.. (chorus) What should i say you left but i'm the one who stayed, but i'm not the one whose crying, what should i do i couldn't help what i've become, when my heart is dying.... she finds me dead while my hearts still beating im alive my lights are fleeting, in dark places you'll find zombies like me don't come near were an infectious breed, She says im only here to help but she made me so gone, i turn to leave my lights they fade i fall i feel no more pain... (chorus) What should i say you left but i'm the one who stayed, but i'm not the one whose crying, what should i do i couldn't help what i've become, when my heart is dying, I live in pain I'm sorry it's over, I want to try again i'm sorry it's over, I live in pain I'm sorry it's over, I just want to end.....

Laying in a ghosts arms her tears fall silent, the wind sings sadness in each howl, her eyes found the light of day, before falling into dispair, emptiness in vast her soul bears gaps, the nights bring fourth all the pale, numbing just dulls the pain, in the end it's never curing.... (Chrous) lost in this dead embrace, shes in the arms of loneliness, the heavens mourn for her pain, shes in the arms of loneliness, her heart just continues to break, shes in the arms of loneliness, her eyes screams in so much pain, shes in the arms of loneliness.... Love she's held but to her it's distrust, all there lies leave there own marks, lines of poison burn away, in the end it's never curing, betrayal pain and there secrets were held, all her friends had turned into ends, leaving her in peices all alone, in the end only few remain.... (Chrous) lost in this dead embrace, shes in the arms of loneliness, the heavens mourn for her pain, shes in the arms of loneliness, her heart just continues to break, shes in the arms of loneliness, her eyes screams in so much pain, shes in the arms of loneliness.... breaking is the heart of her story, only those blind could believe she's fine, only those putrid could betray her heart now, why must the good always cry.... (Chrous) lost in this dead embrace, shes in the arms of loneliness, the heavens mourn for her pain, shes in the arms of loneliness, her heart just continues to break, shes in the arms of loneliness, her eyes screams in so much pain, shes in the arms of loneliness....

Swim 03:27
Words so hollow all meaning is lost now your searching for truths that are gone, You tell your self that it's never left but look away when it's wrong, poetically it's aesthetic you're apathetic you're drowning due to your flaws, you say you can swim that you need no help but you're dying now because of your pride.... (chorus) If It's true then just SWIM SWIM, If your lung's cave in just SWIM SWIM, if there's meaning in this life then SWIM SWIM, don't give in on the beautiful times just, Listen close just ask for help, there's no need for this to drowned.... Eager you are but there's no need to rush you've been pulled down by the weight of all, had I known the pieces soon crumble I'd have let them all fall, those words I've lied I'd always return even in this pain I'd cherish and yurn, if you can't swim I'll give you all my help but the table soon turns and I'm the one who drowned.... (chorus) If It's true then just SWIM SWIM, If your lung's cave in just SWIM SWIM, if there's meaning in this life then SWIM SWIM, don't give in on the beautiful times just, Listen close just ask for help, there's no need for this to drowned.... (chorus) If It's true then just SWIM SWIM, If your lung's cave in just SWIM SWIM, if there's meaning in this life then SWIM SWIM, don't give in on the beautiful times just, Listen close I'll ask you for help, because without us I'll always drowned....

Purple Shark 01:58
Don't feel low try to hide inside, I'll tell you in love i confide, Tell me your story don't be boring, I promise I'll never ignore you, Tell me love what you think, Tell me All that you see, Tell all you wish to be, I said tell me love anything, (Chorus) Well Don't feel lonely or ever empty, cause i am here a friend is me, A purple shark in a sea so lonely, Well i i'll be there just call for me, Got some horror stories so i'll hold thee, Got a broken heart i'll mend your crying, I don't know how i'll ever fix it, Maybe i should just sit and listen, so i'll try hold you as you cry, maybe i'll try and make you smile, So i'll love you for a while, well i'll love you for your style, (Chorus) (Solo)(Chorus2) Don't be lonely for i love you, A purple shark you'll never be, Don't you cry for i'll hold you, And I'll love you always we'll be...

Sweetest Tuesday my Monday's gone, where's my woman who i've wrote this song, i lay heart broken i've bled an ocean, i choke on lies and soon i will dround, change my stars remove my stripes, pull off my shackles i've paid my time, 6s and 7s are made in others beds, i find my woman and i'll weep again... (chorus) and when i come back it's never for her, I'll never be a good liar it's true, I drink my bottle my hope is inside, but it is always empty when i cry... I waited til the sun came to the sky, i wondered friend today is the other guy, six bottles in and it's only five, i think i got a problem soon i'll be running dry, I drove to the shop my medicines isn't far, until i hit a man getting head in his car, he screams Jane oh no i think, i killed my wondering lady getting drink... (chorus) and when i come back it's never for her, I'll never be a good liar it's true, I drink my bottle my hope is inside, but it is always empty when i cry... sickening life all the beauties gone, misery is all i've ever caused, i smash my bottle this glass is a knife, i made a choice now it's time to end all...
8.
Pull the trigger this life isn't worth living, ingest the poison but don't believe there lies, hold cold steel against my memories, I can't believe myself i can not trust my eyes, it's quite a dream i run to slow, I chewed the future i ingested the gold... (chorus) chemical dreams our futures faded, the lines are skewed and our paths are undone, we choose ourselves but our paths are not set, we could have changed the future but we haven't chosen yet... baby boys on the branch well daddys on the moon, he stole his wine from Jesus but forgot the miracles, now daddy's in the clouds now daddy's in the ground, everyone is crying but baby boy don't know why now, the cruelties in the wind when the salt water meets the ground, watch out for rocks or you will trip and fall right down, oceans made by men are found in broken hearts, be strong push on but i've pushed on for far to long... (chorus) chemical dreams our futures faded, the lines are skewed and our paths are undone, we choose ourselves but our paths are not set, we could have changed the future but we haven't chosen yet... (chorus) chemical dreams our futures faded, the lines are skewed and our paths are undone, we choose ourselves but our paths are not set, we could have changed the future but we haven't chosen yet...

The Soldier 03:17
process failures in your mind, never surpass what you'll find, is this what you fear inside, from the death you cannot hide, you signed for this but your hiding, left your brothers they are dying, the body count continues rising, will you save them or run lying, turn back now stop the running, save your family they are dying, bullets flying you'll fly faster, destroy them all know and be the soldier, (Chorus) you cannot just continue to run, it's to late what's done is done, don't fall back now push even further, to protect to help to become the soldier... Staring now into space times so slow it moves vaguely, debris and limbs scatter the street the void grows and life wears, screams and calls leave you broken pull the trigger now don't think, you'll feel cold you quiver you fall is this the end you wonder, turn back now stop the running, save your family they are dying, bullets flying you'll fly faster, destroy them all know and be the soldier, (Chorus) you cannot just continue to run, it's to late what's done is done, don't fall back now push even further, to protect to help to become the soldier... Honor restored you accept your end, no more tears you even don a grin, breath out now this is your end, you will die the Soldier...

Coexsistence 04:25
Help me out these shadows and the darkness i'd find, slowly they eat me more and more they keep me, Pull this veil up that's been keeping me blind, you hoped for the view but regrets all you'll find... (Chorus) i only tried to warn you now that you see are you still happy, i only tried to shield you now that you see do you still love me, No, No... pain tares these deep holes in my soul, past unchanging present unforgiving, i feel the death radiating below, cosmic dread emotion violent is my ocean, Fields of change aren't grown for me, only desolation only the forsaken, i truly made a choice now let me be, show forgiveness please don't kill this... (Chorus) i only tried to warn you now that you see are you still happy, i only tried to shield you now that you see do you still love me, No, No... I tried hard to forgive but we will never be the same, i tried hard to focus your making all my pain, i tried hard to forgive but your burning the house right on down, i tried hard to coexist but you have killed us all now, you killed us all now...Now....
11.
Repetitious process since your birth follow orders to design, give them what you've got to give left let them take all your time, like a brand new machine all gears turn don't ever grind, Follow all there rules don't you stray away from design... (chorus) crank out everything that they say, be subservient be there pray, victimize your own decisions, is this you'll ever be, follow for your obligations, follow all there decisions, follow for your obligations, is this all you'll choose to be... mechanical life biological curse thoughts of death and mechanicide, they take until there's nothing left now your empty null and dry, like a well used machine all gears grind don't ever turn, break all there rules and you'll stray away from design... (chorus) crank out everything that they say, be subservient be there pray, victimize your own decisions, is this you'll ever be, follow for your obligations, follow all there decisions, follow for your obligations, is this all you'll choose to be... is this all you'll choose to be... all they take is for themselves, all they want is your own hell, all they take is from you, you'll defect there institute...
12.
(House of Pain) little girl with a broken mind, lost it too a loser who took his time, she couldn't get away she could only cry, it truly isn't fair it truly isn't right, in the home of the broken souls, a loser has a grip of mind control, they keep his lies through the padded walls, they can't get away they can't make no calls... (chorus) Father father help there souls, there so lost but there not whole, screaming crying the rage and the pain, what goes on in a house of pain... electro shock to fall in line, follow the leader he takes one at a time, takes and takes and feeds there dreads, thoughts of dying and dreams of death... (chorus) Father father help there souls, there so lost but there not whole, screaming crying the rage and the pain, what goes on in a house of pain... aborted waste in failed trash bags, the family never knew the good doctors plan, little girl with no choice or lie, lost a rape baby she held inside, now the babies gone the demons in her soul, only a labotomy will help her be whole, now shes lost just an empty vassle, now shes one of the lost well... (chorus) Father father help there souls, there so lost but there not whole, screaming crying the rage and the pain, what goes on in a house of pain... what goes on in a house of pain... what goes on in a house of pain... what goes on in a house of pain... what goes on.... (madman jack) made in a lab with no cure, i let them rise to kill the pure, hear them scream they are dead, rise my minions zombies of dread... (CHorus) I want you but you hate me, so i'll let my mutant zombies free, maybe when when i'm king you'll rethink, or i'll kill this place with the zombie disease... Made in my lab with death and dust, i let them free to desolate stuff, to rape the lands feed on men, i did it all for her love in the end... (Chorus) kill my creatures this fucking land, eat every child woman and man, maybe one day she'll rethink, well maybe one day i'll wake from my dream....

Insight 04:39
end all sight severe all ties, become blind kill our rights, close your mind you cannot see, why even try we knew this would be, you took yourself you killed us all, it ends our lives muddles our pride, you took yourself you killed us all, it ends our lives muddles our pride, we fall away recede inside, we had a dream you let it die... (chorus) couldn't you see our goals insight, couldn't you feel how it was right, maybe I'd be maybe I'd might, maybe you'd see if you'd open your eyes, you're blind, no sight, dead dreams, closed mind.... you chase a dream selfish alone, you could achieve if you only tried, even in both your happiness it dries, your family they worry but you won't even try, finish the days before your recession, you say yes and begin confrontation, kill this seed before it can grow, you called it son then pulled the trigger cold, we fall away recede inside, we had a dream you let it die... (chorus) couldn't you see our goals insight, couldn't you feel how it was right, maybe I'd be maybe I'd might, maybe you'd see if you'd open your eyes, you're blind, no sight, dead dreams, closed mind.... insight we forsaken, none are wrong of indiscretions, choose not to be forgiven, goodbye it's the end, it's the end... (chorus) couldn't you see our goals insight, couldn't you feel how it was right, maybe I'd be maybe I'd might, maybe you'd see if you'd open your eyes, you're blind, no sight, dead dreams, closed mind....

pull yourself threw fire prove yourself true not a liar, chemicals burn your senses cry, life's a pain but it's worth another try, life's a pain but it's worth another try, a thousand reasons left for you to live, prove what you've left to give, show the values hidden inside, give us all your blood sweat and give us your time... (chorus) don't burn crawl threw the fire, don't die soon you'll be through this, don't stop it's almost over, don't be a victim in this, don't burn crawl threw the fire, don't die soon you'll be through this, don't stop it's almost over, don't be a victim in this, Don't be a victim in this....

Question 03:20
I can't tell why I love you, you are to cold to lie too, your words are ice my fury, maybe one day I will baby, don't fall the floor is melting, my love your boat is sinking, your choice echos resolve within you, may we still continue, Your hate i feel you bury, let me cercumb to your gravity, questions fade my soul is so numb, inspirations lost i'm so hollow and dumb... (chorus) do you feel alive, or do you just live to get by, do you feel alright, because i've felt you only lived to die... questions fade the pipers calling, follow the bricks the hearse it's waiting, you drink to feel your nothing, i drink to kill my feelings, i've loved curses since our meeting, damned to fail still were worth redoing, if i died would you cry for nothing, if i died would it be for something, Your hate i feel you bury, let me cercumb to your gravity, questions fade my soul is so numb, inspirations lost i'm so hollow and dumb... (chorus) do you feel alive, or do you just live to get by, do you feel alright, because i've felt you only lived to die... do you feel alive, or do you just live to get by, do you feel alright, because i've felt you only lived to die... one questions still left to know, did you ever love me though, one questions still left to know, did you ever really love me though...
