2: 2. (SIC)
Enemy show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I can’t handle you
Readily- either way it better be
Don’t you fuckin’ pity me
Get up, get off…
What the hell am I sayin’?
I don’t know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! Fuck you all!
Get a grip, don’t let me slip I’ll drop the ball
Fuck this shit, I’m sick of it
You’re goin’ down, this is a war!
Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted state of mind?
You’re leavin’ me suspect, I’m leavin’ you grotesque
Feels like a burn from witch you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass-suffer
I’ve just begun
It’s about that time
Gotta get mine
You can’t kill me
Cuz I’m already
Inside you
3: 3. EYELESS
Insane-am I the only muthafucker with a brain?
I’m hearing voices but all they do is complain
How many times you wanted to kill
Everything and everyone-say you will do it but never will
You can’t see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes
I am my father’s son
Cuz he’s a phantom a mystery and that leaves me nothing
How many times have you wanted to die?
It’s too late for me-all you have to do is get rid of me
It’s all in your head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in your head
I tried – you lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go, there’s a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesn’t matter if I give a shit- it’s shit that you gave me
Do you wanna feel pain? Takin my name in vain
Caring never felt so lame inside
Anybody else got pride? Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe I’ll reverse my ride
Who the fuck are you? Fuck you!
Better suck it up ‘cuz you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
I feel safe-seems your saved
Look at me in my brand knew eyes
4: 4. WAIT AND BLEED
I feel the hate rise up in me,
kneel down and clear the stone of leaves,
I wander off where you can't see,
inside my shell I wait and bleed.
Good-bye!!!!!!
I wipe off on tile, the light I brighter this time
Everything 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can’t control my shakes, how the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn’t like this
Is it a dream or memory?
Get outta my head cuz I don’t need this
Why don’t I see this?
I’m a victim- Machurian candidate
I- have- sinned by just
Makin’ up my mind and takin’ your breath away
You haven’t learned a thing
I haven’t changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain ways always free
And it waits for you!
5: SURFACING
Running out of ways to run
I can’t see, I can’t be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is doing me in
Fuck it all! Fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don’t belong! Don’t exist!
Don’t give a shit!
Don’t ever judge me!
Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape, taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is doing me in
You got all my love, livin’ in your own hate
Drippin’ hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nothin’, but ain’t holdin’ back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain’t a fuckin’ thing you can do
Get this cuz your never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be
I am the push that makes you move
6: 6. SPIT IT OUT
Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it’s time you have the tables turned
Cuz in the interest of it all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty…
Man nearly killed me
Steppin’ where you fear to tread
Stop drop and roll-you were dead from the git-go
Big mouth fucker, stupid cocksucker
Are you scared of me now? Then your dumber than I thought!
Always is and never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me, I’ll smear ya – think I fear ya? Bullshit?
Just another dumb punk champin’ at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
It’s gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, literal profanity – hit me!
Spit it Out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Maybe it’s the way you got to spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keepin’ all your little spies and leavin’ when you realize
Step up, fairy
I guess it’s time to bury your ass with the chrome up to the dome
You heard me right, bitch, I don’t stutter
And if you what’s good just shut up and beg, brother
Backstab – don’t you know who your dissn’?
Side swipe – we know the ass that your kissin!
Bigity-biggidy bitch boy, halfway houser
Don’t hear shit cuz I keeep getting’ louder
Come up and you get and you get a face full o’ tactic
Lippin’ off hard, goin’ home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no nothin’
Now you start shit? Well ain’t that somethin’
Payoffs don’t protect and you can hide if you want
But I’ll find you – comin’ up behind you!
‘Bout time I set this record straight
Cuz all the needlenose puchin’ is makin’ me irate
Sick o’ my bitchin’ fallin’ on deaf ears
Where are you going to be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools and all the politix
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when you passed on the good stuff
Bam – are you sick of me?
Good enough – had enough
Fuck me! I’m all out of enemies!
Fuck me! I’m all out of enemas!
7: TATTERED & TORN
Kill me
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning down
Tattered and torn
And I can’t find a window
Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic
Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
Tattered and torn
The nerves you server
Tattered and torn
Can server you better
Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
8: FRAIL LIMB NURSERY
INSTRMENTAL
9: PURITY
Maze… psychopathic daze… I create the waste
Back away from my tangents, on the verge of drastic
Ways… can’t escape this place… I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I’m slowly dying
Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone here me please, all I see is hate
I can hardly breathe and I can hardly taste it
HANDSONMYFACEOVERBEARINGICAN’TGETOUT
Lost… ran at my own cost… hearing laughter, scoffed
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak… all around weak… listening incomplete
I am not a dog, but I am the one your dogging
I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please, losing all reserve
I am fucking gone, I think I’m fucking dying
You all stare, but you’ll never see
There is something inside of me
There is something in you I despise
Cut me – show me – enter – I am
Willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge in my pain, Knowledge in my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase?
Empathy, out of my way
I can’t die
Purity
10: LIBERATE
Liberate my madness
One of me, all of you
Liberate my madness
I just want to…
Section off myself
Put a wall up – what the hell have I done
Keep the dog at bay
Survive by saving me
Values and the game
Not a fuck-up – not a part of your life
I am one, I am all – I’m above and beyond!
Back off the shit
Stand off or I’ll spit
So soft, you forget
Your garbage in is your garbage out
You don’t give a shit
I won’t play the fit
Get off, get on this
Your garbage in is your garbage out
Liberate my madness…
I am not ashamed
What is vital isn’t always humane
You can break in vain
But you can’t break away
Even in my face
Lotta bullshit, not a lotta of the truth
I can’t see from here
But I can smell your fear
Saved – you’re such a slave – I don’t expect a
Name – you don’t care – I wasn’t witness – I can’t
Be a part of a system such as this – hard eyes – glow
Right – in my – darkness – again – with the sickness…
Renegade sisters, blisters, salivate, litigate, liberate,
Madness, sadness, fuck this – how long have I had this?
I don’t need this – outta of my business – insert, engage,
Betrayed, my God – fraud
11: PROTHETICS
Even if you run… I will find you
I decided I want you
Now I know… I need
If you can’t be brought, tougher then I thought
Keep in mind – I am with you
Never left out fate, can’t concentrate
Even if you run…
You will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
I found you
Leanin’ out of an open window
You laugh our fingers clenched
Too perfect, far too careless
I couldn’t help myself – I just took you
Damnit man I knew it was a mistake
You brought it out of me
Better make yourself at home
You’re here to stay
You won’t bother me… if you let me bother you
All the doors are locked, all the windows shut
Keepin’ in mind – I watch you
Never leave side – never leave me, fucker
Even if you run
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can’t believe I’m doin’ this
12: NO LIFE
My freedom is best
Whole country’s on house arrest
And everyone’s a suspect
You can’t feel the flow because you die
Face down on a “suicide”
The muthafucker’s on self-destruct
Nobody guardin’ your back, it’s all a front
Save this! My range is bliss
I’m takin’ names and getting pissed
Where’s Chuck D when you need him?
You ain’t shit jus a puddle on the bed spread
The manic psycho
Cool J screamed the shit but I don’t believe it
Man, it’s funny how you scare me so
Jus enough to fuck me up again and again
Hard life is hard as hell
Better back the fuck on up
Cuz this is…
No kind of life! This is no kind of life!
I’ve got to get out
It’s no kind of life! This is no kind of life!
You can’t blame me
Can’t be real no more – your mask is skin and bone
Savor every flavor you got cuz it’s not your own
Bad-ass at bat, man
Forget about the battle, it’s the war we gotta win
Breathe! Amer-cult, Breathe! Once more – seethe!
Freak like you got a pair
Won’t be my fault
When you painted in a corner of a no-good life
This is…
I can’t remember, I don’t understand
It is malice that make you this way?
Carry is with you ‘til someone forgive you
I laugh cuz there’s nothing to say
You can’t begin to consider the
Palpable hate in the air when you’re here
None of us wonder the weather your under
You’re making in perfectly clear
Lights ain’t on – shit ain’t right
Never had peace but I gotta fight
Can you look in my eyes when my back’s against the wall
Slash at my eyes, surprise, you’ll never get me
You’re all reality and sound bites
And freedom is never in plain sight
The feelings, the question, the price is too human for fucking sake
This is…
13: DILUTED
I’m cold, I’m ugly
I’m always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-face lie
It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes
My heroes are dead, they died in my head
Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again
Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today, forget whatever happened
Everyday I see a little more of over all deficiencies
I’m nothing short of being one complete catastrophe
What the hell – did I – do to deserve – all of this?
I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens
I decrease, while my symptoms increase
God what the fuck is wrong
You act like you knew in all along
Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing
All I ever wanted out of you was
Something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What you’ve fucking done to me
Gimme any reason why I’d need you, boy
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimmie any reason why I’d need you, bitch
Gimmie any reason not to fuck you up
I see you in me
I keep my scars from prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe, I’ve got to have an answer
Why I am so fascinated by
Bigger picture, better things
But I don’t care what you think
You’ll never understand me
14: ONLY ONE
I’m not the second coming, I’m the first wave
Better get an army, cuz the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar I’m top of the shit pile
So stick around cuz I’ll get to you in a few
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me, totalitarian
The one and only muthafucker, top of the world man
Cuz I can’t stand it, planned it, gonna crash land it
In other words, consider me branded
Another version of me, another version of you
Both barrels – what you gonna do?
All I hear is human noise
You made your own fuckin’ choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry
I can only die over time
Filthy hands, stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch – death is fine, gimme mine
Only one of us walks away
Some body explain this
You don’t care cuz you don’t exist
What the fuck is another joke?
Reckoning!
15: SCISSORS
I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open… and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout
As I lie there
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweetheart tube
As I injected
The candied heart I selected
She said don’t hesitate
Just do what you have to do!
It’s hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just cuz I have nerves, don’t mean I can feel
I wasn’t much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red cuz I can’t feel
Binding my time until the time is right
Binding my time until the time is right
Binding my time until the time is right
Biding my time…
It’s time
It is – time
