1. Suffocation
DRINKING FROM THE CUPS OF SPIT
THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS
DOMESTICATION, THROUGH DEGRADATION
BREATHING IN, AND SUFFOCATING
HARD, POLLUTED, CALLUSED, LOVE
ALONE AND NUMB AND IN LOVE WITH NOTHING
BREATHING IN AND SUFFOCATING
THE FLESH IS FORBIDDING, BUT THE SPIRIT IS WILLING
SUFFOCATION
DISGUST OF LIFE
AND THE LOSS OF SELF
TWO AS ONE IN LOVE AS ONE
BREATHING IN AND SUFFOCATING
HARD, POLLUTED, CALLUSED, LOVE
ALONE AND NUMB AND IN LOVE WITH NOTHING
BREATHING AND SUFFOCATING
THE FLESH IS FORBIDDING, BUT THE SPIRIT IS WILLING
SUFFOCATION
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY
DEFACING, ERASING, REPLACING
THE BLOOD PAGE TEARS THE FAIR SEX DOWN
WHERE IN THE HELL DID ALL THIS COME FROM
I DON’T KNOW
LOST INSIDE THE SURROUNDING DAY AFTER DAY, ETC.
REALIZING, I HATE YOU
WHIPPED INTO SHAPE
A WALKING WORK OF ART
LOVE IS DEAF AS WELL AS BLIND
BREATHING IN AND SUFFOCATING
HARD, POLLUTED, CALLUSED, LOVE
ALONE AND NUMB AND IN LOVE WITH NOTHING
BREATHING IN AND SUFFOCATING
THE FLESH IS FORBIDDING, BUT THE SPIRIT IS WILLING
SUFFOCATION
2. The Black Sheep Excuse
BORN TO INNOCENCE
THE LIE OF LIFE UNLEASH THE INSIDE
PISSED OFF, THROWING STONES
MY INSIDE GLOWS I’M SHOCKING
NO MORE EASY GOING
JUST HAIR TRIGGERS AND GOD AND THE KILLER IN ME
MINE, MINE, MINE
THIS FOUR LETTER WORD FOR YOU IT’S MINE
JUST LET THE WORLD FALL AWAY
AND LET THE PUPPETS FALL AS PREY
THE BLACK SHEEP EXCUSE NEVER DID WORK TOO WELL
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE, THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE, ANOTHER
I WOKE UP LAUGHING, I SCREAMED OUT IN PAIN
IT’S COME FOR ME AGAIN, BEHIND THE DUMPSTER SALVATION
BORED, WITH INNOCENCE
WHEN THE BACK OF THE MIND CAVES IN
PISSED OFF, THROWING STONES
DON’T LET THE ASS KISS GET YOU DOWN
THE SMOTHERING MASS, THE IGNORANCE PEAKED
TURN THEIR HEAD AND SMACK THE CHEEK
MINE, MINE, MINE
THIS FOUR LETTER WORD FOR YOU IT’S MINE
JUST LET THE WORLD FALL AWAY
AND LET THE PUPPETS FALL AS PREY
THE BLACK SHEEP EXCUSE NEVER DID WORK TOO WELL
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE, THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE, ANOTHER
I WOKE UP LAUGHING, I SCREAMED OUT IN PAIN
IT’S COME FOR ME AGAIN, BEHIND THE DUMPSTER SALVATION
3. Closet
AMUSING, TEMPTING, TORTURING
TWISTING ON THE FLOOR
DROWNED BENEATH THE MIDNIGHT BELLS
HE WALKS ON, HE GOES ON
RELIGION REMINDS HIM AT EVERY TURN
THAT HE IS MORTAL
HIS SEX BECOMES BLURRED
THERE IS NO TURNING BACK NOW
LIES ARE SEX, THE TRUTH IS SEX, LOVE IS SEX THEN HATE IS SEX
IT MUST BE THE WAY I’M DRESSED
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS, WHO I AM
I AM SHAKING ALL OVER, BECAUSE
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
NEVER MIND, THIS ISN’T WORTH DISCUSSING ANYMORE
BE LIKE FRIENDS, AND BE LIKE ME
AND BE LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ON T.V.
A WARPED SENSE OF WHO YOU ARE
A WARPED SENSE OF WHO YOU ARE
MONSTROUS, TEMPTING, TORTURING
GNAWING AT THE RAW
EMPTIED IN THE FACE OF FAITHLESS
HE WALKS ON, HE GOES ON
RELIGION REMINDS HIM AT EVERY TURN
THAT HE IS MORTAL
HIS SEX BECOMES BLURRED
THERE IS NO TURNING BACK NOW
LIES ARE SEX, THE TRUTH IS SEX, LOVE IS SEX THEN HATE IS SEX
IT MUST BE THE WAY I'M DRESSED
IT MUST BE THE WAY I'M DRESSED
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS, WHO I AM
I AM SHAKING ALL OVER, BECAUSE
I KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON
NEVER MIND, THIS ISN'T WORTH DISCUSSING ANYMORE
BE LIKE FRIENDS, AND BE LIKE ME
AND BE LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ON T.V.
A WARPED SENSE OF WHO YOU ARE
A WARPED SENSE OF WHO YOU ARE
SOMEDAY MY HEAD WILL SPLIT AND I WILL STOP BREATHING
SOMETIMES I WONDER, WILL IT MATTER TO ANYONE
NOW HERE I SIT, ANOTHER PROMISE BROKEN
IT MUST BE THE WAY I'M DRESSED
IT MUST BE THE WAY I'M DRESSED
REPEAT CHORUS
4. Soul Of A Twenty-Two Year Old Lover
CHASE IT, THE PRESSURE BUILDING INSIDE
I APPROACH YOU, SEEING ONLY MY SIDE, ETC.
IT WAS BETTER NOT REALLY KNOWING MUCH ABOUT YOU
CAUSE NOW I KNOW I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU
SHALLOW, SHALLOW
CHASE IT, CHASE IT, CHASE IT
I AM YOUR WORLD, YOUR GOD, YOUR FUCK, LOVER
CHASE IT, THE PRESSURE BUILDING INSIDE
I APPROACH YOU, SEEING ONLY MY SIDE, ETC.
I FIND YOUR IDEAS
SO HARD TO SWALLOW
HOW CAN I SWALLOW?
WHEN YOU KEEP SHOVING THEM DOWN
AND SHOVING THEM DOWN
AND SHOVING THEM DOWN MY THROAT
CHASE IT, CHASE IT, CHASE IT
I AM YOUR WORLD, YOUR GOD, YOUR FUCK, LOVER
NOW IT’S OVER, I’VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
SMALL TALK, DINNER, COCKTAILS, SWEET NOTHINGS
SEX, ARGUE, SEX, ARGUE, SEX, ARGUE, SEX, ARGUE
IT’S OVER!!!
5. Beautiful Life
A WHITE VEIL ON A DARK HORSE
AS NATURE TAKES ITS COURSE
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES BEGIN TO SEE
A COSMIC CONNECTION
WITH A HATE INDUCED ERECTION
SCREAMING AT THE LIGHT IN DISBELIEF
I SAY YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, I THINK YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
A SOLO PLAY, A MASTURBATION GAME
YOUR BODY SPEAKS IN EVERY LANGUAGE
STOLEN LOVE RETURNS A LITTLE
WITH EACH SUNRISE
REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE IN THE WATERS REFLECTION
SOMEONE
I WILL ALWAYS BE AFRAID OF
SOMEONE
I CAN NEVER GET AWAY FROM
STONE SINKS I DROWN
THE SUNRISE
SUNRISE I WAKE UP, TO THE BEAUTIFUL
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL LIFE
NAKED PANIC
AS PURE AS CLEAN AS BIRTH
THERE’S NO NEED TO KNOW
NO NEED TO KNOW
PULL A PLACE, FROM YOUR PAST
MAKE IT NOW
INTENSIFIED - INTENSIFIED
SOMEONE
I WILL ALWAYS BE AFRAID OF
SOMEONE
I CAN NEVER GET AWAY FROM
THE WORLD BREATHES - I CONCEDE
AND I CONCEDE
TO THE BEAUTIFUL
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL LIFE
REPEAT CHORUS
6. Individious Exhibition
THEIR DARK RINGING VOICES BOOM IN THE MORNING AIR
JUST BEFORE DAWN AUTUMN SLEEPS WITH THEM
SUNDAY MORNING, EARLY MORNING
HOLY DAY I WENT TO HELL
I WANT TO BELIEVE, I WANT TO BREATHE
I WANT TO BE, IDOLIZE ME
BACKWARDS I BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN THE REFLECTION
BLOODLESS REFLECTION
OLDER THE STAINS REMAIN
STRANGE THE MEMORIES, IN BLACK AND WHITE
BREATHE OUT LOUD AND TWITCH GOODNIGHT
I WANT TO BELIEVE, I WANT TO BREATHE
I WANT TO BE, IDOLIZE ME
I HAVE REACHED AN INTERSECTION
OF FAME AND SEX AND DRUGS AND PAIN
SLIDES OF LIFE, SLIDES OF TONIGHT
STRANGE THE MEMORIES ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE
I WANT TO BELIEVE, I WANT TO BREATHE
I WANT TO BE, IDOLIZE ME!!!!!!!!
7. Slow Southern Crawl
AMERICAN BY BIRTH, SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD
GOT A FLAG FLYIN’ HIGH OUT FRONT
GOT A CROSS BURNIN’ IN MY BACK YARD
BORN AND RAISED A REBEL
I WILL STAND BESIDE MY KIN
CLINGING TO THE HOPE THAT THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
I DON’T CARE NONE, WHAT THEY CALL ME
A SLOW ASS, SOUTHERN, WHITE TRASH FUCKER
CRAWLING ON MY KNEES
AMERICAN BY BIRTH, SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, MY MOTHER AND MY SHOTGUN
ROAD HARD AND READY
I WILL DIE TO DEFEND THIS LAND
THE ONLY WAY YOU’LL GET MY GUN IS TO PRY IT FROM MY DEAD HAND
I DON’T CARE NONE, WHAT THEY CALL ME
A SLOW ASS, SOUTHERN, WHITE TRASH FUCKER
CRAWLING ON MY KNEES
AMERICAN BY BIRTH, SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD
GOT A FLAG FLYIN’ HIGH OUT FRONT
GOT A CROSS BURNIN’ IN MY BACK YARD
BORN AND RAISED A REBEL
I WILL STAND BESIDE MY KIN
CLINGING TO THE HOPE THAT THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
I DON’T CARE NONE, WHAT THEY CALL ME
A SLOW ASS, SOUTHERN, WHITE TRASH FUCKER
CRAWLING ON MY KNEES
8. Crush In A Mudfield
I SHOWED YOU ONE TIME IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
AND I GAVE YOU SERVICE WITH A SMILE
YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART IS
YOU SAY YOU CAN’T LET GO
NOW YOU’VE LET IT GO TOO FAR
CHORUS
SUN PLOT HIGH IN A HOT DAY SKY
WIND IS FAIR BLOWN, INTO THE GROUND
NO FORMULATION, JUST IDEAS
OF COLD AND BEAUTIFUL
I SHOWED YOU ONE TIME I WAS DANGEROUS
STILL I GAVE YOU SERVICE WITH A SMILE
DON’T TRY TO PRETEND IT’S NOT REAL
I’M SAD FOR WHO YOU ARE
YOU’RE MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND
CHORUS
SUN PLOT HIGH IN A HOT DAY SKY
WIND IS FAIR BLOWN, INTO THE GROUND
NO FORMULATION, JUST IDEAS
OF COLD AND BEAUTIFUL
SUN PLOT HIGH IN A HIGH DAY SKY
WIND IS FAIR BLOWN, INTO THE GROUND
NO FORMULATION, JUST IDEAS
OF COLD AND BEAUTIFUL
SAVE IT FOR ME
SUN PLOT HIGH IN A HOT DAY SKY
WIND IS FAIR BLOWN, INTO THE GROUND
NO FORMULATION, JUST IDEAS
OF COLD AND BEAUTIFUL
9. Confidence Man
FEEL THE WEAK GROUND, BENEATH THE FEET
THE BACKSIDE OF THE SOUL POUNDS
THE PULSE IS DEAFENING
WATCH THE EMOTION
MELT ACROSS THE FACE
WATCH THE EMOTION
SLOWLY TURN TO STONE
I, LIAR, I, MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE
MASQUERADING, BUT LOSE NO SLEEP
FLOAT TO THE CEILING, ON THE APOLOGIES
REFLECTING THE SOMEONE
I ALWAYS WANTED
REFLECTING THE SOMEONE
I ALWAYS, WANTED
I, LIAR, I, MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE
PEOPLE LOVE YOU WHEN YOU’RE REAL
WHEN WILL IT BE, MY TURN
SHELL OF A MAN STANDS WEAK AND ALONE
WITH ONLY HIMSELF, DONE WRONG
HOW CAN IT BE FORGOTTEN
HOW CAN IT BE, FORGOTTEN
I, LIAR, I, MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE
10. Politics Of Intimidation
GOD, I’M FUCKING SICK OF ALL YOU HALF-ASS BASTARDS
TRYING AND CRYING AND LYING AND BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE
FOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE YOURS
SO I’M INSTIGATING, INTIMIDATING,, I’M WAITING
TO SEE HOW FAR YOU’LL LET ME GO
I’LL KEEP PUSHING ‘TILL IT HURTS
THEN I’LL PUSH SOME MORE
I AM INTIMIDATION
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE BETTER
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE FASTER
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE STRONGER THAN ME?
GOD, I’M FUCKING SICK OF ALL YOU WORTHLESS BASTARDS
LIVING AND DYING AND THROWING AWAY YOUR LIVES THE WAY YOU DO
AND YOU DO, THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO LIVE
AND THAT’S BALLS OUT, BABY
INSTIGATING, INTIMIDATING, I’M WAITING
TO SEE HOW FAR YOU’LL LET ME GO
I’LL KEEP PUSHING ‘TIL IT HURTS
THEN I’LL PUSH SOME MORE
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE BETTER
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE FASTER
YOU THINK YOU’RE GONNA BE STRONGER THAN ME?
GOD, I’M FUCKING SICK SO FUCKING SICK OF ALL YOU
DUMB ASS, FUCKED UP, LOSER, NO BALLS HAVING PEOPLE
LIVING IN THE WAY,
SO I’M INSTIGATING, INTIMIDATING,, I’M WAITING
TO SEE HOW FAR YOU’LL LET ME GO
I’LL KEEP PUSHING ‘TILL IT HURTS
THEN I’LL PUSH SOME MORE
I AM INTIMIDATION
11. Feel
I’M FEELING BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT
NO THOUGHT OF WHAT I’M DOING TO WHAT I’M SAYING TONIGHT
DON’T FUCK WITH ME NOW, I’M AVAILABLE AND WILD EYED
AND I’M FLYIN’ YEAH I’M FLYIN’
CRAWLING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES CREEPING, SCREAMIN’
MOVE ME IT’S THE ALL AROUND YOU SENSATION CREEPING CRAWLING ON MY HEAD
THERE IS SOMETHING TO THIS-THE MOVEMENT ALL AROUND YOU THERE IS SOMETHING TO THIS
WRONG ----THIS TWISTED TIME-
SPENT BATHED IN A GREEN LIGHT
ACROSS THE ROOM HER WASHED OUT EYES REFLECT GUILT ME
EATING ME UP, LEADING TO LOVE- THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN
THIS NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED
WRONG ----ALL I FEEL
IN HEART, IN MIND- I WILL FEEL
IN HEART, IN MIND- ALIVE
IN HEART IN MIND- I WILL FEEL
IN HEART IN MIND, OWING TO DESIRE
SHALLOW-THERE’S NO DANGER OR FEAR OF GETTING LOST TO THIS
A MOMENT OF STIMULATION- THEN IT’S GONE, NO HESITATION
THEN IT’S WRONG-I’M A MAN
IT’S WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT
LOOK AROUND ALL I SEE
12. Sometimes
SOMETIMES, I FEEL IT’S WASTED
SOMETIMES, I FEEL IT’S WORSE
SOMETIMES, I FEEL CHEATED
SOMETIMES, IT’S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
I’M GONNA FIND A NEW WAY TO DIE TONIGHT
LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME SOMETHING ABOUT LIFE
YEAH, LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME SOMETHING
SOMETIMES, I FEEL ALONE
SOMETIMES, I FEEL IT STRONG
SOMETIMES, I FEEL OUTDONE
SOMETIMES, I FEEL UNDONE
BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE
AND WHO AM I TO QUESTION WHY
WHY WE NEVER LEARN
IT’S ALWAYS I, MY, ME, AND MINE
STILL IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
WHAT IS REAL WILL PROSPER
THE REST WILL JUST FESTER
IN THE PILE IT WAS LEFT IN
TO TRY AGAIN LATER
WHAT IS REAL WILL PREVAIL
WHAT IS REAL WILL PREVAIL
I AM REBORN, I WILL WALK AMONG YOU
A VICTIM NO MORE
A VICTIM NO MORE
STILL, IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
WHAT IS REAL WILL PREVAIL
WHAT IS REAL WILL PREVAIL
BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE
AND WHO AM I TO QUESTION WHY
WHY WE NEVER LEARN
IT’S ALWAYS I, MY, ME, AND MINE
13. Wallflower
BEFORE YOU GET ANY OLDER
BEFORE YOU DISAPPEAR
BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP
BEFORE THE CHEAPENED WINE
BEFORE ALL HOPE IS LOST
BEFORE YOU GET UNDRESSED
BEFORE THE WORLD GETS QUIET
BEFORE IT LEARNS TO CRAWL
