1. Never to Reveal
2. Double Zero (Snippet)
3. Wading Through the Darkness (Snippet)
4. (Ain't Nothing Gonna)Save This World (Snippet)
1. Never to Reveal
Turning to the right, feel it getting tight
Demand of the heart, my hands rip apart
I'm so afraid, my welcome overstayed
Never find a way to make all this O.K.
Sleepless nights, I am forever awake
Just one taste--won't let it go to waste
The way I feel--Never to reveal
Just one taste-of my own space
Fucking sick of this, hope my tongue don't slip
Familiar trips, loosen up its grip
Instinct never worked anyway, what I've seen I just can't say
My sight's been taken, my eyes betray
Just one taste--won't let it go to waste
The way I feel--Never to reveal
Just one taste-of my own space
My hands at my back, pushing violent acts
The truth an artifact
The rabbit in the hat
Kicking out this make believe
Dedicate a new belief
The risk runs high, but I've gotta try
Hold it all inside, until the day I die
2. Double Zero (Snippet)
Here comes the message from the antennae
Who knows how transmissions came
I've got the license a bag of passports
Even I don't know who I am
Howling bullets fly by so often
I can hear them buzz
I've lived in deserts, I've warred on cities
I don't even know where I was
Remember Israel and Korea
Kuwait's the best time I ever had
Had an accomplice who knew of nothing
I killed the best friend I had
Can't be too careful, can't use computers
They're gonna catch my disease
I work alone don't trust my own mother
Scratched out like ticks and fleas
Dial double zero
Call me whenever you have got a war
Home's where the guns are
My bed's the ammo and no one comes to my door
Dial double zero
Wherever you start a war
More of me going than I've got coming
They'll squeeze my blood through the skin
I shouldn't have wasted my education
The fucking trouble I'm in
I've got your had on, I've got your suitcase
I'm you when you're gone
Out here thinking like
I'm never me too long
Dial double zero
Call me whenever you have got a war
Home's where the guns are
My bed's the ammo and no one comes to my door
Dial double zero
Wherever you start a war
3. Wading Through the Darkness (Snippet)
Wading Through the Darkness
Put a gun to my head
The storm's too deep outlook dead
Handing down that anger
Nothing good ever lasts
Moody violence
Now a fool in my eyes
What's the answer, I'll search till I die
Try a little harder I hear myself say
Make it last before it's taken away
Wading through the darkness
My head held in my hands
Wading through the darkness
Forced to forget this anguish
I'm half of what I used to be
Erase my memory
Now gone forever goodbye
But I know my memories won't die
Wading through the darkness
My head held in my hands
Wading through the darkness
Dead inside with a heart that bleeds
Relax my tension needs
Tightness suffocates
Too dense to focus
I'll see it through the day
No longer churning inside
Rotted memories inhabit my mind
My rage destroys the calm
Destroys the calm
Wading through the darkness
My head held in my hands
Wading through the darkness
4. (Ain't Nothing Gonna)Save This World (Snippet)
