1. Drag
Within grasp of an answer
One thousand years are lost
Wheels are turning
Crushing your skull
Pressure increase
Pressure increase
Machine of the mind in constant motion
Machine of the mind in constant motion
And the third eye will forever
Set you falling backward
2. Face It
Remembering back on your life
At a time things were different then
wasn't sure what time would bring
But you knew it couldn't be the same
The feelings you had, the power they held
Knew deep down inside no matter how you tried.
It just wouldn't last, the magic would die
You hoped it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Prayed it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Like everything else their memory begins to fade
So much time has gone away so many things had to change
Now what are you gonna do
Sit around and mope or get off your ass
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
you know you want it back but theres nothing you can do
You've got to stop living in the past
And go on with the rest of your life
It's just fact of life
You've gotta accept the fact
That things aren't going to have to stay the same
And you're not the only one in hoping they would stay
Why can't you put as much power of your feelings
Into something useful to make an effort
To overcome and make a new life for yourself
Just because things aren't the same
Doesn't mean they can't be as good or even better
Rise above the change don't let it keep holding you back forever
Once you see you can fully control your fate
Then you'll know that you should just do the best you can
And you'll find out that that it's not so bad
At least you'll know that you gave it your best shot
3. Not Quite Sure
Well I don't know where I'm going
And I'm not sure where I've been
And I don't really feel like going outside
But I don't feel like staying in
The feelings I have and the words I say
Just aren't too clear to me
Why do I feel like I'm trapped inside
What do you want from me
Well I don't really feel like getting drunk
But I'd really like beer
And I really don't have too much to say
But I'm really glad you're here
Theres frustration inside I don't know why
Theres no reason I can see
No matter how I try I can't hold it in
But I just can't let go
Theres just no use in fighting it
I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well watch Sanford and Son
And pound another beer
I appreciate the fact you took the time out
I guess it's just no use
If I can't help myself no one else can
I guess I'll be okay
4. Missing Children
The last house on the block
On a street in nowheresville
Picture in the Sunday paper
Police blockage neighbors didn't hear a thing
Flesh in the sink
Blood on the walls
Suicide cult - blood sacrifice
No one will find
Was life at home so bad - why did you have to leave
Who is the stranger killing you - it hurts beyond belief
Do the ones you love realize the hell that you're in?
Unfair to know it's not your fault - why do you have to die?
- chorus -
They're missing
Theres no turning back - you wouldn't know how
You pray to God above - you feel so alone
You wish you had the chance to go back to your home
You fight for your life - you wish you were dead
5. Gimme Shelter
6. Crimson Dreams
Lonely days
Restless nights
Lovers play
Lovers fight
- chorus -
Shelter me from the echoes of screams
Awaken me from the dreams
Quiet time
Lovers kiss
Violent crime
Destroyed bliss
- chorus -
Child cries
Anger grows
Plunging knife
Then blood flows
- chorus -
Who is wrong
Who is right
Victims all
Family fight
- chorus -
Shelter me
7. No Deals
Why do you think you have to
Put a chain on me
Why can't you let go
And just leave me be
Why does your life have to
Have so many rules
Just because we're happy
Doesn't mean we're fools
You can't hold me
You can't hold me
You can't control me
You can't control me
You can't stop me I'm already out the door
Can't stand to see us
Living life so free
Try to keep us locked up
But we hold the key
Why do you always have to
Try to bring us down
This life we're living
Comes only once around
You can't take it away
You can't take it away
We're gonna break away
We're gonna break away
We'll hit the ground running we ain't never gonna fall
Might not live the right way
But who's to say what's bad
Never done you no harm
With the fun we've had
The way you try to judge us
You've got no right to say
We're gonna live our own way
No matter what you say
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break me
Can't make me live your life I'm gonna live my own
8. Let Them Die
Black darkened streets, walls of decay
"Why do they have to live this way?"
Show em lots of pity and give em support
"They can't help the way they are"
Take a life for a buck, maybe for kicks
"They don't know what they do"
Let em off with a warning, just a slap on the wrist
They'll be back again
They blame it on the streets
"They've had it so bad"
"Much worse off than most"
"So give em another chance"
Rather join a gang than to make a stand
For their own identity
Stupid violence justifies a stupid cause
Just an excuse for stupid minds
Know they'll get away with murder whatever they do
Why should they have to fear?
The lawyer knows his stuff, the mother sheds a tear
Probation for a year
A symbol of power
It's just a joke!
When will it end?
I'd rather see em dead!
9. Stone Dead Forever
10. Borderline Retard
