1. The Wait / New High in Lows
Waiting for my heart to stop, I hear it beating in the dark,
It keeps me up here, where I lay.
A constant source of agrivation for an overactive imagination,
Keeps me awake, here where I lay.
I... will wait.
Sizing up a brand new rope, to use it now would be a joke,
To hang me up here, where I wait.
Turning on the light that blinds me, to make it easier to find me,
And light me up here, where I wait.
I... will wait!
Erase the pain of what I know,
Not the smell of mercy on me!
I'm reaching down into a new high in lows!
Not the smell of mercy on me!
Whats been doin' where ya comin' from?
Where you been hiding? been missing more than some.
Took a ride when I should'a walked,
Got there way to fast.
Should'a listened 'stead of talked,
First become the last.
Waiting for my heart to stop, I hear it beating in the dark,
It keeps me up here, where I wait.
But I... will wait.
Not the smell of mercy on me!
New high in lows!
Not the smell of mercy on me!
2. Elimination
terminal, what disease
told me too late
what's this cough and wheeze
fatal, you're shittin' me
a second opinion
is what I need
laughin' in a windstorm
blowin' all the cornstalks down
cryin' in a funeral home
forward my mail, six feet underground
elimination
elimination
elimination
elimination
contagious, say why not
not just me
waitin' to rot
painful, yeah I know
it couldn't be easy
when I had to go
i'm yankin' on my plug
and I can't seem to get it loose
pullin' all the stops
your ideals change. when you got
nothing to loose.
elimination
elimination
elimination
elimination
eliminate the right
eliminate the wrong
eliminate the weak
eliminate the strong
eliminate your feelings
eliminate too late
eliminate the hope
eliminate, eliminate
if I had just one more day
i'd turn it all around
i'd make a play of good, clean livin'
and dig me out of the ground
and if I had just one more day
i'd say it to your face
pull the plug on everyone
eliminate this race.
we want to cure
and we want it now.
reissue hope
we don't care how
you're makin' a mess
diseasin' a nation
runaway train to elimination
hopeless there's no doubt
set on a slow burn
from the inside out
carefully say what for
last one out
closes the coffin door
spendin' all you saved
and wishin' for a little more
if i'm lookin' at the ceilin'
then I must be layin' on the floor.
elimination
elimination
elimination
elimination
terminal, what disease
told me too late
what's this cough and wheeze
fatal... you're shittin' me
a second opinion
there's gotta be
laughin' at the epidemic
something is going around
crying at the epidemic
pullin' on nails, six feet underground.
elimination
elimination
elimination
elimination
eliminate the right
eliminate the wrong
eliminate the weak
eliminate the strong
eliminate your feelings
eliminate too late
eliminate the hope
eliminate, eliminate
3. Rotten to the Core
I have got a secret, hidden behind my eyes.
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies.
Locked deep within a chamber, dark reccesses of my mind...
A tribute to insanity! through hours days and time.
Rotten! to the core
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more.
Accusations nominal! fall rotten to the core.
So take a look, read a book, reach a new plateau...!
But stain the soul a life you took,
you know not what I know.
Rotten! to the core
Misguided youth the bitter truth
Nothing left to chance...
Fallen angel seeking adventure, new romance.
How dare you touch you take the soul
Of one so pure so... white..!
The violation tragedy
Took all she had that... night!!!
Rotten! to the core
I have got a secret hidden behind my eyes.
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies.
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more.
Accusations nominal! fall rotten to the core.
Rotten! to the core
To the core!
Rot rot, rot rot, rot
Rot rot, rot rot, rotten! rotten! rot!
To the core!!!
