1. Wake Up/The Wind Up
Wake up
The wind up
Hope you got
Your mind made up
I got time
But you take it all up
Try and stand my ground
And you shake it all up
Making my way
Yet I feel
I'm still fucking it up
Got my head
Screwed on wrong
Busted my face
When I walked in the place
Fucked up
When I got my first taste
Got money to spend
Time to waste
Candle's burning
At both ends
So baby make haste
What can you do
When it's all in front of you
And keeping on
All they ask of you
I ask "What if...?"
They say
"You'll know what to do"
Wake up
The wind up
Catching up
I want to dream
But can't get that deep
Here's your last cigarette
A flashback of shit
You ain't done yet
Here's your wake up call
For once for all
2. Routine Seizure
Shake it to the left
Shake it to the right
Something on my mind
Just forget it alright
Swing to the left
Swing to the right
I got a mind
Gonna lose it tonight
Right left right
All rise
All night
Swing to the left
Swing to the right
I got a right
Gonna use it tonight
The lifetime countdown
Pull the pin
On the six foot timebomb
Step up sit down
Drink the bourbon down
Til my feet
Are firmly planted
On the ground
Down all your days
Which road
Is it gonna be
That you have
Chosen for me
So many lies
How can I see
No not now
I'm not gonna go
Unless you gonna let me
Take it down slow
Time's fucking money
By now I though
You'd know
Twenty four hours
Three six five days
All rise alright
3. I Can't Slow Down
The ink is running
From the sweat
Running off my face
"What you up to?"
Is what it's come to
Time and time again
I can't remember
Where I've been
Time after time
This heat is mine
Burning out the bend
But I can't slow down
This time
I'll resent bumming
Run down slumming
The end is coming
And it ain't even funny
This time I'll resent
Jumping
Before the bridge
Burning it
Not so sure
What's under it
Running
Can't stop running
The tears keep coming
But I can't slow down
Yesterday's news
leaks through
A hole in my shoe
Her kiss left a bit...
...a bit of a bruise
Keep it coming
Yesterday's news
Leaks through a hole
In my shoe
There's nothing left...
...left to lose
Keep it coming
4. Ammunition
Oh man
I've been nothing
For all month
Can't decide
Whether to scream
Or keep my mouth shut
They say
"You wait, you'll get
Your chance..."
But sometimes that shit
Don't move fast enough
Can I give you
What you need
Mouth's dry
And there's egos to feed
I get cut up
Sometimes I don't bleed
I got a moron inside
It gets anxious
From time to time
No matter
What day what time
He always gets in
The last line
Let's get down to it
I've got ammunition
Now what the fuck
Am I supposed to do with it?
Man it's a pain
Running the gauntlet
Again and again
But I'm used to it
And I've got stupidity
To put me up to it
And it makes me
Want to scream
When I feel those bullets
Rip through me
Can you see through me?
Blast first
Outburst
I'm prepared for the worst
5. Hydrant
All the words
Hold no weight anymore
I opened the door
And fell through
You'll be the hydrant
You'll be the flood
You'll be the boiling
Of my blood
Clear blue eyes
Focused
On the hole in the sky
You'll be mine
You waste your life
Don't hide your face
Hell burns away
6. Snake Killer
Tho hundred watt halo
Got my mind blown
This my license
To your world overthrow
Scream defeat
Mindfuck deceit
Til I bleed on all that I own
Total doublecross
You don't want it with me
Fresh wound dipped in lime
You don't want it with me
I'm peaking
The pieces fall into place
Straight lines easy to erase
I'm peaking
Who you are is something
I can't understand
I blocked you out
I guess that was part of the plan
Who you are is something
I can't understand
I blocked you out
I've made my final demand
Snake killer
Test your placement
In front of my iron fist
7. Earth Razor
The man's comin' down
The sight of it
Is gonna knock me down
Infinity waitin'
To see that crown
When he shows up
Hope he don't let the
Ground swallow me up
You don't get it
Ain't no use showin' up
I'm lightin' flares
So he don't pass me up
Don't leave me be
Doin' my best
With all the trouble
Blowin' up
Earth razor
Ring me later
Fools I'm pulling your card
Act so tough
Pushing your weight
'Round the yard
Don't leave me
Don't leave me here
Fools I'm getting over
Feel your feet
Sinking lower and lower
8. Light
Your light is flight
Remember the day
They couldn't take it away
It just took over
Spill all over
I'm coming over
Forever recovered
Your light is flight
I just can't stop it
So hot
But I just can't drop it
Here's the key
Please unlock it
Does it burn like this
On your finger
On your wrist
I'm losing my mind
Don't want to waste your
Time
I'll retrace every line
It's the same thing
I find
Breathe
Blue light
All night
Feel alright
I just might
Seal the deal outright
I'm losing my mind
Don't you waste my time
I'll retrace every line
It's the same thing I find
Light
9. Alive
Lit
Fuse
Feed
Forever
I'm alive
Fuck all this shit
I'm never coming home
I ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna answer
The phone
Gonna wander this earth
Til there's nowhere
Left to roam
Got help this time
Gonna kick and climb
Feel so high
Like I'm never gonna fall
No not me
No not at all
Time's up this time
Gonna kick and climb
Feel so high
Like I'm never gonna fall
No not me
No not at all
Carry me
No more
Hang my head
No more
