1. I Quit
Watch it unfold
The drama pours from your hole
You think it’s all about you
You’re just another selfish bitch
That sucks the life out of men
Until they start to twitch
I watch from the distance
Full of resistance|
I smile as the other’s fall
Look in my savage eyes
I see through all your shit
Watch me as I’m leaving you
I’m out and I Quit!
You reap what you sow
You dig another hole
As you fall further down
Got no place for sour grapes
It seems that I’ve lost the taste
Still you wear the crown
I won’t be grounded
I will be sounded
As your drama drowns
Look in my savage eyes
I see through all your shit
Watch me as I’m leaving you
I’m out and I Quit!
Now I see what other’s saw
All the time that I lost
It can’t be rebought
Flaming arrows shot at time
What a waste what a crime
We’re gonna see you burn
The lies that you spill
When you open up your mouth
You’re just a little kid pretending to be an adult
Look in my savage eyes
I see through all your shit
Watch me as I’m leaving you
I’m out and I Quit!
2. Riding The Curve
Let’s Go!
I want to see what you’re made of
I want to see what you have got
When I turn the bottle up
It don’t seem like a lot
I’m riding the curve
I’ve got a lot to say
Let’s ride the curve
Let’s ride it all the way
Dirty girls and alcohol
They push me up against the wall
Dirty living everyday
Ain’t got no reason to change my ways
I’m riding the curve
I’ve got a lot to say
Let’s ride the curve
Let’s ride it all the way
Those whiskey nights
You dragged me through
You had my will torn in two
Another shot? I turn it up
It leaves me face down in the mud!
I’m riding the curve
I’ve got a lot to say
Let’s ride the curve
Let’s ride it all the way
Let’s Go!
3. Do You Remember Me?
Your eyes tell the truth
As you endorse your sadness
Irrations from the start
You depend on avoidance
To flee inside yourself
You can’t oppress this madness
Fatigue and torment are the only friends you have
Do you remember me?
Do you remember?
You gratify your “all”
As you peel away your skin
You exhaust yourself
Doesn’t it seem so fitting?
Retreat for protection
Left wide open for dissection
As you throw away
Everything you had
Do you remember me?
Do you remember?
4. How Far Would You Go?
You’ve tried to beat me before
But never again from this day
You tried to take all control
But you couldn’t take it away
You won’t take it away
Should I expect the worst?
But I’ve seen the choice you make
Hell is written all over my face
And there’s nothing left for you to break!
Nothing left to break!
How far would you go?
To try and take it away
How far would you go?
Can’t you see that I won’t break!
You’ll see me when the fire dies
When I expose all of your lies
Your tears will become my fuel
I’ll watch the demise of you
This is the end and you’re gonna burn!
How far will I go?
Now that the path is clear
How far will I go?
What you don’t see you will hear!
5. It's the Only Thing She Knows
So you extend
To fix the mess of another
You weren’t there from the start
But it’s left its mark
On you…
This fractured man
Mends the broken girl
She clings to her fix
‘cause it’s the only thing she knows…
6. Who Are You?
There’s a silhouette in the threshold
What do you want from me?
What will you take away?
Is it my innocence that you crave?
Is it power that you starve for?
Is it what you need?
How does it feel to take advantage
Of this lonely kid?
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
Who are you?
Just let me be.
Your image has kept me running
All of my life
Running won’t do, no more!
Show me your face!
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
Who are you?
Just let me be…
7. Now It's My Turn
There’s a silhouette in the threshold
What do you want from me?
What will you take away?
Is it my innocence that you crave?
Is it power that you starve for?
Is it what you need?
How does it feel to take advantage
Of this lonely kid?
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
Who are you?
Just let me be.
Your image has kept me running
All of my life
Running won’t do, no more!
Show me your face!
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
Who are you?
Just let me be…
8. Just Another Junkie
9. So Far Away
You are so far away
Time takes you far away
I want to see what life brings
I want the best to come of me
I’m going to leave behind the misery
The times and places that I’ve left behind
It’s a land with no memory
It’s a song that is loss for words
Take me to that place
And as you pull me in
You brush against my skin
I picture myself right there
Now that I’m so far away
Time took me so far away
Now that the songs have lost their words
Take me to that place
And as you watch me go
And you’ll watch me go
From the distance you’ll see me shine
10. Nectar
A saucy girl with hair of fire
She’s got bruises on her knees
Burn marks on her arms
Just to prove she can please
Her eyes are sagging
From the secrets she keeps
She’s got a full history
She might have a disease
Another drink and you know
She’ll be down on her knees
Tied to no one
She lives day to day
Feeding her addiction
She’s got bills to pay
She’s got you in the corner
What will you do when she says
“Spread you legs and let me suck the nectar from you”
11. Erase My Pain
There’s a problem with me
I can’t seem to shake it away
It feeds on the doubts
And it’s fueled by uncertainty
Suspicion gives birth
To this animal inside of me
Shaping faults that cease to exist
This madness is all I see
It feeds on the doubts
And it’s fueled by uncertainty
As I tear at my prey
This angry heart tries to push you away
This flaw in me
Is your hero’s tragic end?
The one that you reach
Has let you down
Jealousy mocks my soul
It’s reduced to ash
As this night stands still
Erase the pain I can no longer mask
Erase the pain inside of me…
12. The Faith
I’ve walked this mile for years and years
The endless trail of dust and tears
Still I reach with sincere intentions
This instinct is my strong conviction
I wear the mark for my pledge to this oath
Stained with blood and the sweat starts to show
Seasons try to pollute what is pure
Coil and strike let the prey fade away
Begin the destructive process
It seems to fit the sickness
Obsessed with the will to win
Undermine to obtain and to gain
Obsessed with the will to win
Undermine to obtain and to gain
Obsessed with the will to win
Possessed to maintain The Faith
13. Underneath It All
So you coil in the corner again
Weakness is your only friend
You ride the highs of depression again
This agony consumes and it lends
You’re self destructive you don’t need anyone
So you tack your soul to the wall
Debased and helpless you buckle again
As you blanket your sins
Another night you’re restless and weak
You depend on your mind to provide
To provoke the madness within
Debased and lonely you crumble again
Still you reach for solutions inside
You reduce yourself to ash
Still you try to push it away
But underneath you cling like a child
Where is your will to resist?
Your instincts always persist
14. Who's Drinking With the Devil Tonight?
Primed up it’s another night
Gonna push it further this time
Jacked up got Crue on the box
And it’s only 12 am
Don’t wanna know where we’re going
Don’t wanna know where we’ve been
Just know one things for sure
We won’t stop ‘til we collapse
I’ve got a stumble a little slur in my speech
It don’t matter ‘cause I don’t give a shit
Drink the backwash, can’t waste a drop
I cover one eye to drive
Take a shot turn the bottle up
There’s no guilt and no glory
Don’t worry about tomorrow ‘til the sun comes up
Who’s drinking with the devil tonight?
Another Jaeger another creeper
“Keep ‘em coming ‘til we fall”
Getting cooked on Decatur
Where’s there’s no “last call”
Take a shot turn the bottle up
There’s no guilt and no glory
Don’t worry about tomorrow ‘til the sun comes up
Who’s drinking with the devil tonight?
