12. I Ain't Drunk, I'm Just Drinkin' (Bonus track)
1. 3-D Man
Who's got creative control
What governs imagination
The object is not right or wrong
The answer lies deep down within you
What's wrong with expressing our feelings
Through corporate lies and business lows
We will overcome the wheeling and dealing
And wade knee deep through the shit
Don't walk around, walk through you
Make you open your mind
Got no time for closed minds
3-D man, 3-D man
One dimension-now's the time
Two dimension-use your mind
Why must people categorize
Live the propaganda lies
I learned not to believe the hype
Just go with the urge to create
I got no time for closed minds
I got my feet on the ground, not in it
I don't see in tunnel vision or in black and white
"Cause I'm a 3-D man, I'm a 3-D man
I don't walk around, walk through you
Make you open your mind
Got no time for closed minds
3-D man, 3-D man
One dimension-now's the time
Two dimension-you gotta use your mind
'Cause I'm a three dimensional man
I'm a three dimensional man
2. Spy
I can see what you saw through my eyes
Every move you made I visualize
I dust for prints, I look through magnified eyes
I'm the confidant of behavioral science
And you're having a good time
Making innocents bleed
Now it's all I can bear
I'm gonna make you disappear
I got a double major in criminology
You'd have to be invisible to get past me
I got a nose like a hound on a fox's path
I keep myself busy huntin' psychopaths
Are you having a good time?
I see you've made the front page
Now it's all I can bear
I'm gonna make you disappear
I can make you disappear
You took your time and picked your crime
One in a million for me to find
One little clue you left behind
Evaluate your mistake
Got me a sign, now you're running out of time
Everybody knows me by name
But they don't recognize me when I change
I swear I got eyes in the back of my head
I can see in the dark, I got the infrared
Got you in my sights, there's no place to run
You know it's too late,
'cause there's a voice in your head
But you don't wanna hear
Now enough has been said
It's time to make you disappear
I can make you disappear
And you're having a good time
Making innocents bleed
It's all I can bear
I'm gonna make you disappear
3. Gentleman Death
If killing brings guilt, does guilt bring shame
Am I blessed or possessed
Should I lay to rest or live my death
In power, fortune, and fame
Hypnotize, mesmerize
Every night pray to god
Doesn't mean a thing
Face of stone, jewel-like eyes
Immortal power surge
Visualize, terror rise
Give in to the urge
Hypnotize, mesmerize
Every night pray to god
Doesn't mean a thing
At dawn he sleeps, no faith he keeps
Afraid to close your eyes
Immune to mercy (gentleman death)
Out go the candles of life
Intoxicated on lifeblood (gentleman death)
In comes the darkness
Trapped in flesh that won't decay
No warmth, no sun, no day
Everlasting life, downhill slide
Paid vacation, free ride
Mirror lies, reflection hides
Every night follow me
Offer up a prayer
I'm as real as god can be
Now it's your turn
4. Forever Alone
You walk around with that smile on your face
Making people think you care
What you don't know is I can see through your facade
The darkness overrides the glare
You better watch yourself. Be careful what you do.
You make your friends so you can slip into their lives
Try and bring them down with you
Always talking shit about premonitions and predictions
Now I'm catching on to you
You better watch yourself. Be careful what you do.
Power can create a fool
You're gonna wake up one that's more powerful than you
Always wished for things
Not always wishing for the right things
Taking for granted things you can't even begin to understand
In this lifetime
Ever wonder how you learned to loathe
Ever wonder where you planned to go
Is this dark trick what you really want
To be forever alone
You can't look me in the eye
You bite your tongue and taste the blood
Look in the mirror and you cry
You hate yourself
You better watch yourself. Be careful what you do.
Sometimes hatred turns on you
You gotta learn to be afraid of what your fate
Might hold you to
You better watch yourself. Be careful what you do.
In this game there are no rules
And you can never win, because too much pride's the ultimate sin
Take heed to the warning
There's no revenge that's sweet enough
For the grief you'll endure
When you explore....
5. Draintime
I can see things changing slowly
I can see things, they're not there
Breathing and slurred before my eyes
Sitting alone still awake
Pleased to meet you, hello hello
My name is john, mister doe
My octagon eye is blazing red
Can we shake hands or shall I say I knew you
Well, I'm sure I know what I really don't
And I see real well with all of these eyes
When satin feels like broken glass
I know it's time to smile
Draintime, Draintime
Now it's time to say goodbye to me
I saw everything one hundred years ago
I am the bullet that killed the president
You know the secret of my rotten teeth
And the snake that I sleep with on my bed of nails
I look out over the fields of green
And I can't seem to smell the fragrance of the flowers
I look to the sun, I see a void of darkness
I see things and hear things ,yet nothing exists
Draintime, Draintime
Slowly but surely my time comes
Draintime, Draintime
6. Surrounded By Idiots
All through my life every day's the same
And they tell me I'm losing again
I can talk until I'm blue in the face
But can you tell me who's the one to blame
And what are you gonna do when we get old
And we're tired of doing what we're told
Because the government's broke and we're out of place
In a country that's already been sold
I don't know what to think
But I know what I see
I think I'll have another drink
You wanna join me?
I can't make sense out of any of this
The more I try, the more I get pissed
This confusion that I can't erase
Can't seem to crawl out of the abyss
Desperate groupie making a pass
The little slut didn't just want my ass
She said, "I wanna be cool and have a rockstar's kid"
But will the novelty of the bastard last?
I don't know what to think
But I know what I see
I think I'll have another drink
Wanna join me?
Surrounded, Surrounded, Surrounded
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
(Here I am) Surrounded, I'm surrounded, surrounded
Surrounded by idiots
The TV gods and the jesus freaks and the flag burners
And the rapists, and the murderers, would you check out
All the geeks...I can't believe what walks the streets
From Hollywood to D.C.
You banned little red riding hood
censored mister rogers' neighborhood
I go to jail if they find a seed
But meanwhile the mayor runs free
Now I know what I think
And I know what I see
I say everything sucks
You agree!
Surrounded, Surrounded, Surrounded
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
(Here I am) Surrounded, I'm surrounded, surrounded
Surrounded by idiots!
7. Desert Grins
In the heat of the day, feel the power of the sun
Sweat burns your eyes like an acid shower
Buzzards overhead show no mercy for no one
An imminent death from the epitome of power
Now, look to the sky, it never ends, it just begins
Go ahead and try to outrun the heat
Sand feels like fire to your feet
As you look around for miles and miles
Panic sets in as the desert smiles
Now, look to the sky, it never ends, it just begins
Desert grins
The desert smiles
Give up your soul to the land
The desert smiles
You realize that you're merely man
Dusk falls cooling the brain in your skull
You can make up some time, but which way to go
Now here comes the night and you're freezing in blackness
The earth comes alive as you drift into madness
Now, look to the sky, through swollen eyes, you'll never win
Now, nighttime sets in, the desert is your only friend
The desert smiles
Give up your soul to the land
The desert smiles
Trapped in a living, breathing blanket of sand
The desert smiles
Don't you try to understand
The desert smiles
You realize that you're merely man
8. What's Your Pleasure?
The game is never ending
No escape
Here's something you don't understand
Well, that's your mistake
Pain for pleasure, pleasure for pain
Hooks through your skin like a needle in the brain
Parasitoris, razor blade, blood on the mattress, reincarnate
It's time to play so don't be a tease
You summoned us up, now it's time to please
This isn't a dream and all is not well
Your suffering will be legendary
Even in hell
The doctor is in
What's your pleasure, sir?
You want my reccomendation
I say amputation
Now is the time, time to lose reality
There's so many things to see in the other world
Now you're here, you can scream it's a dream
Nothing you have ever seen in this other place
It's the time, time to lose reality
There's so many things to see in this other world
Now you're here, you can scream it's a dream
Nothing you have ever seen
Lost without a trace
Now your head is spinning, your mind's gone wild
Lost like a rat in a maze
You know you can't escape me, child
I can see you from miles away
It's from your mistakes that you can learn
Play with fire, you're sure to get burned
Well, I'm the fire in the hole
And I'm here to burn your soul
The torture is your subconscious desire
A lesson in ecstasy
You wear your skin so well, deciever
Through those eyes I can't see
Smile as the living arrow enters
And to think I waited this long
Now is the time, time to lose reality
There's so many things to see in the other world
Now you're here, you can scream it's a dream
Nothing you have ever seen in this other place
It's the time, time to lose reality
There's so many things to see in this other world
Now you're here, you can scream it's a dream
Nothing you have ever seen
Lost without a trace
Now is the time
Time to lose reality
There's so many things to see
When you're in this other world

10. Another Nameless Face
Taunted and troubled, he raises his hand
Draws his fist, lets it all fall loose again
He's chained to his life, it's a walking, talking death
And he's losing his grip with every passing breath
Weary eyed and weak, he pulls himself up
Tries to take a drink, but he drinks from an empty cup
Yellow running down his back, blue across his face
He was givin his colors in the human race
Well his features are worn, there's darkness in his eyes
Some say madness--it's the perfect state of mind
He hears a rumbling silence that's louder than any words
To him it has more to offer than anything he's ever heard
So tell me, where can he go, which way can he face?
Does the wind blow
For another nameless face?
What's another nameless face
In another nameless place
So what's another nameless face
Well, some people say
Blue is for insanity, yellow is for shame
Colors might just tell you things
Should not be explained
11. //
Falsify, riding on the wings of time
Ancient tribes saw the future in fire
Reason for departure will void all questions
We didn't have this sort of thing in mind
De-evolution's started, we can only lay down
And hope there's a better place
People talking, judgment walking, evaluation's coming soon
Parallel minds buying their time, gonna find the end of mankind
Electrify, crowds of people turn and stare
No disguise, watch our lives get re-arranged
A public announcement about to be made
For all of those concerned to hear
There are people outside, all wanna come in
Come on in out of the rain
Buildings standing, bodies falling, evaluation's coming soon
Parallel minds buying their time, gonna find the end
Time for change before it's too late
Peace must reign, it's such a shame
You don't know what the future has in store for you
Time for change, it's such a shame
Peace must reign, before it's too late
No more lies, there's not a cloud up in the sky
Tempers flare, see the world go through a change
Life as we knew it just ain't the same
The children will ask the reasons why
How good and evil both live in fear
From conflict that started in the brain
Time for change before it's too late
Peace must reign, it's such a shame
You don't know what the future holds for you
Time for change before it's too late
Peace must reign, it's such a shame
You don't know what the future has in store for you
