1. Take My Scars
2. Negative Creep (Nirvana cover)
3. Take My Scars (live)
4. Blood for Blood (live)
1. Take My Scars
It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore
It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage
You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
[Lead: Robb]
Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine
They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find
Why can't you fuckin' open
Open your eyes
2. Negative Creep (Nirvana cover)
This is out of our range... and it's grown
This is getting to be... a drone
I'm a negative creep... and I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep...
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more...
This is out of our range... and it's grown
This is getting to be... a drone
I'm a negative creep... and I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep...
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more...
Yeah!... Drone!... Stoned!
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more...
3. Take My Scars (live)
It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore
It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage
You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
[Lead: Robb]
Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine
They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find
Why can't you fuckin' open
Open your eyes
4. Blood for Blood (live)
I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth
[Chorus:]
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Beatings is what you'll inherit this time
Fast bait, your new name
Your pain is my shine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
[Chorus]
I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
[Chorus]
