Modern Medicine
01:55
|

I took the pills, it made it worse
I took the medication everybody said it works
I gave 'em money, they gave me lies
I took a couple hits, I think I'd rather fucking die
Modern medicine I think the sick is settin' in
So here we go again, I'll choke it down again
I'll cough it up and I'll wretch out a lung again
They said there's side effects, the worst is coming next
I'll close my eyes and I'll hope for the worst I guess
I took the pill from my doctor, now the night's getting darker
Now the night's getting longer, and I'm not feeling better
No I'm not feeling better, no I'm just feeling bitter

Pathetic Desperate
00:56
|
|||
Let me get the thoughts outside, the baggage left inside my mind
Words are missing, eyes are closed, shaking in the corner
you're pathetic... desperate
Wanna think this can't be real, living's my Achilles' heel
Better than I was before but the broken bones have shown me you're
pathetic... desperate... dead

Nervous Eyes
01:36
|

Is the world still there?
Do people still walk and talk and stop and stare?
Sometimes I miss those eyes
But I'm glad that I'm barely alive
Asleep so long
Dreams and life seem to blend in the same damn song
Here's my so long
Goodbye and thanks for all the years they're gone
But those eyes see everything, those eyes ain't watching me
Is there a world to see?
Is there more to life than shitting and breathing?
Should I give it a try?
Should I?
It'll be there tomorrow
but never like before
and it'll be there tomorrow
and every day from here 'til ever more
Exit, bad habit
Just quit, you never had it
Tough shit, you're dissapointed
Not me, I'm not perfect

Nothing Grows
02:07
|
|||
Scratched on the pavement
and the forest and they all turn into dust
Walking by the sidewalk
and the houses and the cars all full of rust
The places that I've been to on the outskirts of the town I used to know
And now I'm back here praying by the secrets and the woods I used to go
I'm not screaming, for the first time
I'm not bleeding, like the last time
I'm not deceiving, I swear to god I'm trying
With all these blood stains, you'll never catch me lying
So welcome home...
Where there used to be life here, nothing grows
So I stared at the wall
and the wall stared back at me
and as we both stood blank and lifeless
I soon began to see
These bricks that make a house, aren't the bricks that make a home
and what was once an eden, is a place where nothing grows

Overrated Life
01:46
|
|||
Everyday's a waste of breath
Culmination of nothing left
The bitter taste of self defeat
The smell of blood from something... sweet
Blood shot eyes and apathy
The smell is fucking saccharine
Another day of nothing left
You'll work until the day you're dead
So cut me open and bleed me dry
Just take the parts that keep me alive
Rip the veins and cut the skin,
deeper now go deeper in
deeper now, stick it in
I fucking doubt I'll see the sun tomorrow
I'm overdue on all the time I borrowed
I never asked to fucking be created
Now I'm over life, because it's over rated

Validation
01:25
|
|||
I got my hopes all raised again
There's something dying and it better give in
Because I choked on the last situation
I'm only looking for some validation
All I have is to want
The sick get sicker and it's sickening
The pressure's kickin', and it's kickin' in
Better get up, better get it actin'
A wish and waiting never made it happen

Destined Days
02:19
|
|||
Not a soul saw me as I stepped into the light
Under cover of darkness, under blackness of night
I lit the fuze on another cigarette,
then watched the flames burn on the fire that we set
Walk across the street and never look at it again
Driving by it's not the place that made it safe to sin
I'm screaming at a wall because these words were never spoke
You better get your act together it's time that we awoke
So what's the price on pride and dignity
Livin' never thinking that we'd see the final score
Livin' never thinking that they'd close the fucking door
Screaming at each other like we got something to say
Wishin' fuckin' prayin' there was something we could change
Or maybe we could think again and try to lay the blame
There's never been another case that's turned in other ways
We're always pressin' further into dark and destined days
So maybe you could save the rest, there's nothing here to save
No more romance, we had our chance
Never again, it's gone it's dead
Let's ruin something else

Gimme Doubt
02:01
|
|||
Obliteration, concentration, ruining your mind
Sneak attacks through politics, to force your hand onto their side
but everyone's a smoking gun, just full of hate and lies
So be the first to think ahead, or fall into line
You'll always be a price tag
You'll always be a mark
You'll never get your voice heard
Until you fucking start
Start thinking, start moving, start doubting
Question the world
Question the world
Question your life
Question the voices from the other side
Question what's right
Question what's wrong
Question the voice that sings the fucking song
And I'm not immune, and that's the fucking truth

Wash Away
01:08
|
|||
This time my own depression
made me wash away
Any good feeling that I'd have today
And I'll put the blame on everybody else
Cuz I just can't stand the thought of blaming myself
Watch me like a disaster, spinning out here moving faster
Get set up to get knocked down again
Do it again

Joyless
03:08
|
|||
You're not your problem
You're not your illness
You're not a burden
You're not a sickness
Joyless, out of focus
Feeling hopeless, blank emotions
Up the darkness, up the dosage
No one knows it, keep it private
Staying busy, staying quiet
Keep on living, keep on trying
Life, degrading
Dreams, fading
Still keep on moving when life stops improving
I know, it's scary
the weight of the world that you carry
Working for something, then sinking and failing
I've been there, I've had it and each day I drag it
from here to the limit, just feeling so desperate
Like nothing's worth nothing, and life's stuck in waiting
like each word is maybe, and no one is listening
From Kaufman to Kafka the joke or the cockroach
But each serves a purpose, inside it's own context
But please try your hardest to wade through the garbage
and if you don't make it, I'll see you at the finish
