twinkie_iomc This is one brutal album from start to finish! when listening to it I find it hard to resist the urge to destroy whatever environment I'm in in a one man mosh pit! In short turn this shit up and throw down! Favorite track: Overrated Life.

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
2.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
