Scraps 02:27
Scaps indoctrined insignificance eats at your mortal soul diligence and duty freedom dies it takes its toll the noose around your neck will tighten, death will strengthen hold for years the flesh that was your heart has slowly turned to coal and you say you get paid you're a slave to the wage surviving off the peanuts that get tossed inside your cage say you get paid you're a slave to the wage just seek your crown of shame the madness slowly turns to rage the blood the sweat and tears collect inside a little cup you can't go back the clock ticks on the years you've given up what i wouldn't give just to have another day at work you sigh and rest, fall into death, you've finally out of luck a cog inside an iron lung whose gears they have been jammed by feeding fingers to a starving dog right from the masters hand a glutton for envy, your life has been bought your slaves have been caught, just leave us to rot

OLD kentucky Breakdown well i drink down the whiskey let the smoke bite my lungs with a ratchet in my soul and from their fingers and their tongues we will never stick together with a wrench inside my heart we're behind where we were from the start and I will never understand why they long to use those hands with a clock ticking foreward pointing to the promised lands a ticker tape parade, a forty piece band the stocks they might crash but the weak they still stand and here's farewell to old Kentucky it's farewell to old Colorado I'm going where the wind ain't blowin I'm going where that old north wind don't blow so i jump into the well just to spite the water now the whiskey is poisoned, we should have fought harder but my hindsight is blind, my foresight is blurry I hope the four horsemen come on down with all of heavens fury but that apathy slowly seeps into my heart we're behind where we were where we were from the start now i wander round the country with my pockets full of sand I'll tear down the wall when I'm dealt the right hand but united we fall, divided we stand she can't tell the difference between her friends and her fans but lady liberty is waving a white flag so put all of your belongings in a black plastic trash bag and walk into the sunset fall off the edge of the earth

No Earthlings well little did I know at the end of this road the only way out was through a broken door take your cards as they come, let chips fall this life is a gamble so heed the last call find myself again at the foot of this bed visions of demons dance around in my head the ugly truth is I'm not dead we're just dying but I can't see past the clouds at night helpless birds robbed of their flight people are praying false gods will delight for no answers no reasons no end is in sight a little bit of sleep will go a long way if you see your blood it will break your day unwind my mind claw at my face and help me end this human race no answers no reasons no earthlings no seasons but i can't see past my eyes at night helpless birds robbed of their flight people are praying no end is in sight for no answers no earthlings no season to die

Corpus Deorum blood from the sigil born from the vessel barren with frost the carcass of god hail Satan chemical feelings mechanical winds our sutured frustrations our removable limbs existent survival survival a grid take an axe to the axis or keep yourself feed decaying mother ignorant kin feed any addiction you find yourself in before tomorrow but after today solve it all with a bullet and learn to decay

On This Road 03:43
ON THIS ROAD A cantankerous, cancerous lifeblood of black rotting holes in our lungs and tearing our backs with products and sawdust and raw meat and blackend lungs that cling to the air amidst fire and ash let me take you and have you but don't let me love you cuz loving is wise and im not but a fool let me kill you and thrill you but don't let me take your life on this road well im sickened by fear surrounded by good cheer by forests of torment where nothing is clear but this shattered remnant of harmony on this road

DIGITIZE THE DIRT There's a tourniquet around your neck to quench a bloody mind let's drag our bodies to the woods and leave this filthy world behind for shame the world, accursed world for shame to play the game that points the blame to anyone but me but me, but me, but me we'll point it at anyone but me what about you, its so fucking true but me so let's mine the moon let's put a colony on mars let's kill the green in all the world and snuff out all the stars cuz there's candlelight at dinner in an alley there's fire burning all over this town when this is over we will throw a party or a war go to the city and burn it fucking down so let's digitize the dirt and chastise the sky lets hollow out the planet earth and leave the rest to die

Sleep 03:52
Sleep well I can't go anywhere without seeing anyone their eyes reflect the streetlights in the shadows so i run on home where i try to be alone but their eyes reflect the lamplight in my dreams well I'll take my ritalin if you take your xanax we're all self destructing aint no need to panic so lets all float away in this chemical haze

The Blight 02:11
THE BLIGHT a blazing pentagram pattern across the northern sky the blood moon is rising demon spirit running high I can't help fight the feeling that my time has come to die so join in on the din (sacrifice) raise your bottles high test the walls of reality it's practice come to light the festering significance will call you to the fight so chain yourself to the ground an drown out all the light to flicker, snicker, quiver, shiver, give in to the blight so sacrifice yourself to the stones on the ground blood released from your veins, it spills upon the mound your pale face gives in to the force to choke secure the bonds and ease in to the hands around your throat savor the unholy light pallor, the feeling of fright immerse in the darkness of night fall into the force of the blight I can't find any escape from this prison my life spirals quickly oblivion sick in my sights toward agony, apathy, and if I plan it right death in the end is my only release

Lights 04:29
LIGHTS when the lights go down in the city just know they did not shine for me just the moonlight on the water and the dew upon the leaves not oil in a puddle or broken glass litters the streets cuz im running out of town meanwhile im running out on time maybe one of these days I'll make it, if I dont I'll surely die but when my time has come, I will know, I've heard the angels cry so lets let the ashes of our time fall slowly 'till the wind can blow them away cuz there ain't much left in this town that can still convince me to stay we're just creating and destroying, the fate with which we're molding fades away but in the end, i'm just happy to survive another day
