Godless America
03:11
|
|||
|
We’re living in a Godless America
A land of needy and home of the greedy
Let the politicians guide us and ride us
Get inside and rot from within
No work for the outsourced
No food for the hungry
Can’t afford to feed myself, yet some call me wealthy
They’re fucking intelligence out of existence
Breeding faster and faster can't pronounce abstinence
Dropped out of school at age 15, no clue as to what it means
Pay all our teachers at minimum wage, and can't figure out why no one can read
But you bitch that teachers are overpaid.
Fireman and shields get passed over for raises,
Who gives a fuck about the people they save?
Let out the criminals, fill up the streets,
The overflowing crack houses will service our needs

Mother Mary

Hey Mary, do the world a favor and stick a gun your mouth
Hey Mary, do the world a favor drink a Clorox cocktail.
Self righteous, self important, abusive bitch
You wonder why your creations have the same glitch
Chronic depressive hurricane, you hurt all in your path
Then feel conveniently wounded by your own aftermath
Sometimes love can just be infatuation, well this hatred is the real thing
You’re consuming me with hatred, your verbal abuse unabated
You are the patron saint of denial

Genuflect
04:24
|
|||
|
Get down on your knees boy
Get yourself in line
Supposed to be a partner
Medicated, addicted to chaos, gestures of indifference
Sick of all your lies, your search for total control
Trick me with your lies. Kill me with your lies
Fall in line. Make me want to die with those medicated eyes
Kill me with your lies and medicated eyes
Some free advice

Manic Destructive
04:52
|
|||
|
Chaotic, neurotic, no interest in this action
If she keeps this up I’ll end up in traction
Obsessed with the notion that you’re gods best creation
But you cant seem to function without constant attention
I hide all sharp objects
I create a distraction
Instead come at me with fists for a fashion
Manic destructive, I’ll be lucky to live
Manic destructive, you take all I can give
I loved you once but now I’m just numb
You beat me down and kept me under your thumb

Deal Breaker
09:21
|
|||
|
You say you love and support me
But you just stand in my way
You hit and berate me and prove you’re insane
Your therapist agrees, and this is an understatement
The end is in sight, but you’ve broken my will
The end is in sight. This union is killed
Abusive authority you were raised by a pro
How much more can I take?
This is my breaking point

Steadfast
08:16
|
|||
|
Stick to your guns don’t let reason creep in
Choke my throat and control my breathing
Go ahead and blame me for your problems in life
I’m not the one holding the knife
Exhaust all your avenues, yet still you persist
I’ve heard it all before and now I don’t give a shit
I’ve had better than this
And I still exist

Breakdown
06:39
|
|||
|
My thoughts disconnected
Invested time I’ve wasted
I’m under too much pressure
Must keep my head together
Are you awake?
Can I talk to you?
Wake up
That’s not how normal people act
You never loved me
How can you be so unfeeling?
Keep yourself together
I’m lost
I cannot forgive myself
Still caring is what hurts the most
I don’t wear my emotions on my sleeve

Screwdriver
05:55
|
|||
|
Wake me up in the middle of the night
Just to instigate another fight
Tell me what has made you mad
Use me as your punching bag
Hardened steel breaks my skin
But I’m not giving in
No sense, no rationale
No hope, just your urge to kill
No restraint to hold you back
From this late night attack
On edge it’s hard to sleep
No chance to tame this beast
Just hope for some relief
From this constant grief
Buried under, I will get out
Understand these words from my mouth
I might not get through today, but I wont let you murder me.

Vulture's Descent
07:20
|
|||
|
Feel my resolve melt, my blood pressure rise
Mind is all white noise, static gears grind
Never raise my voice hardly past a whisper
Try to remain calm, collected, repair the fissure
Tunnel vision, darkened eyes
Headache pounds, eyes twitch
Shallow breathing can barely speak
Nervous numbness has reached its peak
Maybe you’re confused by tone or inflection
I’ve never raised my voice. You just don’t like what I’m saying
But I’m not yelling, I’m not yelling at you
Do you want me to?
