Inside Out
04:15
|
|||
Too young to dream
Too old to die
Already tired of living a lie
Who will decide who lives and dies?
It's out of your control
So now you hide
I imagine that you've had enough
But now it's too hard to ignore
I might only have little time left
So here's as much as I can possibly say
A new world is looming
The boogieman's near
The dead and the living
Why am I here?
A tailspin like this is one of a kind
And what if it's over?
Been a hell of a ride
With hooligans ruling
Don't be so surprised
That they want to blow up the outside world
They want to blow up the outside world
From the inside
From the inside out
From the inside
From the inside out

Tailspin

Politician on the television
Mortician begging for another mission
White boys with unloaded guns
Are taking bows as the blood runs
The clock is ticking but it's running out
Dollars decimate receding ground
Keep this between you and me
But I don't think there's ever gonna be a future to see
You and I won't make it out alive
Relax your mind
Enjoy the ride
We're out of time
So try to find the remnants of the bright side
Suffocating on a ventilator
Because the devil wears a respirator
Brainless xenophobic nags
The fatal virus that we've always had
Selfish saccharine entitlement
Breaching the branches of the government
Keep this between you and me
I don't ever think there's gonna be a future to see
You and I won't make it out alive
Relax your mind
Enjoy the ride
We're out of time
So try to find the remnants of the bright side
I think this just might be
The end of this century
Cause this planet's on its knees
I don't think there's ever gonna be a future to see
You and I won't make it out alive
Relax your mind
Enjoy the ride
We're out of time
So try to find the remnants of the bright side
Yeah

No Heart
05:00
|
|||
An out of mind experience
A real delirium
Soon they won't even report the deaths
No one will be upset
But what comes now?
If we're all worn out
Like a shot in the arm
A shot in the arm
I would help but I'm doing more harm
Than good to this point thus far
A day to day inebriant
The main ingredient
A never ending dose of vitriol
Will slowly kill us all
So what comes now?
If we're all strung out
From a shot in the arm
A shot in the arm
I would help but I'm doing more harm than good to this point so far
It was a shot in the dark
A total shot in the dark
You're all bite and never a bark
I swear to god, you all have no heart
County cop cars
Engagement rings
Family photos and getaways
You'll spend your money on anything
To shield yourself from human suffering
A shot in the arm
A shot in the arm
I guess some weren't born with a heart
And haven't done much good so far
It was a shot in the dark
A total shot in the dark
You're all bite and never a bark
I swear to god, you all have no heart
This is only the start
I think it's only the start
And the end just isn't that far
County cop cars
Engagement rings
Family photos and getaways
You'll spend your money on anything
To shield yourself from human suffering

Aim To Please
03:24
|
|||
Brace for impact
Watch the show unfold
Another year goes by
Another hopeless soul
Caught the crossfire
Itâs just every day American slack
Guilty by design
Weâre guilty all the time
The volunteer lawman sets the playing field
For every madman with a killing feel
We stay out long enough to become the heel
And by the end of the night
Thereâs nowhere left to hide
Weâre tethered by ideals aimed to please (This is how the)
Tethered, beaten down to our knees (Turns out that this is how the)
You think weâre living some kind of new hell, my friend
I think itâs time we choose how it ends (Turns out that this is how the world)
Tethered by ideals aimed to please (Turns out that this is how the)
Tethered, beaten down to our knees (Turns out that this is how the world is)
You think weâre living some kind of new hell (Turns out that)
But this is how the world has always been

New World
04:33
|

White blood cells
Cannot tell
What the fuss is about
Weâre paranoid
The asteroid
Will get us any day now
Pointing semi-automatic rifles in my face
Preaching that itâs peace youâre keeping
Using gas and mace
Miserable
Cannibals
Thatâs all we have become
The meat we grind does define
All that we represent
Freaks of nature
Trading paper
Living in estates
What a sad and problematic group of patriots
Youâve opened a new world
You've wanted
Pointing semi-automatic rifles in my face
What a sad and problematic group of patriots
Welcome to a brand new world
Welcome to a new world
You wanted a new world
Now youâve got it
A new world

Good Life
04:12
|

Hello
Itâs me hanging on the edge again
You know Iâm not one to pretend
That thereâs a ground below
Thereâs no reason to show
My face around my enemies
Iâve become my own disease
Live just to wither away
So take your shots at me
So take your shots for free
And dream big baby
Iâm on the outside now
The outside looking in
You want a piece of the good life baby
I could be your sin
Swallow your pride and watch the time go by
We all become what we despise
A gutless soul with no spine
So reckless and out of time
The leash runs shorter every day it seems
Smash my pride to smithereens
Ignite the gasoline
So take your shots at me
So take your shots for free
And dream big baby
Iâm on the outside now
The outside looking in
You want a piece of the good life baby
I could be your sin
Iâm on the outside now (And if youâre scared, put some money on it)
The outside looking in (Fold it up origami)
Weâre all expendable people baby (And if you swing, Iâll put some mustard on it)
Caught in the whirlwind (Iâm gonna bet you a lottery)
All my days roll into one
And I havenât felt more alive

The American Way
05:28
|
|||
Old men die and
Women cry their name
Children trying
Desperate to stay sane
How could we let all of this take place?
Itâs the American way
How much longer for the humans?
Red lights flashing in the rear view mirror
Cause theyâre carting the ill and mongering your fear
Got a half dead puppet for a bigot and a clown
While the other wolf is waiting in her old sheepâs gown
Meanwhile everybodyâs breaking their back
Throwing every last dime to a rich scumbag
Dreaming of the day where the tide rolls in
And drowns those callous, heartless humans
How could we let all of this take place?
Itâs the American Way
How much longer for the human race?
Children crying
Desperate from a cage
Black men die of privileged white male rage
And how could we let all of this take place?
You say itâs the American way (Itâs the American way)
How much longer for the human race?

Unmarked Cars
04:45
|
|||
Whatâs going on in Portland?
Theyâll snatch you up in unmarked cars
Where do they go?
Stolen from the boulevard
I wish I could love the country
The country do not love me back
Cause theyâre all taught
To disregard the fact
But I know a guy who's got a friend
Who says heâs figured out
Who is the real boogie man
Never taking into account that maybe what he told me
Doesnât make much sense
You gotta take my word
And donât dare
To think that I misheard
I wonât care

Hooligan
04:21
|
|||
Get on the right track boy
Youâve been playing with fire
All the simple moments that you can grasp
Slip right through the fingers
Make the move now boy
Devise a plan you desire
Let your rage float down the wayside
Youâre practically smothered
Iâm a hooligan again
I don't know where to begin
Iâm a hooligan again
I donât know where to begin
Youâve become a toy
In this playground of slaughter
Lining up for the final blow
This country has offered
We pave our own way out of the grave
We pave our own way out of the grave
Is this the price we rodents have to pay?
(Have to pay)
We pave our own way out of the grave
We pave our own way out of the grave
Is this the price we rodents have to pay?

Why Am I Here?
05:14
|
|||
As the night turned into day
The carbonation started to dissipate
Checked your watch and it had got late
Both in agreement that you ought to stay
As you stumbled up the hill
Drunk and salivating for a thrill
You had the sense to stay the night
But not the sense to start a life
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited then why am I here?
Why am I here?
As the days turn into years
The sweet nostalgia started to disappear
Gone with every callous joke
And disregard for things I fear the most
Whatâs the point in keeping score?
If I canât let myself care anymore
It ainât that hard to play your part
But I stopped wishing that youâd start
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited then why?
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited (then why am I here?)
If I wasnât invited then why am I here?

Stockholm Syndrome
03:20
|
|||
I got away from you this time
Somehow unscathed
Iâve met you way too many times
Some roles never change
How much longer do we have to play this game?
My soul is aching from the stones
Your mind loves to throw
Youâve left me tethered here so long
I canât feel the cold
But Iâll bark for you âtill my leash brakes from this pole
I got so used to being used
It started to show
That naive trust you bred in spades
Holds me by the throat
(Stockholm syndrome, in the home
And consequently in the faces I know
It still shows me how your love was like the thorn of a rose
Your aroma pulled me close until you were under my nose
When you chose to show your sharpness to me)
When we took you away from me this time
I wanted to stay
Itâs when Iâm staring in your eyes
I canât feel the pain
So how much longer do I have to wait in vain?

Devil's Advocate
03:06
|
|||
Why is it that
That Iâm not afraid
To say when Iâm wrong?
A debt that I pay
Itâs one of my strengths
I was right all along
Iâm winning the fight
Iâm writing the song
A night in the house
A couple of bums
With nothing to do
Except argue on
And talk about nothing
Something
Did you say youâre leaving in the morning?
What do you do when Iâm not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Havenât you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devilâs advocate
I hope I get to rediscover you
âCause Iâm running out of things I want to do
Why do you think that Iâm getting sick of explaining myself
The same old shit
Just try to relax, and loosen your grip
And just try to catch me when I slip
Oh, but what do you do when Iâm not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Havenât you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devilâs advocate
I hope I get to rediscover you
âCause Iâm running out of things I want to do
You know youâre right
I finally found someone who seems to want me around
Iâm seeing the light
Iâm hearing the sound
Iâm feeling the earth
Itâs shaking the ground
Itâs hurting my head
Youâre making it pound
Youâre turning me off
Youâre turning me on
And finally when
Itâs time to be gone
Weâll both move ahead
Itâs that kind of sad song
But what do you do when Iâm not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Havenât you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devilâs advocate
I hope I get to rediscover you
âCause Iâm running out of things I want to do
But Iâm not going anywhere without you

Please
00:36
|

Tethered by ideals aimed to please (So sad that this is how the)
Tethered, beaten down to our knees (So sad that this is how the world ends)
You think weâre living some kind of new hell (So sad that this is how the)
But this is how the world has always been

Closer
04:22
|
|||
You built this wall so high
I canât see through
Most donât even try but I want to
Whatâs the point in living like you do?
You built this wall so high but itâs obtuse
Most that try to climb claim thereâs no use
Whatâs the point in living like you do?
I donât even know what I should do
You built this wall so high but Iâm confused
âCause most donât try to hide the blatant truth
Whatâs the point in living like you do?
Show me how to get closer to you
Closer to you
You built this wall so high but I see through you
Most donât even try but I blame you, too
Whatâs the point in living like you?

The Dead, The Living
04:25
|
|||
The dead and the living are one of the same thing
May only differ by naming
Both unforgiving while some lack a brain
Most of them killing the days away
Maybe itâs over
Maybe our time is up
Maybe mother nature has had enough of us
Do you think weâve earned it?
Iâd say that we deserve it
Leaving us a burden
Again
Maybe the boomers wrecked planet earth
Drained it for all that it once was worth
Now she is angry
She could have been bored
The dead and the living have been warned before
Itâs a lie
You know that?
Theyâll say itâs a lie
Donât you know that?
(Just to get by)
Every day is so monotonous
(Just to get by)
No longer want to be apart of this charade
That weâve got it made while we all look away
Fooled you
Kept you safe and schooled you
We might as well tattoo you
With all the things you once believed
Reluctancy to speak
The dead and the living may differ by name
Sometimes theyâre one of the same thing
What if itâs over?
What if our time is up?
What if mother nature has had enough of us?

Endgame
04:33
|
|||
Too old to dream
Too young to die
Become the placeholder and fall in line
Seep through the cracks we made with time
Everyday pills and bloodshot eyes
I imagine that youâve had enough
Hanging on day after day
Now this time that the pawn caught your bluff
You can go ahead and state your claim
I wonât be a part of your endgame
They want to blow up the outside world
They want to blow up the outside world
I imagine that youâve had enough
Hanging on day after day
(From the inside)
Now this time that the pawn caught your bluff
(From the inside out)
You can go ahead and state your claim
I wonât be a part of your endgame
Soak up the rays of yesterdayâs sun
Slip through the cracks of a world built for no one (From the inside)
You found your disguise
A reason to hide
A proper demise (From the inside out)
Our universe never stood a chance (This whole universe never stood a chance)
Never stood a chance (This whole universe never stood a chance)
Never stood a chance (This whole universe never stood a chance)
This whole universe donât stand a chance
