In My Hands

They're in my hands, everyone's demands.
No room for my thoughts.
They've all got their plots, they've all got their plans
Of checks and balances.
But the corruption, it annihilates everything for which we stand.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This deformity.
The cancer spreads through all the crevices.
They fill us up with lies of gods, and prayers, and "why?"s.
Lip service to yourself, put action on the shelf,
And blame the only thing that's keeping us from killing ourselves.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This deformity.
Even though I have it all I still will give it all away so one day
they'll say that we have changed and we've become so much
more than a race of plague and violence that prays on fear and
consumption. By killing, burning, mocking, destroying everything
that we could create.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This deformity.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This monstrosity.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This atrocity.
Gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down, gotta tear down
This monopoly.

This knife is more than just a tool to me,
It's a welcome release. It's a chance to breathe.
The table is set for an evening for two.
The chair is ready, all I need is you.
Here's your chance to see the beast inside.
The only consequence is you will die.
I feel so at home, so nonchalant,
When the beast inside gets what he wants.
Give into the pit within my soul.
The emptiness that takes control.
Embrace the hate, embrace my shell.
Condemn myself to eternal Hell.
How much pain do I have to inflict
To rid myself of this blood addict?
It can't hide inside for very long,
I feel so empty, I feel so wrong.
Must feed the urge at all costs,
No matter the pain, no matter the loss.
The secrets are burning up my heart,
Slowly ripping me apart.
Give into the pit within my soul.
The emptiness that takes control.
Embrace the hate, embrace my shell.
Condemn myself to eternal Hell.
I've got the knife and I've got the tape,
I'll bury you with everything I hate.
Cut you up, piece by piece,
'Cause in parts of you I find pieces of me.
Discard you as what you mean to me,
Just a broken and lifeless piece of meat.
You scream when I cut and you sigh when I
Take your life by my hands with the point of my
blade.
Give into the pit within my soul.
The emptiness that takes control.
Embrace the hate, embrace my shell.
Condemn myself to eternal Hell.

Red and Green
02:25

The struggle of who to be consumes me in my every dream.
Should I fight for humanity, should I fight for selfish needs?
Every time I think I see something that seems to give meaning
It gets ripped away from me and leaves me in a shell of apathy.
Stuck inside this war of red and green.
All my sisters, all my brothers,
All my friends and all my loves.
All my fathers, all my mothers,
I need you all to discover.
You can always find another place inside you to uncover
All those things you used to be. All those things that used to set you free.
Get outside this war of red and green.
Red and green.
Stuck inside this war of red and green.

Death Machine

I'm sick and tired of constructive releases.
Don't try to test me 'cause
I'll rip you into pieces.
Don't tell me to pray.
Don't say that everything happens for a reason.
It's not about me,
It's yourself you are pleasing.
Don't know who I am.
Don't know what I see.
Only know one thing:
I am a Death Machine.
So take it away,
Don't try to understand
There's no more emotion.
There's only a cold hand.
I'm the lone assassin,
I'm the poison in your veins.
Don't try to stop me 'cause
It's already too late.
(Don't take it away, don't take it away)
Don't know who I am.
Don't know what I see.
Only know one thing:
I am a Death Machine.

Blood

Feel the skin, reel within
Peel apart, all our hearts
Watch her eyes, her disguise
In a blink, we will shrink
Even through our toughest times, we gotta walk ahead and live our lives.
A day will come when we will fall. Cling to our roots standing tall.
Our memories will make us smile if we can only reconcile
The pain we run from everyday with the memories of those taken away.
She was brave, a tidal wave
Of selflessness. Her success
Was our success to express
And be part of the things we love.
Even through our toughest times, we gotta walk ahead and live our lives.
A day will come when we will fall. Cling to our roots standing tall.
Our memories will make us smile if we can only reconcile
The pain we run from everyday with the memories of those taken away.

We want fun and we want mugs
And we want guns and we want hugs
And every single song we sing,
We sing every word at the top of our lungs.
We live to play.
We love to sway (and get)
Carried away,
All fucking day.
So have some fun and drink some mugs
And shoot some guns and give some hugs
And every single song you sing just
Sing every word at the top of your lungs.
We live to play.
We love to sway (and get)
Carried away,
All fucking day.
Dance on the street and move to the beat
And bestir your feet and don't be discreet anymore.

Don't bother to try and stop me now.
There's some things I just have to do,
Find a different place to start with something new.
You make everything seem like
You are the highest authority.
Run your mouth behind my back,
Well you're not the same person as me.
I can't spend all my time thinking
Everything sucks and be depressing.
Some things I don't want to remember, but
Since you insist I'll just be leaving.
How much time do you expect me to
Sit around wallowing in my self pity?
You make everything seem like
You are the highest authority.
Run your mouth behind my back,
Well you're not the same person as me.
I can't spend all my time thinking
Everything sucks and be depressing.
Some things I don't want to remember, but
Since you insist I'll just be leaving.

I'm No Bastard
03:29

Waiting for the battle to prove myself again.
Working up the courage to let myself explain
All the reasons why I do what I do.
All the things about me that have been misconstrued.
I'm only a product of the things I've seen,
Never stop to contemplate the places I've been.
Now it's time for me to find a place to call home.
Take the things you gave me to the places I go.
Try to make a stand, gotta make a plan,
Learning from my base, Gotta find my place.
Try to find the person that is hiding in me,
I feel him on the ice and in the thump of the beat.
I have found a place to love, a place to belong,
A place to stay, a place to play, somewhere I don't feel wrong.
Try to make a stand, gotta make a plan,
Learning from my base, Gotta find my place.

Bitter Revenge
02:29
|

Try to kill me, try to guilt me,
Into believing all your reasons
For justifying the hate you're hiding,
Is worthy of praise.
It's causing malaise.
All of the abuse you cling to will lead to
Bitter Revenge, Bitter Revenge.
I wont give in to your misgivings,
You will curse this plague of vengeance.
Masquerading, eviscerating,
It's so easy, you're not ready.
All of the abuse you cling to will lead to
Bitter Revenge, Bitter Revenge.
Try to kill me, try to guilt me,
Into believing all your reasons
For justifying the hate you're hiding,
Is worthy of praise.
It's causing malaise.
All of the abuse you cling to will lead to
Bitter Revenge, Bitter Revenge.

Endless fighting reigniting obvious lies
Guilting your lives.
Folding your hands, endless demands.
Self-defeating
Abuse of your soul.
Liberate yourself.
They hide from you
Obvious truth.
Yank the collar for a dollar.
Now you're living to be forgiven
By this ego that has to be in control.
Liberate yourself.
