Fiction 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Struggling with my addiction So fast asleep at the wheel Been jolted from this dream By the sound the tires make When they blow and squeal I'm living out this fiction Without the urge to feel Washed away Why can't this all be washed away Why must every day scar and stain What I'd give to see all this Washed away Now we're so deep in the fire The pain seems so unreal But strange as it may seem I know the smell of skin Going from burn to peel Struggling with my addiction So fast asleep at the wheel Washed away Why can't this all be washed away Why must every day scar and stain What I'd give to see all this Washed away Hey man What are we still doing here Thought by now That I'd be free and clear Yet somehow the sun stills burns and stings So much time fixing broken things To watch it get washed away And then it all gets washes away And still every day scar and stain What I'd give to see all this Washed away

Paper Mache 03:34
lyrics

Long gone love parade New moods that quickly fade Mistakes can't be misunderstood Stale air promises Old news gets rearranged Cloudy eyes see only what they could I still love you Bring on sweet sleep I'd love to Cut and burn this dream I've found nothing in paper mache Hollow bonds of yesterday Can't replace the glue when it's destroyed Sure meant a lot to me But your gift I found empty Replace an absence with a void I still love you Bring on sweet sleep I'd love to Cut and burn this dream I can bring you down I can be your brick I can make you hard up Starvin' love crazed baby I can make you sick I can change you mind with simple will I can turn you inside out now baby I can make you ill I can bring you down I can be your brick I can make you hard up Starvin' love crazed baby I can make you sick I can change you mind with simple will I can turn you inside out now baby I can make you ill I can bring you down

Wish Bones 04:33
lyrics

When scrutinized Tiny cracks like fault lines Erupt in size I get caught up in The same crevices again Old mistakes The past contains It's own earthquakes We could break all the bones Trying to make just one wish Resurrect a monument then Dedicate it to what we've missed Go The details fade Time erodes the stone But the image remains Yeah carved in deep It's just another secret we couldn't keep Old mistakes The past contains It's own earthquakes We could break all the bones Trying to make just one wish Resurrect a monument then Dedicate it to what we've missed Go Break The wishbones Yeah we could We could break all the wishbones Yeah it's just fine But I can't pretend That I'm just fine With the shorter end Old mistakes The past contains It's own earthquakes We could break all the bones Trying to make just one wish Resurrect a monument then Dedicate it to what we've missed Go

You want to touch the face of God But you refuse to wash your hands Sometimes I think I'm going to crack I swear I hear the creaking Yet everyday I break my back While all the fluids leaking And you can count the days By the puddle at my feet When will I drown When will I come down Poor dyslexic sanity My thoughts run through the shredder Swim in this profanity Just hope someday I'm better On quicker comes the vertigo As does the quickening beat Am I coming down Is this what it feels like to drown Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah yeah yeah Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah Yet I came to see you Cards laid out on the table That's 'cause it's what we do It's what we do when we're able How easily you cut me Left me here to bleed Unimpressed Still lacking basic need Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah yeah yeah Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah Sometimes I think I'm going to crack I swear I hear the creaking Yet everyday I break my back While all the fluids leaking And you can count the days By the puddle at my feet When will I drown When will I come down Poor dyslexic sanity My thoughts run through the shredder Swim in this profanity Just hope someday I'm better On quicker comes the vertigo As does the quickening beat Am I coming down Is this what it feels like to drown Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah yeah yeah Make it go away I can't go on one more day Living with the pain Stuck here Yeah

Pain 03:42
lyrics

I'm just an eel in this dirty water You fuck with me man I'll come for your daughter She'll follow me away like a sheep to the slaughter So you fear what's coming but I already got her And what's my name Give it to me, give it to me What's my name What's my name My name is... Yeah my name is pain And I'm black death with an angel's face Everyday I fall a little farther from grace And I am the reason, the cycle, the circle And I'm holding your breath for you 'till you're purple And what's my name Give it to me, give it to me What's my name What's my name My name is... Yeah my name is pain She's so clean And so white She's so self absorbed What am I tonight 'Round and 'round in circles Just like trippin' children Oh yeah, that's right Shadows thrashed beneath the moonlight Victims of the mosh Through their pores breathe sweat and anger The suicidal stench of danger Breathless rage, stoned, blurred vision Ninety miles an hour in a human demolition Mosh And what's my name Could you give me a little more Better watch where you're steppin' Better watch where you stand One minute you're on solid ground The next you're in the quicksand You're reaching out Trying to make one last stand I smile, I laugh I break your hand And what's my name Give it to me, give it to me What's my name What's my name My name is... Yeah my name is pain And what's my name Give it to me, give it to me What's my name What's my name My name is... Yeah my name is pain

You give and take Yes to manipulate Or subjugate I can hardly wait Until the day When your own devices Eliminate They'll eliminate you They'll eliminate you You They'll eliminate you You want to talk You work both sides of your mouth I've figured out There is no in between You made your point And now you're making it dull It leaves you numb You'll bite your tongue again I don't want to talk The emptiness in your stare Brings questions back And I don't want to think Now the time has come To lay yourself on the line The line is thin You'll bite your tongue again You make no mistakes You covered every base But stories like breaking news Ignite a quick burning fuse And blow up in your face I'd like to hit you where you live Hit you where you Turn around and get the shit you give Get the shit you Get the shit you give I'd like to hit you where you live Hit you where you Turn around and get the shit you give Get the shit you Get the shit you give You calculate Yes the moves you make To suffocate I can hardly wait Until the day When your own devices Eliminate They'll eliminate you They'll eliminate you You They'll eliminate you You want to talk You work both sides of your mouth I've figured out There is no in between You made your point And now you're making it dull It leaves you numb You'll bite your tongue again I don't want to talk The emptiness in your stare Brings questions back And I don't want to think Now the time has come To lay yourself on the line The line is thin You'll bite your tongue again You make no mistakes You covered every base But stories like breaking news Ignite a quick burning fuse And blow up in your face I'd like to hit you where you live Hit you where you Turn around and get the shit you give Get the shit you Get the shit you give I'd like to hit you where you live Hit you where you Turn around and get the shit you give Get the shit you Get the shit you give

The Worm 03:39
lyrics

Wait I think there's something in disarray Can't seem to figure this out My mind's all crazy and clouded And nothing's the same as before Stop before it goes to your head The worm will eat right through your brain Confusion slowly sets in And nothing is real but the pain You'll find out soon enough How quickly all these years go by And all these holes they turn to scars And fade So subtle And now you start to find the driftwood Pieces long since washed away Thoughts linger Crave I don't need this shit today I've long since turned and walked away I find you preach when you should pray But that's okay, yeah that's okay 'Cause it's already under your skin And it's working it's way through your brain The demon wakes from within And takes a hold of the reigns You start to see it now How easily these mountains crumble in your hands You disregard this so Casually You were miles away inside your head You bled when it said Shine And another one sinks down to the bottom So raise your glass in toast for the fallen And another one sinks down to the bottom And fades away I thought, I thought you had it all Never thought you'd be down here with me No, no I never thought I'd see you fall And another one sinks down to the bottom So raise your glass in toast for the fallen And another one sinks down to the bottom And fades away I hate this I love this I hate this I love this I hate this I love this I don't need this shit today I've long since turned and walked away I find you preach when you should pray But that's okay, yeah that's okay You let it go to your head The worm eats right through your brain Just let it go to your head And nothing's real but the pain You let it go to your head Just let it go to your head

Bottom Feeder 04:10
lyrics

Why are you talking to me Don't you know that everybody else can see Or are you just like me Could you be another bottom feeder When pushed from so high You fall down so low The closer you get The faster you go I speak from experience I've fallen myself So take all these words And judge for yourself Don't let it go to your head All these words in this tangled web Of what they said Let them sing you to sleep And you'll wake just a bottom feeder When pushed from so high You fall down so low The closer you get The faster you go I speak from experience I've fallen myself The lesson I learned Trust no one else The hand at your throat is your own You'll never find your way home The hand at your throat is your own You'll never find your way This can not be happening right now Tried to get away from These things that have kept me here But finally I realized You never cared anyway Peace is something You feel in your dreams But you wake to find The moment just slipped When pushed from so high You fall down so low And the closer you get The faster you go I speak from experience I've fallen myself So take all these lies And judge for yourself The hand at your throat is your own You'll never find your way home The hand at your throat is your own You'll never find your way

MUD 05:21

It waits at the bottom of the mud for me Hollow as any grave has a right to be Coaxing the will of my darkest tendencies Pushing all the right buttons I watch enraged the rate at which we regress Never before have I seen such a fucking mess This cancer will eat us all leaving a lifeless Poor, pathetic world of nothing I know exactly what you need Knowledge that only comes when you bleed We'll cleanse that ignorance and greed And I can't help but hate what we've become Half the population's so fucking numb I guess it's better off as we decay Slowly the wall crumbles away in my hand Pieces of things I'll probably never understand Millions of miles still no sign of land Though faceless I see it smiling Maybe I'm the only one left who is sane This cancer having not yet reached my center brain I stand and watch it all slip on down the drain Keep me dizzy You're so beguiling I know exactly what you need Knowledge that only comes when you bleed We'll cleanse that ignorance and greed And I can't help but hate what we've become Half the population's so fucking numb I guess it's better off as we decay It waits at the bottom of the mud for me Hollow as any grave has a right to be Coaxing the will of my darkest tendencies Pushing all the right buttons I watch enraged the rate at which we regress Never before have I seen such a fucking mess This cancer will eat us all leaving a lifeless Poor, pathetic world of nothing I know exactly what you need Knowledge that only comes when you bleed We'll cleanse that ignorance and greed And I can't help but hate what we've become Half the population's so fucking numb I guess it's better off as we decay
