Better Off | Buy It and Break It | Dripping Red | Let Go | My Salvation | Ode To Duct Tape | Stupid Kids | You And Your Friends
Verse 1
Someday we’re all gonna die
I don’t care, I won’t ask why
Pushing through the big rate race
Kicking ass and punching face
From the masses we will rise
The lemmings rotting for the flies
Leading our lives on the run
On a pointless search of truth and fun
Chorus
I don’t know what it is
That keeps this whole place going
Humanity’s our plumber
And his asscrack is showing
But hey, we’re better off not knowing
Verse 2
You must learn your ABC’s
Don’t forget your 123’s
We don’t want you figuring out
What this fucked up place is all about
Stay in school and do your part
Business, Science, Music, Art
Originality is the deadliest sin
You won’t get back what you put in
back to top
Verse 1
You go to a store
Buy essential needs
But even those things
FUEL THEIR GREED!
Capitalist regime
Growing strong by day
Globalization
Coming true in every way
Pre-Chorus
I have a solution
To end all this pollution
Stand the fuck up, and
Speak the fuck up
Unite for a greater cause
To bring the pigs down!
Chorus
We fight
They win
Fighting spirit
Wearing thin
Don’t give
Up hope,
The one thing
They can’t take
Verse 2
America, land of the free
If you’ve got enough money
Oppression amounts to obsession
“Must keep funding flowing”
But some people won’t take it
Buy it, then go brake it
Protest, fight, kick and scream
SHATTER THE AMERICAN DREAM!

Verse 1
Every day, I awake
Something else has to break
My battered heart beats a rhythm
Heard by countless numbers of them
Them, the bringers of my pain
The beautiful sunshine, turned to rain
All those endless November nights
Cowering, lonely, in my own plight
Pre-Chorus
I’m numb to my numbness,
Impervious to tears
I can’t evoke the willingness
To resist all my fears
Chorus
This metal cuts the surface, unleashes all the evil
Unleashes the sorrow, the unwanted things I feel
Dripping red, these are my roots,
Dripping red with sorrow;
Yet, I know this forbidden fruit
Lets me carry on tomorrow
Verse 2
This fucked-up existence yet to be explained
It’s incomprehensible, I feel so drained
All those nights, numbed anger pent up
All those nights have been spent up
All I have left is this half-assed existence
So sick and tired of showing resistance
My last comfort is a piece of metal
My last argument is one I can’t settle

Verse 1
Every morning leads to a new day
New problems and people will come my way
I live my life and I try to sleep
I hold on tight and I breathe in deep
I threw away all the notes and pictures,
Past and Future are a deadly mixture.
Thoughts and words assault my mind
This sanctuary’s so hard to find
Chorus
No more fucking epiphanies,
No more analysing past tragedies
It's my hardest task, but i'll know i'll pull through
Breathe in, let go, move on from you
Verse 2
Fill the gap and walk away
The worst thing I can do is stay
I'm nothing if I can't pull through
In my shattered psyche these words ring true...
You'll never know what each day brings
Through those sounds my sorrow sings
All I wish is that this was a dream
I'm tired of thinking, i'd rather scream

Verse 1
What was it like?
Being there, afraid
Hating all the choices I made
Stumbling in my darkness,
Never finding light.
Surprised to find strength
To put up a fight.
How did it feel?
What would I find?
Razor to skin,
Skin to mind
Thoughts to fears
Which I never thought I’d find.
Endless tribulations
I cannot seem to bind
Pre-Chorus
What do they want from me?
Balancing what’s left so precariously
I need a source of inspiration
Give an end to my desperation
Chorus
Through the hate, through the pain
Through the scars, all in vain
I found you, my salvation
I found you, my revelation
Verse 2
Why all the suffering?
Why the pain?
These open wounds, I want to bind
Interrogation of my mind
Perilous relations,
Never mean to be
Pointless diversions,
To help me forget me
What does it matter?
I’ve found a light
A single, shining reason
To continue my fight.
Jungle green eyes,
Brooding black hair
Why didn’t I find you?
You were always there.

Intro
Verse
When we started off, in a basement
We took advantage of our equipment
Nobody knew that we would be so screwed
Without our sticky silver friend
Then one day when everything went wrong
We started using our duct tape all day long
We just couldn’t play our set without it
Or else all our shit would break
Chorus
Always make sure to have duct tape on the ready,
You never know how it might help
This little sticky stuff saved our lives so many times,
Without it we wouldn’t be here
Verse 2
Now that the second verse is in full swing
I haven’t been able to find any other things
To say about our trusty companion
And our saving grace, Duct Tape
Briac’s stuff all is gray and taped up
Without duct tape we’d all screw up
More than we already do,
Because we aren’t going anywhere
back to top
Alcohol and park benches come to save us
Cigarettes and drugs permanently forgave us
Don’t walk away
You wanna stay
The blessed youth
Are here to play
Shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
We’re gonna drink
We’re gonna die
We’ll drink that bottle
‘Til it’s dry
At least we had some fun!
Did you think you’d get anywhere
Try to get a job with your boots and spiky hair
What we had is worth nothing here
Look what they fuckin took, all we got was fear
And I just can’t wait to see your face
When your preconceptions fall out of place
Because we don’t give a fuck about what you say
You wouldn’t understand us anyway!

Verse 1
What you do is sickening
You chill at home all night
If you had half a brain
You’d say at least I’m right
You say you’re cool
I say you’re not
That kinda attitude
Will surely get you shot
Chorus
Sitting at home,
Watching TV alone
Go outdoors and have some
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But wait, don’t
If you value your life
Cus the streets aren’t safe anymore
Verse 2
Cops should try to merit their pay
By stopping big gang fights
Instead they do jack shit all day
And hassle drunks at night
I wish they would just lay off
It is so unfair
Only do it to get paid
I know they really don’t care
Chorus
Verse 3
Give
To
The
Rich
Take
From
The
Poor
Society might as well be dead
Cus the streets aren’t safe anymore
SOCIETY MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD,
CUS THE STREETS AREN’T SAFE ANYMORE!!!

Verse 1
Living next to a lie
I don’t regret the things I’ve done
Falling close to the shortest line
My demons never made up my mind
What is there I could have done?
I won’t forget the things I did
Pushed myself to the farthest brink
I never gave up and died
Chorus
I never forgot what they said to me…
Don’t cut your lines, just pull through
I’ll never regret what I did…
Held myself up high
Pre-Verse
Regret
Forget
The pain
What doesn’t kill you…
Regret
Forget
The pain
Makes you stronger.
Verse 2
Living next to a lie
(laughing)Fuck you and your promises,
You know exactly why!
I never needed anyone but me
Those illusions of peace: futility…
What is there I could have done?
Wish it was easy as starting again
Those words I heard, went straight past my head
And instead landed straight at my heart
Outro
Those words, those days forever in my mind
FUCK YOU!
Those words, those days, my mind forever
I almost faced it and lied
