We Are
01:04
|

|
We are the ignored, we are
We learn to exist, we learn to exist
America's whore we are
We learn to resist, we learn to resist
The failed ideas we are
we learn to dismiss, we learn to dismiss
The future is what we are
Into the abyss, into the abyss

Who's Laughing Now?
01:17
|
|||
|
Like the empty way I feel today
Like the mask that makes the disguise
I will sit and stare and pretend I care
While I'm asking myself
Why do I feel this way?
Like some disease is haunting my brain
The unease I feel inside
Anxiety that I cannot hide
Well now tell me
Is this common sense?
Or some joke at my expense?
Well ha ha ha
Who's laughing now?
Like the empty way I feel today
Like the mask that makes the disguise
I will sit and stare and pretend I care
While I'm asking myself
Why I am this way
Why I feel so strange
Why it is that I am alive
I will sit and stare and pretend I care
While I'm asking myself

Muriel

Muriel, how soft is your hair?

Look in my rose colored eyes
Let's fall in love before we die
Look in my rose colored soul
We'll say 'I do' on the grassy knoll
|

Let Go
01:53
|
|||
|
See you at the bar
Making a show
Empty conversation
How could you know?
See you gettin high
Mischief in your eye
Find a way to tell you
Live and let go
Betting on a race
Nothing to show
Try to save face
Live and let go
|

Sly
01:53
|
|||
|
Shake the fakes and make them break
Apart, the art of shaping fate
Unless the mess impressed upon the
Hearts of those whose aren't embraced
You feel that? You feel so sly
The way it sends shivers down the back of your spine
You feel that? You feel so good
You fall in line like they knew that you would
Turn the cheek and hear them speak of
Love above those well worn streets
Unless, do you confess to
Playing a part in changing history?

Demon
01:16
|
|||
|
When I hear you now it's clear
Your self-righteous way of thinking
When I need, you disappear
Like a phantom, slowly shrinking
When I could look, when I could look past
All that you took, All that you've stolen
When I could look, when I could look past
All that you left, All that you've broken
Indecision, your worst fear
Self-indulgence makes you happy
Hesitation when you're near
Shapeless demon, faintly laughing
|

State
00:48
|
|||
|
Nice police state, wouldn't you say?
It's been nice to know you, gonna lock you away
In solitary, where you'll be confined
No danger to the world we've designed
And you, you will do your time
Your choice, not mine
Do you know the crime?
|

Didn't Leave
03:02
|
|||
|
Police at the door
Didn't ask what for
They didn't leave

My god
--- Try to understand it
It's coming through the speakers
--- Is this what you hoped it would be?
Crashing against my eardrums
--- Try to make a statement
Collapsing my skull
--- Shaking off the lost memory
My god
--- Try to understand it
It's on the television
--- Is this what you hoped it would be?
Sending me spinning
--- Try to make a statement
Out of my mind
--- Shaking off the lost memory

Get Along
01:28
|
|||
|
I can see you over there
You're always on my mind
And if I leave, you wouldn't care
Cause you don't even try
There's not much I'd ask of you
Cause you might get it wrong
And if I took the mask off you
Would we still get along?
|
||||

Same Way
01:15
|
|||
|
A moth attracted to a flame
The things we love just bring us shame
We're always searching for a cause
Can't be the same way that it was
Another breakdown, another year
Our sense of wonder replaced by fear
|
||||
13. |
Disguise
01:41
|
|||
|
White sheets on your eyes
Who needs a disguise?
Blood leaks when you cry
Deceive with your lies
I know what you said
Deceive, disguise
Don't believe your eyes

Grim
01:12
|
|||
|
Tear apart everything you thought true
A mistaken message from society's fool
Taste the ashes as the statues fall
And the lies you've led raized like your crumbling wall
Witness to the grim opposition
Make way for a remade day
As you learn your lessons four centuries late
Your lost causes and your whitewashed hate
Are finally forgotten in an unmarked grave
Witness to the grim opposition
|

16. |
Stress
01:17
|
|||
|
What is this stress you give to yourself?
What is this stress you give to yourself?
You're making a mess, you're making a mess
What is this stress you give to yourself?
Figure it out - can't figure it out
|

Cosmic Trash
02:12
|
|||
|
Throw yourself away, cause all that you are is trash
No worth today, and tomorrow you'll still be trash
Until always, when everything is smashed to bits
And you'll say, how can we be such trash?
|
||||
18. |
Sick
02:13
|
|||
|
Sick on the surface, sick in my mind
Living with no purpose, I've left that all behind
Don't leave before I go
|

19. |
Loneliness
01:32
|
|||
|
Loneliness is my best friend
I don't need you here in the end
I don't want to hear about who's dead
I don't want your voice in my head
Loneliness is my best friend
She won't ask how my time is spent
Forty days between four walls
Tuning out false idols
|

Heavy Machinery

Color my mind with indecision
Forget my place due to expectation
I'm a liar, I'm a liar
