Swine 02:09
Bait I wanted better from you Can’t we just get along can’t we all just get along? Paint our faces red. We’ll grind our teeth and bleed together we’ll hunt and all be freed We’re family Nothing will hold us down, the world cant hold us down Sacrifice is what we need we’ll slaughter all we see Things aren't looking so great you said to all your friends We're marooned here all to our selves with time to clean our heads

Good Grief 03:16
I wake with wires around my neck And when I dream I swear I see entire cities I give my hands to you I renounce the throne I am not what you need but you can’t imagine how I feel I have numbed my self to the world I’m in Wait. When you feel like I’ve been feeling You can’t imagine that this pain is even real I want to peel back all the layers of the sky I want to feed on others pain and pull you in Cursed drowned ruined damned I’ve made a mistake I’ve had this all wrong I’m innocent I am not what you need I can’t even stand I’m sick to my bones this is it I am not what you need I’m sick I’m sick I don’t need your help I am not what you need I give my hands to you I renounce the throne I am not what you need but you can’t imagine how I feel But I know how to purge your sings Ill wait

Carnage 03:04
Fall out rains down and we end With the power of gods in the hands of children We’re walking embarrassments we’re the children of blasphemy We’ve all gone cold. Don’t forget who you really are we’re a race above the rest We’ll be choking with our sinners bruised beaten and black and burdened Blasphemy. With the power of gods in the hands of children We’re walking embarrassments we’re the children of blasphemy Fall out rains down

Branded waiting to sin You’ve been told what to believe Rise up confirmed Arches and towers what we’ve built on Open your hearts open your wallets Molest your children these are our fathers What if all your beliefs broke down in front of you? What would you believe in? What would you have faith in? Molded and shaped let go believe Rise up. You’ve been told what to believe I’m still searching for a higher being Take walk a with me and see what we see Maybe the seas will part we’ll taste the water wine You chose what you believe in You choose what we believe in Molded and shape let go believe What if all your beliefs broke down in front of you? What would you believe in? Open your hearts Open your wallets Molest your children These are our fathers Rise Up.

Fiend 02:44
I don’t feel right couldn’t you tell? When we do this time slows down I want out. We can’t escape at all we cant escape at all I don’t want to ruin your mind But I see the future I swear I think I do I think I’ve been awake for too long I haven’t eaten or slept where are you? Please just shut this off turn it off I see future and I’m obligated to say We measure up to nothing then we rot away I’d save your breath we don’t go on We’ll leave no mark and you’ll have no say Come on and save us all

Mescaline 02:08
There are times even being right feels wrong If you’re crazy it’s time you get paid for it you’ll be locked Buy the ticket take a ride I hate to advocate drugs sex and alcohol Violence or insanity but it’s always worked for me I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five One more time for you fuckers up top I’ll make it clear who’s the one on top The world ends today and here’s a salute to you I hate to advocate drugs sex and alcohol Violence or insanity but it’s always worked for me

Dream Eater 03:47
Fucking close your eyes and hope this ends Girl you might not know this but it’s true that I stay awake Awake when you sleep Awake when you dream I can see into your dreams I’m here to save you from your dreams and I’ll be your king I’ll swallow them whole I’ll swallow them whole So open wide I pulled my teeth out girl just for you I am your king.Nightmares are no match for me do you know who I am? Eat dreams Cure heal I’ll set you free.

Encores 02:20
I’ve been counting sins. We walked it off walked it off we don’t feel a thing We walked it off walked it off we don’t feel a thing Believe it. You can kill time because I don’t event want it You should kill time because we don’t even need it I want to feel alive tonight just like all of you around me Hell won’t change it won’t change for you Hell won’t change it didn’t change for me it won’t change for you Change for me not for any of you now Don’t tell me you even know us You made a choice and now you live with it You pointed to the road and now we’ve gone and ruined it I’ve lost the time. Well it looks like you’ve lost the time But it seems I’ve found it fine And we’ll be waiting here tonight We’ll be waiting here tonight Live Take it back to where it all began Hell wont change but we’re not really “here” at all We won’t we won’t ever change

Burdens 04:55
Worthless. I’m here locked up wasting away turned up face down Rout. This is a list of people I know secrets I hold. I can change your life Held my tongue far too long now I’m done Creep. Wrap this thought around my mind burns my eyes Creep. I can barely look you in your eyes I know about your past I could ruin everything but I’ll hold it all inside I hope it eats you away I hope you can’t sleep at night Never forget the filth you are. make me sick You’re filth. I wish things could be different but I can’t be your saviour You deserve so much better I’m sorry but I’ll never tell I’ve seen you change I’ve watched you shape I cant watch It feels like weight on my shoulders Maybe you know this stone burden.
11.
Abandon 03:47
Call out the leader and bring him back He’s abandoned us left us and now the sun is turning black We’re fucked hot shot we’ve all starved to death we’ve got a lot to learnSpeak up fake friend what did you say? Well say it to my face How’s it feel to be on top of the world? I promise I’ll be great and you’ll be proud While your head up the clouds know what we felt? Don’t bother to get up because we’re in hell We bore down clinched our teeth and took a vow You left us here and we turned to rot and we’ve stood strong You can’t believe what you can do when you have nothing left If I ever seen you again I’ll drive this knife right through your chest The blood will pour and we’ll all rejoice You betrayed us all. Who do you think you are? Fight back fight back. If you’re the animal you say you are then you'll Fight back fight back let the pack take control of you Fight back fight back and together we’ll drown those who hold us back You betrayed us all.
