Facing demons in the darkness, race against the hands of time Spinning around the dial, tightening slowly Throat closes, white knuckles Tears of anguish, Lucifer chuckles Sinking further, fog & shadow Climbing the walls, always falling down & out Lost & found a deeper well Stagnant water drowning sorrows Swallow poison Closet skeletons, pink elephants, Venomous snakes lying in wait (2x) Left for dead on the battlefield, shallow grave Cries for help, pleas for mercy Know they won't be answered Haunting echoes in the distance Being followed, creeping footsteps Stop to listen, must've been the wind You tell yourself but don't believe it Deafening silence, hear your heart pounding Gasping for breath, in the twilight there's a signpost up ahead, Thrusting fists, still insist you seen a ghost Closet skeletons, pink elephants, Venomous snakes lying in wait (2x)

Blood Money 02:24
Don't say there's no escape No way home is not the same You have to get ahead or you'll be left behind Like the rest of them, running out of places to hide Blood money, blood blood money Everybody's becoming so hungry Trust no one, trust nobody If they try to sell you something We're wasting what we're making its Taking its toll & we're paying Impatient frustration & still can't shake that sensation We're waiting as prey saying this is our fate When the day comes, when the line's drawn The question becomes which side you're on Blood money, blood blood money Everybody's becoming so hungry Trust no one, trust nobody If they try to sell you something

Take a shot, scratch the itch Cursed priest, hexed witch Creatures of habit, slaves to the grind Need to escape, change your mind & Feed the monkey, chase the dragon, Turning on & off the wagon If you quit now, you'll never win A chance to spin the wheel again God won't save us from the fiery furnace On the road less traveled with the fallen angels Burn, fade.... It's better to burn than fade Its all charades anyway The first cut's the deepest but the last hurts worst See the light fade to black Don't look down, can't go back Cards were dealt, magic tricks The deck's been stacked, take your pick God won't save us from the fiery furnace On the road less traveled with the fallen angels

S.O.S. 03:06
When I was a child, I believed in magic Born to be wild, can you imagine? Told I'd understand it more when I was older But I need a hand & to cry on a shoulder That was back then, & now its so late There's nothing left to do but sit here & wait For the shit to hit the fan, dire straits, on fire in the frying pan Same old shit different day, Life is a bitch then you die so they say Its the same old same shit different day I remember when it wasn't this way When I was a child, I believed in magic Born to be wild, can you imagine? Told I'd understand it more when I got older But I need a hand & to cry on a shoulder Same old shit different day, Life is a bitch then you die so they say Its the same old same shit different day I remember when it wasn't this way Same old shit different day, Life is a bitch then you die so they say Its the same old same shit every day I remember when, it wasn't this, wasn't this way

All Alone 02:49
Let's go somewhere we speak freely talk is cheap, seeing's believing Come from nothing, among fungus, Quietly, people are sleeping. Cover up or you'll catch something Butterfly's pinned wings All of this has happened before. No one there to help me anymore. I'm not gonna make it on my own. Now I know I'll always be alone. Fly away or die trying, caged song bird crying Save the best, make it last, hope the worst is in the past Strike a match to light a spark, burns your fingers in the dar At first it hurts, I guess you must Get used to it, your eyes adjust. Get used to it, get used to it, I guess you must get used to it. Get used to it, get used to it, I guess you must get used to it. Used to get confused, who to trust? What to do? Just relax- don't resist- Obey instincts, think they let you choose? All of this has happened before. No one there to help me anymore. I'm not gonna make it on my own. Now I know I'll always be alone. All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone All of this has happened before. No one there to help me anymore. I'm not gonna make it on my own. Now I know I'll always be alone.

Black & Blue 02:40
How long can you hold your breath? Blindfold & a cigarette. Gunpowder & Zippo fuel, powerful & beautiful. One way ticket outta here, liar, crocodile tears- I remember what you said, never going to forget. Promise to come back soon. Turning blue in a black room. You promised to come back soon, turning blue, in a black room. Funny looking back on it, young & dumb & coming quick. Fall down you get up again, thought that it would never end. Now among the walking dead, see it waiting up ahead. Maybe it was always there- think its more than I can bear. Promise to come back soon. Turning blue in a black room. Promise to come back soon. Turning blue in a black room. Wonder what the future holds? Pretty corpses getting old. Memories of fantasy, silly little hopes & dreams. Love it then you let it go. Shove it down your throat & choke. Wishful thinking ends in tears. One day we'll all face our fears. Promise to come back soon. Turning blue in a black room. Promise to come back soon. Turning blue in a black room, turning blue in a black room, turning blue in a black room. You promised to come back soon, turning blue in a black room. How long can you hold your breath? Funny looking back on it. Thought that it would never end. I remember what you said. Never going to forget. Love it then you let it go. Shove it down your throat & choke. Wishful thinking ends in tears. One day we'll all face our fears.

What A Waste 01:55
I'm not afraid Nothin to lose Knew all along Neck in the noose Growing calloused Going to die Full of malice Don't know why Bottle in front of me Frontal lobotomy Smoke what burns Turn to the worst things Once the best is gone The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure Oh what a waste, oh what a waste, Oh what a waste, oh what a waste, Oh what a waste, oh what a waste, Oh what a waste, oh what a waste, oh what a waste. Turn to the worst things Once the best is gone The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure The search for the cure Will spread more infection to the pure.

Halfsleeper 03:31
All the parts of me that lived inside Are drowning in the sea of waking life They don't know their colors don't belong outside They don't know their colors don't belong Until they're spread across the open road Til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road Til they're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish Long dark veins and records playing memories All the things we yelled don't mean a thing When we're spinning out on dark and metal wind When we're flying like blue mary's angels through shattered glass When we find that tall dark shadow waiting there with outstretched hands He has given you a dress of red and me a skin of gray We'll be twisting here for hours til the light will bring us day And we're spread across the open road And we're spread across the asphalt on the open road And we're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish Long dark veins and records playing memories

Alive 02:35
It happened so fast I was taken by surprise Like running in molasses from the glowing red eyes then Explosion, the walls caved in, just a blanket of dust & silence Paralyzed listening to the scratching noises getting closer It's cold & wet hear chittering sounds of teeth & licking Think I can feel something tickling my feet Buried alive, Buried alive, Buried alive I'm being buried alive. Buried alive, Buried alive, Buried alive I'm being buried alive. Can't seem to stop the bleeding, Slowly starving watching vampires feeding The nights keep getting longer wake up weaker leeches growing stronger Had a chance to heed the warnings, laughted in the face of danger And it laughed right back Mourning every morning as the last die cast. Eaten alive, Eaten alive, Eaten alive I'm being eaten alive. Eaten alive, Eaten alive, Eaten alive I'm being eaten alive.

Birds & Bees 04:39
Nerve endings & chemistry, let them get the best of me. Careful what you wish for- the Good Witch? Virgin Whore? “Gaze deep in my eyes,” says the spider to the fly. A moth drawn to the fire. All the pretty ones are liars. Birds sing. Bees sting. Flowers from dirt. Trees burning. Sticky, squirming, twisting, turning dangerous curves. Fair warning. Have to laugh or else you cry. Older, wiser, dead inside. Once naive- an easy mark. Small fries feed the sharks. Make believe its just pretend- cliché story, tragic end. Broken heart shattered stone. Tattered skin, brittle bones. Birds sing. Bees sting. Flowers from dirt. Trees burning. Sticky, squirming, twisting, turning dangerous curves. Fair warning.
