1.
Walking around with nothing in mind No idea it's about your time A disease that is unknown and deadly And will leave you in a pile melting What it does to your body's a crime Leaves both nature and science aloof Rotting in an instant puddle on the floor Bubbling flesh and bones left to fester No pain is felt, so fast Skin and muscles congeal into a mess No thoughts go through your head Before there was time, already dead The acid comes bursting from every pore Arms, legs and face melt below the door Into the hallway your neighbor slips in the shit They say to each other "What the fuck is it?" Nothing Left to be said Everyone knows you're dead Landlord cleaning up the mess No security deposit returned
2.
I don't tend to talk about politics I'm not going to start now Things are still just as fucked As they have ever been What works for you Might just not work for me Why don't you worry about you And leave the rest of us alone The time taken to worry About shit you can't even change Just try to make your life The best that it can be If this town is going to blow Then you will be the first to know Because bodies will lie broken Shrapnelled corpses in the street Then there will be nothing more That you need to worry about Everything decided for you I guess this is the end Nothing left to see here Please just move along Everyone is dead now And this includes you
3.
Committing of a so called crime, caught in the act again What makes something punishable to the fullest extent of the law Always have to walk the line between the thin and narrow But the laws of survival are different That's something that will never change The handcuffs go on, the door slams shut Never to be open again Is this really a trial, or just a Mandatory Sentence A slow walk to the gallows where I'll surely hang No kind of future for me in my days to come They say that I've done it once, and I will surely do it again Can't say for sure, but I guess that we will never know Not even given a chance to right the wrongs that I've made Getting sent to the front line, the punishment is so severe
4.
Uncontrollable sickness, bursting at the seams Filling up with fluids, becoming so obscene No way to drain the pus, it will puncture soon enough Covering surroundings, to perpetuate the sickness Coughing nonstop Gasping for Air Lungs fill with fluids Life is not fair Never seen before, but it will be seen again Everyone in proximity is now infected When you breathe the steam, it enters your lungs Everyone and everything is shit out of luck Coughing nonstop Hoping to breathe again Chances against you You're already dead
5.
Roadside assistance won't come out this far Out on the ice filled countryside Should have stayed home on this night Engine starts to seize, exhaust so dark you could choke There is no fixing this problem, way out here in the dark Going to have to try and search in the distance for help Or on this frost filled night, you will surely die Out here on the frozen landscape SicKles dangling from the trees And endless wasteland of nothingness How long will it take for this to end? Miles and miles, there is no farmhouse in sight Strange sounds fill the air, but what could it be? Must be a hallucination brought on by the cold A morbid vision still unconscious of death's scold And intimate fear with realistic consequence If no warmth is to be found, then suffering will follow You may lose your limbs, but first you lose your mind You know help's not coming, because nobody knows you're here
6.
Watch It 01:07
The sound of tape dropping into the slot Hope my parents don't come home, I hope I don't get caught Finally rented tha tape my parents didn't want me to see Had my brother's friend get it for a small fee What horrors are in store, what nightmares will be found? Still won't be enough until I'm buried in the ground So many movies with so little time "To watch" pile growing, but fuck it, I will try Watching all the garbage that others ignore Can't wait to see what else is in store Seventies and Eighties, I can't get enough New movies, I don't even watch that stuff I don't understand peoples' way of thinking If it's already been done good, why do it again? So many flicks seem to be buried in the past If it were up to me, I'd watch videos every day Sometimes it seems like a total outright crime But I will press on and do the best I can Horror, action and comedy is all I ever need
7.
Dead End 02:40
Wrong turn down a lonely dead end street Cut down in your prime like a piece of meat Dragging your torso, not realizing what's been done Now you are cut n two, should have been strapped in Swiftly cascading down the mountainside A fine, crisp evening for a late night drive Losing control as you roam around the corner But now your vehicle flips without warning Over the edge, plummet to your doom Don't worry now, death will come soon A giant crash, a massive explosion That will be the end of your family vacation A mild sense of closure, but still questions to ask How did it come to this? You tried to be so careful Maybe it was meant to be, and maybe it was random? Doesn't really matter now, you're a charred corpse You are dead now, in a ditch Decapitated piece of shit No one will miss you, no one at all You are left to die in your car
8.
Your band stands on stages for what seems like ages Playing on and on it seems, so loud no one can hear the screams Clearing out the whole room like a shit-filled sonic boom It's time to call it quits, because nobody cares, including you I know you won't listen, because you never have before So let's make it crystal clear, get out the fucking door Everyone that's here, you put on the guestlist for free They don't care about you or your stupid fucking band Can't you see your set's too long? Don't even have a good song Why would you subject people to this every three or four days? There's no signs of slowing down, you have nothing better to do It appears to never even start, and will never have an end Everyone that's here you put on the guestlist for free They don't care about you or your stupid fucking band Because you had to let in all of your so called friends None of them will attend your fucking funeral
9.
Run Them Out 01:59
Are we not cut from the same rotten cloth? Filled with rips and holes, stained with blood Used again and again to wash up all the filth Scrub as hard as you can, never clean Ignorance and arrogance, daily life is too much for you Intolerance, belligerence, is all you know how to do Malevolence and confidence, so sure of yourself Disturbance, reassurance, can't seem to understand Confinement of the worst kind, in your head Predetermined closed mindedness Walls closing in on you, everything confused Just a blur of insanity and unconformity Too much importance placed on other people's lives So much effort made to make them see the world through your eyes Can't teach an old dog new tricks, so I guess it will have to die So much misplaced intellect inside your human mind Open to the world around, as long as it's what you want to see When I meet people like you, I never know what to say
10.
Gun In Hand 01:47
Not enough time in the day, can't stop thinking about my friends But they wanted to be dead, and now they are nobody's anything anymore Was there a moment in that final time? Did you think about anyone but yourself? Making it harder for others to cope Now that you are gone, we will never know Sometimes when I think back on that day I tell myself you didn't know it was loaded Still, you ended up getting blown away Everyone else left to pick up the pieces Just kill yourself slowly like everyone else Don't be a fool and put a gun to your head Press on and do the best that you can Why be a wimp and die by your own hand? Put that noose away and get down from that chair Don't commit suicide, there is still something left The world will spit you out when it's done Maybe if we're lucky, we'll die having fun Little was known, but an overdose occured You were trying so hard, but still death came Again, left to wonder if purposeful or not Yet it seems to matter less everyday All that matters is I once had some friends Who I wish I could have helped But I'm not sure there is anything I could say That would have changed anything anyway
11.
Not quite sure I'm imagining things Pretty damn sure something is out to get me A simultaneous, yet alternative dimension From the clouds to the lowest ascension Dust cloud rises in their wake Innocent mortals the portals will take Loud metallic sounds, eliminate their cries Universe will swallow, dark earths hollow A crypt filled with corpses From massive experiments Some appear human, others a mystery They walk the earth undetected Below the surface a colony has erected
12.
Gone Forever 02:24
The time has come to disconnect Let's unplug our whole damn lives Started to rely on nothing real And soon it will all fade away That day has become today Grids have all been shut down Returning ourselves to the dark A place that we all once lived A similar time when we used our minds Figure out our problems not online Trying to say what we need to do I feel my brain decaying, don't you? Rotting in your skull, a putrid taste Left to fester from misuse, unused Time to act now, or it's going to waste Once it's gone, it's gone forever Brains are unable to turn off The screens are blaring, always on No simple way to sit back and relax When our conscience is all but gone Can we realize what we once were When the rays had burned our eyes? Why is this people's reason to live Right where they want you shut down? Easy to manage because you're blind What's going on inside your mind? Click on this and swipe to that You yourself have become an app Just a number on someone's list To give them purpose I'm so remmised Of what to do but start from scratch Or is it too late? Have I come undone?
13.
We are consumed by fire (x4) The gas leaks out onto the ground Soon only destruction will be found Rolls across the earth undetected Now you're saturated from head to toe We are consumed by fire (x2) The whole street is charred and burned away Still not a single lesson has been learned today By this offense, you have paid with your life In such a painful way, it will take hours to die We are consumed by fire
14.
Human Scar 02:56
The level of absurdity Has reached its hilt The highest Echelon of redundancy Is now obtained Common mouths vomit Words of uselessness Essence of nothing Packaged up in flesh Falling Hard Falling often Falling with no end No chance of reprisal Kicked down in the dirt Taken to the place From where we came Made of carbon Made from stars Made to be human The universes scar Built in such a way We’re guaranteed to fail Burning on all cylinders Bound to this plain of life Escape so unlikely, the dream is now dead Spinning into endless space, nothing left but pain Doesn’t seem to be an exit, from this nightmare Born to fail, weakness grows Powerless, The end is now
15.
Mind Killer 00:56
On you’re way over to the hospital Time for the family visit to see what’s left of her They keep saying she’s not crazy She just needs a little time Might still be a chance that she could come home? Wouldn’t have to spend these endless nights alone Just sitting in a chair no sign of conscience thought But when you look deep inside you can see that it waits Try to avoid insanity, but it has come for you and me It could be you’re friend or a total stranger Either way you know you’re lives in danger Heading back home with a nauseous feeling When you go to bed just stare at the ceiling Could she get out and find her way home Did she really stab that other patient with a comb? Maybe she’ll come home to show some appreciation For all those years locked up in the sanitarium The locks have been picked and the guards are now slain Only thing left is to distribute all the pain
16.
Crushed automobiles fill the landscape Twisted bodies pour from the wreck A massive pile up a mile long Gore and guts burst over the rails Nobody survived, so nobody screams Just a mess of blood and lost dreams Happens every single day People’s lives are taken away Smashed to pieces on the street Boiling in the summer heat Not paying any attention Roaming into the other lane Drift into oncoming traffic One less piece of shit Playing with your cell phone And texting while you drive We will sleep well tonight Knowing you’re not alive
17.
If I could see inside your head, don’t think there would be much to see An empty cavity drained and weak of any thought, for anyone but yourself No fucking empathy to be seen, no hope that you will ever change Just keep on drifting down the road causing others pain, watching it all unfold Self styled bullshit, believe in your own lies, the shit you lay on so thick Said it once it must be true, can’t wait to hear your own next line Someday your time will have to come and then you, will look back on life There’s a reason to keep to yourself, don’t want to listen to the hell That is your everyday life a never ending tragedy, fucking heard it twice Personal business on the table, Force others to engage Don’t realize that no one cares about you By then it will be far to late, just in time for you to fucking loose Everyone and everything that you hold dear, you will not be missed It’s been a long time coming, should have seen it long ago But you were to consumed by yourself and how, important you think you are Self styled bullshit, still believing in those lies, shit that you seem to spread so thick Nothing ever gets through to you, seems to be nothing left to do If you get a chance to load a gun I’d recommend, putting it in your mouth That should just about do it, if you pute your mouth on the barrel Long enought to end this joke that has been, your entire life It’s far to late, now it’s time you loose.
18.
Fuck Cancer 00:35
Syptoms so well known, treatment distributed wide Still people seem to be dropping just like flies Haven’t you killed enough - FUCK CANCER How many more will die - FUCK CANCER Proof there is no god - FUCK CANCER Soon it will come for us - FUCK CANCER No way of knowing for sure, if they will ever find a cure The disease takes it’s final toll, death rate out of control one by one the human race dies nobody left to hear the cries
19.
Life Justice 03:31
Karma setting in for the things that you have done Couldn’t have possibly thought you would walk away from this Fucking everyone over and shitting on you family Justice is to be served to those who disrespect Life has come full circle now you’re the one in pain Only think of yourself because your just that lame Now the world is here to piss on you The shit has come full circle there is nothing that you can do Now your alone to die just the way that you should Life Justice Stepping on peoples backs to reach higher ground Even when you get up to the top you will be shot down Then you will come back down to the bottom, we will still be here Lying in wait to attack and deliver you from your greatest fear Now you feel like shit and look even worse That is how the world works when you treat people like dirt Set to destroy the self righteous scum they die like all the rest Don’t bother pleading we know just what you’ve done
20.
Thirst 02:28
Thirst bubble’s up from down below, the demon has risen now here we go Drowned in utter misery, but it’s the only way to quench the thirst Suffering is necessary, builds you from the ground up to tear you down Swimming in an ocean of uncertainty without a single drop That there is any way that I will get out of here alive Up is down and down is up I wish all these humans would shut the fuck up Chatter builds inside my brain trying to make me do that thing again But what is right and what is wrong as long as you find a way to get it on Now here it is I stand, looking at the edge of the world Only just the one way out, try not to collapse Looking upward I see, just the never-ending darkness That has always followed me, with a trail of death and empty bottles Torture and pain, maybe self-inflicted but its all the same Get me to the end, without destroying everyone around me It might not just work out that way, sometimes there is no control Now here it is I stand, looking at the edge of the world Only just the one way out, try not to collapse Strength is just a relative term, it only matters if the beast is stronger Grinds you down, breaks you down to the nothing that you are Maybe this time will be easier, but I doubt it will be easy again Every time the weakness grows it’s like the demon always knows Now here it is I stand, looking at the edge of the world Only just the one way out, try not to collapse
21.
Hit & Run 02:32
22.
Don’t want any of this fucking “culture” Hip fucking bullshit that you flock to Not even trying to Understand This shit is so fucking bland Read it on the internet so it must be true The downfall of our culture is because of you Couldn’t just be happy with your true friends Now you have to follow all the latest trends Doomed to be a lame ass, one without any sort of class Don’t even know the roots of your scene you think everyone is oh so fucking mean Nice fucking lingo why don’t you speak like me Talking like a text message to dumb to fucking see Your dumbing down language Your dumbing down our culture Talking like you know something But you don’t know shit
23.
The Wild 01:53
Another day out on the hunt never finding shit Out there in the wild is there nothing to be found Every once in a great while there might be a score Going to have to spend some time digging on the floor There it is the needle in this massive stack One that I’ve been trying to find for fucking years Some schlocky exploitation, static horror mess One that I have to go home and watch right away Analog and dead format’s is my way of life If you don’t understand this than you never will Get in the way of my tapes, and I’ll draw my knife And on this alter of digital slaughter your blood will spill
24.
Dissenting voices, creep needing into my brain Telling me there’s nothing to fear everything’s the same Worrying only makes it worse, The disease is an outright curse Couldn’t imagine that this would last A spell I thought would be uncast Trying to build on this rotten foundation Something that is my own creation Making for a likely collapse, leaving my life in the past The mental condition, is a mystery to me Making the world move faster, faster than I can see Trying to make it slow down, so I can take a hold On my very existence, before my blood turns cold Into the earth my remains soon go, hope I’m truly dead when I’m put below The fear creeps in that this must be true But there is still nothing I can even do Outside awaiting my gruesome fate Anger and frustration but it’s to late There must be a way to escape the grasp As I lay hear listen to the casket clasp
25.
Land Monster 01:01
Fat fucking person, slouching around Never will amount to much Just sit and wear your crucifix Wouldn’t be happy if I were you About what you’re god has put you through Each day is an utter struggle Just to get up and out of bed Don’t you worry you’ll soon be dead Life in torment and Complete and utter agony Ugly, worthless and weak Nothing but hollow thought Waste of life, waste of air Why don’t you just get out of hear? Grab a gun and tighten the rope I can assure you there is no hope.
26.
How many times have you been told? Not to venture in the cold To buckle up tight, lock it in good Give yourself a chance to win the fight Against the pavement you will slam Down upon this ice cold street Through the windshield you will go Don’t be a projectile Or the blood will start to flow On the ground it will be yours When you’re scraped up off the road Because your head had to explode You should have better fucking known When you slammed into that car Nothing there to hold you down So many people die Every single fucking year Can’t help but start to think That their time has come Leaving those dumb and blind On the road and left behind
27.
Self-righteous fucking bastard, total outright scum Where is it that you seem to think that you come from? Moved to the big city from a place that you think sucked Didn’t even try to make things better, Just went and got fucked Stop Your Fucking Car Yelling out insults like you have something to say Maybe next time you hit a red light I’ll cave in your face
28.
Night Beast 02:02
In the darkness of the starless night The beast begins to follow me Try to run but only move slower Like I’m caught in a spider’s web Getting closer I can hear but not see That a massive creature shadows over me After this I could not go back Even if I can to survive Always knew it would come to this Don’t know how or why but I did One of man’s greatest mystery’s Now becomes my final destiny Acceptance is the first step to reality But what is this that stands before me A nightmarish vision, can’t draw the line Between the edge of time All is over time is running short Through all the body parts they will sort After this is the first step If I can survive
29.
We don’t care how much you’re willing to pay This is something that we have to do anyway Didn’t drag this chainsaw here for nothing Here we stand and it’s time to start something Seeing the blood flow is just the thing we need it has the same affect as a shot of speed How many pieces can we make with you today Let’s start the dismemberment it’s the only way So hard people always beg with their life “please don’t murder me or my precious wife” Don’t have time to listen to your pleas Filthy little fucker begging on your knees Why is it that you won’t die Try so hard to stay alive Save your tears, no one here cares If you’d just stopped to think this through Could have seen it coming If you had just looked ahead Not that hard and then you’d not be so dead Ripcord is pulled and the motor turns Through your flesh the chainsaw burns We don’t care how much you’re willing to pay This is something that we have to do anyway Didn’t drag this chainsaw here for nothing Here we stand and it’s time to start something
30.
As the light begins to flicker, on the pull down screen I see all the tell tale signs, what is it they mean? The film begins to roll, the curtains have been drawn Looking all around me and there is nobody to be found How did this happen I was sitting in my chair Now I find myself flying through the air As the projector comes on, I am slowly drifting through Then all of a sudden I swerve out of control Thought maybe it was my over active imagination Something created by my trials and tribulations Everything I have known slowly fading away Now it’s just me alone with a genuine sense of fear As the light begin to flicker, on the pull down screen I see all the tell tale signs, what is it they mean? The film begins to roll, the curtains have been drawn Looking all around me and there is nobody to be found I thought this was just supposed to be a class To teach me how to not drive like an ass Now I find that I’m triyng to stay alive Even though my life is gone My mind and body moving on
31.
Ears won’t stop ringing, still seeing stars This taste in my mouth, makes me want to barf Slammed in the street, there’s blood everywhere What the hell happened That slam came from Nowhere
32.
Sounds pretty good through these fucked up eyes The band is playing loud so no one hears your cries Do it like they do in a New Guinea shelter This mosh pit’s gonna look like helter skelter Pick you out of the crowd, put the sights on you Chopping you into bits is what we have to do Because all you do is start fights and make people want to leave Maybe it’s finally time that your the one who leaves Should have paid attention and made better choices So you might have survived as the native approaches There's but one solution to those who disgrace the tribe Make the culprit watch as he’s eaten alive The flesh is on the table, and now the shows a safer place We have set a fine example, by devouring your face No more need to worry, the threat is now gone Wish I’d tasted you sooner, it wouldn’t have taken so long To devour your face, and make the shows a safer place Trying to impress the tough guys just put you on our plates We won’t tolerate people trying to start up fights Remember that your just meat and can be turned into food If you dance like a ninja or are impossibly rude
