1. Black


Voices call, they call out my name, my name, my name.
Well, they say Iīm different. Well Iīm not the same, same.
You say you want to, ah, be like me.
Well, boy let me tell ya, you donīt know what Iīve seen.

They say a devil lives in my soul.
I promise not to let him take control.

Iīm mindinī my own business.
I ainīt doinī nothinī wrong.

Shadows follow so close behind me.
I look in the mirror; I donīt like what I see.
Oh, God, canīt you help me get outta here, here?
I feel like Iīm livinī deep in hell.

Iīm mindinī my own business.
I ainīt doinī nothinī wrong.

I said that,
I.. Iīm mindinī, Iīm mindinī my own, own
I ainīt doinī nothinī wrong.
Nothing wrong.



2. Bitch


I canīt imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I canīt imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Donīt tell me
I canīt imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
Every night that you have is an equal

Donīt hesitate
Or youīll live in your own hell
Out of my way
Youīre surrounded by evil
Donīt hesitate
You can get away
Out of my way
Out of my way (huh)

The dark clouds that follow you
The rainy days will always find you
You can never get away
Evil comes another day

Donīt hesitate
Or you live in your own hell
Out of my way youīre surrounded by evil
Donīt hesitate, you canīt get away

I canīt imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I canīt imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Step up and
I canīt imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
I hope it catches you up

I canīt imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah



3. Terminator


I can go way back in my mind
This music thing was a joke
I didnīt do my time
They couldnīt finally bring me up
Now I do it real tough
And Iīm rough

Come on Iīm the terminator for all
Hurry up yīall its time to go on
I love to hate em
This is my story yo

Iīm a terminator determined to end your life
Iīm a terminator

Can I ever have good luck?
Seems in life, nothing
Yeah everything is so fucked up
I gotta keep going on
I will survive, Iīm strong

Long time coming
Somebody catch my train
Itīs too late, Its driving me insane
Everybody is going somewhere else
This is my story yo,
Peace
Iīm a terminator determined to end your life
Iīm a terminator

Taken back life



4. Too Close To Hate


Feel it inside
I need someone to bide my time
I look around
This world seems to bring me down

Talk to me
Too close to me, to talk to me not to me
So close to hate, what you wanna hate? Not to hate?

Save, Save, Save

Bide my time
This path that I walk
Is leading me blind
I walk over and ask
Ask the question will I ever last

Talk to me
Too close to me, to talk to me not to me
So close to hate, what you wanna hate? Not to hate?

Save, Save, Save

And now I feel it in my head, again
Hey
Iīm still stuck inside

And now I feel it in my head, again

Iīm still stuck inside



5. Wired


Lock my door, close my blinds
I wanna be by myself
Whatīs that thing you put in your nose?
Can I have some?

I see you do this everyday
I hope you donīt blow yourself away
Are you feelinī real good

Wired
(Wired, do you)
Wired
(Wired, do it alone)

Oh the room is getting dark
Oh I hope my heart donīt stop
Do you really give a damn?
Do you even understand?
Whatīs that mean

The hour lashes drainin thin
Where have you been?
I know it makes you feel real good

Wired
(Wired, do you)
Wired
(Wired, do it alone)

Are you wired my child?
You live you life itīs your world
Seeinī things you never knew
One day itīll get you

Are you?

Lock my door, close my blinds
I wanna be by myself, by myself
Whatīs that thing you put in your nose?
Are you gonna do it by yourself

I feel like Iīm closing in
I hope my life will never end
I know it makes you feel real good

Wired
(Wired, do you)
Wired
(Wired, do it alone)

Wired



6. Prayer


I remember praying with you

Feeling alone,
And Iīm by myself
I canīt find no one else
Thinking of you
Drives me crazy
Iīm kinda feeling lazy

So much frustration
Built inside of me
Oh, itīs killing me woah
What am I turned to
I canīt lose you

Who do you pray to?

This is my prayer for you all

I stand all alone
Looking at my shoes
Making me think of you
Like my dad said
Boy be brave, donīt let them take you no!
What can I do?
I think Iīm losing you

This is my prayer for you all

I remember praying with you
You left me
Your gone
I remember praying with you



7. Face


Come along with me on an acid trip
I take your mind to a terminal bliss
Youīre bound and gagged
Ah ha ha ha
Motherfuckers I laugh

This chick that stayed with me last night
I despise all the reasons she stayed the night
I swear she screamed
She screamed so softly

Rape

Days go by the last so long
Sheīs still tired she wants to go home
I canīt let her get away
I promise one day sheīll pray for me
To forgive for all Iīve done
It ainīt easy thatīs what she said
I swear she screamed
She screamed so softly

Rape me
Donīt make me wait
You fuckinī disgrace

I love the pain

Disgusted with myself
About what Iīve done
I canīt imagine itīd be so much fun
It lasted so long
The trip went on and on and on
And then she said to me
Remember these words I say to me
I swear she screamed
She screamed so softly

Rape me
Donīt make me wait
You fuckinī disgrace
I love the pain

Rape me
Donīt make me wait
I love the pain



8. Speak


Whenever I feel like itīs all in my mind
I can feel it
Iīm talking to myself again
Whenever I hear you its so hard to find
I can feel it
Iīm talking to myself again
Whenever I feel like (I can feel)
Itīs all (I can feel) in my mind
Whenever I hear you (I can feel)
Its so hard to find (I can feel)

Wrap your wrists when you wanna through
And ya
Pop in a clip when you wanna drop
But man make sure that the casketsī closed

So whatcha gonna say
Speak to me

Whenever oh I feel inside
Sometimes (I can feel)
I can feel

Wrap your wrists when you wanna through
And ya
Pop in a clip when you wanna drop
But man make sure that the casketsī closed

Wrap your wrists when you wanna through
And ya
Pop in a clip when you wanna drop
But man make sure that the casketsī closed

So whatcha gonna say
Speak to me
So whatcha gonna say
Speak to me



9. Will It Bleed


Confusion, perception.
Rage inside of me.
Or will it ever; or can it ever; or will it ever take me?
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain again
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain.
Passion; Find direction.
Hate inside of me.
Or will it ever, or can it ever; or will it ever take me?
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain again
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain.
Iīd rather kill myself.
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain again.
Iīd rather kill myself, than put you through the pain.



10. My Ruin


Inside my shadow,
I can hear you. Am I near you?
Inside my shadow,
I can smell you. can I tell you?
Inside my shadow,
I can love you. Think I need you.
Inside my shadow,
I can feel you. Iīve embraced you.
Am I Real?
Am I Real?
Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust.
If thereīs tomorrow,
Would you give me Please forgive me?
If thereīs tomorrow,
Youīd be buried and that just scares me.
Am I Real?
Am I Real?
Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust.
Save my World.

Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust.
Save my ruin.
My World



11. Born To Die


Opened up my eyes
Release me

I canīt believe
This is happening to me
Born to live but sworn to die
My body is warm, my fingers are cold
I think they buried me alive
I might have found, lost my soul
As the pages of my life unfold

Opened up my eyes
Release me

Did I walk a long way?
Today is finally owned me
Twist a blunt, itīs time to fly
The cough is growing
Micodots? are flowing
Oh my god, Iīm ready to die

Born to die
(Born to die)
Born to die
Born to die
(Sing together)
Born to die

I canīt believe
This is happening to me
Born to live but sworn to die
My body is warm, my fingers are cold
I think they buried me alive
I might have found, lost my soul
These are the pages of my life

Born to die
(Born to die)
Born to die
Born to die
(Sing together)
Born to die
