1. Let Go
Another time another place
I might have had a smile on my face
this could have been such a beautiful thing
but now itīs just a fucking waste of time
Weīve said what had to be said
the issueīs discussed already dead
Weīre clinging to something
what we donīt know
Itīs about time we just let go
Whatīs the point, why do we bother
just to try and hurt each other
or to try and save part of what was there
put on an act pretend like we care
avoiding the outcome we both know
cut the shit and just let go
All this back and forth
cheap shots no remorse
no chance wounds to mend
when is this all gonna end
All i ever wanted was some fucking peace
2. Call To Arms
Another cause, heed the call, everybody rally īround
donīt contemplate if itīs right, just follow the crowd
but donīt you dare disagree
īcause theyīll question your loyalty
their idea of comraderie is to heed their call to arms
who appointed you the moral judge
pointing your fingers at everyone
donīt pull that guilt trip bullshit on me
nothing you say or do can decide for me
So go ahead, keep your rules, iīll choose my own wars
your accusations and harsh words canīt do me any harm
īcause i donīt believe in blind loyalty
thatīs just mob mentality
I will answer whatīs right for me
And not your call to arms
3. Potential For A Fall
Hereīs another tale, a replay of societyīs failures
out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth
and the ones in charge, once secure show disregard
for future generations who must endure whatīs left behind
No compassion, no caution, no forethought
Potential for a fall
No forethought, no vision, no future
Potential for a fall
go about our lives as we turn a blind eye
as long as i get mine
potential for a fall
submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away
just canīt seem to hold it together
And yet we continue with the charade of being individuals
as we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends
are we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters
iīm not asking you to bleed but show consideration please
sit back and let it slip away
We canīt seem to hold it together we canīt seem to get it right
4. Falter
Always looking, always waiting anticipating
fickle and jaded sometimes sloppy working the body
the pressure is in my head i wonīt falter
the hell with meeting expectations
proudly displaying imperfections
sometimes sloppy working the body
the pressure is in my head i wonīt falter
it wonīt be the end of me īcause i wonīt let it get to me
5. The Future Is Mine
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone
the futureīs mine
Itīs such a waste of precious time, precious years
precious feelings that are misdirected
and should be disconnected
Itīs such a shame to learn a lesson
after giving of yourself in all so many ways
to find it didnīt pay
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone - now
Donīt want to compromise myself
low self image hasnīt got the best of confidence
at least not yet it hasnīt
Only the least affected can be the most respected
just to escape is worth the temporary pain and hurt
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone
iīve had enough this time
the future is mine
my friends objectively
told me again and again about the things that i refused to see
6. Guilty
I watch as innocence is slaughtered
canīt stop the ringing in my head
you canīt see what i see, you canīt feel what i feel
Guilty - the time will surely come
guilty - when i pay a heavy price - guilty
I search for love but find opression
canīt stop the ringing in my head
you canīt see what i see, you canīt feel what i feel
just when iīve fought out of the corner
I find my back against the wall
my rules are far too hard to live by, they beat me down from inside
Guilty - my standards are pathetic
guilty - i fail myself again
7. Falling Apart
My enemies lurk in the corner of my eye
Falling apart
Staring back from the dark shadows in my mind
Faling apart
My trust is like a crumbling statue
Falling apart
I try to hide but find no refuge
Faling apart
They seem so threatening
they all seem so threatening
theyīre all coming after me
The enemyīs after me - thatīs a problem
from what i see the land of the free is ready
to arm me to the teeth - thatīs a problem
weīre free to cheat, free to steal
free to wreck each other at will
they shock my chill, shock my senses
never let down my defenses
kundaliniīs in a mess
and iīm shattering from stress
they victimize, traumatize
and iīm as vulnerable as a child
all the sounds i hear at night
is my alarm going off
are my windows shut and locked
as i fumble trough my keys
you see me falling apart at the seams
Falling apart
The enemyīs after me
8. Sanctuary
This is for the one who saved me
accepts me for who i am, just me
and always gives back tenfold whatever i give
Respect was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated
mutual ideals and passion straight from the soul, from my soul
When iīm safely in your arms there i find my sanctuary
help me weather every storm, youīre my sanctuary, my true love
There are those who tried to use you
even ones who would abuse you
they never took the time to see what i see
how youīre always waiting for me kept me sane while all was crazy
and so i give you whatīs dearest to me
My true love the very first time you touched my soul
from that day on never want to let you go
9. Morally Confused
Morraly confused īcause iīm faced with the scum
the scum that keeps my emotions numb
fight with the images, i fight with my thoughts
suppress all the violence & keep backing off
Am i still good if i want to see it
am i still sane if i want to feel it
The love in my heart ainīt the answer to it
blood on my hands and morraly confused
I feel the pain that i inflict
thereīs a lot of baggage that keeps building up
baggage thatīs always annoying as fuck
annoying reminders of how it is
frustrating shit thatīll never change
I canīt be bothered with problem solvers
all sound alike, theyīre all pantomime
I canīt be bothered with problem solvers
leave me to stew here alone in my fuckin juice
I donīt know, i donīt know whatīs right
I canīt shut these images out
10. Hindsight
Donīt think of the couldīve beens
Donīt think of what shouldīve been
Weed out your weaknesses
piled up issue makes a mess
Donīt think you had a chance
donīt dwell on lost romance
Nothing is guaranteed
or caters to stupidity
They say life is what you make it
canīt go back and try to change it
learn to live with your regrets
Choose a path choose it right
itīs all there in black and white
disassociate joy and wealth
just donīt even kid yourself
They say life is what you make it
canīt go back and try to change it
choises that were made
opportunities
push away the pain and move on
with no delay
move on accept the shame
learn to live with your regrets
move on with no delay
move on accept the shame
itīs all behind you anyway
11. Martin
Hidden like the squalor that we create
Martin wants out of this
but poverty keeps him in this place
Sratching like the vermin between the walls
Martin needs a friend but the people the he meets
just give him shit and pretend, theyīre no good
heīs not blind, all he needs is a single ray of light
Lifeīs too short but seems too long
when lonliness becomes the norm
lifeīs too short but seems too long
and it may come as no surprise
but the lonliness in martinīs eyes
was good enough
and life itself was long enough
Knowing full well, knowing whatīs going on
knowing for far too long, jealous
heīs so jealous of all the fun
Martin needs a friend
but the pricks that he meets
just give him shit and pretend
Long enough, life itself was long enough
had enough, he laid down when he had enough
12. Pass The Buck
Close your eyes and youīre sure to see apathy
pass the buck so you donīt show sympathy
the beaten path donīt let it lead you misery
the fear you hold will only cheat you
donīt let it eat you like a cancer
we all pay for the shit we do
pass the buck not to me
out of touch with the things that set us free
pass the buck not to me
out of touch sitting back while we watch īem bleed
senseless, have we gone numb
youth led by image, what have we become
heartless itīs the way to be
maybe itīs for you but itīs not for me
not for me
13. Quiet Man
He stares back, he glares back at the eye of the vicious storm
heīs holding on defiantly īcause he wonīt give up his decency
not sucked in by evil nonsense
not weighted by a guilty conscience
The quiet man leads a quiet life hoping for the day he sees the light
his reticence was heaven sent and everywhere he turned
he saw the ways of the world and they were hell bent
he kept his virtue to himself
peace of mind is a fleeting thing
and heīs not sure when he comes across it
peace of mind is a fleeting thing
at least sometimes he can enjoy it, thatīs more than they can say
īcause they donīt change their evil ways more than they can say
īcause theyīre trapped in the storm they created
the quiet man could say heīs seen so many lives decay
but he chose to never spread his word
so when heīs gone his virtue fades away
14. Drastic
Think of where you came from
think about your past
wouldnīt you look ridiculous
selling out at last
donīt bite more than you can chew
in the search for the perfect you
donīt bite more than you can chew
you gotta be true, you gotta be true
donīt bite more than you can chew
in the search for the perfect you
donīt be drastic, donīt be drastic
that could be me
that could be you
no one is immune
cut some slack before you mock those
trying to improve
weīve all been there too
we always pull through
weīve got to learn humility
we wonīt make the same mistakes
15. (Just A) Patsy
Put defenses to rest
when justice becomes moot
defy - let others follow suit
to start the uprise is to start the war
paranoid conspiracies galore
Whatīs the point to maintain your innocence
whatīs the point to play into their game
whatīs the use to even try and sway
pigs that are out to put you away
Just a patsy played for a fool
crooked games are what theyīre playing
lying, cheating, self defeating
crooked games are what theyīre playing
accusations so demeaning, played for a fool
crooked games are what theyīre playing
lying, cheating, self defeating
crooked games are what theyīre playing
accusations forcing you to put defenses to rest
16. Greezy Wheezy (Hidden Track)
Grain whiskey on my breath
baby left ainīt feeling my best
slap of pork, can of greeze
couldīve been a worthy champeen
wheezy let it bleed wheezy let it bleed
wheezy let it bleed greazy wheezy
grain whiskey soaks my brain
shickhaus baby ease the pain
roll of nickles on the back of my neck
shit in your sisters fuck let it bleed
