2. (SIC)


Enemy - Show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I canīt handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Donīt you fuckinī pity me
Get up, get off...
What the hell am I sayinī?
I donīt know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! FUCK YOU ALL!
Get a grip, donīt let me slip ītil I drop the ball

I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, Iīm sick of it
Youīre goinī down, this is a war!

Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted
state of mind?
Youīre leavinī me suspect - Iīm leavinī you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass - SUFFER!

I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, Iīm sick of it
Youīre goinī down, this is a war!
Iīve just begun
Itīs about that time
Gotta get mine

YOU CANīT KILL ME
CUZ IīM ALREADY
INSIDE YOU

SICK



3. Eyeless


Insane - Am I the only muthafucker with a brain?
Iīm hearing voices but all they do is complain
How many times have you wanted to kill
Everything and everyone - Say youīll do it but never will

You canīt see California without Marlon Brandoīs eyes

I am my Fatherīs son
Heīs a phantom, a mystery and that leaves me
NOTHING!
How many times have you wanted to die?
Itīs too late for me. All you have to do is get rid of me!

You canīt see California without Marlon Brandoīs eyes

Itīs all in your head
Itīs all in my head
Itīs all in your head

I tried - You lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go, thereīs a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesnīt matter if I give a shit
Itīs shit that you gave me

You canīt see California without Marlon Brandoīs eyes

Itīs all in your head
Itīs all in my head
Itīs all in your head

Do you wanna feel pain? Takinī my name in vain
Caring never felt so lame inside
Anybody else got pride? Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe Iīll reverse my ride
Who the hell are you? FUCK YOU!
Better suck it up cuz you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me!

I feel safe - Seems your saved

LOOK ME IN MY BRAND NEW EYE



4. Wait & Bleed


Iīve felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you canīt see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

Goodbye!

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I CANīT CONTROL MY SHAKES!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didnīt like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DONīT NEED THIS!
Why I didnīt I see this?
Iīm a victim - Manchurian Candidate
I - HAVE - SINNED - BY - JUST
Makinī my mind up and takinī your breath away

GOODBYE!

You havenīt learned a thing
I havenīt changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free

Iīve felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you canīt see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!



5. Surfacing


unning out of ways to run
I canīt see, I canīt be
Over and over and under my skin
All this attention is DOING ME IN!

FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS WORLD!
FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR!
DONīT BELONG! DONīT EXIST!
DONīT GIVE ME A SHIT!
DONīT EVER JUDGE ME!

Picking through the parts exposed
Taking shape, taking shag
Over and over and under my skin
All this momentum is DOING ME IN!

FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS WORLD!
FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR!
DONīT BELONG! DONīT EXIST!
DONīT GIVE A SHIT!
DONīT EVER JUDGE ME!

You got all my love, livinī in your own hate
Drippinī hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nuthinī, but I ainīt holdinī back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ainīt a fuck thing you can do
Get this cuz youīre never gonna get me
I am the very disease you pretend to be

I am the push that makes you move



6. Spit it out


Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe itīs time you had the tables turned
Cuz in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty...

...MAN NEARLY KILLED ME
Steppinī where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll - you were DEAD FROM THE GIT-GO!
BIG MOUTH FUCKER - STUPID COCKSUCKER
Are you scared of me now? Then youīre dumber than I thought
Always is, never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me, Iīll smear ya -Think I fear ya? BULLSHIT!
Just another dumb punk chompinī at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
Itīs gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, Literal Profanity HIT ME!

SPIT - IT OUT
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

Maybe itīs the way you spread a lotta rumour fodder
Keepinī all your little spies and leavinī when you realise
Step up, fairy
I guess itīs time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome
You heard me right, bitch, I didnīt stutter
If you know whatīs good - sit, shut up and beg, brother
Backstab - Donīt you know who youīre dissinī?
Side swipe - we know THE ASS THAT YOUīRE KISSINī!
BIGIDY-BIGGIDY BITCH BOY, HALFWAY HAUSER
Canīt hear shit cuz I keep gettinī louder
Step up, and you get a face full oī tactic
Lippinī off hard, goinī home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no NUTHINī
Now you start shit? Well, ainīt that somethinī?
Payoffs donīt protect, and you canīt hide if you want
But IīLL FIND YOU - Cominī up behind you!

SPIT - IT OUT
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

īBout time I set this record straight
All the needlenose punchinī is makinī me irate
Sick oī my bitchinī fallinī on deaf ears
Where YOU gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools, and all the politix
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got DICK when they passed out the good stuff
Bam
Are you sick of me? GOOD ENOUGH - HAD ENOUGH

FUCK ME! Iīm all out of enemies!
FUCK ME! Iīm all out of enemas!

SPIT - IT OUT
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out



7. Tattered & Torn


Kill Me
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning down
Tattered and torn
And I canīt find a window

Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic

Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
The nerves you sever
Tattered and torn
Can serve you better

Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons

Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!



8. Me inside


Inside!

Giving into what has got me
Bleeding, claustrophobic, scarred
Severed me from all emotion
Life is just too fucking hard
SNAP! Your face was all it took
Cuz this need ainīt doinī me no good
Fall on my face, but canīt you see?
This fucking life is killing me!

Tearing me / INSIDE

Too far gone, Iīm catatonic
Leaving you to criticize
Empty shell and running naked
All alone, lobotomized
Back and forth between my hang-ups
It isnīt easy to be hated
Where do ya go? What do ya do?
Simpleton, impromptu - crazy eight
I never cared - not once - gotta get away

Tearing me / INSIDE

I wasnīt promised anything
You keep mocking me
But you will never again
Before you know it - after youīre gone

GONE

Somos feos apestamos y pero reinamos joto muthafucka



9. Liberate


Liberate - My madness
(One of me, all of you)
Liberate - My madness
I just want to...

Section off myself
Put a wall up/What the hell have I done
Keep the dog at bay
Survive by saving me!
Values and the game
Not a fuck-up - Not a part of your lie
I am one, I am all - Iīm above and beyond!

Back off of the shit
Stand off or Iīll spit
So soft, you forget
Your garbage in is garbage out
You donīt give a shit
I wonīt play the fit
Get off, get on this
Your garbage in is garbage out

Liberate my madness...

Liberate - My madness
(One of me, all of you)
Liberate - My madness
I just want to...

I am not ashamed
What is vital, isnīt always humane
You can break in vain
But you canīt break away
Even in my face
Lotta bullshit, not alotta the truth
I canīt see from here
But I can smell your fear

Back off of the shit
Stand off or Iīll spit
So soft, you forget
Your garbage in is garbage out
You donīt give a shit
I wonīt play the fit
Get off, get on this
Your garbage in is garbage out

Saved - Youīre such a slave - I donīt expect a
Name - You donīt care - I wasnīt witness -
I canīt be a part of a system such as this
Hard eyes - Glow right - In my - Darkness - Again
With the sickness, rengade blisters, sisters,
Salivate, litigate, liberate, madness, sadness
Fuck this - How long have I had this?
I donīt need this - Outta my business
Insert, engage, betrayed, MY GOD
FRAUD

Liberate - My madness
(One of me, all of you)
Liberate - My madness
I just want to...



10. Prosthetics


Even if you run... I will find you
I decided I wanted you
Now I know...I NEED
If you canīt be bought, tougher than I thought
Keep in mind - I am with you
Never left out fate, canīt concentrate
Even if you run...

YOU WILL BE MINE!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!

I FOUND YOU

Leaninī out of an open window
You laughed (my fingers clenched)
Too perfect, far too careless
I couldnīt help myself - I just took you

DAMMIT MAN I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE (You brought it outta me)

Better make yourself at home
Youīre here to stay
You wonīt bother me...If you let me bother you
All the doors are locked, all the windows shut
KEEP IN MIND - I watch you
Never leave my side, never leave me, fucker
Even if you run

What the fuck is different? Man, I canīt believe Iīm doinī this

DAMMIT MAN I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE (You brought it outta me)



11. No Life


My freedom is best
Whole countryīs on house arrest
And everyoneīs a suspect
You canīt feel the flow because you died
Face down on a "suicide"
The muthafuckerīs on self-destruct
Nobody guardinī your back, itīs all a front
SAVE THIS! MY RAGE IS BLISS!
IīM TAKINī NAMES AND GETTINī PISSED!

Whereīs Chuck D when ya need him?
You ainīt shit, just a puddle on the
Bed spread
The maniac psycho
Cool j screamed the shit
But I still canīt believe it
Man, itīs funny that you scare me so
Just enough to fuck me up again and again
Hard life is hard as hell
Better back the fuck on up
Cuz this is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(Iīve got to get out!)
Itīs no kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(You canīt blame me!)

Canīt be real no more - Your mask is skin and bone
Savor every flavor you want cuz itīs not your own
Bad-ass at bat, man
Forget about the battle, itīs the war we gotta win
Breathe! Amer-cult, Breathe! One more - Seethe!
Freak like you gotta pair
Wonīt be my fault
When youīre painted in the corner of a no-good life
This is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(Iīve got to get out!)
Itīs no kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(You canīt blame me!)

I canīt remember, I donīt understand,
Is it malice that makes you this way?
Carry it with you ītil someone forgives you
I laugh cuz thereīs nothing to say
YOU CANīT BEGIN TO CONSIDER THE
PALPABLE HATE IN THE AIR WHEN YOUīRE HERE
None of us wonder what weather youīre under
Youīre making it perfectly clear!

Lights ainīt on - shit ainīt right
Never had peace so I had to fight
Can you look in my eyes when my backīs against
The wall, slash at my eyes, surprise, youīll never get me
Youīre all reality and sound bites
And the freedom is never in plain sight
The feelings, the question, the price is too
Human, for fucking sake - This is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(Iīve got to get out!)
Itīs no kind of life! This is no kind of life!
(You canīt blame me!)



12. Diluted


Iīm cold, Iīm ugly
Iīm always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie

It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes
My heros are dead, they died in my head
Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again

Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today, forget whatever happened
Everyday I see a little more of overall deficiencies
Iīm nothing short of being one complete catastrophe

What the hell - did I - do to deserve - all of this?

I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens
I decrease, while my symptoms increase

God what the fuck is wrong
You act like you knew it all along
Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing

All I ever wanted out of you was
something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What youīve fucking done to me

Gimme any reason why Iīd need you, boy
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimme any reason why Iīd need you, bitch
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up

I see you in me

I keep my scars from prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe, Iīve got to have an answer

Why am I so fascinated by
bigger pictures, better things
But I donīt care what you think
Youīll never understand me



13. Only One


Pain - made to order

Iīm not the second coming, Iīm the first wave
Better get an army, cuz the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar Iīm the top of the shit pile
So stick around cuz Iīll get to you in just a few
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me, totalitarian
The one and only muthafucka, top of the world man

Cuz I canīt stand it, planned it, gonna crash land it
In other words, consider me branded
Another version of me, another version of you
Both barrels - what you gonna do?

All I hear is human noise
You made your own fuckinī choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry

I can over die over time
Filthy hands, stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch - death is fine, gimme mine

Only one of us walks away

Somebody explain this
You donīt care cuz you donīt exist
What the fuck is this another joke?
Reckoning!



14. Scissors


I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open...and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout

AS I LIE THERE
WITH MY TONGUE SPREAD WIDE OPEN
A BLACK WIDOW HAD OFFERED ME
A SWEETHEART TUBE
AS I INJECTED
THE CANDIED HEART THAT I SELECTED
She said donīt hesitate
JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!

Itīs hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just cuz I have nerves, donīt mean that I can feel
I wasnīt very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red CUZ I CANīT FEEL!

Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time...
Itīs time

IT IS - TIME




Eeyore

Meet the man that made me
Greet the can I came from
Oh the fucking sacred heart of Jesus
BLEW it in the back room
Feelinī like a real goon
Slam the fuck aside, man
IīM ON - YOUīRE NOT

I AM THE GREAT BIG MOUTH

Good riddance - though Iīm sad to say
I didnīt get to kill you
Rhetoric - Better look both ways
I gotta get an arm through
STAIN
What the fuck is up? Get the fuck away
Run if you want to
Innocent? Youīre a guilty conscience
Laugh last - break through
STAIN

Prepare you fucker

I donīt give a shit, bitch
I donīt give a fuck, bitch
I donīt understand, bitch
You donīt matter
I donīt give a fuck, man
I donīt give a shit, man
I donīt really care, man
Iīm the super sized man




Purity

Maze...psychopathic daze...I create this waste
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic
ways...canīt escape this place...I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think Iīm slowly dying

Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone hear me please, all I see is hate
I can hardly breathe, and I can hardly take it

HANDSONMYFACEOVERBEARINGICANīTGETOUT

Lost...ran at my own cost...hearing laughter, scoffed
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak...all around me, weak...listening, incomplete
I am not a dog, but Iīm the one your dogging

I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please, losing all reserve
I am fucking gone, I think Iīm fucking dying

You all stare, but youīll never see
There is something inside me
There is something in you I despise

Cut me - show me - enter - I am
willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase?
Empathy, out of my way
I canīt die

Purity
