Surface burn

War …Beyond belief
Elemental breaking of a new day
Sore …baton beatings
Fundamentals of manipulating me
Fire …raining down
Consequences of your actions
Spite …the real truth
I can’t begin to fade

Dead is better than this pain I feel, everything is better numb, life support is pulled, you lucky fuck (4x’s)

Fuck anything…

Time …suck sanctity
You wait until the pinch point
Force …relentless
I wait until the last becomes the last
Broke …the artery
I wipe the surface to reclaim my dignity
Pain …the ecstasy
We have all become diseased

Chorus (4x’s)

Fuck Everything…

(I paint the sky
As all the martyrs before me
I ask the father
‘Why have you forsaken me?’
I get no answer
And the stars don’t move
I will not sacrifice
To understand this question)

The end arrives
It makes the words seem cheap
My soul decides
“ I do my own self-cleaning”
Identify
This is the moral answer
To purify
All existence!!

Sour… the feeding
The holy ground is used for footholds
Heal… my insides
From the # of bleeding scars
Sear… the flesh ling
The burning smell of intoxication
Tear… the fabric
The system is a fault line

Chorus (4x’s)

FUCK EVERYTHING (4x’s)

Dry Cell

I won’t be lied to
You lie to me
Every time
I will become what I fear in me
Over time
Use me, abuse me, you lose me
Thrust - fade away
Render me useless
No use for me
Now!!!!

Flicker away
Fade away
It’s not my time to die
Burning within
Blistering
It’s not that hard to find
This ritual
Within my head
Is breaking my will to live
I see the end
I reach to it
It slips away again

Realize I’m not self-assured
You use it against me to suck me dry
Lamb of god, your illusion is blind
To wide open bleeding eyes
Parasite, unsymbiotic need
I’m bled to the bone till it turns to stone
Serving a purpose to keep you alive
Replacing my life with a battery….

You’re my sacrifice 4xs

Give and I give ‘til it hurts to relive
Taper and trim all the excess within
Tainted and painted, I’m bleeding in sin
Broken in places no ones ever been
(Chorus1)

(Chorus2)

(Chorus3)

Closed Mind – Open Casket

Witness heresy – scripted fantasy
Force-fed to believe – all you’re let to see
Open book to read – fruit of poisoned tree
Eat and you will breed – inbred bondage creed

WALK – in their shadow
Into your own – SELF-MADE HELL
WALK – above the pulpit
To be your own – SELF-MADE MAN!!

A CLOSED MIND TO OPEN CASKET
I WON’T BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
THAT I CAN’T REACH AND TOUCH MYSELF
WITH THINE OWN EYES, YOU SEE THE TRUTH

Preface entropy – draining energy
Blood feud travesty – killing war machine
Jihad prophesy – terror running free
Following will feed – this reality

PRE

CHORUS

RUN AWAY!!!!…. DON’T RUN AWAY!!!
THIS RESPIRATOR’S STILL KEEPING YOU ALIVE (REPEAT4X’S)(JERAD SCREAM)
BREATHE YOUR OWN AIR!!! (REPEAT4X’S)

Trying endlessly – (to) sink the knife in me
Trappings of belief – wallow (in) this disease
Working aimlessly – lose your sanity
Drop your vanity – kill what you believe!!

PRE

CHORUS

HATRED

HATE INSIDE OF ME…(4x’s)

HATE- you so neurotic
- You so exotic
- You fiend the needle
- Makes better friends of (us)
- You soul desire
- This sewn in fire
- Me broken liar
- Makes ultra-violence

Wonder what to do
Wonder what went wrong
See/feel the way I was/do
Don’t belong this way

HATE- me for dishonor
- Me blame the father
- It sickens in me
- This smashing my face
- Life in denial
- Us put on trial
- Infecting my art
- Is everything now

(Chorus)

Skewered mind, altered state
Never wrong again, do it again (2x’s)
I can’t feel this way, never wrong again (2x’s)

Tapped the vein (hate inside of)
Break the mold (fear inside of)
Feed the pain (pain inside of)
Will be heard (hatred side of ME)

(Chorus 2x’s)

HATE


10-YEAR BITCH

Metaphoric insulation
Hidden inside indignation
Motion down a spiraled nothing
Conscious cry for something real
Moving forward, backward
Caught in the undertow
This is my plea
10-year bitch
Moving backward, forward
Drown in the undertow
This is my plea
10-year bitch
Living out a borrowed mindset
Thinking out in borrowed time
Motion down that spiral nothing
Is this what I really need

Chorus

10-year bitch!!

All of the pieces together formulate nothing, all of the times that you lie to yourself negate (2x’s)

All of the jealousy erodes your soul and in all of the thoughts that you will always know

All of the things that I am and will see are all of the things that you will never be (2x’s)

Never be, you fuck!!
Never be!!!
2nd verse
Chorus
All of the jealousy erodes your soul and in all of the thoughts that you will always know
All of the things that I am and will see are all of the things that you will never be
Never be, you fuck!!!
Never be!!!!
10-year bitch (4x’s)

Root Of Evil

Whoa, yeah!!!
You want this…
You need this…
Throw yourself at me
I want you…
To feel me…
It brings the evil…in me!!

You drown yourself, to make it easier
ROOT OF EVIL lay your hands down
I rape your eyes, I make you easier
ROOT OF EVIL let your walls down

I see you…
You’re needing…
It’s all you’ve come to know
I feel you…
You’re seething…
It’s all I’ve come to be…in me!!!

(Chorus)

You let me inside yourself!!!
Open this…
Just for me…
I know what I’ve done…
I’ve corrupted you!!!

Corrupted you (2x’s) (MILLER SOLO)
I’ve seen you…
You’re bleeding…
The pain, it comes alive
Tomorrow…
You’ll see me…
In someone else’s eyes…that’s me!!!

(Chorus)

You let me in!!!


Treachery In Adoration

Every moment
I feel alive, awake when I’m with you
Melting over
Blind will be my heart
(You) Are my savior
All my faith and trust I put in you
Never question
The things just don’t seem right

ONE SIMPLE FACT YOU KNOW (YOU LIE)
I’LL CUT THIS CANCER RIGHT FROM MY HEART
YOU TELL ME ONE THING THAN (YOU LIE)
I’D RATHER DIE THAN BE YOUR FOOL

It’s alarming
The way I feel when I’m alone with you
I’m pretending
I’m not in love with you
You depend on
The way I get to make you feel inside
I’m descending
The road that lead to death

(CHORUS)

KILL ME!!!
I’LL MURDER LOVE FOR PAIN INSIDE
YOU’VE BEEN TRYING MY NERVES WITH THIS GAME
I’VE SEEN THE SNAKE WITHIN YOUR EYES
OPEN CHEST WOUND SPILLING OUT MY HEART
I’M NOT THE ONE TO BLAME FOR THIS
YOU DESERVE THE BLOOD AND SUFFERING
I’M THE GOD YOU WORSHIP NOW
I HOLD YOUR FATE AND LIFE IN MY HANDS
IN MY HANDS…..

I’ve been trying
To build a trust and honesty with you
On the inside
My heart and soul to you
Dedicated
I would sacrifice myself for you
I can’t help this
With who I’d fall in love

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS 2)

Omle

Interrupted

“ …. Life is but a dream, every moment another scene… I’m staring at your seam, and it’s just to hear you…”

SCREAM!!!

Nothing- is yours, is mine, is all up to this,
In mind, I find another fiend
In me, I see, the key, to open the life, the love, everything close to me
If I could be myself, I wonder would I commit to live a life free?

To be in me the key to open my mind, deride, I fall to my knees (ZIMMY SCREAMS)
There’s nothing left to say,
I’ve nothing left to say,
These words will make me pay

This might be the day (2x’s)

Inside, my mind, divide, is tearing my soul, control I see slip away
Today, I stay, I pray, to live through this day, deface, in spite of dismay
If I could be myself, I wonder would I commit to live a life free?
To be in me the key, the things that you stole and hid away from me!! (ZIMMY SCREAMS)

(Chorus)
I kill everything, I love
Inside of me
I wait, and pray
For my decay
Of you and me
It’s all o.k.
IT’S NOT ALL O.K.!!
O.K.?? (4x)

So now, I fight, my mind, is tearing my soul, control I see slip away
In me, I see, the three that dictate my life, my love everything close to me
If I could speak myself, I wonder would I still have anything left to say
To be in me the key, to open my life, the love, everything you killed in me!! (ZIMMY SCREAMS)(Chorus)

REBUILD

Pain of life
Suffering
With these hands I’ll wipe away the blood
From my eyes
I have seen
Withered dreams, Shattered pieces of
All our hopes
And our fears
Come to life, Manifests itself here
I hear
In my mind
Inner voice, Comforts me as I die

Rebuild (3x’s)

Remove the sight

(Repeat)

Rebuild life

Rebuild us

Broken homes
Broken hearts
Torment lives, but we all will stand strong
Stand tall
No remorse
No regret, for we know who we are
Believe
In yourself
Fuck the rest, open up your mind
No more hate
No more lies
No more lines, we will all become one

Save our lives – weren’t meant to live in pain
Save our minds – sickened by all the games
Take our eyes – this is what you create
See the light – before it’s all too late
Before it’s all too late

No more (2x’s)

We must

(Chorus)
