This Is How It Goes

Every body is tired and poor and sick of trying!
If you see me on a corner will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what we've become, nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on postcard picture perfect, I don't want it!

So I hold my breath till my heart explodes,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!

Shitty weather, bad timing, lucky penny glues to the ground,
dirty look from total stranger, hope you get lost and your not found!
Take a look at, what we've become, nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on postcard picture perfect, I don't want it!

So I hold my breath till my heart explodes,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!

This is, how it, it goes!

So unscrew my head, and then rinse it out,
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts!

So I hold my breath till my heart explodes,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul,
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!

Living In The Shadow

Constant quick fixes, don't make no sense
Hop on bandwagons, you make me sick

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight!
When you're living in the shadows

Distant loud chuckles, keep me awake
Awkward in stances won't make you hip

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight!
When you're living in the shadows

We've said this all before, your shadows at the door,
We've said this all before, your shadows at the door,
There's darkness in the hall and we won't take the fall!

Don't you tell me, what you think is right
when your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
when you're living in the shadows

Try Honesty

I tripped, fell down naked
I scratched my knees they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game, there is no score!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

Insane assault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small!

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!

Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?

Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

Line & Sinker

What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

Today I don't feel pretty,
and I'm tired of trying to fit right in,
don't think that your so great, cause being great must suck!

We don't always see the bright side,
we all need ego suicide,
you hung my ID today, but I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...

What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

My heart is in the right place,
so wipe that smirk right off your face,
don't make me feel like that, cause that's just plain not nice!

We don't always see the bright side,
and I lied when I said I was fine,
you slapped my face today but, I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...

What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me, and now my fortune cookie's empty!

What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

Lies

Forced conversation, hidden agenda, you think we're stupid how dare you!
The rug has not been pulled over our eyes you fool, we can see right through!

Tip toeing villain, eyes in the ceiling, your false intentions have worn thin...
But we've been in your room and in your closet too, we've got one on you!

Lies...make it better
Lies...are forever
Lies...to go home to
Lies...to wake up to
Lies...from the alter
Lies...make you falter
Lies...keep your mouth fed
Lies...till your death bed...lies

Inside an office, a fallen angel, a smiling Buddha with snake eyes,
Creates the latest trends, and I just can't pretend, don't call me your friend!

Lies...make it better
Lies...are forever
Lies...to go home to
Lies...to wake up to
Lies...from the alter
Lies...make ya falter
Lies...keep your mouth fed
Lies...till your death bed...lies

Lies will come back to hunt you...bullet proof your limousine
Lies will come back to hunt you...hit and run a broken dream!

Lies...make it better
Lies...are forever
Lies...to go home to
Lies...to wake up to
Lies...from the alter
Lies...make ya falter
Lies...keep your mouth fed
Lies...till your death bed...lies

The Ex

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

River Below

Rejected...since day one
My name is...bastard son
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count!
Blue collar...working man
Devises...masterplan
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm

I'm sick and I'm twisted, I'm broken you can't fix it, don't make me
cause I'll do it, red button and we'll all go...

Into the river below...running from the inferno...
You'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down!
Tick-tocking...times up now
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never had nobody!


I'm sick and I'm twisted, I'm broken you can't fix it, don't make me
cause I'll do it, red button and we'll all go...

Into the river below...running from the inferno...
You'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame

Standing In The Rain

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
My looks and smile have now become my curse,
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street,
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye ?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins!

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
No sun, my room has now become my hearse,
Cold sores, I'm beat got bruises on my feet,
My pride, these men have taken it from me!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye ?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye ?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby, mother I have lost my way

Cut The Curtains

My girl, you're so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now the disco has finally grown old
Let's buy back our souls

So let's see, we've got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we

Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own

Now here, seems our wax wings have melted away
And we've only been here for one day
My faith fades away

So don't be, a gray cloud when there's none in the sky
We found there's no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried

Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold

There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out

Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold

We don't have no time to fold

Prisoners Of Today

I never bite off more than I can chew but then she came and bit me,
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg,
She said "don't wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it was Sunday!"
"The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I'm a freak but..."

We're breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!

My body is tired my souls excited and I wish that I was gifted,
My body is tired my souls excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said " I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just like it left me"
"The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and that's the truth now..."

We're breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!

When there's no time for one another ?

Cause this is our time and our place...
History I can't erase!

We're breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!

When there's no time for one another ?
There's no time for one another ?

Nothing To Lose

Need more friends with wings,
All the angels I know put concrete in my veins
I'd always walk home alone,
So I became lifeless just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare,
I'd have to check my mirror to see if I'm still here
My parents had no clue,
That I ate all my lunches alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain

Teacher said it's just a phase,
When I grow up, my children will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease,
Who'd know it put me underground and age 17

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain

Voices Of Violence

Don't wait for, a knight in shining armour
Your savior's, reflected in the mirror
These flowers, have grown from bloodstains on the ground!

Go rake the, leaves of your grass and my grave
The fact is, everyone bleeds when they shave
There's no use, so don't deny we're just the same!

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence

These cowboys, will ride off in the sunset
Once their toys, have turned another profit
Back fire, their smoking guns will never rest!

Unleash the, skeletons from the closet
These strangers, are friends that you never met
They'll send them, sympathies with a hallmark card

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence

Even after I'm dead and buried, I'll still remember
Even after I'm dead and buried, I'll come back fighting!

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence

Voices of violence will always be heard
