"Critical Acclaim"



Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long

While you feed off others' insecurities

You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds



Self-righteousness is wearing thin

(Lies inside your head, your best friend)

Heart bleeds but not for fellow men

(Broken glass, your fake reflection)



I've had enough

It's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

A clone



So how does it feel to know that someone's kid

in the heart of America has blood on their hands

fighting to defend your rights

so you can maintain a lifestyle

that insults his family's existence

Well, where I'm from we have a special

salute that we aim high in the air

towards all those pompous assholes

who spend their days pointing fingers

(Fuck You)



Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long

I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy

collecting enemies



Tabloid gossip queen worthless man

(There's no need for us to bury you)

Selfish agenda once again

(Right this way you've dug your own grave)



I've had enough

It's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

A clone



All the way from the east to the west we

got this high society

looking down on their very foundation

constantly reminding us that our actions

are the cause of all their problems

Pointing their fingers in every

direction and blaming their

own nation for who wins the elections

They've never contributed a fucking thing to the

country they love to criticize



Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue

Depictions we see try and get through

Admitting mistakes can hurt

I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first



Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off



Self-righteousness is wearing thin

(Lies inside your head your best friend)

Heart bleeds but not for fellow men

(Broken glass your fake reflection)



I've had enough

It's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

A clone













"Almost Easy"



I feel insane every single time

I'm asked to compromise

Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways

And that's the way it stays

So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?

By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip



I'm not insane, I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane



(Mother)

Come back to me, it's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again, it's almost easy



Shame pulses through my heart

From the things I've done to you

It's hard to face, but the fact remains

That this is nothing new



I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories

Selfish beneath the skin

But deep inside I'm not insane.



I'm not insane, I'm not insane.

I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.



(Mother)

Come back to me, it's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again, it's almost easy

(You'll learn your lesson)

Come back to me, it's almost easy

(But first you fall)

Come back again, it's almost easy



Now that I've lost you it kills me to say

(Hurts to say)

I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away.

I'm losing the fight.

I've treated you so wrong, now let me make it right.

(Make it all right)



I'm not insane, I'm not insane. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.



(Mother)

Come back to me, it's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again, it's almost easy

(You'll learn your lesson)

Come back to me, it's almost easy

(But still you fall)

Come back again, it's almost easy



















"Scream"



Caught up in this madness too blind to see

Woke animal feelings in me

Took over my sense and I lost control

I'll taste your blood tonight



You know I make you wanna scream

You know I make you wanna run from me baby

but know it's too late you've wasted all your time



Relax while you're closing your eyes to me

So warm as I'm setting you free

With your arms by your side there's no struggling

Pleasure's all mine this time



You know I make you wanna scream

You know I make you wanna run from me baby

but know it's too late you've wasted all your time



Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream till there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

perishing



We've all had a time where we've lost control

We've all had our time to grow

I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right

I'll hunt again one night



You know I make you wanna scream

You know I make you wanna run from me baby

but know it's too late you've wasted all your time



Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream till there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

perishing



Some live repressing their instinctive feelings

Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me



Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would

if I ravaged your body

Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would

if I ravaged your mind



Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream till there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

perishing













"Afterlife"



Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen

so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste

of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway



I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right

Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be

Arrived too early



And when I think of all the places I just don't belong

I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far



I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife



'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here



A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain

Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste

of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway



This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)

No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)

So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign

I've made up my mind



Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye

Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life



I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might

take me back inside when the time is right



Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me

I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be

(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)

Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me

(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)



I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might

take me back inside when the time is right

















"Gunslinger"



Yeah, you've been alone

I've been gone for far too long

But with all that we've been through

After all this time I'm coming home to you



Never let it show

The pain I've grown to know

'Cause with all these things we do

It don't matter when I'm coming home to you



I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes

My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died

My prayers have made it through yeah

'Cause with all these things we do

It don't matter when I'm coming home to you



Letters keep me warm

Helped me through the storm

But with all that we've been through

After all this time I'm coming home to you



I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes

My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died

My prayers have made it through yeah

'Cause with all these things we do

It don't matter when I'm coming home to you



I've always been true

I've waited so long just to come hold you

I'm making it through

It's been far too long, we've proven our

love over time's so strong, in all that we do

The stars in the night, they lend me their light

to bring me closer to heaven with you



(Bring me closer)



But with all that we've been through

After all this time I'm coming home to you



I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes

My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died

My prayers have made it through yeah

'Cause with all these things we do

It don't matter when I'm coming home to you



And with all that we've been through

After all this time I'm coming home to you













"Unbound (The Wild Ride)"



Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should

it's hard to find, but that's alright yeah

Searching for the way, push harder everyday

It's deep inside, that shining light yeah

But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path

I'm scathed



This ride that takes me through life

Leads me into darkness but emerges into light

No one can ever slow me down

I'll stay unbound



Sometimes when we're young, and always on the run

It gets so dark and I know that place yeah

So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn

Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah

Don't fall off the track yet with so many races to go

Hold on



This ride that takes me through life

Leads me into darkness but emerges into light

No one can ever slow me down

I'll stay unbound



Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own

But living in fear, endless shame for countless years

I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day

I never viewed my life as something... slipping away



Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own

But living in fear, endless shame for countless years

I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day

I never viewed my life as something... slipping away



There's nothing here to take for granted

with each breath that we take

the hands of time strip youth from our bodies

And we fade

memories remain

as time goes on



There's nothing here to take for granted

with each breath that we take

the hands of time strip youth from our bodies

And we fade

memories remain

as time goes on















"Brompton Cocktail"



(Out of time...)

Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised)

and so dehumanized (and so dehumanized)

I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends

I need that shot to enter my vein

My Brompton Cocktail blend



'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong



I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong

in a lie...



I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria)

to help me move along (help me move along)

I wanna meet my maker in peace, I want to feel alive again

So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my friend



'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong



I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong

And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna

and leave how I arrived, so alive



I believe my sins they'll be forgiven

and I believe my choice will save me from this life

please don't question why

my sins they'll be forgotten

I believe I'll find peace in afterlife

please don't question why

I left this way



'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong



I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong

And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna

and leave how I arrived, so alive

(Alive)















"Lost"



Centuries passed and still the same

War in our blood, some things never change

Fighting for land and personal gain

better your life, justify our pain

The end is knocking

The end is knocking



We've all been lost for most of this life

(lost for most of this life)

Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us

And I know that most of us just ain't right

(most of us just ain't right)

Following the wrong steps, being led by pride



How many lives will we take

How many hearts destined to break

Nowhere to run, can't escape

Full of ourselves, tied to our fate

The end is knocking

The end is knocking, yeah



We've all been lost for most of this life

(lost for most of this life)

Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us

And I know that most of us just ain't right

(most of us just ain't right)

Following the wrong steps, being led by pride



With peace of mind so hard to find

We're dwelling on the drastic signs

Another way to numb our mind

And as you close your eyes tonight

and pray for a better life

you'll see it flying helplessly away



We've all been lost for most of this life

(lost for most of this life)

Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us

And I know that most of us just ain't right

(most of us just ain't right)

Following the wrong steps, being led by pride















"A Little Piece Of Heaven"



Before the story begins, is it such a sin,

for me to take what's mine, until the end of time

We were more than friends, before the story ends,

And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design



Our love had been so strong for far too long,

I was weak with fear that

something would go wrong,

before the possibilities came true,

I took all possibility from you



Almost laughed myself to tears,

(ha hahahahaha)

conjuring her deepest fears

(come here you fucking bitch)



Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,

I can't believe it,

Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,

Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it



She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping

now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in

it goes on and on and on,

I can keep you looking young and preserved forever,

with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever



’Cause I really always knew that my little crime

would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs

and I know, I know it's not your time

but bye, bye

and a word to the wise when the fire dies

you think it's over but it's just begun

but baby don't cry



You had my heart, at least for the most part

’cause everybody's gotta die sometime,

We fell apart, let's make a new start

’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah

but baby don't cry



Now possibilities I'd never considered,

are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,

Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,

to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved



Smiling right from ear to ear

Almost laughed herself to tears



Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times

I can't believe it

Ripped his heart out right before his eyes

Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it



Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways

I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave



I gotta make up for what I've done

’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven

while you burned in hell, no peace forever



’Cause I really always knew that my little crime

would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs

and I know, I know it's not your time

but bye, bye

and a word to the wise when the fire dies

you think it's over but it's just begun

but baby don't cry



You had my heart, at least for the most part

’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,

We fell apart, let's make a new start

’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah

But baby don't cry



I will suffer for so long

(What will you do, not long enough)

To make it up to you

(I pray to God that you do)

I'll do whatever you want me to do

(Well then I’ll grant you one chance) *

And if it's not enough

(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)

If it's not enough

(Not enough)

Try again

(Try again)

And again

(And again)

Over and over again



We’re coming back, coming back

We’ll live forever, live forever

Let’s have wedding, have a wedding

Let’s start the killing, start the killing



"Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?"

"Yes, I do"

"Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?"

"I do"

"I now pronounce you"



’Cause I really always knew that my little crime

would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs

and I know, I know it's not your time

but bye, bye

And a word to the wise when the fire dies

you think it's over but it's just begun

but baby don't cry



You had my heart, at least for the most part

’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime,

We fell apart, let's make a new start

’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah

But baby don't cry













"Dear God"



A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

While I recall all the words you spoke to me

Can't help but wish that I was there

Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah



Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

But I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again



There's nothing here for me on this barren road

There's no one here while the city sleeps

and all the shops are closed

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you

Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah



Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again



Some search, never finding a way

Before long, they waste away

I found you, something told me to stay

I gave in, to selfish ways

And how I miss someone to hold

when hope begins to fade...



A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find



Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around

when I'm much too far away

We all need the person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again
