Everything starts with good intentions Everyone ends on their knees But you'll never doubt what they tell you 'Cause you never knew what to believe Everything starts with good intentions Everyone ends on their knees Guess we better just start things over... Always one more chance to take Always make the same mistakes We lick the sugar cube but We have lost our sense of taste Clouded vision and all you see Are flashing lights and pretty things Paralyze the weakest link Making sure you do nothing Do something, everything is ending Contraception and sustained highs Keeping us behind the lines We pray on bloody knees but We have lost our faith Maybe we should press rewind Could we do something this time Do something, everything is ending If we could start again Then this just has to end Got a finger on the pulse And it just stopped beating Everything starts with good intentions Everyone ends on their knees But you'll never doubt what they tell you 'Cause you never knew what to believe Everything starts with good intentions Everyone ends on their knees Guess we better just start things over... The flashing lights are all around me The clock is ticking but no one's counting I want to get out while I still can Do something, everything is ending

Living for future, set on the past This scene has been dead and this day is our last Her dream is to change everyone that she knows I bled for her scene and now I am all alone You've got to fight the odds and take it in Hate everyone who comes within Whether it's corrupt or innocent I can't find no comfort in any skin You're one step closer to reaching the edge Of the line that's drawn through these institutions Cause you look so good when you sell your sins And you find the comfort within the skin Paranoid complex, drugs in her brain Rounding in circles but staying the same She sees herself in such a manic depression She cuts herself because she needs the attention You've got to hide and please and spread disease Like a wildfire burning bridges and trees You're one step closer to reaching the edge Of the line that's drawn through these institutions Cause you look so good when you sell your sins And you find the comfort within the skin The ones you wronged, clip the wings off The ones you wronged, clip the wings off of you You're one step closer to reaching the edge Of the line that's drawn through these institutions Cause you look so good when you sell your sins And you find the comfort within the skin

Exorcise 04:03
Don't want to be exorcised or compromised For everything I know Don't want any alibis to compromise Everything that's shown As he walks along the edge He hears the words being said And he wonders how it ever got this way To be the one that has to see The way things just shouldn't be It's getting hard... See, why can't you see What's in my head No one knows what I know Be, why can't you be Just how I am No one's left Don't want to be exorcised or compromised For everything I know Don't want any alibis to compromise Everything that's shown As he walks along the edge He feels the ripping, piercing stares And he knows he can not last much longer here He screams so loud by no one hears They're so immersed in all their fears He knows it's wrong Don't want to be exorcised or compromised For everything I know Don't want any alibis to compromise Everything that's shown See, why can't you see What's in my head No one knows what I know Be, why can't you be Just how I am No one's left Don't want to be exorcised or compromised For everything I know Don't want any alibis to compromise Everything that's shown

Castaway 04:49
You're getting on an airplane That you know is gonna crash You pack your things cause likely You're never coming back Pack your feelings, your troubles, And all the things that make you part of me I'm crashing down with you I can't remember what I feel this for I can't remember what you take me for And I just care about you so deeply You know I'm bound to drown I can't remember Just how to feel at all I'm holding back your hair While you're laying on the ground If you knew how I feel about you You wouldn't want me around Cause I'm weak and so insecure and I want to just tear myself apart Get you out of my fucking heart I can't remember what I feel this for I can't remember what you take me for And I just care about you so deeply You know I'm bound to drown I can't remember Just how to feel at all I hope you're drowning, you're drowning like me You're standing on the shore line The sun is going down A castaway in a wasteland And you were not around I can't remember what I feel this for I can't remember what you take me for And I just care about you so deeply You know I'm bound to drown I can't remember Just how to feel at all

Go to Hell 05:14
Tied to a chair and the time bomb's ticking... You lie face against the ground And here's another round For telling me it all would be okay I've heard it all before Won't listen anymore Now it's time for a change of pace You saw what I had slippin' away And now you came and you took it from me Now I've got something to say You should go fuck yourself I believed it all but that was yesterday I took a chance and I don't have to stay Now I've got something to say You should all go to hell It's not like anything went how I planned It's not like anything has changed at all You said it was a chance to take But you're making all the same mistakes I'm the one you all have blamed But I won't be ashamed For telling you exactly how it seems You think you're fucking stars But don't know who you are We'll meet again when we're burning in hell It's not like anything went how I planned It's not like anything has changed at all You said it was a chance to take But you're making all the same mistakes Now we're gonna fucking take this Now we're gonna fucking tear you down And send your misery and jealousy to hell Tied to a chair and I'm a time bomb ticking away... You saw what I had slippin' away And now you came and you took it from me Now I've got something to say You should go fuck yourself I believed it all but that was yesterday I took a chance and I don't have to stay Now I've got something to say You should all go to hell It's not like anything went how I planned It's not like anything has changed at all You said it was a chance to take But you're making all the same mistakes Now we're gonna fucking take this Now we're gonna fucking tear you down And send your misery and jealousy to hell

We're not trying to sell a product We're not trying to sell a trend But you'll buy just what we tell you So you can impress all of your friends It's time to open your eyes and awake from this delusion...awake! We are not the American Idols We don't live in Laguna Beach We don't bow our heads to the dollar sign That our leaders wholeheartedly preach We are the product of an environment And the product of society That's hell bent and set to destroy itself Through religion and technology What ya gonna do? A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?) A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?) We're not slaves to a generation We don't practice what they teach We wont bow and pray for the liberties That our nations will never reach We are the product of our denial And the product of society That's hellbent on self medication While awaiting the catastrophe A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?) A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?) We are the virus in your ears The soundtrack to all deceit In a world and a nation Where the future seems to bleak Because we're living in a big lie No time left to pretend And the only thing left to imagine Is the inevitable end A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?) A malevolent nation (pick it up) A malevolent (whatcha gonna do?)
