Treason
02:59
|

I'll start it, regarded, as the initiator
Rejected, deflect it, got set off by a word
Heat rising, chastising, I think its blood that I taste
Surmising, comprising, of everything I've faced
Nowhere to go, but up from here!
You know I need the war, my conflict isn't tired
I don't know what it's for, but now I feel inspired
I send words to the line, attacking for no reason
Flanking on either side, cause I commit the treason
Blindsided, reminded, I did not choose the way
Reacted, redact it, most everything I say
I failed to, regale you, the way I should have done
No movement, improvement, I’m not the only one
Nowhere to go, but up from here!
You know I need the war, my conflict isn't tired
I don't know what it's for, but now I feel inspired
I send words to the line, attacking for no reason
Flanking on either side, cause...
I never win the argument
Served a term but I never meant
All the hurt and disrespect
Or the weak ass compliment (repeat all)
You know I need the war, my conflict isn't tired
I don't know what it's for, but now I feel inspired
I send words to the line, attacking for no reason
Flanking on either side, cause I commit the....
You know I need the war, my conflict isn't tired
I don't know what it's for, but now I feel inspired
I send words to the line, attacking for no reason
Flanking on either side, cause I...

Failure
04:01
|
|||
1, 2, 3, Go!
Inadequate, even if they like me
Think I'll never fit, like ‘em I could never be
Never fail to fail at everything I try
Got me wondering if there is a why
Do I stand here with my stupid song?
Hoping everyone'll maybe sing along
But there's a certain bit that plays in my mind
And it's the same voice, every time
You can't do this
Cause I'm a failure, in my head
But I never, wanna be led
Down a path that, I didn't choose
Even if that, means I lose, means I lose
I can blame whatever that I want to
That's another thing I think I already do
Is it me responsible at all?
For the feeling of crashing in the wall?
Maybe it's something I got from my father
I gotta wonder why he never even bothered
To give me a swift kick in the ass
The only lesson heard from his class, was
You can't do this
Now I'm a failure, in my head
But I never, wanna be led
Down a path that, I didn't choose
Even if that, means I lose, means I lose, means I lose
Maybe my father didn't learn from his father
But he was always nicer to my little brother
Now I'm a failure, in my head, but I never, wanna be...
Now I'm a failure, in my head
But I never, wanna be led
Down a path that, I didn't choose
Even if that, means I lose, means I lose, means I lose
I’m a failure! Am I a failure?! I’m a failure! Am I a failure?!

The Costco Song
04:01
|
|||
I don’t have to use my blinker
I don’t have to let you know I’m about to turn
Some other, direction
The way I drive, is cause for concern
I spin my tires in the parking lot
Just because, I like to smell ‘em burn
But on the endless commute to your job
If you follow me, you’ll be late for work
I hate traffic more than you do
I don’t believe, in zipper lanes
I just wanna get where I’m going
Get out of my way
I take two spots at Costco
The ones right up, by the front door
But don’t worry, there’s more I can do
To piss you off, just a little bit more
Like when I walk out with my groceries
And I stroll down the middle of the road
As I hold up, all the traffic
The look on your face, is solid gold
I hate traffic more than you do
I don’t believe, in zipper lanes
I just wanna get where I’m going
Get out of my way
Out of my way
Sometime today
What do you say?
And the last thing that I’ll mention
This is the last, thing I’ll say
Don’t pace the car to the right of you
When you’re driving, in the fast lane

Sedition
02:58
|
|||
Go!
I know I instigate
Don't have minute to contemplate
Gotta burn it down
Too much on the plate
It’s not a thing you can delegate
Burn it to the ground
I'm fully aware (gonna go, gonna go down)
What I declare (gonna go, gonna go down)
Said it wasn't right (gonna go, gonna go down)
It's, time, to fight
Conviction / Conscription
Join us in this phase
Rendition / Sedition
Not just a phrase
Yeah, we'll support the cause
Gonna keep answering all the calls
We'll lead the way
Tearing down the walls
Keep on pushing until it falls
Gotta make them pay
I'm fully aware (gonna go, gonna go down)
What I declare (gonna go, gonna go down)
Said this wasn't right (gonna go, gonna go down)
Said, it's time, to fight
It's time to stand up
It’s time to do what's right
Go on, put your hands up
If you're ready to fight
Why you always gotta be doing what you're told? (Repeat X3)
Why you always gotta be......Go!

Oblivion
03:16
|

Tuesday was pretty alright
The sky was clear, the clouds were near
But they kept themselves away
My nose was clean, since 23
Made it through another day
With a broken lace, and a broken face
A head, that wasn’t right
Man, I was trying hard not to fade
Into oblivion, let’s burn the sun
Delirium, don’t know why I feel so numb
Oblivion, the only one
Not having fun, where’s this feeling coming from
Made it to another night
Walking down the street, take a look a see
The writing on the wall
Who put it there, does anybody care?
Do we ever listen at all?
To the ones before, who we all adore
Who were trying to set things right
Man, I’m trying hard not to fade
Into oblivion, let’s burn the sun
Delirium, don’t know why I feel so numb
Oblivion, the only one
Not having fun, where’s this feeling coming from
Made it to another daylight
With a mind that’s clear, living out a fear
That I fight to keep at bay
Sun is in my eyes, making me blind
Let it take the sight away
Of the ugly face, of this ugly place
That we call life
Man, there’s no way I will fade
Into oblivion, let’s burn the sun
Delirium, don’t know why I feel so numb
Oblivion, the only one
Not having fun, where’s this feeling coming from

Negative Nancy
She’ll keep ya guessing
Don’t even waste your time
Feeling sorry for her
She started her own war
Steps on her own landmine
She’ll find the wrong, in every right
She’ll find the darkness, in every light
She will always be the one who brings you
Down, down, down
When she’s around
Her joy is truant
Blue and indignant
Even good times bring the hurt
Kind ain’t her talent
Nor is self-improvement
For a girl she’s a fucking jerk
She’ll find the wrong, in every right
She’ll find the darkness, in every light
She will always be the one who brings you
Down, down, down…. down
When she’s around (X4)

So Perfect
03:14
|

Don’t wanna keep changing the channel
Don’t wanna keep up with the cattle
Don’t wanna keep my old point of view….of you
Keep chasing that next tomorrow
Keep chasing the time I borrow
Keep chasing another busted tooth….from you
Cause you don’t like what I have to say
You don’t like my full ash tray
You don’t like my kind of truth….do you?
There’s a ton of things I don’t understand
A ton of things that I should have planned
There’s a ton of shit that I’ve been through….but so have you
How do you do
It all so perfect and go unchecked
By all the things that continue to get in my way
I will never be somebody like you
I will never be good enough to
Stand tall and plant my flag on the world….unfurled
But I wanna see you standing there
Wanna see you with purple hair
Wanna see your fist up in the air!
How do you do
It all so perfect and go unchecked
By all the things that continue to get in my way
I know I’ll lose (I know I’ll lose)
Cause how I choose (cause how I choose)
At least I’ll never be you

Let It Ride
03:32
|

Hey man, mind your level, you gotta go to work today
It’s four in the morning, you’ll sober up on the way
And while we are at it, we gotta talk about last night
And your tired habit of always picking a fight
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Are we gonna make it?
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Make it til we fake it
When patience is getting tried
And we trip along our stride
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Let’s let it ride, let it ride
Hey man, where you going? That’s your neighbor’s door
And as a matter of fact, this ain’t even your floor
And now you’ve lost your keys, maybe they’re at the bar
Let’s check one more time, they might be in the car
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Are we gonna make it?
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Make it til we fake it
When patience is getting tried
And we trip along our stride
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Let’s let it ride, let it ride
Hey man, mind your level, we still have a show to play
We gotta finish the set, or lose out on the pay
Just stay off the mic, and keep to your own side
Get the crowd bouncing around, and keep the band in time
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Are we gonna make it?
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Make it til we fake it
When patience is getting tried
And we trip along our stride
And I scream out to my gang, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Let’s let it ride

No More
02:49

Don’t know if I, can live another day
As the world around me slowly rots away
Doesn’t matter, a single thing I say
If no one around me hears it anyway
Hears it anyway
Don’t wanna be a bore
Don’t wanna be your whore
I don’t wanna do it anymore
Don’t wanna pick a fight
Just wanna do what’s right
Before there’s no more
No excuses, can’t make it up to me
I can’t tell you who, you ought to be
I’m not bothered, I’ll never bend a knee
To a media with its hypocrisy
Hypocrisy
Don’t wanna be a bore
Don’t wanna be your whore
I don’t wanna do it anymore
Don’t wanna pick a fight
Just wanna do what’s right
Before there’s no more
No more

We're Not OK
03:11
|
|||
This song is for the broken hearted
Who’ve been beat down, cast out, discarded
Left out in the cold
For not doing what they’re told
And now some are mad at them for being fucked up
And won’t even share a sip from their cup
I’m here to say you're not alone
Or out here on your own
I hope this, keeps you awake
I know this
We’re not OK, and that’s OK (X4)
“We” ain’t the same as you and me
Gonna have our own philosophy
For the way we want to live
And the shit we can forgive
We’ve all got problems, maybe more than some
But being held down by anyone
Is never gonna be alright
How do you sleep at night?
I hope this, keeps you awake
I know this
We’re not OK, and that’s OK (X4)
I hope this, keeps you awake
I know this
We’re not OK, and that’s OK (X4)
We’re not OK, and that’s OK (X3)
(This song is for the broken hearted) (X4)
