I use to believe in something, now I'm not so sure
I wanna believe, I wanna believe, in something pure
Something I could rest the weight on, trust in your words
I wanna believe, I wanna believe, but I'm not that person anymore

The night is sneaking, like a thief running out of the door
A culture sinking to the depths, can we restore?
No use in speaking, I can't take it anymore
I just keep drinking, just keep sinking, 'til I'm floored
Hey Mr. DJ, I don't wanna dance to it anymore
I've been wasting my time, feet flat on the floor
Hey Mr. DJ, I don't wanna think about it anymore
Hey DJ leave us kids alone
The boredom's leaking, like the sweat coming out of my pores
The same old deck's been dealt again, can ya gimme some more?
No use in speaking, using words, just makes me sore
I just keep drinking, like I'm sinking, 'til I'm floored
Hey Mr. DJ, I don't wanna dance to it anymore
I've been dulling my mind, feet flat on the floor
Hey Mr. DJ, I don't wanna think about it anymore
Hey DJ leave us kids alone
We don't need no education
We don't need no though control
We don't want your shitty selections
We can find some other place to go
Some other place to go
Some other place to go

Sheets in the Wind

When the world falls apart, and time breaks your heart, and they'll
Never let you go, they'll never let you go
And the lines disappear, the feeling is fear, and they'll
Never let you go, they'll never let you go
The past is calling, tells you not to begin
But tomorrow's pulling, and you know it always wins
Life might be nothing but sheets in the wind
Tied to a line, everything changes
Dry your eyes
Surrender inside
As a new day rise
You're never gonna find if you
Stay in place
Life won't wait for you
They'll just replace
What ya got inside you
When you can't find the will, and life won't stand still, and they'll
Never let you go, they'll never let you go
When daggers draw near, the lines disappear and they'll
Never let you go, they'll never let you go
Yesterday's calling, tells you you can't win,
But the sharks just get closer, everyday you don't begin
Life might be nothing but sheets in the wind
Tied to a line, everything changes
Dry your eyes
Surrender inside
Watch a new day die
They won't even try
As they stay in place
Life won't wait for you
It'll just replace
It won't come to find you
How long will these feelings define you
And I don't wanna to wait
Those scars are just there to remind you
How much will you let them take

Retrace! cause I want to correct
All the misplaced words and poorly formed steps
That came, before all this regret
All these fucking moments I can't choke or repress
Those unspoken words
Thought I saw you mumble but I never really heard
Outside the structures you were referred
To some kind of miracle now that seems absurd
Don't know what I saw my eyes were blurred
Woke up the morning, felt what I deserve
Felt what I deserve
Shh!
Sshhh!
Guilty! of some kind of crime
You don't got the kind of stomach for this poison heart of mine
Discount on love, the kids left behind,
For the silence in the corner, the kind that you can't define
These streets filled with dread
Running from the moment, i'm running from my head
Dispatch the calls, the memory is dead
Do the dirty dishes, and burn the sheets of this bed
I'm the kind of thought better left unsaid
I'm the kind of book better left unread
Better left unread
Deeeaaadddd!
I'm the kind of thought better left unsaid
I'm the kind of book better left unread
Better left unread

Where did all beauty crawl up from?
And where will the misfits go?
Where did these bros learn about suffering?
And where will I go to get hope?
I don't know,
NO! I don't know
I look around, I'm in strange surroundings,
No longer a space of my own
The back of the room, is no longer sounding
Like back in the day, I guess I'll just stay home
I don't know,
NO! I don't know
I am alone in, a crowd that thinks they are alone
In a crowd that thinks, I am alone
I close my eyes, and breath in all this exile
I clench my fist, like I'll never let it go
I'll dance between all the blind and the hostile,
In broken fast time, the only dance that I know
I don't know,
NO! I don't know
I am alone in, a crowd that thinks they are alone
On a crowd that thinks, I am alone
Where do we go,
Where do we go,
Where do we go,
Where do we go,
Go, go, back to our home!

Destroy the Human Race

Night after night
I look to the stars, and ask myself in their light
What the hell is looking back at me?
With no love in their heart, undo my body, take me back to the start
Take us back to savagery
They come from outer space
Destroy the human race
They come from outer space
Destroy destroy
Day after day
With our fists in the air, they won't go away
Why the hell have they chosen me?
With no love in their blood, unchain my body, take me back to the flood
Take us back to savagery
They come from outer space
Destroy the human race
They come from outer space
Destroy destroy
Mother ship won't you call me home
Mother ship yeah you call me alone
Mother ship won't you call me home
Mother ship yeah
They come from outer space
Destroy the human race
They come from outer space
Destroy destroy destroy

You broken monster just behave
Jump through these hoops, dance in this cage
Just keep your feelings between the words
Gonna learn to roar without being heard
And I think that I come from a different age
And I think that I come from a different page
Pretty sure that I'm done for
Yeah I know that I'm played
Pretty sure that I'm done for
But I don't know how to change
I close my eyes and just pretend
That the bars between us will someday bend
A crowded room, the witness lies
With coded words and consensus eyes
And I think that I come from a different age
And I think that I come from a different page
Pretty sure that I'm done for
Don't want to complain
Pretty sure that I'm done for
Now and all I feel is shame

Dead in the Dirt

The back door you didn't lock it
I know your name (I got it) written in my pocket
Your life's a mine, I'm digging for quotes
Your words, you spoke
Your life's a mine, I’m digging myself a moat
I won't stop until you stay
Dead in the dirt, out of my way
There's no fire, but I’m calling it smoke
Your words, you spoke
There's no fire, there's a liar at the end of the rope
And I hope he chokes

Sing your song so close to their fire
Lost between the myths and the false signifiers
You are the smoke in our eyes before the money disappears
If our blood is their oil, then your words are the gears
Sometimes the words don't mean what they say
You sing them a song, and the wolves stay at bay
Sometimes the words don't mean what they say
Yeah you sing us a song
You're just a snake charmer, we are the fist, you are the armour
You're just some kind of snake charmer, we are the fist, you are the armour
Lock the doors and watch the smoke kiss the sky
Fan the flames as they burn, take control, then deny
You are the vulture in the dark, you the wolf herding sheep
Your words won't let go, they don't know release
Sometimes the words don't mean what they say
You sing them a song, and the wolves stay at bay
Sometimes the words don't mean what they say
Yeah you sing us a song
You're just a snake charmer, we are the fist, you are the armour
You're just some kind of snake charmer, we are the fist, you are the armour

These thoughts are like a prison to me
These doubts are so old they feel like a home
And you can't take, cause someone might see
The hunger in your lies, the fear in your tone
Held so tight to the words
That I don't know what they mean anymore
'til they tasted sour
Spat them out all over the floor
They don't make sense anymore
Yeah they don't make sense anymore
And I'm trying to remember how I can breath
With your knifes so close, sneaking up on me
Did you stumble? and now you can't leave
Cover the cuts so (no one can see/they'd leave you alone)
Held so tight to the words
That I don't know what they mean anymore
'til they tasted sour
Spat them out all over the floor
They don't make sense anymore
Yeah they don't make sense anymore

While we still breath
And our hearts still beat
In 4x4 time, with electric love,
To lies we believe
At the end of the song,
The lights came on,
And life was same, familiar taste,
Before too long
At the Bridge
There will be a toll
From these pieces
There will be a whole
Before this life spills
Out of control
All is one
All is all
Before you sleep
And the dealers cheat
The odds of this life, sounding like a song,
Coming back to keep
With your heroes gone,
Left with their songs,
You can't move on, the moment's gone
The time was seized,
At the Bridge
There will be a toll
From these pieces
There will be a whole
Before this life spills
Out of control
All is one
All is all
I can see the ropes they've used to tie you down
I can hear you calling, when you can't make a sound
I can be the noose, or I can be the crown
Can't you see we're falling, falling
At the Bridge
There will be a toll
From these pieces
There will be a whole
Before this life spills
Out of control
All is one
All is all
