I seem to get sick inside Like something up inside me died Days in bed as I fuckin hide The lies of life are upon me Waves of the guilty shame I’m feeling trapped in my lonely brain Maybe alcohol will soothe my pain The lies of life are upon me Slap a fake smile on my face I’m just a loser in this human race Just a certified basket case The lies of life are upon me I know that you’re dreaming down again I know that you’re dreaming down Cause you won’t let anyone ‘round I know that you’re dreaming down again Don’t come around I’m dreaming down

A simple life in a simple time The basics are you make it so it’s alright If I said it once, then I meant it twice You break it off, you take it and it’s good night There’s no trace at all No I haven’t got a clue Now it's been a while but I gotta fly It's better when the oxygen is on high If I said it once, then I meant it twice No trace at all, I’m all alone, but I’m fine There’s no trace at all No I haven’t got a clue what you got into

Destructo 03:38
Seven circles into the sun On the run like the homeless masses It’s like walking on glass And every step we take cuts us down social classes It’s the price of admission It’s the price of a gun They call him Destructo He’s a real one When the price of admission is the price of a gun They call him Destructo He’s a real one These lies are easily spent With those who are content to swallow the lies The faith-filled blind follow freely into the fire And their demise It’s the price of admission It’s the price of a gun They call him Destructo He’s a real one When the price of admission is the price of a gun They call him Destructo He’s a real one Feckless leaders sell us out to the highest bidder All in the name of war

I Hate Fun 03:31
I swear to God I hate fun It's not even fuckin fun I swear to God I hate every one of you That’s why I got this fuckin gun Every time I stand, every time I sit Every time I piss, every time I shit I want you dead I swear to God I hate fun It's not really fuckin fun I swear to God I hate every one of you And I wanna see you fuckin run Every time you hide, every time you crawl Every time I blast, every time you fall I’m like aahhhh Right now the odds are against you Like the bodies pressed against you in my way

Dr. 9 03:31
Paging Dr. 9 Cause I don’t feel fine Paging Dr. 9 Cause I don’t feel Something’s out of line Paging Dr. 9 Paging Dr. 9 Cause I don’t feel fine Paging Dr. 9 Cause I don’t feel I’m running out of time Paging Dr. 9 I got a plan for the system I got a secret religion Now if I come up missing Maybe it's just the drugs I made a conscious decision I’m gonna follow my vision Well now if I come up missing I’m on a mission Maybe it's just the… Yea it's just the drugs
7.
Promises 05:28
We made a promise to uphold these truths Undignified job, undignified man They made a promise to destroy the proof Uncivilized life, uncivilized youth There was no promise to tell the truth Uncultured little man, uncultured little wife We made a promise to destroy your plan Undignified job, undignified man Promises, promises Dear elderly father Hallow be this game Your kingdom gone Your will is done On Earth, there is no heaven Promises, promises Dear heavenly father Hallow be thy game Thy kingdom’s gone Your will is done On Earth, there is no heaven
8.
I can feel the seasons slipping away The memories as well Hallways of hotels falling in you Pictures from hell I can see the layers ripping away My time is done Doorways to nowhere calling for you Stuck in a song The burden of sleep Sweet envy of death The end comes for the weak And we never rest I can see the reasons fading away The message is clear Buildings on fire falling for you The end is near I’m looking out for the sun It's coming up crystal clear I’m looking for everyone Everyone who comes around here I don’t mind anyone coming up to me with ideas But don’t negate the one who’s on I’m always on
