CHOOSE YOUR FATE MASSACRE

Oh, this is a problem That'll stay with me till I RIP This is

a habit Drugs weren't made for an addict like me Close my casket Send me to my grave Bury me alive I don't deserve this I don't deserve this place I've medicated myself again I feel I'm killing my only friend I've torn this world asunder As I am slippin under I'm seeing double Everything is breaking away My heart is pounding Out my chest And punches my face So close my casket Put me in my grave Bury me alivevI don't deserve this I don't deserve this place Yeah, yeah I'm going insane Sane, sane, sane

ISSUES

This is the death of me I feel it constantly Just like an enemy

That wants to see me bleed So I try to be silent But my words they explode Like hand grenades I just gotta stay calm Before I let this time bomb Blow up in my face These issues Pin me to the floor These issues Are my overlord I feel so dominated These issues They choke me like a noose The hounds of hell, they cry Thats how they get to me Inject my head with lies The pains astonishing Like a brick or a stone Slowly crushing my bones Sending me to my grave And its such a fake This life that Ive made Im going insane

ZOMBIE DANCE Take the flesh from me Put it on display Weve got
mouths to feed Im sick of runnin away I cant believe my eyes Im terrified Night full of death And some say end of times Take a piece of me tonight And soon Ill be Comin, comin, comin for You, every time we touch Yeah you know you got me On pins and needles Oh its not about the lust Now you know you got me On pins and needles Were already dead I love the way that you bleed Its drippin over me My tongue is lovin the taste Of skin between my teeth Its like a dead masquerade So come and dance with me My flesh, it starts to decay Im droppin to my knees You had me in a trance My end of days Im where the worms crawl Dead people play And now I know its my soul that is fading Fading, decaying Pushing up daises

GORGEOUS NIGHTMARE

Ive got another confession to make So

complicated Let me try to explain Dont want this feeling to go away So it stays Is it the way that you talk thats causing me to freak? Is it the way that you laugh thats making my heart beat? Is it the way that you kiss? Its gotta be the way you taste Youre such a gorgeous nightmare Old habits never seem to go away You make me feel brand new, yeah We resurrect, its like Ive come back to life I feel so alive First impressions are hard to erase Etched in my mind and it just wont go away Maybe Im playing my cards way too safe Ive gotta change Is it the way that you feel against my body? Is it the way that you act so damn naughty? Is it the way that you shake? When your hips move to the bass?

CITY OF SIN Cmon, cmon, shake your money maker Take, take your time
do it right tonight Double down another round Everybody wears a crown Wasted space on my face Headin into outer space City of sin, yeah you just cant deny it City of sin, yeah you just cannot fight it City of sin, raise a glass and lets toast to it Were singin Welcome to the city of sin Cmon, cmon meet me on the top floor So dangerous but I thirst for more Double down jump around Everybody wears a crown Wasted space on my face Headin into outer space

DAY OF WRECKONING

Am I the only one Stuck in this endless

hallway I hear voices makin fun Cause every door that I walk in leads to nothing What is all of this about Ive been slowly dying out Ive been down and down this road before Now comes my day of reckoning Can you hear the angels singin I hear them call my name Your words hit me like a wrecking ball Tears through establishments Ive been through so much suffering My patience is running thin Ive been slowly dyin out Ive been down and down this road before Now comes my day of reckoning Can you hear the angels singing I hear them call my name Can you feel the drummers beating Their marches shake the earth from me Can you hear the angels signing I hear them call my name, call my name Oh, no more of this suffering No more of this war

ROBERT The year going into the making of this record has been the craziest journey I have had to endure. I almost didn't want to thank anyone and instead just let the record stand alone as a work of art and keep everyone out of my personal life, something I've tried my hardest to maintain. I am known for having a tremendous ego, yet I find that I'm probably the most humble musician I know, as I aim to maintain relationships with my family and friends that meant the most to me before I started to make music as a career. I couldnt have done it without my family. So, thank you to Jessica-- you are the love of my life, my best friend, and my soulmate. Everything this world throws at me means nothing because I have you. Mom and Dad, your guidance and devotion to me keeps me strong and appreciative of all I have been given. Skyy, Zach, Audrey, Angel, Julius, Tanya, my second parents Tom and Mo, Inez, grandma and grandpa Ortiz, grandma and grandpa Alcala. Lora, Lorenzo, Margie, Pancho, Suzy Wendal, Gracie, Filbert, Sandra, Joe, Marie, Raymond, Benny Vale Jr., Matthew Omar, all the cousins on my moms side-- too many to fit, but when you read this youll know Im thinking of you. To my counselor, Angel, for helping me understand that Im normal. Eddie, Jewnior, Pat, Jordon, Matt Woodmancee. Joey Simmrin and all the industry people he found to make us famous. Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, Metallica, the Queensberry Rules boxing blog, ringtv.com, Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather. MONTE
Thank you GOD for each and every one of you. Thank you GOD for blessing me with everything in life Daniel James Gonzalez (DJ)--Thank you for being my best friend & brother. You will always be with me.

WORLD AROUND ME Im not tryin to bring you down But youre

lost in the clouds Ive never been one to complain But your world around

LOST IN DARKNESS She hears a moan at the top of the stairs But she
dont move a thread Just minds her business I swear these walls have been talkin to me, she says Cause all I hear are the devils wishes She feels his breath down her skin and bones Cryin out in pain, but no one knows how to find you Youre lost in darkness Cryin out in vain but no one knows how to reach you Youre lost in darkness again By her hair he drags her in the street Hes free of others eyes, there are no glances She cries for help with a gun to her cheek But no one comes nobody listens Her blood runs red all through the street I cant find my inspiration

me kills me softly I dont wanna be demanding I just wanna know the reasons why We live and die in a world of lies Addicted to the way we crash and burn I gave it all away, now its your turn Watchin me, watchin you Dont wanna see the worst in you So dont let it come true Comin true Tore me down and made it clear As I sunk to the bottom I stare at space from the ocean floor It all surrounds me Kills me softly So dont let this come true Cause I dont wanna see the worst in you Swimmin towards me through shadows In a presence of light Im reachin out my hands With my fingers to the sky So tell me what I have to do I dont wanna tell you too I just wanna be with you I just wanna make it through I just wanna make it through this life

PREPARE YOUR WEAPON

Fire! I know I suffer, from guilt of

past romances Now that its over, all hope fades in blackness I build defenses, I arm myself in darkness Prepare the weapon, this battle ends when I give in. I lose my head, I lose my mind Time passes by far out of sight And I cant look back Im losin my fight, blinded by this life The truth is gone, gone, gone Caged in my mind, I am trapped inside Like a martyr Im gone, gone, gone The silence cuts me, my arrogance is striking Yet so addictive just like the drugs inside me Im feelin anger, my hopes cut through the sky I can no longer, cause his word cuts me down to size I lose my head, I lose my mind Time passes, by far out of sight And I cant look back Im alright Said my goodbyes The past is gone Gone, gone, gone......

THE AFTERMATH (G3) All of their bodies around

me I hear their voices inside The battles over This war has been won Visions haunt me in my dreams Visions of what Ive done So much blood shed Now am I worthy to come home My GOD forgive me For all of the bodies Ive taken in battle Oh GOD dont forsake me I will stand right by your side I have made it through the fight Now Im comin home, now Im comin home Ive been knee deep in water Its time to be set free So devastated The damage has been done So violated Like Ive been raped and left for dead Im lyin naked Im lyin naked on the floor My GOD forgive me For all of the bodies Ive taken in battle Alls fair in love and war This is the last time I Raise a fist to fight Reach out your hands to me And lets just disappear
