Self-righteousness { Tabloid gossip queen worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you) is Selfish agenda once again (Right
this way you've dug your own grave)
{ Track 1.
00.05.14 wearing thin
Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off ~ Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long ~ While you feed off others’
insecurities ~ You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds ~ Self-righteousness is wearing thin ~ (Lies inside your head,
your best friend) ~ Heart bleeds but not for fellow men ~ (Broken glass, your fake reflection) ~ I've had enough ~ It's time for
something real ~ I don't respect the words you’re speaking ~ Gone too far ~ A clone ~ So how does it feel to know that someone’s
kid in the heart of America has blood on their hands ~ fighting to defend your rights so you can maintain a lifestyle that insults his
family’s existence ~ Well, where I'm from we have a special salute that we aim high in the air ~ towards all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers ~ Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off ~ Like the heartbeat of this country when
antagonized too long ~ I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy ~ collecting enemies ~ Tabloid gossip
queen worthless man ~ (There's no need for us to bury you) ~ Selfish agenda once again ~ (Right this way you've dug your own
grave) ~ I've had enough ~ It's time for something real ~ I don't respect the words you’re speaking ~ Gone too far ~ A clone ~ All
the way from the east to the west we got this high society looking down on their very foundation ~ constantly reminding us that our
actions are the cause of all their problems ~ Pointing their fingers in every direction and blaming their own nation for who wins the
elections ~ They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize ~ Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
~ Depictions we see try and get through ~ Admitting mistakes can hurt ~ I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first ~ Shhh… quiet you
might piss somebody off ~ Self-righteousness is wearing thin ~ (Lies inside your head your best friend) ~ Heart bleeds but not for
fellow men ~ (Broken glass your fake reflection) ~ I've had enough ~ It's time for something real ~ I don't respect the words you’re
speaking ~ Gone too far ~ A clone
almost easy {
I've tried to { you've slowly
hold on as slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you Track 2. 00.03.53 So wrong now let me make it right
I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise ~ ‘Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it stays ~ So how
long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance? ~ By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip ~ I'm not insane, I'm not
insane ~ I'm not insane, I’m not... not insane ~ (Mother) ~ Come back to me it's almost easy ~ (Said it all) ~ Come back again it's
almost easy ~ Shame pulses through my heart from the things I've done to you ~ It's hard to face but the fact remains that this is
nothing new ~ I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories ~ Selfish beneath the skin but deep inside I'm not insane ~ I'm not
insane, I'm not insane ~ I'm not insane, I’m not... not insane ~ (Mother) ~ Come back to me it's almost easy ~ (Said it all) ~ Come
back again it's almost easy ~ (You’ll learn your lesson) ~ Come back to me it's almost easy ~ (But first you fall) ~ Come back again
it's almost easy ~ Now that I've lost you it kills me to say ~ (Hurts to say) ~ I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away ~ I'm
losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong now let me make it right ~ (Make it alright) ~ I'm not insane, I'm not insane ~ I'm not
insane, I’m not... not insane ~ (Mother) ~ Come back to me it's almost easy ~ (Said it all) ~ Come back again it's almost easy ~
(You’ll learn your lesson) ~ Come back to me it's almost easy ~ (But still you’ll fall) ~ Come back again it's almost easy

unmask your desire
Scream till there’s silence Track 3. 00.04.48 Protest the way we’re built don’t point the blame on me
Caught up in this madness too blind to see ~ Woke animal feelings in me ~ Took over my sense and I lost control ~ I'll taste your
blood tonight ~ You know I make you wanna scream ~ You know I make you wanna run from me baby ~ but know it's too late
you've wasted all your time ~ Relax while you're closing your eyes to me ~ So warm as I'm setting you free ~ With your arms by your
side there's no struggling ~ Pleasure's all mine this time ~ You know I make you wanna scream ~ You know I make you wanna run
from me baby ~ but know it's too late you've wasted all your time ~ Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring ~ Cover me, unwanted
clemency ~ Scream till there's silence ~ Scream while there's life left, vanishing ~ Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire ~
perishing ~ We've all had a time where we've lost control ~ We've all had our time to grow ~ I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm
right ~ I'll hunt again one night ~ You know I make you wanna scream ~ You know I make you wanna run from me baby ~ but
know it's too late you've wasted all your time ~ Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring ~ Cover me, unwanted clemency ~ Scream till
there's silence ~ Scream while there's life left, vanishing ~ Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire ~ perishing ~ Some live
repressing their instinctive feelings ~ Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me ~ Scream, Scream, Scream the way you
would if I ravaged your body ~ Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged your mind ~ Cherishing, those feelings
pleasuring ~ Cover me, unwanted clemency ~ Scream till there's silence ~ Scream while there's life left, vanishing ~ Scream from
the pleasure unmask your desire ~ perishing

Centuries pass and still the same ~ War in our blood, some things never change ~ Fighting for land and personal gain ~ better your
life, justify our pain ~ The end is knocking ~ The end is knocking ~ We've all been lost for most of this life ~ (lost for most of this life)
~ Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us ~ And I know that most of us just ain’t right ~ (most of us just ain’t right) ~
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride ~ How many lives will we take ~ How many hearts destined to break ~ Nowhere to run,
can't escape ~ Full of ourselves, tied to our fate ~ The end is knocking ~ The end is knocking, yeah ~ We've all been lost for most of
this life ~ (lost for most of this life) ~ Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us ~ And I know that most of us just ain’t right ~
(most of us just ain’t right) ~ Following the wrong steps, being led by pride ~ With peace of mind so hard to find ~ We're dwelling on
the drastic signs ~ Another way to numb our mind ~ And as you close your eyes tonight ~ and pray for a better life ~ you’ll see it
flying helplessly away ~ We've all been lost for most of this life ~ (lost for most of this life) ~ Everywhere we turn more hatred
surrounds us ~ And I know that most of us just ain’t right ~ (most of us just ain’t right) ~ Following the wrong steps, being led by pride

of heaven 00.08.01
Before the story begins, is it such a sin ~ for me to take what's mine, until the end of time ~ We were more than friends, before the story
ends ~ And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design ~ Our love had been so strong for far too long ~ I was weak with
fear that something would go wrong ~ before the possibilities came true ~ I took all possibility from you ~ Almost laughed myself to tears ~
conjuring her deepest fears ~ Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times ~ I can't believe it ~ Ripped her heart out right before her eyes, ~
Eyes over easy, eat it eat it eat it ~ She was never this good in bed ~ even when she was sleepin' ~ now she's just so perfect I've never been
quite so fucking deep in ~ it goes on and on and on ~ I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever ~ with a fountain to spray on your
youth whenever ~ ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime ~ would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs ~ and I know, I
know it's not your time ~ but bye, bye ~ and a word to the wise when the fire dies ~ you think it's over but it's just begun ~ but baby don't
cry ~ You had my heart, at least for the most part ~ ’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart ~ let's make a new start ~ ’cause
everybody's gotta die sometime yeah ~ but baby don't cry ~ Now possibilities I'd never considered, ~ are occurring the likes of which I'd
never heard ~ Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave ~ to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved ~ Smiling right from
ear to ear ~ Almost laughed herself to tears ~ Must have stabbed him fifty fuckin times ~ I can't believe it ~ Ripped his heart out right
before his eyes ~ Eyes over easy ~ Eat it eat it eat it ~ Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways ~ I must venture back to apologize
from somewhere far beyond the grave ~ I gotta make up for what I've done ~ ’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven ~ while you burned in
hell, no peace forever ~ ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime ~ would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs ~ and I
know, I know it's not your time ~ but bye, bye ~ and a word to the wise when the fire dies ~ you think it's over but it's just begun ~ but
baby don't cry ~ You had my heart, at least for the most part ~ ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart ~ Let’s make a new
start ~ ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah ~ But baby don't cry ~ I will suffer for so long ~ (What will you do, not long enough) ~
To make it up to you ~ (I pray to God that you do) ~ I'll do whatever you want me to do ~ (Well then I’ll break you unchained) ~ And if
it's not enough ~ (If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough) ~ If it's not enough ~ (Not enough) ~ Try again ~ (Try again) ~ And again ~
(And again) ~ Over and over again ~ We’re coming back, coming back ~ We’ll live forever, live forever ~ Let’s have wedding, have a
wedding ~ Let’s start the killing, start the killing ~ ’Cause I really always knew that my little crime ~ would be cold that's why I got a heater
for your thighs ~ and I know, I know it's not your time ~ but bye, bye ~ And a word to the wise when the fire dies ~ you think it's over but
it's just begun ~ but baby don't cry ~ You had my heart, at least for the most part ~ ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart ~
Let’s make a new start ~ ’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah ~ But baby don't cry
