Lyrics Stranded, lost inside myself My own worst friend

And my own closest enemy (Verse 1)

Branded, maladjusted Never trusted anyone Let alone myself

I must insist on being a pessimist (Chorus 1)

I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind Elected, the rejected I perfected the science

Of the idiot (Verse 2)

No meaning, and no healing Self-loathing freak

And introverted deviot

End on G5 Lyrics Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days They're getting over the hill Death is closing in and catching up

As far as I can tell (Verse 1)

Got a plan of action and cold blood And it smells of defiance I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die Get my inheritance Well now I want more Cuz I'm getting bored And I'm going nowhere fast

I was once full of doubt (Chorus)

But it's all figured out Well nothing good can last Crow's feet and rot are setting in And time is running out My parent's income interest rate

Is gaining higher clout (Verse 2)

I'm a snot-nosed slob without a job And I know I damn well should Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days But my future's looking good

Lyrics I'm not part of your elite I'm just alright Class structures waving colours Bleeding from my throat Not subservient to you I'm just alright Downclassed by the powers that be Give me loss of hope Cast out, buried in a hole Struck down, forcing me to fall

Destroyed, giving up the fight (Chorus)

Well I know I'm not alright What's ny price and will you pay it? If it's alright Take it from my dignity Waste it till it's dead Throw me back into the gutter Cuz it's alright Find another pleasure fucker Drag him down to hell

Lyrics I'm on a mission I've made my decision To lead a path of self-destruction

Slow progression (Verse 1)

Killin my complexion And it's rotting out my teeth I'm on a roll No self-control I'm blowing off steam

With methaphetamine (Chorus)

I don't know what I want And it's all that I've got And I'm picking scabs off my face Every hour My blood is turning sour And my pulse is beating out of time

I found a treasure (Verse 2)

Filled with sick pleasure And it sits on a thick white line

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I'm on a mission I got no decision Like a cripple running the rat race

Wish in one hand (Verse 3)

Lyrics Well I am just a mutt And nowhere is my home Where dignity's a land mine

In the school of lost hope (Verse 1)

I've panhandled for life Because I'm not afraid to beg Hand me down your lost and founds Of second hand regrets Better swallow your pride Before you choke on it Better digest your values

Because they turn to shit (Chorus)

Honour's gonna knock you down Before your chance To stand up and fight Well I know I'm not the one I got no pride Sects of disconnection And traditions of lost faith No culture's worth a stream of piss Or bullet in my face

To hell with unity (Verse 2)

Separation'll kill us all Torn to shreds and disjointed Before the final fall

Lyrics I got a knack for fuckin everything up My temper flies and I get myself all wound up My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high I lose control and I get myself all wound up

Tension mounts and I fly up the wall (Verse 1)

I self-destruct and I get myself all wound up Petulance and irritation set in I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up I hate myself and I'm all wound up

I hate myself and I'm all wound up (Chorus 1)

Loss of control and I'm all wound up I lose myself and I'm all wound up Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up Killed my composure and it'll never come back Loss of control and I get myself all wound up

Blown out of proportion again (Verse 2)

My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up Spontaneous combustion, panic attack I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up I hate myself and I'm all wound up Loss of control and I'm all wound up

What can I say, I'm afraid (Chorus 2)

I'm all wound up

The last time you were here? (Verse 1)

You'll never find it now It's buried deep With your identity So stand aside

And let the next one pass (Pre-Chorus)

Don't let the door Kick you in the ass There's no return from 86 (x4)

Don't even try (Chorus)

Exit out the back And never show your head

Around again (Verse 2)

Lyrics Ready for a cheap escape On the brink of self-destruction Widespread panic

Broken glass inside my head (Verse 1)

Bleeding down these thoughts of anguish Mass confusion Well the world is a sick machine

Breeding a mass of shit (Chorus)

With such a desolate conclusion Fill the void with...I don't care There's a plague inside of me Eating at my dispostion Nothing's left

Torn out of reality (Verse 2)

Into a state of no opinion Limp with hate

In the hands of bad luck (Chorus)

Before it might have made some sense But now it's all fucked up Seasons change as well as minds And I'm a two-faced clown Mommy's little nightmare

Driving Daddy's car around (Verse 2)

As time ticks by, still I try (Verse 1)

No rest for crosstops in my mind On my own, here we go My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed Dried up and bulging out my skull

My mouth is dry, my face is numb (Verse 2)

Fucked up and spun out in my room On my own, here we go My mind is set on overdrive The clock is laughing in my face

Crooked spine, senses dulled (Verse 3)

Lyrics Boxed up all of her favourite things Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale Big plans and leaving friends

And a westbound sign (Verse 1)

Weighed out her choices on a scale Prevailing nothing made sense Just transportation and a blank decision She's taking off

Taking off (Chorus)

Taking off Taking off No time and no copping out She's burning daylight and petrol Blacked out the rearview mirror And westward on Strung out on confusion road

And ten minute nervous breakdowns

Xanex a beer for thought And she's determined

(Chorus)

Oh is it salvation? Or an escape from discontent? Will she find a name In the California cement

Punched out of the grind (Bridge)

The punched her once too many times Is tragedy 2000 miles away? She's taking off h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down 5 = power chord

I agree with every word that you say (Verse 1)

Talk is cheap and lies are expensive My wallet's fat and so is my head Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smart-ass, but I'm playing dumb Standards set and broken all the time Control the chaos behind a gun Call it as I see it even if

I was born deaf, blind, and dumb (Verse 2)
