Freight Train 02:55
lyrics
download
I am an overturned bus wreck The kind of mind that could change in an instant Don't really care what it is, cause what isn't it? Take me away to a tattered and soulless place I'm the smirk that you wear all day I'm the time you forgot to waste I'm the reason you fake your simpler tastes Red coat, big shades, She's a killer every day she reminds me Back seat, full moon, Howling all night till the morning light sends us home I am a loaded shotgun And my fingers getting the itch I end every sentence with "it is what it is." God Damn! All hell has broken loose I am a fucking freight train I am a motherfucking freight train Yeah!

Jerry Was a Technician 04:27
lyrics

You've only got six months to live Before it pulls you under I look him straight in the eyes He's astronomically reduced White skin on frail bones If there's life then we'll take it from you From the needle to the bloodstained bed You'll never shake the death from your head Ride on the wings of our empty promises Jerry come home! There's talk of recovery You're all right! Jerry come home! There's talk of recovery You'll live! We're feeding lies to the hopeful Your final days will be memorable Jerry come home! There's talk of recovery All right! Checkbooks out, there's talk of a funeral! And no one really gets it No one wins this game If everyone's so fucking different Why do we treat them all the same? Now there's time enough to settle our affairs But there's no time left to hurt Your odds have never looked so good Smile I say! Remission! Remission! Looks like you're gonna be okay Your odds have never looked so good Smile I say! Diminish! Diminish! Jerry says he'll never be okay He pissed six months away

You said, you said don't do it As I fed my soul to the dogs If you are the timepiece, I am stone, I am stone! And I've been looking for another one to waste away But I don't think I like the way that you taste today Smell of smoke is thick in my hair First sign of fire and you're running scared Running scared! Oh yeah! If you're gonna lie to her Damn right, you better hide those fucking teeth boy There's blood in your mouth! Roll it up like it's the last time Shotgun faith brother, breath your lifeline Damn right, they're gonna see you sweat So let's shake, shake, shake, shake, Shake the day away! You said don't bet on faded hearts The head rush is tearing us apart I say it's too late now to start Head fucked, we shouldn't think so hard The comedown will kill you where you are Head rush it, tears us apart!

Past the Grey 05:04
lyrics

What part of no didn't you understand? I'd rather sell my soul than grab ahold of your hand I put the fear in your heart, you put the thought in my mind Promise I'll leave you alone while I'm robbing you blind Oh you thought I'd brighten up your life But it's just the glow from the edge of the knife! I really wish that I could love like I used to do But I can't shake all these awful things I wanna do to you I got a feeling that we'll never lock eyes again After the killing and everything I'm kinda hoping that we fall off the earth sometime soon I'm pounding tablets for the new world order, sometimes I can't see past the grey We must have set the sky on fire We started running for cover now we're under the wire I'm pleading ignorance with the blood on my sleeve You called me up to bitch and then you begged me to leave Oh there's something buried in my skin It's like a worm in my brain, It keeps on tunnelling in And I can't fucking stop, no I can't fucking stop Break through the serenity with the sound of a shot I swear I tried to change my ways But I think I kinda like it this way Yeah! So I think I'll feed the beast tonight

Rough Operator 02:32

All that time we spend pulling out our hair But I do not deny what it was, And what it was was explosive! We strung love through a time-bomb So dance or die! Dance like 4321 I swore I'd never get involved, with the shit you swore you'd create I'll be damned! Still see me sneaking down the hall, at five o'clock in the morning God damn! What is this place, that we have built? What a mess! One more black eye, and no more guilt I'm out! Fuck!
