Steamroller
If you could just feel my pain
My pain, my sorrow
You’d realize what I can’t be tomorrow
Your self-motivating words I know
But you’re talking so much shit
Your mouth looks like an asshole
Every time I see myself
I choke down all the loathe inside
It’s so rock star typical
Can’t you see why I’m cynical
Can you hear me?
What did I say?
Can’t you see me, wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught between what I say and what I see
Like all them stupid motherfuckers on MTV
All your bithcin’ and whining, I’ve heard it all before
Someone please tell me the score
Kids tease up your mowhawks now
Your new punk rock ain’t going to last
Kill all rock stars
Wonder how they got the idea?
Can you hear me?
What did I say
Can’t you see me
Wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock
Czar.

Avowal
You must promise you will
Never speak again of this to me
‘Cause I could never look my son
In the eye and tell him
Just exactly what his daddy did
With the souls of all the broken ones
I could never understand exactly why
You had feelings for these
Worthless human flies
And when I looked into your eyes
I felt
I felt broken
Yes, it’s true
I wanted to be like you
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you
Shying away from all the angels
It’ll never be the way it was again
You couldn’t see that I
Treated you just like a son
And if I held others just like you
It’s only because I
Created all men equal
I could never understand exactly why
You would spit into your loving father’s eyes
Oh my father how am I
Supposed to say I’m sorry?
Yes, it’s true
I wanted to be like you
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you
Shying away from all the angels
I forgive you. Don’t you know?
I just don’t care
I could never be the one
Ever be your son
I could never be the father No
(I could never win)
Back to the list...
Introverted
The air outside
Burns my eyes
If I could put them out
I would fly away from here
‘Cause I don’t need to see this world
I can feel its weight just crushing me
Don’t need my ears ‘cause all I hear is constant moans
Strip me of my senses, introverted, I am finally home
Now that I’m blind, spend my time
Peeling back my skin to find out
There’s nothing there
Pray
Supposed afterlife is bliss
‘Cause living here in this is
like drinking lukewarm piss
I need someone that I can’t feel
To rescue me
Just strip me of my senses,
Introverted, I am finally free
I can’t help you,
This weight is just crushing me
I can’t touch you, and I would love to,
But I’m flying from here strong and free
We can never be what we want to be
‘Til we all can shed our skin
And maybe we will rise up to see
The light inside us all
Back to the list...
In Media Res
Been given eyes for the blind
To seek the answers
For questions of mankind
You know that I
I’ve got to find
Some meaning to my life
And yes I’ve said I want it
I want it now
Live it now
Take it yeah
You neglect the way
To strive to make the most
Of every single day
And you know that I
I got the way to deal with that problem
Yes I’ve said I want it
I want it now
Live it now
Take it
Yes I’ve said I want it
I want it now
Live it now
Take it yeah
If the truth is out there
You would never know
You’re running from your problems
And running for your life
I think I can, I think I can
Your cause is just a reaction
To the procrastination of lost principles
within your heart and mind
Time it slips away
It tends to be held more precious with decay
You know that I
I got a way to deal with that problem
Yes I’ve said I want it
I want it now
Live it now
Take it
Yes I’ve said I want it
I want it now
Live it now
Take it Yeah

Never Again
Wrench and choke
The bile from all those token words
Whose meaning lost long ago
Through shadows of promise
Time will tell if they
Were genuine or just foolish dreams
Still deserving of scrutiny
They may harbor the answers
Try and see through
To guide you to the truth
Wasted toil extracting
Origins of thought
Can’t possess own theories
Or individual opinions
Deny those so-called scholars
Speculations on artistry
Prove for self-discovery
It may harbor your answers
Try and see through
To guide you to the truth
Songs we sang to, long ago
With lies no one can comprehend
Yet splinters of truth
Lie in perversion
Won’t be told to think
No I’ll never again
Won’t be told what to feel
No I’ll never again
Won’t be told to think again
Won’t believe those lies again, so
Try and see
To question what this means
Try and see through
To guide you to the truth
Songs we sang to, long ago
With lies no one can comprehend
Yet splinters of truth
Lie in perversion
Songs we sang to, long ago
And I’ll never think that way again
Yet splinters of truth
Lie in perversion
Can’t comprehend
What I’ve said
Never again

Lullaby For Your Casket
Slowly lowered dawn
Eyes filled with tears
Figures fade from....
Dirt thrown on me
I'm not dead yet
Just beware what you wish for
It may kill you
Once you enter you may not leave
Humans are easy prey
'Cause God told me to
'Cause God told me to
I've finally seen the light again
An invitation to hell Death is just the beginning here
Say farewell to the flesh
Children shouldn't play with dead things
Rest in pieces
And if I die before I awake
He'll tear your soul apart
'Cause God told me to
'Cause God told me to
I've finally seen the light again
An invitation to hell
Death is just the beginning here
Farewell to the flesh
Christened in blood
Enemy of faith
Foe to the human race
And you embrace me
Evil never dies
Just takes a new soul
Bloody, born fire
Feeds on flesh
This just cannot be true
Plunge into darkness
Please God help me soon
I’m breathing
The sun’s in sight
I’m alive
I’m alright
Back to the list...
Prayers For The Dying
As I’ve walked through
The valley of the underworld
With death lurking close behind
You see the smile on my face
Might be replaced
With my screams of please
Take pity I am ignorant
It’s my prayer
The faces I have known
They all have stranger's eyes
Within this inhuman world
I've beaten death all my life
And I will not deny
The existence of some faith
When I'm about to die
It's my prayer
Take me away some other day
Since I have seen it
My scars reveal
That I'm not ready to burn
Since I have seen it
My scars reveal
That I am not ready to burn
Back to the list...
Providence
Stop embracing all yesterdays for in the end
Creatures of habit dwell there
When you turn around to face your fate
All those regrets black the path before you
Weighed down by your neglect
And you'll drown in your own evil
It can never be the same
You must embrace the change
Stop laboring for a single goal
You can't depend on what the
future holds for you
Not physically where you are on your journey
It's only what you make of it
The fruits of emphasis on tomorrow
Yield a life filled with much sorrow
It doesn't mean you'll star the same
You cannot force the change
If you seek the wild horses
Bound for uncharted courses
You would never grab the reins
For a chance to learn from your mistakes
Stand up and deliver yourself
From all that you know
All you know...
Back to the list...
Drop The Hammer
With a smile and lies, expose your foes
Yourself is it true, bruised by the blows
Keep on begging for another show
Can't go on no more
I'II admit I'm scared
Does anybody care?
It's lust that you appear
As strong as my fears
I've said...yeah
I'm invincible
I'II play...yeah
That I'm invincible
Come on, be the fool
Still play it cool
You think you're immune
To feeling like I do?
I'm feeling used
By your abuse
Looks good to your friends
But it'll fuck you in the end
I've said...yeah
I'm invincible
I'II play...yeah
That I'm invincible
You know this is part of my act
To make you feel

TK-421
I can't understand why my life
Would warrant discussion or gossip
My conquests and accomplishments are minimal
It's like some new false language
I can't understand
Maybe I wasn't really listening
You see I don't speak for the sake of speaking
I speak from the heart, my words reveal me
That's why I have nothing to say to you
It's amusing that you consider yourself
Some great reward...Oh,
so beautiful...So precious.....astounding
And if I caused you distress in your life
It's because I've deemed yours worthless
I think nothing of chewing you up
And spitting you out Because I consider you nothing.
Alive
I'm alive
I'm a lie
I am awake
I've awoken
I denounce you
I forgive you
I am reborn
You always said you'd be there
To pick me up when I fell down
Your out-stretched hand, enclosed in mine
And I took you right down
You knew some day I wouldn't be there
I knew I'd kick you in the ass
I just couldn't stand to see you disrespect yourself,
To destroy yourself,
and to destroy me with you.

Double-Edged Sword
Just what do you have to prove?
You're cutting yourself on
A double-edged sword
This has got to be a joke
You got a double-edged sword
You will never hold me back
I've seen you promise nothing but more
promises
And you're sickened by the fear of
actually living your dream
You're like a double-edged sword,
either way I'm getting cut
By the lies you've always seemed to
live and your insecurities
Just what do you have to prove?
You're cutting yourself on
A double-edged sword
This has got to be a joke
You got a double-edged sword
You will never hold me back
Nothing you say will hold me back
Nothing you do will hold me back
Nothing you say will hold me back
Sword
You will never hold me back
Your failure is my gain, my strength
is your pain
And if you think I can't go on without
you you're wrong
You won't break me
Just what do you have to prove?
Just what do you have to prove?
Just what are you going to do?
You're cutting yourself on
A double-edged sword
This has got to be a joke
You got a double-edged sword
You will never hold me back

X
It's enough,
it's enough to make you want to bust
My response is
My middle finger
Raised up to the world
I can't take anymore
Settle down, take it easy
Stand witness to your disease
The raping of society
Just like it's fucked me
I believe do unto others
As they've done to you
And if the rest of the world would too
I wouldn't even have to choose
If I should accept you
I am the unknown
Omitted from democracy
I am the unknown
Fuck all this
My response is
My middle finger
Raised up to the world
I can't take anymore
The more I want, the less they
The less they feel immune
To feeling for the lives they've ruined
I'm just a number
Fruits of the country are right in front of me
To be part of it you pay a fee
And still they just ignore me
Unless I don’t pay up
I am the unknown
Omitted from democracy
I am the unknown
Fuck all this now
Witness a side of me
Witness society
That seems to make you suffer
Witness a side of me
Witness society
That seems to make you suffer
yes sir
I always wanted to belong
To fit in I won't talk too loud
Or feel too proud ‘cuz
I always wanted to belong....
Can't you see I always aim to please!
Somehow end up down upon my knees?
Can't we be the same?
Can't we be the same?
It's enough,
it's enough to make you want to bust
My response is
My middle finger
Raised up to the world
I can't take anymore
I am the unknown
Omitted from democracy
I am the unknown
Fuck all this now
Witness a side of me
Witness society
That seems to make you suffer
