"Six foot four, Im drunk and I'm bored A 90 proof fueled snaggletooth I'm knocking around for someone to pound And I’m looking to dole out my truth Survivalist law, you’re weak and you’ll fall The process of weeding you out My crosshairs lock in, the melee begins The last thing you”ll hear is me shout Hear this little man, get hip to my plan, gonna beat you til I feel good. That might take a bit, cause I feel like shit and I’ll never deal with me as I should So here’s a fist to your face for your first little taste of my world that’s nothing but bad It’s an eye for an eye though there’s no first slight, I’m the worst day that you’ve ever had" Might Makes Right Right Makes Blight Blight Makes Spite FIGHT Whore For War War Makes Gore Rotten To The Corps TO THE CORE Six foot four, a drunk and a bore A 90 proof drunken buffoon Still fighting mad, cause you hate your dad You’re a bad Freudian cartoon You see me as soft, an excuse to go off Fisticuffs serve as your cvic pride You’re life’s Murphy’s Law, you scratch and you claw The only way you feel alive You yell and you boast but you're really milquetoast just a child inside of a man You’re going berserk cause you feel like you're dirt and emoting the way you can Here’s a face for your fist, punch those feelings you miss and the lack of your dreams to come true I’ll turn my cheek on the sad little man that’s you

World Adrift 09:26
Going under I don’t know if I’ll make it through Left asunder from myself and slowly turning blue Drowning hope as my life falls into a deep despair A feeling that I’ve learned to smother but is always there Going under Crawling under Drowning under Falling under Growing up with a belief that time was on my side Feeling like my life’s betrayed me and I’m out of time Aging at a pace that numbs me into atrophy Discontent with my life’s purpose and with all I see Going under Crawling under Drowning under Falling under If you believe your world’s adrift then I’m a lot like you Exploit your grief, accept your fate, there’s nothing you can do All the corporate bullshit is exactly what it seems Fed up with the rat race chasing someone else’s dream I hate them and they hate me though never shall we meet Living in the shallow end but in it way too deep Going under Crawling under Drowning under Falling under If you believe your world’s adrift then I’m a lot like you Exploit your grief, accept your fate, there’s nothing you can do Drink too much, do drugs, fight, fuck take everything you can No one cares and God will laugh at least you’ll make your stand Know The undertow Below Your days go Grow With what you know Embrace The afterglow Going under Crawling under Drowning under Falling under If you believe your world’s adrift then I’m a lot like you Exploit your grief, accept your fate, there’s nothing you can do Drink too much, do drugs, fight, fuck make all that you can make Roll the dice and don’t regret the chance you didn’t take Drink too much, do drugs, fight, fuck

This is a circumstance that isn’t gonna stop An ugly course correction a draining of the swamp The hand of doom, malaria, a storm, the devil’s taunt Sapping you of what you need and killing what you want Fraying on the edge - Falling off a ledge Praying for the night - Horizon out of sight Drowning on a beach - Safety out of reach Praying for the night - The dimming of the light This is a sliding scale that keeps you from the top A Slip and Slide, an obstacle that ties you up in knots Offensive to your sense of pride abrasive to the touch Crawling skin, a pounding skull, senses sense too much Fraying on the edge - Falling off a ledge Praying for the night - Horizon out of sight Drowning on a beach - Safety out of reach Praying for the night - The dimming of the light The days of your life have gone and quickly died away Not good or bad just atrophy your dreams have gone astray You waited for a moment that just never did arrive Now dying slow among the herd, a life unsatisfied Fraying on the edge - Falling off a ledge Praying for the night - Horizon out of sight Drowning on a beach - Safety out of reach Praying for the night - The dimming of the light The days of your life have gone and quickly died away Not good or bad just atrophy your dreams have gone astray You waited for a moment that just never did arrive Now dying slow among the herd, a life unsatisfied This is the consequence of push coming to shove A slow decay a fast decline a judgement from above A hand your dealt, an act of fate a nightmare coming true Close your eyes, ease into it there’s nothing you can do Fraying on the edge - Falling off a ledge Praying for the night - Horizon out of sight Drowning on a beach - Safety out of reach Praying for the night - Finally lost the fight The days of your life have gone and quickly died away Not good or bad just atrophy your dreams have gone astray You waited for a moment that just never did arrive Now dying slow among the herd, a life unsatisfied

Copper Too 01:43
Copper…it’s got ahold of me and I don’t know what I am supposed to do Copper…it’s got ahold of me by my neck and I just might not make it through it’s true Copper…it’s got ahold of me authority cutting off the life I knew Copper…it’s got ahold of me now I’m drowning in the darkest shade of blue Copper…it’s got ahold of me there’s not much left of me I’m falling under me And I’ll push and pull until I’m torn in two I’m through Copper I’m screwed

At the end it’s not so bad letting go of all you had Fire in the hole - it’s time to go Things are tough and getting worse seek the truth expect the worst Duck and cover - now it’s over Please don’t fret it’s all ok all the bullshit that they say Comme C’est la vie - It’s meant to be If you need I’m here for you but what exactly do they do? You’re on your own - Prone and alone From bad to bad and bad to worse The sweetest pill can’t quell the hurt Truth is the truth - you’re living proof Truth Tragedy your show of shows if it’s all that you’ve ever known A bleeding heart - tears you apart Dreaming of a better day save yourself and stay awake Naivete - the noose of youth Tending sheep throughout your day won’t help to keep the wolves at bay You’re left behind - but you’ll be fine In the end you’re on your own doesn’t matter how you’ve grown You’re lost and found - ground in the ground From bad to bad and bad to worse A bitter pill your just dessert From bad to bad and bad to worse Truth is the truth - you’re living proof Truth Empathy is agony live your pain let others be Time will never heal your wounds, you’re scarred for life and not immune Grin and bare what lies ahead before you know it you’ll be dead Hypertension, hyperbole, dig your ditch get in your hole Do unto them what they do but don’t you think they’re there for you In the shadow of a doubt push comes to shove you’ll do without Don’t have to lose the will to live to simply have no more to give Life’s too slow but moves too fast soon enough you’ll fade to black Bad to worse Starts at birth Bad to worse Life’s true curse

Bedwetter 06:45
Don’t fuck with Steven Steven’s a bed wetter He never got to go on all those overnight class trips ‘Cause Steven’s a bed wetter When you wake up soaking wet It toughens your hide You're dripping wet and stinking of piss And hard as nails He couldn’t stay at his house or her house or their house Because he’s a bed wetter Too risky too frisky too misty And reeking of piss Like the bullied kid that can’t make it home Or Ross Booby Butt on the stubby bus All pissed off all pissed on Changing sheets and far too far gone All pissed off all pissed on Blinding rage and a blunt object All pissed off all pissed on Steven’s a bed wetter He’s full of piss and vinegar and pathos and rage You push his buttons once...Just once He’ll look at you from across the room with his dead eyes He hates you, he hates me, he hates…Steven He’s Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers and Charles Manson But his mom and his sister and his Brian Wilson is his stained mattress pad All pissed off all pissed on Changing sheets and far too far gone All pissed off all pissed on Blinding rage and a blunt object All pissed off all pissed on Steven’s a bed wetter Therapy didn’t work, hypnosis didn’t work, pills didn’t work But thank god for the pills He’d try to stay up all night and then piss on the couch He was Damien then Pauzu now he’s Oscar the Grouch From a middle class home in a suburban tract home And he was never abused or molested…was he? was he? was he? Don’t fuck with Steven Steven’s a bed wetter

Trash Cookie 05:55
Tent cities rise out on the horizon Middle class dies divisions are rising Values in check but sympathies dying Problems so big so why bother trying? Homeless Lifeless Worthless Pointless “Problem of leisure what is for pleasure" One man’s garbage, another man’s treasure One in a home and one in a trailer Look down your nose at your so called neighbor Lucky Luckless Thriving Starving Living on the street - Unclaimed & unwashed Scavenging to eat - Waste not want not Dying in the street - disowned and cast off Could be you or me - to have or to have not Vote on the right side of every measure Handing out change to each lowly stranger Kept at the reach of my daily paper Raising my fence to keep out of danger Deadbeat Lowlife Junkie Half life Living on the street - Unclaimed & unwashed Scavenging to eat - Waste not want not Dying in the street - disowned and cast off Could be you or me - to have or to have not Favoring the bold - And those born into gold A house is not home - But keeps you from the cold Everyone's alone - And lucky to die old Cast a blind stone - A burden still untold Man in need and a mouth to feed The more you beg and the more you bleed Apathy in the land of greed Time stands still as our children freeze No one knows what you’re going through Do as we say how we say to do Don’t stray too far off the beaten path Stay in the box we’ve designed for you No one knows what you’re going through Do as we say how we say to do Even if you've found some peace at last We’ll decide what is right for you "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. “Give your tired to me Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,” Wretched Refuse Hapless Misused Living on the street - Unclaimed & unwashed Scavenging to eat - Waste not want not Dying in the street - disowned and cast off Could be you or me - to have or have not Favoring the bold - And those born into gold A house is not home - But keeps you from the cold Everyone's alone - And lucky to die old Cast a blind stone - A burden still untold
