Bullet Hole 04:25
I'm always talking with god We share the same mirror Dilated pupils, dilated egos. We're the bloodshot eyed clique 'cos sleep deprived is the new chic No future and Love under Will. We're terrified to go all the way Ashamed of the stupid things we say Always looking for more trust to betray. Most deprived without a backstage pass Hooked on youth that cannot last Banging our heads to the pulse of the drum. Remember it ain't cool to be in love 'cos all we want are tortured souls Forget everything you knew before Your conscience empty like a bullet hole.

Burning Down 04:43
We're all sheep, we're all fucking sheep. We fall in line, fall into place We keep our mouth shut and keep the pace We keep our head down and stare to the floor We're here to witness our fall... We watch our town, watch it burning down We watch the greed in which we drown We watch our town burning to the ground We watch the future, it's right now... Driven by money blinded by faith We feel our lives slowly slipping away Gripped by fear of losing the little we've got Obey anything they say, we pray to our gods. We watch our town, watch it burning down We watch the greed in which we drown We watch our town burning to the ground We watch the future, it's right now… We keep our head down and stare to the floor We're here to witness our fall.

Fragility 05:01
Love that fragility of yours The one that fills your doubts The one fleshing out your jealousy Oh how I love that fragility. Love that wicked smile of yours The one you pull to turn me on The one I feel on your lips at night Oh how I love your smile. But isn't love supposed to give you strength? How come I crumble each time our hours together end? I feel the loss more than I feel the touch Your beauty intoxicating me so much It kills me. Love that fragility of yours The one that fills your doubts The one fleshing out your jealousy Oh how I love that fragility. But isn't love supposed to give you strength? How come I crumble each time our hours together end? I feel the loss more than I feel the touch Your beauty intoxicating me so much it kills me It kills me It kills me. And I hate this weakness of mine The one I try to hide with rhymes The one fuelling your stress Oh how I hate my weakness.

Wake Up! 04:36
I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes. Pray for the injustice of war, Pray for all the battles you lost, Pray for all the blood that's been shed, And pray to kill this dream in your head. Wake up! I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes. Pray for the injustice of war, Pray for all the battles you lost, Pray for all the blood that's been shed, And pray to kill this dream in your head. Scream for the ideals you betrayed, Scream for all the friends that you failed, Scream for all the crimes that you dream, And scream for every soul that you killed. Wake up! I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes.

It doesn't matter if you ain't rich It doesn't matter if life's a bitch It doesn't matter if you have no friends It doesn't matter if your affair ends It doesn't matter if your job sucks It doesn't matter if you're getting fat It doesn't matter if you can't pay the bills It doesn't matter how old you feel. Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair We don't care about your luxury car We don't care if you date a star We don't care about your fancy dress We don't care if you are in the press We don't care about your fiancee We don't care if he's great in bed We don't care about your house so posh We don't care, no we don't care at all. Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair

Decadence 04:29
Standing in the midst of all our fears We contemplate the choices the future deals, Afraid to stray from our spiraling path Hiding in the glory of ages past. Lost in our pride, a craving of old Waiting for a prize we cannot behold Lost is our fight, lost is our world We worship our own decadence, our dying soul. The voices we once had, Sang our fortune and fame They have drowned in a sea of shame Shipwrecked against the shoals of greed We crawl to shore, we cannot speak. A lie so bright, we cannot see, We're dumb and deaf, we cannot speak. Lost in our pride, a craving of old Waiting for a prize we cannot behold Lost is our fight, lost is our world We worship our own decadence, our dying soul.

You're the wound that won't heal You're the breath I can't breathe You're the seed slowly sinking in me You're the one that I need. You're the wound that won't heal You're the breath I can't breathe You're the seed slowly sinking in me You're the drug that I need. You're the one that I feel You're the one that I need.

She’s my little dolly, she does as I ask Waiting for my word, whilst the hours pass I make my Dolly move, I nudge her into line Pushing her along, she gives me all her time I command and order, to my beck and call I decide just how high and then I let her fall But my Dolly wants something I can’t give her She wants life, she wants to feel Suffer and bleed, laugh and cry If I give her life she’ll have to die. Suffer and bleed, laugh and cry If I give her life she’ll have to die. So I muv my Dolly, give her my commands Gently force her existence, she’s Putty in my hands Emotions that she can’t feel and never understand Gently force her existence, she’s Putty in my hands Suffer and bleed, laugh and cry If I give her life she’ll have to die. Suffer and bleed, laugh and cry If I give her life she’ll have to die.

I’ve got the discipline, I’ve got control I’ve got the guts to take your blows And you won’t see me coming for you Revenge is an art, I play by its rules... The pain I suffered, repaid tenfold Insult, mockery, all the lies I’m told But i can wait, I can restrain The plan unravelling in my brain. And when the time’s right you won’t escape I’ll have no mercy, no soul, just rage And then i'll strike and strike again I will teach you all 'bout pain. This is my revenge Your end, your punishment Too late to repent This is my revenge The art of revenge is an art with an end A pain to deploy a means to destroy. This is my revenge Your end, your punishment Too late to repent This is my revenge

Slice and dice my dear. It's twice as nice with fear. You like being cut And he is so near. He likes drinking Who cares what they're thinking? You like giving And now you're sinking. Everyone's a loser In the game of blood Take all you can Oh it tastes so good. Cutting and drinking Bleeding and sinking Time for a game of blood A cut can feel so good. Cutting and drinking Bleeding and sinking Time for a game of blood A cut can feel so good. Try to imagine it, Pain, forever Pain, forever You (Pain forever). You Like giving. You (Pain) Like giving (Forever). You Like giving Blood. Forever.
