Rage
Caught me searching the bottom
Looked up through the neck of the bottle
Hand down shifting through the rubble
To find the menu of the morning
Dirt cheap I can't afford the coffee
By now the meat is turning over
Discarded meal is my lover
No choice but to savor the remains
CH: Rage
Aaaaahhhh
Rage
Aaaaahhhhaaaahhhhhaaaaa
Woke up sleeping in the sewer
Cold night passed staring at the moon
Pungent the odor ever present
Takes me back to the battlefield raid
CH:
This sinister life is not what I would call an existence
This sinister life has driven many a man to his destruction
Cast out abandoned and forgotten
No way to complement the system
Deployed in the name of religion
To kill the innocent in vein
Return to the land of occupation
Duty calls but with zero explanation
War lies to cover up crimes
And destroy the fabric of our ties

Crash & Burn

Crash and Burn
I'm not your cowboy
To rope you in
I'm not your model
To make you win
No
CH: 'cause I had to crash and I had to burn
To find out if I could survive
A fall from grace is all it takes
To grab the bull by the horns
I got the feeling
You're gonna learn
From your misgivings
You sink or swim

Gun
There's a simple rule of life I'm told
Do I pick a gun or chose a rose
I'm not a coward
I ain't no hero
My gun is loaded
But if I cross the line
There's no returning
CH: Lay your guns down on the road
Lay your guns down lay 'em down
Lay your gun down for a rose
Lay your guns down lay 'em down
Hit the road I'm going on the run
To pick a flower or commit a crime
I'm not a preacher
I ain't no gangster
I'll bite the bullet
Yet I don't like the road that I've been driving
CH:
Policeman is on a trail of red
Should have known he'd be there in the end
I'm not a killer
I ain't no bandit
I should have listened
I should have picked the rose

Ride The Wave
Blindfold covers up your eyes
Can't see but you're not going blind
Hesitate and you'll lose control
Let the fear power up your soul
And now you let your mind guide you through
You gotta believe, believe in yourself
CH: So close your eyes and let yourself fall away
Take the time and ride the wave
A leap of faith will get you though one more day
You gotta believe, believe in yourself
There's no god in the heavens above
You own your adrenaline rush
Push down on the pedal to the floor
Burn rubber 'till you just want more
And now you let your mind guide you through
You gotta believe, believe in yourself
CH:
And now you let your mind guide you through
You gotta believe, believe in yourself

The Hand That Bites The Dog
There you go
There you go again
To change the world
To change perception
I thought you were
I thought you were a friend
But the love is lost
'Cause I need protection
And I can't pressure you to change your ways or your prescription
Your contradiction
CH: Is it the hand that bites the dog
And feeds you to the machine
For everything may turn out to be a lie
The hand that bites the dog
Makes you question everything you've learned
And all that money spent to just get by
There you go again
You killed the messenger
You maimed the courier
Then you'll kill the prophet next
It's hard to comprehend
How peace and truth can reign
When everything you say
And everything you've done
Is all for selfish gain and nothing makes you feel compassion
'sept devastation
CH:
There you go again
I thought you were a friend
You killed the messenger
Then you'll kill the prophet next
And I can't pressure you to change your ways or your prescription
Your devastation

Crack Whore
She's dressed to Kill
And on the pill
A modest lunch
A diet to thrill
CH: 'Cause she's a crack whore
She's gotta blow more
She's just a crack slut baby
A crazy crack slut baby
A party hat
A Smoking rat
You're not insane
It's just the cocaine
Oh you're so strung out
CH:
A credit card
Your lump of lard
Your eyes wide shut
You'll get your cut

Follow Me

Follow Me
You can take me
You can hate me
But you'll find me right here
You can love me
But you can't leave me
And I won't disappear
CH: You can follow me
Follow me there
You can follow me
Follow me to the end
Like the Piper
I'll hypnotize ya'
You captured in my spell
Blow the whistle
I'll blow your mind
Chase the Dragon to hell
CH:
Your indecision turns into addiction
You take the road of least resistance
Bite your tongue
Swallow your pride
And come along for the ride
CH: You can follow me
Follow me there
You can follow me
Follow me there
You can follow me
You should follow
You can follow me
Follow me to the end

Summer
In the springtime of our love
I hear you calling
And the music of your voice
Like a rainbow shining
When the sun comes out
And touches you
Like a smile
Your eyes light up like…
CH: Summer
Take me to the place I dream of
Take me to your desert island
Take me all the way to heaven
I'll go anywhere with you
Flowers bloom around your feet
Like a pillow of color
And the fountain of your hair
Lays a cool mist upon me
When the sun comes out
And touches you
Like a smile
Your eyes light up like…
CH: Summer
Take me to the place I dream of
Take me to your desert island
Take me all the way to heaven
I'll go anywhere with you
As long as you are there
I'm alive
The sun burns down like fire
And takes me to the sea of our love
Your eyes light up like..

Killing Time
Buy your time is all you have
To spend it at your will
Don't leave it up to me
'Cause I will take your life
Unique commodity
There's one for you and me
Control your idle hands
Yeah…
CH: Killing time
Or is time killing you
Killing time
Or is time killing you
Sketch your demons in the sand
And drown them one by one
To restore peace of mind
And purge yourself
CH: x2
Born the sweet euphoria
From darkness comes the sun
Obscurity folds in
To reveal the precious time

Checking Out
I can't get no sleep in this god-forsaken place
It's been a week or more and sunk into my face
I tried to cover up the hammer in my head
Another train rolls by and shakes me in bed
CH: I'm checking out
Checking out
Can't take another night of suffering in pain
Watching the roaches leave I should have done the same
Smoke one last cigarette and packing up my chest
Abandoning this ugly mess I used to call y home
CH:
I'm gonna ride on out of here…
…Can't take this shit hole one more day
I'm gonna pack my backs and go
I'm gonna ride out of here
I'm gonna fly out of here
