Dead Queen 04:30
lyrics

I’m looking for a better way I’m begging for your sympathies Can you contain me I don’t recognize a single line along your face I just can’t get over my feelings for this place CHORUS Dead Scene, No Queen You’ll never keep this city clean Dead Scene, No Queen You’ll never keep this city clean I give something You will need Blood is pumping Through my Dead Queen Take the party to the record room Stop the world from crashing through I’m entertaining Stars are looking bright tonight Out of body and out of mind Get up and flip that record side Hey man, When’s your set Hey man, Where's yourself CHORUS Dead Scene No Queen I pretty quickly made it clear I get crazy when I feel your energy Dead Scene No Queen I come from where I’ve been Rise up make love Do everything above I eat pussy I eat ass I drink liquor I smoke grass I’m looking for a better way I’m begging for your sympathies You can't contain me I'm down and I’m out I’m losing ground I’ve lost it all Stakes of these streets that might fall I’ve been looking forward to nothing More than coming down town We eat pussy We eat ass We drink liquor We smoke grass

Nobody Knows 03:22

Nobody knows you’re the only one I told I hope you can keep a secret I’m hounding at your door pounding Lord knows I need it Making fake friends just to make ends Trying to get by Nobody knows the feelings of the low When you’re trying to stay high Sweet serenity I can’t fight when the night Comes calling me Sweet serenity I can’t fight when the night Comes calling me yeah It’s dark at the bottom staring up the barrel Of a loaded gun One more door and one more score One more sleepless night One more sleepless night One more sleepless night Sweet serenity I can’t fight when the night Comes calling me Sweet serenity I can’t fight when the night Comes calling me yeah Everyday you’re running But you can’t escape the grave Nobody knows when it’s time Nobody knows when it’s time to die

All I feel is the shadow of death Quarter day now gone Slipped one down and we're moving along There is no joy feeding my disease Cow, a wife, rotten milk for cheese On the drink through the day Set the stage of a horror play What I've done to my wife From screaming matches through the night Our minds from last night Our husks from this plight Holding back thoughts what I'll do The drip grips better than any man ever has a hope of slipping away Three lives taken the addict forsaken for what I've done I am not this man So part of routine it’s boiling green now part of his soul in possession Losing touch with the world was all he could control The last words spoken left love broken across his trembling hands pleading mercy Liquid muse to blame, like a cube to the flame, this man has melted away His life (consuming everything) Holy God (consuming everything) The drink (consuming everything) His life on the brink, Holy God to be seen, The drink is consuming everything All I see is the smile of death, shining down upon me All a man can do now is smile back His life (consuming everything) Holy God (consuming everything) The drink (consuming everything) His life on the brink, Holy God to be seen, The drink is consuming everything

Call of the Void 03:02
lyrics
buy track
For a moment I dare to contemplate Out of my body A different mental state I found euphoria Upon a ledge you see As I imagine the possibilities My thoughts they are of violence I hear the twisted call of the void More than paranoid a scream in silence I hear the twisted call of the void The gate is swinging open and closed onto the other side Will I have the courage to go into the blinding light A severed instinct No logic can explain It’s no vacation Self depri-capitation My thoughts they are of violence I hear the twisted call of the void More than paranoid a scream in silence I hear the twisted call of the void

Taken from everything they knew and taken to Strange territory and cruelty Horrific conditions atrocity hidden away from our history It’s hard to believe The evidence unearthed for all us to see But we can’t deny the loss of their lives Back in 1870 to well past 1995 Those behind this Tragic story Will be punished One way or the other They will pay for All the suffering They inflicted Be it on Earth or in Hell or both Here and now new graves are discovered everyday Underneath institutions of pain Buried when life has been stripped away Left and forgotten until today I can’t comprehend the reasons to put all those lives to an end In the ways they did with malicious intent Torture and rape used as regular consequence Those behind this Tragic story Will be punished One way or the other They will pay for All the suffering They inflicted Be it on Earth or in Hell or both Recognize, remember every 30th of September We reflect in solemn fashion we pay respect to all the victims of their neglect Despicable actions a culture wrecked we can’t forgive and we won’t forget I still can’t believe this took place for over a century And the shame the guilt for the blood that was spilt goddamn the motherfucking government who passed the bill Those behind this Tragic story Will be punished One way or the other They will pay for All the suffering They inflicted Be it on Earth or in Hell or both

The Hard Way 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Superstition your mind’s ambition To counter scientific position Misinformed brain deformed Suffer public scorn, unleashed and reborn With one quip Hit quick Screaming on the ground Who did this Living life is so nice Self assured it feels so right There is no end to your nonsense in sight They will find out They were wrong All along The Hard Way Truths dismissed by their side Ridicule facts celebrate lies There is no end to your nonsense in sight They will find out They were wrong All along The Hard Way Chaos hits Like teeth on brick Superstition you damned the mission To advocate your faulty position Vision quest, or white vest Limitations of patience are torn to shreds Skewered on the spit Never admit Misinformed they were warned To listen And now it's clear They will find out They were wrong All along The Hard Way Who did this?

Essentially Fucked 04:54
lyrics

I know your time is short at hand Now you’re sleeping wide awake One blink you slip away And then it’s time again You hit a wall at a quarter to three The air is thicker in the NGZ The solitary drive a short reprieve From the sun that never sets on EST Here come seventeen wheels to crush your neck Another man supplanted by a replicant Set forward by the rolling boulder Of industry to maul you over I hear the rolling gears Gains are essential, lives are expendable Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked From the panic stricken daydream rush To the old haunts looking like a Sunday dusk All fear the unspoken certainty The invisible enemy Stripped down, rusting Idle, while all the aristocrats ensure their survival In days I lost the years Gains are essential, lives are expendable Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked Their gains are made but life's the same for me My seeds won’t grow like the NYSE Here come 17 years to fill your head Brought forward when you’re one year older This industry will fuck you over We are essentially fucked Gains are essential, lives are expendable Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked

Twisted Past 06:06
lyrics

Skin is cold and eyes are wide As your memories come in the night Treading on your conscious life Coming on at any time Now for years it’s had a hold Getting older, so it grows Tipping mental harmony Get to know the inner me Told no one Twisted past Facing fear I won’t be it’s slave Looking out those twisted eyes Think of what you try to hide So imposed to turn away Have that feeling in the brain Vivid thoughts run up your knee Visions surpass fantasy Something real in human mind Moving through in serpentine Told no one Twisted past Facing fear I won’t be it’s slave Skin is cold and eyes are wide As your demons come back at night Mental growth of agony Slowly came a part of me Overcoming what has passed Not a victim to its grasp Tipping mental harmony Redefine my sanity Told no one Twisted past Facing fear I won’t be it’s slave
