Static You sit around day and night You’re motionless With no drive or fight You don’t know what it is You’re static and that’s a fact That’s what this is Maybe you just need a smack To wake you up from this You’re static and you’ll pay You can say goodbye to hopes and dreams Life’s too fucking short, or so the say Don’t just sit around and waste away Static When will you ever learn You can’t sit still Comatose and paralyzed So deathly ill If you just sit around You won't fulfill You’ll just stay on the ground Waiting to be killed By static, and you’ll pay You can say goodbye to hopes and dreams Life’s too fucking short, or so the say Don’t just sit around and waste away No Don’t you dare Fucking waste away Not this time Don’t you see I am your worth I am your push Been lying dormant for much longer than I should It’s time I rip the skin You’ve got me living in It’s time I show you what I’ve always fucking been Static, and you’ll pay You can say goodbye to hopes and dreams Life’s too fucking short, or so the say Don’t just sit around and waste away

When you think back on all you’ve done Were you right or were you wrong? Who was with you? Yeah, who was there? Do you remember? Do you care? What goes around it comes around And now nobody’s with you now I believe this to be true You look in the mirror then you’ll see it too Time flies when you’re having fun Talking shit on everyone You’ve got no life and you’ve got no friends And it will be that way until your bitter end R-E-S-P-E-C-T Once I get it from you then you’ll get it from me It’s not hard to understand I can count the reasons on my hand I’m so sick of all the praise you require I can’t see past what has transpired Something tells me I’m not getting through You have a choice, what will you do? Time flies when you’re having fun Talking shit on everyone You’ve got no life and you’ve got no friends And it will be that way until your bitter end When you were a kid did you know That when you grew up you would be this cold? Probably not, but you never know If you could do it again Do you think you’d do anything different? Probably not, but you never know But you never know Time flies when you’re having fun Talking shit on everyone You’ve got no life and you’ve got no friends And it will be that way until your bitter end You can’t live a life of negativity And wonder why you’ve lost

Smoke Screen 02:02
I want the truth Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you I see you try to walk a straight line Trying to cover up the truth I see you putting up a smoke screen That I can see right through But not everything is black and white Some things are grey Why don’t you try to open up What do you say I want the truth Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you Wouldn’t you We’re all in this together That’s right We’re all in this together Your silence is deafening I can suddenly hear Now that the smoke is gone It’s finally clear I told you right from the start Just to let it go I said the truth would surface And what do you know What do you know What do you know What do you know What do you know I want the truth Yeah, wouldn’t you If you were me And I were you We’re all in this together That’s right We’re all in this together I want the truth

Hey hey hey hey Remember me? I knew you once Called you a friend Stabbed in the back Never again Brought to a bitter end Hey hey hey hey Remember me? It must be nice To shut your eyes Never again Fuck your advice It’s not worth the price So tell me Do you like what you see? You fooled me once So please be honest with me Tell me Is this what you need? Don’t waste my time I can’t read your mind Please be honest with me Hey hey hey hey Remember me? Where’d you go? Left me behind Out of sight Out of mind You left me behind Hey hey hey hey Remember me? Someday soon You will know What it’s like To be on your own Alone and unknown So tell me Do you like what you see? You fooled me once So please be honest with me Tell me Is this what you need? Don’t waste my time I can’t read your mind Please be honest with me Just another day to you Another faint feeling of deja vu Must’ve given some piece of mind Just to leave it all behind I should have seen it meant nothing to you A memory of someone you knew It meant so much more to me A reason to breathe, a reason to be Hey hey hey hey Remember me? You lost my trust Survival’s a must Ash to ash Dust to dust Survival’s a must Hey hey hey hey Remember me? Forget about it And readjust Ash to ash Dust to dust Goodbye and good luck So tell me Do you like what you see? You fooled me once So please be honest with me Tell me Is this what you need? Don’t waste my time I can’t read your mind Please be honest with me Please be honest with me

My head implodes I don’t feel anymore I’ve had enough and I’m not even keeping score I’ve tied and I’ve failed Keeping control Seems it’s catching up with me And I’m coming off the rails I’m gonna lose control Like a bomb is going off inside my skull I’m gonna lose control And I don’t think I can take it anymore My brain explodes Don’t need it anymore I’ve had it rough, yeah Don’t even fucking know I’ve tried and I’ve failed Keeping control My mental state is on the edge And I know it won’t take long I’m gonna lose control Like a bomb is going off inside my skull I’m gonna lose control And I don’t think I can take it anymore I tried and I tried to contain it I fucking failed I hoped I could somehow maintain it Oh fucking well It’s like my brain is upside down inside my head I’m sick of reaching out, I’ll keeping it to myself instead It’s like my brain is upside down inside my head Can’t take this stress and now I know I’ll just explode again I’m gonna lose control Like a bomb is going off inside my skull I’m gonna lose control And I don’t think I can take it anymore Yeah I’m gonna lose control I’m gonna lose control I’m gonna lose con-fucking-trol

I’ve only got one trick And it goes like this I find a nice place to hide Where I know you’ll fly by When I see you with My twenty-something eyes I’ll shoot you with poison Because I’m too afraid to fight And I’ll spin you into a web Not a meal, but for fun instead Spin spin spin ‘Til you’re wrapped from toe to head And I’ll wrap you up so tight You’ll decay from the inside So you rot rot rot ‘Til time has made you ripe I’ve got so much pride Take a look at my stripes You’re no match for my fangs They’re the venomous kind Never thought I would die Then one day it was time I was eaten alive by my young Who did it so that they could survive No more spinning you in webs At least not me, because I’ll be dead I’ll die die die To make the ultimate sacrifice And I wish that I had time To explain what I learned in life So they won’t won’t won’t Have to relive all my strife And now that they’ve grown I’ll reap what I sow All the pain that I caused Will soon be my own And now that this world’s theirs And now knowing what I know I hope they can break the cycle I hope they can break the cycle I hope they can break the cycle I hope they can break the cycle

You get under my skin Needles and pins Just the thought of you Makes me fucking cringe I try to tell myself I don’t need that shit But there you are again Back into my head You get under my skin You get under my skin And I can never win You get under my skin Like words on a page Written in pen I can’t shake you off You’re soaking deep within I try to tell myself That you don’t exist But here you are again All up in my shit You get under my skin You get under my skin And I can never win You get under my skin Under my fucking skin Welcome to my veins you parasite Under my skin Make yourself oh so very warm Under my skin My skeleton, your house’s bones Under my skin Yeah, you’ll come with me wherever I go Under my skin Under my fucking skin You get under my skin You get under my skin And I can never win You get under my skin I stopped keeping track because I know how it ends

Stand up If you truly believe in what's right And you think that it’s worth the fight Then get off your fucking ass Bring the match and I’ll bring the gas You gotta stand up And unite Sometimes you gotta fight fire With fire Stand up and fight So who’s gonna take them down If we’re stuck here on the ground Can’t you fucking see That it’s up to you and me You gotta stand up And unite Sometimes you gotta fight fire With fire Stand up and fight It just takes one spark To make a real change To make a change You gotta do your part Light ‘em up in flames Up in flames Up in flames If you wanna bring those fuckers down You gotta stand up And unite Sometimes you gotta fight fire With fire Stand up and fight

Why do I get the feeling You’re trying to change my mind I’ve told you once before Do you need me to rewind What I feel inside, I’ve felt for a long time And those beliefs are mine They make me who I am Part of my design You’ve got to Stay true to What you Believe Did I ask for your opinion Did I ask you what you think Do I need to say it again Have you had too much to drink What I feel inside, are my beliefs And they make me unique I will never change my mind I will never be that weak You’ve got to Stay true to What you Believe You can say what you want But I’m not listening I don’t care about Things you say, things that you do All I care about Is everything I hold true I’m not listening Save your breath Because I’m not listening I’m not listening Not listening I’m not listening You’ve got to Stay true to What you What you believe

What will it take To get you to think about how eating meat is wrong? If you look into their eyes Will you still feel strong? We’ve gotta change Each and every one of us We’ve gotta change Nothing left to discuss The damage we’ve done won’t fix itself It’s with the choices that we make What will it take To get you to think about how one in four will die? From heart disease in the USA Man, that sure seems high We’ve gotta change Each and every one of us We’ve gotta change Nothing left to discuss The damage we’ve done won’t fix itself It’s with the choices that we make Their fate is at the mercy Of your choice and what will it be? A cruel industry of relentless suffering? Or compassion and empathy? Your cognitive dissonance Brings a devastating consequence What will it take To get you to think about the global effects of this? The cost it takes to stuff your face We’re killing the planet We’ve gotta change today
14.
Open your eyes and see Open your eyes and see Open your eyes and see Open your eyes and see Open your eyes A chamber of lies Echoing voices inside of our minds Like vultures they find Self serving thoughts They’re cruel and unkind Again and again The misinformation It spreads like a trend And no time to spend All we can hope for is light at the end And every time we try to talk about it The blind lead the blind But we’ve gotta do something about it Just Open your eyes Avoid the disaster Total disorder And nothing will matter And what will come after? Society’s fall Accelerates faster We’re getting colder and colder Further away even as we get older Unlearn the culture The one who defies will outrun the vultures And every time we try to talk about it The blind lead the blind But we’ve gotta do something about it Just Open your eyes Living your life with blinders on You’re all caught up in the shit storm The Information Overlord controls you With misinformation, disinformation Deformed society, deformed state Total disorder, total disaster Rise from the filth Rise from the filth Our way of life is your demise Now open up your fucking eyes Open your eyes and see The world around you Open your eyes and see The filth that surrounds you Open your eyes and see That it drowns you Open your eyes and see The world around you Open your eyes and see The filth that surrounds you Open your eyes and see That it drowns you Open your eyes and see That it drowns you
