I can't help but feel betrayed
by all the people that I hate,
Damn it's hard to change my ways,
I guess I'm content to stay the same
And you're content to lie your way
through every word and everything
You've got no guts and got no soul
You're just as fake as the lies you told
And so you take it from me
Everything I worked hard to achieve.
Instead of changing your ways,
you take out your frustration on me.
And while you're at it you can burn my house down,
take credit for the things I found.
You avoid the consequence,
Regret the life you spent
YEA!
I stayed behind while you rolled along,
content playing the same old songs.
Being here is just so wrong.
Virginia's good, but I don't belong.
And you'll still be here.
And I'll be gone.
You're nothing to fear,
just a child gone wrong.
And I've lost all respect for your friends,
your hell never ends.
I'm speaking from the heart,
'You lost who you are.'
You can burn my house down,
Take credit for the things I found.
You avoid the consequence,
Regret the life you spent.
I burn like hell with my soul for sale,
Burn like a dime down a wishing well.
Tossed to the bottom where no light prevails
yeah, I burn like hell with my soul for sale.

Of Vermin & Men

Something's wrong and my eyes are drawn,
and my skin crawls so i beat it off.
I'm sure that I'm alone.
So I wonder then, in my mind,
if it's all a scam, all these years gone by
I'm not sure I want to know.
It can keep me up at night,
all the sirens and obscene lights,
who the hell do they think they are?
I just want them to accept,
that there might be a problem, except,
I know they'd throw me away.
And I'm trashed so here I lay.
Chorus:
I am an Insect
I am a Reject
Nobody knows it
Cuz I haven't told them yet.
Staring a spider crawl,
laying its webs from wall to wall.
I'm sure that it's alone.
So I wonder then, in my mind,
if a thousand legions of gnats and flies
could rise up and overthrow.
Then it catches its prey in the ropes!
So here I find myself again,
another solo, late-night drinking binge.
All these nights just seem the same.
Ever since those dudes ran that alcohol,
picked up in the back alley of some shady mall.
Breaking the law doesn't seem so strange.
I am an Insect
I am a Reject
Nobody knows it
Cuz I haven't told them yet.

Kiss Me Goodbye

Kiss me goodbye, I'm on my own,
Headed towards a life alone.
Kiss me goodbye, I'm standing strong,
Lost all my friends, where I belong.
Now I'm headed back from the coast,
Now I'm headed back towards my home.
Kiss me goodbye, I've lost my cool.
I'm anxious and I'm strange, but what else is new?
Cuz I admit, I'm a bit predictable,
and you may have seen me before.
But I've got what it takes to make it face down on the bathroom floor
I'm not ready to close my eyes, no I'm not drifting off.
I'm not drifting,
I'm not drifting off.
I've lost a few things I care about, I've lost a few things I can't live without.
I've always been one to do things by myself.
I've always been one to create my own hell.
Friends that I left behind don't even miss me.
Why they ever liked me? It's still a mystery
It's still a mystery!
Kiss me goodbye, I'm on my own
Kiss me goodbye, I'm on my own!
Blah ba ba da ba

Seed

Today will consist of sleeping in,
forgetting everything about myself, and all that's happened.
The Sun's blazing fingers slither in between the shades,
Caress my face and bully me awake.
The seed took hold in 2004,
my discretion and poise walked right out the door.
Sprung from my cave, I set out to lose,
the truth from within where it once laid mute.
But my luck ran short and I cast my lots and got nailed upon a cross.
Do you still believe in love?
Do you still believe in love?
Now the devil moves from home to home.
I pass him straight when I feel alone.
Because in spite of my judgement, I miss the grand emotional spectacles that shook the land.
The days when my demon called me its man and openly held my hand.
Do you still believe in love?
Do you believe in us or are we wasting our time?
I spent the last several months just losing my mind.
Have I been walking in circles or is it just the drugs?
I've been waiting enough time for a sign from Above.
Do you believe in us?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Do you believe in love?

You've got something you don't want me to hear.
You don't have to whisper, my ears are pretty bad anyways.
And besides, I can take it, I've been through worse things like getting arrested.
You don't have to shelter me just cuz I want to kiss you.
And I think that you're down to kiss me too.
You're in my blood, and you're in my body.
I had a dream where you're laying on me,
I woke up to find that it wasn't true.
You are my ecstasy.
I will consume.
You confuse me.
Is that coming through?
Chorus:
Am I too easily lost in translation?
I think what i'm feeling goes without saying,
But screaming? Screaming gets the point across clearly
Dreams are my drug now, I can't get enough.
I guess that's an excuse to never wake up.
I'm slamming my head on the wall every morning cuz I'm disappointed,
Yeah I'm disappointed.
Like a book with a terrible endind,
A father whose son gets arrested.
When nothing turns out the way you want it to,
Well that's life and you have to get used to it.
I have to get used to this.
Chorus x2
Am I too easily lost in translation?
I think what i'm feeling goes without saying,
But screaming? Screaming gets the point across clearly

Hubris
03:32

Let’s wear our birthday suits to bed
Rock n roll’s not dead
Rock n roll’s not dead
With its glorified beer-basted dance floors
And bohemian whores
Cause let’s just say
I have a tendency to lust
After girls I have no business
With being in love
But anything is better than drugs
So they say but both rape my blood
This is the beginning of the end
This is how I lose my mind
And misplace my friends
I am sinking, A sailor tossed
But in my hubris I will brave the rocks
And as I match the waves with my shield in hand
The sea will claim another man
I’m feeling self-destructive again
But I know how this ends
Here with the medicine
Cause I’ll crash and burn on the floor
While my body contorts
I’ll just say
What I need now is anything
To pull me through this
But save your pretty sympathy
For someone a little less like me
This is the beginning of the end
This is where I lose my mind
And misplace my friends
I am sinking, A sailor tossed
But in my hubris I will brave the rocks
And as I match the waves with my shield in hand
The sea will claim another man
My symphony is brazen brass and broken glass (x4)
