Girl, you use my grief as ammunition And I wonder if you notice And I know it's been a while And so I'm running out of focus While we can point out the blame I don't see it being as one-sided as you see Oh, just sit there and don't talk All this back and forth has got me pissed off Tell me to communicate But honestly, I feel like we ain't growing (growing) Saying it'd be easier for you if I would lay it in the open (open) And that's hopeless with my point misconstrued And it comes back to you Oh, no, no What I bring? Not a thing Say it's my fault, and that's fine But I'll still give you everything Won't you take it in, take it in? Now, I'm feeling a drift And I'm not really sure if you're feeling me lately Are we needing a shift? Oh, you think better off? Now I know that we're crazy While we can point out the blame I don't see it being as one sided as you see But if it need be, when it needn't be, it's like I can see that you've been waiting You've been holding out for me to say it These words go far, so let's just save it Baby, I'ma need some patience And while it's more of the same I'll lay down my pride, act right by your side (You'll be) I'll be needing you, like you're needing me, in time Oh, no, no What I bring? Not a thing (not a thing) Say it's my fault, and that's fine But I'll still give you everything (everything) Won't you take it in, take it in? (Won't you take it in, take it in?)

And it kills when I oppose you Hate to see it More to leave it I'll do everything I'm supposed to, oh-woah (oh-woah) What I bring? Not a thing (not a thing, not a thing) Say it's my fault, and that's fine But I'll still give you everything (everything) Won't you take it in, take it in?

96 Quite Bitter Beings With my perceptions in a mix Down twenty miles through the sticks To the cloudy town of Hellview: Population 96 Excessive vacancy, well maybe In the shadow of an eye All the strangers pass right through Where the rules just don't apply At the fork turn left a store But on the right stay free from sight 'Cause 96 quite bitter beings Like to stack the bodies high The only way to ever leave is Over flooded by the storm And entanglement in Hellview Brings you fear in fifty forms They've deleted all the tourists At the bottom of the lake And not one supports the cause To leave the blood stay in the veins Here, three miles back is where we are All we ever wanted was an answer Civilized are close but way too far All we ever wanted was an answer Footprints giving clue to where we are All we ever wanted was an answer Civilized are close but way too far All we ever wanted...

I've seen it done like the way the dogs do I'll think it over, we're standing into Your phony life but now it's all dry Can't take it you will see Not more than others... your phony life Like I don't hear them, But I'll tell you something else When we get to the desert it's out What we left in the past... it tears me up Pulled into a truck stop... my luck is over The plan is failing... I think not What we left in the past... it tears me up It's not what you're used to In the middle of nowhere But I'm an old man And I love to wander distantly Your phony life and now it's all dry If it seemed that I had myself controlled... That's a lie

I can't deny it all my life It's the token of my life Something you would try For the best in the obscene Just look on the tv screen To pass away the while It doesnt matter if you're Red, black, or in the sack I've got my grip, I've got a hold Nothing ties one down like prime time in hi-fi But now it's getting old People stop and stare Here, there, and everywhere They've got the blueprints for life They keep pretending The world is ending You'll be fictionized So stop the human drive The fierce power switching on the Ripe adolescent light Terminates in five The people standing in the lines Have seen the film a million times With a pocket full of dimes So unless it is for free You'll spin the country on it's side To be intensified People stop and stare Here, there, and everywhere They've got the blueprints for life They keep pretending The world is ending You'll be fictionized It's on this tv It's on that tv It's on your tv It's on my tv It's on his tv It's on her tv It's on this tv It's on your tv screen You'll keep pretending That the world is ending... You'll be fictionized

Danger up ahead Just ignore the warning signs instead Toughen up and break the rules that hold you down Smash the glass, shoot straight Don't look back, we wear the mask of fate Just live your life loud and proud Don't back down Live your life, take a risk We'll never die in the afterworld In the end, start again We'll stay alive in the afterworld Live your life, take a risk There's no goodbye in the afterworld In the end, start again We'll never die in the afterworld Die When we wanna, you know we're gonna Die When we wanna, you know we gotta Die When we wanna, you know we will Die Have yourself some fun Turn the safety off the fucking gun Get off your ass Today starts now Live your life, take a risk We'll never die in the afterworld In the end, start again We'll stay alive in the afterworld Live your life, take a risk There's no goodbye in the afterworld In the end, start again We'll never die in the afterworld Die When we wanna, you know we're gonna Die When we wanna, you know we gotta Die When we wanna, you know we will Die

I have no pity I have only hate Love to see you suffer I'm obviously doing great And I'm high in the desert Wild like a wind Proud to be a genius The meanest I've ever been You need attention You're replaceable And have I failed to mention? You're replaceable Yeah you're replaceable My mind is my weapon Strong from within And I will live forever The phoenix is born again Yet you lie, deny, and steal Delusional for real So when you're in my presence You should fuckin' kneel You need attention You're replaceable And have I failed to mention? You're replaceable Yeah you're replaceable You need attention You're replaceable And have I failed to mention? You're replaceable Yeah you're replaceable You need attention You're replaceable And have I failed to mention? You're replaceable Yeah you're replaceable

The fire dies on it's own Leaving us to ourselfs but not exactly alone I think that someone is out there waiting Anticipation has grown The air is black as can be Can't even see that my hand is infront of me I'm overhearind a whisper "they won't escape until the blood is set free" So turn back the silence is deafening Turn back don't let them see you again They make their rounds at the midnight hour and On the clock it's just a minute away So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed And the huger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease Now I'm finding my friends Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barb wired fence I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey... I enjoy the intense Turn back the silence is deafening Turn back don't let them see you again They make their rounds at the midnight hour and On the clock it's just a minute awey So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed And the hunger for the living helps then hunt it with the greatest of ease No experience could never match the sight of when a person is through If it's the last thing I will do i'll be the one who will escape from hellview... and I will Turn back the silence is deafening Turn back don't let them see you again They make the rounds at the midnight hour and On the clock it's just a minute away so we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease No experience could ever match the sight of when a person is through If it's the last thing I will do I'll be the one that will escape from hellview... and I will.
