Is this the end of my life or just the end of the world Skeletons rule the cities as the innocent burn And if you stand up and fight with your black flag tonight They'll put tape on your mouth as they kiss you goodbye
Dance [x4] Come dance with me, come dance with me Dance [x4] Dance Dance, come dance, come dance with me
You know you can't stay neutral On a moving train So pick a fucking side And place the blame 'Cause there's nothing worse than a bird with wings who doesn't fly
So wake up and smell the flowers today Don't they reek of shit and bloody money There's not an ounce of love that's left in the world You're not alive any more your a possible sale
Dance [x4] Come dance with me, come dance with me Dance [x4] Dance Dance, come dance, come dance with me
You know you can't stay neutral On a moving train So pick a fucking side And place the blame 'Cause there's nothing worse than a bird with wings who doesn't fly

"Bad Reputation"

"Bastard Son"
Daddy where did you go, When I was five years old? My newborn sister left crying in her crib. Now with this shiny blade I'm slicing not to make my heart and relationship to you
I have become the bastard son The bitch of everyone The failure I've become
No one thinks it's a lot to go to hell You're all right so better leave it well These words are running through my mind Turn your back on all your kids Just look at what you did Just another bastard son like me
I have become the bastard son The bitch of everyone The failure I've become
I have become the bastard son The bitch of everyone The failure I've become
You've failed all of your kids An eternity of blind hate Flows from your diamond rings And the souls you smoke Mock your face in hell
Lies They're coming back to life Coming back to lies They're coming back to me The revenge of a five year old boy
Lies They're coming back to life Coming back to lies They're coming back to me The revenge of a five year old boy
"Cinco De Mayo"
This town had sunk its teeth Deep inside of me and now it's a struggle just to breath
And this used to be my own safety the sidewalks, they're torn up and the memories are grey I'd rather keep them all that way
Cuz I can't relive all of those nights when I was afraid that I wouldn't ever be the same when I was shaking in a cold sweat cursing all the pain I've had I can't go back to all this! (the pain I've had) I can't go back to all this now
Look at me I'm a mess a mess of everything that I never wanted to be
I can't repeat I can't relive all of those nights when I was afraid that I wouldn't ever be the same when I was shaking in a cold sweat cursing all the pain I've had I can't go back to all this (the pain I've had) I can't go back to all this I can't go back to all this NOW
All of those nights when I was afraid that I wouldn't ever be the same when I was shaking in a cold sweat cursing all the pain I've had I can't go back to all this (the pain I've had) I can't go back to all this I can't go back to all this NOW!
"Hope Is Gone"
As this cup empties, I slowly fade from me. As day's torn by night, We drift from sight.
And as hope drifts away, We're left with broken dreams and memories.
Lead us through this one, And you'll find hope is gone.
Please don't fade away. Use your mind and fly. False memories of life Never lived.
"Institutionalized"
[Originally by Suicidal Tendencies]
Sometimes I try to do things, and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. And I get real frustrated and like I try hard to do it. I like take my time and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. It's like I concentrate on it real hard and it just doesn't work out And Everything I do and everything I try it never turns out. It's like I need time to figure these things out. There's always someone there going
Hey Buddy: You know, we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately. You know, you need to maybe get away and like maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better
I go: No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work it out myself.
And they go: Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it, so why don't you talk about it?
I go: No. I don't want to talk about it. I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself but they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside.
So you're gonna be institutionalized You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes You won't have anything to say They'll brainwash you until you see their way.
I'm not crazy (being institutionalized) You're the one who's crazy (being institutionalized) You're driving me crazy (being institutionalized)
They stuck me in an institution Said it was the only solution to give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself
I was in my room and I was like just sitting there staring at the wall thinking about everything but then again I was thinking about nothing And my mom came in and I didn't even realize she was there and she calls my name but I didn't even hear it, and she started screaming BUDDY! BUDDY! And I go: What, what's the matter? And she goes: What's the matter with you? I go: There's nothing-wrong Mom. And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a pepsi? And she goes: NO you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking. She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way! I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi please All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me. Just a Pepsi.
They give you a white shirt with long sleeves Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves Drug you up because they're lazy It's too much work to help a crazy
I'm not crazy (being institutionalized) You're the one who's crazy (being institutionalized) You're driving me crazy (being institutionalized)
They stuck me in an institution Said it was the only solution To give me the needed professional help To protect me from the enemy, myself
I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down and they go: Buddy, we need to talk to you And I go: Okay what's the matter? They go: Me and your mom we've been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems, you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody, we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself. So we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need. And I go: Wait, what are you talking about, WE decided!? MY best interest?! How do you know what MY best interest is? How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'M crazy? When I went to YOUR schools, when I went to YOUR churches, when I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities?! How can you say I'm crazy?
They say they're gonna fix my brain Alleviate my suffering and my pain But by the time they fix my head Mentally I'll be dead
I'm not crazy (being institutionalized) You're the one who's crazy (being institutionalized) You're driving me crazy (being institutionalized)
They stuck me in an institution Said it was the only solution To give me the needed professional help To protect me from the enemy, myself
It doesn't matter. I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.
"Stretch Your Legs To Coffin Length"
Today my past Has come alive to eat All of the guts that I use to just keep my feet Moving left and right As my legs shake like trees Oh how I curse the heavens for not taken me
GOD DAMN This whole mess that’s me I DON’T TRUST MYSELF I’m in way too deep And every night I erase the day With the strongest drinks they’ll give to me
And I awake Much to my dismay To find that I’m still staring at the same ceiling I just wish once I could get this right And have the angels from the south take me at night
GOD DAMN This whole mess that’s me I DON’T TRUST MYSELF I’m in way too deep And every night I erase the day With the strongest drinks they’ll give to me
And all I have is meaningless And all I found is nothingness In this self loathing sickness [x2]
GOD DAMN This whole mess that’s me I DON’T TRUST MYSELF I’m in way too deep And every night I erase the day With the strongest drinks they’ll give to me
And all I have is meaningless And all I found is nothingness
"Suburban Heartache"
Stainless heart that never speaks, Reads like a story never sold.
What if you just forgot, what you were told?
You can't replace, You can't retract, You can't forget To get what's back.
And the rain keeps falling down. And the rain keeps falling upon my face.
I look in my shattered mirror. Pieces of me is all I see. Shattered, broken and misplaced. What do I have to say?
I'm just another suburban heartache, Blending to waste away.
