 Fig 2: PEOPLE = SHIT
Here we go again, motherfucker
Come on down, and see the idiot right here
Too fucked to ged agn not afraid to care
Whats eh matter with calamity anyway
Right? Get the fuck outta my face
Understnd that I can't feel anything
It isn't like I wanna sift through thte decay
I feel like a wound like  I got a fucking
Gun against my head, you lice when im dead

One more time, motherfuker

Everybody hates me now, so fuck it
Bloods on my face and my hands and I
Don know why, im not afraid tocray
But tatsnone of you business
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Sp9n it around so I can spit in its face
I wana leace without a trace
Cuz I don't wanna die inthis place

People = Shit
People = Shit [whatcha gonna do?]
People = Shit [cuz I am not afraid of you]
People = Shit [im everything you'll never be]
People = Shit

It nevre stops - you can't be everything to everyone
Contagion - im sittin at the sie of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
Overdo- don't/ tell me you blew it
Step your bitchiiin and fight your way through it
IM - NOT - LIKE - YOU - I  - JUST - FUCK - UP
C'omon mother fucker everybody has to die

People = Shit
People = Shit [whatcha gonna do?]
People = Shit [cuz I am not afraid of you]
People = Shit [im everything you'll never be]
People = Shit


 Fig 3: DISASTERPIECE
I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound
I wanna push my face in and  feel the swoon
I wanna fig inside find  a little bit of me
Cuz the line gets crossed when you dont come clean

My wormweed meet your pesticide
You'll never get out cuz you were never alive
I am infinite I am the infant finite
Come a little closer and  I'll show you why

[NO ONE IS - SAFE]
 Noises noise people make noises
People make noises when they're sic
Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING

How does it feel to be locked inside another dream?
That never had a chance of being realized?
What eth fuck are you looking at?
I'll tell you what you're looking at
Everyone you ever fuckin laughed at

Look in my eyes for the answer - typical
I can feel it underneath like a miracle
Everybody in the world need more then
Lies and consequences to power them
Once against me and no one else
I can't remember if there was a someone else
Its not mine its not fair its outer my hands
And it s shaking you'll never take me

[NO ONE IS - SAFE]
 Noises noise people make noises
People make noises when they're sic
Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING

NOTHING

[HATE] hate aint enough to describe me
[SCREAM] somewhere between screaming and crying
im not supposed to be here
im not supposed to be

[WHY] when do I get to know why?
[BITTER] bitter as the stink of when I try
im not supposed to be here
im not supposed to be

Pull your hands away
Im gone -goodbye its so depressing
Withering away
Take a look -inside- my soul is missing
All I have is dead so I'll take you with mw
Feel like im erased so kill me just in case

[COVET] everything around me' mine
[STY]can't see through the sties in my eyes
im not supposed  to be here
im not supposed to be

[DOWN] scratching end clawing al the way
[STAY] you wont let me fucking stay
im not supposed  to be here
im not supposed to be


[LIVE] is there another way to live?
[DIE] cuz its the only way to die
im not supposed  to be here
im not supposed to be

 Fig 4: MY PLAGUE

 Im in conniptions for the final act you came her for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the
Everyeah bullshit things that you have done

Your impossible ego fuck is like a
Megalomaniacal  tab on my tongue
You fucking tough me I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that
Shit you call a heart

I don't mind being ogled ridiculed
Made to feel minuscule
If you consider the source its kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know abut me is…..
………….. that's all you'll every know

I know why you blame me [yourself]
I know why you plague me [yourself]

Im turning it around like a knife in the shell
I wanna understand why but Im hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it
I can't just drop it
Im just a bastard but at least I admit it
At least I admit it

I know why you blame me [yourself]
I know why you plague me [yourself]

Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you
Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you
I can't fuckin take it anymore
A snap of the synapse
And now its fuckin war
Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you

 Fig 5: EVERYTHING ENDS

You are wrong fucked and overrated
I think im goinna be sick and its your fault
This is the end of EVERYTHING
You are the end of EVERYTHING
I havne slept since I woke up
And found my whole life was a lie motherfucker
This is the end of EVERYTHING
You are the end of EVERYTHING

Shallow skin I can paint with pain
I mark the trails on my arms which your disdain
Everyday its the same - I love you hate
But I guess I dont care anymore
Fix my problems with the blade
While my eyes turn from blue to gray
god the worst thing happened to me today
But I guess I dont care anymore

You are wrong fucked and overrated
I think im gonna be sick and its your fault
This is the end of EVERYTHING
You are the end of EVERYTHING
I haven't slept since I woke up
And found my whole life was a lie motherfucker
This is the end of EVERYTHING
You are the end of EVERYTHING

My flaws are the only thing left that's pure
Cant really lice can't really endure
Everything I see reminds me of her
God I wish I didn't care anymore
The more I tough the less I feel
Im lying to myself that its not real
Why is everybody making such a big fucking deal?
Im never gonna care anymore

What the hell am I doing?
Is there anyone left in my life?
What t3he fuck was I thinking?
Anybody want to tell me im fine?
Where the hell am I going?
Do I even need a reason to hide?
I am only betrayed
I am only conditioned to die

 Fig 666: HERTIC ANTHEM

Im a pop star threat and im not dead yet
God a super dred bet with an angel drug head
Life a dead beat winner I want to be a sinner
An idolized bang for the industry killer
A hideous men that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party and im guaranteed to fucking snap
Its evilsonic its pornoholic
Breakdowns obscenities its all I wanna b

If your 555 then im 666
If your 555 then im 666
[whats it like to be a heretic?]

everybody's so infatuated
everybody's so completely sure of what we are
everybody defamates from miles away
but face to face they haven't got a thing to say
I bleed for this and I bleed for you
Still you look in my face like im somebody new
TOY nobody want anything ive got
Which is fine because youre made of
Everything - im - NOT

If your 555 then im 666
If your 555 then im 666
[whats it like to be a heretic?]

30 seconds a 16, 8, 4,  lemme tell you why
I haven't the slightest im teaching your brightest
Theyre listening clamoring
All the money in the world cant buy me
GO AHEAD LIE TO ME
Tell me again how your tortured
I wanna know hoe you followed your order so well
Your fell of SHIT
you had a dream but this aint it

 Fig 7: GENTLY

Gently my mind escapes in to the relaxing
World of pleasure a pleasure that'll take
My mind off the reality of my life
My past life…… life as  I know it now

And whatever may come it slowly
Disappears to somewhere in the back
Of my mind it will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it

Yes I will stay her for a while
For I need the break a break from the
Pressures of life and everything
That lays in the palm of lifes hands

This mode is inoredible its out of
This world too bad I must always leave it
But that's life

 Fig 8: LEFT BEHIND

I know I know the faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to
Calcify...

(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had to be a liar just to
Infiltrate me - I'm still drowning

(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away

Take...this...away...
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get too close

 Fig 9: THE SHAPE

Too tragic to stay with you
Too static to try for you
These scars,they swallow hard
The part of the past that's hollow and dark
Too horrid to kill for you
Too sordid to die with you
Unstable as always,come down
Everything else is just dust and sound

SEPARATE(I've lost my only way)
SEPARATE(I've lost my only way)
SEPARATE(I've lost my only way)
SEE THE SHAPE(Broken and thrown away)

I'd give it all away,come take it all away
You can't resent the fear
Somebody tell me how I got here
I'd give it all to you,come take it,it's all for you
The noise is so damn loud,but
Everything else is just dust and sound

I don't wanna do this anymore
Everything's shit - everything's been taken
Forsaken - gotta start it over cuz I'm hearing it
Backwards - DON'T make sense - DON'T feel better
Who's better?It's not that simple
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
It's not a word,it's a problem,the problem was easy
Draw your conclusions - solutions?
Anybody else wanna run?
Contorting,distorting - I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?

 Fig 10: I AM HATED

The whole world is my enemy - and I'm a walking target
Two times the devil with all the significance
Dragged and raped for the love of a mob
I can't stay - because I can't be stopped
Eat motherfuckers alive who cross us
I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses
Let me tell you how it's gonna be
I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me

Welcome to the same ol' fuckin' scam
Same ol shit in a dead fad
Everybody wants to be so hard
Are you real or a second rate sports card?
They all lost their dad or their wife just died
They never got to go outside - SHUT UP
Nobody gives a fuck
It doesn't change the fact that you suck

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down,we want you dead
But what's inside of me,you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool
But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so fuck you
Standing out is the new pretension
Streamline the (sic)ness,half-assed aggression
You gotta see it to believe it,we all got conned
All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned
Put your trust in the misson
We will not repent - this is our religion

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down,we want you dead
But what's inside of me,you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

I AM HATED
YOU ARE HATED
WE ARE HATED

Everything sucks and I can prove it
Everybody dies,shuffle on,remove it
Individuals,indispensable
I'm the paradox deity vessel
...the other side holds no secret
But this side is done.I don't need it
Before you go,you should know you're breaking down
You'll be rotten be the time you're underground

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down,we want you dead
But what's inside of me,you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

(We are) The source of conscience
(We are) Distorted sentients
There's only one thing left
And I can't leave until it's sated
(We are) The absolute
(We are) Controlling you
They're closing in,I can't escape
I AM HATED

 Fig 11: SKIN TICKET

Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Cancer and people conspire together
Running and running and going forever
Collected and sampled,starving for zero

Come see my cage - built in my grain

Minus the inside and minus the circle
Inhabhit the riddle and fill in the hovel
Wherein and herein,between us and near us
Zero and zero is nothing but zero

Come see my cage - built-in migraine

Keeping myself alive...
through your EMPATHY

 Fig 12: NEW ABORTION

I'm ethereal,my children are legion,serial
They stick to my skin like beloved cysts
I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists
Touch the hands of inverted saints
Follow my heart through the threaded pain
Callow man is a sentinel screaming
I see the future,the future is bleeding

Sores,every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now
Like a virus,you will never kill me now
Goin' underground,comin'on like hepatitis
We're out - and you can't reshape us
Another bug in the construct
Tearin' up the main bus B
Zeros and ones are everything - execute me

Everywhere you look,it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL
This is where the line is drawn,see
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

What do you need to see? Ya feel the impact?
Gotta retract - everybody get back
What is this? It's like a big conspiracy
Fields of dejected morbid progeny
They always say that it's always our fault
But everything we say is taken with a grain of salt
Man,it's always the same,if we talk or complain
We only wanna upset the balance
How's it feel to be the New Abortion?
The only generation to suffer extortion

Everywhere you look,it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL
This is where the line is drawn,see
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

 Fig 13: METABOLIC

Gone - I couldn't murder your promise
Right before my eyes
The revolutions of my psychosis
Kept me outta the way

Once - inside - all I hold is ash

Fall - suppressing every feeling
I'm in so much pain
I have every fuckin' right to hate you
I can't take it!
The hardest part was knowing that I couldn never be you
Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you

My demise - I took a life wortj living and
Made it worth a mockery
I deny - I fold,but they keep on coming
(Stop) I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me

Who are you to me? Who am I to you?
Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?
By default,you are my only link to the outside
Psychosomatic suicide
Where were you when I was down?
Can you show me a way...
To face everyday with this face - goodbye

My demise - I took a life wortj living and
Made it worth a mockery
I deny - I fold,but they keep on coming
(Stop) I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me

When I blur my eyes,they make the whole
World breathe - I see you fucking me
And I am absolutely controlling every urge
To mutilate - the one and only answer
So much for memories...
I wanna dress in your insecurities
And be the perfect you - I'm through
I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe
Here we go - the ultimate iron

 Fig 14: IOWA

relax.....its over you belong to me
i fill your mouth with dirt
