I killed the cat

Driving down the freeway in my car
I killed the cat
Doing ten or twenty above the speed of light
I don’t want to sound morbid, but
I killed the cat
When I hit that pussy it really took flight

Cuz, I hit the cat or the cat hit me
I guess that satisfied his curiosity
9 lives left minus one from me
Now I know that cats don’t always land on their feet

Little furry flying ball of doom
I killed the cat
Flew though a window, landed on a plate
The little motherfucker stood right up
I killed the cat
The cat was all right, now isn’t that great

Cuz, I hit the cat or the cat hit me
I guess that satisfied his curiosity
9 lives left minus one from me
Now I know that cats don’t always land on their feet

The moral of the story is just this
I killed the cat
Cats don’t die, they just multiply
But don’t worry ‘bout no scary zombie cats
I killed the cat
Sit back, relax, and I’ll tell you why

Cuz, I hit the cat or the cat hit me
I guess that satisfied his curiosity
9 lives left minus one from me
Now I know that cats don’t always land on their feet

Yes, I hit the cat or the cat hit me
I guess that satisfied his curiosity
9 lives left minus one from me
Now I know that cats don’t always land on their feet

Undressing the skin

Trickle down my arm
Off my fingertips
Making the ground red
Nerve endings gone, dead
Dropping implement
Of my poor malcontent
Making my bed wet
Mingling with my sweat

It’s like undressing permanently
Bare my flesh for all to see
People gawk or stare in shame
None admit they feel the same

I know what lies beneath my skin
I know the price I pay for sin
I know the enemy’s within
I know, I can’t help but do it again

How enlightening
To see so much of me
Flowing from my head
Screaming in my bed
A simple pass or two
The skin just comes unglued
Slipping falling down
Slipping to the ground

It’s like undressing permanently
Bare my flesh for all to see
People gawk or stare in shame
None admit they feel the same

I know what lies beneath my skin
I know the price I pay for sin
I know the enemy’s within
I know, I can’t help but do it again

Try and brace
As gravity takes my body
Pulling me downwards
Pulling me forwards
Too weak to stand or cry out
No return, this escape
Eyes heavy clever
Eyes close forever

It’s like undressing permanently
Bare my flesh for all to see
People gawk or stare in shame
None admit they feel the same

I know what lies beneath my skin
I know the price I pay for sin
I know the enemy’s within
I know, I can’t help but do it again

Silver and sharpened
With crimson rusted
My pale clothing
Beauty and loathing
As seconds tick by
A lighter shade of white
Eyes turning hazy
Eyes of a failure

It’s like undressing permanently
Bare my flesh for all to see
People gawk or stare in shame
None admit they feel the same

I know what lies beneath my skin
I know the price I pay for sin
I know the enemy’s within
I know, I can’t help but do it again

Harmonic Mindfall

Harmony’s dying
Can’t you see what they’re trying to do?
Hear them whisper
Watch me blister, I’m through
You told me it’s
all ok, as long as I have you
I fake strength but
inside, I’m no stronger than you

Can’t we stem the tide?
Or should we watch it die
Fracture in my mind
You didn’t even try
Angels go to devils
Truth comes to lies
Why did I trust your words?
Never trust those eyes

Harmony’s crying
On the floor, she’s lying in pain
All this deceit
featured prominently framed
Artist’s ego
Ergo, you had to sign your name
Can’t let bygones
be gone, you’re fucking insane

Can’t we stem the tide?
Or should we watch it die
Fracture in my mind
You didn’t even try
Angels go to devils
Truth comes to lies
Why did I trust your words?
Never trust those eyes

Perfect Beauty

The ceilings painted blue and white
Changes color with approaching night
The darkness cloaks your perfect skin
The moonlight bathes your beauty again
Shadows are our only company
Tonight there is only you and me
Beauty incarnate, perfection in black
Hair flowing wildly down your back

Perfect beauty
Perfect to me
Perfect beauty
You are so perfect to me

Flawlessly covered in ink
Deadly when you think
Your bites send pleasure and pain
You sanctify with you blood again
Metal pierces delicate flesh
You are the bringer of death
I am reborn in you
You have nothing to prove

Perfect beauty
Perfect to me
Perfect beauty
You are so perfect to me

You look so innocent
But so many men lament
Broken and shattered by you
Standing there, so beautiful
When you are holding me
An angel of death is all I see
Enchanted by your charms
I would gladly die in your arms

Perfect beauty
Perfect to me
Perfect beauty
You are so perfect to me

A freak of nature exists
Frightening when she gets pissed
Sometimes she pushes me away
In her heart she wants me to stay
Physically immune from pain
She laughs and says do it again
As fragile as a flower can die
Inside she still can cry

Perfect beauty
Perfect to me
Perfect beauty
Perfect, why can’t she see…

Fragile Error

Destroyed
In a light sprinkle
Not built to last
To begin with

Fragile
And timid
Scared into
Self implosion

Not much
Needed
To have
Conceded
In the
End
Should have
Never been

Interrupted division of light
I just wish I could leave me alone
Intermittent disruption of sight
I just wish I could leave me alone
Static masquerading as sound
I just wish I could leave me alone
Skipping fluttered heartbeat found
I just wish I could leave me alone

Creation
Just takes time
Undone
Given the word

One second
Falling apart
9 to make
Gone in a day

Too much
Time
Wasted on
Nothing
Crumbled at
Moonlight
Should have
Never been

Interrupted division of light
I just wish I could leave me alone
Intermittent disruption of sight
I just wish I could leave me alone
Static masquerading as sound
I just wish I could leave me alone
Skipping fluttered heartbeat found
I just wish I could leave me alone


Warmth and
Coldness below
Both grow
Simultaneously

A leak
Faulty
Clean up
In the street

The lights
The life
The men
Chattering
The frowns
Look bad
Should have
Never been

Interrupted division of light
I just wish I could leave me alone
Intermittent disruption of sight
I just wish I could leave me alone
Static masquerading as sound
I just wish I could leave me alone
Skipping fluttered heartbeat found
I just wish I could leave me alone

Last chance
To hold on
Not my choice
Just my will

Losing
Soon to be lost
Forever
Moment stopped

I have
All the
Time in
The world
Freeze frame
This life
Should have
Never been

Interrupted division of light
I just wish I could leave me alone
Intermittent disruption of sight
I just wish I could leave me alone
Static masquerading as sound
I just wish I could leave me alone
Skipping fluttered heartbeat found
I just wish I could leave me alone

Heard it all before

You said time
Is all we need
And one day you’ll come back to me
So till then
Don’t grow apart
I still have your heart

I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
YOU SAY YOU’RE MISSING ME
I’M MISSING YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

You said don’t
Call me again
Until you call for me
You say it hurts
Being apart
But you won’t talk to me

I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
YOU SAY YOU’RE KILLING ME
I’M KILLING YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE


Now you show
Up outta the blue
But I had to move on
You get mad
Oh so sad
But I have seen those tears before

I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
YOU SAY YOU’RE HATING ME
I HATED YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

My life kept on changing
To keep up with your
Arranging to meet your own needs

I need to focus on
My own life in this
Asylum that was built for me

I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
YOU SAY YOU’RE HATING ME
I HATED YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
YOU SAY YOU’RE LEAVING ME
I’M LEAVING YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

YOU SAY YOU NEEDED ME
I NEEDED YOU MORE
I’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

Need

Chaos swirls all around me
Darkness is my only friend
Release comes with only bloodshed
Mine or yours, it’s all the same to (me)

I bleed for solace
You bleed to bind my soul
I feed to appease you
You feed to let me know, but

I don’t care if it all goes away
I don’t need you anymore
All I feel, All the time, All the hate
I don’t want you anymore
Your blood coursing through my veins
I don’t feel it anymore
All the lies, All the hurt, All inside
I don’t love you anymore

Every day, you tell me stand up
For myself, then knock me down
All you say is filled with anger
Violence, the only sound from

You love to hurt me
I hurt to love you too
Lost in confusion
I don’t know what to do, so

I don’t care if it all goes away
I don’t need you anymore
All I feel, All the time, All the hate
I don’t want you anymore
Your blood coursing through my veins
I don’t feel it anymore
All the lies, All the hurt, All inside
I don’t love you anymore

I used to feel you
You used to care
I never feared you
You always shared
I always loved you
You told me so
Now you just hurt me
Now I don’t know

Chaos swirls all around me
Darkness is my only friend
Release comes with only bloodshed
Mine or yours, this is the end for (me)

I bleed for penance
I bleed to purge my soul
I bleed to hurt me
I bleed to make me whole, cuz

I don’t care if it all goes away
I don’t need you anymore
All I feel, All the time, All the hate
I don’t want you anymore
Your blood coursing through my veins
I don’t feel it anymore
All the lies, All the hurt, All inside
I don’t love you anymore

Used to feel, used to care, used to fear
I don’t feel it anymore
Used to share, used to love, used to tell
I don’t feel it anymore
Used to hurt, used to know, used to show
I don’t feel it anymore
Used to touch, used to kiss, used to die
I don’t feel it anymore

I don’t need you anymore
I don’t want you anymore
I don’t feel you anymore
I don’t love you anymore

Just like you

Pages in a book
Now torn
Middle with an end
Want more
The past a memory
That’s scorned
I can’t remember when
It’s gone

Dazed and confused

Totally removed

Sometimes I feel
Just like you

I’m sick of this noose

Won’t somebody cut me loose?

Sometimes I fail
Just like you

What is it that I’m trying to prove?
Sometimes the lost give up and lose

Life is at a stage
Now burnt
Lost the memories
Once learned
A comic tragedy
Of one
I once knew all my lines
They’re gone

Dazed and confused

Totally removed

Sometimes I feel
Just like you

I’m sick of this noose

Won’t somebody cut me loose?

Sometimes I fail
Just like you

What is it that I’m trying to prove?
Sometimes the lost give up and lose

~B~r~E~a~K~

Dazed and confused

Totally removed

Sometimes I feel
Just like you

I’m sick of this noose

Won’t somebody cut me loose?

Sometimes I fail
Just like you

What is it that I’m trying to prove?
Sometimes the lost give up and lose

Answers to a test
got right
The questions still persist
Through life
The time is almost up
The light
I need a little more
No time

Dazed and confused

Totally removed

Sometimes I feel
Just like you

I’m sick of this noose

Won’t somebody cut me loose?

Sometimes I fail
Just like you

What is it that I’m trying to prove?
Sometimes the lost give up and lose

Always Dreaming

Beauty overwhelming
Rare and so pure
Altogether blinding
Altogether unsure
Death in a whisper
Yelling out my name
Roaring like a dragon
Eating flesh with flames
Ashes float with fury
Killing all who fall
Lashes, oval eyes gaze
Vividly I see all

Always dreaming
Dreaming of you
Always missing
Missing of you

Every instance
Viable or decayed
Intentionally scars
Leaving a memory
Bad ones hurt
Even the good memories bring tears
All of them uniquely yours
Requiem of your life

Always dreaming
Dreaming of you
Always missing
Missing of you

The grass is all dying
And time’s on our side
The buildings’ decaying
And time’s on our side
The stories we’ve read
And the tales we’ve told…
The path never wanders
And time’s on our side
We’ll only get grey
And we’ll never get old…
The sun is now setting
And time’s on our side
We dream of regretting
And time’s on our side

The nights, they grow colder
And time’s on our side
The sky is now older
And time’s on our side
The cities we’ve built
All empires do fold…
The world keeps on turning
And time’s on our side
Death takes the young
The timid, and the bold…
But never a hand will it
Lay on my side
Dust of ages settle
Time’s on our side

Waves come crashing down
And time’s on our side
The people are drowning
And time’s on our side
The madness and chaos
Swept up with the tide…
The waves corrects itself
And time’s on our side
They cling to the drift wood
Afloat on the brine…
Consumed by the ocean
And times on our side
The sea of eternity
And time’s on our side

Whirling and twirling
And time’s on our side
Our dance is eternal
And time’s on our side
We’ve seen the world grow
Now we watch as it dies…
The night, it comes early
And time’s on our side
One day we will cease
Our vigil, by and by…
But till that day comes
We have time on our side
We dream of regretting
And time’s on our side

ON*MY*OWN

Its bright outside
Another day
When it get darks
I’ll go away
If my eyes close
I’ll disappear
Nothing to see
Nothing to fear
Nothing to see is nothing to fear

Just go away
Please, don’t stay
I can get by
On my own
I don’t need
To feel anything
I can get by
On my own

With one alone
No one to trust
With two comes fear
I start to rust
With three it brings
Only decay
With any more
I’ll just fade away
Anymore and I’ll just fade away

Just go away
Please, don’t stay
I can get by
On my own
I don’t need
To feel anything
I can get by
On my own

Let me breathe
My own air
Let me think
I won’t share
My own thoughts
My own sky
My own tears
My own lie
My own tears are my own lie

Just go away
Please, don’t stay
I can get by
On my own
I don’t need
To feel anything
I can get by
On my own

Fade into
The back of your mind
Search forever
You’ll never find
Let me be
I will shine
Stop your dulling
On my own I’ll be fine
On my own, I will be fine

Just go away
Please, don’t stay
I can get by
On my own
I don’t need
To feel anything
I can get by
On my own

Born on the double one’s, March ‘78
That little incident sealed my fate
Just a bit early and a little too late
For love
Outward it may seem that I am doing quite fine
But the being of just being keeps on passing the time
Hoping on the inside that one day I will find
My love

I keep my eyes closed wide
I keep searching far inside
For love
But no matter how hard I try
It seems I will never find
Your love
If you can hear me
Please reply

Just whisper
Just whisper

Hangin’ bat and ball, Le Muffin, AKA Ze Mike
Only one day older, close enough that he might
Be a little early, just enough for the spite
Of love
It seems to be the one thing searching for that you miss
But when you stop looking for it, you find your first kiss
And when you try to hold on that’s when it turns to mist
Lost love

I keep my eyes closed wide
I keep searching far inside
For love
But no matter how hard I try
It seems I will never find
Your love
If you can hear me
Please reply

Just whisper
Just whisper

My thoughts don't count
I hate myself
Bile from my mouth
I hate myself
dust to
dust rust to pain
never
end done again
Destroy my heart
I hate myself
I've come apart
I hate myself

Look in my soul
I am no one
Shattered in whole
I am no one
empty
and gone again
pay for
sin in the end
Lips press to yours
I am no one
The pain becomes
I am no one

Look in
my eyes
I'm dreaming
Silent-
ly cry
I'm screaming
I can
not change
I'm worthless
going
under
I'm helpless
Look in
my heart
Can't save me
I'm suf-
fering
Just leave me
This is
how its
supposed to
be

going under
so slowly
going under
so lovely
start to wonder
how this can be
how this can be

hum a little
tune to myself
no one cares

sing a little
song for myself
no one shares

have a little
thought in myself
though it tears

try a little
glance my way
no one dares

I bleed from wounds
I hurt myself
Only I see
I hurt myself
in the
red deep as night
darkest
cut loving sight
I cover up
I hurt myself
The pain in me
I hurt myself

No one but me
I save myself
None can redeem
I save myself
look at
us watching us
star child
what's all the fuss
Keep your mercy
I save my self
Your trembling
I save myself

Look in
my eyes
I'm dreaming
Silent-
ly cry
I'm screaming
I can
not change
I'm worthless
going

A whispered lie
I am undone
Your dark embrace
I am undone
passion
burns silent voice
let me
breathe static noise
You passed through here
I am undone
Without a trace
I am undone

From end to end
I see myself
Ragged and torn
I see myself
image
burnt view askew
clean me
up just like you
My broken wings
I see myself
A star is born
I see myself

Look in
my eyes
I'm dreaming
Silent-
ly cry
I'm screaming
I can
not change
I'm worthless
going

I'm helpless

Discarded hope
I've lost myself
Madness reached out
I've lost myself
my thoughts
can catch the sun
helpless
laugh dreaming one
Retreat in kind
I've lost myself
Into my mind
I've lost myself

I'll leave you now
I'll fall away
Don't give a fuck
I'll fall away
maybe
you'll understand
when no one
will hold your hand
Fend for yourself
I'll fall away
I wish you well
I'll fade away

Look in
my eyes
I'm dreaming
Silent-
ly cry
I'm screaming
I can
not change
I'm worthless

Plan to excel
Hone your skills
Go to hell
Pay the bills
Shoot him up
Shoot him down
Burn baby burn
Burn the house down
Read the question twice
Read the question twice
Strategies
Stab the knees
Crush the spine
No longer flee
Done the deed
As you bleed
Feel my wrath
As I feed
And read the question twice
Read the question twice

Break the night
Might makes right
Cruel as god
Hateful sight
Speak the lie
As you cry
Your heart is yours
Your life is mine

Plan to exist
Further your goals
Plan to destroy
Ahead in the polls
Some say you're up
When really you're down
Your smile is a kiss
Your kiss is a frown
Read the question twice
Read the question twice
Asking me why
You breathe as you sigh
Your heart has grown cold
Your feelings a lie
Do what you can
Kill what you can't
Love what you hate
Smash all the rest
Read the question twice
Read the question twice

Break the night
Might makes right
Cruel as god
Hateful sight
Speak the lie
As you cry
Your heart is yours
Your life is mine

Searching your lungs
You breathe in the air
The cold autumn chill
The grey in your hair
The wrinkles and lies
Cut deep in the flesh
Alone as you die
I leave you the rest
And read the question twice
Read the question twice
Heavy eyes close
Heavier soul
Fall to the ground
Drown in a hole
I dragged you down
Each step of the way
The lessons were learned
The lies were the same
Read the question twice
Read the question twice

Break the night
Might makes right
Cruel as god
Hateful sight
Speak the lie
As you cry
Your heart is yours
Your life is mine

Your touch caressed
I remember so
Your lips met mine
Oh so long ago

Oh how I long for yesterday,
to always be yesterday

I forget sometimes
When i cross the lines
I see you standing there
Out of place and out of time

Your hair it always shines
Your beauty, oh so fine
I see you standing there
Out of place and out of time

Your laughter rang
Back when it was pure
You looks were love
Your smile demure

Oh how I long for yesterday,
to always be yesterday

I forget sometimes
When i cross the lines
I see you standing there
Out of place and out of time

I Give Up

Come and watch me die tonight
I have lost the will to fight
Once more broken and abused
I have nothing left to lose

Fighting against one's self
Can really take alot out of one's self
The punches always seem to hit their mark
Come and see the fool with a broken heart

Come and see me cry tonight
I will lose just one more fight
My life's twisted, re-arranged
Why shouldn't this one be the same

Fighting against one's self
Can really take alot out of one's self
The punches always seem to hit their mark
Come and see the fool with a broken heart

Come and witness my despair
Throw my thoughts up in the air
Let them all come sailing down
Shattered on the cold hard ground

Fighting against one's self
Can really take alot out of one's self
The punches always seem to hit their mark
Come and see the fool with a broken heart

Your smile
Smiles at me
Your hand
Clutches mine
The stairs
We climb are cold
But each night
We make it fine

You fall asleep
Every time I drive
I keep losing my way

If you tell me where to go
I may change my mind
A whim will carry us along our way

Your eyes
Open wide
Your skull
Cracks into mine
Your laugh
Can raise the dead
Your love
Suits me just fine

You fall asleep
Every time I drive
I keep losing my way

If you tell me where to go
I may change my mind
A whim will carry us along our way

Still Looking

Up it goes, In it goes, out it goes down
Everyone insists on wearing a frown
I've got to get myself out of this town
Before this cheerfulness brings me back down

I don't see what everybody wants from me now
I haven't saved myself

I'm still looking for my own salvation
But it’s something that I can’t seem to find
I'm still dreaming of my devastation
And the nightmares fill my mind
I'm still screaming at my inclinations
I scream so hard that my lungs are dry
I'm still cringing at my intonation
I can hear it no matter how hard I try

When I need to think I just close my eyes
Futility seems only exercise
On the road to crash and burn realize
You're following me, I don't know how to drive

I don't see what everybody wants from me now
I haven’t saved myself

I'm still looking for my own salvation
But it’s something that I can’t seem to find
I'm still dreaming of my devastation
And the nightmares fill my mind
I'm still screaming at my inclinations
I scream so hard that my lungs are dry
I'm still cringing at my intonation
I can hear it no matter how hard I try

Looking for assistance, one of many in line
Just because I’m next doesn’t mean that I’m fine
At least I have the sense to speak what’s on my mind
I can’t help you brother, I’m just wasting your time

I don't see what everybody wants from me now
I haven’t saved myself

I'm still looking for my own salvation
But it’s something that I can’t seem to find
I'm still dreaming of my devastation
And the nightmares fill my mind
I'm still screaming at my inclinations
I scream so hard that my lungs are dry
I'm still cringing at my intonation
I can hear it no matter how hard I try

You must know you're a
Sore sight for my eyes
I thought you would realize
All you do to me
Corrupt, confuse me
I thought you could sympathize

But sympathy is for the weak
And i am falling over
Clarity of all you think
requires looking over your shoulder

I have grown suspicious of your actions
I have grown suspicious of your thoughts
I don't need you to get better
I don't need your crystal shots

Don't you know you're a
Thorn thrust into my side
I thought you would realize
Corrupt and destruct
Everything I've ever loved
Truth once was easier than lies

But truth is only for those who trust
And I don't get your meaning
Life is only passing time
when you have lost all feeling

I have grown suspicious of your actions
I have grown suspicious of your thoughts
I don't need you to get better
I don't need your crystal shots

You must know you're a
Sharp pain in my heart
I thought you would realize
Each time you stop
That's when I start
I close my eyes and I cry

But only losers care for me
And I have lost my smile
If I should discover me I think
I would stay awhile

I have grown suspicious of your actions
I have grown suspicious of your thoughts
I don't need you to get better
I don't need your crystal shots

Eyes as blue as the ocean depths
Crushing me under their gaze
Mind as sharp as a razor's edge
Scars that never fade
Lips as sweet as cyanide
Putting me out of my pain
I hope that if i die this time
I'll never hurt again

You forgot what I loved in you
What I saw in you
What I see in you, baby
I know what I loved in you
What I saw in you
What I see is true, baby

Soul as black as the deepest night
Emptiness and pain
Full of everything I loved
Now i'm stark raving sane
Part of you has died and gone
Leaving just a black hole
But i can see some life inside
If only you were whole

You forgot what I loved in you
What I saw in you
What I see in you, baby
I know what I loved in you
What I saw in you
What I see is true, baby

The soul may be timid
But it’s sure not weak
All of this pain would
Crush the weak
I keep getting hurt
Time after time
Why do I let it
No reason, no rhyme

Pain keeps getting in
Bathing me again
Figured I’d have learned by now
Repeat anyhow

The heart may be stupid
And this I should know
I keep letting love
Bring me so low
I should look for friendship
And people like such
So when it all fails
I don’t hurt so much

But love keeps getting in
Killing me again
Figured I’d have learned by now
Repeat anyhow

There was
A time
When you smiled for me
Now all
I have
Is your memory
I tried
To be
Your friend after love
Had left
Your eyes
How could I be so dumb

Reminiscing
About kissing
Is killing me
But then you tell me
Things that kill me
Like you're missing me
But when I call back
Feeling the same way
You just play it cool
You once said that
Pride's your problem
Mine is i'm a fool

You said
Belief
Was what you had in me
But actions
Speak loud
And now that doesn't seem
Abandoned
And lost
Or did you let me go
Thinking
That I
Was the one that wanted it so

Contemplating
My heart aching
I do this to myself
Removed from my sleeve
Out of my reach
My hearts up on a shelf
You say maybe
I go crazy
As if this could be
But could it happen
The devil's a laughin'
I'm just fooling me

One goes in
One goes out
Oxygenated
Expel it
All in one
Shout to defend it
Breath of life
Creates those
That one day will end it
I see you
Break the rules
I can only bend them

Evil prevails when good men fail
To act on a simple fact of life
It simply is, precisely this
What's the point, one day we'll die

One goes in
Blood comes out
My life is faded
Jury says
It's your turn
Now you can repay it
Eye for eye
Tooth for tooth
Life's over rated
That's the cost
You've incurred
And some day you'll pay it

Evil prevails when good men fail
To act on a simple fact of life
It simply is, precisely this
What's the point, one day we'll die

So precisely
What should we do
All our worries
Some how they grew
Killing seemed to
Be the only way
Nothing's stopping
Watch us fade away

Death begat
Death again
Two wrongs making right
Three lefts could
Do the same
But who has the time
Easier
Turn one's head
Lack of awareness
Is blindness
Yours alone
Or can we all share this

Evil prevails when good men fail
To act on a simple fact of life
It simply is, precisely this
What's the point, one day we'll die

Does it sound
Like I care
Or simply complaining
One cannot
Disbelieve
And hope that will change things
No one can
Just decide
And change fact to fiction
We're all in
The same boat
We can't change direction

Evil prevails when good men fail
To act on a simple fact of life
It simply is, precisely this
What's the point, one day we'll die

So precisely
What should we do
All our worries
Some how they grew
Killing seemed to
Be the only way
Nothing's stopping
Watch us fade away
