1. _ You Can't Lose
There's so many corridors for you to explore
Just when you think you've seen it all you find something more
Always one more aisle to pursue in this department store
Just be sure you don't forget to purchase what you came for
Take a look around do you like what you see
A vast ocean of opportunity
You can always make a change if your view does not suit you
So many splendid paths from which to choose
You can't lose
Stumbling through the world one day I met a man of depth
He was kind and spoke wisely this is what he said
For what it's worth life's worth the wait
Try to sample life from many plates
Paint your life use palates with many paints
And in gold you'll be worth your wait
Lose sight of yourself for a while
And act foolishly just like a child
Make sure you live your life out of style
Break free from the rank and file
An endless storybook always another page
And each chapter can end the way you choose
You've been cast the leading role and your whole life's a stage
Experience is the one thing you can't lose
You can't lose
If you never try you've already died
So you better try
I'm telling you no matter what you do
You can't lose

2. _ Hit You Back

3. _ Crack
We've had enough of you
And your do as we say not as we do
Where the hell do you get off
Thinking your better than us
Who are you to make the rules
The same rules you always abuse
Your someone we'll never trust
We'll respect you when you respect us
We will thrive while were alive
Nobody's going to bring us down
We'll bend but never break
You can't take us
You can't make us quit
Never falter Never Fail
We've got the will to fight
The future is ours to take
You can't break us
You can't make us
Cracks in this armor hard to find
Search all you want but your wasting your time
No weak link No Achilles heel
Just a burn we'll make you feel
Formed from ire and angst
A deep resentment coming of age
Don't look now but here it comes
The revolution has now begun
There is nothing you can say or do
We'll anticipate your every move
You can do or you can die just stay out of the way
If you must try to fuck with us than you know this now
We will make you pay

4. _ Wounds
Paranoid am I an android A checker in a game of chess
Out of place I'm from outer space better than being a pawn I guess
I am deep in thought but not having any deep thought I am frayed
Always beg to differ but never make a difference it's not ok
Why does this feel so empty
Why do I feel so numb
Why do the days all seem to come undone
Unsung
Gladly I sit with Boo radley even he speaks in tongues to me
The cupboards bare why do I even care the entire worlds greek to me
I will play along but I'm longing to be played out I'm afraid
I am lonely even when I'm not alone in Disarray
Not asking for a handout
Not asking for rewards
I know there must be something more
Something more
Pseudo Panacea this wound won't heal
A faux antiserum this wound will never heal
Anti Antiseptic this cut won't fucking heal
I have a hole in my soul a hole that needs filled
|

5. _ If We Quit
I'm breaking down because were breaking up
Sometimes too much is still less than enough
My soul is bleeding
I can't just quit you
We said forever
My hearts still beating
I'm telling you if we quit now we both lose
It's sad but true If we quit now we both lose
I'm warning you if we quit now we both lose
We won't We won't lose
We started strong but somehow came up lame
We saw we conquered too bad we never came
The conversations we held in future tense
Now I wonder if we'll bother to end our sentences
Some people spend their lives wishing for what we've got
So darling please don't make this time we spent all for not
I know that sometimes I can make you feel so crazy
Sedate me if it makes things better
But maybe what you need is a little insanity
We could howl at the moon together

6. _ Send in the Clowns
White power synonym for coward
Hope you enjoyed your stay
This is your final hour
Terminated lease
Cut off like deadweight
Good bye and good riddance to you
And to all of your hate
Hate crime the product of weak minds
Undernourished thought its ignorance defined
Sheep in wolves clothing
Bred from self loathing
You only hate them because you hate yourself
Your crippled followings a tattered hand me down
I'll try not to crack a smile as you send in the clowns
You can reminisce about the days when you felt proud
But don't look now cause your white worlds turning brown (Burning Down)
See through never will I be you
Barking at a world that doesn't even see you
Fading from our sights
Like a failing religion
Preaching to empty peuhs
We'll never listen
You hate Yourself and blame everyone else
That void you're hearing now is the sound of silence
As the muzzle mutes you and your shameless nonsense
It was not nice meeting you and the pleasure wasn't mine
Hope I never see you sometime
Goodnight white pride of lions
Your kind is quickly dying
On the verge of your extinction
Funeral with no distinction
Goodnight white pride of lions
Your kind is quickly dying
We hope you enjoyed your stay
We can not tolerate your hate

7. _ It's Your Move
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you tick
Whatever makes the days that you pass through
Seem worth it
Whatever makes you feel like you're in place
Whatever makes your burdens lose their weight
Whatever makes you feel like you belong
Whatever makes you strong
It's up to you
Do whatever you want to do
Just be sure you follow through
Whatever makes you feel alright
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever puts its arms around you
Whatever makes you smile
Whatever makes your daily battles seem worthwhile
Whatever makes you feel like your time is well spent
Whatever causes you to be content
Whatever helps you to erase your doubts
Whatever makes you proud
You are your best critic your best defense
It's you and no one else
So take charge of your choices and your life
Take charge of yourself

8. _ Count on Me
Every time I look around
I see the faces that make me proud
When I'm with you I feel so free
My friends and family
So much I want to say to you
With all the shit that we've been through
You know I wouldn't change a thing
It's a part of life A way of growing
You show your support you believe in me
My friends and Family
Without you who would I be
When I get down you're there for me
My friends and Family
I'd die for you as you would die for me
I know you'd die for me
Love, Respect, and Loyalty
These are things that you've shown me
I can only hope that you can see
How much you've meant to me
I promise you I will always be here for you when you need me
In any weather through thick and thin
From any weather through thick and thin
From beginning to end I will be here friend
You know you can count on me

9. _ Never Forget
I'm thinking back to all the good times we shared
Through and through no closer two
I always looked up to you
I don't know how or when everything could have gone so wrong
That you could feel so sad You couldn't carry on
I can't believe this is true
I always loved and adored you
What happened where was I
How could I let you die
I know I could have saved you
I can't believe it actually could come to this
For once in your life couldn't you have missed
And though I know there was nothing I could have done
Deep inside I still feel I let you down
Best friend I ever had
This ending isn't right
When I spoke to your dad
He told me that those were the best days of your life
I would give anything for a chance to rewind
Roll back the hands of time to save a friend of mine
Deep inside I regret I never will forget

10. _ Could This Be
Could this be happening to me
A dream come true just call me lucky
You always taught me to believe
This is the way you always said that it could be
So now I'm thanking you
You always understood me
And I still talk to you
And I know that you're still listening
Could this be happening to you
You go through life without a dream inside of you
You say there is nothing you can do
So sit and rust and let your life slip right by you
I can't force you to enjoy your life
Nor can I endorse your glass half-empty state of mind
Play the victim its all you seem to do
If you don't chase your dreams no one will chase them for you
You could have anything (anything)
You have anything you want
You could have everything (everything)
But instead you choose to rust
And I've had enough

11. _ Fight of Your Life
Patience breathe slowly
Keep 'til the pain subsides
Ill try not to make you laugh
Because I know it hurts so bad
Stricken without warning
No portent No tell tale signs
Silent laying half alive
With angels weeping at your side
Hope you wore your riot gear your in for the Fight of Your Life
Best you wear your finest suit You may need some makeup tonight
Your eyes tell me that you're not through and you'll battle through this plight
Better do all you can do cause one things true you're in for the fight of your life
Slowly count backward anything to clear your head
Waiting for an outcome
Unending sadness makes you numb
Search for a religion
It's as close as you'll ever get
Paling fingers intertwined
God how could you be this unkind
Searching deep inside for some safe sanctuary
Try to believe what I told myself were lies
Hoping you might end up in some better place
But no afterworld renders this pain justified
I can't let you leave I won't let you go
I can't put our friendship on loan
You can't go this fast How will we write your epitaph
Too many words to fit on one headstone
This is the Fight of Your Life

12. _ Judge and Jury

13. _ Survive
I'm gonna put it to you like this
I don't want this to come to fists
But the bottom line is that you've reached the top of my shit list
Two trains on the same track and you can bet you and I we are going to bang heads
Friendship unraveling like yarn through we share a common thread
I know your not blind so why can't you see
The curtain that has been drawn between you and me
A friendship that has eroded with time like a mountain into the sea
You wanted to make your dreams a reality
But your reality is now a dream
Are you the person that you really want to be
Or a fraction of the friend who once knew me
Done more harm than you could ever afford
Open your heart and you're sure to find more
In life than you can find at a local liquor store
Your personality has been seduced
By chemicals you over abuse
You're in a tailspin and there is nothing you can do
Your shenanigans used to amuse me
But I've grown tired of your tomfoolery
This running joke is way past its prime and way past decency
A vodka tonic a day will keep the memory away
Yore not conscious when you are awake
Drink and drive don't care who dies
Motherfucker you've been risking lives
You could be the one who won't Survive

14. _ Slow Motion Riot
What have we here storm before calm.
Strung out on fear so pass me the napalm
Break Bread with me before it is stolen
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden
Life a magazine Death a Reality
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities
Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
An open road compared to drug traffic
Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Living in a Slow Motion Riot
Concisness it has been gagged and bound
Better make your last confession
The worlds doing its best impression
Of a ship with nowhere to go but down
Skyscraper fantasies Ghetto realities
Dreams watered down like softcore pornography
Watch your step gang related death
Funeral day wonder who's next
Crime is the standard built up Immunity
Only care if it's our community
Smokescreen safety can't trust the Government
In this world hell seems heaven sent
Were in a Slow Motion Riot
Life a Fantasy Death Reality
Life a Quarantine Death a courtesy
Life a Brevity Death Finality
Life a foul disease Death a Remedy

15. _ Simpler Days
Growing up at a hundred miles per hour
Relentless pursuit of absolute power
Engines of progress full steam ahead
Ranting and raving while being force fed
Deafening sounds of machines humming
Fury and pace of people running
Endless noise of the blood pumping clock
Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop
Tear down these walls Its progress we can have it all
Infrastructure falls Its progress that's what we call it
Traditions are erased Gone without a trace
Take me back to simpler times and simpler ways
Simpler Days
Round and round spinning our wheels
Into the ground the grinding of the drills
No time for family No time for rest
Got to work quick make the world a mess
Relief is nowhere to be seen
Foreclosure of the American dream
Domino theory takes hold
Our future has been bought and sold
Biding our time
Our chances slip away
Being done in
By devices we create
Twisting-Turning resources burning for our conveniency
Pulling-Ripping out stitching that fuses our families
Fighting-lying we are dying harm that cannot be undone
Breaking-Bending here's the ending were writing our own requiem
