Like it or Not
The less you take, the more you go
Heart attack & then some
Medicine can make you numb
Beg for your cancer
Ooo(s)
The more you play, the worse you love
Heartbreak can mess you up
Understand the way you are
Here comes a rainstorm
Ooo(s)
I know you can’t decide
But who am I
To judge a friend who can’t move on?
It’s your life
& who am I to tell you what?
Like it or not
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah(s)

Checkmate
These walls are broken
Gonna come crumblin’ down
There’s no other choice
But to sink this ship, I think I will
You’re all the same
But this game is over, it’s over
It’s a disease
You’re outta your mind, outta your mind
& I’m sick of the way
You keep screwin’ all my loved ones
You robbed my dad
And you rape my friends
Now it’s over, it’s over
One dollar at a time
‘til you lose your strength
One person at a time
Wake yourself up
Wake your friends up, it’s time
To wake the world up and peek out
All the symbols, gone
As the plans arrive
This world’s assembled in a shell
& all of us could be the ones to break away
Find a better way to be
So you water it, water it
Until it drowns out
You keep planting it, planting it
Until the seeds dry out
But I don’t see the sense
In diggin’ your own grave or mine
& I don’t care what you say to justify it
‘cause you’ll always win
Well, maybe not this time
One dollar at a time
‘til you lose your strength
One person at a time
‘til you’re left with nothin’
One little guy times one million times
You’re takin’ us for a ride
But we won’t go down quietly
Gotta break away
Fuck your evil ways, we’re leavin’…

In a Handbasket
You take everything
But you kill us all along the way
I see it all comes down to you
And your stupid sense of pride, and your money, too
Just pull the shades
I can’t look up, I can’t look out
We’re slaves, all of us (all of us)
We have no say
Not any single one of us
I see the end is coming soon
& I’m beginning to think there’s nothin’ that we can do
We can’t be saved
I can’t see how, it’s too late now
Make me understand
Why you don’t care
You don’t care at all
It’s the only world we have
& I can’t watch
As you drill it down
I can’t understand
How you can’t care
Don’t understand at all
Now the world is in your hands
& I can’t watch
You throw it all to hell
(Back vocal lyrics)
Time won’t heal
This place from you
You say, you do
But now it kills you, too
Why won’t you
See all that you do?
I cry for you
But now you rape me, too

Colorblind
You run away into a phrase
Into a place that no one knows
And on a corner waits your life
And in your darkened days
It comes out bangin’ face, nowhere to go
Until you carve away your pride
Talk that walk inside your head
Talk that walk until you’re dead
And you wonder why
No one will take your side
You pull the wool over their eyes
& you make up what you can’t be
I don’t know why you can’t just be yourself
You’re on a Technicolor ride
Talk that walk inside your head
Talk that walk until you’re dead
And you wonder why
No one will take your side
Talk that walk, talk that walk
You’ll believe your hype
Talk that walk, talk and talk
‘til you cross the line
Wrong, right, it’s an oversight
All is fine ‘til your conscience cries:
I don’t like what I am
So I will make it up as I go on & on
And I will probably be this way until I’m gone
Who am I?
I’m a fake, I run from life
List the things that I will never do, it’s long
So I will make things up as I go along
What am I?
I’m colorblind
So who am I?
I’m not a fake, I’m just afraid
So I will talk myself up until I feel strong
And make the list of things I’ll never do, it’s long
Why do I always take the same way out?
And you wonder why
No one will take your side
Talk that walk, talk that walk
You’ll believe your hype
Talk that walk, talk and talk
‘til you cross the line
It’s in the eyes
It’s in your sight
It’s not in mine
‘cause I’m not blind

On the Edge
It’s in my hands and out of sight
It’s all in my head, ya know
The things that won’t be right
& I can’t seem to dig it out
But I’m not gonna leave it in the sand
It’s all in my hands, my head
I want me to
Ya know, I want me to do
It’s so hard to try
But better than whining all the time
And I want me to
Ya know, I want me to do
It’s in my bed, sleepin’ at my side
Just another mess to take the place
Of all these lies
But I’m not gonna play it off
Cuz I can’t justify what don’t make sense
It’s all in my hands, my head
I want me to
Ya know, I want me to do
It’s so hard to try
But better than running all the time
And I want me to
Ya know, I want me to do
It’s so hard to climb up this broken vine
I say, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
I say, no-no-no-no, well nevermind
I’ll sew a different mind
I say, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
I say, no-no-no-no, well nevermind
I’ll show a different side
I say, nah-nah-nah-nah-no
I say, no-no-no-no, whatever mind
Oh, well, nevermind
(Back vocal lyrics)
Conversation’s all mine
Combinations of mind
Well, nevermind, ooo, yeah
I’ll be swayin’ sometimes
All the way on your side
Well, nevermind, ooo, yeah
Contemplation’s all mine
All the layers of mind
Well, nevermind, ooo, yeah

Octo
Pick out your vice
I’m drunk, you’re high
Are we takin’ pain away or makin’ more?
It’s all we want, it’s all I want
So we’re at war anymore
Anytime they say so
Now we’re numb, yeah
It’s all they want, it’s all they want
Pick out your price
I’m sure you’ll decide
Are we waitin’ to be saved or somethin’ more?
It’s all we want, it’s all I want
We don’t know anymore
What we live this life for
So live it now, yeah
It’s all we got, it’s all you got
La(s)
We never want the same things (x2)
No, no, no, no, no we don’t
No we no we don’t, we don’t
We’ll never find a safe place (x2)
No, no, no, no, no we won’t
No we no we won’t, we won’t
We’ll never live the same way
We’ll never live the same day
We are all the way we are
All the way we are, we are
We’ll never find the same place
We’ll never find a peaceful way
Evil in all the ways we are
Run cold
I feel no sympathy
Until
I care with everything
Death kills
All I see
Unglued
I carry everything
Unfold
Into the symphony
Then you’ll
Be unmistakably
Unfurled
Always be
Numb, dulled
Until we’re all insane

Feel the Blood
He won’t live in a brave mind
Feel the water, breathe it in, now
Didn’t wanna break my heart
So I hid it in the shallow sea
Wonder why the safe side
Has always got it in for me, now
Every time I try to sleep
I just lay there, scattered, thinking deep
We won’t live in the grave, but
Feel the worms, they’re creepin’ in, now
Didn’t wanna split my heart
So now it lives in solemn sleep
So many scrapes inside
Feel the blood, it’s drippin’ down, now
All the while, I try to breathe
But the pain keeps suffocating me
It’s the same thing that’s keepin’ him down
He’ll just keep on draggin’ it out (psyched out)
He’ll just keep on repeating himself
And I don’t regret a thing
But I can’t forget you
No, I can’t forget
But I can’t depend on you
And I can’t make sense
But I can’t be sad
I just surrender
& I just remember
But I don’t regret
No, I don’t regret a thing
Let it go! (repeat)

9 a.m.
Don’t answer the phone at 9 a.m.
It’s always bad news
You’re tearin’ apart my world again
Tell me why you’re cruel
Tell me why
They all say that you’re loving and kind
But your “kindness” is makin’ me lose my mind
Kill your children, make ‘em suffer, you’re so nice…
Guess I’ll walk alone
‘cause I can’t stand you
You can’t save me
‘cause I’m never gonna hold your grubby hand
Tell me why you’re cruel
Tell me why
They all say you need a faith that’s blind
If they took a good look, they’d see the ugly side
Then they’d stop, say what the fuck, you ain’t my type
I’ll go another way
You won’t understand, now
Then I’ll be the one
I’ll hold the keys myself
Long for another day
One that won’t make me sad, now
I can’t rely on faith
Faith only lets me down
Tell me why you’re cruel
Tell me why
They all say that you’re loving and kind
But your “kindness” is makin’ me lose my mind
Kill your children, make ‘em suffer
You’re so, so, so, so…
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, tell me
