Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages Step right up and get your tickets to the greatest show on earth Where you'll witness death defying feats and acts of whisky Guzzling debauchery I wanna see you - So get the fuck up! (Carla) It’s high noon when you step into the pit It’s a monster's ball and their digging a ditch For the sunburnt the weary, the ones who won't last In this cyclone of flesh with this cathartic mix (Heidi) When the broken limbs are leading the match It’s the ring masters itch we’re amassed to scratch With the crack of the whip the carnies rush in to devour The beast that beats on drums of flesh (Carla) Blistered embattled You fall to submission To complete the mission You rally and rise 2-3-4 (Heidi) Slack-jawed and entranced your torched by the sun You've caught the fever The day's just begun to burn. Ya! No you can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball Hey you there in the neo-thrash prog math whatever metal shirt And cut off jeans trying to sneak away don't leave yet The best part of the show is just about to begin It’s not over till the pretty ladies scream! {Verse 2] So get the fuck up! (Carla) Brothers in arms we shake our devil sticks Together as we climb walls of jagged bones together As you float away on a bed a callused hands With the crest in sight now it’s time to go (Heidi) Over the edge, you take a decadent fall Behind the velvet rope you join the men on stilts The juggler winks and throws you a ball Before you know it you're part of it all No you can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball Ladies and Gentlemen Step right up and get your tickets To the greatest show on earth We've never felt this free When I’m stepping blindly Cause we’ve never been so free My Acrobatic Army Ladies and Gentlemen Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop No you can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball Can't stop moving No you can't stop moving No you can't stop This monster's ball

Some days I bite my tongue right off This rage is all I know Saves me from being alone I am an animal wounded by life You want me to calm down but you gave me this knife Now I'm at odds with myself and war with the rest and Now it rips me it fucks me it tears me apart Just one push and I will ignite This coiled up anger on you So be my guest Stand down, it's my game and I say you'll burn out Your time is on a loan Silence your bullshit, your voice I despise Don't say another word, you hemorrhage lies Now I'm at odds with myself and war with the rest and Now it rips me it fucks me it tears me apart Just one push and I will ignite This coiled up anger on you So be my guest It rips me I'm at odds with myself and at war with the rest It fucks me I'm at odds with myself and at war with the rest It tears me apart I'm at odds with myself and at war I'm an apathetic monster controlled by my TV With an itchy trigger finger Cause this violence consumes me I'm an apathetic monster controlled by my TV With an itchy trigger finger Cause this violence consumes me Now I'm at odds with myself and war with the rest and Now it rips me it fucks me it tears me apart Just one push and I will ignite This coiled up anger on you So be my guest

We’re slowly twitching to the fire that burns but plays dead Stand aside and watch us burn Break down the walls we’ve made Oh! Break! Down the walls we’ve made Break! Don’t say anything cause anything could burn the flame out cold The screaming voices in your head, just silent sounds ignored And I’m telling you that this will be the last time And I’ll wash my hands of this We built these walls We built them for protection Just to crumble to my feet We built these walls We built them for protection In the end I’ll be the one who’s killing me It’s killing me! It’s killing me! It’s killing me! Forget about that fire we lit, unmask that lifeless face We’ve cooked and burned from limb to limb Trapped in this iron cage A game for the fallen A song for the sullen Stand aside and watch us burn Break all the walls we’ve made Oh! Break! Down the walls we’ve made Break down

I pull my hair at night, motherfucker My dreams they swallow me whole And take me to faraway places, places that I’ll never go Where gangs of this faceless cry, so bloody eyeless red They’re chasing after me And I’m swimming in a poll of the blood they shed It’s a fucked up time to be alive It’s a fucked up way to get clean And the bloods not stopping It’s a fucked up thing to believe But you better believe me Shadows juxtaposed and raw Paradox has become the law Destruction comes our way Everyone is lost not a one can be saved Don’t mourn the quiet ones as they die Laugh at the silencers What will we learn when every human scream is heard? Now I’m tasting every drop of blood that they bled for me I’ll be burning every inch of skin that they gave to me Now I’m consuming every twisted truth that they fed to me I’ll be purging every fallacy they’ve injected into me By the book of the butcher I was meant to bring it to her With the knife held strong and steady The silence was so deafening I could only hear Ed singing his praises Of what he made me This violence is golden a calming breath pre kill Exhale as the knife cuts through the skin Ed came to me to satisfy his dying wish

I am a gravemaker you are all bleeding together Your eyes, limbs, words I can't be, I won't be your A twisted pile of metal in my head I'm tied to your fascist mold I can't be, I won't be your god You wanted a god? Well, here's your god Now tear me apart, waste me! Rip out my heart I can't be, I won't be your god You wanted a god? Well, here's your god You wanted a god? Well, here's your god Bent over bleeding And my skin is crawling with leeches From slumming they're feeding off my name Exiled from my mind to hide the faces inside I'll drag you to hell with me I'll drag you to hell I'll drag you to hell To hell with me I am a casualty stripped of my cage Extracting each vein to fit in I can't be, I won't be your Scratched from behind your pulling my nerves From inside to cover your sins Tear off my skin, make me bleed I can't be, I won't be your god You wanted a god? Well, here's your god Bent over bleeding And my skin is crawling with leeches From slumming they're feeding off my name Exiled from my mind to hide the faces inside I'll drag you to hell with me I'll drag you to hell I'll drag you to hell To hell with me "Therefore, brethren. I call upon you, through the compassions and mercies of God, to present your bodies A sacrifice - living, sanctified, acceptable to God - your intelligent, spiritual service." I can't fix your human tragedy as I'm your victim I can't be the leash you want me to be when I'm constricted I won't be your god! I can't be your god! I won't be your god! I'm not your fucking god I'll drag you to hell with me I'll drag you to hell To hell with me...

Somewhere out in space I’ve lost myself, I’ve been misplaced Somehow I’ve been thrown away I’ve grown allergic to an image, fractured by an idea I’ve been thrown away Let’s make believe that these walls could sing They’d open up and they’d welcome me in But in the end I’d know it’s been a dream Let’s make believe that these shadows screamed They’d reach out they’d hold on to me But in the end I’d know it’s been a dream I walk these streets like a phantom limb I should belong but I don’t fit in I feel I’ve been thrown away I’ve tried to make myself better, tried every pill I will burn everything when I feel threatened I fear in empty space Slow down, please don’t throw me away With each step towards regret I know I’ve done it to myself Slow down, don’t forget me I’ve tried to push the blame but I’ve done it to myself

They will know me They will love me They will praise me They will know my name Fembots meet in Hollywood colliding With their carved out sides and their plastic smiles Drugs don’t work because they took them all And now they’re dry The shuffle of the dimes who come by the dozen To latch to the suits that give and take, exploit, control And toxify their conducts, pacify their intellect For the right place we can fake this all night More for less, to pad their pocketbooks keep them smiling Bleach their roots, till bright-eyed girls Are all blown out pros One and two and three is for the show With looks to kill it’s all they know It’s one and two and three is for the show Self-absorbed they learned it from Monroe To live and die in Hollywood’s the dream Sold herself to be a tabloid queen To live and die in Hollywood’s the dream She sold herself to suffocate the scene They will know me They will love me They will praise me When they see my name in lights Time moves fast but in Hollywood it flies You’ve gone past your prime, dying on the vine The ones that fed you won’t feed you now Because you’re dry The retreat of the mimes that live on borrowed time And cling to a trick that’s brought and sold and getting old You knew it would destruct, now your moments up What a dirty end, Hollywood’s revenge Locked and loaded To see my name in lights Locked and loaded I’ll see my name in lights

Rise! Do you feel alive Fight back for your life See yourself scraping the mold off a dead old man’s face Inside! The fear that we hide, the ending in sight See yourself the face that reflects in the blade of a knife Born to be a blood soaked hero Raised to be a victim dying alone Born to be an absolute sinner Made in to a servant slave to a throne I want to take this I want to make this life I want to take this I want to make it mine Pray! Cause its judgement day You’ve wasted away See yourself down on your knee While you try to forget your crimes A prison of light with scars on your eye See yourself holding on like a thief in the night to your own life It starts when you’re young and your insides don’t fit They stitch you back up and say just blend in Then you get old and your retinas rip, you breathe in the dark As they peel back your skin And living your dreams means you can’t pay your bills And the worst thing of all were all terminally ill Excuse me if I just don’t seem like myself I’m still trying to deal back the card I’ve been dealt Ingesting this meat makes me sick to my core So I force it back up till I’m flaccid and torn I could wake up but I don’t sleep I could wake up but I just don’t sleep Live in fear You are so blind when you’re looking To the hands of time standing still This circle of life to be the kill See yourself so afraid of death every shadow’s chasing you

Sorry to disappoint you But you can’t even grasp what I’ve been through In the end, you’ve engraved this in my head You taught me to be dead Do you even know what you said Remember when I closed my eyes and took my last breath By the grasp of your hand clinched tight around my neck So you made me this will, you created this mistake You tried to put me away with every blow I would take But I grew up now and I’m sorry to say I’m exactly like you A fucking mistake Sorry to humiliate you But they have never felt dead like I do Tore out my insides, left me to die I crawled like a dog to save my own life Sorry to disappoint you But you can’t even grasp what I’ve been through They are me alive they ate me alive I curled up and died because they ate me alive Where were you when I learned to take it like a man Where were you when I learned to stand Where were you when I learned to take it like a man Dead man walking Chipping at my soul and taking it in slow He’s dead man walking Circles in my head I swear Now I can say that I know what it’s like to play dead And I still see your twitching ghost When I’m looking in the mirror Do you see mine We are one in the same, I swear Now I can say that I know what it’s like to play Dead man walking Sorry to repulse you But you have never fought like I do Forgot how to cry, learned how lie I put you away to the back of my mind Sorry to disgust you But you can’t even taste what I’ve been through They are me alive they ate me alive I curled up and died cause they ate me alive

Can you taste it, the sweat and suffering We salivate for the kill We will not ever quit, 10,000 marching boots in the pit It’s time to take off the masks Remove the knives from our backs We fight They try to hold us down They try to push us down We won’t let them Fight Rise from the underground We won’t be pushed around We won’t let them Break us We won’t let them Break us Can you feel the ground pulsing under you Now we’ve unsettled the dust We will not take your shit 10,000 marching boots in the pit It’s time to take a stand cause they can’t break us We won’t let them We won’t let them We won’t let them Break us We’re taking control And the only thing we know is that it isn’t going to be pretty We’re taking control And the only thing we know is we won’t stop They can’t take us, break us, stand in our way We’re taking control And the only thing we know is we won’t stop
