So, what I want to know is How did you get through my security? Don't turn us into a war zone Here I thought with you I had immunity So, here we go You're about to blow and I see now It was a set up with your talking And there you go Moving too fast and I'm too slow To duck and run because you wound Like a machine gun No break, between a hit You're a machine gun And I'm running on for cover Like a machine gun The hurting never quits I'm under fire Fire! Machine... Screw you with what you're about to do Set afire, annihilate our alliance Well, boo hoo So you were hurt before, too That doesn't mean that you're justified in your violence Now it's a civil war 'Cause you started this within the union Must want it bad, 'cause you keep talking But I'm no civil whore, civil bore Remember you started this Sight in and take aim Let loose... Like a machine gun No break, between a hit You're a machine gun And I'm running on for cover Like a machine gun The hurting never quits I'm under fire Fire! Machine... Too bad for you You're not the right calibre Smoke-stacked and bested by a girl Our treaty lost, thrown out through the window Watch out 'cause I learned from the best... Now I'm a machine gun You're gonna learn how to take a hit I'm an extreme one I'll have you running on for cover Like a machine gun The hurt will never quit I'm aiming higher 'Cause I am becoming your machine gun And I'm never, ever gonna quit You're under fire Fire! Machine...

The basic concept of truth seems to evade you But I am here to set it right I will not squander my faith On fading, failing illusions Longing will not rule my fate Derailing, ailing... Conjure storms, I'll take my chances For I know that justice will come dance upon your grave You coward Parading secrets you steal Instilling, willing confusion Playing the part as you feel Fulfilling, killing... Cast your stones, I'll take my chances For I know that Justice comes to dance upon the graves of Cowards Red skies and diamond blades Dead nights and minds ablaze Tenacious racing toward a checkmate And you know I'm right No gracious winner in that game And the noose is tight Fed lies, a common rage It's martial law to advocate No partial call could bear the weight Though foresworn, you take your chances You should know that soon there will be no one left to save you Show your scorn, I'll take my chances For I know that justice will come spit into your brain You coward Coward Justice calls your name In the end You can be sure Coward I'll take my chances You coward

I lie to myself again and take a step away The more that I hold it in, the more the beast escapes The fire burns the skin But it can cauterize the sin I’m hoping this time it will be the end With the curtains drawn (I hate to say it, but you know that I like it) And the lights turned down (Once you say it, ain’t no way to deny it) My channel is on, but it don’t matter once the urge is gone Been out on a binge Now you know that I’ve got to purge My will is now paper thin, my mind is bound to crack Some part of me loves the spin and wants you on my back I keep the lighting low If I’m discreet, they’ll never know But now and again, I move too slow With the curtains drawn (I hate to say it, but you know that I like it) And the lights turned down (Once you say it, ain’t no way to deny it) My channel is on, but it don’t matter once the urge is gone Been out on a binge Now you know that I’ve got to purge Purge me of this, please take it away Cleanse me of this I just need to purge all this away With the curtains drawn (I hate to say it, but you know that I like it) And the lights turned down (Once you say it, ain’t no way to deny it) Now the urge is gone, can’t deny it And I know it’s wrong But I like it

Elusive in the deepest acts of taking Conducive to the horrid act of breaking Bending the laws to your every whim I cannot win... Productive in the fakest indignation Seductive in the foulest fornication Sending the cause into torrid sin I cannot win... But why would I give in to give up? Run to put it out Extinguish this world on fire Once we’re going down We’ll all languish in the mire Can we put it out? We’ve all grown so very tired We’re too late Heart rate is critical Recessive in a sea of domination Depressive by the means of resignation Lending the awes to the fires within I cannot win... Elective is the course of action’s sermon Selective is the process to determine Tending with gauze all the wounds of the din I cannot win... So why should I give in to give up? Run to put it out Extinguish this world on fire Once we’re going down We’ll all languish in the mire Can we put it out? We’ve all grown so very tired We’re too late Heart rate is critical We’re falling down into utter descension We spiral round into utter descension Hope goes to ground, into utter descension We’re falling down...

If I give in will you leave it alone, tyrannous soul? Seething, you leave me to dance on my own Vexed and offended again I ache, you take It’s such a familiar subject Irate outbreaks We’re down to the final countdown On your knees You won’t get a “pretty please” See and you will believe I’d say your righteousness is barely legal On your knees No cure for this disease Already feel the heat I gotta get low Now bow to the ego Throwing your tantrum, I built up my wall Brick after brick No bed of roses awaiting your fall Patience is slipping again No shame, just blame The air has the taste of sulphur Low aim, untamed This may be the final meltdown On your knees You won’t get a “pretty please” See and you will believe I’d say your righteousness is barely legal On your knees No cure for this disease Already feel the heat I gotta get low Now bow to the ego Please, Sir, won’t you ever think before you speak? Now nothing can stop up this leak I’m tired, so many egos to please It’s draining me weak My head’s bruised, all used Is this what you really wanted? Blown fuse, you lose The one thing we all can count on...

Foolish was I to have believed you Insufferable acts did I endure I never betrayed, never deceived you Was always behaved, ever demure So long to all the poetry of emotion It’s crumpled up and strewn upon the floor So long to all the sunflowers in my garden For they’ll not taste the raindrops anymore Betrayed by your whispered lullabies and empty cries The lake damming up all my solemn pride has left me dry Forsake all of the thousand counterfeit sighs You fake it You make it that I was mistaken Sanctity fled beyond retrieval The church of my heart was not enough I cannot believe you’d be so evil Devotion besieged and left to rust So long to all the harmony of emotion She left before we could settle up the score So long to all the violets in my garden For they’ll not see the sunlight anymore Betrayed by your whispered lullabies and empty cries The lake damming up all my solemn pride has left me dry Forsake all of the thousand counterfeit sighs You fake it You make it that I was mistaken Too many signs ignored Beneath the rose are always thorns And Sleeping Beauty never will awaken Now wasted time and fairytales are all I see within your name And every way I ever was mistaken

Crucial is the tie that binds But I refuse to be defined by the power you’re believing is a rarity A blessing thrown into reverse Never meant to be and turning worse Blocking any chance of finding clarity Hold onto me I’ll be your landing strip Let your anger out You’d never hurt me If you’re curious, I owe you Dig deeper into me Your fate is to be mastered And I’ll make you feel it If you want to know, I’ll show you Come closer and you’ll see That my name is your disaster And I’ll make you scream it Fusion of the heart and mind I tried and failed; I’m not that kind You’d better up and leave ‘cause I’m a hurricane A vandal, damage is my game I bend the rules, I’ll never change You’re better off, believe me I would be your bane Cold as can be The way you crack your whip I can take it all And still your aching If you’re curious, I owe you Dig deeper into me Your fate is to be mastered And I’ll make you feel it If you want to know, I’ll show you Come closer and you’ll see That my name is your disaster And I’ll make you scream it Low we might sink So tighten up your grip I see you there You won’t desert me And though you might think you’ll never find your way I won’t give up till you’re converted Kneel before me Tempt me, bore me Dare to lose your head You’re wrong! Don’t believe me Stand naive and bare You won’t be there for long! If you’re furious, I know you You’ll never let it be Your name is my catastrophe And now I see it

First off, you hear it said somehow that everything’s fair in love and war How is it right to destroy a life to the core? But did you stop and ever wonder what it means to trade your love for a battle scar? No one wins in the outs and ins of the heart The outs and ins of the heart Civil war and now to mend a broken hearted land will take a hundred years or more What’s it worth if you’re ending up in the dirt? She said, “You can’t force an army to care for a loss not theirs.” (Chorus) Tears of ages dry, for pain is not retainable We pass the time caught up in our power struggles All the wasted lives And every one explainable We justify every casualty Sarah Dowd felt her heart bleed out when the letter came She was a widow now So much pain, yet we move along every day She said, “The sound still rings in my head a dream shot dead.” (Chorus) Tears of ages dry, for pain is not retainable We pass the time caught up in our power struggles All the wasted lives And every one explainable We justify every casualty Oh, we quickly forget the sound of regret With hate in our heart and blood in the sand So we’re doomed to repeat mistakes that we keep committing Don’t we ever suspect that the way we’re living isn’t how it’s meant to be? March on, hold your flags up high and don’t forget what you’re fighting for Deadly sins for a mortal win in the corps She said, “There’s no one who can declare a war on warfare.” (Chorus) Tears of ages dry, for pain is not retainable We pass the time caught up in our power struggles All the wasted lives And every one explainable We justify every casualty Every casualty Throughout history Tears of ages dry Oh, they dry

Insist on taking the path of least resistance Less hurdles to jump at first with less consistency It’s fine, as long as you go and roll with all the punches With your rubber-ball-thick-skinned-novocain-impervious self You’re telling yourself that it’s not so bad... You sweet, sweet fool You know, you could have it all But you keep it inside till you feel the tremors way down inside your blood and bones You sweet, sweet fool You so could have had it all But you’re determined to walk down your path of least resistance Well, the choice is your own Watch out: this time the bite is worse than the bark is And the sun can be just as blinding as the darkness is So apt to make the mountain now into a molehill While you wish and hope, dream on, thinking that you’re safe on your shelf Keep telling yourself that it’s not that bad... But it’s so damn sad You sweet, sweet fool You know, you could have it all But you keep it inside till you feel the tremors way down inside your blood and bones You sweet, sweet fool You so could have had it all But you’re determined to walk down your path of least resistance Well, the choice is your own Gloss over the cracks till the next earthquake comes Shaking you down to the San Andreas through your heart Run, you wild mustang, while you’re tethered to your pole And eat the poisoned apples that the wicked witch has fed your soul

Into the dissonance I fall Carried by an instant force Craving for harmony, but playing the odds I see a light in the tunnel But I step to the left Put my hands to my hips and do the dance I cannot hear you, ground control And it seems they cut the rope Weightless, I seem to fall And it feels so good Into the dissonance I fall And I don’t want to lose control But every moment I enjoy Will keep the dissonance Yes, life was good to me, I know And I don’t want to let it go I will come back soon and try again I’d be a raving fool to say that I wish it all away Yes, I knew the consequences like I knew the gains So do you think I’m out of tune? Or these tones don’t fit the song? Just a little melody in a much bigger symphony Into the dissonance I fall And I don’t want to lose control But every moment I enjoy Will keep the dissonance Into the dissonance I fall And I don’t want to let it go But every moment I enjoy Will keep it dissonant Set me free, please Could you exorcise me And I’d start again Please help me... Into the dissonance I fall And I don’t want to lose control But every moment I enjoy Will keep the dissonance Into the dissonance I fall And I don’t want to let it go But every moment I enjoy Will keep it dissonant

Everybody wants their little piece of you And it’s being spread so very thin It pains me to see how you’re torn at the corners again, my friend The jagged edge is wicked and it shows Better slow it down Remind yourself again Look at where you’re bound Rewind yourself and then In the lost and found Find yourself, remind yourself Better slow it down While you put your dreams off on your waiting list Someday the tomorrows cease to come These handcuffs are fool’s gold; you’re stuck in a corner So then, my friend, you’ll have to find the key down in the dirt Better slow it down Remind yourself again Look at where you’re bound Rewind yourself and then In the lost and found Find yourself, remind yourself Better slow it down Take a deep breath and take care For this will get you nowhere Don’t let the madness get you So many people love you And I do I would fight for you I would... I never want to be another one of them It’s not my thing to slave trade you for time I want you to know you’ve got me in your corner till the end, my friend So know that you can always count on me
