You've got me by the neck You want me to believe you But that is something that I swore that I would never do I'm eating what I want I'm drinking what I feel You should consider that I'm human and my life is real How does it feel?!? You're treating me like shit So, that's how I'll treat you back The daily routine of your mouth is gonna get you smacked Why do you even care what I do with myself? Your sense of humor is gonna leave you lost with no one else No one else!!! SHUT UP DON'T TALK JUST TURN AROUND AND WALK You've got me by the neck You want me to believe you But that is something that I swore that I would never do I'm eating what I want I'm drinking what I feel You should consider that I'm human and my life is real How does it feel?!? SHUT UP DON'T TALK JUST TURN AROUND AND WALK TURN AND WALK! You've got me by the neck You want me to believe you But that is something that I swore that I would never do Why do you even care what I do with myself? Your sense of humor is gonna leave you lost with no one else No one else!!! SHUT UP DON'T TALK JUST TURN AROUND AND WALK

BRAIN CLOUD 02:06
All things are crazy and all things are weird With an ego of emotions and a room that's filled with fear Whiny, complaining and right up in your face Getting closer by the second so you get the same taste I'm up all through the night My sweaty bed is right I'll never sleep the same again I'm always thinking of it Will it come today? Or, will it get away? I haven't punched my ticket yet Get ready, here we go! I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to be a number or a secret code NO! I don't want to live my life this way It's all about the heart With it you cannot part It all depends on how we live Standing or on your knees, man! This life is out of sight Potential dynamite That endless void is gonna wake us in our beds all screaming!! I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to be a number or a secret code NO! I don't want to live my life this way All things are crazy and all things are weird With an ego of emotions and a room that's filled with fear Whiny, complaining and right up in your face Getting closer by the second so I get the same taste I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to live my life this way NO! I don't want to be a number or a secret code NO! I don't want to live my life this way

I sit alone and scrape the walls with my eyes in a daze I wonder and I dream about escaping from this maze As days go by, I watch time fly A bitter, sweet, sad tune I take a step from the muddy ground into my boring room Super inhibitions of a time when all that isn't can't come true The cheap escape is second rate When my time comes, I won't hesitate to say goodbye to everything and anything I know I drink a beer, get filled with cheer until I hit the floor Now I'm passed out; open my mouth in order to pour more The room, it spins inside my head But I won't drink and drive Another value left to learn, in order to survive Super inhibitions of a time when all that isn't can't come true The cheap escape is second rate When my time comes, I won't hesitate to say goodbye to everything and anything I know Bitch slap Have respect People never look within the skull Language is now but a fad Conversation is void and null Smile awhile and simmer down, because a frown is hard to work Progression of aggression is a trend of mass obsession Going down into the ground with everything and anything I know!

I walk in with my own cup It's my only pick-me-up And the sugar is so sweet I drink that shit eight days a week It's a part of everyday life I drink from the mug that's filled by you So, keep it on and don't run out It's breakfast, lunch and supper, too Any day and any way, I'll find you and I'll ask for more So, support my addiction Give me coffee Here's your tip, I'm out the door Now, we'll never give it up We pay homage to the cup Carve my name into the seat Beer and coffee can't be beat It's a part of everyday life I drink from the mug that's filled by you So, keep it on and don't run out It's breakfast, lunch and supper, too Any day and any way, I'll find you and I'll ask for more So, support my addiction Give me coffee Here's your tip, I'm out the door [spoken] Yeah, I've been waiting forty-five minutes for a refill on my coffee Flo's over there tellin' me to kiss her grits and I'm like, "fuck you, Flo!" I expect my coffee to be refilled five fuckin' times in ten minutes Ya know, I drink my coffee like water Give me some fuckin' coffee!! THIS SHIT DRIVES ME INSANE! It's a part of everyday life I drink from the mug that's filled by you So, keep it on and don't run out It's breakfast, lunch and supper, too Any day and any way, I'll find you and I'll ask for more So, support my addiction Give me coffee Here's your tip, I'm out the door

UNACCEPTANCE 02:21
The ending of another day I watch the time decay Aggression coming through Intense, unconscious moves I don't even know you Come and take me But don't wake me I'm at my peace when I'm in sleep All of it's true, it's not just you It's all you see on your T.V. Why can't we say, "it's all okay?" Living in health, being ourselves Accepting the reality But not what you can't see Not a good thing to do, when death is taking you I don't even know you Come and take me But don't wake me I'm at my peace when I'm in sleep All of it's true, it's not just you It's all you see on your T.V. Why can't we say, "it's all okay?" Living in health, being OURSELVES

I just might be a jerk, but I don't mind How I act is up to me and that's just fine Sick, sick Fill the bowl, but not too much Just hanging out with my brain, numb to the touch I do it over again I know I'll never win No fun, no fun We're not together, so... I hold onto the edge, but I'm breaking down Jump the gun, eat all the food, sleep on the ground Wreak havoc in the street at A-25 Six hundred bucks of damage done, but I'm still alive I do it over again I know I'll never win No fun, no fun We're not together, so... FUCK YOU! That's what I said SHUT UP! Shut up your head I just might be a jerk, but I don't mind How I act is up to me and that's just fine Sick, sick Fill the bowl, but not too much Just hanging out with my brain, numb to the touch I'd do it over again But I know I'll never win No fun, no fun We're not together, so... FUCK YOU! That's what I said SHUT UP! Shut up your head I know things will be alright INSUBORDINATION

PUNKINHEAD 02:42
Kill indecision before I am gone Paint my walls filthy with grey Everyone's changing for better or worse Make me sick, I must say... Silence the minds of the avid unknown I'm bored of the things I've heard about you About you!! Shut up already I've heard way too much She's used more than my old skateboard She's feeling revealing Her love I am stealing Oh my, the things Mike would say Silence the minds of the avid unknown I'm bored of the things I've heard about you About you!!

I don't believe in anything corrupted by The Man Life for sale on QVC Progression breaks the hand You sorry sack, you should read braille You're blind like a bat Vampires drink the blood of greed, dipped in the corporate vat Everyone is clothed with choice, filling out their own demands They point the finger at beliefs and put me down without release I run away, but they find me again I won't let go - Back off of me Hit my nerve - Makes me stronger Brotherhood of my friends Walking in the light of life I change a lot - Every day I distort the words they say I can see what is real I care all about creation now!! louder, louder, you've got to speak louder Louder, Louder, You've Got To Speak Louder LOUDER, LOUDER, YOU'VE GOT TO SPEAK LOUDER

The honest man was working hard, devoted to the land No information came to him and nothing else was said He built his house with his two hands No T.V. to be seen No cars to run his children over No money to be green The world was slow Blinded by progression, he began to make new toys Jets and cars and trips to Mars and more machines of noise Computers took his mind away and money took his soul T.V. took imagination The Weak lost all control of their reality Technology taking over Gonna take your life away Technology run you over Getting dumber every day Now people think that it's okay, that's just the way it goes Typing up their documents, stuck up their snotty nose The faster something goes is the faster it will break A new invention Kill us all Oops, now it's too late The world was slow Technology taking over Gonna take your life away Technology run you over Getting dumber every day Insight!!
