BURNOUT
I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing bored
In my smoked out boring room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Oh, apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I don't mind
I've lived inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Dead...
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Dead...
HAVING A BLAST
I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I wont listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway
No one is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about those times you spent and what they've ment
To me it's nothing, to me it's nothing
To me it's nothing, to me it's nothing
I'm loosing all my happiness
The happiness you pinned on me
Loneliness still comforts me
My anger dwells inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
And all the shit you put me through
No one is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about those times you spent and what they've ment
To me it's nothing, to me it's nothing
To me it's nothing, to me it's nothing
Do you ever think back to another time?
Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction?
And mow down any bullshit that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to nothing?
To me it's nothing, to me it's nothing
To me it's nothing
CHUMP
I don't know you but I think I hate you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange how you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face
Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sence
Or maybe I'm just dumb
You're the cloud hanging out over my head
Hail comes crushing down welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still got one over on me
Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sence
Or maybe I'm just dumb
LONGVIEW
Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for the motivation
Smoking my inspiration
Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I was slipping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
WELCOME TO PARADISE
Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Coz now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland
I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland
I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
Since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland
I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
PULLING TEETH
I'm all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on my knees
After all shes the one
Who put me in this state
Is she ultra-violent, is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God she killing me
For now I'll lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
Is she ultra-violent, is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God she's killing me
Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm locked in here
All I do is cry
For now I'll lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
BASKET CASE
Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore she said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned?
SHE
She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
We...
Wait for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
We...
Walking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
Ahh!
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
SASSAFRAS ROOTS
Roaming 'round your house wasting your time
No obligation, just wasting your time
So why are you alone wasting your time?
When you can be with me wasting your time
I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too?
Warding off regrets wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes wasting your time
I'm just a parasite wasting your time
Applying myself to wasting your time
Well I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too?
So why are you alone wasting your time?
When you can be with me wasting your time
I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
WHEN I COME AROUND
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
You been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Coz you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
COMING CLEAN
Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeletons come to life in my closet
I found out what it takes to be a man
But Mom and Dad will never understand
What's happening to me
Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now Mom and Dad will never understand
What's happened to me
EMENIUS SLEEPUS
I saw my friend the other day
And I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It doesn't show
It wasn't that long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home
How have I been, how have you been?
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time?
And what went wrong?
I knew you back when
And you, you knew me then
And now I think you're sick
I wanna go home
Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you loose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true...
It wasn't that long ago
I was just like you
And now I think you're sick and
I wanna go home
IN THE END
All brawn and no brains and all those nice things
Yeah you finally got what u want
Someone to look good with and light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?
I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
So... I hope I won't be there
In the end when you come around
How long will he last
Before he's a creep in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up again and be my "special friend"
Till the end and when will that be?
I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
So... I hope I won't be there
In the end when you come around
I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
So... I hope I won't be there
In the end when you come around
F.O.D
Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I've heard before
Your head trip's boring me
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this feeling in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
Stuck down in a rut
Of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
Well its all said and done
It's real and its been fun
But was it all real fun?
Let's nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this feeling in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
You're just a fuck
I can't explain it coz I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I've taken pressure in the guts and it's for you
So listen up cause you might miss
You're just a fuck
I can't explain it coz I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Good night...
I was alone
I was all by myself
No one was looking
I was thinking of you
And did I mention... I was all by myself?
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself
I went to your house
No one was in
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself
All by myself
