Recording Update

I finished guitars last sunday
they are sounding awesome!
I can't wait for people to hear these
We should be done tracking by February
and hopefully have them soon after that

Creating A Catastrophe

ake a look at this man and tell me what you see
never has suffering been so easy
on a darkened stage for all to watch
completely exposed and externally distraught

why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown? so hes all in black
why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown?

Change what you have
change what you hate
so they wont escape
we have responsabilities
to uphold

His position is embarassing to say the least
All eyes upon him from his head to his feet
On a darkened stage for all to mock
Completely exposed more silent than a ticking clock

why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown? so hes all in black
why the hat? to hide his face
why the gown?

Change what you have
change what you hate
so they wont escape
we have responsabilities
to uphold

All Night

you didnt know she was everything you hated
over and over in your mind you debated
she climbed up to your spine to get to your heart
she didnt know just where to park

all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare
all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare

all this is, just take a sip of wine
screw a lonely man, it'll all be fine
try harder (try harder)
in the morning you'll be smarter

all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare
all night (all night)
dont care
screaming staccato and pulling her hair
singing vibrato and whispering stare

When It Reigns

world over freedom's ceased
Under shadow's rule, west to east
The global economy is soon our own
no tradition's left, no morals shown

Boston's worries are no longer key
When power's to be sought across the sea
Iraq, Korea and the Chinese
will all be in conrtol of DC

We're not there to save, We'll take them to their grave
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Those who try to block the way, will meet their death the very next day
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY

As America's poverty gets the worse
world domination comes in first
Jobless millions join the military
Killing the masses to keep us free

We view the lies everyday
accepted as the truth the very same way
Mass destruction, and terrorist plots
believe in the lie even when they're caught

We're not there to save, We'll take them to their grave
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Those who try to block the way, will meet their death the very next day
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY

Theres no freedom left, Its not war, its theft
Freedom through tyranny, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Don't even try to get out free, the world is ruled from DC
Freedom Through Tyrany, DEATH TO LIBERTY
Dropping bombs from planes. Is this how freedom reigns?
Freedom through tyranny, DEATH TO LIBERTY
and now we all march to the same beat, stealing the land benieth their feet
believing the lie, bringing the death. burning the world til theres no one left

You Want It Back

Yesterday I woke up
i had the best day of my life
you know i woke up and i didn't ask why

Why? It hit me
that i didn't need you
I don't want that
got better things to do

Because I realized i was
wasting my time with you
i wont sit back and be told what to do

Maybe one day you'll
change your spoiled ways
‘but frankly I aint got the time to waste
cause you say

You want it back, the same old way
But its not what you wanted yesterday
you want it back, that's what you say
but who says you wont change your mind
tomorrow or the next day

because you're fucked, you're crazy
you cant let go
i figured someone ought to let you know
because you're fucked, you're crazy
you cant let go
i figured it was time for me to let you go
And you know its true what they say
you cant always have it your way
im done with that its time for me
to take what's mine

i turned in my badge and my gun
im sorry toots but i really gotta run
i cannot take this every changing lifestyle
i wont hear it one last time that

You want it back, the same old way
But its not what you wanted yesterday
you want it back, that's what you say
but who says you wont change your mind
tomorrow or the next day

Badap Badap

Nine times out of ten I'll be right (I'll be right)
You cant stop me from doing my best
Each time you look me in the eye (In the eye)
I feel like I want to (Vermont) Explode

Why did your parents tell you
to always give up, to always back down (give in)?
Why did your mother teach you
to always give in? youre wrong as a sin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?

Someone hit me up top (up top!) *high five someone*
Cause I just proved your ass wrong again
Someoneone hit me up top (up top!) *high five someone*
Cause I just made you look like a fool

Why did your parents tell you
to always give up, to always back down (give in)?
Why did your mother teach you
to always give in? youre wrong as a sin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Is that all you got?

Just Regression

hey whens the last time i asked you a question
way long 'fore all this aggression
hey can i just make one suggestion
nay send it down to repression
this aint progress its just regression

now i tip it back, and drink myself away
cause everythings the same
you count the vote but you dont change what you say
cause everythings the same
it will never change

hey whens the last time i asked you a question
way long 'fore all this aggression
hey can i just make one suggestion
nay send it down to repression
this aint progress its just regression


now i tip it back, and drink myself away
cause everythings the same
you count the vote but you dont change what you say
cause everythings the same
it will never change

Breathe

Oh! So we're all put on this earth to die
and i cant think of any reason to live
i'm just looking for a way out
i dont need anybody or anything

so tonight (so tonight) i'm giving up my body
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
every time i suffer

Oh! so I sing the same song of my life
and I visit the same damn places going home
Its like a broken record player always on repeat
I know what words to sing before those words i meet

so tonight (so tonight) i'm giving up my body
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
every time i suffer

So we're all put on this earth to die
and i cant think of any reason to live
i'm just looking for a way out
i dont need anybody or anything

(everytime I suffer)

Ursa Major

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river (3x)
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood

sent by your hand
off the edge
burnt by the man
the occupied preoccupied
by what is done and said

under oceans
atlantis in the bay
with no quick motions
the ignorant diligent
survive by what they say

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river (3x)
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood

Constant distractions
to erase all trace of your mistakes
divided into fractions
the faction's reaction is never on its way

Our interactions
based on what is projected
leave no reactions
you leave your pride for all to be protected

levee, im going to stop the river
stop the river
levee, im going to stop the river
stop the flood (2x)

Forge On!

and just when you thought that you weren't wrong
all tables turn and you wish you knew all along
those moments you wish that you had back
your time is wasted and that is clear fact

and though they try to say that it is me and its you
who tops the last one with something new
when will it be the one that really cares
to take me somewhere nice with something that we share

I think some day
i'll get our of here, i'll move away
but just for now i can close my eyes
and never deal with you again


and just when you thought that you were right
we start again, another fight
you ask me why i think the way i do
because the descision is up to me not you

don't think i'm coming around again
cross my heart to pretend that we are friends
you turn to me to make ammends
and i say, i never want to see your face again

I think some day
i'll get our of here, i'll move away
but just for now i can close my eyes
and never deal with you again

Take Point

Everything fraught with confusion
I dont even know who’s real
who’s an illusion
I’m sailing without a keel

Im sick of all your bullshit
theres no living without the live
but you dont care you buy in
you cant believe without the lie

whats the point of being alive
if theres no greater pain than life
whats the point of being alive
if im already dead inside

Everything In Between

i'll take a hit of this shit, everything will be just fine
avoid the problems in my hands, erase whats on my mind
i'll take one more for the road and i'm still left feeling cold
you can guess that i'm a mess, will i regret things when I'm old?

Just another story
of full blown teenage glory
filled with years of apathy
and everything in between

and i shall pity the fool
who does just what to be cool
the party is in your head
you eat the shit that you are fed


I can see you turning now and thats just way too bad
Don't ever stop and ask me how you lost the things you one had
Another hit to take the pain, numb my eyes my heart my speach
now that hope is lost and luck is out of reach

Just another story
of full blown teenage glory
filled with years of apathy
and everything in between

and i shall pity the fool
who does just what to be cool
the party is in your head
you eat the shit that you are fed


YOU HAVE A HEAD
SO USE IT

In Vein

ive heard all those things theyve said
but you can never judge those words as true
and each time i wrote in they said
now boy, whatchya gonna do

well i dont know what my plans are
but i always have a plan b
this place its in my blood my veins
its taking a hold of me

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word

they strap me to my chair to do my work
its a cushion of needles and pins
i dance all night with the shadows
mozart in the background and a bottle of bourbon

girl taking me away from you
its vein youre my heroin
its the worst decision i could have made
i need you youre under my skin

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word

Duck And Cover

you're too blind to see
but thats who you want to be
i know the truth
the lies arent good enough for me

as we dehumanize
the world around you dies
and when its all gone
dont act so surprised

duck and cover
believe all the lies
duck and cover
the world around you dies

we want the truth thats it
none of this fucking shit
while youre hiding from the lies
men are lying in the crypt

so when your shipped away
dont you ever say
well i didnt know
the country had gone this way

duck and cover
believe all the lies
duck and cover
the world around you dies

Less Talk More Rock

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought I'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I don't care if you are singing, screaming or just yelling

no one cares about what you know
they all paid money to see a show
don't you think you should impress some girls your age
but you wont do that with your banter onstage

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

yeah sure you can talk watch for how long
cause I've seen bands talk more than play songs
and i know why you think you're so funny
cause you're doing nothing and taking peoples money

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought I'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I just want to hear you play for the cash that i'm shelling

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

IF ITS TOO LOUD
THEN YOU'RE TOO OLD
