We’re a different fucking breed This isn’t second nature Straight edge isn’t for the weak Everyday we fight the urge to feel more at ease We stand on our toes, While you’re weak at the knees Pop, snort, breathe drink... It’s what you need to feel worthy. A life free of what you need, is the life for me. POP. SNORT. BREATHE. DRINK. The more you fill you body up You more you feel empty.

Not now, never were. Here now, gone tomorrow. Where were you when we needed you? When this feel apart? Dead walk, to dead stop Were never slowing down Choices burned and thrown away Decide your own fate. Down. The. Drain. I’ve seen both ways, I’ve tried to live, But this, I can’t change. One by one, I watched them fall. But to you, we seem strange. Not now, never were. Here now, gone tomorrow. Where were you when we needed you? When this feel apart? Dead walk, to dead stop Were never slowing down Choices burned and thrown away Decide your own fate. DOWN THE DRAIN There’s no excuse for what you’ve done, So just be through. Never say you miss the edge, This edge dont miss you

better days 01:38
You’ve seen better days, In fold-out ads, on TV screens Bar tabs for expensive drinks, Perfume and designer jeans Longer days for bigger checks You try and cash for happiness Signed receipt, the feeling leaves You never learned, The better the things are free You lost touch from within Lost your self, lost your friends Deserted youth - lost your shine For couples nights & expensive wine? Longer days for bigger checks You try and cash for happiness Signed receipt, the feeling leaves You never learned, The better the things are free All day at work, and nights at home With all your things, but you're all alone And the friends you have, they don’t care They party hard, but aren’t ever there Poverty kept you sweet - dreams kept us young Days when we were penniless - we never had more fun So give up on your toys - think back to what holds value Not the dirt you own- but the people that surround you

You ran your course, you turned your back I was there for you, when you had your chance To make things right, to fix your life Get a grip man, And Find the light The truth: You did this to yourself. I know: Life wont help you get out. I pulled the knife, from every back Your hands were red, and your eyes were black This isn’t you, I refuse to watch The ones I love slip through the cracks Listen man, I know it’s hard to hear. But life is hard enough without the barrel to your ear Take back control, and turn the other cheek. You think your getting stronger, But you’re just getting weak. When your left alone – Find the light When this world is cold - Find the light When darkness takes a hold – find the light Don’t do this on your own and find the light.

side effects 01:51
Your skin is pale, your system’s weak You sit around all day, but get no sleep No appetite, just caffeine and cigs Still wondering why, you’re always so stressed Quick fix – take a pill Pop some more – feeling ill Side effects – different dose Empty bottle – coming close Your veins are like sewers, more toxins than Exxon Your brain’s in a haze and your energy’s far gone You shiver, then sweat....Pull out the prescriptions Side effects; of side effects, of self medication. Quick fix – take a pill Pop some more – feeling ill Coming down – different dose Empty bottle – coming close Nausea, insomnia, sexual dysfunction Fever, chest pain, loss of coordination Fatigue and agitation, unexplained swelling Tremors and hair loss, uncontrolled aggression Coma, blindness, worsening of depression These side effects are killing you Cut the medication quick fix - take a pill pop some more - feeling ill side effects - different dose empty bottle - OVERDOSE

Seize up. Shut down, Hand through the wall If you’ve got nothing nice to say don’t say it at all Speak first, listen last. Fist in your mouth Let another one slip, still thinking out loud You’ve got that clenched fist approach You’ve got pills to numb the pain You’ve got disaster on your hands With no one left to blame You’re just a jackhammer solution Slamming your head against the ground Seize up. Shut down Hand through the wall If you’ve got nothing nice to say Don’t say it at all You’re a knuckle dragging hominoid, With a club in your hand big stick solution Doesn’t make you a man.

pound 03:02
Again my testimony Is put behind the lens cuz were the only ones, still, Who haven’t given in. And at what length is ‘growing up’ Accepted as defense for taking back all the F A C T S You once called common sense. ‘Giving in’ & ‘growing up’ Are very different things Giving in means forfeiture Growth strengthens sense of being And for all the kids - all your friends, Who now watch you walk away? We’ve heard the plea of both before; and to us, they mean the same…. If our legacy’s determined By decisions that we’ve made, You’re ever-changing moral code Have crowned you as a “F A K E”. Cuz respect flows not from fountains But is nurtured like a son Your “choices” once called “promises” Have all but come undone So like a landmine being triggered Like warhead hit the ground the blast shakes down my being and then: I feel it pound Pound... pound...pound... these nails into my hands ashamed to wear this badge than leave it like a man pound...pound...pound these bricks over my head FORGET YOU ONCE BELIEVED IN US GO RUN WITH THEM INSTEAD
