01. DEVIL IN A MIDNIGHT MASS
A devil in a midnight mass,
He prayed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class,
Resurrected from the past
Hold your breath and count to four,
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing...
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight... at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”...don’t make it right
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Silent Night... at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!
A devil in a midnight mass,
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands,
Can never wash away his sins
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day,
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing...
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight... at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”...don’t make it right
Silent Night... for the rest of my life,
Silent Night... at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!
Whisper, whisper... don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground
02. RED FLAG
Cast of the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well I’ve never seen us act like this,
Our only hope is in the mind of kids,
And they’ll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
It’s only time before they tighten the noose,
And then the hunt will be on for you
The red flag waving never meant the same...
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
We’ll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if there’s a wall,
Don’t be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself, or they’ll speak for you
The red flag waving never meant the same...
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire, don’t need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like a riot, don’t need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr
We don’t need them!
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
We don’t need them
03. THIS SUFFERING
Like a target drawn across my chest,
She’s a bullet in Russian Roulette
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!
Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces...
This suffering!
Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!
And when she spins the bottle round and round,
Every time it leaves me gagged and bound
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!
Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind before it falls to pieces...
This suffering!
Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!
Misery, won’t get the best of me
‘Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff
Throw down the cards, I’ve had enough!
Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind before it falls to pieces...
This suffering!
Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!
04. WORKER BEES
March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!
We take our orders given by the queen
We’re not the killers, we’re the worker bees
If you resist us you will feel our sting
Surrender now before the swarm sets in
Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?
March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!
A pollination coming from the west,
And in a flash we will invade your nest
Supply of honey flowing bottomless
Play by our rules or you’ll be powerless
Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?
And we’ll march... along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride... the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord... above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?
And we’ll march... along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride... the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord... above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?
Can we fight to save our souls?
Will we die to save our home?
05. PINS AND NEEDLES
Never understood how she could,
Mean so little to so many
Why does she mean everything to me?
Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?
Questioning her good intention
Jealousy’s a bad invention
When you push on glass, it’s bound to break
Even when she was defensive,
It just gave me more incentive
The more you squeeze, the more it slips away
I never walked so far on a lonely street
With no-one there for me
Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?
Accept this confession! ...I’m walking on pins and needles
You’re not my possession! ...I’m walking on pins and needles
My conscience is vicious! ... I’m walking on pins and needles
And I’m begging forgiveness! ...I’m walking on pins and needles
I never walked so far on a lonely street,
With no one there for me
It took too long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me
That it’s worth the pain, always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go?
06. FALLEN LEAVES
In a crocked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn’t find at home
Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this will be my one last time!
In a crocked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!
In a crocked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
I never once thought, I’d never be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?
In a crocked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
07. WHERE IS THE LINE?
Urban Hipster, the new gangster... frontin’ by the club
New wave mannequins packin’ haircuts, instead of packin’ guns
Magazines from overseas, won’t teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts to tell them what is real
When did they assume... putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to... ostracize
Out of the woodwork... art aficionados
Answer one question...
Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
She sells street cred with no smile, at the local record store
She’s acting the role and dressing the part, pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity, is it bites without a sting
Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn’t mean a thing
When did they assume... putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to... ostracize
Out of the woodwork... art aficionados
Answer one question...
Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
08. COVERED IN COWARDICE
Twisted tongues will place you in their category
Face to face, you’ll hear them tell a different story
Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty’s forever
Exes of envy try to cut and try to server
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face,
That’s hidden underneath the...
Cover of cowardice
Can’t you see them!
Covered in cowardice
Can’t you hear them?
Beware the voice without a face,
That’s hidden underneath the...
Cover of cowardice
Can’t you see them!
Covered in cowardice
Can’t you hear them?
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care if feelings will get hurt
Their eyes are blinded by their rage,
Beware the voice without a face!
When you’re insecure, they’ll find the fuel to start a fire
They’re bitter pricks with only hatred to inspire
Level heads prevail... revenge won’t make it better
Trust your instinct like you trust what’s in the mirror
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face,
That’s hidden underneath the...
Cover of cowardice
Can’t you see them!

Cover of cowardice
Can’t you see them!
Covered in cowardice
Can’t you hear them?
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care if feelings will get hurt
Their eyes are blinded by their rage,
Beware the voice without a face!
A voice without a face!
09. SURRENDER
She reads a book from across the street,
Waiting for someone that she’ll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
She wonders why I’m always in a good mood
Killing time before she struts her stuff,
She needs support and I’ve become the crutch
She’ll never know how much she means to me,
I’d play the game but I’m the referee
Surrender... every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender... every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender... all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender... all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender... yourself to me
Even though I know what I’m looking for,
She’s got a brick wall behind her door
I’d travel time and confess to her,
But I’m afraid she’d shoot the messenger
Surrender... every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender... every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender... all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender... all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender... yourself to me
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me
This flower don’t belong to me
Why can’t she belong to me?
Surrender... every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender... every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender... all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender... all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender... yourself to me
I never had the nerve to ask,
Has my moment come and passed?
10. THE NAVY SONG
Time... rolling along with the waves,
A thousand miles away
Holding you close in the rain,
Seems just like yesterday
Lost... hope at a faraway place
And in my hand remains,
A black and white print of a face,
I’ll never see again
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Love... served until death do us part,
I’m drifting in the dark
Wounded and wishing to fall,
Into your faithful arms
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Beneath the sky of hate,
Beyond the sea of pain,
In heaven I will wait,
Until we meet again
I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
11. PERFECT WORLD
All we shared was a mattress, and a lie, and an address
Baby I don’t need you, well baby I don’t need you
Once occupied by a goddess, now it’s just a room full of boxes
She said, “it’s time to leave you” but baby I don’t need you!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn’t make me sick
I never got the hole story, not ‘til after she left me
Baby I don’t need you, well baby I don’t need you
Word on the street is she f**cked him, while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don’t need you, you’re fading in my review
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn’t make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... this wouldn’t make me sick!
Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Reset my memorie!
In a perfect world... her face would not exist
In a perfect world... a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world... I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world... this wouldn’t make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes...
12. SYMPATHY
A slap in the face,
And I can’t erase,
These things that you say,
Don’t make it all okay, it’s not okay
When push comes to shove,
I’ll put on the gloves,
Intensions are cruel,
I ain’t nobody’s fool you know
It hurts, my pride, step aside,
‘Cause I don’t need your...
Sympathy
Won’t get the best of me!
Misery
That’s what you’re giving me!
Sympathy
It’s just like trickery!
Breaking me down
A fistful of lies,
Dressed up in disguise,
And make no mistake,
I know they’re all so fake, they’re all so fake
My self-righteous friend,
I just can’t pretend,
Your words are the truth,
Sincere only when they suit you
It hurts, my pride, step aside,
‘Cause I don’t need your...
Sympathy
Won’t get the best of me!
Misery
That’s what you’re giving me!
Sympathy
It’s just like trickery!
Breaking me down
Sympathy
Won’t get the best of me!
Misery
That’s what you’re giving me!
Sympathy
It’s just like trickery!
Breaking me down
Breaking me down
13. BURN THE EVIDENCE
In a garage, beside a house, there is a luxury Sedan
And for his next monthly instalment,
He’s gonna go out with a bang!
Boy who always did what he was told,
Was promised to be king when he was old
Hit the brakes, hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face
There is a man, intensive care
When he awakes he will declare,
“I’ve been dead for 20 years!
I won’t let 20 more go by...”
Boy who always did what he was told,
Bought the only dream that he was sold
Hit the brakes, Hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face
Burn the evidence... of my existence,
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence... of all these things,
That pull my spirit down
Ever feel like you’ve been cheated,
Following what they believe?
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
There’s no more time to waste!
Burn the evidence... of my existence,
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence... of all these things,
That pull my spirit down
Burn the evidence!
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
There’s no more time to waste!
