DISC 1


1. GOING TO PASALACQUA

[Verse]
Here we go again - Infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh - But then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Well - I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of effection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well - I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey

[Chorus]
Would it last forever?
If you and I together - Hand and hand
We run away - Far away
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give
That comes my way - Far away

[Verse]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Far away


2. 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
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

[Chorus]
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it 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

[Chorus]

Dear mother - Can you hear me laughing?
It's been six whole months
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

[Chorus]

Paradise


3. GEEK STINK BREATH

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth

[Chorus]
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line

[Chorus]

I'm on a mission
I've got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first

[Chorus]

Geek stink breath


4. ONE OF MY LIES

When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think you're indestructible
And no one can touch you
Well - I think you're disposable
And it's time you knew the truth

[Chorus]
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well - It's just one of my lies
And all I wanted to was get real high
Well - It's just one of my lies

Why does my life have to be so small?
Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer 'cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you're been there once
Well - I hardly think so

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too
Why?


5. STUCK WITH ME

I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope

[Chorus]
Cast out - Buried in a hole
Struck down - Forcing me to fall
Destroyed - Giving up the fight
Well - I know I'm not alright

What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell

[Chorus] (x2)


6. 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

[Chorus]
Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb

You're the cloud hanging out over my head
Hail comes crashing down
Welting my face
Magic man - Egocentric plastic man
Yet you still get one over on me

[Chorus]

I'm a chump


7. LONGVIEW

I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on
I 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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for the motivation
Smoking my inspiration

I 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 lonely

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


8. 2000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY

[Verse]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light years away

[Chorus]
She holds my malachite so tight so
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years away

I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Look out as far as I can
I can't see her but in the distance
I hear some laughter
We laugh together

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]


9. 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 prow
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

[Chorus]
No time to search the world around
Cause 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 flag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

[Chorus] (x2)

When I come around (x3)


10. 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

[Chorus]
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead

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

[Chorus] (x2)

Dead

[Chorus] (x2)

Dead


11. 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 heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched 2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning 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
When it's all said and done
It's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun?

Let's nuke the bridge we torched 2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Say

[Bridge]
You're just a fuck
I can't explain it 'cause 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'm taking pleasure in the doubts I pass to you
So listen up 'cause you might miss

[Bridge]

Good night


DISC 2


1. ARMATAGE SHANKS

Stranded - Lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
I'm branded - Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself

[Chorus]
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning and no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted deviot

[Chorus]

Stranded - Lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot

[Chorus]

I'm gettin' pissed
I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind


2. BRAIN STEW

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for cross stops in my mind

On my own - Here we go

[Verse]
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own - Here we go

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense is dulled
Passed the point of delirium

On my own - Here we go

[Verse]

On my own - Here we go


3. JADED

Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank

[Chorus]
Always move forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere

I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray! - We're gonna die!
Blessed into our extinction

[Chorus] (x2)

In nowhere (x2)


4. KNOWLEDGE

I know - Things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off
The bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now
It's looking fucking narrow

(x2)
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

We get tought to decide
Just like as if I'm not gonna change my mind

(x2)
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

Bee

Whatcha gonna do with yourself?
Boy - Better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself?
You're running out of time

(x4)
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

And that's fine


5. 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

[Chorus]
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?
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
He 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?
Uh - Yuh - Yuh - Ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

[Chorus]


6. SHE

She - She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

[Chorus]
Are you locked up in a world
That's 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
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

[Chorus] (x2)


7. WALKING CONTRADICTION

[Verse]
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit's so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb

Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf - Blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a victim of a catch 22

[Chorus]
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

[Verse]

[Chorus] (x2)


8. DOMINATED LOVE SLAVE

I wanna be your dominated love slave
I wanna be the one who takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Mack me in the forehead with a chain

[Chorus]
'Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive them staples deep

I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a belt sinder against my skin
Wanna feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins

[Chorus]

Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive staples
