Up rise, revolt, and overthrow – Damn the dominant Superior subordinate – Up rise, revolt, revise, overthrow Condemn the incorrect – Crush class consciousness – Destroy Speciousness is a poison – Corrupting dissidents But I will not bend... Offer hope to hopeless – Helpless and virtually dead Up rise, revolt, rethink, revise – Overthrow, damn, condemn Destroy damned dominant – Superior subordinate rise Rising and despising – Hatred grows silently Outraged, outcast, at last alone... Undone hate and oppression – undone damned dominant Assumed the hate and power – became the dominant Up rise, revolt, and overthrow – Rule with your own iron fist Sick and insane subordinate – Oppressed is now oppressor But I will not bend...

29 times 04:41
29 times I tried to clean up this mess Don’t blame me, I’ve always tried to do my best 29 times I tried to save the world Always ends the same darkness and bitter cold 29 times Plays like a record broken Comes down to those last few words left unspoken Crush me - oh believe me Crush me - oh free me Am I out here all alone? Why can’t others bear this load? 29 times Tried to play the martyr The rest of the world Proved to be so much smarter 29 times I lay down on the track Time and again Some unknown faith has pulled me back 29 times I fell into this empty space Hoping to vanish, to go without a trace Crush me I feel sick Crush me Oh fuck it Am I out here all alone? Why can’t others bear this load? Crush me I feel sick Crush me Oh fuck it Am I out here all alone? Why can’t others bear this load?

The illness 02:37
Alas – The illness comes again Slumber is no use rest pointless… I simply toss and turn – Grow tired and sick – Disgusting distress… My soul again prepares for This slow and silent death And my once sharp senses Become duller daily And oh – This gut wrenching nauseating sorrow… Persistence of time never ceases To haunt – My lust for life grows dim Fleeting memories – Distant past Well, there was life and love there We were not afraid then Now dreadfully old and all alone We’re where we always wanted We’re where we never wanted… And oh – This gut wrenching, nauseating sorrow… We love to hate to be alone Tell me – Will time never pass? and it passes – And each day… Each hour’s more burdensome… So I beg you – Will time never cease? Oh, dear god, will time ever cease? But we still have our youth… Oh we still have our youth… And oh – This gut wrenching, nauseating sorrow… sorrow sorrow

Life speeding violently - days slip away quietly Desperately long time coming - so quickly, the longing subsides Silently, still violently - thrust headlong into reality Dug deep in this endless rut - on a journey that is but finite... Trying - no, never trying Forever reaching Never living - ever loving Madness, endless - senselessness Tell me there is yet hope - surely there must be meaning Is this struggle really pointless? - Is fulfillment attainable? Or will I endlessly want - for something I shall never have? Forever doomed to be content - content, but never smiling... Trying - no, never trying Forever reaching Never living - ever loving Madness, endless - senselessness I wallow with the swine - mired in infinite desire Ashamed at last of yearning - for peace and solitude Vile, wretched sickness creeping - wicked illness n ever ceasing As the days slip silently - What did I want from this life anyway? Trying - no, never trying Forever reaching Never living - ever loving Madness, endless - senselessness

Nobody knows 02:51
Care taker - deal maker Soul shaper - earth quaker Sound man - game plan Sun tan - tin can Back pack - wood shack Nick nack - get back Life span - flim flam Clueless Klux Klan Boogey man - sneak peak Heat seek - gas leak Hey man stay away You’re a big freak And so it goes... so it goes So it goes... and so it goes Where it stops... Open mind - road sign On line - no time White stripe - prototype Out of site - good night Slow pace - rat race Save face - disgrace Government - over spent Can’t pay the rent Big dent - pay check On deck - red neck Made a mess of my life It’s a car wreck Fast pitch - filthy rich Skipped stitch - dug ditch One way - foul play Happy day - never stray New year - stay clear Don’t fear - shed a tear Over played - be afraid Can’t turn your back today Hand-made - get laid Nerves frayed - dogs stray Can’t trust your neighbor So please just stay away Open up - dumb luck Got stuck - you suck Tides turn - we learn Slow burn - I yearn More meat - dry heat Tired feet - Take a seat Spider web - blindly led Stay out of my head Box car - shining star Corner bar - hidden scar I’ve kept this burning buried Deep down so far

Urban rumble 04:56
Short days... long nights – Urban rumble Railways covered by flattened pennies Beneath the desolate, concrete bridge Blaring, shouting, bickering cars now Ceased and sleeping – ever weeping From exhaustion... Red lights or green lights... Red lights or green lights... Swirl in puddles on the icy, slick pavement Crawling, seething – into bleak corners Lightless cracks in some forgotten alley The desperate unloved lay side by side Buried in boxes... transient homes In the dank night – naughtily grinning Fornication... Sanity fleeting... A midnight greeting... No hope whispered on the walkways – only dread Leading, bleeding, bending souls Into eternity – where darkness must flee From peace and light – but furious, curious Raging love runs rampant... now the moon is black Fright, fight, flight, quell this torment With tidings of love And a toast for tomorrow... The end of all sorrow... As dawning days of brutal desperation come...

No telling 02:54
You’re not gonna tell me - how I feel You’re not gonna tell me - this ain’t real You’re not gonna tell me - who I am You’re not gonna sell me - the master plan I have my own voice I’ll make my own choice I am... You’re not gonna tell me - what to say You’re not gonna show me - another way You’re not gonna tell me - which road to take You’re not gonna tell me - what’s good for my own sake I have my own voice I’ll make my own choice I am... You’re not gonna tell me - who to be You’re not gonna tell me - now that I’m free You’re not gonna tell me - that I’m too soft You’re not gonna tell me - so please fuck off I have my own voice I’ll make my own choice I am...

Cold concrete crumbles As steely skies thunder Industrial wasteland Inspires revivification City lights burning bright as we descend into darkness To escape from the madness of endless consumption We linger in alleys and forsaken factories The dross of progress Step cautiously over wrecked rusted refuse Descend silently into the pestilent abyss Known only as home to the weary unwanted Society’s blemish Slow rumble low grumble Wheels squeal on old steal Enraged diesel edge onward Into emergent dark Shielded in shadows Beneath derelict bridges Crouched in the black night Awaiting iron horses Grasp hold of the top rung... sprint as fast as you can run Quick step and a lunge... and the horse has been mounted Then climb to the top of that rusted old hopper Feet nimbly skipping... Traverse the running boards to find the ideal spot To relax and enjoy the release of all sorrow To discharge the weary burdens of the day... Then roll through the city past slums - and the vagrants look on by fires Tall stacks billowing black smoke - the destructive result of desire Fierce city lights fade as the horse races onward Rolling towards fields long forgotten in the country With the rush, then the push all fear and hatred Finally subsides At long last at peace we sway with the freighter As warm winds embrace us heading south through the darkness Stars strewn across black skies... life left behind us I can see for miles

Shutdown 04:40
Kneeling and bowing before our broken King and only few so blessed bestowed with knowledge... Of the lying truth and of these sickeningly dreadful deeds... The peace that cannot live... beneath... These horrid lies Infiltrate, discovery Denial making mockery of sooth and undeniable... ...evidence – Lost decades of decadence ...now centuries old ...the populace – bled by eminence Misrepresentation of people seeking endlessly forgotten truth to unforgotten wrongs... Incompetence... or impotence... decreasing exigency to fulfill requirements... Progress and invention, delaying depression but, at the last, man serves his own creation... Destructive mess, mass trickery... the death of decency Misconception... an abomination... but still, the undeniable... ...evidence – Lost decades of decadence ...now centuries old ...the populace have been bled by eminence Misrepresentation of people seeking endlessly forgotten truth to never forgotten wrongs... The ending of pride and self-respect Propagates complacency... To the fulfillment of this greedy dream “I Pledge Allegiance...”

Origami 04:53
Another beautiful brilliant sun drenched day We sit watch the embers fade as daylight dissipates It seems a lifetime since we met and fled the place where we came from - Now as I glimpse your radiant smile, this heart is filled with mirth. Your understanding knows no bounds - Tolerance and enduring love astound - eternal gratitude is due for all that you have given me. Life was merely drudgery before you salvaged this lost and lonely sole, As twilight nudges out the day I catch the glimmer in your eyes. I can’t imagine no other life than this one that I’ve lived with you. And I can’t conceive of no better past than that which we’ve created. Now sad alone on our front porch we watch the day slide by Traffic slips by listlessly and we’re sat there you and me As another day drifts by Another day drifts by Another night fled silently The morning sun beckons us to rise And I awaken to the delicate touch of your gentle tender hands Then we assume a respective post again at peace on our old front porch and speak so fondly of yesterdays today or of future days. I can’t imagine no other life than this one that I’ve lived with you. And I can’t conceive of no better past than that which we’ve created. Now sad alone on our front porch we watch the days speed by Traffic rips by recklessly and we’re sat there you and me As another day drifts by Now sad alone on our front porch we watch the days drag by Traffic crawls by endlessly and we’re still sat there you and me As another day drifts by Another day drifts by Another day drifts by
