Lyrics
Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy (Verse 1)
Branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself
I must insist on being a pessimist (Chorus 1)
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected, the rejected
I perfected the science
Of the idiot (Verse 2)
No meaning, and no healing
Self-loathing freak
And introverted deviot
(Chorus 1)
(Bridge)
Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy (Verse 3)
Elected, the rejected
I perfected the science
Of the idiot
(Chorus 1)
I'm gettin pissed, I'm a worthless pessimist (Chorus 2)
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Lyrics
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell (Verse 1)
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
Get my inheritance
Well now I want more
Cuz I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once full of doubt (Chorus)
But it's all figured out
Well nothing good can last
Crow's feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout (Verse 2)
I'm a snot-nosed slob without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

Lyrics
I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structures waving colours
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you
I'm just alright
Downclassed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out, buried in a hole
Struck down, forcing me to fall
Destroyed, giving up the fight (Chorus)
Well I know I'm not alright
What's ny price and will you pay it?
If it's alright
Take it from my dignity
Waste it till it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
Cuz it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag him down to hell
(Chorus)

Lyrics
I'm on a mission
I've made my decision
To lead a path of self-destruction
Slow progression (Verse 1)
Killin my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self-control
I'm blowing off steam
With methaphetamine (Chorus)
I don't know what I want
And it'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 (Verse 2)
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'm on a mission
I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand (Verse 3)
Shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
(Chorus)
Geek...stink...breath!

Lyrics
Well I am just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope (Verse 1)
I've panhandled for life
Because I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regrets
Better swallow your pride
Before you choke on it
Better digest your values
Because they turn to shit (Chorus)
Honour's gonna knock you down
Before your chance
To stand up and fight
Well I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or bullet in my face
To hell with unity (Verse 2)
Separation'll kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall
(Chorus)

Lyrics
I got a knack for fuckin everything up
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
I lose control and I get myself all wound up
Tension mounts and I fly up the wall (Verse 1)
I self-destruct and I get myself all wound up
Petulance and irritation set in
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up
I hate myself and I'm all wound up
I hate myself and I'm all wound up (Chorus 1)
Loss of control and I'm all wound up
I lose myself and I'm all wound up
Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
Killed my composure and it'll never come back
Loss of control and I get myself all wound up
Blown out of proportion again (Verse 2)
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
Spontaneous combustion, panic attack
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up
I hate myself and I'm all wound up
Loss of control and I'm all wound up
What can I say, I'm afraid (Chorus 2)
I'm all wound up
(Verse 1)

What brings you around?
Did you lose something
The last time you were here? (Verse 1)
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep
With your identity
So stand aside
And let the next one pass (Pre-Chorus)
Don't let the door
Kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86 (x4)
Don't even try (Chorus)
Exit out the back
And never show your head
Around again (Verse 2)
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take
The last train out of town
(Pre-Chorus)

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self-destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head (Verse 1)
Bleeding down these thoughts of anguish
Mass confusion
Well the world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit (Chorus)
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with...I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my dispostion
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality (Verse 2)
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate
(Chorus)
I wanna drop out (x4) (Bridge)

Standing on the corner
Of Stuart and the Avenue
Ripping up a transfer
And a photograph of you (Verse 1)
You're a blur of my dead past
And rotting existence
As I stand laughing on the
Corner of insignificance
Well destiny is dead
In the hands of bad luck (Chorus)
Before it might have made some sense
But now it's all fucked up
Seasons change as well as minds
And I'm a two-faced clown
Mommy's little nightmare
Driving Daddy's car around (Verse 2)
I'm beat down and half brain-dead
The long lost king of fools
I may be dumb but I'm not stupid
Enough to stay with you

I'm countin sheep but runnin out
As time ticks by, still I try (Verse 1)
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb (Verse 2)
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
Crooked spine, senses dulled (Verse 3)
Passed the point of delerium
On my own, here we go

Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date (Verse 1)
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress (Chorus)
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leaning with my crutch
Got a fucked-up equilibrium
Countdown from 9 to 5 (Verse 2)
Hooray we're gonna die
Blessed into our extinction

Lyrics
Boxed up all of her favourite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends
And a westbound sign (Verse 1)
Weighed out her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a blank decision
She's taking off
Taking off (Chorus)
Taking off
Taking off
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview mirror
And westward on
Strung out on confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she's determined
(Chorus)
Oh is it salvation?
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find a name
In the California cement
Punched out of the grind (Bridge)
The punched her once too many times
Is tragedy 2000 miles away?
She's taking off

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill-seeker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics (Verse 1)
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speedballs
One more night
Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty-handed
Bummin a ride (Chorus)
Burnin daylight
Last up at dawn
Tight Wad Hill
Drugstore hooligan
Another white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie (Verse 2)
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute
Of his existence

Lyrics
Do as I say, not as I do because
The shit's so deep run can't run away
I beg to differ, on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say (Verse 1)
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 (Verse 2)
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a victim of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe I'm a
Walking contradiction (Chorus)
And I ain't got no right
(Verse 1)
(Chorus x2)
That's it have fun playing
