Cure For Fear


I stood before the city walls
The forest called
Said run away from bitter strife
And sharpen up your hunting knife

The broken bones
It’s in you
The fire storm
The radical truth

What a moment
What a day to slip away
You keep forming on the plains
And I believe you

Kowloon


I got a love for the city
I love the fight
You wanna push it around
I don’t mind

There isn’t anybody out there who’d love me tonight
There isn’t anybody out there who’d see me feel right
And when I’m cornered and I’m open
You give me a sign

There are two wars of contrition going on in my mind 
There are two wars of contrition going on in my mind
And when I’m cornered and I’m open
You give me a sign

I got a love for the city
I love the fight
You wanna push it around
I don’t mind
Transform me
You are too kind
Your body, your mind

There isn’t anybody out there who’d love me tonight
There isn’t anybody out there who’d see me feel right
It only lasts for a moment 
You wish you would die

There are two wars of contrition going on in my mind 
There are two wars of contrition going on in my mind
And when I’m cornered and I’m open
You give me a sign

I got a love for the city
I love the fight

I wanna be alone 

I knew
You'd call I
Knew
You'd call
I knew
I knew you would call

Hostile Radicals


Try me
I’ll make your night a long hell
You try me
I’ll pull the carbon
Out to incite what
You put on a mass threat

You didn’t have to make it such a big deal
You didn’t have to pull out your badge
You didn’t have to make it such a big deal, now
Well, you made me go mad

Try me
I’ll make your night a long hell
Sorry
I’ll pull the carbon
Out to incite what
It's pulling, it's coming

You didn’t have to make it such a big deal
You didn’t have to pull out your badge
You didn’t have to make it such a big deal, now
Well, you made me go mad
Dude, here comes

Another cockroach, another day
Another problem that you let get away
Another cockroach, another day
Another needle to fish outta the hay

Resistor


To go for seconds
A cold decision
A righteous power
Or only a dud
You are

Coming to me
Show me something
I don't expect to turn water to wine

Blood makes the grass grow
A little greener
Tells you more
Than song and dance
The vicious retort
Out of fear
Tell me who can hold your hand
Through this

Stop the racket
They know you’re wasted
You are nothing when you soften up

Coming to me
Show me something
I don't expect you'll turn water to wine

Blood makes the grass grow
A little greener
Tells you more
Than song and dance
The tricks are being pulled
To deceive us
And I hate
More than I love
Within me

Inductor


The bone, the bone
I’m picking at the bone
Tiny tiny skeletons of nothing that I own
Stop, stop, stop and think
Can’t face the world pissing blood the sink, it’s
In that closet door you wouldn’t open
Always laughing but you’re never joking
Time to laugh, time to cry
No question and no reply

Here it comes, here it comes now
The brain child’s thinking

Mister please smash out my brains
That way I won’t go insane
Water from the faucet drops
Drip, d-drip, drip
Drop, drop, drop, drop

Mister please put me to sleep
Say a prayer for the meek
Who’s the guy? I’m petrified
Run away? Don’t even try

Falling apart
You hear a sign
[…]

Higher than you thought
You’d be
Prepare to take a drop
It’s pretty
High

Negatives


Hold your medal up
Hold your baby for the camera
You won the war
You blue eyed babies

Hold your medal up
Hold your baby for the camera
You won the war
But for two long years
You hear gunshots
You hear gunshots

Oh, thought it'd be easy
To stop a bit on the corner
That life you saved it can't kill you
Those visions in your mind

It's over
Kill you
It's over
Let me go

Human Wave Attack


You were never meant to feel this 
Clamp down
Your spine will shiver, as the walls around
Start bleeding
Believe it will endlessly
Carry you
To the deep red sea
Let me out

You were never meant to feel such a pull
The sheep are dead, so take off the wool
You believe me
You weep, you wither away
Cat and mouse it’s the game fools play
Because the cats got the claw 
Cats got the claw

The drunken fool is spinning in a circle
Drunken fool at a break neck pace
Drunken fool, you can feel his frustration
Drunken fool, he gets laid to waste

The drunken fool is spinning in a circle
Drunken fool at a break neck pace
Drunken fool, put your finger on frustration
Turn it on, your night gets laid to waste

Void


The best revenge is killing, well
You all know it
You’ll see it, tonight

Why did you ask me why am I shaking?
I’m not scared, I’m just overcome with hate
It seems that you’re under the assumption
That when you’re selfish you are great

The best revenge is killing, well
Off and on goes the motive
You dropped the ball
Children forget the basics
You got no balls

Was it you who tried to make the quick move
Just to stun them and notch it in your belt
It’s not that you didn’t have the power
You didn’t know how the power felt
(You didn’t like it)

City of No Tomorrow


Shot to dust without a whisper
End it all
And it comes with a banshee call

I’m too depressed to make a mission out of it
So
You can’t be happy with that
Oh no no no

Across the city, I feel the dawn
Winds are coming, change your mind
People come out from the slums
The sun is hiding in between two fingers 
(But)

The sun is hitting asphalt
You can’t be happy with that
No no no
You can’t be happy with that
And now I figure
Who
Who
Who are you

I can’t make you
Stop from thinking
About it
Stop singing
About it

There’s someone out there coulda known
There’s someone out there who’d know
There’s someone out there who wants to see you
Before you go

Singularity


When you spit
You little shit
There’s no money
In a black hole
There’s no food
Not to be rude
In a black hole
They have to see you

All you are is nothing to me
Don’t you know it’s coming
All you are is nothing to me
Running from the kingpin

Pierce The Bottom


My blood’s not pure
It’s been thrown around
It’s been finger painted with
On dark walls and
On the corner of your lips

You can’t be sure
That you got it
Until it almost makes you sick
Please shield your precious porcelain face

I pierced the bottom
No, not again
Searching through your soul again
You’ve been searching for a target
That ain’t there
I pierced the bottom

You can’t be sure
You got it
You see it on the walls
You see broad
For a world that’s just too small
And If you’re sure
Won’t you come back
And show that side to me
How many years ago bud?

What have we got?
What have you got to lose?

I don’t wanna hear your real estate ideas
I don’t wanna wanna hide from your fears
The street corner’s shit
And everybody knows
Does anybody notice?

I don’t wanna hear your real estate ideas
I’m so sick of hiding from your fears
The street corner’s shit
And everybody knows
Does anybody notice?
