I don't want your money, you can keep your car Try to leave before me and you won't get that far Listen up. I'll fill you in on the scam You're not the victim here, you're a sacrificial lamb Get on the floor What you crying for? The cops will be here soon to serve and protect all the people in town That's why I came alone I didn't need my cover blown I hope they don't hit bone and quick and painless, a bullet finds home Nobody moves, on your knees face against the wall Nobody moves, hands behind your back You got no one to call If I do this right, its over tonight I hear the sirens and I see the lights The end will be here soon, if nobody moves My plan is perfect. I've got bad intent You'll all be fine. Just keep your nose on the cement Lets make a deal... You try not to scream And when they open fire, I won't haunt your dreams Shhhh, I think they just pulled up When they tell me to come out I'll have to tell them that they're fucked I need to make them scared, Make em gale they came prepared My guns a fake but when its in your face they'll light me up

Community Service 02:16
lyrics

Found herself standing there The rain had soaked her hair, makeup running off her nose She had her eyes closed She was so miserable Was she capable of this? A thousand hours of community service An hour bus ride to the wrong side of town Trying to wrap her head around Where she found herself now Here on the front lines Its just a soup line Never look them in the eye, but every fucker tries Go find a home Can't break my heart of stone So sick and tired of filling up buckets and cups Thats when she looked up And saw her standing there The rain had soaked her hair She had her eyes closed Looked like a black rose She was so miserable So fucking miserable But was she capable of this?

Worry 02:39
lyrics

What will we do when theres no running? Where will we be when we can't avoid the fall? Designed receivers for ourselves, but never heard the call It was easy to ignore it Just turned the other way Saw our future but denied it and kept living for today I've got a family to protect What if it all just goes away? Life could change for good tomorrow and leave misery to stay Which disease is gonna get us? How will we all stay strong? We keep warring over ghosts who haven't helped us in so long What will we do when the tap stops running? Where will we be when the very last light burns out? I don't know about you but this is what keeps me up at night I'll write a song and let it out Is this a world without morals? Will the cosmos snuff us out? Have we poisoned all around us? Is this world breaking down? Are the answers even out there? Or am I standing here in the dark, trying to make more pointless noise? Start a fire without a spark? What will we do when the tap stops running? Where will we be when the very last light burns out? I don't know about you but this is what keeps me up at night I'll write a song and let it out My worry protects me My worry? It wrecks me What will we do when the tap stops running? Where will we be when the very last light burns out? I don't know about you but this shit sucks. It keeps me up at night I'll write a song and let it out

Washed Up Love 03:04
lyrics

A certain sway in the way she walks A certain style in the shit she talks When she's making me laugh on a sunday morning drive Looks past my clothes and tattooed skin The ride of a lifetime on a wedding ring She took an angry dead soul and made it feel alive She drives me wild With the way she smiles And the way she reads my mind can calm the beast inside She's my whole world And I don't deserve This washed up love she gives is of the purest kind Now I've Punched a wall a time or two She's patched me up Talked me through it What she's put up with would make anybody run She's a perfect lover An honest friend She's got my back and she doesn't resent All the noise that I make or the time I spend alone The shade of her eyes The smell of her hair Half of me is missing if she ain't there Its a helluva feeling to know you've got the one She drives me wild With the way she smiles And the way she reads my mind can calm the beast inside She's my whole world And I don't deserve This washed up love she gives is of the purest kind

Cult 02:38
lyrics

Those wordless cries, that drawn out sigh We've got the answers brother Step inside We're family here. We share your fears And you'll be safe once your financials clear Could this be what your looking for? Dip your fingers at the door Sit down and get it off your chest (write a cheque) Its one for all and all for all We're here to catch you if you fall Its guaranteed if you invest A tithe avoids impending doom A small percent would really help pay the rent And it'll save you all that time on real repent Try to ignore hypocrisy Lets talk about economy and what it cost to save your soul (write a cheque) Vile sinners and all reprobates Are only one collection plate Away from being immortal A tithe avoids impending doom You must have friends Bring em on in We can put a price on any salvation

Tried to hide her but its so hard to turn frozen ground Eventually she was found and swept away We used to talk about finally turning our lives around Forgot the cold and the snow every time we played Kick the guitar case open, pour out our souls for passers by We're gonna kill tonight, make enough to sleep inside We had a dream A guitar and ghost have got me heading to the coast And she's with me on every string We had a dream Used to shiver her way through every street side song I ruined so many gloves just so I could play She'd sung about moving somewhere for so long She'd sung about warmth and endless days Maybe she wasn't looking but something found her in the dark She couldn't hide the marks. Her voice was torn apart Couldn't thaw a frozen heart We had a dream A guitar and ghost have got me heading to the coast And she's with me on every string We had a dream Her song has been silent since the night she left The cop said 'Another junkie down' We used to joke about if our thumbs were big enough I promised her that I'd find out

Dad Gang 02:30
lyrics
buy track
We barely get together. We were the best of friends Now we don't see each other unless our wives have plans I think I got a plan though, one we can call our own We can retain glory and still remain at home (no dog house!) I wanna rock a mohawk, but I'm going bald I ain't goin backwards, I haven't even stalled Call the boys and tell em, we are going on a quest Sharpen up the toothbrush Patchin up the vest We're gonna walk through Safeway like we own the place Maybe a Hello Kitty temp tattoo on my face All the moms will fear us All the dads will run Doin driveways with a stroller and a water gun Lets start a gang. Start a dad gang. We ain't no adolescents, We ain't no snot nosed kids (We're grown ups) We ain't going down the road our parents did (So boring) I may not ride a Harley, the scooter will suffice (Sensible mileage) And when I buy my weed, I find the best price (Sensible drug use) I gotta show my groms that I don't give a fuck I'm in a minvan, tryin to save a buck I'm gonna go to punk shows once they're all in bed And when they're old enough I'll show em how to bang their heads I see the other dads. They're all so fucking lame I'll teach my kid to punch your kid at the soccer game We're gonna burn the world down, gonna leave our marks We'll be the meanest when we're vining at the water park Lets start a gang. Start a dad gang.

Fisted 03:45

Hello Dead Eyes, come on in So we meet again. Lost a bet, I won regret Runnin out of friends Should be a crime, the way we dropped the ball Your cross to share, my cross to bear On bloodied knees we crawl Don't think about the fall Focus on the climb In the eyes of god we're all here wasting time There's no erasing this One pass One try Its a one way trip Look around Take it in You're the one stopping you My mediocre days are through Let go the hand that makes a fist You've got to chase it, you can't let it chase you We're falling down. We're getting up. Its the dusting off we smile through Embrace the chase, own your mistakes Gratitude is currently escaping you Stand face to face Try not to break I got news for you, thats not a mirror You look like them They look like you Through this fog I see it so clear Don't think about the fall Focus on the climb In the eyes of god we're all here wasting time There's no erasing this One pass One try Its a one way trip Look around Take it in You're the one stopping you My mediocre days are through Let go the hand that makes a fist

Death Of A Demon 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Six hundred and fifty days On tour non stop going hard in the paint He's seen tattoos and a million boobs and he's gonna rock em all before the evening is through Its good living when the demon cums Throwing horns and dropping tongues A fire so hot it'll dry up the blood With their ass in the air everybody looks good Don't turn away from me I gave you rock and roll all night We party every day Its the lifestyle that you buy Don't turn away from me After so many crazy nights We party every day You desert my army?!? WHY?? You cast him aside but that bastard died a hero Of all of our times, the bad times were less than zero How soon mother fuckers forget What they were listening to the first time they got head The posters above their beds All the nights on stage, all the make up and sweat Probably playing on the night you were made In the back of a chevy while your momma got laid Thinking of me, the Demon setting her free And now you're cutting me down with a fucking tweet Don't turn away from me I gave you rock and roll all night We party every day You desert my army?!? WHY??? You cast him aside but that bastard died a hero Of all of our times, the bad times were less than zero
