30/30-150

I am a dominant gene ... live as I die
Never say forever cause forever's a lie
I can see right through it so I can ignore you
The story changes but the ending won't bore you
I tried to tell you but you simply obeyed
They didn't listen so they threw you away
Now all you do is talk ... I don't wanna hear your bullshit...
Is this what you want?

This is where it BEGINS ... this is where it ENDS [x2]

They called us a Dead Generation; they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom; as you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and we're coming; let's see you say that shit to our face
30/30-150 Remembers; 30/30-150 Hates

In-My-Own-Peculiar-Way-I-Feel-Mercurial
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where, but I still don't know the when
You wanna live in a 1-sided world?
Be prepared for a whole world of hurt
Now with the Grand Façade ... I want to be an angel...
And I want to be God!

I am a fuckin' machine ... fueled by the past
A memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some shit go
But I got too many grudges to hold
I saw a lot of people try in the end
I never wanna walk that road again
Now I will never give up ... I don't wanna have it all
I just wanna have enough

This is where it begins... this is where it ends
This is where it BEGINS ... this is where it ENDS

They called us a Dead Generation; they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom; as you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and we're coming; let's see you say that shit to our face
30/30-150 Remembers; 30/30-150 Hates.

Come What(ever) May

Can you take away every single day?
That we have given to another false prophet
Can you give us all a reason not to fall?
Before you take away another broken promise

Show your pretty face
Hide the bitter taste
You're still the rapist of an entire nation
You wanna be the man you gotta be a man
But you were nothing but a sad insinuation

Oh
How can we ever live this down?
Oh
How can we ever live this down?

Keep your fingers crossed
The truth is at a loss
Big decision for an ordinary coward
The only problem is your fucking rhetoric
We're more in danger then before you took power

Now it's just a game
God you'll never change
You'd sell us out if you could only find a buyer
You don't give a shit
As long as idiots
Are in your corner you could set us all on fire

Oh
How can we ever live this down?
Oh
How can we ever live this down?

You never want to be
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
What is free about it?!

Now we reached the end
Just get it over with
But this is building to an adamant conclusion
Come what ever may
There's gonna be a day
When we have figured out a plausible solution

Every thing you've done
Is killing everyone
A little smile on a homicidal blizzard
You wanna be a man
You gotta have a plan
Another failure is a guarenteed disaster

Oh
How can we ever live this down?
Oh
How can we ever live this down?

You never want to be
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
She only wanted the world
You never want to be
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
What the fuck is free about it?!
What the fuck is free about it?!
What the fuck is free about it?!

Hell & Consequences

I'm not a victim 'til I let you take me down
I'm a target in the sights of your mercy
I never asked for anything ... I'M NOT ASKING NOW
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ... I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me 'cause I refuse to try

I haven't weakened just because I've shown myself
I've taken everything except what's for granted
I'll leave hypocrisy for everybody else
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ... I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me 'cause I refuse to try

I'm not a problem 'til you make one out of spite
I'll give you Hell and Consequences for trying
If you don't want an enemy, DON'T FUCK WITH MY LIFE!
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ... I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me 'cause I refuse to try
I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me 'cause I refuse ...I refuse to try.
I REFUSE TO TRY!

Sillyworld

Freedom's just a word today
Freedom's just a word
When someone takes your word away
It's seldom ever heard
So take your sentence full of things you're not supposed to say
and carry on but don't write it down or you'll be gone

Love is just a song today
Love is just a song
When someone takes the song away
You'll seldom sing along
So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away
and carry on but don't write 'em down or they'll be gone

All we ever do is talk
We like to ride but never walk
We make it so damn easy
We get bored
Why can't anybody see
What's good for you is good for me
I can't take your sillyworld
I can't take your sillyworld no more

Peace is just two fingers now
Peace was just a phase
When someone put it on a shirt
She knew to count the days
So take those fingers tape 'em up and shove 'em up your ass
and carry on but don't try it now cause peace is gone

All we ever do is talk
We like to ride but never walk
We make it so damn easy
We get bored
Why can't anybody see
What's good for you is bad for me
I can't take your sillyworld
I can't take your sillyworld no more

We fight our instincts
We go to extremes
We fight our instincts
We go to extremes

We fall apart (x13)

Made Of Scars

THIS ONE came from looking - THIS ONE opened twice
THESE TWO seemed as smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
THIS ONE needed stitches and THIS ONE came from rings
THIS ONE isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS

THIS ONE had it coming - THIS ONE found a vein
THIS ONE was an accident, but never gave me pain
THIS ONE was my father's and THIS ONE you can't see
THIS ONE had me scared to death, but I guess I should be glad I'm not dead

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS

GOD - DON'T YOU BELIEVE THE HYPE

...And I will find a way - everything you are I will betray
Oh, I swear that I will find a way - everything you are's inside me

THIS ONE was the first one - THIS ONE had a vice
THIS ONE here I like to rub on dark and stormy nights
THIS ONE was the last one - I don't remember how
But I remember blood and rain
AND I NEVER SAW IT COMING AGAIN

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS
Thats what Im made of

Reborn

I am walking through your streets - I am looking in your windows
I am elemental now - you'll never even know I'm there
I am watching over you - I am living in the shadows
I am just a word to you, but I am very real and cold...
Cold to all of this - Cold to how you feel - Cold to all your lucid reason

I AM EVERYTHING - I AM ANYTHING - I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY - I AM EVERYDAY - I AM GONNA BE...

I am all there is to know - I am all that you've forgotten
I am enigmatic now - you never even knew my name
I am dressed tragedy - I am by design immortal
I am just the last one left, I am always here and old
Old and very strong - Old as all you feel - Old as all the world around you

I AM EVERYTHING - I AM ANYTHING - I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY - I AM EVERYDAY - I AM GONNA BE...
REBORN (this is the start of something)

I am just a secret now - I am just a vague illusion
I am lie you tell yourself that you never truly did believe
I am a whisper in the dark - I am a victim and the killer
I am almost ready now - but you insist I dont exist
That I don't exist - that I don't exist - that I don't EXIST

I AM EVERYTHING - I AM ANYTHING - I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY - I AM EVERYDAY - I AM GONNA BE...
REBORN (this is the start of something)

Your God

Reveal to me this ugly thing - I'm rusted metal by your head
It's gotten out of hand again - nobody sees it, but I can
You though of everything, I bet - but did you think how long, you know
Something's gonna give again - SOMETHING'S GONNA GIVE AGAIN

I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
but then I don't even think I want the job anymore

Say something, anything to me - I do believe, but I have doubts
So many reasons to hold on - conflicting interest isn't it
I guess I'm better off in the end, cuz you were always there to blame
I haven't felt so bad in I don't know how long, you know
I can't get away again - I CAN'T GET AWAY AGAIN

I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
but then I don't even think I want the job, you see
I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
I don't even think I want the job anymore

What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
All I ever did was try, but the story ends, so I guess I'll have to die
Where am I supposed to go now?

Go ahead and go away...

What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
All I ever did was try, but the story ends, so I guess I have to die
What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?

How am I supposed to live...

Through Glass

I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed.
Oh, God, it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed.
All I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head.

"How do you feel?" That is the question,
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer.
When something like a soul
Becomes initialized and folded up
Like paper dolls and little notes,
You can't expect a bit of hope.
So while you're outside looking in,
Describing what you see,
Remember what you're staring at is me

How much is real? So much to question.
An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything,
We thought came from the heart.
It never did right from the start.
Just listen to the noises,
(Null and void instead of voices.)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene,
Remember it's just different from what you've seen.

I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed,
And all I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed,
And all I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head,

And it's the stars, the stars, that shine for you,
And it's the stars, the stars, that lie to you,
Yeah, yeah,
And it's the stars, the stars, that shine for you,
And it's the stars, the stars, that lie to you,
Yeah, yeah.

I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed.
Oh, God, it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars, the stars, that shine for you,
Yeah, yeah,
And it's the stars, the stars, that lie to you,
Yeah, yeah,
And it's the stars, the stars, that shine for you,
Yeah, yeah,
And it's the stars, the stars, that lie to you,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, and the stars, oh, and the stars, they lie!

Socio

I remember now, but I still have my doubts
I think It's gonna be today
Everybody came, but it's just not the same
Why did it have to be today?
Now my chest is tight - no, I am not all right
It doesn't have to be this way
Why does it have to be this way?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG, IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY

Freedom in a cage - no sun and too much rage
I don't know how much I can take
Push it down inside, but it knows just where I hide
I know that "normal" is hard to fake
Bleeding into life - it's like a thousand knives
Are slowly turning me to this
Why does it have to be like this?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG, IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY

I lost again, today...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG, IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY
LIVE WITH A CURSE, SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN WORSE
IT SLOWLY KILLS ME EVERYDAY
SOMETHING I DESPISE IS GONNA TAKE MY LIFE
I GUESS I'LL TRY AGAIN TODAY

Why - is everything so gray - is everything so strange
Is everything so thrown together by mistake?
Why - is everything contrite - is everything a plight
Is everything so insincere and out of sight?

WHY - DOES EVERYTHING SEEM WRONG
DOES EVERTYHING LOOK DRAWN
DOES EVERYTHING SEEM BLASTED LIKE IT DON'T BELONG?

I wanna make it a way - I wanna make it a waste
I wanna make it a gross mis adventure
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU... lie to me... lie to me

When - did everything go bad - did everything fall flat
Did everything decay and lose itself so fast?
When - did everything succumb - did everything go numb
Did everything lobotomize what it's become?

WHEN - DOES EVERYTHING COME BACK
DOES EVERYTHING RELAPSE
DOES EVERYTHING SAVE FACE AND FIND ITSELF AT LAST

I wanna show you the way - I wanna show you the waste
I wanna show you the worst misadventure
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU HOW TO... die for me... die for me...

I wanna give it away - I wanna give it the waste
I wanna give it the worst misadventure
I WANNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!
Lie to me... die for me...

Now - everything's a lie - everything's your lie
Everything's a face inside another lie
Now - everything's a side - everything's one side
Everything depends on just which side you're on...

This fluid feels like pain
This stoic mood is all in vain
I reach into the dark
I tear this other me apart
How many years ago
How many deaths I can't let go
My flesh is temporary
My God, extraordinary

You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never
Make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end
But I won't give
This life away again

Sifting throough this same debris
Oh my father, call to me
This smoke is in my blood
This home is just no good
Save me from my bitterness
Give me up, I did my best
Shock this system full of shit
Lock this fucker lost in it

You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never
Make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end
But I won't give
This life away

I won't give this
Life away again
A man surrendered can never
Find his own forgiveness
I know my life will end
But I won't give tonight away
I won't give tonight away again

-Solo-

This fluid feels like pain
This ruin feels like rain
I reach into the past
My future's fading fast
How many years ago
How many I let go
My flesh is all I have
My face is happenstance
This smoke is in my blood
This life is not enough
This life is not enough
This life is not enough

Zzyxz Rd.

I don't know how else to put this
Its taking me so long to do this
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight

My muscles feel like I may lay
Body is curled in an U shape
I put up my best, but I'm still afraid

Propped up by lies and promises
Saving my place as life forgets
Maybe its time I saw the world

I'm only here for a while
patience its not my style
and I'm so tired that I gotta go

What am I supposed to want now
what am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?

Tell me I should stick around for you
Tell me I could have it all
and still I'm too tired to care and I gotta go

I get to go home in one week
But I'm leaving home in three weeks
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry

I'm following soothing directions
I crawled up inside for protection
I'm told what to do and I don't know why

I'm over-existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away

I'm ready to live with my family
I'm ready to die in obscurity
'cause I'm so tired that I gotta go

What am I supposed to want now?
what am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?

Tell me I am part of history
Tell me I can have it all
and still I'm too tired to care and I gotta go
