Smoking myself crazy Was the only option Boredom took over In this noggin get in my head Proceed with caution These ways of mine Can be a toxin To anyone who listens And isn't ready To deal with me And thoughts unsteady Not saying this Just to be edgy No one cares anyway So I'll stay petty Doesn't compare To the battle that looms In each of our heads When we leave the womb Dark and light days Til we enter the tomb And prepare our souls For the sonic boom The controversy of life Is what you bought You own nothing Just sold and purchased thoughts Betting your life Hoping to hit the jackpot Should know by now It was a long shot But there's a chance For any civilian To make it big And play in that pavilion To be known When they walk in a building Sorry, not in this game You're one in a million If I don’t make it Then what's my purpose Can't stay in line And be part of this circus Married and bored Or single and lonely They look up to me In a life unholy They want you to work And keep your mouth shut With a clean face And short haircut not a robot Want a life free of stress doesn’t seem possible But I digress Media rules all So when you clock in the controversy keeps them talking the next big thing On the screen Is always something That's unforeseen What's the cause Should've had a vaccine For tragedies of life That go unseen We can't believe it Til it's too late What in the world Could cause so much hate We don't understand So we investigate But what good is it When we're scared straight Don’t live in fear Here's some gas on the fire supposed to keep things From going haywire Keep us safe And trust you with our lives But sometimes I think You just leave us deprived From the information We need to survive Don’t get me wrong Not trying to imply That you're the enemy But explain the divide (Married and bored Or single and lonely They look up to me In a life unholy They want you to work And keep your mouth shut With a clean face And short haircut not a robot Want a life free of stress doesn’t seem possible But I digress Media rules all So when you clock in the controversy keeps them talking)x2 Married and bored Or single and lonely They look up to me In a life unholy (The controversy keeps them talking)x3 Media rules all So when you clock in the controversy keeps them talking (Married and bored Or single and lonely They look up to me In a life unholy They want you to work And keep your mouth shut With a clean face And short haircut not a robot Want a life free of stress doesn’t seem possible But I digress Media rules all So when you clock in the controversy keeps them talking)x2

The sky is grey And the fog is low Looks like rain And a northern with snow Melancholy all around the cold wind blows lost her spouse on this day Now a widow All by herself in this world she suffers From a lonely heart and soul From her dead lover He was always there Brightened her days like summer Now I have to be there For a loving mother This is growing up And getting old I suppose Where will we be When it comes to close believe what they say Some do, but who knows I'll visit you everyday And leave a fresh rose On your grave Can I ever repay The things you've done for me But it starts to weigh On my chest We all enter and exit This life the same way Sad days foreshadowed By gloomy mornings I'll miss you til the end And the rain stops pouring the cycle of day and night From happiness to mourning It's the circle of life But it won't stop storming it'll come one day When we least expect it Sadness tries to creep in But I won't let it I'll help you out if you're feeling dejected We all bleed the same color Cause we're all connected What does this day Forecasts what's to come Maybe a relax and chill day Where I'm from Calmness in the air listening to birds hum Or an eerie reminder Of why I feel so numb Can't last forever Here comes the sun To cast away the dark days One by one Have a family one day And raise my own son take it day by day won't leave things undone

Used to ride around and hang out Then blaze one and trip out Halloween techno Don’t go to sleep or pass out Braveheart theme The pact is on Get the shaving cream To the extreme In the mainstream Always gets a laugh Even now when we're older Used to be a smoker Now that I'm sober I can find closure still searching for that shoulder To cry on When you're gone Staying up til dawn Sleeping in the lawn those days are long foregone Can still reminisce Did those days exist How I do miss Reanimation nostalgia Smoking on that ganja But not anymore Sneaking out the back door In a time before Are we ever gonna score Just an eyesore now The way life goes, can't allow This to bring me down I'll rise above somehow We have our own families Who would've thought That those punk kids Would be viewed as big shots So much time has passed Take me back to the start We'll always be friends We're just growing apart Time separates us But that’s not bad Lets us find ourselves So aren't you glad friends and experiences Made you who you are Be ready though it's not over by far New memories to make Getting closer to the goal Stay true to ourselves don’t sell our souls It all comes to an end So don’t you cry We'll get there one day Before we have to say goodbye

Nothing on the inside Just skin and bones A skull in the light On this microphone Everyone as fake As silicone Posting and liking On their telephone Nothing on the inside Just skin and bones A skull in the light On this microphone Everyone as fake As silicone Posting and liking On their telephone I can't comprehend I'm a skull in the light Stuck in my ways But I want the spotlight Don’t like change That's overnight Nothing is ever Black and white My favorite colors Could it be more clear These aren't my times Just shove me to the rear Never to be known In yesteryear One more chance To the stratosphere Disappear Into the world wide web Like and subscribe And follow every step I take in this game Til I'm somebody in their eyes With their wicked mask And cheap disguise give in to the "times" And join their franchise Nope, I'll just sit back And enjoy their demise Til the next "it" thing is over My, how time flies Moments move forward Never backward, ticking clockwise The machine keeps rolling Til the next sunrise Do it for you Don’t do it for them You're white as a ghost They know you can't swim Darkness in the light See through me on stage Bones in the light just watch me rage I'll show them But I have no soul was left on stage With no self-control Puppet on a string With a large bankroll And bleed me dry So I'll never be whole Shell of a man What's the next day bring Maybe a punk girl With a nose ring Or a fallen angel With a broken wing Have roamed this land With no peace of mind Will they ever see That I'm one of a kind They’ll know me sooner or later I'll never resign

Sleeping everyday from dawn til dusk can't break this pattern My patience grows short and brusque Emptiness lasting so long as a tusk I used to shine But now I'm worn to rust Could this be the reason I freaked out And thought I'd be arrested for treason Fate or free will In the garden of Eden Hail freedom and tis the season That karma bites me in the ass And enemies get even Should've never listened to that voice "eat the fruit" and you'll have something to rejoice All the knowledge in the world, not a bad choice But it was a trick to see the fall of man Think of what led you here And you'll see how it began Faith will make you think it's all part of his plan While temptation leads your mind to a darker land The choices lead the way To the path you take in this lifespan (Past regrets and selfish requests Are things you'll never get over If you stay obsessed just cause you're good now Doesn’t mean you'll be blessed Keep that black heart pumping it'll fail in cardiac arrest)x4 Let's go back to the start Before body parts started twitching Thought I was a victim of betrayal And someone's bewitching My heart has bled for 13 years Do you have the stitching To end this once and for all And keep my mind from tripping Imagining things and people saying stuff Keeps me on edge, I can't get enough Seeing specs of color when everything is fine Are these spirits watching me To make sure I stay in line Everything's a joke til it happens to you Struck down by a mental illness Has me feeling so blue lightning strikes a tree A crazed fire burns My sanity blows in the wind Will it ever return The only thing that comes back Are these dreams that haunt and scare They won't ever let me rest In these demented nightmares Not a big believer of religion But I'll say a prayer And wonder why this chose me it isn't fuckin fair Mentally sick Or cursed by a vengeful spirit Wants revenge from the past And put it on exhibit As long as they get even Their reason is justified Whether it's now, the future, Or in the next life Think of all the times You made them cry Now you want sympathy For the tears you've shed on the inside They’ll just laugh in your face Til you feel their pain and they're satisfied Dreams that won't let me sleep They keep me up all night And sometimes during the day Just feeds their appetite Day dreaming You would think I work the graveyard shift No job for me Just go with the flow as I drift wonder if these dreams are a curse or a gift They probably come from that witch named Blair She'll get you with her glare, when you're unaware As you wander to her neck of the woods And you never come back, so beware (The only thing that comes back Are these dreams that haunt and scare They won't ever let me rest In these demented nightmares)x4 One more time From beginning to the end Is it too late To ask for a godsend Time is running out how much more can I take They're getting the best of me Will I ever awake From this darkened state To see another daybreak The first light I've seen in years And won't be the last I'll put this experience in the rear And learn from the past See it in the rearview As I slam on the gas
