Meltdown
Go
It feels so frantic, automatic, a collapsing paradigm
Everybody's dancing, on the ashes, all hail the end of time
We're wrapped in chain reactions from words of mass destruction
So we explode in the snow globe while the cure is classified
Ignoring the warming and now we're globally mourning
And it's too late for a warning, it's too late
Run away, run away
Man-infested destiny
No escape, no escape
Headfirst into the outbreak
And this is our apocalypse
Doomsday at our fingertips
Three, trigger the countdown
Two, run up the head count
One, we're all invited, invited to the meltdown
Spiral to extinction, and we know we're f*cked
'Cause you can't spell out "virus" without "us"
Contagion, we're cutting our throats with our own knives
The end of mankind will be televised
On tonight's series finale, we're all gonna f*ckin' die
Run away, run away
Man-infested destiny
No escape, no escape
Headfirst into the outbreak
And this is our apocalypse
Doomsday at our fingertips
Three, trigger the countdown
Two, run up the head count
One, we're all invited, invited to the meltdown
Warning, please remain calm and evacuate immediately
Humanity has begun self destruction
Bottom line feeder, parasite preacher
Writing off lives, you're in bed with the reaper
Sealed with a kiss, decease to exist
Havoc is automatic
Surrender to the static
We love it cinematic
Oh my God, don't panic
Shock the system
Let the axe fall to your knees
Land of disease
Kill or be killed the American scream
Bottom line feeder, parasite preacher
Now your judgement day is here
Run away, run away
Man-infested destiny
No escape, no escape
Headfirst into the outbreak
And this is our apocalypse
Doomsday at our fingertips
Three, side effects
Two, are not allowed
One, but may include a meltdown
Three, celebrate
Two, the fallout
Two, I'm warming up, up, up to a meltdown
Collapsing in static
Out of time, don't panic
Sign of Life
It's starting again, 'cause I let you in
This seed I've sown
Create to condemn, replace to relive
Despite its growth
(Am I unknown?)
Spinning out of control
I bury it 'til I choke
On ashes scarring my throat
You fall away into the light
Where numbness and pain are synchronized
If there's a grave behind my eyes
Then how do the dead find a, find a sign of life?
Trapped in a maze in my mind and it's toxic
I'll scratch my nails through this coffin
Wasting away in the dark's not an option, not an option, not an option
I'll scratch my nails through this coffin
Too far away to cut the ties
Where numbness and pain are synchronized
If there's a grave behind my eyes
Then how do the dead find a, find a sign of life?
(Find a sign of life)
Bare your soul
Bare your soul (it's starting again, I won't let you in)
(A world unknown)
You fall away into the light
Where numbness and pain are synchronized
If there's a grave behind my eyes
Then how do the dead find a, find a sign of life?
Pull me close and twist the knife
And drag me to hell with heaven's lies
If there's a grave behind my eyes
Then how do the dead find a, find a sign of life?
(Find a sign of life)
Trapped in a maze in my mind and it's toxic
I'll scratch my nails through this coffin
Wasting away in the dark's not an option, not an option, not an option
Werewolf
I can feel you, I can hear you, howling in my bones
There's an evil lurking in the dark (there's an evil lurkin' in the dark)
Ever shifting, skin is ripping, as you take control
I can't tell where you end and where I start (there's an evil lurkin' in the dark)
A ferocious diagnosis, under moonlit hands, will
The man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
'Cause it's fight or fright, in the full moonlight
You can run but you can't hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But no one can break my heart like I can
(Werewolf)
Bleed the neon from the bite marks, ever bittersweet
Smile for the camera but don't flash your teeth (everybody loves a mystery)
Let the bodies hit the dance floor to this heartbreak beat
I feel like somebody's watchin' me (feels like everybody's watchin' me)
Seductively destructive, we are true romance
Does the man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
'Cause it's fight or fright, in the full moonlight
You can run but you can't hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But you can't break my heart like I can
Can't fight these cravings in the night
A beast who's burdened by his bite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(You can't break my heart like I can)
Can't fight these cravings in the night
Moonwalking, feed the appetite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(No, you can't break my heart like I can)
And in the pale moonlight, a debt to be paid
For one must suffer for all eternity
Nothing lasts forever, even guilty pleasures, ah
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
Don't wanna feel
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
Oh
Can't fight these cravings in the night
A beast who's burdened by his bite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(No, you can't break my heart like I can)
Can't fight these cravings in the night
Moonwalking, feed the appetite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(Werewolf)
Porcelain
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
An altered state
Sometimes I even scare myself
Is it too late to question fate?
And hope is fleeting
Still tethered to this grim divergence of my being
I can't stop the bleeding
I can barely stand myself
God knows I've tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
Porcelain
Porcelain
I saw your face, but it couldn't save me
I fell from grace, and I cracked your smile
Don't rescue me, I can't escape it
Ravenously, feed my feral mind
We bend before we break
God knows I've tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
Porcelain
Compulsions killing me
Giving in
And I can't go back
Porcelain
It's f*cking killing me
Giving in
I can't go back
I've broken my vows to reconcile
I shattered your heart, and left a crack in your smile
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
Porcelain
Porcelain
Slaughterhouse
Break down the wall again
You made a deal with the devil in a bloodbath
Now there's a price on your head, seal the contract
Automatic, systematic
We want our pound of flesh and we slice thick
Kill 'em all, kill 'em all, no successors
Flip the script and oppress the oppressors
Finding strength as we sift through the carnage
We want our pound of flesh and we'll take it
You f*cking fascist
You f*cking pig
You sit back as we collapse, packaged up and sold for scraps
Evade the butcher's tax, then write us off
And it's hard to stop the bleeding hung from hooks and barely breathing
But we'll break, break, break down the wall again
You tell your stories of the things that you've been through
But they're as false as the teeth that you lie through
Nobodies buying but you sell, sell, sell
In the land of the free, you're a slave to your wealth
You f*cking fascist
Die you f*cking pig
This is the consequence of opulence
You sit back as we collapse, left to fight over scraps
While you auction off our backs to buy your crown (force-fed the lies)
And it's hard to stop the bleeding hung from hooks and barely breathing
But we'll break, break, break down the wall again
Break, break, break down the wall
One mutilation under God
God in the cross, devil in the nails
Whatcha gonna buy with all your money in hell?
God in the cross, devil in the nails
Whatcha gonna buy with all your money in hell?
You sit back as we collapse, packaged up and sold for scraps
While you auction off our backs to pay the tax (eye for an eye)
Victims of your invention, all we've got are cruel intentions
But we'll break, break, break down the wall again
Break, break, break down the wall again
Cut you up, cut you up, cut you down at your knees
Watch you beg like a rat for your luxuries
Cut you up, cut you up, rip the teeth from your mouth
You won't survive in the slaughterhouse
Die
Cut you up, cut you up, cut you down at your knees
Watch you beg like a rat for your luxuries
Cut you up, cut you up, rip the teeth from your mouth
You won't survive in the slaughterhouse
Masterpiece
All the stupid lies and the stupid games
Left a vacancy in this picture frame
A prisoner by my own hands
Cause if I can't have me, then no one can
I need to heal what I inflict
But I'll burn that bridge when I get to it
As I play roulette with a broken gun
I confess these sins with a sharp and spiteful tongue
So how do I apologize, and put the tears back in your eyes
When every canvas that I paint, is a masterpiece made of my mistakes?
Outlined in guilt, my portrait stares
In a gallery wherе the walls lie bare
As I modеrnize my antique ways
True colors can't escape the brush of fate
So how do I apologize, and put the tears back in your eyes? On every canvas that I paint, is a masterpiece made of my mistakes
Illustrate all my pain
And set it all ablaze
So how do I apologize, and put the tears back in your eyes
When every canvas that I paint, is a masterpiece of my mistakes?
And in the light of my demise, I see my failures in your eyes
Every canvas that I paint, is a masterpiece made of my mistakes
Cause of Death
Nemesis, my dearly neurotic
Enemies, though our face is the same
Your greedy hands held my happiness hostage
I will carry you to the grave
Nemesis, this time I'll finish it
Break me down, over and over
Blood for blood, I'll cut you out with
The knife you cowardly left in my back
Never again
I'd rather die than keep you alive
Do you believe in me now?
Laugh as I lower you down
No funeral, no condolences
You shot our plot full of holes
And nailed our twin casket closed
I found my life in your cause of death
I know that you hate me but need my protection
An awful reflection of what's taken place
Born out of trauma, and lost in the drama
I've been here the whole time to keep you safe
You can try, you know that you need me
Enemies, though we're one in the same
Killed you off in the name of survival
But I am not to blame
Do you believe in me now?
Laugh as you lower me down
No funeral, no condolences
(So say goodbye)
I shot our plot full of holes
And nailed our twin casket closed
You found your life in my cause of death
Enmeshed in our design
Judgements collide
A cruel invention, despite good intentions
The damage has been done
Liar
Two-faced
A cruel invention, despite good intentions, can we be forgiven?
Is it too late for us now?
Could history be rewound?
Is there no chance to make amends?
And as this story unfolds
My book began where yours closed
A sign of life in your cause of death
I was your cause of death
No hope, no time
Can't go back, can't rewind
I still belong to you
I still belong to you
No hope, no time
Can't go back, can't rewind
You still belong to me
You were my sign of life and I was your cause of death
I was your cause of death
I was your cause of death
We Become the Night
We become the night
The rich get richer while the sick get sicker
The profits from the people feed the poor another needle
The flames get bigger while the moths all shiver
They're subsidizing evil with no budget for a sequel
The Prozac's gift wrapped with a smile
The cash grab never goes out of style
Your flashbacks givin' you a panic attack
When your eyes go pitch black
We become the night
Where hope survives
We embrace the shadow following behind
So come alive, and take back your soul
While we become the night
They pull the trigger like a cold heart killer
But then they play the victim to manipulate the system
They synthesize reality to sell what you don't need
They drain us of our portion just to paint another portrait
The Prozac's gift wrapped with a smile
The cash grab never goes out of style
We're cutting the ties with the knives in our backs
When your eyes go pitch black
We become the night
Where hope survives
We embrace the shadow following behind
So come alive, and take back your soul
While we become the night
Creatures crawling out from hell with
Vengeance in our hearts
As the hourglass becomes your reaper
We've come to take what's ours
We become the night
Where hope survives
We embrace the shadow following behind
So come alive, and take back your soul
While we become the night
So run and hide
Screaming out like thunder, lightning cracks the sky
Close your eyes, don't walk towards the light
Yeah, we become the night
We become the night
We become the night
Burned at Both Ends II
I still feel you crawling under my skin
You left a certain kind of sick that I can't let go of
I'm thinking back on all the time that I've wasted
I'm afraid that it's only leading to darker places
The curse you left, it ends tonight
Even if I have to tear out my insides
Never again will this heart be your home
I'll be happy as someone else
Today, I found my open door
I set my sights on something more
I live for something more
Another day spent waiting on a sign
For anything to tell me I'm doing something right
Somewhere, there's a love that I long for
But I can't see through the smoke in my window
Leaving you behind left me aimless
Staring in the mirror and I feel like I'm faceless
The only thing I know is that I'd rather die
Than live in a world where you still control my life
The curse you left, it ends tonight
Even if I have to tear out my insides
Never again will this heart be your home
I'll be happy as someone else
Today, I found my open door
I set my sights on something more
I'm done reliving the pain you dealt me
I'm sick of trying to take back time
Today, I live for something more
At both ends, burnt once more
But now I live for something more
Live for something more
Live for something more
Today, I found my own embrace
I'll never regret who I am today
Today, I found my open door
I set my sights
I set my sights on something more
Today, I found my open door
I set my sights on something more
I'm done reliving the pain you dealt me
I'm sick of trying to take back time
Today, I live for something more
B.F.B.T.G.: Corpse Nation
Good evening, and welcome to another chilling installment
Of broadcasting from beyond the grave
Tonight's grim and ghastly tale
Corpse Nation
Look into the darkness
Web of crooked thoughts
Lobotomized and left to rot
Feed into the promise
Worship every drop
Deny it when the pageant flops
They spew it, nothing to it
Just another cycle of abuse, propaganda on a loop
A sermon, so determined
To be the live grenade in predatory game
Adrift lost in the cyber sea
A movement consuming, contentious hate is blooming
Aimed to harden the divide
United by a story in your melting pot of misery
Hold yourself a prophet but you're really just a comedy
We won't take this anymore
Let me say it one more time
Look into the darkness
Web of crooked thoughts
Lobotomized and left to rot
(Corpse Nation)
Feed into the promise
Worship every drop
Deny it when the pageant flops
(Corpse Nation, Corpse Nation)
(Oh my god, they're horrifyin')
Violence, systemic virus
Please take a seat and read the room
Ignorance will be your doom
Contagious, hysteric rages
But it's time to let the rhetoric go up in flames
Assault with your cryptic words
Uncensored ramblings to a brain dead herd
Agenda tailored for supremacy
Indoctrinated fallacy
Look into the darkness
Web of crooked thoughts
Lobotomized and left to rot
(Corpse Nation)
Feed into the promise
Worship every drop
Deny it when the pageant flops
(Corpse Nation, Corpse Nation)
Malignant manifesto
Two-bit horror show
If truth's what makes you shudder
Research this, motherf*cker
Where you go one you'll all fall
I won't, I won't, I won't stand back and bite my tongue
Where you go one you'll all fall
Disillusioned, where are you now?
Stare into the darkness
Web of crooked thoughts
Lobotomized and left to rot
(Corpse Nation)
Malignant manifesto
Worship every drop
Deny it when the pageant flops
(Corpse Nation, mutation, Corpse Nation, damnation now)
F*ck you
Cyberhex
Oh
There's no tomorrow
Life is but an echo
Scars become mementos
This is war (war)
Extinction
Ashes on your pale skin
Love becomes a symptom
Of the cure
Initiate cyberhex
Eliminate threat
I'd pull the sun from the sky
To freeze the future of time
And drift as one through the infinite (hold on)
I found asylum inside
Your armageddon eyes
I'd kill to kiss your apocalypse
Cold and corrosive
Fatal diagnosis, ring around the roses
Say goodbye (say goodbye)
We broke it down, to build it up
'Cause analogue life's digital enough
Initiate the cyberhex (cyberhex)
The only way to win is to reconnect
Stay alive, stay alive
I'd pull the sun from the sky
To freeze the future of time
And drift as one through the infinite (hold on)
I found asylum inside
Your armageddon eyes
I'd kill to kiss your apocalypse
Do you wanna live? (yeah)
Are you willing to die? (hoorah)
When heaven falls, I will be your light
Love will survive
In this hell, you are my paradise, ugh
Ahh, walk with me to the edge
Take my hand, oblivion
My heart is yours till we meet again
I'll see you in oblivion
I found asylum inside
Your armageddon eyes
And drift as one through the infinite (oh, oh)
And though our fates synchronized
I wasn't willing to die
Until I kissed your apocalypse
Pick it up
Annihilate our end of days
Love will find a way
Death shatters, and after
A thousand suns (suns)
Hope has not rust (rust)
Love has found a way
I will not terminate
I will annihilate
Red, White & Boom
Red, white, boom
I can't hear you
Red, white, boom
You can't come up for air when you're living on a dime
The truth is all around us if you read between the crimes
We ride the wheel of misfortune just like a carousel
We each are our own devil, and we make this world our hell
Cold and isolated
Sold out, violated
Over stimulated
So run for your life, or detonate it
Red, white, boom
I can't hear you
Red, white, boom
The land of the free, the sick, and depraved
They say you can't forget the past if you won't give up it's ghost
The difference between medicine and poison is the dose
Our carpel tunnel vision is our social suicide
So smile for the camera, aim it right between your eyes
Cold and isolated
Sold out, violated
Over complicated
So run for your life, or detonate it
Please keep your hopes and dreams
Inside the vehicle at all times
Free will is no longer permitted on this ride
One, two, f*ck you
Yeah
It's hard to take a breath when dying to survive
The truth is all around, just read between the crimes
Our coffin's rent to own, we're swinging from a rope
The symptoms of control, if undiagnosed, are doomed to explode
Cold and isolated
Force fed, violated
Divided states of hope and hatred
So run for your life or detonate it
Go f*ck the algorithm
I won't bow down to a broken system
Where madness is celebrated
So pull the pin and detonate it
Red, white, boom
I can't hear you
Red, white, boom
The land of the free, the sick, and depraved
Scoring the End of the World
Long live our symphony, in infamy, where dissonance remains
We score the final scene, adrenaline now coursing through our veins
Long live our symphony, this infantry survived a thousand suns
Silent, they still attack, we fire back with notes instead of guns
We echo, reverberate
Then leave them behind
(Fight)
Landmines composed in command lines
Amplify or die, it's us or them (oh)
This enclave's tearing through the airwaves
Screaming a war-torn requiem
Be not afraid
Trapped in hypocrisy's cacophony, all tension no release
When it's so hard to see the harmony, it's time to end the peace
(So stop the peace)
Stop their choir, change their key
Hit back hard in our reprise
Bring their fanfare to its knees
And we'll leave them behind
Landmines composed in command lines
Amplify or die, it's us or them (oh)
This enclave's tearing through the airwaves
Screaming a war-torn requiem
Be not afraid
Don't fall back, orchestrate the fallout
Score the ending of the world on this battleground
Survive yet another militant strike
Half-dead, but we're living up to the hype
Half-dead, as the speakers detonate like
Landmines composed in command lines
Amplify or die, it's us or them (oh)
(It's us or them)
This enclave's tearing through the airwaves
This is our war-torn requiem
The dawning of a new age
These aren't just notes on a page
These are the weapons of rebirth (requiem)
The dawning of a new age
Where we will take back the stage
To score the ending of the Earth
We're not afraid
Don't fall back, orchestrate the fallout
Score the ending of the world on this battleground
