Human Contact

Conversation's killing me
better learn to have some fun
human contact's boring me
cut all feelings with a gun
am I running away?
It's not surprise when it hurts
from the bottom of my lungs
so let nature take its course
take some pills and loose my mind
am I running away?
I hate the way you look at me
I hate the way you touch me
you're a waste
I forgot every name
each face has been lost
human contact's choking me
it got me so undone
am I running away?
I hate the way you look at me
I hate the way you touch me
you're a waste
you know, it's not you it's me
and to be quite honest, I don't care no more
I cut it up and I'm finally through
I can't think of the last time that I felt this good
human contact's killing me
human contact's killing me
human contact's killing me
human contact's killing me

Nightstick Frenzy

nightstick frenzy
You'd better find a more satisfying way to use that stick
oh shit.. nightstick frenzy
your homophobic butt would be a more suited place
maybe the helmet is too tight?
or maybe you’re a sadistic piece of shit
maybe you pissed your fucking pants
I’m gonna find a way in
faceless - brain dead – watchdog
I’m waiting for your mind to crack
so I’ll find a way
but it may hurt a bit

Barking Dogs
01:25
|
|
||
|
The smoke clears so we can see through
Two-tones of grey is all that we're allowed to
We scream into the wind 'cause it's fear that incites
We have golden chains for our ankles and necks
We are a bunch of barking dogs
And we bite
We’re nothing more than just the sum of our parts
Twisted in a sado-masochistic pile of flesh
Bite down and bite hard until we feel the blood
Then all retentions fall and wonders of nature show
We are a bunch of barking dogs
And we bite
But actually we couldn't bark louder than we do
Cause our tongues were cut and mouths were sewn
And actually we couldn't hate you more than we do
Cause we're like beggars at the corner and what we bag for is you.
We are a bunch of barking dogs

Bad Trips
03:40
|

Bad trips, bad cuts on the sidewalks
What makes your life so great in this maze of lanes?
Red stains, black days, I've had enough
Lost in the customary, sent to worms
I packed the stuff like garbage
I set my house on fire
You messed with my life way too much
No matter how hard I've tried to
No matter how far I run
This place always trained me to eat shit and choke.
No matter how hard I've tried to
No matter how far I run
All I want from you is to be left alone.
Bad blood, night crawls on the sidewalks
Who made your life so mean in this feast of shame?
Good things to waste before the dawn
Like plaster scratched from walls, sent to worms
A place that once gave me shelter
But I can't stand the smell now
Even the last sun leaves you
No matter how hard I've tried to
No matter how far I run
This place always trained me to eat shit and choke.
No matter how hard I've tried to
No matter how far I run
All I want from you is to be left alone.
A place that once gave me shelter
But I can't stand the smell now

Gold

I'm tired, lazy and fat
And I'm not moving from the bed, it must be said
A breath of fresh air, I'd rather be locked in a coffin
Two thousand feet underground
Isolated, anesthetized and stoned.
Well, speaking of sedatives
I had plans that have been lost
Now I can barely move three fingers on each hand.
I'm information overload
Too many inputs, too much sharing
Too many hugs and handshakes.
I want to wall up the door and get dumb
As much as I'm bored
I'm a golden toy on a dirty floor
Don't play, don't tour
Don't play, don't express
Don't play, don't tour
Don't play, repress
I'm a golden toy on a dirty floor

Cheap Death
01:08
|
|

You got me involved in this game I did not know
Like a horse lead to water, but not to drink to drown
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
Sitting in a circle with a barrel of gas
Forced to breathe until it's done right
And I can't cut the cord, I can't get back home
I can't cut the cord, I can't get back home
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
But when it all ends, and when I try to come to
My friends are gone and I'm just alone
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good
Cheap death's so freaking good

Last Ride On Monday
02:19
|
|
||

It starts with a siren in the night
He 's always said that day would come
One cut, two cuts, until he gets to like it
Then one last ride and it's done
Slow down, his mouth is dry
Slow down he's gone
Increase that dose and cast him out
It will never work
It was fun and so out of control
He had better places to attend
And all of you are just not brave enough
To take this last ride
Slow down, his mouth is dry
Slow down he's gone
Increase that dose and cast him out
It will never fucking work at all
He left on Monday with his black shirt on
Slow down, his mouth is dry
Slow down he's gone
Increase that dose and cast him out
It will never work
He left on Monday with his black shirt on
With open veins and wide open eyes
It starts with a siren in the night
He 's always said that day would come
Slow down, his mouth is dry
Slow down he's gone
Increase that dose and cast him out
It will never work

Vile

Good old habits and good old mistakes
Locked in overcrowded spaces I never wanted to stay
I am so ugly and I found my place
On the wrong side of the fence until time slips away
Away with the hopes of youth
Away so fast
Stuck in lack of realism, where I am now?
And where I am now?
Away with the hopes of youth
It’s getting harder and harder
And every step I take it gets worse and worse
Stuck in lack of realism, where I am now?

Free Fall
01:22
|
|
||
|
I’m having a hard time breathing
Going back from the start
Struggling hard to find air
But it feels like it never ends
And now I am going into a free fall
But there’s no other place I’d rather stay
Speed up, speed up
Falling down out of control
Speed up, speed up, full speed ahead
I’m about to hit you
Faster headed to you
I’m gonna wreck the world
Free fall
There’s no other place I’d rather stay
Speed up, speed up
Falling down out of control
Speed up, speed up, full speed ahead

Claustrophobia
01:36
|
|
||
|
Brick by brick we raised these walls
From the bottom to the top in a thirty-years plan
Not a shelter
Not a refuge
Not a safe place
Not for us
This place is a plague and we are all infected
A home where we feed our disease and hide
So let’s climb on the top floor
Then jump off the roof and die.
This is not safety
It’s reclusion, it’s discomfort.
One day these walls will crumble on us
Tired of carrying their weight
Crumble and fall
Wasted and fall

Opium

Oh please, could you tell god not to count on me?
I'm sick of making new friends
Maybe one day I will really listen to him
Just for a laugh or to waste some time
Cause you know, I was told there's no dope in paradise
Then between one joke and another
Between a praise and a false smile
I'll put him in front of his reflection
Dull, shapeless, empty
And you'll see
You'll see this time he is going to be the one falling on his knees
Ande he will be scared
Of me
Of us
Of him
He will be scared of me

Loss
02:02
|
|

You woke up alone today
A Stranger in your own skin
Misguided and that body is no longer a home
The end is out of sight
You blew it all, you stupid fuck!
“Perspectives”, “intentions”, words with no home
The gallows you hang from is like pleasure with no love
It is you everywhere
You woke up dead today
And i can’t get a fucking word you say
Because you’re gradually ending up
“Play again all of your songs before they dissolve
Stop that noise, hear them sing, cut the lights and that’s all”
We’re too scared to leave the room because within these walls
We won’t ever age
Wipe your mouth, close the curtains and push the pain
The gallows you hang from is like pleasure with no love
And you’re finally gone

Impatience
02:47

Impatience is the way you knuckle under to your life
Impatience is your warm breath on my skin
Impatience is your look fixed on me
Impatience is your hand on me every single time
The missing piece that completes me
What makes you fucking swear
Impatience is such fun is the only thing I care
Impatience when you smile at me even if I'm wrong
Impatience is this apathy, I feel it on my own
Impatience is how slowly we're letting ourselves die
Impatience is such fun is the only thing I do care
The missing piece that completes me
What makes you fucking swear
Impatience is such fun is the only thing I do care
Impatience is such fun
Impatience is such fun, the only thing I do care
