Piece By Piece

Rip back that cord & let that chainsaw fly
Rev up the engine, now its time for you to die
Nothing makes me happier than the vibration in my hands
The smell of gas and the power it commands
I like it when you run and hide among the trees
The hunt is what I crave, the kill is what I need
To make it nice & fair I'll give you a head start
Makes it even better when I rip you apart
I can smell the terror dripping from your pours
So I pull back the throttle and let that sucker roar
Cause the more afraid you are the better the thrill
The more you scream the more I get my fill
Now I have you pinned, stuck against a tree
Jam in my blade and watch your agony
Blood sprays out and splatters every place
I just can't wipe the smile from my face

Abandon Hope
02:54
|
|||
I sold my soul long ago
The collectors here and it's time to go
Walk on through the demon gate
To meet the devil and seal my fate
Crawling through the filth on my hands and knees
Listening to all the tortured souls beg and scream
Flesh and blood splayed all around
Lakes of blood that drag you down
Now I sit in my cell
What awaits is my own hell
Everlasting eternal pain
Abandon hope cause its all too late
So when he comes in the night
listen closely and do what's right
Run away and save yourself

Desolate
03:09
|
|||
Sit back and watch the plague sweep across the land
Lock yourself away, I'd like to see if you can
No one is going to help you in your time of need
So cry to your government while you beg & plead
Now the world has changed right before your eyes
All your friends & family were taken by surprise
There's nothing you can do, now your all alone
Except watch the news and sit around at home
And think about the world and how it used to be
While corrupt politicians will never set you free
Money in their pockets and blood on their hands
While your told to wait and just do what you can
Sterilize the life that you once knew
Look out the window, I hope you enjoy the view
Sit back down and stare at your T.V.
All you have left for company are your machines

A Fire Inside
03:19
|
|||
The embers have cooled but not gone out
It takes one stir to burn them bright and hot
What once set the night a violent blaze
Has dimmed and began to fade away
Now the wind has come and blew around the ash
Igniting a flame, now the fires burning fast
There's nowhere you can run, nowhere you can hide
Now that the flame lit the fire inside
Like a locomotive charging at full steam
I'll run over everything to get where I need
Nothing's going to stop me and what I plan to do
I'll break down the walls and I'll break down you
I've made enemies and lost friends along the way
But I've carved my own path so that's OK
The road may be tough and hard to comprehend
Ill be standing tall in the end
A fire inside, burns inside my head
All I see is crimson red
Once more chance to get it right
Or just fade away into the night
So here I am once again, on my own, no more friends
The fire inside burns too bright, I won't give up, Ill keep up the fight
I'll turn the page one more time, Next chapter starts, I'm moving on
What you used to know about me is dead
I can't change the past, just push ahead

Bite the Bullet
03:04
|
|||
You got to bite the bullet & finally take a stand
Out the politicians who don't give a damn
About the average person working 9 to 5
Living check to check just to survive
They think the can control us with drugs, lies, and T.V
Dumb us down so we're too blind to see
Line their pockets off our blood, sweat, & tears
Get us to fight each other based off our fears
So swallow your pride and do what's right
Get off your couch and put up a fight
Nothing will happen unless you decide
Now is the chance to turn the tide
So string them up, and watch them swing
Now's the time to let freedom ring

Your Time Has Come
03:00
|
|||
There is no more room for you
Your hidden behind your lies
The time has come to expose the truth
It's time to open your eyes
We've had enough of you
You've run your course
If you don't leave on your own
We'll make you by force
So sick and tired
Of the same old thing
No more blind faith
What change can that bring
So stand up and make your voice be heard
Make them hear your every word
If they don't like what you have to say
Then the time has come to make them pay
The time is now
Time to make your voice be heard

The Old & The Dead
03:02
|
|||
When I was younger I was angry & bottled up
I didn't care about the world, only getting drunk
I took what I wanted and did as I pleased
Played in bands and got hassled by police
What the hell have I become?
I don't know any more and I can't change the things I've done
Time has left me behind
Like sand in a hourglass I'm left feeling high & dry
So many friends came & gone, victim to their disease
While I work day to day begging on my knees
Sometimes I wonder if they are better off
Rotting in the ground than lead by Donald Trump
Now that I'm older and still fucked in the head
Why am I still here while all my friends are dead
But I'll keep doing the things I always do
Remembering the good times I had with all of you
We are the old & the dead
Friends came & gone leaving me here instead
We are the old & the dead
No looking back, it is time to push ahead

One Last Ride
03:30
|
|||
Driving real fast down highway 5
Ain't nobody going to take me alive
I got a loaded .44 and a wish for death
A back seat full of money, now I hold my breath
I lie, I cheat, I murder, I steal
Just me and my prize behind the wheel
The spikes come out, my wheels go flat
My car flips over and my vision fades to black
I wake up and see the cops come running
I unload 6 shots and now the bullets start coming
So now I'm dying but I have no fear
I unload more ammo and now the end is here
I got a perfect view of heaven from my front row seat in hell
God never loved me but the devil treated me so well
Now I sit on my throne of bone in hell
Here forever because of the evil life I lead
I knew this would happen, the way it would be
Living in hell, Damned for eternity

The Call of the Void
03:15
|
|||
Standing at edge I look into the abyss
Get the urge to jump when reality hits
I take a deep breath, where'd I get this thought
The call of the void is pulling me along
Have you ever wondered what it's like to drown?
Or step into traffic until your lifeless on the ground
Maybe take a knife and cut into your veins
I wish I had the words, I wish I could escape
But now I've gone beyond the call
So fuck this place, I'll end it all
Time to walk back on the ledge
Take two step, now here comes the end
|
||||
10. |

The walls came crumbling all around
I want to keep going but everyone let me down
I knew from the beginning that you all lost your heart
Time for you to move on and become a adult
The dream is dead but I don't care
I'll keep moving forward, I just don't know where
So much sacrifice for all those years
Just to let it end for no one to hear
Standing at the pass, which direction will it be?
The path that leads to nowhere or the one that sets me free
I'll keep on sailing, floating right along
Another empty bottle another unheard song
Now that their gone and I'm still here
I'll write another song and take a look into the mirror
A BETTER WAY
I work this 9 to 5
I drink to stay alive
Pass out on the floor
I live day to day and not a day more
There must be a better way
But I got all the rent and bills to pay
Live and die with a drink in hand
Dreaming of the road and distant lands
Going through the motions just to stay on top
God knows that's not what I really want
But I'll just grab another beer
Just a few more until the end is here
Waiting for the future I was destined for
I guess I'll wait just a little bit more
36 years have passed me by
How many left before I die?
