Flesh Wound

Bloody knuckles
Beaten down
Pick myself up off the ground
Rise and shine
Fell one more time
Too much on my mind
Mom is god
Dad is dead
Just enough to fuck with my head
Mom is god
Dad is dead
Just enough to fuck with my head
Chorus
Flesh wounds
Showing up like a bruise
Flesh wounds
On the inside of you
Flesh wounds
I got one or two, one or two
Flesh wounds
Remind myself I have to crawl
Stand tall through it all
Empty bag and
Never feeling bad
About the times I’ve had
I scrape my knees
Make them bleed
For the sake of pain
Paper cut what the fuck
Head first into love
Chorus
Awe man, do you have any Band-aids?
I don’t know if my blood will coagulate
My skin my scabs are starting to break
Oh, this fucking hurts
My gut is sprained
Left alone
By my friends
In the end
Who am I?
Look in my eyes
Loyalty never pays
One more scar
On my heart
I cut my legs
I cut my arms
This is me
I fall apart
To show you all my pain
Chorus

Thanks for telling me nothing
Thanks for wasting my time
You got me falling for me nothing
Push me into the fire
I know I said you’d say it again
I know I said I’d do it again
You know you said you’d do it again
You know you said you’d say it again
Lame brain x2
Ooo ya ch ch
Crashing into the bottom
I see you standing in line
It’s already forgotten
You’re kind of blowing my mind
I know you said you’d say it again
I know you said you’d do it again
You know I said I’d say it again
You know I said I’d do it again
You know I said you’d say it again
You said I know I’d do it again
I know you said you’d say it again
You know you said you’d do it again
Lame brain x2
Ooo ya ch ch

And then it hit me with the side of shovel
Those whispers, the first sign of a struggle
Little men from outer space
Walkin’ out to scroll the trolls to see who knows
They’re out to get me
It’s out to get me
They really get me
Don’t forget me
Chorus
Make me make me make me sick
Make me make me make me itch
Make me make me make me
Hit me
Make it go away
And I’m twisted and I’m spinning out
There’s too many of you to please
And I play dead because they know I’m alive
Shove me shake me slap me twice
And then it hit me, and then it hit me
They’re out to get me
Chorus
They come they come they come
they come and they go
Yell yell yell it’s no use
This is some kind of verbal abuse
And I’m hungry for the pain to go
Cuz it’s eating me eating me slow
Too many of you can’t see
Argue all alone and the losers are me
And then hit me
And then hit me
Chorus
Shut it off
Make it stop
Shut it off
I’m done I’m done I’m done I’m spun
I’m dumb

Hey there’s something wrong
Help me I’m not strong
Here it’s in my arms
I can’t control the want
Chorus
Sane as I sane as I sane as I ever am
Same as I same as same as I ever do
Dirt beneath my heart
Junk is all around
I fall I hit the ground
Choke behind the drip
Chorus
Free pain! Sleepin! Free pain!
Scheming! Drippin! Free pain! Free Pain!
Hey I feel the bite
Help me I can’t fight
Here it’s in my arm
Before I hit the ground
Chorus
Beat down. Deep down.
Bring down. Deep down.
Take me down! Take me down!
Take me down!
Hey.............................

Now I'm Angry
02:38

You look at me through phony glass
It’s that time to take it back
Quit checking in with me
I’m not angry I’m not angry
Words you said to me today
Left me confused inside my head
I won't let them hurt my feelings
Because I like the feeling
Please don’t ask me how I’m doing
You almost come off condescending
I start to think that you’re on drugs
I’m not angry
Words you said to me today
Left me confused inside my head
I won't let them hurt my feelings
Because I have no feelings
I'm not angry I’m not angry
I’m not angry I’m not angry I’m not angry
Get it out get it out shut it down
get it out shut it up get it out
I’m not angry... Now I’m ANGRY!

Laughing Stock
02:09
|

|
The chuckle down the hall you know I can hear.
You ridicule me and I don’t even care
In time your mockery will become your fate
Tune it out
I’m not listening
No way you’re better than me
Chorus
Chase it erase it throw it away
I’m not your laughing stock x2
It seems my backs against the wall
Downright bored of it all
No time to second guess
No time to quit
Antagonize
Push me aside
No way you’re better than me
Chorus
Stop that laughing
Come a little closer
Say what you gotta say
Be man enough to say to my face
Your jokes run dry
This crowd is crushing me
I’m checking the rear view
no way you’re better than me
Chorus x2

Bad Dream
02:49

It’s been a long night, in a bad dream
You picked the wrong girl
On the step behind the pew
Loaded ready its time shoot
Twisted sister pull the trigger
Broke my will shattered faith
There is an evil inside my brain
Hailing Mary screams my name
Pull the trigger ready aim
Pull the trigger ready aim
Chorus
Oooo boy I’ll hunt you down
Oooo boy I’ll chase you down
Oooo boy I’ll hunt you down
Oooo boy I’ll chase you down
Oooo boy I’ll hunt you down
Oooo boy I’ll chase you down
And make you mine
Hate, anger and disgust
Take him out he turns to dust
Can’t stand it any longer
Urge to kill is getting stronger
Go ahead load the gun go ahead loaded gun
It’s my turn to fight
It’s my turn tonight
Chorus
You’re not even expecting it
I can tell your wanting some
Perfect time for satan’s plan
No one can save you now
Wait no longer, take his breath
You can say, you killed a man
No more regrets
Just him leave to die
On the step behind the pew
Loaded ready its time shoot
Twisted sister pull the trigger
Broke my will shattered faith
Sweaty palms I slip away
There is an evil inside my brain
Hailing Mary screams my name
Pull the trigger ready aim
Chorus
Are you real or in my head
Images are not clear
Can’t believe that I’m not dead
It’s that time to take you down
Close your eyes
I’ll make it quick
No one can save you now
Maybe… strangely... same dream

Not For You

I’ve done it all I gave my all
My sweat my blood my tears
All made up of things you do
Nothing left bone dry
I can’t stop getting high
Pinch my nerve we always try
I died inside of
Chorus
You can’t have me you can’t have me
I’m not made for you
You can’t have me you can’t have me
I’m not made for you
Linger from afar
You call me to the car
I’m scratching at the scars
Bleeding out my heart
You’re sticking to the glue
It’s stuck inside my shoe
Back and forth and back and forth...
Chorus
I just can’t with all the bullshit
I hope you trip and fall
I hope you eat weird shit and die
Emptiness sits on my door step
Of course there’s nothing left
Waiting to hear from you
I grab that bitch pull her back
This time you can’t have me back
Such a pathetic point of v...

Damage

Chorus:
Sucking at life
Sucking at life
Can’t get it right
Fucked up this life
Something ain’t right
Down on my life
Cram it Dammit
They say it’s my attitude
Damaged dammit
Could be my point view
I’m damaged
Why am I always rude?
Dammit
Chorus
Damaged
Such a catastrophe
Dammit
The epitome of agony
Cram it
What’s the point of me
Damaged
Unaccepted by society
Values lost and morals not valued
Nights are so lonely
Super hyper focused on things that don’t even matter
I lost my job and anyone close to me.
Dammit dammit
Chorus
Slam it Damn it
What’s the point of me
Cram it dammit
Nothing saved
Waking up, why do I have to?
No one to love
Soaked in pain
Something ain’t right
Can’t get it right
Fucked up my life

Rage

Punisher creator left
Center stage the crowd is deaf
Take my hand feel the pulse
Faint dark mad I’m near death
Too fucked to function
I don’t care
I guess I’m losing mind
I’m really missing my soul
And I rage
My broken heart is cold
And I rage
I’m spinning out of control
And I rage rage rage
Coward down colored blue
Cornered in my panic room
Softly screaming in head
Build up stories make me mad
I’m running I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
I’m really missing my soul
And I rage
I’m falling into a hole
And I rage
My broken heart is cold
And I rage rage rage
It’s fine, It’s fine, I’m fine, It’s fine It’s fine, I’m fine
Vocal cords tighten up
All my words crusted shut
Dirty smile, crocodile, what a slut
Fake a kindness, feed the blind
Wrap my tears around rut
Oh it’s a dangerous mind
I’m really missing my soul
And I rage
My broken heart is cold
And I rage
I’m crawling out of my hole
And I rage rage rage
I’m really missing my soul
And I rage
My broken heart is cold
And I rage
I’m spinning out of control
And I rage rage rage

Alone
02:17

You say alone
I cannot feel a thing
Leave me alone
Kill this pain inside me
I lose control
Sit down and contemplate
All that I know
Find out I’m losing it
Circle the fear
In this reality
Where did they go
All of the friends I made
There’s no one here
They keep on pushing me
Leave me alone
Alone Alone
My own thoughts are killing me
What you get is what I see
There’s a place inside of me
I am not always happy
These are the days
I know I cannot cheat
Take all the pills
It’s not the remedy
Numb but aware
Of what is happening
I know my fate
Leave me alone
My own thoughts are killing me
What you get is what I see
There’s a place inside of me
Sit awake I cannot sleep
It’s my fault I’m to blame
It’s my fault know my name
Break the wall
Feel the pain
It’s my fault it’s my fault
You say I’m stuck
I don’t give a fuck
The torture is real
Change all the ways I feel
It’s always fake
Find a place to isolate
It’s always fake
Leave me alone
My own thoughts are killing me
What you get is what I see
There’s a place inside of me
I’m alive I’m dying
It’s my fault I’m to blame
It’s my fault know my name
Break the wall
Feel the pain
It’s my fault it’s my fault

Do yourself a favor and order the 10", with extras if you can. The record itself is beautiful and the extras are a work of art (they are gonna end up taking over a wall in my house). There isn't a single song that doesn't rock. If you're into punk and psychobilly with totally relatable and raw lyrics, this will not disappoint. And the digital extras...OMG.
