Run For Your Life Goodbye, is all they said to us. I don’t know what it means. But now we’re contagious and left alone to fight this. However many times it takes us. I refuse to fall the victim to your hopeless insanity. Lights go out as the city burns down. This is not a threat ignore what you found. After all in all, we just don’t count. You and I we don’t count. Run For Your Life Give it up, it’s just all in your head. I don’t know where it came from. But I got a good idea where it ends. Now the time has come to shut it down. Don’t you wanna live? Make it now. There’s no forgiveness, in this house without a sound. Run For Your Life This enemy, is on the inside. Everything you do, everything you say. They use it as proof. To convict, to convict you. The irony is just so sad, This is not some dream you had. And this is not over, til the bitter end. This is not over, is it sinking in? Lights go out as the city burns down This is not a threat ignore what you found. After all in all, we just don’t count. Run For Your Life This enemy is on the inside. Time runs out did you just stand by? Isolate the threat, expose what they hide. After all is gone, the war is for your mind. Lights go out as the city burns down. The message is the threat, expose what you found. ‘Cause after all in all, better make this count, make it count, make it count.

No Tomorrow 02:46
Breathing it seems so easy. Take our lungs away and we’ll do anything. But our lives are so insignificant. We are all blind to the big picture and I trade my hours for a pocket full of dimes. Living it seems so trivial. Give our greed away ‘cause the money’s too vital. But our lives are so insignificant. We all need that big power and I buy my deceit over the counter. Break the world, I can’t, wait any longer. Open our eyes before there’s No Tomorrow. Open our eyes before we’re all gone. Screaming it seems so easy. Take our voice away and we’ll be nothing. But our lives are so insignificant. We all need that big power and I buy my deceit over the counter. Break the world, I can’t, wait any longer. Open our eyes before there’s No Tomorrow. Open our eyes before we’re all gone.

My mind trips, as I fall, my crutch, laid out before me. My knees are scarred, from times I fell before, I fall. Like all the times before. How wise we thought we were. Mere boys in the eyes of men. Living each day beyond our own means. Overtaken by a worlds selfish dreams. Seeing life, in a bizarre tunnel vision. Friendship’s a bond for life, now 10 years are fucking gone, those days. We seem so far away. Dream the dream, the dream of few. We played the lives of fools. Too full of ourselves to admit defeat. Scurry like mice boys. Go tell your tale. But be forewarned, you need not speak. The truth it comes, the truth comes out in the end, the truth comes out in the end. How wise we thought we were. Mere boys in the eyes of men. Living each day beyond our own means. Overtaken by a worlds selfish dreams. Seeing life, in bizarre tunnel vision. Friendship’s a bond for life, now 10 years are fucking gone, those days. We seem so far away. Dream the dream, the dream of few. We played the lives of fools. Too full of ourselves to admit defeat.

Through You 03:23
I came to fight, you can’t hide I came to fight, look me in the eye. I came to fight, you can’t hide. I can see right Through You. I came to fight, I see Through You. Black, green torn at the seams, heartbeat, flatline. Black, blue almost through, don’t stop. They’re right behind you, right behind you. This time it’s gonna take, a little more to bring ‘em down. This time it’s gonna take, no remorse for the crown. Revenge is what we want and it’s all over now. It’s all over now. Black, yellow the dose is hard to swallow. Deathwish mission. Black, red until we’re all dead, don’t stop, they’re coming after you, coming after you. This time it’s gonna take, a little more to bring em down. This time it’s gonna take, no remorse for the crown. Revenge is what we want and it’s all over now. I came to fight, you can’t hide I came to fight, look me in the eye. I came to fight, you can’t hide. I can see right Through You. I came to fight. I see Through You.

Ever Get It 03:01
God damn how I fucking lose my mind. Every second of this life, a victim of my own demise. Can I trade the secrets and the lies, for some kind of piece of mind, that doesn’t cost me everything Get in line, for your suicide. Don’t even begin to try ‘cause you won’t Ever Get It. Choice is mine, every single time. I can’t pretend that I, can function in this assembly line. The time is now, get out on the town and bring the fucker down, because we all deserve to die now. Get in line, for your suicide. Don’t even begin to try ‘cause you won’t Ever Get It. Get in line, for your suicide. We all deserve to die, don’t even begin to try ‘cause you won’t Ever Get It.

Here we go. One more minute I would have lost my breath, asphyxiate, call the Exorcist. This head trip is far from over, don’t look over your shoulder, there’s a big bad wolf knocking at your door. Give me, give me, give me. Something I can sink my teeth into. Dig for me, dig for me, dig, I know there’s something Buried in You. This is the end, This is the end, This is the end, This is the end. Give me, give me, give me, Something I can sink my teeth into. Dig for me, dig for me, dig, I know there’s something Buried in You. Here we go. One more minute I would have lost my breath, asphyxiate, call the Exorcist. This head trip is far from over, don’t look over your shoulder There’s a big bad wolf knocking at your door. This head trip is far from over, this head trip is far from over. Give me, give me, give me, Something I can sink my teeth into. Dig for me, dig for me, dig, I know there’s something Buried in You.

Ghostrider 03:03
Ghostrider motorcycle hero. Ghostrider motorcycle hero. America is killing it’s youth. I see them trying, dying, choking burning going down, going down, going down I see he’s riding, he’s riding. Don’t fuck with a Ghostriders heart. He’s riding through your town with his head on fire. He’s riding through your town with his head on fire, Ghostrider, Ghostrider. Halo burning eyes on fire Halo burning eyes on fire. Ghostrider. Keep riding, never stop riding, Don’t forget to burn, don’t forget to burn with fire, with fire.

Heights 02:49
Fill my lungs 1 million times. The skin, it cracks and turns to lines. Hold it up, where all can see. We’re temporary and frayed at the seams. Don’t think the highs, Were worth the lows. Give it a little breathing room. A fall from that height. Is enough to bruise. Don’t think the highs, Were worth the lows, Now you walk alone. Fill my lungs 1 million times, Now you walk alone. Skin it cracks and turns to lines. Now you walk alone, now you walk alone.

This is not to negotiate. The verdict is in and we’re sentenced to another non existence. Just one more reason I’m not like you. You, you set it off, it’s out of my hands Now I got nothing, nothing left for you. Don’t hold your breath for another chance. You’ll just go and fuck it up. You, you set this up, now we gotta dig it out. Now we gotta dig it out, I can’t believe. I trusted you again, fell for it again. You set this up. No Exit Underground. You, you said enough, get in or get dead. Cause I got nothing, nothing left to prove. You piece of shit, hypocrite, you’ll just go and fuck it up. This is not up for debate you’ve run out of luck. We’re pulling the plug. No Exit Underground.

No Stop Now 03:53
Tonight, we’re going down in history. Fuck em all, this is who I am. Tonight, we’re going down in history. Fuck em all, this is what I’m meant to be. Blood, in your mouth, it isn’t mine, to preach about. You had to know how deep this would go, you had to know how deep this would go. Tonight, we’re going down in history. Fuck em all, this is what I’m meant to be. Tonight, we’re going down in history. Fuck em all, this is who I am. No, No Stop Now, just start over. Just our blood on the ground. It isn’t mine I speak about. You had to know, how deep this would go. Well now you know how deep this would go. No, No Stop Now, just start over. We start it over. We start it over.

Just got paid today, Got me a pocket full of change. Said, I just got paid today, Got me a pocket full of change. If you believe like workin' hard all day, just step in my shoes and take my pay. I was born my fathers son, when I hit the ground I was on the run. I had one glad hand and the other behind. You can have yours, just give me mine. When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night, stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right. Just got paid today, got me a pocket full of change. Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool? Yes, I do man, my bag is full. It's the root of evil and you know the rest but it's way ahead of what's second best.
