Chaos 03:30
I'm riding here shotgun You're back firing once again In my hands Start focusing on the road And not where were coming from Which way we'll go And I'm already half way there The chaos is on your mind And I'll follow you in despair Wherever this road may wind A fork is within the road And I'm not sure which way Which way to go Keep focusing on me now And not where we're coming from Which way we'll go Into my head, look into my eyes Inside my heart I am waiting to find Inside my mind I'm still waiting

I heard you say That I’m everything to you And then you made Off with Gitche Manitou And back you came Armed with your excuse And my friends I’m sorry but I’ll have to refuse You tasted my flesh and tainted blood But now you’ve got to speak your mind Say what you wanna Say what you wanna say Not that it ever mattered anyway Pray for redemption Hope then to start again It’s too late You’ve already fallen from grace I think I’m going insane, for real I’m not just saying for the sake of saying it Where’s the shrink at? My product comes shrink wrapped It’s part of the problem Started from the bottom with the bottom dwellers Rose up, that instant, forgot them Fuck them they’re nothing to me now Not the same as I was some summers down Memory lane, lemon meringue more sour now Head of the game, rap powerhouse Get what I’m saying? Then get louder now You tasted my flesh and tainted blood And now you’ve got to speak your mind Say what you wanna Say what you wanna say Not that it ever mattered anyway Pray for redemption Hope then to start again It’s too late You’ve already fallen from grace Say what you wanna Say what you wanna say Not that it ever mattered anyway I haven’t gave a fuck in a while, I’m fucking faded Fresh out of class, headed to the fucking basement Smoking loud speakers, loud complaining Kills my vibe Just lie to my face And tell me I’m your favourite Say what you wanna Say what you wanna say Not that it ever mattered anyway Pray for redemption Hope then to start again It’s too late You’ve already fallen from grace

Cadence 03:28
When I say get over here You better get it right It's what makes me alive
 I taught you everything I know And when you need to bite It's what makes me alive I'm alive 
Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie? You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide
 On your back is all I ask I'm gonna wipe the tears away It's what makes me insane
 The water waits until your bored And we'll call this foreplay It's what makes you insane I'm insane
 Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie? You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide from me 
On your back is all I ask I'm gonna wipe the tears away It's what makes you insane Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie to me? Do you think you can lie? You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide from me You better hope that you hide from me

Pry 04:10
I dust you off and rub you clean A treasure chest unlike nothing I've seen Riddled with words, virtuous claims And hieroglyphs from an earlier reign I feel my way up to your hinge But something's stopping me from entering in This little box, she needs a key Or magic words just to set her free Don't protect yourself Let me feel your wealth And I'll pry you open My will is weak for tongue and cheek And I was hoping You'd let me in and come with me Come on I crack the code and break you in I feel myself moving under your skin There's just one gem, a paragon I'll leave without it cause I got what I want Don't protect yourself Let me feel your wealth And I'll pry you open My will is weak for tongue and cheek And I was hoping You'd let me in and come with me Come on Don't protect yourself Don't protect yourself Don't protect yourself And I'll pry you open My will is weak for tongue and cheek And I was hoping You'd let me in and come with me Come on I'll pry I'll pry

The Hermit 03:15
Seasons are changing and so are we So we left him on his own to see what he would be Went that night alone, with a stick of TNT Bust the cap right off the gnome, good god no that was me Getting loaded for free by taking it from me So we dubbed him inhumane and dumped him on the street We’ll see it as a shame cause he’s living day by day Keep the alter for his name, good god take him away Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay His roots are in the ground in the land where he was wound Like old embers blaze when the night comes down This may not be him lost, but some say he’s far from found Trapped inside her chamber, good god don’t make a sound Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay, yeah Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay Never looked back he’s the man of the land Found him down the road with a trunk in his hand He’s heading far away still right here he’s said to stay

Home 04:39
He had a feeling in his chest Just a feeling he guessed He'd have to cope Cause he lived when the West was getting cold Cold as snow So he lived in the trees It was hard on his knees And he had none Worked hard for his needs and dreamt of sun It's just begun This is This is home This is This is home This is home Home Home Most keep it in their wreaths But for him it never leaves It hurts to know It gets harder to be free, nowhere to go In this his home His warmth came from the flames Which came from the decays And he feared for the ones He'd never see again, he found a gun It lead him to the sun This is This is home This is This is home This is home Home Home

I'm gonna take advantage of every opportunity I'm gonna do what's right even if it starts to bother me I'm gonna hold my head in an angle that will let me see I'm gonna hold my breath even though you give me room to breathe Hang my head down Hang by a thread Gonna take advantage of every opportunity Hang my head down Hanging by a thread Hang my head down Hanging by a thread If I could make you feel How I often feel Would it help you smile? If I could make you see What I often see Would it be worth while? Gonna take advantage of you

War 04:40
So we won the war So we won the battle Fought them at the shoreline Fought them by the saddle Fell like a stone Into our arms And now we are alone The city is all ours Where will we go? When everything is won What will we own? When the spoils are all All gone? Without the use of force No one will subside Just like the giant horse That no one looked inside So we won the war So we won the battle What was it for? Does it even matter? Where will we go? When everything is won What will we own? When the spoils are all Where will we go? When everything is won What will we own? When the spoils are all All gone? All gone So we won the war So we won the battle What was it for? Does it even matter? Where will we go? When everything is won What will we own? When the spoils are all Where will we go? When everything is won What will we own? When the spoils are all All gone? All gone

If I could sleep tonight And didn't have to take this life If I could somehow save you If I knew the words to say There's mountains in between us Cliffs that I can't pass The bridges burned long before Long before you said we had detached But I'm glad we had the chance The thousand miles between us Only brings us closer I stay up at night and think of you When I'm staring at my posters There's not a lot that's left to do And not a lot to say It's make it hard when you're far away These pictures don't complete you They do no justice only harm The thought is there but can't compare To when you're in my arms And I could light the candle And I could start a flame I'll bring your smile back to life As your memory fades away All that remains The thousand miles between us Only brings us closer I stay up at night and think of you When I'm staring at my posters There's not a lot that's left to do And not a lot to say It's make it hard when you're far away The thousand miles between us Only brings us closer I stay up at night and think of you When I'm staring at my posters There's not a lot that's left to do And not a lot to say It's make it hard when you're far away A thousand miles between us

Kurt Cobain 03:34
A kid far from famous and he lost it all Sold all his friends and he bought his throne He's down on the bathroom he's looking for more Trying to feed the monster at his own front door A pocket full of thoughts all floating in his head They're all fucking stupid here take mine instead There's a certain I think when everything is on hold Is this the place we belong or have we just gotten old Dial's tickin' around empty Is it MTV or is that me Birds flying in a perfect V And I say, ain't that something? Well ain't that something? A kid far from famous and he lost it all Sold all his friends and he bought his throne He's down on the bathroom he's looking for more Trying to feed the monster at his own front door The dumb founded fame of Kurt Cobain He built a life of lies and he staged his own name Drenched in the sweat of last nights cocaine He blocks out the sun, now he'll never be the same Dial's tickin' around empty Is it MTV or is that me Birds flying in a perfect V And I say, ain't that something? Ain't that something
