Reckoning Day
I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop

I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there's nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning day

I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me

I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground

Peace Sells
What do you mean
I don't believe in God?
I talk to him every day
What do you mean
I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to

What do you mean
I can't get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
And what do you mean
I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

What do you mean
I hurt your feelings?
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean
I ain't kind?
I'm just not your kind

What do you mean
I couldn't be president
Of the United States of America?
Tell me something
It's still "We the people…" right?

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace sells but who's buying?
No, peace sells

Angry Again
The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear

Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away
The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture it's jaw to let me be

A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Use The Man
I heard somebody fixed today
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he won't get done

I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
To the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it's fatal
It's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man

Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders
Why the monkey only lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose

I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
To the gutter on their hands

They fight a war but it's fatal
It's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle in his hand

Cryptic writing on the wall
The beginning of the end
I've seen myself use the needle
Seen the needle in my hand

She Wolf
The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
The priestess roars: Get down on your knees

The rite of the praying mantis
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching through the night
A howling man surrenders the fight

One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she wolf

My desires of flesh obey me
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own
The sound of claws on cobblestone
I'm stoned

Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her hidden will to kill in disguise

Tornado Of Souls
This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up I wanted to cry
But dammed this well's gone dry

Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power just no more games

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado blow me away

You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death

Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears just self abuse

Who's to say what's for me to say?
Who's to say what's for me to be?
Who's to say what's for me to do?
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel

I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse

And now I fill your brain
I spin you around again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed

You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death

A Tout Le Monde
Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became

I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak and they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred
