Crossroads 01:19
Reach out and touch the light Even with trembling hands When I meet you there We will walk passed together

Welcome to scum fuck city You're one of us Scouring amongst the wreckage Of a modern nightmare I am mine, I belong to me Screaming for something different, wanting to be free Despite despair, You dream a new dream Broken hearts Bellowed by hatred Fanning the flames (Firing the winds of change) Never know thyself, willful ignorance, ignored Feels like it’s everyone against each other, forever wanting more The sick feed the sick The blind lead the blind As the hours count down, try to be kind

Jobs or Jail 03:01
Slave to the bosses billions We create their fucking wealth Kill each other for scraps Grind the bodies , and pay us to feed Pay for my death Give them the rest Did I pass the test Life is for the living Watch as the dead rise To eat the rich Jobs or jail, Work or war Jobs or jail, Stay put? sit still? Jobs or jail Work or war Jobs or jail Force feed! force shit! On my knees begging for another Glass slaughterhouses (one row after the other) Clocks tick off I haven’t seen enough chained to your work Hurry and wait No delays are allowed early to fall Commodify me and my labor Alienate me from myself Jobs or Jail Work or war Stay Put Sit Still Im tired of begging for scraps When we deserve the whole fucking lot Jobs or Jail Work or war

Come to show you how to live Because although you breathe You’re the most fucking dead Heat of traffic Steal my style again Sudden waves of sadness Evaporate into nothingness Like candles blown out when you left Dignity and fucks thrown out as well We’re all poor and desperate And we’ll take all we can get * Lost in flight seeing mindlessly Fire in my blood Floodlight the places you choose not to look Pushing forward , rising up Every lost battle Still standing True strength Found when I’m backed in the corner Got so bored I Watched my fingernails grow Gimme gimme gimme I need some more And more and more and more

She had nut painted arms That were hers to keep And in her fear She sought cracked pleasures The passion of lovers is for death said she Licked her lips And turned to feather And as I watched from underneath I came aware of all that she keep The little foxes so safe and sound They were not dead They'd gone to ground The passion of lovers is for death said she The passion of lovers is for death The passion of lovers is for death said she The passion of lovers is for death She breaks her heart Just a little too much And her jokes attract the lucky bad type As she dips and wails And slips her banshee smile She gets the better of the bigger to the letter The passion of lovers is for death said she The passion of lovers is for death The passion of lovers is for death said she The passion of lovers is for death The passion of lovers is for death said she The passion of lovers is for death The passion of lovers is for death said she
