Splinters in my fingers, soil in my eyes
I couldnt take the pressure, they buried me alive
They chewed me up, they fuckin spit me out
I'm laying in a casket, brain lights fading out

Gasping for air and clawing at the lid
I never could forgive you for what you fucking did

Now we're a little older, you think that things have changed
We're still a bunch of children playing fucking games
But now our slingshots are machine guns, our baseballs hand grenades
Sticks and stones will break your bones, you better be afraid

Now there aint no turning back
It keeps on seeping through the cracks
Its a cuff clamped tight around my wrist
Its the light in the tunnel I cant resist
Desensitized- shut my mouth and close my eyes
Its the poison flowing through my veins
Its the bullet tearing through my

All my friends are dropping like flies
Becoming what they always despised
Hanging up their boots
Changing their attitudes

All my friends are dropping like flies
The gleam is gone from their eyes
But I just cant let go
To the life that we led before

Turned your

I'm so damn close you can feel my breath
Not a day goes by i dont plot your death
And every day its getting worse
Haunting me just like a curse

Now its just a matter of time
You're driving me out of my mind
A shot goes off inside my brain
Every time i hear your name

Nowhere to hide, no end in sight
Been villified because I'm
Face to face- never join your world of hate
Face to face- never gonna embrace
Face to face- the attitude you dictate
Face to face- with hate
I've been despised, I've paid the price
To look at life through hum

I dont need your hope, I dont need your cause
I dont need your grace, I dont need your god
I dont need your rules, I dont need your laws
I'm not scared to face your firing squad

Well tie me to a pole and light my cigarette
I'll curse your ways until the day I draw my final

Outside they prey on me
Sink their claws right into me
They're inside, inside of me
Down my throat till i cant breathe

Lurking around every turn
They won't relent until i learn
To bow my head, accept my fate
I've been forcefed and it's too late

Take your medic

Couldnt stand to watch and learn
Now its beyond the point of no return
Still you show no concern

They're gonna have the last laugh
You're caught in the trap - last laugh

Keep looking up at the screen
It'll wipe your conscience clean
Slice like a guillotine

When will you learn from your mistakes
See the error of your ways
Every day you raise the stakes
Unaware of the price you pay
You're a filthy liar can't you see
Played us for a bunch of fools
Honesty and integrity
Were much too much to ask of you

Its long time you payed your dues
We're tired of your attitude
Can't you see this aint the place
To shove your morals in my face
The more things change the more they stay the same
The more things improve the more you complain
The more you destroy the more that remains

You think the fucking world's against
Everything you represent
A way of life you live and breathe
And fucking wear it on your sleeve

Gorged yourself till you were full
Confron-fucking-tational
Attitude you never had
Before you caught on to the fad

You act like

I'm scared routine will drag me down
I see the same old faces when i drive through town
Like restless ghosts they beckon me
To blend into the scenery

Wasting my time on the decline

Somehow the years keep dragging by
And i can't help but wonder why
This town feels

In my hour of despair
I built myself an electric chair
Gotta sit down before the walls close in
Gotta sit down and watch the city spin
Black and blue from head to toe
Scabbed and scarred and full of holes
Too dead to take a knife to the wrist
Too alive to let the pain

I'll be the skin of your teeth
I'll be the tag on your toe
I'll strike you with grief
I'll be your fatal blow

I'll be your wounds undressed
I'll be the knock on your door
I'll be your dying breath
When you can't take any more
