Go
Oh, please don't go out on me, don't go on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go fuck 

Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers overhead, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a fool not a fucking god
No time suck my Please 
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please oh 

Suck blood touch please, tunnel vision tuck time see 
Please, please, please 
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please Don't you want me don't go on me 
Please don't go on me

Daughter
You guys ready  
Alone listless breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl violins center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room can't deny there's something wrong 

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me 

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above ooh oh 

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me 

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go, go, go

Glorified G.
Got a gun, fact I got two
That's okay man, cos I love god
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun

Double think, dumb is strength
Never shot at a living thing
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a 

Always keep it loaded
Always keep it loaded
Always keep it loaded

Kindred to be an American 

Life comes I can feel your heart 
Ooh life comes I can feel your heart through your neck 
Life comes I can feel your heart through your neck 
Like some I can steal your heart form your neck

Dissident
She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past a holy no 
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh she folded 
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact with the conflict 
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold she folded 
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh oh oh 
She gave him away when she couldn't hold no she folded 
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh 
Couldn't hold on she couldn't hold no she folded 
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh 
A dissident is here

W.M.A.
He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to him
Police man
Police man

He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
Do no wrong, so clean cut 
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man
Police man
Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police man
Police man

Jesus greets me looks just like me 

Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man
Police man
Police man
Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police man
Police man

Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police stopped my brother again
Police man
Police man
Police man

All my pieces set me free, human devices set me free
All my pieces set me free
All my pieces set me free
Human devices set me free
Human devices set me free
All my pieces set me free
All my pieces set me free
Human devices set me free
Human devices set me free

Blood
Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
Stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
It's my blood
It's my blood

Paint Ed big Turn Ed into One of his enemies 
It's my blood
It's my blood
It's my blood

Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
Maker of my enemies 
Take my 
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Rearviewmirror
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gauged, united by fear
S'pose to endure what I could not forgive 

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Clearer
Clearer
Once you, were in my Rearview mirror 

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades are raised hey 

Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you
Rearview mirror
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you
Rearview mirror
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you
Rearview mirror

Saw things so much clearer
Once you oh yeah

Rats
They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

Rats, they don't compare
Rats, they don't compare
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello 
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away 

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade away 
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade

Leash
Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight, oh 
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side, yeah 

Young lover I stand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
We will find a way, we will find our place

Drop the leash, drop the leash
Get outta' my fuckin' face
Drop the leash, drop the leash
Get outta' my fuckin' face
Drop the leash, drop the leash
Get outta' my fuckin' face

Drop the leash, we are young
Drop the leash, we are young
Oh, get outta' my fuckin' face 
Drop the leash, drop the leash 
Get outta' my, my 

Delight, delight, delight in our youth oww 
Get outta' my fuckin' face

Indifference
I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell 
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah 

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make..how much difference 

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference
How much difference
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make
