Armatage Shanks

Stranded...lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
I'm Branded...maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning...no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted deviot

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Stranded...lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

I'm gettin' pisst
I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Brat

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
And got my inheritance

Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

Chump

I don't know you
But,I think I hate you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange how you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb

You're the cloud hanging out over my head
Hail comes crashing down welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still get one over on me

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb

Longview

Sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on
I change the channel for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumb just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going to blind!!!
And I smell like shit

Peel me off from this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I lock the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration
I sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbations lost its fun
You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored and I'm going to blind
And lonliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth

Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me whining
It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums and some call it nice
I want to take you through the waste land
That I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reasons it's now feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pulling Teeth

I'm all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one
Who put me inthis state

Is she ultra violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her I love her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!!

For now I lie around
Hell that's all I cen really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true

Looking out my window for someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm locked in here
All I do is cry

Basket Case

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life is a bore
And quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

Grasping to control
So you better hold on
Back to List

She

She, she screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self control

Are you locked up in a world
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She, she's figured out
That all her doubts are someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self control

Sassafras Roots

Roaming 'round your house
Wasting your time
No obligation, just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time

I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time, too?

Warding off regrets
Wasting your time
Smoking cigaretts
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time

When I come Around

I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get
Uptight you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
So i don't need no accuser
To slag me down because I know I'm right

So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that youeself
Doubt means nothing was ever there Y
ou can't go forcing something
If it's just not right

Coming Clean

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeltons come to life in my closet
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand
What's happening to me

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand
What's happened to me

Emenius Sleepus

I saw my friend the other day
And I dont' know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
And I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick
And I wanna go home

How have I been how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong
I knew you back when
And you...you knew me
And now I think you're sick
I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true
Back to List

In The End

All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
Yeah, you finally got what you want
Someone to look good with
And light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?

I figured out that you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
Sooooooo...
I hope I won't be there
In the end if you come around

How long will he last
Before he's in a creep in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up again
And be my "special friend" 'till the end
And when will that be?

F.O.D (Fuck Off and Die)

Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trips boring me

Let's nuke the pridge we torched 2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've heard this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say...

Struck down in a rut
Of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
It's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun?

You're just a fuck
I can't explain it
'Cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die

I had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts
That I've passed to you
So listen up as you bite this

You're just a fuck
I can't explain it
'Cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Good niiiiiiiiiiiiight...

All By Myself (secret song)

I was alone
I was all by myself
No was looking
I was thinking of you
Yeah, did I mention
I was all by myself
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself

I went to your house
But no one was there
I went to your room
I was all by myself

You and me had
Such wonderful time
I was all by myself
All by myself...
