Tracks



01. Dying Breed

Round one, swear to God I do it for fun
Just a dead man walking with a double barrel shotgun
Ain't a single fucker left to fear
See their lips moving but I don't wanna hear

Showdown, I ain't backing down from anybody
Throw down, if I don't get some space
Lay down, not in this life or another
Deny me, if it's not your way

All I wanted was your honesty
Something more than this, something more than me
Death can take me if I can't be free
I'm not like you, I'm a dying breed

Round two, something you just don't wanna do
You're dancing with the devil if you wearing my shoes
You've got nerve and I'll give you that
Watch the world crumble while you sit on your ass

Wake up, get your head together motherfucker
Straight up before it's too late
Stand up, nothing ever lasts forever
Don't cry and that's how it's gonna stay

All I wanted was your honesty
Something more than this, something more than me
Death can take me if I can't be free
I'm not like you, I'm a dying breed

All I wanted was your honesty
Something more than this, more than me
Death can take me if I can't be free
I'm not like you, I'm a dying breed

02. Hard To See

I'm growing so disturbed
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
I'm learning to resist
Becoming more than you ever were

Can't explain what's come over me, come over me
Can't explain why it's so hard for me, so hard to see your side

Projecting all my anger
I can't seem to get this through to you
The walls are closing in
I dare you to walk in my shoes

Can't explain what's come over me, come over me
Can't explain why it's so hard for me, so hard to see your side

Your side
I won't see your side

Can't explain what's come over me, come over me
Can't explain why it's so hard for me, so hard to see your side

Can't explain what's come over me, come over me
Can't explain why it's so hard for me, so hard to see your side

I won't see your side
Your side

03. Bulletproof

You can take the money
You can take the ride
You can take it all but never get inside

You can't take my HONOR
You can't take my SOUL
You can't take the fact YOU'LL NEVER HAVE CONTROL!

YOU WON'T BREAK ME
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
YOU CAN'T SHAKE ME DOWN
I'M FUCKING BULLETPROOF!

All I've learned
IT'S LIKE POISON!
All I know
INSIDE MY VEINS!
All I've seen
IT'S LIKE VENOM!
All I know
IT'S ALL THAT REMAINS!

You can keep the fortune
You can have the fame
You can have the shit you never will obtain!

You can't take my VIRTUE
You can't take my PRIDE
You can't take the anger BUILDING UP INSIDE!

YOU WON'T BREAK ME
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
YOU CAN'T SHAKE ME DOWN
I'M FUCKING BULLETPROOF!

All I've learned
IT'S LIKE POISON!
All I know
INSIDE MY VEINS!
All I've seen
IT'S LIKE VENOM!
All I know
IT'S ALL THAT REMAINS!

YOU WON'T BREAK ME
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
YOU CAN'T SHAKE ME DOWN
I'M FUCKING BULLETPROOF!

All I've learned
IT'S LIKE POISON!
All I know
INSIDE MY VEINS!
All I've seen
IT'S LIKE VENOM!
All I know
IT'S ALL THAT REMAINS!

All I've learned
IT'S LIKE POISON!
All I know
INSIDE MY VEINS!
All I've seen
IT'S LIKE VENOM!
All I know
IT'S ALL THAT REMAINS!

04. No One Gets Left Behind

No one gets left behind, another fallen soul
No one gets left behind, another broken home
No one gets left behind, we stand and fight together
No one gets left behind but we all die alone

Politicians bathing in their greed
No idea on how to be all they can be

Have you no honor? Have you no soul?
What is it they're dying for do you really even know?
Have you no backbone? Have you no spine?
Whatever happened to no one gets left behind?

No one gets left behind, I know you made it up
No one gets left behind, it's war for money
No one gets left behind, drink from the golden cup
No one gets left behind, you're time is coming

Play your war games with other people's lives
It should be you on the frontline

Have you no honor? Have you no soul?
What is it they're dying for do you really even know?
Have you no backbone? Have you no spine?
What ever happened to no one gets left behind

Have you no honor? Have you no soul?
What is it they're dying for do you really even know?
Have you no backbone? Have you no spine?
Whatever happened to no one gets left behind?

No one gets left behind
No one gets left behind
No one gets left behind
No one gets left behind
No one gets left behind

05. Crossing Over

Perched alone he sits there broken
An elder man with storm clouds setting in his eyes
He counts the sands of time, remembering days gone by
It's seemed like yesterday before it washed away

Hey, don't wait for me there, just find your own way
Hey, don't wait for me there, 'cause I'll be there soon enough

A widows life ticks out like clock work
A thousand tears she's cried a hundred times before
But now that he is gone, she's ready to move on
It all just fell away, it seems like yesterday

Hey, don't wait for me there, just find your own way
Hey, don't wait for me there, 'cause I'll be there soon enough

I'll be there soon ENOUGH!

Hey, don't wait for me there, just find your own way
Hey, don't wait for me there, 'cause I'll be there soon enough

06. Burn It Down

You think you know me, you don't know shit
I've seen the world through your eyes and it makes me sick
I question all of your answers, they're fucking lies
I won't conform to your system, I'd rather die

I burn it down just to watch it go
I burn it down so everybody knows
I burn it down just to see it torched
Burn it down, I hate it to the core

You think you're a martyr, not hard to see
You wanna rule the fucking world, you've gotta get through me
Your iron fist will be broken, no soul to sell
You think I'll burn for my actions, see you in hell

Burn it down, I do it for myself
I burn it down for me and no one else
I burn it down just to watch it fall
I burn it down, I hate you fucking all

I burn it down just to watch it go
I burn it down so everybody knows
I burn it down just to see it torched
I burn it down, I hate it to the core

07. Far from Home

Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night's sands end as quickly as it goes
The memories are shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home

And it's almost like your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out

All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home

'Cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything to break me down
'Cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything to keep me out

'Cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything to break me down
'Cause it's almost like your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
To break me down, to break me down

Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down

08. Falling In Hate

Falling in hate with you
more and more everyday
falling away from this in every way
is it right is it wrong
you and I don't belong

Falling in hate nothing to say
don't want to hear you
falling away nothing to give no
falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
falling away nothing to live for

To you its a game to me its a joke
a mile to hang by with one inch of rope
is it wrong is it right
you and I day and night

Falling in hate nothing to say
don't want to hear you
falling away nothing to give no
falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
falling away nothing to live for

Despite what you think of me
and despite what you say
I gave you everything
and you threw it away

Falling in hate nothing to say
don't want to hear you
falling away nothing to give no
falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
falling away nothing to live for

09. My Own Hell

Twisting and turning, unable to sleep
Will the voices ever stop?
My thoughts speak louder the more I resist
And they're driving me insane, do they ever go?

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell

Losing the battle I waged on myself
Lock me up and toss the key
Toys in the attic, it's all getting worse
Why won't they let me be? Oh God, make it stop

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell

Fit me for a straight jacket
Put me in a padded cell
I'm a danger to you all
And I'm a danger to myself

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner in my own hell
My own hell

10. Walk Away

I'm sorry for the demon I've become
You should be sorry for the angel you are not
I apologize for the cruel things that I did
But I don't regret one single word I said

Just walk away, make it easy on yourself
Just walk away, please release me from this hell
Just walk away, there's just nothing left to feel
Just walk away, pretend that none of this is real

Forgive me if I told you that I cared
Would you be sorry if I swore that I'd be there?
Please forgive me for laughing when you fall
I'm so sorry but I never cared at all

Just walk away, make it easy on yourself
Just walk away, please release me from this hell
Just walk away, there's just nothing left to feel
Just walk away, pretend that none of this is, none of this is

Just walk away, make it easy on us both
Just walk away, there was never any hope
Just walk away, you already know the deal
Just walk away, pretend that none of this is was, none of this was real

12. Bad Company

A company always on the run
A destiny, oh it's the rising sun
I was born, a shotgun in my hands
Behind the gun I'll make my final stand
Yeah and that's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company until the day I die
Until the day I die, until the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we've been called
Chose a gun and threw away the sword
Now these towns, will they all know our name?
The Death Punch sound is our claim to fame
And that's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company until the day I die
Until the day I die, until the day I die
Until the day I die

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood, we've all gotta die
We've all gotta die

And that's why they call me

Bad company, I won't deny
Bad, bad company until the day I die

Bad company, I won't deny
Bad, bad company until the day I die
Until the day I die, until the day I die
Until the day I die, until the day I die

13. War Is The Answer

[Verse 1]
(GO!)
This aint a test, fuck the rest.
Time to set the record straight.
Talk your shit behind my back, let's hear you say it to my face?
I've heard the words roll out your lips.
You little trendy fuckin' bitch!
The time has come to get you some, cause I just do not give a shit.

[Chorus]
Do you take me for a fool!?
How's it feel to be a tool!?
See to me you're just a cancer!
Motherfucker!, War is the Answer!

[Verse 2]
As of now the end begins,I want to laugh but there's no joke.
To eat with the beast, and run with the wolves.
On the Ashes you must choke.
I know it's got to chap your ass, to think I just won't go away.
Forget me not, I'm writing you off.
I've got nothing more to say.

[Chorus]
Do you take me for a fool!?
How's it feel to be a tool!?
To me you're just a cancer!
Motherfucker!, War is the Answer!

[Bridge]
(Get some!)
You wanna disrespect me, you little fuckin' punk?
Everything I've done?, And who I am? As far as I've fuckin' come?
I'll slap you so fuckin' hard, It'll feel like you kissed a freight train.
Fuck you!

[Guitar Solo]

(Rawr!)

[Chorus]
(Burn!)
Do you take me for a fool!?
How's it feel to be a tool!?
Talking shit behind my back...
See to me you're just a cancer!
The time has come to get you some.
Motherfucker!, War is the Answer!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

15. Undone

Sometimes the things get so jaded
Still my heart slowly beats
Sometimes life gets complicated
Still the world around me sleeps

I'm ashamed, not to blame
Don't wanna think about it
Who I am, what I've done
How do I carry on?

Wanna change, turn the page
Don't wanna think about it
How do I undo what's done?
Undo what's done

Sometimes the things get so faded
How is it that you can't see?
Sometimes life seems overrated
Makes my heart slowly bleed

I'm ashamed, not to blame
Don't wanna think about it
Who I am, what I've done
How do I carry on?

Wanna change, turn the page
Don't wanna think about it
How do I undo what's done?
Undo what's done
Undo what's done

I'm ashamed, not to blame
Don't wanna think about it
Who I am, what I've done
How do I carry on?

Wanna change, turn the page
Don't wanna think about it
How do I undo what's done?

I'm ashamed, not to blame
Don't wanna think about it
Who I am, what I've done
How do I carry on?

Wanna change, turn the page
Don't wanna think about it
How do I undo what's done?
