Dead Queen

I’m looking for a better way
I’m begging for your sympathies
Can you contain me
I don’t recognize a single line along your face
I just can’t get over my feelings for this place
CHORUS
Dead Scene, No Queen
You’ll never keep this city clean
Dead Scene, No Queen
You’ll never keep this city clean
I give something
You will need
Blood is pumping
Through my Dead Queen
Take the party to the record room
Stop the world from crashing through
I’m entertaining
Stars are looking bright tonight
Out of body and out of mind
Get up and flip that record side
Hey man,
When’s your set
Hey man,
Where's yourself
CHORUS
Dead Scene No Queen
I pretty quickly made it clear
I get crazy when I feel your energy
Dead Scene No Queen
I come from where I’ve been
Rise up make love
Do everything above
I eat pussy
I eat ass
I drink liquor
I smoke grass
I’m looking for a better way I’m begging for your sympathies
You can't contain me
I'm down and I’m out
I’m losing ground
I’ve lost it all
Stakes of these streets that might fall
I’ve been looking forward to nothing
More than coming down town
We eat pussy
We eat ass
We drink liquor
We smoke grass

Nobody Knows
03:22
|

Nobody knows you’re the only one I told
I hope you can keep a secret
I’m hounding at your door pounding
Lord knows I need it
Making fake friends just to make ends
Trying to get by
Nobody knows the feelings of the low
When you’re trying to stay high
Sweet serenity
I can’t fight when the night
Comes calling me
Sweet serenity
I can’t fight when the night
Comes calling me yeah
It’s dark at the bottom staring up the barrel
Of a loaded gun
One more door and one more score
One more sleepless night
One more sleepless night
One more sleepless night
Sweet serenity
I can’t fight when the night
Comes calling me
Sweet serenity
I can’t fight when the night
Comes calling me yeah
Everyday you’re running
But you can’t escape the grave
Nobody knows when it’s time
Nobody knows when it’s time to die

All I feel is the shadow of death
Quarter day now gone
Slipped one down and we're moving along
There is no joy feeding my disease
Cow, a wife, rotten milk for cheese
On the drink through the day
Set the stage of a horror play
What I've done to my wife
From screaming matches through the night
Our minds from last night
Our husks from this plight
Holding back thoughts what I'll do
The drip grips better than any man ever has a hope of slipping away
Three lives taken the addict forsaken for what I've done I am not this man
So part of routine it’s boiling green now part of his soul in possession
Losing touch with the world was all he could control
The last words spoken left love broken across his trembling hands pleading mercy
Liquid muse to blame, like a cube to the flame, this man has melted away
His life (consuming everything)
Holy God (consuming everything)
The drink (consuming everything)
His life on the brink, Holy God to be seen, The drink is consuming everything
All I see is the smile of death, shining down upon me
All a man can do now is smile back
His life (consuming everything)
Holy God (consuming everything)
The drink (consuming everything)
His life on the brink, Holy God to be seen, The drink is consuming everything

Call of the Void
03:02
|
|||
|
For a moment
I dare to contemplate
Out of my body
A different mental state
I found euphoria
Upon a ledge you see
As I imagine the possibilities
My thoughts they are of violence
I hear the twisted call of the void
More than paranoid a scream in silence
I hear the twisted call of the void
The gate is swinging open and closed onto the other side
Will I have the courage to go into the blinding light
A severed instinct
No logic can explain
It’s no vacation
Self depri-capitation
My thoughts they are of violence
I hear the twisted call of the void
More than paranoid a scream in silence
I hear the twisted call of the void

On Earth or In Hell
03:46
|
|||
|
Taken from everything they knew and taken to
Strange territory and cruelty
Horrific conditions atrocity hidden away from our history
It’s hard to believe
The evidence unearthed for all us to see
But we can’t deny the loss of their lives
Back in 1870 to well past 1995
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both
Here and now new graves are discovered everyday
Underneath institutions of pain
Buried when life has been stripped away
Left and forgotten until today
I can’t comprehend the reasons to put all those lives to an end
In the ways they did with malicious intent
Torture and rape used as regular consequence
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both
Recognize, remember every 30th of September
We reflect in solemn fashion we pay respect to all the victims of their neglect
Despicable actions a culture wrecked we can’t forgive and we won’t forget
I still can’t believe this took place for over a century
And the shame the guilt for the blood that was spilt goddamn the motherfucking government who passed the bill
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both

The Hard Way
03:37
|

Superstition your mind’s ambition
To counter scientific position
Misinformed brain deformed
Suffer public scorn, unleashed and reborn
With one quip
Hit quick
Screaming on the ground
Who did this
Living life is so nice
Self assured it feels so right
There is no end to your nonsense in sight
They will find out
They were wrong
All along
The Hard Way
Truths dismissed by their side
Ridicule facts celebrate lies
There is no end to your nonsense in sight
They will find out
They were wrong
All along
The Hard Way
Chaos hits
Like teeth on brick
Superstition you damned the mission
To advocate your faulty position
Vision quest, or white vest
Limitations of patience are torn to shreds
Skewered on the spit
Never admit
Misinformed they were warned
To listen
And now it's clear
They will find out
They were wrong
All along
The Hard Way
Who did this?

Essentially Fucked
04:54
|

I know your time is short at hand
Now you’re sleeping wide awake
One blink you slip away
And then it’s time again
You hit a wall at a quarter to three
The air is thicker in the NGZ
The solitary drive a short reprieve
From the sun that never sets on EST
Here come seventeen wheels to crush your neck
Another man supplanted by a replicant
Set forward by the rolling boulder
Of industry to maul you over
I hear the rolling gears
Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked
From the panic stricken daydream rush
To the old haunts looking like a Sunday dusk
All fear the unspoken certainty
The invisible enemy
Stripped down, rusting Idle, while all the aristocrats ensure their survival
In days I lost the years
Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked
Their gains are made but life's the same for me
My seeds won’t grow like the NYSE
Here come 17 years to fill your head
Brought forward when you’re one year older
This industry will fuck you over
We are essentially fucked
Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked

Twisted Past
06:06

Skin is cold and eyes are wide
As your memories come in the night
Treading on your conscious life
Coming on at any time
Now for years it’s had a hold
Getting older, so it grows
Tipping mental harmony
Get to know the inner me
Told no one
Twisted past
Facing fear
I won’t be it’s slave
Looking out those twisted eyes
Think of what you try to hide
So imposed to turn away
Have that feeling in the brain
Vivid thoughts run up your knee
Visions surpass fantasy
Something real in human mind
Moving through in serpentine
Told no one
Twisted past
Facing fear
I won’t be it’s slave
Skin is cold and eyes are wide
As your demons come back at night
Mental growth of agony
Slowly came a part of me
Overcoming what has passed
Not a victim to its grasp
Tipping mental harmony
Redefine my sanity
Told no one
Twisted past
Facing fear
I won’t be it’s slave
