- 1. This Is How It Goes
Lyrics
Everybody is tired
And poor and sick of trying
If you see me
On the corner
Will you stop or will you splash me
Take a look at
What we’ve become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family
On a post card
Picture perfect, I don’t want it
So I hold my breath ’til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can’t steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
Shitty weather, bad timing
Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger
Hope you get lost and you’re not found
Take a look at what we’ve become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I don’t want it
So I hold my breath ’til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can’t steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
So unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Turn ’em into, turn ’em into doubts
So I hold my breath ’til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can’t steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

- 2. Living In The Shadows
Lyrics
Constant quick fixes they don’t make no sense
Hop on bandwagons
You make me sick
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Distant loud chuckles they keep me awake
Awkward in stances
Won’t make you hip
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
We’ve said this all before, your shadows at the door
We’ve said this all before, your shadows at the door
There’s darkness in the hall and we won’t take the fall
We won’t take the fall
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows
Don’t you tell me, what you think is right
When your living in the shadows
I can tell that, you have lost your sight
When you’re living in the shadows

- 3. Try Honesty
Lyrics
I tripped, I fell down naked
I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes need no more
In our game there is no score
Forgive me father why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete’s sake
Cry agony, cry agony
I’m insane it’s your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small
Forgive me father, why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck
Reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheap skate, come on for Pete’s sake
Cry agony
Cry agony
I’m insane, it’s your fault, cry!
I’m insane, you’re so, sly!
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me.
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete’s sake
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony
Cry agony, cry agony

- 4. Line & Sinker
Lyrics
What you see is what you get (don’t you know)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don’t forget (don’t you know)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Today I don’t feel pretty
And I’m tired of trying to fit right in
Don’t think they’re just so great
Cause being great must suck
We don’t always see the bright side
We all need ego suicide
You hung my id today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So set ’em straight and finally say
What you see is what you get (don’t you know)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don’t forget (don’t you know)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Don’t make me feel like that
Cause that’s just plain not nice
We don’t always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slammed my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So set ’em straight and finally say
What you see is what you get (don’t you know)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don’t forget (don’t you know)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me
And now my fortune cookie’s empty
Cause you came and you stole it all from me
So set ’em straight and finally say
What you see is what you get (don’t you know)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don’t forget (don’t you know)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

- 5. Lies
Lyrics
False Conversation
Hidden agendum
You think we’re stupid, how dare you
The rug has not been pulled
Over our eyes you fool
We can see right through
Tip-toeing villain
Eyes in the ceiling
Your false intentions have warn thin
But we’ve been in your room and in your closet too
We’ve got one on you
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies you wake up to
Lies from the alter
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies
Inside an office, a fallen angel
A smilin’ buddah with snake eyes
Creates the latest trends
And i just can’t pretend
don’t call me your friend
When all these
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies you wake up to
Lies from the alter
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies they make it better
Lies they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies you wake up to
Lies from the alter
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies!
Lies will come back to haunt you
Bulletproof your limousine
Lies will come back to haunt you
Hit and run, a broken dream
Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies they make it better
Lies they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies you wake up to
Lies from the alter
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies

- 6. The Ex
Lyrics
Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
So I sat in my room for twenty seven days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!
I don’t know much and I don’t know how
Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I’m alone sitting on the corner
Well, I heard she’s great and her new boyfriend’s lame,
She can go to hell I’ll never be the same!
She can go to hell I’ll never be the same!
And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
I don’t know much and I don’t know how
Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I’m alone sitting on the corner

- 7. River Below
Lyrics
Rejected since day one
My name is bastard son
I’ve been damned so many times I’ve lost count
Blue collar, working man
Devises master-plan
Bipolar with a mental side arm
I’m sick and I’m twisted
I’m broken; you can’t fix it
Don’t make me ’cause I’ll do it
Red button and we’ll all go
Into the river below, running from the inferno
You’ll think I’m insane, but you’ll all know my name
Into the river below, running from the inferno
I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame
Contraption made of bones
Nuts and bolts creates the
New monster to burn your family tree down
Tick-tocking–time’s up now
Split second–the world frowns
Lonely heart–never had nobody
I’m sick and I’m twisted
I’m broken; you can’t fix it
Don’t make me ’cause I’ll do it
Red button and we’ll all go
Into the river below, I’m running from the inferno
You’ll think I’m insane, but you’ll all know my name
Into the river below, running from the inferno
I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame
I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below, I’m running from the inferno
You’ll think I’m insane, but you’ll all know my name
Into the river below, running from the inferno
I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame
Yeah, I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame

- 8. Standing In The Rain
Lyrics
My head, it hurts
Each day it’s getting worse
My looks and smile
Have now become my curse
Tight lips, red skirt
The never ending street
Big car, little man
My lover for a fee
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
My head it hurts
Each day its getting worse
No sun, my room
Has now become my hearse
Cold sores, I’m beat
Got bruises on my feet
My pride, these men
Have taken it from me
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ though my veins
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way

- 9. Cut The Curtains
Lyrics
Oh my girl
Your so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see
Ya we’ve got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission’s a mission on it’s own
The intermission’s a mission on it’s own
Now here seems our wax wings have melted away
And we’ve only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So don’t be a grey cloud when there’s none in the sky
We found there’s no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
Grab your suitcase we don’t have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don’t have time to fold
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
Grab your suitcase you don’t have time to fold
Grab your suitcase you don’t have time to fold
We don’t have no time to fold
We don’t have no time to fold
we don’t have no time to fold

- 10. Prisoners Of Today
Lyrics
I never bite off more than I could chew
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said don’t want to work I want to play and live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I’m a freak but
We’re breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay
A prisoner of today
My body’s tight my soul’s excited and I wish that I was gifted
My body’s tight my souls excited and I wish I had some spunk
I want to run I want to hide and leave this place Just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and that’s the truth but
We’re breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay a prisoner of today
No time for one another no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another
But this is our time this is our time this is our time and our place
History I history I history I can’t erase
This is our time this is our time this is our time and our place
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay a prisoner.

- 11. Nothing To Lose
Lyrics
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
Teach us that its just a phase
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
I know it put me under ground
At seventeen
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today

- 12. Voices Of Violence
Lyrics
Don’t wait for a knight in shinin’ armor
Your savior’s reflected in the mirror
These flowers have grown from blood stains on the ground
Go rake the leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is everyone bleeds when they shave
There’s no use, so don’t deny their just the same
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voice of violence, voices of violence
These cowboys will run off in the sunset
Once there toys have donned another profit
Back fire these smokin’ guns will never rest
Unleash the skeletons from the closet
These strangers like friends that you’ve never met
They’ll send them sympathies with a Hallmark card
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll still remember, I’ll still remember
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll still remember, I’ll still remember
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll come back for fighting, I’ll come back fighting!!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence

My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

Yeah, I’ll take all the blame, the front page, and the fame

- 20. Standing In The Rain [Live Session at Metalworks – Mississauga, Canada 2010]
Lyrics
My head, it hurts
Each day it’s getting worse
My looks and smile
Have now become my curse
Tight lips, red skirt
The never ending street
Big car, little man
My lover for a fee
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
My head it hurts
Each day its getting worse
No sun, my room
Has now become my hearse
Cold sores, I’m beat
Got bruises on my feet
My pride, these men
Have taken it from me
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ through my veins
So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And did you want me? Well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you?
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Milk carton mug-shot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops runnin’ though my veins
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way
Standing in the rain
Mother, I have lost my way

- 21. Cut The Curtains – Demo
Lyrics
Oh my girl
Your so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see
Ya we’ve got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission’s a mission on it’s own
The intermission’s a mission on it’s own
Now here seems our wax wings have melted away
And we’ve only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So don’t be a grey cloud when there’s none in the sky
We found there’s no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
Grab your suitcase we don’t have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don’t have time to fold
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
There is no doubt you throw your in box out
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains the actors have gone home
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
The intermission is a mission on it’s own
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
So dry your rain checks you can’t put time on them
Grab your suitcase you don’t have time to fold
Grab your suitcase you don’t have time to fold
We don’t have no time to fold
We don’t have no time to fold
we don’t have no time to fold

- 22. Prisoners Of Today – Demo
Lyrics
I never bite off more than I could chew
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said don’t want to work I want to play and live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I’m a freak but
We’re breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay
A prisoner of today
My body’s tight my soul’s excited and I wish that I was gifted
My body’s tight my souls excited and I wish I had some spunk
I want to run I want to hide and leave this place Just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and that’s the truth but
We’re breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay a prisoner of today
No time for one another no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another
But this is our time this is our time this is our time and our place
History I history I history I can’t erase
This is our time this is our time this is our time and our place
Were breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should I stay a prisoner.

- 23. Nothing To Lose – Live at Phillipshalle
Lyrics
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
Teach us that its just a phase
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
I know it put me under ground
At seventeen
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today

- 24. Voices Of Violence [Live at Norwegian Wood Festival – Oslo, Norway 2008]
Lyrics
Don’t wait for a knight in shinin’ armor
Your savior’s reflected in the mirror
These flowers have grown from blood stains on the ground
Go rake the leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is everyone bleeds when they shave
There’s no use, so don’t deny their just the same
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voice of violence, voices of violence
These cowboys will run off in the sunset
Once there toys have donned another profit
Back fire these smokin’ guns will never rest
Unleash the skeletons from the closet
These strangers like friends that you’ve never met
They’ll send them sympathies with a Hallmark card
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll still remember, I’ll still remember
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll still remember, I’ll still remember
Even after I’m dead and buried
I’ll come back for fighting, I’ll come back fighting!!
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We’ll take it back (broken dagger, southern swagger)
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence
