Laced

I've grown tired of this emptiness So, deeper and deeper I dig into the dark I'm searching for tools to patch me up But the more I find, the more I'm torn apart Constrain it, let the subjects meld Like a mad disease, the newborns divide All the walls have come crashing down So ball 'em up and shove 'em back inside Crack the shell and let the truth emerge Strain the brain, make it comprehend Breathe new life into breathless lungs And spread the word, it's time to rise again Feel it Can you feel it grow now? Feel it Does it multiply? Feel it Change is comin' soon Butterfly You wanna fly? Open your arms and let me in I wanna spread new wings, wanna shed this skin To resurrect and reunite the kin I wanna spread new wings, wanna spread new wings Butterfly, open your mind Open your eyes Prepare your senses as the sound excels The next generation of angst unveiled It spreads like cancer through the jaded cells Infect me, let me crash and bleed I can feel the sickness flowing through my veins Down the system and attack the seed Hey, you can have my pleasure if you'll take my pain Lifeless eyes, can you see through plastic? Like fuckin' myself when my hands are cold Dedication's never been the problem But you see the words and I'm as hard as stone Now I see the clock reverse, don't you know? The pain gets worse the further back you go Your own regret's gonna swallow you whole Now brace yourself, come on, brace yourself Open your arms and let me in I wanna spread new wings, wanna shed this skin To resurrect and reunite the kin I wanna spread new wings, wanna spread new wings Why don't you open your arms? Why don't you let me in? Give up your past, and let's start this thing Jesus Christ, rip yourself from the cross My patience with you has been my life's greatest loss I'm tired of waiting, nobody cares Can you hear me now? Are you even there? I can see the surface, I can see the light I can see it shining through your eyes tonight I can see the silhouette of Seraphim And I can see myself spreading my own wings Tear off my garments and bury my face Whatever it takes to get out of this place Whatever it takes, I'll hide what's inside Hell, I'd sell my own soul for a piece of the pride Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly Open your arms and let me in Heal away my scars, wash away my sin Spread those wings, spread your wings and fly A little butterfly, I'd like to see you try Now open your arms and let me in Come on, take my hand And let's start this thing

Your money isn't power, so forget your green It's just feeding fuel to the control machine What makes the world go round? The same that lights the flame to burn it down It's a capitol brainwash, you must avouch Call it your "purse", more like a suicide pouch Paper ain't a means to pacify When your wisdom is your wallet, you can kiss your ass goodbye Rectify, living policy is shit And all its lies got you chokin' on your own spit The seam has split, so spit I'll swallow But your lead, I'll never follow And you can wallow in your own chaotic world A puzzle pieced by your imperfections Your own sunshine-y world A puzzle pieced by your imperfections Close your eyes Seal your lips, walk in fear Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Close your eyes Seal your lips, walk in fear Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Your fucking trophies Your sexual treasures Just hide the pain beneath your simple pleasures Desperate measures for desperate times Searching for answers they won't let you find It seeks to bind, but steals tomorrow Sucked into your sympathetic sorrow Your heart is hollow, your mind is fried Soul is void, flatlines will never lie Rectify, living policy is shit And all its lies got you chokin' on your own spit The seam has split, so spit I'll swallow But your lead, I'll never follow And you can wallow in your own chaotic world A puzzle pieced by your imperfections Your own sunshine-y world A puzzle pieced by your imperfections Yeah Yeah Yeah Close your eyes Seal your lips, walk in fear Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Close your eyes Seal your lips, walk in fear Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Can you hear what I hear? Can you hear what I hear? Can you hear what I hear? Can you hear what I hear? Yeah! Close your eyes Seal your lips, walk in fear Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Despite your actions, I will persevere Now do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear? Hate, rage, greed, sin Ripples in the water, wrinkles in the skin Our own little perfect world A puzzle pieced by our imperfections We see no evil and we hear no evil We see no evil and we hear no evil We see no evil and we hear no evil We see no evil and we hear no evil We're all just victims of a perfect world We're all just victims of a perfect world We're all just victims of a perfect world We're all just victims of a perfect world We're all just victims of a perfect world We're all just victims of a perfect world Yeah!

Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder! Funky! Rape me of my innocence Amidst these cold and rainy days There's so much hate beneath the sky My inspiration's all washed away So tie me down and cut me up And pour my blood upon the Earth No helpful hands to hold me up And I could give a fuck for all that it's worth Breathe in, breathe out but take a closer look Because your life is laced, and now it's got you hooked The hunter's become the hunted When it rains, it pours An instinctive push, you better lock your doors Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around, tell me what you see It's upside down, skewed permanently Take a look around, tell me what you find Just an empty search through a foreign kind I'm sickened by this odious scent Gently drifting on the breeze A wave of lust turning love to dust And now we all fall to our knees So cut me down and turn me loose And spill my thoughts upon the page A hopeless attempt to redefine Between our skyline and the Seventh Stage Breathe in, breathe out but take a closer look Because your life is laced, and now it's got you hooked The hunter's become the hunted When it rains, it pours An instinctive push, you better lock your doors Take a look around *scratches* Take a look around *scratches* Take a look around *scratches* Take a look around *scratches* Take a look around, tell me what you see It's upside down, skewed permanently Take a look around, tell me what you find Just an empty search through a foreign kind Tell me what you see (Take a closer look) Tell me what you find (Take a closer look) Tell me what you feel (Take a closer look) Close up (Close up) *scratches* Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Take a look around Line 'em up! *sample* It's permanent Permanent! (Get on or get off, give up or give in) You better check your source You better lock your doors And take a closer look Because the choice is yours Get on or get off, give up or give in Get on or get off, give up or give in Get on or get off, give up or give in Get on or get off, take a look around!

The phoenix, no longer a myth So strike a match and watch it burn Our destination's rigor mortise 'Cause nobody listens and nobody learns And your world rejects my kind And those words have lost their touch And this place has lost its mind So now I wanna burn it up Humility, is based on trust But ignorance and arrogance rule the grounds So ashes to ashes and dust to dust And now I wanna burn this whole place down Leashed, cuffed, locked and hooked Blow it down, tear it down, burn it down Blackmail come take it to a whole new level Motherfucker, I can't wait till I can watch you drown And you place our trust in you Reassure us that we're not to blame But the tables turn and we're the first to burn Now I could never look at you the same So take your word and shove it Come take your deal and shove it Just take the lie and shove it I know what you really are The school in which we learn Is the fire in which we'll burn The school in which we learn Is the fire in which we will burn

Yo, I gotta maintain 'Cause I don't need your help I know my motherfuckin' name Untie me Who's side are you on anyway? Untie me Bring the hours, bring the pressure It's all about findin' my predecessor I'm a second-guesser, I'm a pessimist Call me extreme? More like a humanist Wanna get with this, try to sell me clothes And then capture my image with the perfect pose So you can stamp it, sell it, steal my fate But I'm the one you don't see comin' till it's too late Untie me Who's side are you on anyway? Untie me Who's side are you on anyway Oh shit! Snappin' photos, dealin' green It's all about livin' in some other man's dream Can I handle the truth when the moment comes? Can I stand the heat under the sun? The sun is bright but not pure like rain And I long for back when that was in my veins It was all so clear what it was all about Just make a statement and never sell out Untied Untied Untied Untied

A wooden cross, an angel's bed Decked with nails, and strewn in red An empty garden, our dooming fate Which day by day, we tolerate A ruined world, a gaping hole And a prayer for God to save our souls Huh! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! A glimmer of hope is lost in time Now was it mindless lust or thoughtless crime? Mother's fate in a child's eyes Now the innocent crumble under burning skies The mind's gone blind, for those who could see Now gently swing from the gallow's tree Huh! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! Wake up! Rise and shine! Wake up! 'Bout fuckin' time! Tack me up, and crucify me Now tack me up, and crucify me Now tack me up, and crucify me Now tack me up, come on, wake me up! Sin, jealousy, lies, anger Wanna try to fuck with it? Spin the chamber! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise and blind

Gotta learn to practice what you preach Traitor! Can't understand? Guess I'll paraphrase Now allow this spark to set the mic ablaze 'Cause all my rage just builds inside (Till there's no place to run and no place to hide!) Now I gotta revive, gotta resurrect 'Cause we can't survive without the intellect Checked in retrospect, what's ahead looks bleak Take away my name, send me up the creek Don't attempt to repent, you had your chance The mask is on, you're in the blind man's dance You gave me your word, you lying hypocrite, fuck you! Hypocrite! Fuck you! Yeah! Wake up, wake up It's your wakeup call Now the imperious leaders of our Heavens fall We gotta drop the bomb on the gates below (Because what you reap is what they'll sow!) You gotta let 'em know, gotta make them pay It's the hate upon which he'll pray Now I'm breaking away, 'cause I figured you out So now your number's up but you don't count me out You had your chance, lost your chance Now that I see you're in the blind man's dance You gave me your word, you lying hypocrite, fuck you! Hypocrite! Come on! Bring that bass in! Gotta learn to practice what you preach Gotta learn to practice what you preach Gotta learn to practice what you preach Gotta learn to practice what you preach Gotta learn to practice what you preach Gotta learn to practice what you preach Yeah! You welcome me with warmful hands You build me up just to break me down A tear collects and forms deep within Now trapped inside, I gladly drown A drop of water turned to ice Your satisfaction at my expense Now at my timely sacrifice The truth upon my dying breath Judas Judas Judas Judas Judas Beneath your eyes lie the mind of a hypocrite Beneath your eyes lie the mind of a hypocrite Beneath your eyes lie the mind of a hypocrite Beneath your mind Judas!

Get me out of here Get me out of here You used to be someone I could trust But all of that didn't last too long I don't know what I believe anymore God, where the hell did we go wrong? Your silence shatters my sense of hope How could this happen? What did I miss? My whole world's falling down around me God, how could you desert me at a time like this? Come on I'm not perfect, nobody's perfect But what the fuck was I supposed to do? I'm washing my hands I'm cleansing my soul Now all I had will die with you So bury that good and let that shit rot 'Cause if your only question's "What's in it for me?" Well then you might as well gouge out your own fucking eyes For there are none so blind as those who will not see Come on Flesh for food and blood for wine Because some scars won't heal with time Flesh for food and blood for wine Because my scars don't heal with time Flesh for food and blood for wine And all my love was left behind Put your money where your mouth is Yeah Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here (Everything I touch) Get me out of here (Everything I touch) Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Flesh for food and blood for wine Flesh for food and blood for wine Flesh for food and blood for wine We're just flesh and blood Never divine

You broke me up You broke me up You broke me up You broke me up You broke me up You broke me up You broke me up Now it's my turn Everday people are preyed upon Some fight, some fold, others play along But it's not another story off the evening news Not just a statistic the warnings use Seventeen years and a dose of reality Two years back, still seems like yesterday Raped, tortured, robbed of pride Innocence lost, torn from inside So I step aside, let life run its course A handful of predators driven by a darker force And there's nothin' I could do I thought I knew you Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into me Heel, feel, wanna make you squeal It's payback time, though it hurts to repeal 'Cause I've tried so hard to make it stop But it lurks in my dreams, lingers in my thought I couldn't talk, they wouldn't respect me So I told myself that it didn't effect me But it does, it hurts so much Now the mask is on, I've grown numb to touch Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into reason and Feel Come into me! I want you to hurt like I still do You've taken somethin' that you can't replace I want the pain to come rolling through I wanna see it rolling down your face I want you to hurt I want you to hurt I want you to hurt like me 'Cause time can only heal so much Time can only heal so much Time can only heal so much Now the mask is on, I've grown numb to touch Yeah!

These bare walls hold a familiar theme And it's my home, and happy Hell The pain I've seen within this empty dream Locked and barred inside myself Caged and leashed and smothered in fear So, round and round the chamber spins You can sink or swim in a sea of tears But the walls keep closing in In the aftertaste! In the aftertaste! In the aftertaste! Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Disobey and it's the back of the fist Raped and tortured from the inside With my dignity lost in every hit Had to be somethin', I had to be someone But I'm overcome by my own self-doubt Now where's my freedom? Where's my life? Where's my God? Where's my way out? Yeah! In the aftertaste! In the aftertaste! In the aftertaste! Yeah! It's so dark inside I can't breathe inside I can't move inside And I fade away

Yeah We about to twist this shit up right here (As we cross over into a new millennium) It might be too strong for some So I suggest you motherfuckers buckle the fuck up See what I'm sayin'? (Where you gonna hide? Hah!) Racks to rags How does the stone turn to static? It's tragic, drop 'em like a bad force of habit Not dramatic, traumatic Got me turnin' in my sleep Pencil pushin' putos, motherfuck critiques No defeat, compete Never sleep and never will And just like da Real, I've entered my time to kill Climbin' in the ring, I'm gonna wear away the doubt 'Cause if I dug my own grave, then I can dig myself out Come on, come on! Check it, check it Takers, fakers, barrel-bottom scrapers Separatin' family from those phony money-makers Papers, stuffed, rolled and laced with a lesson Vapors graced, so aftertaste is faced with a confession End of session, blastin' first impressions Stressin', thinkin' twice Blamin' my aggression on some other world's advice Slice, split, splice, pay the price that it brings But I can stand on my own I don't need your strings I'm not fuckin' split I'm comin' out swingin' So heads be spinnin' Bringin' on the shit to keep their eardrums ringin' I'm comin' out swingin' With ties unstringin' Splittin' up the frame for a whole new beginnin' (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) I'm comin' out swingin' (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) (Cannot be controlled.) I've told too many lies, built too many walls Broken too many hearts, shed too many tears Burned too many bridges, taken too many falls Buried too many friends, I've buried too many fears Shit's pumpin' Bodies are jumpin' Waitin' for somethin' or somebody Up in the party to get the head bumpin' Split it up, hit it up, but get it up While I set it up, causin' confusion We wet it up From the drum tracks, guitar strum and high strung and fine tuned The time is soon, so let it hum from the power lung Time will come to make it happen Over the bothersome bitches who wanna jack it up Track it up, pick it up, you better stick it up Dump shit all over the table, you gotta lick it up I'm comin' out swingin' So heads just spinnin' Bringin' on the shit to keep the eardrums ringin' I'm comin' out swingin' With ties unstringin' Splittin' up the frame for a whole new beginnin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out swingin' I'm comin' out I'm comin' out Motherfucker Split! Family feuds and family ties Now you can sew them shut, but I see through your eyes (Track it up, pick it up) Through the surface, through the lies And through your ability to hypnotize Now my road is split and I can see no ends I've got angel's wings mixed with plastic friends I got two paths to choose and I can't decide Too little, too late, two worlds divide And our worlds divide And our worlds divide And our worlds divide So better choose your side Split! And our worlds divide And our worlds divide And our worlds divide And our worlds divide
