8. Way To Go

Everybody's watching, none of them I've ever met
Starring in the headlines no good news is death
Threats fly through the airmail, e-mail and express
Fax instructions for the bomb
A bone breaking game of chess

Starved and banged what a way to go
Slit wristed, run over and hanged
What a way to go

Pushed too far by numbers
Payments way past due
Additional tack on late charge
Who'll be screwing who

Screwed my head so tightly
Feels like it's gonna snap at the neck
If you're gonna cheat with your own cards
At least you could shuffle the deck

Starved and banged what a way to go
Slit wristed, run over and hanged
What a way to go

Starved and banged what a way to go
Slit wristed, run over and hanged
What a way to go

Sweat it out in walls that both my shoulders touch
If I hadn't lost everything else
My mind wouldn't matter so much
Backed up on a pay way, free way, blue lights closing fast
I was promised before my eyes
I'd see my life flashing past

Starved and banged what a way to go
Slit wristed, run over and hanged
What a way to go

Starved and banged what a way to go
Slit wristed, run over and hanged
What a way to go

9. Win, Lose Or Dead

Pouring bones from a skull salt shaker
Squaring off all pro mistakers
High stakes diets that used to be a face
Now we've seen there's two dark sides to this race

Heaven's flippin for dinner
Dying to be thin
Make the weight to run and die again

Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead
Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead

Hard to give up
What took lifetimes to achieve
Watching horses die toasting in bubbly grieve
Every race a run right for their lives
Broken, dragged and bleeding
The winners cross the line

Why eat can't keep nothing down but spirits
Screaming at the top of lungs
Too soaked to hear it

Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead
Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead

Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead
Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead

What's making you run through a wet track
Running in circles you'll never make it back
All your fans won't love you if you don't win
You never think about after
Till after you begin

Pick a number, play it once again
Thank you very much, come back again

Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead
Numbers on your back and numbers on your head
Numbers in your mind add up to
Win, lose or dead

Win, lose or dead
Win, lose or dead

10. Welcome To The Bottom

Lived to live through a lie
Lived and lied to buy some time
Hit the bottom ready to shine
On this tattooed cross we'll die

Alone to question, wonder why
Welcome to the bottom of your life

Here before me I can see
Here at the bottom I'll stay
I just couldn't leave here anyway

Black insides a lovely mess
This masked deception I detest
Forgive me father I have sinned
All alone welcome to the bottom again

Your soul hangs upon the line
Existence dares to decline

Here before me I can't see
Here at the bottom I'll stay
I just couldn't leave here anyway
Light becomes my enemy
My home an early grave
And I still won't leave here anyway

Here before me I can't see
Here at the bottom I'll stay
I just couldn't leave here anyway
Light becomes my enemy
My home an early grave
And I still won't leave here anyway

1. Dig Me Up To Bury Me

I'm digging way in deeper
Way faster than ever before
I'm dug in way in deeper
Way deeper than ever before
I'm flying, I'm sky highing
I'm in pain but I'm not dying
I'm digging way in deeper
Way deeper than ever before

Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up, dig me up
Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up

I'm beating my own best time
Way faster than ever before
I'm digging way in deeper
Way deeper than ever before
With my eyes open real wide
I'll dig me up a place to hide
Digging way in deeper
Way deeper than ever before

Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up, dig me up
Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up, dig me deeper

Money taking, bone breaking
No lending, extreme spending
Stock broker, pot smoker
Wife beater, dope dealer
My head's bleeding, my heart's frozen
Way down deeper than ever before
Way down deeper than ever before
Way down deeper than ever before

Dig me up
Dig me up one more time
Dig me up, dig me up

Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up, dig, dig
Dig me up
Dig me up to bury me
Dig me up, dig me up

Money taking, bone breaking
No lending, extreme spending
Stock broker, pot smoker
Wife beater, dope dealer
My head's bleeding, my heart's frozen
Way down deeper than ever before
Way down deeper than ever before
Way down deeper than ever

2. Keep Breathing

I see the tracers it leaves in the sky
A racing stripe canopy for your eye
I see it dying fast right through the floor
An aftershock of filth and gore

We try our best to just keep control
Just to keep breathing
Is reaching a goal

I can see now how fast it really grows
I see God's face with a bloody nose
Unbelievable to you and me
Yet easier all the time to see

We try our best to not lose our minds
Just to keep breathing is wasting our time
We try our best to gain control
Just to keep living is taking it's toll

It doesn't take a scientist
To really comprehend the gist
That everyday we all decide
To slowly commit suicide
And there is no hotline to call
No saviour coming to get us all
I can't fathom how it happened so fast
How bad we were beaten
Floored and harassed

One does move the floor,
Two can make the walls take a breath,
Three will let the ceiling cry,
Four the pictures all bleed to death,
I have taken five,
It's a wonder I'm still alive,
Then I'm popping ten,
To see if I can die and come back again!

3. Nothing To Say

Walking through life with blinders on
Trying not to get too deep in the wrong
With all the peer pressure that they advertise
It's a full time chore to hold back my demise
Everybody telling me what to do
As if everybody knows
There's a fork in the road with a million prongs
And six little nines that I know are wrong

I ain't got
I ain't got nothing to say

Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three hundred times
I've tried really hard to make this rhyme
But it's constant help from the people who know
Make it tougher than it has to be
Every single day I try to get things done
I'm either stopped by the cold or burnt by the sun
There is no easy way to speak your mind
And even harder to get them to hear

I ain't got
I ain't got nothing to say

Every little piece of fantasy
Keeps me right where they want me to be
There's a code that they're all searching by
A map of places I might hide
It's dark with a couple of marker lights
All of my hunters are afraid of heights
There's a well known fact that they don't know
They're chasing a man not on the go

I ain't got
I ain't got nothing to say

4. Weather To Do

They say that mental deficiency
Is wind in your mind
And if that's true
Then I'm brewing hurricanes all of the time

There are not too many places
I can speak my mind
There are not too many people
Who would give me the time
There are not too many answers I can find
So I just start running

And when I come into the picture
There ain't nothing else you see
Just fear, anger and jealousy
Cause you can't be
You don't wanna be me
Well I'm not quite right in the head
And if you fuck with me
You wind up dead
There is no weathervane
To tell when I'm coming down
If you feel the calm
You'd better just start running

There are not too many places
I can speak my mind
There are not too many people
Who would give me the time
There are not too many answers I can find
So I just start running

Whenever I see a storm coming down
Every time that lightning hits the ground
A blizzard in the summertime
Don't let the pressure fog your mind

There are not too many places
I can speak my mind
There are not too many people
Who would give me the time
There are not too many answers I can find
So I just start running

Whenever I see a storm coming down
Every time that lightning hits the ground
A blizzard in the summertime
Don't let the pressure fog your mind

There are not too many places
I can speak my mind
There are not too many people
Who would give me the time
There are not too many answers I can find
So I just start running

5. Camera Eye

You'd better hope your only choice is to die
Being watched awfully close by the camera eye
The name that you use may not be yours
But the time that you serve will be
So you pull out a gun without stopping to think
And now the tips of your fingers are all covered with ink
And now you know there's never gonna be a time
When you're not being watched by the camera eye

Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye
Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye

I hope you need that shirt real fuckin bad
The fifty dollar skirt with the trim in plaid
Cause everyone knows, everyone can see
That you think everything's yours for free
But the old lady next to you is not a shopper
A fifty year old undercover male cop
You try to give your spiel, try to run with a lie
But you've just been busted by the camera eye

Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye
Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye

Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe you'll be caught
They slap you on the wrist hoping you'll be taught
But the fact of the matter is you're a thief
And you got no morals and you got no beliefs
You're an addict, you're a druggie
You're a drunk and a boozer
To sum it all up you're a big fuckin loser
And now you know there's never gonna be a time
When you're not being watched by the camera eye

Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye
Always watching you
Knowing what you do
Always watching you
Camera eye

6. Trash

The downhill slope I'm standing on is starting to hurt my feet
My neck gets stiff from staring up at the world
I'd show you all my self esteem
But I lost it somewhere down the road

Why is it everywhere I stand
Is a foot shorter than the space next to me
I can't see the action due to the crowd
There is never a horizon in my view

Like walking through knee high water
My steps through life are slow and hard
And I never seem to get all the way to shore
The longer I stand, the deeper I sink

Why is it everywhere I stand
Is a foot shorter than the space next to me
I can't see the action due to the crowd
There is never a horizon in my view

I don't know if I'm down in the dumps
But it sure smells like
Trash to me
I don't know if I'm down in the dumps
But it sure smells like
Trash to me

Why is it everywhere I stand
Is a foot shorter than the space next to me
I can't see the action due to the crowd
There is never a horizon in my view

I don't know if I'm down in the dumps
But it sure smells like
Trash to me
I don't know if I'm down in the dumps
But it sure smells like
Trash to me
I don't know if I'm down in the dumps
But it sure smells like
Trash to me
