7. I Feel Your Pain And I Survive

[Rocky George/Mike Muir]

Survive
You can not stand a single word I say
But you manage to hear every word anyway
Your eyes they always seem to be fixed on me
But not for love but for money

[CHORUS]
You say nothing yet I still hear
I am the thing that you most fear
I cause the pain deep in your heart
O, how I love to tear your world apart
Well I feel your pain and I survive
And I survive

I see your anger, I can hardly wait
How it feels so good to cause you such hate
Tried to ignore me. Thought I'd go away
But I'm back for good. I'm here to stay

[CHORUS]

You thought that you could get the best of me
To put me down, it seemed, so easily
I take such pride in the work I do
You hoped I'd fail but I'm not like you

[CHORUS]

I feel your pain so I survive

8. Possessed To Skate

[Louiche/Mike Muir]

Let's skate!

Seemed like such an innocent toy
He was the All-American boy
Got a skate at eight years old
Now the story can be told

Beware he's possessed to skate!

Skating takes him up in height
He's a pilot on a modern flight
See him flying through the air
If he don't land then he don't care

[CHORUS]
Cause he rips-he rips
When he skates-he skates
Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator ain't got no fears
So skate

He shoots the pool like a launching pad
If it ain't insane then you can't get rad
Skating is all that's on his mind
He's skating radical all the time

[CHORUS]

Beware he's possessed to skate!

Looks like a magic carpet ride
Six foot airiels inverts backside
Optical illusion it must be
He redefines insanity

[CHORUS]

Doesn't understand why you'd wanna walk
Ain't got time to sit and talk
Used to be just like you and me
Now he's an outcast of society

Beware he's possessed to skate!

And the skating's getting radical

9. No Name, No Words

[Louiche/Mike Muir]

I close my eyes, yet I still see
I can not hide from what's inside of me
I hear my thoughts, but they're not clear
And now I tremble with fear

[CHORUS]
No one can tell me what's sane
You see the tears I cry
But you can't feel my pain
No title can classify me
I'm a person with feelings
A number I refuse to be

Don't try to live my life
You cannot talk for me
Now I'm on the brink, brink of insanity

Sometimes I stare into space
I try to think about another place
Where happiness I'll see
I'll find a place for me and find some sanity

Sometimes I look at you
And I wonder what will I do
Will my mind stay intact
How will I react, will I do any harm to you

Open my eyes, but I can't see
Maybe the hatred has blinded me
There's not a sound, yet I still hear
Now the pain is so clear

[CHORUS]

Sometimes I stop to think
Or maybe my thinking just stops
Doesn't matter anyway
No one hears what I say, I'm on the brink of insanity

Well I know him but not his name
In everyone, yet not the same
Play with the cards i'm dealt, worse I never felt
I'm playing a sick man's game

10. Cyco

Cyco cyco cyco cyco
Cyco cyco cyco cyco
Born cyco it's the way I was meant to be
Live cyco it's the only life for me

Burning burning burning burning
Burning burning burning burning
Burning up can't you see
But it's the only life for me

I'm burning up, the fire blazes inside
Out of control, so now you better hide
Run around the corner
But the corner never ends
You scream out, beg, shout
But the nightmare never ends
You turn around but you just see
What you saw before
Spin around, fall down
Now you see no more

Raging raging raging raging
Raging raging raging raging
Raging mad that may be
But it's the only life for me

I'm raging mad and soon you will know
I'm burning up from my head to toe

Cyco cyco cyco cyco
Cyco cyco cyco cyco
It's the only life I know
I was born to cyco

I'm cyco and my mind it starts to bend
Out of control, it seems to be the trend

Born to be cyco

11. Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right (But They Make Me Feel A Whole Lot Better)

[Rocky George/Mike Muir]

Welcome to the year of the cyco
It's been a long, long wait
Welcome to a modern blitzkrieg
With peace, I can't relate
Welcome to death now you'll love it
Once in a lifetime treat
Say goodbye to peace and order
You and my terror will meet

My best friend is misery
My girlfriend is insanity
My father is revenge

My love for you I must confess
With my knife you passed the test
I'll love you till the end

Evacuation of my mind
In my body no heart you'll find
Where there's death I lurk

Empty stare incoherent
Screams of pain, love to hear it
Take pride in my work

They say two wrongs don't make a right
Well maybe that is true
But I can't describe the feeling I get
When I take revenge on you

Forgiveness is the key to destruction
But you can't open my door
Repentance, you're indecision
I hesitate no more
Tradition is the root of all evil
So now I water the tree
Salvation, an all-time sentence
So now I walk away free

Two wrongs don't make a right
But they make me feel a whole lot better

12. Looking In Your Eyes

[Louiche/Mike Muir]

I see destruction as it rages through your veins
I see depression as it fills your heart with pain
I see the cure you found, your artificial peace
I see your body rot, your solution now has it's feast

And now I look, I look in your eyes
Looking in your eyes
Looking in your eyes
Looking in your eyes
Looking in your eyes

What I see in your eyes
I can see, they tell no lies
Looking in your eyes

I see salvation oh so close, but yet so far
I see the gilmmering of the holy star
I see your future, it's a nightmare and I lie
But you refused my help, now I have no more strength to try

Now I see, I see the lies
Looking in your eyes
In your eyes I see the lies

What I see in your eyes
I can see, you tell no lies
Looking in your eyes

Looking through my eyes

Well I would die for you
I've died enough now I'm through
But one day you will see
What won't but what should B-T-F. Please stay.

1. Trip At The Brain

[Mike Clark / Mike Muir]

Tripping...

Ha-ha-ha-ha... Tripping!

[guitar solo]

I gotta gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip out of this place
I gotta gotta get away, get away from the human race
I don't know what I'll see, don't even know what I'll find
I don't know what to pack, never been to a trip at the mind

Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Well I'm going insane!

I took a wrong turn and I ended up at my heart
It could barely even pump no blood, it was so thrashed and torn apart
Thank it for working overtime in pain and misery
Then I set back on the trail, headed for my destiny

Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Well I'm going insane!

Fly with me...
Flying free...

[guitar solo]

Tripping!
You must be tripping!
Trip, trip, trip, trip, tripping!
Ya ya ya ya you're tripping!

I cannot-cannot stop this trip; I forgot to pack the brakes
Crashed straight into a concrete wall of my mistakes
Ended up in a cemetery of a thousand wasted days
But that's alright with me, cause that's where most of my memories lays

Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain!
Well I'm going insane!

Tripping going tripping going
Tripping tripping tripping going
Tripping in my mind these days
And everybody's gonna be tripping
Trippin trippin trippin gonna
Gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna!

Fly with me...
Flying free...

Gotta get away, gotta get away!
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get away!
I gotta get away, gotta get away!
I'm gonna take that trip...

[guitar solo]

Welcome...

'Cause I'm the host with the most, now here's a little toast
Don't think of nothing 'cause you'll put your mind on course
I'll exercise your fears, make you nightmares disappear
You can talk all you want, but nothing do I really hear

Accentuating, exasperating, a simple demonstration in experimentation
A slip flip, slip drip, every little dip
There's not a lack of power in me to keep a person's feelings fed
I'm educated from your personal pain

Well it's so insane but won't you keep on playing?
It's a slip, slide, slip, dad, call a friend, get another job
To pay another shrink and buy his wife another mink
Let me tell you what I think, I think, I think, I think, I...

Gotta get, gotta get away
I gotta, gotta get away, gotta get away
I'm just trippin', trip a trip trippin'
Never thought you saw it but I see it in me
You gotta get away...
You said it's gonna fix, what happened to the truth?
Gotta trip, gotta trip, gotta trip, gotta
You gotta make a sound, and put the down smile
Gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip
A real trip, you'll be down in a hip
Everybody's trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
Don't snip, don't snap, don't get down, it's a trap
Gotta get away, gotta get away, away gotta
A simple observation, mind evaluation
Take your head, try to run away and...

Take that trip to the brain...
Take that trip to the brain...
Everybody's gotta dig it up and gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta;
Take that trip to the brain!

2. Hearing Voices

I got home kind of late last night
My mind wasn't clear, but I could tell something wasn't right

So silent I could hear my heart pump
But then I heard a sound that made me jump

I tried to get real brave, tried to look around
I tried to find out where came that sound
The re I looked, the less I could see
But the voices keep calling, calling out to me

I hear voices-when I'm all alone
Hearing voices-but there's nobody home
Hear the voices-could it be they're calling out to me
Hearing voices-I look, why can't I see
I hear voices-can't stop those voices

It happened again-the very next day
I still couldn't understand what they were trying to say
Could only get the courage to open up one eye
Couldn't see nothing, but the voices they don't lie

I searched and searched but not a soul I found
Pretty damn sure no one was around
The more I looked the less I could see
Then I realized the voices were calling from me

Are they demons-or are they angels or am I crazy

Now the voices I start to understand
They have to do with the master plan
You think about what you'd do
Cause one day the voices will be calling out to you
The voices I hear now I know are true
They come not from one but they come from two
The real point is what I'm missing
From which voice will I listen

I hear voices
Hearing voices
Do you hear the voices?
Can't stop the voices

3. Pledge Your Allegiance

ST ST ST ST ST ST ST ST

I never said I don't like religion-I just don't like TV
You say I got a bad attitude-around you that comes naturally
You say I need more compassion-I can forgive, I just can't forget
You say control my temper-but when I feel like shit, I feel like shit

Cause I was born to be-ST
And I'll always be-ST
Don't get down on me-ST
Cause I'm down OG-ST
Not afraid to die-ST
Just you promise me-ST
Yo got to carry on-ST

Why can't I ask any questions if what you say is true
Am I supposed to believe everything-or just everything said by you?
And how can you call me stupid-when you don't understand what I say
And how can you call me evil-have you spoken to God today-And what did He say?

As long as your heart beats-pledge your allegiance

You can call me ugly-but I still dress the way I choose
How you gonna judge me-you've never taken a walk in my shoes
Why don't you ever trust me when I'm smiling-is it a sin to have fun?
And why should I repent when there's nothin' wrong with anything that I've done

Pledge your allegiance
