Roots 03:33
It stole our souls and put them on display The addiction is what you play We took advances in the wrong direction Embrace the past you say you won't Oh how our fathers would mourn Reality's calling, time to wake up The devil's got his roots in you, No, it roots from you, yes it roots from you The devil, oh yes he roots from you. Suppressor processor, you're the aggressor, of our souls, of our souls Reality's calling, time to wake up The devil's got his roots in you, No, it roots from you, yes it roots from you The devil, oh yes he roots from you. Living in this digital age Facebook, Youtube have we gone astray?

Bender 02:55
Bender, the way you groove doesn’t end Your twists and turns have got me in a temperamental snare So have a drink, have a smoke, have a laugh with me Oh do everything as you please So come on, do whatever you want to So come on, do whatever you want baby Bender the way you move disgusts me Oh but you’re already twenty three The sail’s been set to sea So have a drink, have a smoke, have a laugh with me And do everything as you please So come on, do whatever you want to So come on, do whatever you want baby

Nervous 04:14
Stage right is scary I’m afraid it might eat me Chew me and spit out my bones It starts in my fingers and works it’s way to bone I hope i do make it home You watch while I suffer You watch while I fight fires Do you ever feel nervous Do you feel so small Hide behind the curtains Up against the walls Do you ever feel nervous Do you feel so small Hide behind the curtains Up against the walls It gets me in my knees My pulse like a stampede I scrutinise all that I see It starts in my fingers I don’t think I can breathe Time after time I concede You watch while I stutter You watch while I fall Do you ever feel nervous Do you feel so small Hide behind the curtains Up against the walls Do you ever feel nervous Do you feel so small Hide behind the curtains Up against the walls We’re not just coming up we want to get around

You put your good suit on You’re putting on a show You put a little skip in your step Oh boy you think you're on a roll You’ve got her in your mind but she don't have you in hers You’ve got her in your mind most of the time but she don't have you in hers She's moving in for the kill she's moving with precision skill She’ll wrap her hands around your heart and she'll whisper Honey you won't feel a thing She’ll play you the part of the fool, is that okay? Oh you'll go with it anyway, any day Because you're the fool that way As the night drags on you lock eyes for the second time tonight But little did you know my boy your fate has been sealed this night She’ll be your worst nightmare your biggest nemesis Something you'll come to realize, a few days down the line You got her in your mind most of the time but she don't have you in hers You got her in your mind most of the time but she don't have you in hers no She's moving in for the kill she's moving with precision skill She’ll wrap her hands around your heart and she'll whisper Honey you won't feel a thing She’ll play you the part of the fool, is that okay? Oh you'll go with it anyway, any day Because you're the fool that way

Run Out 04:45
Is there no place you’d rather, rather be Behind the parking lot, nothing worth to see Your hands are black While your skies are blue Why do you do the things that they force you to Your suffering is coming to an end You’ll never have to do this again Is there no place you’d rather, rather be Behind a cigarette Oh but you can’t see my hands are black While your skies are blue Why do you do the things that they force you to Your suffering is coming to an end You’ll never have to do this again Your suffering is coming to an end You’ll never have to do this again My world comes to an end when you say let’s pretend My world comes to an end when you say let’s hold hands My world comes to an end when you say let’s pretend
6.
You’ve got to know that the world doesn’t stop for you People don’t freeze Time it moves and it moves on through You’ve got to grasp what you need to say right now You’ve got to say what you need to say right now Say it now, say it loud, say it like you’re proud Say it now, say it loud, say it like you’re proud The quick pull trigger of a loaded gun Still better than the hesitant one So grab a handle, we’ve moving along Oh come on You’ve got to grasp what you need to say right now You’ve got to say what you need to say right now Say it now, say it loud, say it like you’re proud Say it now, say it loud, say it like you’re proud

The Life 04:14
I've been a lonely boy Living far away from the people who hold my heart in theirs So come take these words, take these thoughts out of my head Oh come take these words, take these thoughts out of my head I've been a Jaded man Working far away from the people who hold my heart in theirs So come take these words, take these thoughts out of my head Oh come take these words, take these thoughts out of my head 'Cause it’s eating me apart from the inside out 'Cause it’s eating me apart from the inside out

Mind Made Up 03:39
You say I’m self-destructive but that’s alright I’m okay, okay, okay with that Don’t tell me what to do I’ve got my own way, that’s where I’m going I’ve got my mind made up your words won’t sway me here not here not now Don’t lay the tracks again You’ll never get back to where you began I’m putting this thing down I’m leaving this behind you’ll see it now The wind’s been picking up To sweep me off my feet now here we go

Tipping points, middle lines So many things which one must consider Yet to think too much might be The cause for things to go awry Tipping points, middle lines I found panic on the streets of reason I tried to apply this time But I always seem to fail Fuck it all What’s the right call Why is balance so hard to discover I wish I’d see things more clearly But sometimes it can’t be helped Fuck it all What’s the right call Why is balance so hard to discover I wish I’d see things more clearly Tipping points, middle lines I find my side equal to your other Treading different lines this time I hope discord won’t take us under Tipping points, middle lines A warm embrace but none to desire All this time I tried to be someone But I always seem to fail CHORUS All these lines They twist as they tangle, entwine Endlessly, endlessly
