Rabies 03:10
I can lick your face I can bite it too Bark all day Annoy the crap out of you I’ve got rabies I’m a man’s best friend Can chew on a toy Or chew on your hands Got a nose for flesh Got a taste for danger I’m a damn dog Paws like razors Don’t get comfortable I’m gonna stand my ground Teeth filled with poison I’m gonna chase you around I’ve got rabies Vicious like hell Out on the streets With no brain cells A marked territory Is all that i got I’ve got no owner I’m calling the shots No need to get fed I’ve got bones to pick Tear you to shreds Making people sick I’ve got rabies Question my behavior Is it down to nature Or a lack of nurture I’m not loyal Though i claim to be Close to retardation As you can see I’ve got rabies

Day in day out, cant slow down Moving forward but missing solid ground Running around chasing an endless goal Getting drawn towards a black hole Stop the wining, got a job to do Going crazy but i gotta pull through There are lessons to be learned, mistakes to make But there's a job to do and we gotta pull through Cause I’m Running on empty Running on empty nothing i can do Running on empty Running on empty gotta pull through
3.
Time to dispose of all the lies Bust this house to splinters There’s something wrong in this town And not just the manicured lawns Curtains are closed, lights are out Everybody whispers, nobody shouts Vicious rumors spreading through town Vicious rumors spreading through town The latest update on who is who Friendly neighbors, they are screening you Vicious rumors spreading through town Vicious rumors spreading htrough town Blending in, colors turn grey There’s no difference between night and day There’s something creepy about this town Looks like there’s no one around Former classmates’ face just changed In a hurry, changing lanes There’s something strange about this town Only ghosts keep hanging around

Warning Sign 03:04
Pay no mind Pay no mind Its just a warning sign Bruised and broken I guess I'm paying the toll For running out of control Pay no mind Pay no mind Its just a warning sign Stubborn, but what are you gonna do? Failure button on repeat Impatience has got me beat Hard headed Good fun No oversight Damage done
5.
Calmed Down 03:13
Bring it down to what it means The damage done it’s on repeat What we seek not what we need An enemy on which we feed Born to run Running to hide Standing ground But out of sight Shadows long they follow me Into the dark never disappears We've calmed down We've calmed down here Just a few seconds Till we return to fear Liberate us Of constant fright A pack of deer In the headlights
6.
Summer breeze enters the room Removes the smell of diapers I got this kingdom for myself For at least an hour or so One ear on the door The other on the stereo That red wine mark really shows But i really don’t want to know All I wanna do Is sit here watching the grass grow Staring through an open door Crayon drawings on the floor Where’s that damn remote control Give me some food for the soul
7.
Grey Day 02:49
Sick of being jerked around, should i count my blessings? Don’t know if I’m being picked at or is this part of a lesson? Alarm clock set, but not for a day like this, need to get away We’re halfway spring, mind set to fall, it’s just a grey day It’s a grey day – doing something wrong It’s a grey day – and its taking too long It’s a grey day – not a cloud in the sky It’s a grey day – We’re all living a lie Need the tension, need the trip, give me friction Take away all my tools, give me no restrictions Wide awake, caught in a storm, it’s a weary day My head aches, not in a conscious state, everything turns grey I’m not out to carry the weight of the world Not holding on for the sake of holding on I’m not out to carry the weight of the world Looks like we’re human after all

The heart so strong, a bulletproof soul A carefree mind, you cannot control Live by these thoughts, repeat the words An unbreakable spirit, cannot be hurt Or so they say, what did they do With some delay, they finally got to you You accept defeat, and stop to care Start to pave the road, that leads you nowhere Straight and narrow, no longer the case Lying and cheating, stuck in a haze There wasn’t a warning, just something that grew But after a while, they finally got to you It hit me like a slow bullet But after a while, it gets to you And all they keep thinking, there ain’t nothing to it Cause after a while, it gets to you All-in all its not that complicated After a while, it gets to you Or so they say, what did they do With some delay, they finally got to you There wasn’t a warning, just something that grew But after a while, they finally got to you

Monday 01:31
Memo’s out But it’s not pretentious A lot of hassle Got a lot to deal with Put down in words Propagate confusion Listen to me Create a delusion All i want to see all i want to do I’ve got a lot to gain but nothing to show to you Point out the truth Take another direction Disposable talks Just do it our way Stare into nothing And call it consensus Divide and conquer There is no one you can trust
10.
Sit down and take it easy, there is no reason to rush All the good ones first so get back to the queue Take a turn for the worst, we’re all out here just wasting time From cradle to coffin, its set in stone, we’re not walking in a straight line All good things come to those who wait A perfect circle, leaves you wondering, keeps us at our place Did we miss anything while we were out there doing nothing? Climb the ladder, take the stairs, is there anybody that really cares? There is no reason to rush, please tell me, there is no reason to rush Turn you inside out All this time on your hands Turn you inside out The distance in your eyes Turn you inside out No good advice It’s all bigger than you
11.
Hear me now I’ve got nothing to say I’m just busy living, not busy dying Nothing to prove, nothing to lose Just going nowhere, or at least I’m trying No strong believes, hand over the remote Switch the channel, not the system Apathy over anxiety, don’t need no sleeping pills Is it reckless Stop being restless Just going nowhere No compassion, no second chances Live goes on, as i keep on walking Groundhog day all over again Do i want the truth or the comfort of lying No strong believes, hand over the remote Switch the channel, not the system Apathy over anxiety, don’t need no sleeping pills
