Hunger

Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
Keep that fire burning
Satiating my appetite
I don’t feel a thing right now
And later on I’ll feel alright
Don’t expect to hear a thing
From me I have made my self clear
If you can’t see you never will
And I won’t shed a fucking tear
I’m not hungry anymore
I’ve done all that you’ve asked for
Still I can’t walk out the door
You locked it, and now I feel it.
No undeserving sympathies
I’ve done for you all I can
You’ve shown me that you’re quick to forget
and I am not your man
I’m not hungry anymore
I’ve done all that you’ve asked for
Still I can’t walk out the door
You locked it, and now I feel it.

Looking Back

Lyrics by Ben Caceres
Its time to finish the shit that you started
The money, the power, it makes you retarded
Please stop this bullshit its driving me wild
You wont speak to us cause we're not from your turf
Look back at the shit that you did
Looking back it makes me sick
You already have the world at your tips
Just stop you're already rich
Crazy and stupid are things that you call us
You have no idea on what's going on
I can't call the army I can't call the navy
You're above all prosecution
Look back at the shit that you did
Looking back it makes me sick
You already have the world at your tips
Just stop your already rich
I guess you will keep on controlling
The times are not changing
Its staying the same

Nothing You Did
02:31
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
It's nothing you didn't do
It's nothing you did
But things weren't right
And they had to be fixed
Nowhere to run
And I'm too honest to hide
We couldn't let it slide
and just get on with our lives
There's something I'm missing
And it could be you
There's no point in telling
What might not be true
Let's keep it simple
Cause no ones to blame
For us so why do I
Feel so ashamed
I knew I had to turn you down because you're leaving me
I knew I couldn't hang around, it was eating me
I knew I couldn't make it sound so easy
I knew this would come back around, you're leaving me
It's nothing you didn't do
It's nothing you did
But things weren't right
And they had to be fixed
No where to run
And I'm too honest to hide
We couldn't let it slide and just get on with our lives
There's something I'm missing
And it could be you
There's no point in telling
What might not be true
Let's keep it simple
Cause no ones to blame
For us so why do I
Feel so ashamed
I knew I had to turn you down Because you're leaving me
I knew I couldn't hang around It was eating me
I knew I couldn't make it sound So easy
I knew this would come back around you're leaving me

Good Luck

Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
Trying my best
Pulling through this
Working so hard
With nothing proven
We can only try
To mend what’s broken
We’ve gotta move on
With so few words spoken
Here it comes
We’re taking you all on
And we don’t give a fuck
We’ll kill you for fun
You try to hack it
But you know you suck
It’s kind of funny
So we wish you luck
Fuck the scene
You look so dumb
We want no more
The time has come
Save your selves
This is not just fun and games
We know we all want out
Cause we’re surrounded by these lames
We don’t have time
We’re not taking any names
Remember who you are
And stay inside your lanes
You’re laughing now
But wait until it’s over
You’re lying on your couch
No job or school and still sober
Let’s see you keep up
This terrible charade
No matter what
Your luck is gonna fade
Fuck the scene
You look so dumb
We want no more
The time has come

Gone Insane
02:04
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
It's no longer life or death
It's keep up or be depressed
Standing here all by myself
Wondering if there's something else
I don't wanna breath today
The weight destroys me anyway
Trying just to wait it out
Before I fucking bleed it out
No one knows that you have these thoughts inside your brain
No one knows that you have gone insane
I know I can work it out
its just hard to see it through
Wait until you're head goes numb
Wait until your face turns blue
Trying to keep up the pace
Never get there anyway
Waiting for my break to come
When it comes I swear I'm done
No one knows that you have these thoughts inside your brain
No one knows that you have gone insane

Lyrics by Ben Caceres
I don't know whats harder
The fact that they show me who's wearing what
Or To think kids are dying but no one even gives a fuck
Everyone says there's problems but were all so fucking oblivious
Vox news can eat a dick there causing all of this
Become a slayer equals thoughts and prayers
Nothings gonna change
Red carpet, Emmy's, Oscar's
They always steal the fame
They're not important open your eyes
They're feeding us lies
They're feeding us lies!
The media took our brains when Bush took Afghanistan
Its time we tell e-news that no one cares
What every celebrity has planned
TMZ can suck it for talking shit on Andy Roy
It's time you open your eyes
You're living through the medias lies
Become a slayer equals thoughts and prayers
Nothings gonna change
Red carpet, Emmy's, Oscar's
They always steal the fame
They're not important open your eyes
They're feeding us lies
They're feeding us lies!

Idea of God
01:42
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
I want to know if my will is free
More curious than you might think
I strive for answers we all should seek
But with no help it’s all up to me
There is no right nor wrong answer
The truth is only what we assert
We can’t deny, we can’t confirm
But then one day we’ll have to learn
There is a way we all should go
But what that is we’ll never know
I’ve tried so hard and I’ve searched abroad
but nothing comes close to my idea of God
I lie awake and wait to see
If anything will make sense to me
I don’t believe it’s our destiny
But being without faith makes no sense to me
With all that’s forbidden and stricken from sight
I can’t help but wonder which testaments right
We’re told to believe and never put up a fight
But we’ll see who’s hurting when we see no light
There is a way we all should go
But what that is we’ll never know
I’ve tried so hard and I’ve searched abroad
but nothing comes close to my idea of God

Mess with My Head
02:23
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
I never know why I should get out of bed
I know later on I will wish I was dead
How did I get down this path that you led
Why do you always just mess with my head
Everyday is a question, how will I react to the different emotions, should have no affect
But they do, they stick and they rot in my brainit's these things that I'm feeling that make me insane
You never confess what is causing your pain and I try for an answer but you're never game
I have no where to go because I hate being alone but you won't follow me you can be on your own
How are you always inside of my head
How did I let you inside of my head
Why don't I feel like I'd rather be dead,
Than you have you remaining inside of my head
This pattern continues, I can't take much more but you're why I'm happy so I'll have to endure what I must in order to keep you around
Because nothing is better than this love that I've found
I will make it right because I constantly fear the possibility of you not being here
I need to be clear when I lay out my thoughts, I need you to know what your actions can cause
How are you always inside of my head
How did I let you inside of my head
Why don't I feel like I'd rather be dead,
Than have you remaining inside of my head

Reward
02:15
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
You've got all these problems
And they’re starting to take over
You wish you could just take your life
There is no feeling lower
You feel empty inside
And you just want to explain
You have all these emotions
And you are not to blame
Where is my reward
For being just like you
Where is my reward
for being human too
Where is my reward
For being just like you
Where is my reward
for being human too
(Verse 2)
Maybe it's your parents
Maybe it's your friends
We all know it's just you
But you like to pretend
I've felt the way you do right now
I've been there before
I've had that feeling inside you now
I've been there before
Where is my reward
For being just like you
Where is my reward
for being human too
I get so fed up when I see
People start to cry
Especially when there's no reason to
It's all of our own lies
We tell them to each other
We seek each others help
Not looking for compassion
We're just can't help ourselves

Because of You
01:57
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas Kilker
I had the same dream last night
They wanted us together, you never put up a fight
It's easy to see but it's hard to swallow
That you didn't want me around
Now I know this pain won't go away
I blame myself because of you everyday
Maybe you've forgotten me, maybe you feel the same
But I'll never know so I'll never be okay
Waking up is the hardest fucking part
I hope it never ends once it starts
Something in your brain or maybe it's in your heart
But you never would admit to tearing everything apart
I'll come out better because we're through
It never seemed like poison because I never knew
What was going on, it wasn't anything new
And now I know I'm better because of you
Because of you
I'm starting new
Because of you
Because of you
I'll see this through
Because of you

Fear
01:59
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Jonas KIlker
Another night of no rest for me, it’s nothing I don’t know
To go to sleep could mean I’m weak but there is else to show
Destructive and confused, I don’t have any words right now
I beg for mercy of my mind, i'd stop it, I don’t know how
They lied to me about your ways and told me what to do
I tried not to make sense of I but it all sounded true
One phone call is all it takes to get me through to you
You answered then I knew who I was talking to
Some fear death disease and pain, others fear loneliness
Some fear failure and shame but one of these impress me
I only fear the one thing that I know is real
People who can fake a smile and say their love is real

Riot

Lyrics by Chuck McKissock
We’re face to face, we feel tension
Our fists are clenched, you need a lesson
You’re blending in, not standing out
We know you’re full of shit, without a doubt
You’re on your knees, to beg and plead
Preaching punk rock is the thing you breathe and bleed
We’re the ones, you tried to match
All you are is an itch we cannot scratch
Riot
Riot
Riot
Riot
What you do, and how you act
Annoying majority are the ones that have your back
You shoot to thrill, and aim to kill
Supporting nazis is your only way to feel
Doing nothing, and still complain
You get it all handed to you, every fucking day
We have no say? And no rights?
You’re actions have caught up and now your choking on your lies
Riot
