The Dregs
02:58

|

Young and wild
Nobody had the same style
No one could touch us
Because they couldn't stomach us
Going where no one else could go
Never had the sense to know
No one in their right mind
Would want to be there now
We were the dregs and we knew it
They could'nt keep us down
We were the dregs and we liked it
A fuck you to our boring town
Just a couple scumbag kings
The bottom of the barrel is a tangy brew
We shunned the Man and we brought the fight
Don't spit us out, this is raw flavor baby
We took the low to new heights
We were the dregs - you try to hide it
Now you're a right wing marionette
We were the dregs - I can't deny it
Now I'm a liberal degenerate
Still a couple scumbag kings
The bottom of the barrel is a tangy brew
We shunned the Man and we brought the fight
Don't spit us out, this is raw flavor baby
We took the low to new heights
The dregs - that's where it's at
The dregs - bottom of the vat
The dregs - sticking like a stain
the dregs - swirling down the drain

Something's Wrong
03:48
|
|

Fish are swimming backwards upstream
Birds are falling down from the trees
Lighting striking twice and thrice and four times
Lions, tigers, bears running blind
Oh can't you feel it - something's wrong
It's everloving chaos, the earth is standing still
Nothing is way it was, today's a living hell
Sun is black and fire's cold as ice
Arctic boils, the deserts turn to glass
All your yesterdays cease to be
Ripping your face pain is ecstacy
The floor is lava, air is gasoline
I'd say it was the rapture but you're still here with me
Oh can't you feel it - something's wrong
It's everloving chaos, the earth is standing still
Nothing is way it was, today's a living hell

Peak Misery
03:12
|
|

I was young when I first reached peak misery
And I never want to go back
In the midst of my best days
Staring down the barrel of nothing
Peak misery - when you hate your friends
Peak misery - (when) every road's a dead end
The winter persists within your heart
Love is alien territory
I was young when I thought I knew misery
But winter's never been longer
In the midst of my best life
Found myself 'neath a spectre of doubt
Peak misery - can't find your friends
Peak misery - every road's a strange one
The spring eludes your very heart
Love is taken for granted
You know the sun reaches the peaks
Before it kisses the valleys

Tower of Mzark
02:05
|
|

The finest technologies
Architecture supreme
Marriage of oil and steam
Death in metallic gleam
Wrought from the deepest stone
Pioneering gyro core
Civilization past
Their secrets forever lost
Dank halls descend down
To darkness profound
The horrors waiting
Never saw daylight
The echoes deceive
They are upon you
The arrows piercing
Two-pronged destiny!

Four Corners
03:31
|
|
||
Your face glued to a plastic tube
Every desire a shiny box
Everything laid out for you
Aligned with all your wants
Your fear was to be square
Your dream to be so popular
Friends and all the fun you shared
Love a tickle in your gut
Chorus:
Now you dream in squares
Shortest route to whatever is simplest
Four corners still life
Background art, someone else's masterpiece
Life in black and white
You used to spread your wings taking to the sky
All that was before
You decided to embrace the lie
Your meals inside a plastic cube
Life inside a mortgaged box
Friendship just until it tears
Love as long as it is soft
Chorus.
There's only 4 corners
And everything else
is straightlines or gaps
There's only four chords
And everything else
is pretentious or trash
There's only 4 feelings
The happiness,
The the anger the hate the dread
There's only 4 reasons
And none of them
Add up in the end
Chorus.

Your love has been a shell game
An invitation to play in your charm
Just when I began to follow
Your sleight of hand caught me off guard
But I"ve been tricked for the last time
When you call my name I'm gone
You played me like a fiddle now
There's no one left to hear your song
Your love was 3 card monte
I put my trust in your hand and we played
Just when I commenced to winning
Your sleight of hand kept me at bay
But I've been tricked for the last time...
Your love had aces up its sleeve
You moved your piece when I looked away
You doped your horse, you greased the ball
You bribed the refs to make your call
But I've been tricked for the last time...

Liberty Street
03:08
|
|

Have you been good all your life
Seldom seen and never heard,
Going with the madding crowd,
Afraid to leave the curb?
Come on down to Liberty Street
Strut your stuff on Liberty Street
We do what we want
Strut your stuff on Liberty Street
It's legal or it's not
On Liberty Street there are no stop signs
Are you tired of the yes sir no sir,
Waiting in the queue,
Let the boss control you?
Tired of being pushed around?
Come on down to Liberty Street
Strut your stuff on Liberty Street
We do what we want
Strut your stuff on Liberty Street
It's legal or it's not
On Liberty Street there are no stop signs
The decadence, the cruel excess
The glamour and the waste
Prosperity, perversity
The sicknesses we taste
Drive your Ford down Liberty Street
Like you see it on TV
Unbridaled freedom for the taking
Nothing's out of reach
Be pig in shit, be clad in gold
Be sneaking thief, be big and bold
Be naked screaming in the night
Be slick with blood and full of fight
The streets are yours!
On Liberty Street there are no stop signs

Bleak Wind
03:06
|
|
||
Fire in the distance
They say war but I'm not sure
Catch myself in the looking glass
Whose face is it looking back
There's a bleak wind blowing
This time I'm sure it's for me
Everyday another part is gone
The puzzle of my memory
Rumble in the distance
They say trouble but I'm not afraid
They just look back in wonder
Whose words have I just spoke
Time like a ghost
Moving cold against my bones
The dreams I had grow strange
The house I knew, rearranged
Moving like the dawn
A slow creep of shadows drawn
A bleak wind comes calling
To pull through me until I'm gone
