1.	Pissed Out 05:43	lyrics	buy track
Pissed Out Waited too long to do the things I should have done so long ago Looking back it brings regrets of the way way I abused and faked it I didn't make it Appears to me that my past is not my history But it's plain to see that I've milked my lifeblood I know I've robbed my life whole Feel it slip right through my fingers Watch it fall upon the floor Time wasted Missed my chance No more tomorrow Tried to turn the clock back - but I can't Feeling life slip through my fingers - things I can't control Fading fast It brings me back to things I've missed and pissed on I never had a doubt I said it time and time again, it'll wait another day But when will I find a reason to commit my tine and motivation Before I fall Feel it slip right though my fingers Watch it fall upon the floor Time wasted Missed my chance No more tomorrow Tried to turn the clock back, but I can't
2.	Excuses 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Excuses Take back excuses you made for him Lying awake bruised and battered Something you might have - or must have did Something you just couldn't do Open your eyes, girl You've got only one life to live in You better decide, girl You've got only one world and one life to lead One time is all that it happened, yeah.. One time - until the next time Laying the blame wrong, reflection - yeah Look out - instead of in Open your eyes, girl You've got only one world to live in You better decide, girl You've got only one world and one life to lead Warriors fight after being knocked down You've got the fight left - find it now Clean the slate Break the chains Kick his ass along!

Dismal Reviews Shuffling your papers, you're a disgrace to yourself Bloodthirsty mongrels, slice up the truth for your shit to sell How do you sleep as you burn every inch of the lives they had? Where do you keep you conscience? You're a sorry lad And I pick up The Daily Rag There's destruction with my morning tea It's a mystery to me - all you've got is a pen - no, not an M-16 They're kneeling Lies - not truth - is what they believe in I'm pleading for you to stop the way you sell your deceit Crucify the innocent Dissect them all - you plant the seed Make thenm guilty as you please All you've got is a pen - not an M-16 Dismal reviews - you're putting the screws to all you can see Face or a name of the one who's insane - and you prove to be Spilling their blood as you drag through the mud - you break through the walls Wrong side of the table - soon you'll take your fall You've gotta stop the way you sell your deceit
4.	The Lamb 04:58	lyrics	buy track
The Lamb Person who is not worthy Misleads the lamb to the woods A crutch for the weak who feel finally complete Committing immoral service Trust in me - I'm your leader Believe in me - I am your deciever Better pray to St. Peter Or you'll be hanging around Something you've got to believe in Doing it all for the cause I know you belong- it's not us who is wrong I'm the one to improve your life Burnt out in Waco You've got it tattered Yes, it mattered Yes, a bad-ass hole You let it all go, yeah I think you need it Can't defeat it Yes - it's seeded Trust in me - I'm your leader Believe in me - I am your deceiver Better pray to St. Peter Or you'll be hanging around
5.	Blindly 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Blindly I might accept the reason that you give me Mind, in flight - broken wings can't take you home Stories fail to dull my sense of evolution Fresh face is stale - what's your point and what's to prove? Stranger, is it playing with me or is it playing with you, forever blindly? Stories, whether telling me true, or just believing in fools - it goes on and on and on Blank stare - looking out but I see nothing Do I care? Turn the switch, appease them all Hope has faded - where's the proof? Please change my thinking Easily jaded - I've been told the bullshit's true I might accept the reason that you give me Mind, in flight - broken wings can't take you home
6.	Autumn Years 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Autumn Years Growing older - can't find the time to play Been a lifetime - seems like only yesterday Friends I'd see everyday I see once in a while - if I'm lucky Autumn years Holding back the tears Maple leaf freezes to the bitter pavement Wasn't long ago we could breathe the air we breathe Sends a shiver through my tired bones Stops the blood in my veins Falling down As the air gets colder Find myself doing things I'd never do Flocks of geese overhead - can I join you? If only I could fly away Slip away from fate Autumn years Holding back the tears
7.	Slow Me Down 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Slow Me Down Can't win if you don't play Can't sit if you don't stay Things have got to change I don't know how I keep going It's the thrill of the chase and the thrill of not knowing 6 AM and the dice are rolling - but my pockets are crying for more Never thought I'd lose like this While running the race, the finish line I missed Wasn't Lady Luck I kissed - you see, the horseshoe I left at home Slow me down - someone got to slow me down Dry in this desert town - someone got to slow me down Help me win - watch me fall Push me back against the wall Slow me down - someone got to slow me down Desert town - goodbye, I'm leaving Too late - I know, but I'm not grieving Guess this year's a losing season With no one to slow me down
8.	Guilty 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Guilty Let me know I'm wrong Put up forever - not for long Man, they got that bond - I know I'm hated Playing by your rules Put me up on the Pigeon Stool Work me through and through The truth is faded Blood is on my hands I can not understand Got the upper hand False accusations Got me in the frame Got my story - straight insane Picture what I say Truth mutilation Five to ten - or twenty five Screw the rest man, I'm alive Take my life - a grain of salt No remorse - you sleep at night

10.	Leave - 1994 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Leave - 1994 Moving out from tunnel vision Drain my heart - all the strength I've known Got all my pride with your frontal system Ridicule my love There was a time when you felt the reason To smile sweetly from nine to five Sparkle bright in the public eye Look around at everyone blinded I think I'll leave you tonight Leave your pace of life behind You know I can't put up a fight Resolution to the situation Is not within my sight I think I'll leave you Decision-making time's upon us Pain or pleasure - hot or cold? Can't forgive the stars so plain that Tear into my soul You know that I'm leaving You know that I've got to go Time wasn't meant to be wasted No, no - we've got to face it It's clear to me that there's no devotion You've left my heart like a dried-up ocean I wasn't able to breathe Why can't you see it? You've heard this tale of love gone bad It's undeniable destiny Move along - quick and painless But open wounds will bleed...
