"Al's War"

"Al's War"



Al said goodbye to his mom and dad
for the first time in his life.
Tonight, he left the house and
walked to the waiting car outside.
Yea, somehow he thought they'd never understand.
That nothing lasts, and he just knows that time,
is just spinning by, and life, is passing him by so fast.

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels like going.

Al said to me a few days ago that he just thought
for the first time in his life.
He feels that the last few years
were only a waste of time (only a waste of time)
Yes, it was always a compromise,
of what he always felt inside.
His declaration,
under the orange street light.

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels like going.
Yeah-ah.

He was the one,
who always did the right things.
He was the one who would always
listen to everything they say.
But today, he's never going back. (Woah-oh-oh)

And nobody said,
that there would be days like these,
there'd be days like these,
there'd be days....

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Woah-oh,
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

"All My Best Friends Are Metalheads"

"All My Best Friends Are Metalheads"


This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager.
You will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race,
their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right
than saying all teenagers are drunken dope-addicts or glue-sniffers.
You think its strange, that there's a way
of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

You think its strange, that there's a way
of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you know about her strength in convictions
or how she puts all her faith in religion.
Did we take the time to really discover,
how little we know about each other.

Keep us from saying anything.
Can't separate from everything.
And all this really means is
you're one in a crowd
and you're paranoid of every sound.
You're not the friend
you won't miss anyhow.

"All Time Low"

"All Time Low"



So this is what it feels like when you finally lose the spark
And this is what it feels like when you finally sober up
The sentence was prison, bars are on me, camouflage
Is it a real choice, get locked away, past dirty thoughts

And if words on a page could save my world
I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes
Or take away their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
From my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Either side feels like surrender but I have announced defeat
It's a prison cell block going toward the Middle East
I'm in between just who I was and who I'm supposed to be
The choice for me is where it calls me to interrogate me

And if words on a page could save my world
I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes
Or take away their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
From my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Stay or go, I feel I'm at the end of my rope
Stay or go, I feel like I am never going home
I wish there was someone else to blame
I wish words could change the way I feel today
If words could save my world
I'd write all day, forever

I've hit my all time low

I'll live life till I've lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

"American Idle"

"American Idle"



We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
That got out somehow without looking back
It's over
It's over

We were the ones that grew up too fast
On the front porch steps when we still had friends
It's over
It's over

We were the kids who were laughing last
With big ideas and failed attempts
It's over
It's over

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

It's in the way
We can't explain
Why we were the ones who got away

It's in the way
These memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away
Lock them away

We were the kids who would scrape and save
And wait around for some better days
It's over
It's over

We were the kids that looked one-by-one
We said we would when we were young
It's over
Yeah, it's over

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

It's in the way
We can't explain
Why we were the ones who got away

It's in the way
These memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away

It's in the way
We slowly replace
The pieces we left in yesterday

Repeat it now, repeat it with me
Repeat it now, repeat it with me

It's in the way
We can't explain
Why we were the ones who got away

It's in the way
These memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away

It's in the way
We slowly replace
The pieces we left in yesterday

It's in the way
These memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away

We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
That got out somehow without looking back
It's over

"Anchor"

"Anchor"



This one goes out to the kids
who drove 6 hours in a stolen car,
then missed the show.
This one goes out to never
losing sight of all the
"how it's been" and "how it was."
Here's to just sinking the ship
and not giving a shit.
Here's to sinking fast
with everyone else.
This one goes out to another
night with no sleep,
Crimpshrine records and
Gainesville streets
This one goes out to Mike,
Var, Mike and Tony,
All, Snuff, Jon, Terri,
Shaun, and Andre.
Thank You

"Anti-Christ"

"Anti-Christ"


[Originally by Slayer]

Screams and nightmares of a
life I want
can't see living this lie no
a world I want
you've lost all control of my
heart and my soul
Satan holds the future
watch it unfold

I am the Antichrist
it's what I've got to be
your God left me behind
and set my soul to be free

Watching disciples of the
satanic rule
pentagram of blood
holds the jackal's truth
searching for the answer
christ hasn't come
awaiting the final moment
the birth of Satan's son

I am the Antichrist
all love is lost
insanity is what I am
eternally my soul will rot

"Antidote For The Underdog"

"Antidote For The Underdog"



Stop the car and let me out
I've got a bad case, I can't stay here right now
Condition; my small town, Prognosis; let's get out
What's left except interstates and out-of-town plates

I'm more than all the cell phone towers
I'm more than all these warning baring streets
I'm more than all these small town skylines
More than they thought I'd turn out to be

Let me get this off my chest
Every bad idea I've had is starting to make sense
Feel emotionless, becoming powerless
What's left except making lists and late night double shifts

I'm more than all the cell phone towers
I'm more than all these warning baring streets
I'm more than all these small town skylines
I'm more than they thought

It's always I want more and what I wish for
It's the never-ending cycle of always being bored
Finding an antidote for the underdog
And an anthem for the idling side

I'm more than all the cell phone towers
I'm more than all these warning baring streets
I'm more than all these small town skylines
I'm more than they thought I'd turn out to be

"Ask the Magic 8 Ball"

"Ask the Magic 8 Ball"



What the fuck
the fuck have I become
I've become the product of the sum
caught in an endless circle
I've become the stupidest man in the world
"Chalk another one up to experience"
y'know it doesn't make any sense
to do it all over again
and then again
then do it all over again
I've become the stupidest man
I think I'm drawing a blank again
this dizziness never seems to end
never seems to end
you know it never seems to end
drunk and sitting in and thinking
change it never seems to come when I'm thinking

"Automatic"

"Automatic"



I think I know it all,
but can I be sure of the things I've grown to know,
and can I say I know it all,
when rules just guide me to blindly follow
and things are automatic when you see them everyday
is it the same routine
or my fucked up dreams,
that keep me walking mindless all the way?
I think, I think I know it all
but is our beliefs just stringing us along
and was there something wrong in what I heard,
for every hour of the day?

"Awkward Age"

"Awkward Age"



Late at night
I can see so clearly
They see right through me
And I know that ten years before
I was the kid at the corner store and I still know
And at that age things are so confusing
And no matter what I tried
I still wound up losing. are things still that confusing?
And at that age, that awkward age
I knew someday that things would change
Have I been thinking too much tonight
When I think of how my life's gone by?
And at that age...
There were things that I never really knew
And I keep hearing my parents say:
"Do as I say, don't say as I do."
What could I do?
