Strung Out

"Party In The Hills"

"Party In The Hills"


Slow down
These chemicals won't take you anywhere
So let the smoke go down and fill the room
As you look at me for something else to blame

Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs
It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come
So hold your breath and follow me
Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be

So you do your dance obliterating everything you see
And I do my best to waste it all away

This machine replicates and hums along
The medication rages but the high is all the same
Just a walking catastrophe now
Crashing into you

So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be
And we'll do it all again tomorrow

So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time

I've turned to see your reaction
And what I thought it would be
From somewhere in the distance
I hear the sirens scream

Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire
With you out there in the middle of the room
Sitting pretty but you know you have

No defense, you have no defense
As we both go down in flames
You hold your breath and wonder why
No defense, you have no defense
Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight

So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time

"Perfect World"

"Perfect World"


Who needs peace when we've got the bomb
Who needs to love when you got the bowl
Who needs money when you've got your credit
You got your plastic paying all your bills

Who needs books when you got tv
You don't need to read with the vcr
Who needs to cook we got the microwave
You don't need to walk when you've got a car

We be livin in a perfect world [?]
A system helpless by itself [?]

Who needs to get up and change the channel
When the remotes can do that for you
Who needs children when you've got abortion
You can kill your babies if you want to

Who needs books when you got tv
You don't need to read with the vcr
Who needs to cook we got the microwave
You don't have to walk when you've got a car

[Chorus]

"Pleather"

"Pleather"


A plain and lazy afternoon still fresh inside my head
An echo of a simpler time, a reflection that's yours and mine
That car would take us anywhere, get back before the sun
Return to that uneasy place where you are father and I am son
We're going for a drive
It's all in my mind
The smell of pleather and gasoline
We are chrome that turned to rust
The years that separate us now are the years we lost to our mistrust
I'm sorry for my absence but it isn't all my fault
I've come to a place where I can say
that I'm not angry at you anymore
Well thought we tried
it's still in my mind
Let me steer us home, I promise to get us there
Looking straight ahead I'll be alright tonight
I look inside myself and find a piece of you in spite of me
It's getting easier to accept I've become a lot like you again
I look inside myself and find a way out of this tangled way
I'm doing things to spite you now
I'm doing things that tear me down
So turn the radio up and we'll sit inside a rivalry
A stolen moment locked in time
A signal that it will be alright
Well, it's getting easier to be me everyday
I look inside myself and find a piece of you

"Population Control"

"Population Control"


I kneel to you when you preach to me
you're my god you're my TV
you control what I say you control what I hear
you control what the fuck
My whole existence revolves around this cable to my mind.
it's thought parole, population control
it's slavery of mankind.

Under their control!
You're loving their control!

Oooo

Don't question the forces that govern your miserable life.
don't seek out the answers that void your empty life.
cause this melancholy vision is just a brief episode
in this game called reality.
It's something I've been trying so hard to figure out.

"Radio Suicide"

"Radio Suicide"


Two silhouettes stand tall against
A gray November sky
Utopian suburban teenage wasteland blues.
You turn to me and sigh, the boredom
Growin' in your eyes
As a voice sings songs of splendor
From the radio
I hear that voice again submerging
From the stereo
Invisible electric life flows
Right through me
Then for a moment I forget about
Just where I'm at and the world fallin'
Around looses all urgency.
It's just another transmission from
A place we all want to be.
It takes control then its spits
Me back to reality
I hear the music
Then I close my eyes
It's just another radio suicide on
The airwaves.
I turned it on-invisible electric life
then the song comes on the radio
The signal takes control-heartbeat
Starts to slow
You hear the words reverberating
In your mind
Twisted electric waves pulse from the stereo
As a voice screams out loud
Everything is not alright
Forget about the static pulsing
In your ear
Forget everything you see and hear
it's just another radio suicide

"Rats In The Walls"

"Rats In The Walls"


It was written I should be loyal to this nightmare that we're in
But something about all the sorrow in your heart that won't let me in
Like the hands of a fool with money to burn
In the breath of one last dying wish
We hear the call and it sounds like there's

Rats in the walls
It's like the dark side of the moon
Serenade me with a whisper and let this nightmare in us bloom

Where do I send all my money?
Who'll deliver the nails through my heart
When I've gone and set it all up burning like the walls
In the ghetto of this reckless love
Bow down with a whimper to pass the time
Or hold me down and take what's mine
Put my head under water and drink my wine
And watch me take it all way too far
Lip service to the one that gave you your crown
You're holding your breath as you're waiting to drown
The echoes in your head bounce around like

Rats in the walls
It's like the dark side of the moon
Serenade me with a whisper and let this nightmare in us bloom
Tonight I'm all dressed here in black I got your monkey on my back
We are not what we say we mean everything we do
And tonight I'm gonna kill another part of you

Stimulation hollow transmission ill defined
At the center of our hearts a signal too obscure to find
Acoustic shadows sex and chaos and the sound of you and me
Here all roads defy your gravity

I have been here all along with the rats in the walls
It's like the dark side of the moon
Serenade me with a whisper and let this nightmare in us bloom
Tonight I'm all dressed here in black I got your monkey on my back
We are not what we say we mean everything we do
And tonight I'm gonna kill another part of you

"Razor Sex"

"Razor Sex"


And now I think I know
what's on your mind
Your eyes melt through me and it's no surprise
I can become you
and through your eyes I'll watch you
Lie to me
step right over me
as I fall to my knees

Like a movie star
like kerosene
Your burning arrows sinking into me
You're my favorite ache inside
So put down that knife and come lie
Down with me
Step right over me
You can do anything your heart pleasures
You can do anything you want

Just like before
she'll bring me down into that place
We come together and erase
each other one more time

Step back as I set myself up for the kill
I might shoot myself in the foot while I swallow that pill
Stand right above us to unbreak my fall
Your sex with a razor and my blood tells all
Step back as I set myself up for the kill
Shoot myself in the foot while I swallow that pill
Stand right above us to unbreak my fall
Your sex with a razor and my blood tells all

Like a movie star
like kerosene
Burning in my eyes
I can feel you now
here I leave myself wide open now
I leave myself wide open now
It's all I ever knew

"Razorblade"

"Razorblade"


Got a feeling you were alone and on the run
with your suitcase filled with razorblades and turpentine
sad eyes of a scarlet glazed in promises made too divine to be real
a runaway too shiftless to know what is wrong don't make it right
and sometimes I wonder if I knew you could I change you
or would you be the same to me right now
your reason to live became a reason to die and now you're gone
I think about you in black in white faded news paint still life memory
of a broken body in a cheap perfume disguise
well I just wanna know you found some peace before you left this place
well it's alright to be afraid of what your eyes can't hide
with both hands tied
did you sink yourself
did you cheat yourself
how did you stray so far to end up here
to know yourself is to destroy yourself
and what you are you could not hide
the truth is all I have to understand
sound and bled instant fame in red
now you're in the spotlight again
a different tale with a darker twist
but for sure you knew that you would always be the star
no lost innocence because there never was just you and the world
no fairy tale could ever end like this it's just another bad luck tale
all used up and on the run from you

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"


I never had a reason to believe in anything
I never had a cause that I could fight for
I never had too much of anything to call my own
A drunk mother and father of four

All my life, I grew up watching others' dreams come true
And how I waited for my days in the sun
Every day, I worked harder and I got farther in debt
I realized that day wasn't ever gonna come

Written off, lost cause
Sold us down the river, got no hope to offer us
Tore down without grief
What's a generation without a reason to believe?

They tore down all my walls and then they made my hatred a crime
Debilitating us with their complacency
Our thoughts become mundane; our generation thinks the same
Our minds anesthetized by apathetic TV

No wars to fight, steel bridges won't burn
The beliefs we uphold are lies; we never learn
The only hope for the future leaves us reason to grieve
What's a generation without a reason to believe?

A reason to believe

No wars to fight, steel bridges won't burn
The beliefs we uphold are lies; we never learn
The only hope for the future leaves us reason to grieve
What's a generation without a reason to believe?

"Rebellion Of The Snakes"

"Rebellion Of The Snakes"


Collapsing global void economy
Erecting chaos to the heart of me
Race and faith aligned in vertigos
There are no atheists in these rabbit holes
Televise the rebellion
So we can feed 'em to the dogs

Phosphorous and secret holy wars
Hieroglyphic radio and sacred doors
Eradicate the shadow of a doubt cuz
The morphine drip is gonna see you out

We are devoid of religion
We are the science of it all
We are the sin of the song
We are the end of it all
As we give in...

To the forces that pull you along
The science of never really living at all
The right or wrong
The sin in the song
The perfect ending to your war
Warning shadows lead me along
For right or wrong we all carry on

The past is dead don't exist anymore
The present is passing quicker than before
Emancipation to the end of the line
I will not follow where I've been before
The only weapon we got is our song
The only way we could stand up at all
We scream together, we die alone
In the end your story is all you own

We are devoid of religion
We are the science of it all
And when forever came calling
We never thought that we'd give in...

To the forces that pull you along
The science of never really living at all
The possibility of going home
The rebellion we start to save our own
This will be broadcast on the nation's door
It's the perfect ending to your war

The past is dead it don't exist anymore
The present is passing quicker than before
The past is dead I don't wanna anymore
So I will not follow where you've taken me before
