1, 2, 3, 4
Now I'm a seasick sailor
On a ship of noise
I got my maps all backwards
And my instincts poisoned
In a truth blown gutter
Full of wasted years
Like blown-out speakers
Ringin' in my ears
Oh it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
It's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
Now I'm a straight-line walker
In a black-out room
I push a shopping cart over
In an Aztec ruin
With my minion fingers
Working for some God
Who could see his own reflection
In a parking lot
Oh it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
No it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
Now I'm a priest teenager
On a tower of dust
I'm a dead generator
In a cloud of exhaust
I eat alone in the desert
With skulls for my pets
I rate the days, one to ten
With lead cigarettes
It's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
It's nausea, oh nausea
today you're gonna be sick so sick
you'll prop your forehead on the sink
say oh christ oh jesus christ
my head's gonna crack like a bank
tonight you'll fall asleep in clothes-
so late like a candy bar wrapped up for lunch
that's all you get to taste
poverty and spit
poverty and spit
nausea
bloody red eyes go to
nausea
bloody red eyes go to
nausea
bloody red eyes go to
nausea
bloody red eyes go to
sleep!
today you're gonna be sick so sick

you can't remember what you said

Here I am, motherfucker
Here I am, as I am
As you made me think I am
I don't hear you
I don't need you
I don't want you
Don't wanna feel anymore
(Don't hear you)
Don't wanna feel anymore
(Don't need you)
Don't wanna feel anymore
(Don't want you)
Don't wanna feel anymore
(Don't feel you)
This is this, this is it
Not my kisses, just my fist
I don't hear you
I don't need you
I don't want you
Don't wanna feel anymore

One more time you've
gotten into my head
I've let your words get
into me
Every time I try to talk,
you never listen
You got the answers,
I don't know a thing
But you ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
This time you won't be
getting under my skin
What you had I've taken
away
Tell me what you're gonna
do, it doesn't matter
You're always talking, it
don't mean a thing
So ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
Well you sat there and
cried
As these words came to
glide
through your delicate skin
leaving blood on these
pages
So how does it feel
to be at one with the fate I
seal
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from
me to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there
to bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
When the prodigal son picks the skin off his teeth
he licks the top of his lips. he says you are what you eat.
He takes a Cadillac drive through the Tennessee fires,
a swig of whiskey and rye, the moon reflects in his eyes.
I used to be the mayor of this city,
and all the girls, they look so pretty
but I used to hate myself, oh.
I still hate myself.
And all the members in my committee and all the angels and prayers of pity
won't save you from yourself no, when you hate yourself.
(Shut your eyes and you'll burst into) Flames in his breath whenever he speaks.
He's got the top of the world at the soles of his feet.
He's a bargaining man, he's got a lucrative hand,
he's not part of the Bible, the Torah, or Qur'an.
I'm a man who fucks with fire, and I'm a man who sleeps with liars,
but I don't come from Hell no. I wasn't raised in hell.
I never felt so damn inspired than the holy day that I retired
and I summoned Hell, oh. You're living in Hell.
God scorched the fields and dried the lakes.
I should've left but chose to stay.
Man kills man, but can't kill me.
High noon; the light gets chased by dawn
I threw my Caddy into park
Put the top down and watch them burn.
I watched the trees burn in flame, I hear the buildings give way.
I feel the tremors set in, I smell the sulfur burn in.
I thought the radio died, but somehow it survived.
I tried so hard not to cry, they played American Pie.
Don McLean knew of the darkness, and the sadness of time.
I remember that song as a kid, and how I was affected.
Everyone feels estranged in this world, everyone is connected.
I didn't know much of Buddy Holly, I always thought it was Oswald.
Release me from your world of lies
I cannot bear this pain
Degenerate machinery
The monster we create
Nausea, oh sweet nausea
Genetic barcode hell
Mental genocide
Repulsive human shells
Choke on the fruits of out life
Nausea, oh sweet nausea
Cold stare, starving eyes
Blinded, tired lives
Release me from this pain
Unknown to man
Nausea, oh sweet nausea
Cold stare, starving eyes
Blinded, tired lives
Release me from this pain
Unknown to man
"The family structure

Slaves from birthon through death,
one enters another world,
through the womb of imagination.
Searching through your depression
for the meaning of life
no one you can trust
reality faces of deception
forgotten left alone
to stand against what fear you seek
enter the bounds with no escape
condemn to a world of misery.
Blind within
Seek the truth
Realitys dreams
False prophecies.
All your worries
Stress of mix emotions
Can't think straight
his omnipresent power is felt in every home
feel his warm static embrace, you'll never be alone
his flickering gaze emanates the divine light
that bathes his worshipers each and every night
"don't worry, be happy",you'll never have to choose
he will show you how to win and show you why you why you lose
you know without his guidance you surely would be lost
so feed him your compassion to defray the cost
you are now...baptized
you are now...chastised
you are now...desensitized
you are now...lobotomized
praise the cybergod...for the pound of flesh you ate
praise the cybergod...for the gift of hate
praise the cybergod...to show what's right and wrong
praise the cybergod...you will make him strong
with his illusion you will be king of your world
he will show you uses for those naughty little girls
as for women, you can own the ones you'll never find
just sit back and leave the real world behind
with all your money and fast cars, you'll surely lead the race
you'll sit at cybergod's right hand and never fall from grace
in your imagination you'll be the one to rule
but in the harsh reality, you're a media tool
praise the cybergod...for the fools you put in power
praise the cybergod...liar, usurper
praise the cybergod...for a false reality
I am the non-creator
for man has created his own lord
I am the anti-master
for this lord god rules with a blood stained sword
their slavery is based on deception
their chains are tightly bound
the holders of the keys
shall lock us to the ground
the power for the people
not for their promised land
the power for the people
their utopia shall crumble into sand
the created god on which you rely
shall rule you until you die
the "book" continues to hold them
but still never questioned why
would you allow your life to be taken
by the clutches of just one hand?
would you allow your life to be taken
by the clutches of just one man?
would you ever understand what their lies are about?
through all your research there's still no cure for a disease like you
ulcerated eyes show no glimmer of life
nor do they reflect the pain inflicted by your knife
they're cancerous and bleeding
better off dead
vivisectionist you must be sick in the head
he's a contract killer for the company
to see how their products will effect you and me
the gruesome way in which these animals die
makes you wonder what's in the products that you buy
from dogs forced to smoke your cigarettes
to the monkeys that suffer electrical shocks
their crying eyes plead from inside a cage
since the sun first shot it's rays across the sky
a darkness crept into mankind's wretched soul
in fear the weak first spawned the sanctimonious lie
that grew within their hearts demanding to control
from the void within their minds arose a fearsome god
cowering upon their knees they began a reign of guilt
jealously they coveted the freedom they once knew
but could not cast off the chains of servitude they'd built
for two thousand years or maybe more
the sacrificial blood has been shed
to appease the so-called Saviour
they pile high the corpses of the dead
their holy water cannot wash away
the price of freedom stained upon their hands
and the fear of their Judgement Day
it spread across the distant lands
our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy shame
thy kingdom come, the blood will run, enslaved on earth as in heaven
heal the blind so they will see
that their salvation is not for free...sinner!
the depth of their intolerance none can ever tell
thus began the inquisition
and the non-believers freedom they call the heathen's hell
the foundations of religious persecution
and those who seek, will surely find
reconstructing humyn nature for procurement and self promotion
refining the skills that will exact humyn demotion
with the segregating strength of the stigmata issued
we create the carriers of our wrath
innocence abused
the persecuted harbor bigots' sour venom
masses fill the scapegoat roles in the social procession
objectives first in mind
tools carved for the trade
sociopathic megalomaniacs
the by-products we create
freedom taken
ignorance remains
a blackened dove
is a dove the same
profited by this existence of expendable nature
gambling with the tokens of sex, class and color
population of oppressors
we rest assure
by paragons of despot
so greedily nurtured
restrained and maintained by the strings held above
in the record grooves of our minds
we blame a blackened dove
exploitive shield over the eyes
remains only with permission of an ignorant mind
the hope for freedom is always darkened
by those who replace love for hate in the controls of our lives
enlighten your minds
recognize their devices
goddess raped by god
devouring our imminence
famished for fear
we die
sacrosanct arbiter
subjugating the earth
bastardizing spirituality
demise
consummate your venality
battened by life's spoils
placate your greed
we cry
womyn and earth
objectified
brutalized
profitised
despiritualised
we die
his omnipresent power is felt in every home
feel his warm static embrace, you'll never be alone
his flickering gaze emanates the divine light
that bathes his worshipers each and every night
"don't worry, be happy", you'll never have to choose
he will show you how to win and show you why you why you lose
you know without his guidance you surely would be lost
so feed him your compassion to defray the cost
you are now... baptized
you are now... chastised
you are now... desensitized
you are now... lobotomized
praise the cybergod... for the pound of flesh you ate
praise the cybergod... for the gift of hate
praise the cybergod... to show what's right and wrong
praise the cybergod... you will make him strong
with his illusion you will be king of your world
he will show you uses for those naughty little girls
as for women, you can own the ones you'll never find
just sit back and leave the real world behind
with all your money and fast cars, you'll surely lead the race
you'll sit at cybergod's right hand and never fall from grace

but in the harsh reality, you're a media tool
praise the cybergod... for the fools you put in power
praise the cybergod... liar, usurper
praise the cybergod... for a false reality
Look at this world man has created
People dependent on greed and hatred
Wars between religion
Wars between races
Still fighting battles
Their ancestors started
You destroy
You exploit
We condone
We self destruct
Blood money pours from every wound
Wars for profit selling weapons of doom
Destroying ourselves
Destroying our land
Taking the future from our children's hands
You destroy
You exploit
We condone
We self destruct
The graves of Auschwitz were not enough
Nagasaki, Hiroshima are a sea of blood
Did you forget Cambodia, Vietnam?
It was miles away in a primitive land.
You destroy
You exploit
We condone
born then thrown into the pit
and taught to hate each other
we build our own pile of shit
and then we make another
we bring this upon ourselves
ignorance is bliss
we love to cause each other pain
why the fuck is this?
I don't like the shit I see
suicidal destiny
hate, despair and apathy
just maintains this treachery
then we're put into our molds
and taught our various roles
roles designed by media
created then controlled
controlled by laws and standards
rooted in normality
normality based on violence and insecurity
I don't like the shit I see
suicidal destiny
hate, despair and apathy
just maintains this treachery
world of no tomorrow
makes me fucking sick
world of no tomorrow
Lied to threatened cheated and deceived
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing
Led up garden paths and into blind alleys
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing
Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that
No I'm no dogs body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat
Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think
Ain't no feeble bastard
Take your religious chains
you don't own my soul
you've tried to soak our brains to waste
with holy water in a silver bowl
beware of your godhood
for soon they shall rebel
you've stabbed us with your sacred cross
and blessed us with this living hell
lord, god, father and son
your pious solve their problems with their guns
lord, god, father and son
why must I hang upon a cross for the sins I've never done
beware of your godhood
for soon they will rebel
we'll break your chains
destitute populations
diseased minds
censored opinions
dwelling on time are people really blind
or just absent of their minds
a continuous pattern towards
the fallout of our very being
and when at war
soldier kills soldier
it's man killing mankind
I ask you why?
should we just sit around
waiting for you to drop your bombs
no we won't sit around
waiting for the end to come
an opportunity to stop the arms race
we must disarm today
or destroy the human race
they're building up those walls of fear
don't let them tell you it can't happen here
they're building up those walls of hate
let's knock them down
before it's too late
we must look back
to where the race began
take back our power
our lives from their hands
enlight and unite
for others to follow
lend yourself to freedom
from awareness will come change
they're building up those walls of hate
Engines of destruction lurch into gear,
Our destiny driven by greed and by fear.
Progress, the bittersweet pill we must taste,
Alone, we are exiled to an earth laid to waste.
With our very blood we must fuel the machine,
The resultant carnage is fucking obscene.
Mad men rush in where the sane fear to tread,
Like cattle to slaughter, we’re willingly led.
Stillborn, we lie cold and dead in our world,
A womb made of concrete and steel.
Lifeless, mankind has become obsolete,
Prey of tech-no-logic-kill.
The reaper of death is a silicone brain,
The last plague is progress, leprous reign.
From master to slave, we soon shall fall;
Tech-no-logic-kill is consuming us all.
A predestined hell unleashed by man’s own hand,
Eating away irreplaceable land.
Displaced native people refugees,
They crawl to the axe on their hands and knees.
Ground under the wheels of the microchip age,
Lost in translation, we just turn the page.
Stillborn we lie cold and dead in our world,
A womb made of concrete and steel.
Lifeless mankind has become obsolete,
Prey of tech-no-logic-kill.
The reaper of death is a silicone brain,
The last plague is progress, leprous reign.
From master to slave, we soon shall fall;
Tech-no-logic-kill is consuming us all.
Engines of destruction lurch into gear,
Our destiny driven by greed and by fear.
Progress, the bittersweet pill we must taste,
Alone, we are exiled to an earth laid to waste.
As the sands of time are scattered to the winds of fate,
One looks back and wonders if it was too little, too late.
Like parasites, we slowly suck the life out of our host,
Devouring for profit, we’ve destroyed what’s worth the most.
As sickness spreads across the world, a sign of modern times,
Multinationals commit environmental crimes,
Protected by a web of bureaucratic red tape and lies;
We’ve made laws which will ensure humankind’s demise.
The earth grows more intolerant and hostile day by day;
Never clear about suggestion
breaking down your sense of values
tie in a system were your confine
crucify for the needs of others.
your voice has spoken
without a response
what this so-called government
does not hear your crys.
how wrong can it be
put your trust in the system
the freedom that you spare
is the power they consume.
trap in a system
condemn for ones life
the choice that you make
your flag
war flag
red, white and blue
the colors of a history
that have changed nothing for you
the patriotic banner
for the racists to rally under
used as propaganda
lead you to fight another
open your eyes and look around
at the racism and the hate
open your mind and understand
the oppression by the state
in your mind breeds violence and hate
tools to strengthen the fascist state
oppressing minorities
for god and for country
the ignorance you practice
will never set you free
open your eyes and look around
at the racism and the hate
open your mind and understand
the freedom from the state
it's time to say enough
it's time to scream no more
put all racism on the offensive
all people join together
Equal rights and justice,
A dream we must make true.
Without a ruling nation,
Free of racist fools.
Let nature make the boundaries,
Not power drunken scum
Who kill for greed and profit.
Our lives ruled by their guns.
How many lives will the system take away
In the name of their blood-lust and power hungry ways?
If you're looking for the truth, all you'll find is lies.
Another cover up, another rebel crucified.
He questioned their authority.
They stole away his life.
Riddled full of bullets
For opening people's eyes.
The papers gave their stories
Of how Peter Tosh had died.
But now they know the real truth.
They won't believe those lies.
Don't get too close, you'll be next on their list.
CIA death squads make another hit.
Government and murder going hand in hand.
Like Hitler and his Nazis, here comes the final plan.
Another rebel dies so their system can survive.
They stop the people's rise with their murder and their lies.
Another rebel dies so their hatred can survive.
They blind the people's eyes with their politricks and lies.
Another rebel dies so their hatred can survive.
They stop the people's rise with their murder and their lies.
Another rebel dies so their system can survive.
They blind the people's eyes with their politricks and lies.
Another rebel dies so their hatred can survive.
They stop the people's rise with their politricks and lies.
Another rebel dies so their hatred can survive.
Artillery flashes
a government crashes
a civilian dies
false freedom's price
the power of profit strengthens
as death lists lengthen
we've paid your price
fought your wars
we won't take it anymore
get ready the light shines clearer
get ready the end is nearer
another tool
sister and brother
stolen from the womb of your mother
given one choice
to throw away your voice
words leader's speak spread disease
as we beg for life on our knees
a world based on power and greed
lives in exchange
for what they need
lies are swallowed
as the poor blind follow
poverty military political prison
our lives can't be held by your system
don't tell me
I deserve nothing
I deserve the right to live
I'm not you experimental rabbit
used for your sick purposes
we'll fight on till the answer's clear
and our children need not fear
if it takes
as our last moment takes it's toll
the madmen's wrath then unfolds
everything crumbles on our heads
we flee as the sky turns red
the day will come when our houses burn
the ice won't melt
the world won't turn
you'll just cry in hunger and thirst
the day will come when the world will burst
as our time drips slowly
and our lives melt like wax
we put our heads upon the block
destructive not productive
man always seems to destroy
when the opportunity arises
man always takes more
never satisfied
the soil is scorched
never satisfied
the world is torched
the conscience of humanity
is that of greed and hate
shouldn't we have learned by now
The power of the government
to constitute more arms
for our future annihilation
of all mankind.
war is murder,
war is suffer,
war is death,
Hideous screams
point of intention
truth foreknown
oppressive state.
Inner conflict
torn emotions
lost reality
path to confinement
endless struggle
to achieve
psychologic awaken.
Numb enflesh
lost senses
forgotten reality
You've seen them on the march
an endless struggle and fight
don't give in on the promise
except for what is right
fighting against traditions
fighting against religion
fighting for human rights
fighting for our existence
don't try to stop us
we'll give you one warning
we will make our stand
a new age is dawning. Their system~will you hear
will you see
will you care Like soldiers go to war
a battle of the streets
the oppressions of society
formed by their police
you're fighting against police
fighting against the state
fighting for their freedom
trying to create
do you really believe in peace?
as the world stands divided
will the kids ever understand
to be as one united. Their system~will you hear
will you see
will you care Now I'm on the march
joined in the fight
we're figuring out our problems
of what's wrong or right
fighting against sexism
fighting against racism
fighting for human rights
fighting for humanization
if you're looking for a future
free from war and hate
open up your eyes
the world is growing weaker
with the passing of each day
riding the westwinds
the fetid stench of decay
resources dwindle into the consumerist machine
as mechanical vultures pick
the carcass of our world clean
extinction
from the rot man has sown
he must now reap the seeds
the fruit of his labor
hunger and disease
we now cling to this dust
like flies, crawling on carrion
whose infertile soils are fit
only to bury in
extinction
as our dying breath is released to the wind
the innocent lie
with those who have sinned
their meaningless lives
have long been forgotten
as the cycle rebirth
starts to begin
a new day will dawn
through the rising of smoke
of civilizations shattered dreams and hopes
new life will rise from mankind's fall
whose corpses will feed
Apound destruction
future of the world
raping millions
the greed for power
destroying faith
lies in ones pasted
pray the master
end the suffering.
murder,
kill,
death,
suffer,
crys,
lost,
Entertain the masses
with music video shit
it's used to serve two purposes
not "playing all the hits"
one, it makes you passive and desensitized
two, it teaches to consume and tells you what to buy
fills your head with concepts
of how to dress and act
does the video sell the music or does the music sell the crap?
art or advertisement?
I'm really not quite sure
all I know is that I don't want my MTV no more
corporate tool
telescreen
device to run our lives
fills my head with garbage
fills my head with lies
little psychodramas
false images of life
a visual anesthetic
to numb us from the strife
spew endless token tantrums
to keep us pacified
false images of freedom
to keep us all in line
kept in constant darkness
from the true reality
a mindless pantomime
from the screen of my TV
reality of life?
I'm really not quite sure
all I know is I don't want this anymore
a portrait of the world
that's nothing but a dream
a bright and rosy future
on a black and white screen
don't think twice
don't even use your brain
make sure that every one
in the tribe does the same
it's so much easier than thinking for yourself
like neatly packaged products
on a supermarket shelf
max headroom says to buy it
as seen on MTV
well you can fuck off max
cause now I really see
a vision of reality?
no, now I'm really sure
fuck your MTV
cause I don't need it anymore
keeps your corporate music
my rebellion's not for sale
I don't want your empty life
suffer - pain
lies - vision.
future - power
world - screams.
The suffering
lies running free
sight of reality
edge of helplessness one dreads.
Try to escape
worthless truth of life
breed like maggots
Controll by a system
false promises
to live a better life
what bullshit one speaks
money making assholes
take all they can
greed is what they bleed
how much more can they take.
Making more profit
waste their hard earn dollars
on something not worth having
make the rich more richer
deceiving ones trust
taking from the consumer
no truth in this business
maimed and mangled on a battlefield
you've got no arms
the nightmare's real
your face and legs have been blown away
a useless stump
you're thrown astray
in greater wars
when each proud fight brags
they war on death for lives
not for men but for flags
mother sings her songs of woe
father turns
doesn't want to know
your family has been torn apart
Expanding new horizons
the age of humanity is past
a sterile new environment
where emotion cannot last
a frail human weakness
that must be overcome
your wretched laugh and feeble tears
are now over and done
anesthetize the feelings
cauterize the mind
life's simple joy is a luxury
that they will never find
step into the light of day
we'll see to all your needs
give up to us your children
so we may sow the seeds
of a new and useless way of life
we call the status quo
we'll feed them lies of our new age
and off to work they'll go
to keep up peak production
we'll exploit their petty greed
if I work long and hard enough
then someday I'll succeed
but when your use has ended
and you've worked long and hard
you'll see yourself a wasted mess
and permanently scarred
I'll inherit the wasteland
a technological dream
that's draining my life's blood
I'm chained to the machine
sift through emotional wreckage
weed the weak out from the strong
with the dawning of our master race
how can we go wrong?
strong in body weak in mind
a total lack of thought
drones work an anti-septic hive
that our tax dollars bought
cleanliness and godliness
the lessons of the day
step out of line
and you'll find out the price you have to pay
technology will blossom
but soon it has to feed
consuming all your wasted lives
to satisfy it's need
the path you took was futile
because you were deceived
they told you, you were on your way
and that's what you believed
until one day you saw the gray
that had become your life
a rocky barren wasteland
of suffering, toil, and strife
they finally lost all use
for your spent mind and failing health
now when you see your children
it reminds you of yourself
when you traveled down that "golden road"
that ended up in ruin
they will all fall victim to the system
everyday I wake up
waiting for the day
when they send their fascist strong-arms
to come and take my home away
my home may not be much
but I built it all the same
and I'll not let these bastards
steal my home away
they refuse to hear our pleas
to compromise our position
our only alternative
is we leave this land of "freedom"
they keep smashing at our door
we will never fall
our blood, sweat and dreams
lay within these walls
we'll just patch them up
again and again
they label us dirty squatters
junkies, political activists
I prefer to use the term humans
in search of peace and freedom
you've seen us on the news
you've heard about our struggle
now's the time
unite
fight back and win
we're communities of people with nowhere left to run
families with children
with nothing of their own
we work within the community
helping out each other
come along and meet us
see what self governments about
we don't use bombs and violence
peace and knowledge we select
but if they use violence to break us
we must resist to exist
my day has finally closed
my home is still intact
but who's to say while I'm asleep
they won't launch another attack
we're ready
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
once fertile land, now barren crust
a "clear cut" path tred foolishly
into the grasp of industry
listen closely, can you hear
the falling of the tree
deep within the forest heart
where no one's there to see
the raping of an eon's growth
squandered callously
another murdered biosphere
consumed by industry
cry of the seabirds, vanished with time
waves no longer crash the shoreline
the sea is now content to boil
weighted down with heavy oil
corpses cast out from the sea
rot on the shore, amidst debris
their skeletons slowly decompose
look into their eyes
what do you see?
I see fear, innocence and agony
look at their souls
what do you see?
punishment without criminality
look into their minds
what do you see?
why the fuck are you doing this to me?
look at their flesh
what do you see?
the blood of needless pain from your insanity
unseen
they suffer
unheard
they cry
in agony
they linger
in loneliness
they die
look at yourself
what do you see?
the bastard who inflicted pain on me
look into your soul
what do you see?
the conscience of a killer who refuses to let me free
look into your mind
what do you see?
selfishness
the pedestal of apathy
look into your heart
what do you see?
surely not a human from your indecency
electrodes in my head
straps secure my arms
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
caged from day of birth
unable to walk free
why can't these bastards
fucking let me be
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
endless, senseless torture on a science slaughter farm
years of animal testing
how can this be true?
you'd surely feel different
if I did this crime on you
animal torture
how can this exist?
a crime with no law
committed by scientists
electrodes in my head
electrodes in my head
Thrown away everything
Challenged hope, challenged fate
Fuck the world, fuck my place
Like it matters
Point your fingers at me,
Contest my integrity,
Question my honesty,
Don't even try it
Feed your life to someone who cares
Nothing, no one, do it myself
One fist in the gold,
One foot in the grave,
One fist in your face,
Destroying
So sick of believing
Feels like i'm eating myself alive
So sick of, existing
Feels like i'm dying
Feels like i'm eating myself alive
Never asked for a thing,
Made myself, made my way,
On my own, trustworthy
I've never strayed
My drive is fueled from the core,
Opened mind closed the door
Confidence to the bone,
To the marrow
Feed your life to someone who cares
Nothing, no one, do it myself
One fist in the gold,
One foot in the grave,
One fist in your face,
Destroying
So sick of believing
Feels like i'm eating myself alive
So sick of existing
Feels like i'm dying
Feels like i'm eating myself alive
Cleanse me, to wash away, drowning myself,
Drowning myself in the waves
Cleanse me, to wash away, drowning myself,
Drowning myself in the waves
So sick of believing,
Feels like i'm eating myself alive
So sick of, existing
Feels like i'm dying
[Instrumental]
[lyrics by Patricia]
"Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn
The power of man; for none of woman born
Shall harm...(Suturn)!
Come, you spirits
That tend me on mortal thoughts, unsex me here
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it."
(Shakespeare's Macbeth)
A sickness inside of me
And inside of the world
And you?
You're above all that
Trying to mess all around
Because of your stupid pride.
And I hate it.
I hate it all.
I hate everything.
All...
1, 2, 3, 4
Now I'm a seasick sailor
On a ship of noise
I got my maps all backwards
And my instincts poisoned
In a truth blown gutter
Full of wasted years
Like blown-out speakers
Ringin' in my ears
Oh it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
It's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
Now I'm a straight-line walker
In a black-out room
I push a shopping cart over
In an Aztec ruin
With my minion fingers
Working for some God
Who could see his own reflection
In a parking lot
Oh it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
No it's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
Now I'm a priest teenager
On a tower of dust
I'm a dead generator
In a cloud of exhaust
I eat alone in the desert
With skulls for my pets
I rate the days, one to ten
With lead cigarettes
It's nausea, oh nausea
And we're gone
It's nausea, oh nausea
It was a bright and beautiful morning in spring
I just went out in the forest to collect some wood for the fire
when I stumbled upon this strangely formed root...
Behind the things they sleep
but waiting beyond your god
Just to hear them breath
records, the end
to lose it all at once
the words
the sounds
the love
the ground
I know what you're thinking
You don't like me at all
It's so painfully obvious
I feel sick as a dog
N-A-U-S-E-A
I don't understand what you're thinking
You don't understand me at all
Are we robots or people?
Is this competition or fun?
So here we are and here we stay
You make small gentle movements
In a silent way
'cause your wonderful and beautiful
And cruel beyond compare
And yet the scent of death is in the air
Is in the air
There's a sadness to your kiss
It's like an ever present bottomless abyss
Yes I feel it now here with you
More here then anywhere
But sadder still, I just don't care
