Call it payback or paying forward I'm taking justice in my hands You showed no courage, I'll show no mercy To right your wrongs, I won't miss this chance Asking for it I think you're asking for it Call it vengeance or call it karma Eye for an eye, hope you never see again You showed no dignity, I'll show no courtesy Or listen to objections, 'cause you're asking for it Asking for it I think you're asking for it Is there anything worse than taking what's not yours? I'm taking it back and I'm taking it by force I won't stop when you say "no"

No one cares if no one sees your BRAINS ON THE WALL Don't waste their time, just aim to please BRAINS ON THE WALL They want blood and they know you've got it BRAINS ON THE WALL Don't wait, hold back, don't try to stop it BRAINS ON THE WALL They want your brains on Your brains up on the wall They want your brains on On that fucking wall They want your brains on Your brains up on the wall They want your brains On that fucking wall!

Shut your mouth (you’re wrong) Zip it up (you’re wrong) I’ve had enough (you’re wrong) Called your bluff (you’re wrong) Had a chance, blew it quick Every word makes me sick Cut it out, go away I don’t have the time today Still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong) Keep it in, buried down Don’t let your ideas out Bigot, homophobic mess When you talk it’s “more is less” Still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong) You’re still wrong (You’re wrong)

Frustrate 01:17
Can't make a change, can't make it go my way Stuck in this quicksand with no exit, no escape No trust in reason, no faith or hope in fate It's just me screamin' at a wall until I break The pressure is building, the stress is still killing, the only real feeling is hate: frustrate Tension is mounting, aggression compounding, the sirens are sounding away: frustrate! Can't make a change, I never get my way Stuck in my head, do nothing but complain Stuffed with self pity, I'm my own enemy I'll probably have a nervous breakdown while I wait The pressure is building, the stress is still killing, the only real feeling is hate: frustrate! Tension is mounting, aggression compounding, the sirens are sounding away: frustrate! Distress and blame Hopeless again There's gotta be a better way Listless, enraged Helpless again I'm still not giving up today... Frustrate!

Enough 01:15
I fight, I'm fucked Down on my luck What am I to do? It's nothing new Hope is gone, no end in sight I've got no energy to fight You think I know Will I ever learn? All these bridges I'm gonna watch them burn Hope is gone, no end in sight I've got no energy to fight Resentments build Consumed by rage Just like a rat Trapped in a cage Hope is gone, no end in sight I've got no energy to fight Things that are so fucking tough Sometimes I feel I've had enough
6.
We're gonna die Every day closer yet We're gonna die Hourglass inside my head We're gonna die Strangled by the hands of time We're gonna die Trying not to waste a life But we're all gonna die We're gonna die We're headed for our headstones We're gonna die No skin, just dead bones We're gonna die The life cycle ends fast We're gonna die But never slowing down for death But we're all gonna die (Don't wait, don't wail, don't wanna) We're all gonna die (Not if but when, we're gonna)
7.
You caught me blindside And it brought me to my knees I never knew you wore that ugly thin disguise Cutting through Hidden agenda buried in the lies I'll cut through your bullshit And I won't apologize Cutting through I can tell by your face none of it was true I don't like this shit I don't like you Can you tell by my face I'm fucking through? I don't like your game I don't like you I guess I never liked you Cutting through
8.
No Idea 01:16
So you think you know hurt? I'll show you what it means Think you know the feeling? Well you would if you looked at me You're a coward on an ego trip No idea that's it done Won't accept responsibility It's up to me to show you you're wrong Don't pretend you're sorry I've yet to hear any guilt I'll just choose destruction Tearing down all that we've built You're a coward on an ego trip No idea that it's done Won't accept responsibility It's up to me to show you you're wrong Closed your eyes, closed your ears Closed your mind, you've got no idea

I'll watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn Now it's your turn I'm gonna watch you burn I don't believe A word you spew I just watch The things you do Actions speak Louder than words Now it's time To watch you burn I'll watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn Now it's your turn I'm gonna watch you burn That pat on the back Has only held me back Over time I've seen my progress lack You're a wolf Not my friend Now it's time For this charade to end I'm gonna watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn Now it's your turn I'm gonna watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn I'm gonna watch you burn Now it's your turn I'm gonna watch you burn You're a wolf in disguise As my friend Now it's time For this charade to end
