Desire to Fire

Come on!
Yeah

We turn desire to fire
Electric sparks to the wire
Highered the stakes when we bought
This monster life
Prevail by daring to fail
Others content just to sail
Hail the future we bring

We bring chaos to blocks
Like, riots to watts
Blow up spots, taking the crown
Off the top notch
Create the pace
That you all will follow
Sporadic flow buckles up
Like a calico
We D-O smoke sensimillo
Vodka and C-O-K-E
Is the real deal
Your flubber, never had to suffer
Life's getting hard
And it's only getting rougher

Save some for me
Cant's stop what we're going to be

   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you
   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you

When my pen hits pad it result in catastrophe
Words and verbs come to form your disaster
If you want it, you got it, never hit I spot it
Now come and watch me rise

On the tools, I blew
More money than Latrell
You tell, I don't know you?
Think I know you too well
You fell, and stumbled
Laughin' as you tumbled
I guess you forget
About the power we rock
Cause "ALL HAIL THE"
Machine Head battery
The good, the bad, the ugly
Savage in capacity
Yeah you been fucked
Stuck in a rut
Your life has been sucked
Your tail has been tucked

Save some for me
Can't stop what we're going to be
Just watch as I demonstrate
The reason we dominate

   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you
   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you

If we stand alone
And believe in whole
Would you tell me
It's all I believe in
Yes we stand alone
And believe in whole
If you tell me
It's all I believe in

We'll chew
And spit you
Across
And prey
Upon
The weaker
Take
What we want
We'll chew
And spit you
The show
The show

?????????
?????????
?????????
We turn desire to fire
Electric sparks to the wire
Highered the stakes when we bought
This monster life

   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you
   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail will you
   Walk with me
   And take this seed
   A fire for you
   So dare
   To fail
 
 
 
Nothing Left

Withered away
I see it everyday
Complacence desecrates
The fabric of our lives

Emptiness
Fills inside me
Bitterness
Has denied me
Faith that this
World could ever
Really give a shit

   When I feel it
   Come falling
   I turn you
   Away

      I hear the things that you found
      Might leave a face without a sound
      Don't push my back against the wall
      This iron strength will never fail
      Will never

      Fail

Freezing inside this soul has
Petrified as concrete
Fills the skies this life in
Disarray

Consequence
Every action
Brings violence
From the passions
Loneliness
The emotion
Shivering inside

   When I feel it
   Come falling
   I turn you
   Away

      I hear the things that you found
      Might leave a face without a sound
      Don't push my back against the wall
      This iron strength will never fail
      Will never fail

I feel around
The falling sun
For so long
I've been away (away)
For years till now
Been holding on
For so long
I have been away (away)

I've nothing left for nobody else
I've nothing left for nobody
I've got nothing left for nobody else
I've nothing left for nobody
I've nothing left for nobody else
I've nothing left for nobody
I've nothing left for nobody else
I've got nothing left for nobody
I've nothing left for nobody else
I've nothing left for nobody
I've nothing left for nobody else
?????

   When I feel it
   Come falling
   I turn you
   Away

      I hear the things that you found
      Might leave a face without a sound
      Don't push my back against the wall
      This iron strength will never fall
      I hear the things that you found
      Might leave a face without a sound
      Don't push my back against the wall
      This iron strength will never fall
 
 
 
The Blood, the Sweat, the Tears

Oh yes I walk the path that righteous
Many men have walked before
And this pain's held a broken shell straight
Shackled onto the floor

So welcome to the world that I lived in
Puking up bile and hate
My world has turned to false inclusion
Sickening broken state

But then I'll see
There's things in me
That make you want it
More than you
But I deny all this
Cause pain's my bliss
Get wasted on self destruct

   Just hold on to the edge

      It's all about the blood
      The sweat
      The tears
      Attribute to the strength
      Built through
      The years
      It's all about the blood
      The sweat
      The tears
      Attribute to the strength
      Built through
      The years
??????????

Yes I walk the path that gives me
Confidence strong and pure
Now I realize that freedom rises from
Confronting the source

I built these walls around me
And I can break them all away
And I'll focus all the strength I call
Into unstoppable energy

So hold on to the edge

   It's all about the blood
   The sweat
   The tears
   Attribute to the strength
   Built through
   The years
   It's all about the blood
   The sweat
   The tears
   Attribute to the strength
   Built through
   The years
   ??????????????

???????
???????
???????
To take
 

Hold on
Hold on
?????? falling
Hold on
I'm not falling
Not falling down again too

      It's all about the blood
      The sweat
      The tears
      Attribute to the strength
      Built through
      The years
      It's all about the blood
      The sweat
      The tears
      Attribute to the strength
      Built through
      The years
      ???????? time will sear the wound
      Cause time will sear the wound
      Cause time will seal the wound
 
 
 
Silver

Yes I hold some keys of gold
With cigarettes and silver bullets
Angels cry and devils lie
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find
The part of me that's whole
I wish I knew
But I got threw behind

   Oh yeah
   Take my hand
   Across this land
   Escape this
   All the hell inside
   Create this man
   To make my stand
   And break this
   Hardened shell in time

I see a mirror to me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of our souls
Let me know the hurt that shows and
Wish it all away
Cause now you'll see why the pain and me
Collide

   Oh yeah
   Take my hand
   Across this land
   Escape this
   All the hell inside
   Create this man
   To make my stand
   And break this
   Hardened shell in time

I see the walls around me
Fall around me
And everything's alright
I see the god among me
Fall among me
And everything beside
I see those walls surround you
Tie and bound you
You'll drown cause you're so
Cold
Cold
Cold
Yeah oh

   Yeah
   Take my hand
   Across this land
   Escape this
   All the hell inside
   Create this man
   To make my stand
   And break this
   Hardened shell in time
   So take my hand
   Across this land
   And break this
   Hardened shell in
   Hardened shell in
   Hardened shell in time
 
 
 
From this Day

?????

1 2 3 4

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You gotta stand tall and cut away the ties
Drop walls and hold that head high
The world is fast and youth ain't gonna wait
So grab a hold before it gets too late
Bare your soul and strip away the cold
Of withered life that past so grey and old
Cause all the pain that's filled these eyes you see
Has only made them bleed just recently
Tears that made me
Ashamed to be me
But that gave me
Strength to see me
Made a spark that
Let the dark and
Let me shine

   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside
   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside

Cause it's time we come together
Be on because I'm about it now so do it now or never
I fall asleep to freeways far from here
Spend half the night just drinking beer
From this day on shall be the words
My flesh and bone shall make it heard
Don't you test I'll have to mess with you
Do my best so fuck the rest of you
One of these days you'll see I've always been right
Right

   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside
   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside

????????????
????????????
????????? you
You

And it makes me glad
When I see the sun
And makes me sad
When you fell on my one
And I thank my god
Got a girl like you
And I think my god
Did you save me

   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside
   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside
   Time
   To see
   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside
   Time

   Believe this in me
   This pain that I feel deep inside

Exhale the Vile Yeah

Can't match the stare within these eyes
Derive your strength from all your lies
Can't stand the pain with which I seethe
This integrity is what I breathe
I'll inhale this life I gave to you
And exhale the vile

Time will tell the cards my friend
Never will I concede the end cause
Cataract resin fills my eyes
Never gonna see the mirror thru your fake lies

   Tell me the things that will take time
   To help see the things that will take this
   Burn inside of me

Can't feel the sting from words gone by
Can't keep the papers filled with lies
Ten fold this coincidence I bring
Create and back the words I sing
I'll inhale this gift I gave to you
And exhale desire

Kill this fire with gasoline
Conviction I spit my faith's obscene, you
Heretic jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire

   Tell me the things that will take time
   To help see the things that will take this
   I hold on to things that will make by
   To make me the thing that breaks this
   Burn inside of me

I don't

Go
Go
Away
Away

Time will tell the cards my friend
Never will I concede the end, you
Heretic jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire

   Tell me the things that will take time
   To help see the things that will take this
   I hold on to things that will make by
   To make me the thing that breaks this
   Burn inside of me
   Burn inside of me
   Burn inside of me
   Burn inside of me
 
 
 
Message in a Bottle

With no one here but me
More loneliness

Rescue me before I fall into despair

I Defy

Be my one, would you take my sun
Would you tell someone whether we had fun
With you heroes, double zeros
Running circles a round you fears
I'm never ever falling again
Would you take my grace
Look into my face
With your limp handshake
And your smile that's fake
Would you back my fight
Say your down for life
Well it's easy to say
When your words don't mean nothing

   Anger makes me
   Long for a better way
   You'll fear my strength
   If I'm backed into a cage
   Because I

      I defy
      I defy
      I defy
      I defy

See my fate
Underestimate
I intoxicate
While you emulate
With the losers and users
Sucking up to the abusers
And I'm never ever falling again
For the tricks you play
Or the fronts you claim
And you just can't fade
The respect I've made
You're a parasite
You conform on site
You're the link in the chain
That was weak and always will be

   Anger makes me
   Long for a better way
   You'll fear my strength
   If I'm backed into a cage
   Because I

      I defy
      I defy
      I defy
      I defy

So burn out the poison

I can't get away
I'm sick
What are you ?????
I can't get away
I'm sick
What are you ?????
I can't get away
I'm sick
What are you ?????
I can't get away
I'm sick
What are you ?????

I can't take this
I can't face this
I will break this
I will break you

      Cause I defy
      I defy
      I defy
      I defy I
      I defy
      I defy
      I defy
      I defy
 
 
 
Five

I remember, it was the month october
In a garage, I was standing scared and somber
I could smell your breathing
And the pain your leaving
So ashamed, I'm feeling
And now I am left to fate

   For all the times
   I'd be losing my mind
   You molest and destroy
   Just a five year old boy
   And you make me suffer
   Motherfucker
   Ripped my heart out
   It was so good

I remember words that never left me
For a scull of silver here's what you'd do for me
If you tell, I'll kill you
Rip the child out from you
Wish that I could stop you
Please god make this go away

   For all the times
   I've been losing my mind
   You molest and destroy
   Just a five year old boy
   And you make me suffer
   Mother fucker
   Ripped my heart out
   Innocence was lost

And I feel it
I can't take it
I don't want it
Anymore

Was only five
And I feel it
I can't take it
Anymore

For all the times
I heard you say in my goddamned mind
Make it sooner if I suck you
I'd make you suffer
Make you suffer
Motherfucker

   For all the times
   I'd be losing my mind
   You molest and destroy
   Just a five year old boy
   And you make me suffer
   Motherfucker
   Ripped my heart out...
   I was only five...
   For all the times i'd be losing my mind         (five five)
   You molest and destroy just a five year old boy         (five five)
   And you make me suffer, motherfucker         (five five)
   Ripped my heart out...         (five five)
   I was only five...
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five five
   Five
 
 
 
The Burning Red

I see the sun begin to rise
And I'm blinded too
I've seen the world thru jaded eyes
That I'm crying thru
I've watched the darkness hypnotize
And confided

   Hold on I'm falling
   Can't breathe anymore and an
   Ocean has opened
   These scars need
   To heal over

Caress the needle prick in my skin
The tears fell like rain
I've rode the Phoenix as she glides
And I've gone insane
I've seen the light of suicide
And I'm dying

   Hold on I'm falling
   Can't breathe anymore and an
   Ocean has opened
   These scars need to
   Heal over
   Hold on I'm falling
   Can't breathe
   Breathe
   Colder and colder
   Just hold onto me
