Screen of lies Disfiguring what you visualize See with your own two eyes Beneath the mourning cries Obey the master of rings For it is he decides the things Of what will be will be Controlling what you see And when the earth is gone A part of what you see Perversions of the dead Crawling maggots within your Screams Within my circus of fear Screams Within my circus of fear Paying with their lives To see with their own two eyes As the events unfold Believing what they're told And when the earth is gone A part from what you see Within the screen of lies What you visualize Obey the master of rings For it is he decides the things Of what will be will be Crawling maggots within your Screams Within my circus of fear Screams Within my circus of fear

Dead Flowers 04:16
The way you look at me Reminds me of younger days And the slipping of the parting waves They only worship Lies without a fear The world doesn't understand They seek to reprimand I'm starting to feel what's going on I can't tell what's going on Whose Whose dead flowers The way she looked at me Reminds me of younger days And the slipping of the parting waves They only worship Lies without a fear Whose Whose dead flowers Whose dead flowers Whose dead flowers

They're jumping from buildings And fall to the streets It's just an abstraction Can't you see? Are you desensitized An American sheep They're praying in church While the money burns at their feet When warheads fly Through the sky Children are starving While days turn to weeks There's kids out there With monkeys on their backs When playing with fire Do you just sit back And relax Do you? ABSTRACT - REACT ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION When warheads fly Through the sky When people are fighting En Masse in your street When it's all gone to far And there's no turning back When playing with fire Do you just sit back And relax Do you? ABSTRACT - REACT ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION ABSTRACT REACTION

Have you ever been afraid of the world And what it can do to you Looking out through hardened eyes At a world that hates you So you realize You're starting to hate it too The stress is so thick You're ready to snap At least you're still sane enough To see it coming And you say to yourself Somebody please help me Crawl out from under the volcano It feels like my heart is dying inside If you could just hold it in your hands You would see How it's leaving me As the loneliness sets in I desperately cling to anyone's touch It seems like it keeps on raining When the sun's on full All alone it's desperation I hope my friends can forgive me I'm desperately hoping for someone To pull me out from under the volcano Under the volcano

They say it's the music Music in the rain All these kids are dying Take their own lives Take their own lives Take their own lives Cause all the little boys and girls Won't come out to play And everyone's alone in the world 'Cause they won't come out to play God, Death & Audiotape God, Death & Audiotape God, Death & Audiotape Just take a trip down Matamoros Way There's a friendly place where you can stay Or maybe to Jonestown for a friendly little drink What do you think? What do you think? Cause all the little boys and girls Won't come out to play And everyone's alone in the world 'Cause they won't come out to play God, Death & Audiotape God, Death & Audiotape God, Death & Audiotape

Swarm 04:51
Like a horde of maddened bees Swarm like locusts spreading disease An infectious sea Swarming over you Swarming over me Life Suffering Death A swarm so thick you can't breathe SWARM SWARM SWARM SWARM The moon The skies over foreign land With our guns in hand Ain't life grand? Like a horde of maddened bees Swarm like locusts spreading disease An infectious sea Swarming over you Swarming over me Life Suffering Death A swarm so thick you can't breathe SWARM SWARM SWARM SWARM

There’s a place beyond LA Where the dry desert winds blow And the souls of children Lie in the days Where dreams should be simple But reality gets in the way And here if you listen closely You can hear the little ghosts play Little Deedrie was her name Mommy was on methamphetamine She was ready for Small World Before the monsters came She looked out the door With her pretty eyes And neatly combed hair Nobody heard her scream And no one even cared
11.
Why don’t we cry anymore Why can’t we admit that something’s wrong Why can’t we just act normal How much longer can this go on Before we realize what we’re doing Before we realize this is wrong So I sent my soul on a new road Cut my feet upon the ground Sold my soul Faded out with fear And I I’ve got lots of friends in the next room Who kept feet above the ground Why don’t we cry anymore Why don’t we admit that something’s wrong Why can’t we just act normal How much longer can this go on Before we realize what we’re doing Before we realize this is wrong So I set my soul on a new road Cut my feet upon the ground Sold my soul Faded out with fear And I I’ve got lots of friends in the next room Kept my feet above the ground

You sound so tired these days When the weight of the world Sits on your shoulders And it's awfully hard to keep Keep your eyes open So you look past the stars Through the nightmare sky And you wonder if it's true Would things be any different If there really was a man A man in the moon And the pressures so strong now You just want to cry But the tears you shed Would just rust your eyes And it's awfully hard to keep Keep your eyes open So you look past the stars Through the nightmare sky And you wonder if it's true Would things be any different If there really was a man A man in the moon
