CITIZENS X

Forget the past, listen up
Catch the damage in a paper cup
Won’t quit til I get enough
Gonna know my name
Society is a hole
Teenage riot, mind control
Pentatonics…fuck that shit
About to hit the fan
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Never listen to a single word I say
Up on this ledge looking down
You were never there… why start now
Bet you thought… won’t go far
How’s things look from where you are?
Flaming youth, come as you are
It’s heating up in here
Aneurysm, on a plane
Touch the ground, make it rain
Out of order, ashes burn
Bring it to the ground

DEAD HORSE

On my own again, where do I begin
I fucked up… sleeping in the car again
All my shit in a box, call the cops, change the locks
Insane… you’re insane
Like the time before, always keeping score
Most times we don’t know what we’re fighting for
You & me just aint right
Null & void, disqualified
Insane… you’re insane
Like two ships passing in the night
I’m too tired… don’t wanna fight about it
All hands on deck this ship is sinking
Man overboard, arms flailing
Hear me screaming, hear me yelling
Throw in the towel this round is over
Now I’m bouncing checks, still with no regrets
In my rearview a memory I won’t forget
In the past, second chance, should’ve know in wouldn’t last
Insane… I’m insane
Now we’re moving on, when it’s done it’s done
Useless hanging on, life support… let’s pull the plug
From the ashes find yourself, find yourself with someone else
A change… need a change

DEVILS LULLABY

Staring at the tv screen, trying not to fall asleep
Pot of coffee, no effect, eyes heavy palms wet
In the shadows I will wait, til your brain I penetrate
Once inside you’re al mine, keep you til the end of time
I want you for my own
I want your soul
Kick and scream, it’s no use.. gonna have my way with you
I’ve come to take you home
Feel my hands all over you, paralyzed you try to move
Try to scream, there’s no sound, My embrace forever bound
Hallucinations, what is real? Answers never to reveal
Begging, pleading for the end, eternity begin again

ZOMBIE

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaking?
But, you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying
In your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, ei, ei
What's in your head?
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do do do do do do do do
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying
In your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, ei, ei
What's in your head?
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ei ei oh

ALIVE/UNDEAD
05:22

Heart is racing, all alone… about to lose my head
Running through a cemetery, away from the undead
Gray skin, hiss, and moan, stumble after me
farm house off in the distance.. where I need to be
Walking corpses closing in on me
Living dead relentless entities
Help, someone save me from this dream
I’m in hell trying to break free
At the house, board the windows up… leave the dead outside
They push, and push til the walls collapse… they want the flesh inside
Kick and scream, but it’s no use… they’re all over me
Won’t someone wake me up, save me from this dream.
I wake up, body’s cold.. struggle to my feet
Not a thought in my head, just an urge to feed

I WOKE UP A MONSTER
06:07
|
|||
I woke up on a metal slab
With some else’s feet, someone else’s hands
Pieced together, stitched in place
Woke up with someone elses face
Thunder crashing, pouring rain
Electric shock awaken my brain
Pull the trigger, hit the switch
Eyes open, and I start to twitch
I woke up a monster X8
In my castle hideaway
Laboratory, plot and create
Cold cadaver on a slab
Blank canvas superman
They all laughed, shook their heads
Said I couldn’t do, but I did
Reanimation, let’s play god
It’s alive, everyone applaud
I woke up a monster, I woke up a monster in my dreams
I woke up a monster, I woke up a monster, set me free

DEVIL ON MY BACK
05:02
|

Night is falling, I can feel it cover me
Hands around me, push, squeeze they smother me
Kick, scream in my bed til I’m on the floor
Can’t let me fall asleep the sandman’s at my door
Hands like razor blades dragging over me
Whispers in my ear, thoughts controlling me
His voice calls me to the other side
If sleep catches me, won’t get out alive
Feeling your arms around me
Walls closing in surround me
Your ropes they tie, they bind me
Is this real or just in my head?
Up on my feet to face you
Won’t hold me back, I’ll break through
I’ve had enough of this life
Please remove yourself from my head
At the end of my rope, never letting go
Made it through the rain, the pain… vertigo
Rising to the top, standing tall on my feet
Never give up, no surrender, no defeat
Feeling paranoid, unclear, delusional
Standing in my shoes… pain unusual
Face forgettable, just a mark on the wall
A fading memory ‘til nothing’s left at all

BATES MOTEL

Through the rain you saw the vacancy sign
Tired, lost… thought you’d spend the night
Out of gas, directions wrong
Come inside, I’ll make you feel at home
Here’s the key to your room
On the monitor I’m watching every move
Ignore the screams in the hall
I tend to lose my mind when mother mother calls
In the shower all alone
Unlock the door, tip toe across the floor
Pull the curtain and I cut you up
Down the drain… a life, your time is up
Mother, mother… what’d you do?
Clean this up… we’ll be good as new
No suspicions… leave no trace
Never here… never saw her face

S.O.S.
05:27
|
|||
I’m waiting in the wings… waiting for the phone to ring
Can’t remember anything, come unglued
Hear voices in the hall, the shadows on the wall
This isn’t me at all… without you
Lost in space, all alone, world in black & white
Cut the cord, say a prayer, take me home tonight
Mind is racing, think I might be going mad
I’m waiting in the wings, the other shoe will fall
I can’t believe my eyes, this isn’t me at all
Like a broken record my heart skips a beat
Just like seasons change, nothing ever stays the same
Words they echo through my brain, brain, brain, brain
Things will never be the same
Slow motion pictures fade, the world goes on without me
A castaway… stranded… sending out an s.o.s
I’m naked, and alone… a ghost without a home… Wherever I may roam
Lost in space, all alone, world in black & white
Cut the cord, say a prayer, take me home tonight
Mind is racing, think I might be going mad
I’m waiting in the wings, the other shoe will fall
I can’t believe my eyes, this isn’t me at all
Like a broken record my heart skips a beat

BODY SNATCHER
05:56
|
|||
Gonna wait til the sun goes down
Not another living soul around
Got my coveralls, my flashlight
Grab a shovel, head into the night
I’m a body snatcher, robbing graves it’s your corpse I’m after
I’m a body snatcher
Get you home… dress you up
Paint your face with mom’s makeup
Lay you in my bed, we can spoon
We can watch t.v. all afternoon
When I’m bored, I’ll cut you up
You’re not the only girl to get my love
I’ve got a basement full of ex-girlfriends
Won’t be long, I’m on the hunt again
Sweet perfume, formaldehyde
You’re preserved, petrified
Turn your flesh into a nice lampshade
I’ll make a mask with your pretty face

BATTLE CRY
03:58
|
|||
Cover my ears to stop the screaming
Bullets and bloodshed in the streets
Why do we teach hate, disrespect, segregate
Answer the door, it’s your heart beating
I just won’t live this way
And I won’t run and hide
We’re not mindless sheep
try and push us into cages
I’d rather stand and fight
Kids killing kids, our brothers dying
Men on the front lines, bring them home
What’s all this fighting for?
Can’t they see it’s not our war?
They’ll take our guns, and then our homes

BITCH
03:38
|

Bitch… why you always let me down?
Doing better on my own
Better with you not around
Caught up in lie after lie
It’s all the same to you
Boyfriends on the internet
Chat rooms… IMVU
You always say you’re sorry
But you do it again, and again
You always say you’re sorry
But you do it again, and again
You don’t do nothing for me
I’m just an obstacle
Your time has just expired
Like a melted popsicle
Bitch… why you always let me down?
Doing better on my own
Better with you not around
I tried, and I tried, and I tried
I did my best for you
Second guessing, second best
Could never get the best of you

DOMINO
12:12
|
|||
I hope you don’t mind, I’ve got my hands tied
The waters rising, and I can’t get loose
In over my head, monster in my head
Open the door because I’m coming through
My heart pounding, figures surround me
You hear me screaming, but it’s no use
I’m just a pawn, I’m just a play thing
I’m just a target for your abuse
Stand us up like dominos we’ll fall
Men like mice in a maze, bang our heads against the wall
Acting like we haven’t got a clue
Next in line, disposable, time is running out for you
Running on empty, you’re going nowhere
The sky just opened, and it’s raining truth
See through your lies, your deceptions
Dead on arrival, pull the plug you’re through
Heart is sinking, all alone
Lost your friends on the way to the top
Just a man with a price on your head
You’ll get yours, the pain will stop
