Little Death 04:49
Lyrics by Phillips Run my fingers down through her lovely hair finding out what makes her hot tease her her til I hit the spot subtle twitches, breathing in my ear tell me all I need to know tell me what she wants the most she didn't have to say she wanted me to hold her down I knew she liked the pain she wanted to be pushed around I took her to the edge and we both jumped off and found a little death when she said OMG, thats gonna make me...... blows my mind right into the ozone layer she's begging me to never stop grinding hard when she's on top hold myself back cuz I know she's almost there I don't wanna spoil the end find that little death again she didn't have to say she didn't want to be held down she just wanted to play didn't want me hanging around she took me to the edge and we both jumped off and found a little death when she said OMG, thats gonna make me..... .....cum.

Lyrics by Phillips I pit my sarcastic wit against your petulant quips and bury the spit that escapes from your lips playing the fool and you look like an A-HOLE! set yourself up for an epic fail redlined, and ready to fly off the handle in the blink of an eye you ain't no ray of sunshine and its holding you back redlined, and feeling the stress, no one knows what your gonna do next you better learn to read the subtext, cuz its holding you back with your purile fits and your delusional script you expect me to sit and keep taking these hits? when I burst at the seams and you say its my fault want you out of my face and you call it assault? redlined and ready to fly........ my sarcastic wit against your petulant quips and bury the spit that escapes from your lips playing the fool and the checks in the mail set yourself up for an epic fail redlined and ready to fly......

Circles 04:25
Lyrics by Phillips Sometimes I feel like I'm going in circles constantly orbiting DNA spaceships turn it on, turn it off, up and down, back and forth tomorrow comes, gauranteed, same ol' shit, rinse repeat its daylight I'm never getting back times up and the suns up, and I am going down... sometimes I feel like I'm going in circles electron celestial galactic rotation revolving doors of jobs and friends, the latest wars and fashion trends round and round and round we go, is there a god? I don't know! its daylight I'm never getting back times up and the suns up, and I am going down... back it up, pull it in, all the way, out again round and round and round we go, is there a god? I don't know! its daylight I'm never ever getting back times up and the suns up, and I am going down its in the water, its in the air, its in the moment you turn out the lights its in the water, its in the air, its in the moment you turn a blind eye round and round, round and round.........

SNAFU 02:35
Lyrics by Phillips, Mueller Who the hell is running the show today? go back in time to see how it started over your mind they hold sway, holding a life or two at bay they've got nothing but make YOU pay brace for impact (situation normal) brace for impact (all fucked up) yes and no I know that both are so for the heads trust the plan and you'll end up in the red holding your mind against your will they make you drink the toxic swill you're gonna make it over the hill brace for impact (situation normal) brace for impact (all fucked up) victims of shock therapy from a war based industry legislating tyranny and profiting from misery from the minds of the few elite to the backs of the most in need no more dignity all fucked up situation normal.......ALL FUCKED UP!!

Wageslave 04:36
Lyrics by Phillips I always get this feeling something just ain't right its just the sickest sinking feeling trying to sleep at night so I wake up in the morning and I write about it cuz i know its the only kind of relief I'm gonna get and I......ask myself, when I pay up, who benefits from my labor? when the ends don't meet and I wind up in the streets.... trying to live in peace you better wise up do what the soul craves make your mind up don't be a wageslave whoa they're making it rough I've had enough of being tired, broke and FED up! and all I'm asking whats at stake? whats it take? to run these jokers outta town and break the bank HEY!! there's not much left of me for you to OWN!! so do your best to squeeze blood from STONE!! til I can't breathe, and I find myself... HEY!! in the streets trying to live in peace you better wise up..... you wanna live in peace? just trying to get a piece? they're gonna take a piece right out yo ass wake the fuck up, cuz you only live once you should be filling your cup I feel your pain when your wasting away at this job that you hate at the end of the day you can't afford your own grave HEY!! there's not much left of me for you to OWN!! do your best to squeeze blood from STONE!! til I can't breathe, and I find myself HEY!! in the streets trying to live in peace you better wise up do what the soul craves make your mind up don't be a wageslave

Lyrics by Phillips Well I'm upping the ante gonna kick the habit soon instead of taking the backseat I'll get up before noon cuz I'm definitely feelin' it like I could fuck the sky going Gary Busey crazy cuz I'm Hunter Thompson high.... in the morning can't walk a straight line so I'm crawling..... I get stretched to the limits holding the end of your rope I'll be the last man standing I'll be your fucking joke but I won't be your mistake no I won't be your disaster when I'm tired of this place I feel like going home... in the morning can't walk a straight line so I'm crawling when I could have weighed it down when it doubt smoke em out searching the abyss for a needle in a haystack making love with my fist but there's no going back once you've weighed it down and I can't forget you when you're so played out when in doubt smoke em out I get stretched to the limits holding the end of your rope I'll be the last mother fucking I'll be your fucking joke but I won't be your mistake no I won't be your disaster when I'm tired of your face I feel like throwing up... in the morning can't walk a straight line so I'm crawling when I should have weighed it down and I can't forget you when you're so played out when it doubt smoke em out

Bottom Yet? 03:16
Lyrics by Phillips I'm looking into an empty bucket I thought it was full but I ain't seen the bottom yet! eat the rich once again they've run amok sucking the life out of every last buck making a land grab for everything they can but we ain't seen the bottom yet man locked the door and got me nailed to the floor, and I'm impaled living a bad dream without no end and no way to defend bit by bit down the drain drop by drop what you got no shame? I'm looking into an empty bucket...... bit by bit...... you'll see ain't no kind of living when they're pressuring me you bite the bullet just to spite your face you're never gonna win the human race you bite the bullet

Lyrics by Phillips Before you talk smack, you better stick to your facts, or you got nothing time after time, just parroting the lines on tv info streams are never what they seem, hiding something flipping the spin, to find the priest is the sin most the time you're warming up by the flames while I'm standing in the fire you say your on my team well.... I'm calling you out you come as my friend with a secret you intend, you're hiding nothing telling me more by the things you ignore, like empathy running your game, exaggerating your claims, gets you nothing demonize me but the world can see your to blame you're warming up by the flames... bear in mind this is no prophecy the fire has burned throughout all history flipping the facts, serving the tax in the age of greed a friend pretending, for the common needs you're warming up by the flames...

Loose Ends 04:22
Lyrics by Phillips Dreams decide what life that we live end the night with nothing left to give standing firm where most have fled, and following a trail of dead move aside, doors are opening I'm following a trail of loose ends dreams decide what life that we live bend the light, fill the void within standing firm where most have fled, and following a trail of dead philistines have walked ahead and plagiarized a life yet lived... .....and I'm following a trail of loose ends

Brutality 05:01
Lyrics by Phillips Nothing good ever comes outta this we're both inclined to lead with our fists like a surgeon, incisions so clean that I'm amazed by your brutality nothing special could ever exist when I'm afraid that you'll lead with a kiss you'll cut me open just so you can see that I'm in awe of your brutality and in this moment we take no interest in what's at stake is it that we have no fear? or we're just too dumb to care? or we're just too smart to think? or we're just too blind to blink? you break my bulletproof glass, I'll raze your castle of sand a common bond of insanity an exercise in futility put on the show that you want me to see this standing O is for your brutality well the blows won't stop and there's holes in the pockets that I can't put nothing in I want to put it behind let the past unwind but I just can't let it in I'm always faced with new constraints and stuck here again its fight or flight and wrong or right just don't enter in..... and in this moment we take no interest in what's at stake is it that we have no fear? or we're just too dumb to care? or we're just too smart too think? or we're just too blind to blink? you break my bulletproof glass, I'll raze your castle of sand you break my bulletproof glass, I'll burn your fortress to ash you break my bulletproof glass, I'll burn your fortress to ash you break my bulletproof glass, I'll raze your castle of sand
