1.	Self Taught Misery 01:58	lyrics
come one come all bear witness to the social spectacle you came for explosions and shiny words reflect them off each other remind yourself who you are identity crisis dodging bullets in my brain self-taught misery and everything in-between I just can't bring myself to hear this how can you bring yourself to sleep at night bold faced lies you just make it look so goddamn easy serenity you're so far away from me face-to-face with the worst of the worst its safe to say we'd all prefer you just gave us the bad news first self-taught misery and everything in between dull the double edged blade of my mind fuck off i'm wise to the nature of your schemes is this really all you want to be just another fucking fiend for attention
2.	Death Rattle 02:55	lyrics
write me off this whole fucking game is sick you all know the devil he's a mutual friend and he's got what you need to meet your ends 'cause when the price of life is so low don't seem no thing to sell your soul that's just the way it is and that's everything that we've ever known they'll put your mind to the grind and they'll work your fingers to the bone do you really believe that do you think that they're on your side when you know it's our blind minds that allow their kind to continue to thrive they've got no value for life it's time, open up your eyes and realize we've been left behind and nobody fucking cares when everyday brings a new way to waste our time "reality" TV "in touch" magazines you've got to be fucking kidding me distribute dissolution on every page you're so goddamn desperate just to relate hypnotized by the mainstream please tell me more about all your bling they've got you subdued you're living in a dream oh what i'd do to give you a fucking taste of reality heart-felt rebel don't let them sound your death rattle the futures not what it seems watch as ignorance reigns and dividing lines define everything and i've done some thinking to myself and I realize that life is compromise 'cause you got to play the game to beat it.
3.	A Million Miles 02:21	lyrics
waking up memories of dreams last thought i'm fucked in my head had one where I woke up dead i'd like to get up and hit the street if I could only get on my own two feet in a world of distorted war the changing seasons all that decides when you're on your knees well they can't relate to our empty hate to this cold peace if the bullets started flying here what would you do if they did what they were doing there whats left to choose live short in suffering rich man's boredom poor man's pain here we lie somewhere right here in between what's the difference between a human being and human meat we pretend to define as if we didn't have our lives to occupy our time take out the pawns but only count the kings they've got your lips in stitches and you don't mind the sting keep that needle in your eye and tell me you're fine tune out tell yourself its gonna be alright
4.	Lampshade 03:33	lyrics
so lets cut this off 'cause you and me are just a little off maybe one and one makes two but honey I just can't see anything in you when all you are is a blank slate wiped clean from all the things they say world of disguise you internalize yea you sold off yourself another girl on the shelf ain't it just a goddamn shame they'll think I'm only saying this to get laid can't stand the things you say can't stand to live like this day-to-day another reprisal another memory a bad place that you've been forced to stay look at me with those empty eyes none of this is any kind of surprise a sullen ghost with no home haunting amongst so many lost souls all with no emotion lost and broken soul it takes one to create one don't lack fear for what you haven't seen the worst is yet to come every time we fake this love will we ever know when it's real could you lift the weight of my soul could you be the one to make me feel whole oh baby please don't tell me that there is a toll beauty in the eye and nothing but the eye the beholders blind to whats inside like moths to a light its dulled our sight white noise in the night I want to know are you drawn to the light or to the lie so they say there's more fish in the sea so tell me who poisoned this well
5.	Accident Prone 01:14	lyrics
i'm moving out west this is just a test so over and over disorder is getting old the only lesson learned is learned the hard way if you could would you choose to fight with or against fate noone else but You it's just you really Can't you will never Change who you are it's all in how you Take it when nothing but The acceptance of the Truth in knowing you are nothing but chance yea I'm accident prone
6.	McLove 03:12	lyrics
I like your figures I call your number lets make a date in time for summer she said nah lets chill at your place kick back and relax pop in a movie but we both know what that means now i'm in McLove baby your love is so cheap now I'm in McLove just name your price and I promise I'll pretend to be nice another night she calls me up repeat the cycle again I guess we know that we should guess something must have been good I can hold you when you're sick we can throw on romance flicks just stick to the script 'till we snap out of it done the dirty now we're out of the mood whats it tonight should we cook something up or should we order out some food money's tight but it's alright i'll get the pizza pie but you can't keep your purse zipped 'cause you can get the tip now i'm in McLove I got your love and disease now i'm in McLove just name your price and I promise I'll pretend to be nice did you miss me can't stand not to have me by your side the only thing that molds is the fear of lonely nights you've got me wrapped around your sleeve flesh body accessory learn to love the taste of sweet insincerity verse chorus verse this is a curse it's time to go to church no matter where that we've been our god will cleanse our sins now i'm in McLove baby your love is so cheap now i'm in McLove don't fucking cry your loves a pathological lie now now we got little johnny we love the kid but he don't know that time is money but thats okay because he'll cope with his McLove just the way our television taught us now we're in McLove we've got the loving disease now we're in McLove a billion served you wouldn't dare be left out of the herd repeat after me repeat after me buy in and believe that true love isn't free.
7.	Alls Fair 03:17	lyrics
besieged by the beast of the age a climate of deception pouring acid rain watch as the generation's greed/breed in tune to the trending disease the scales of your ego swing back and forth sawing at your core anything that you could ever gain would only make you want more alls fair that ends fair

9.	New Maps 02:41	lyrics
why would you question questions or the lack thereof so dull so satisfied with your life I cannot breathe I cannot live outside some house of weird those walls seem much bigger than most everything you've offered me I cannot see I cannot believe how easily we're quarantined you refuse to groove to any other's beat whatever world your talk is fucking cheap seeing only through your eyes the only basis for what you think you think you've got it all figured out but baby you can't see through me so here I am asking why what if I gave your world my mind what would you have me do what would you make me choose other than what fucking benefits you so here I am asking why what if I raised above your bottom lines what if I made the moves to truly choose as I tie off your noose everything that you've done is corrupt and wrong I'll carve my place amongst the gold that you have deemed scum with our heads to their loaded guns just look them dead in the eyes won't soon forget this face when I'm fucking gone caught in the cycle caught in the trap for those fortunate enough to be lost it's time to write your own map
