A thirst for knowledge that can’t be fulfilled
He’d slice you open just to see how you’re built
His single glass eye is just a testament to
What his obscene curiosity has got him into
Woah oh oh yeah
Woah oh oh yeah
One, two, three
CHORUS
He’s a dangerous man
He’s a reckless man
With a scalpel in his pocket
And a latex gloved hand
Don’t wait too long
His agenda is hazy
They just think he’s crazy
Ignorance makes him lazy
No, you can’t see him seething
Don’t wait too long
He’ll be taking it from you
What pearls of wisdom is he feeding you this time
Your eyes might be open but your heart is so blind
Your callous soul you put your life on the line
Your foolish heart and your face just like mine
Woah oh oh yeah
Woah oh oh yeah
One, two three
CHORUS
Woah oh oh yeah
Woah oh oh yeah
One, two three

CHORUS
Take it or leave it
Don’t let them in, no
Don’t let them win
You better take it or leave it
Don’t them in, no
Don’t let them win
Yeaaaahh
We’re not messing around taking you for a ride
We’ll show you what’s up then it’s time to decide
Cards all drawn, deck’s open wide
Take your pick to draw or fold this time
No truth or dare not for the light-hearted
Cowering now, we’ve only just started
Check yourself ‘fore this game kicks in
You don’t wanna lose
Cards on the Table
CHORUS
You gotta take that risk if you want it all
Take that plunge no care for the fall
So far you’ve lived by a single truth
Will you open up to the insane and uncouth?
We’re not bluffin it’s a different play
You’re in it or you’re not, there’s a price to pay
Will you keep your cards close to your chest
Or reveal your hand?
Cards on the Table
CHORUS
Take it now, won’t you leave it now
Won’t you take it now, won’t you leave it
Won’t you take it now
Won’t you leave it now
Won’t you take it now
Won’t you leave it
You’ve been playing a single game
Always looking to pass the blame
Now we’re showing you how to win
Will you step up and take that spin
Are you prepared to pay the price
When you throw those loaded dice
Will you stick or will you fold
Will you take it or leave it
Yeaaaahh
Cards on the Table
CHORUS x2

Cut it Loose
03:37
|
|||
You got your hand on the bottle and you’re ready to learn
You got a pocket full of dough that it’s time to burn
Another day, another job, another ass to fuck
You got you mind on the matter hoping for some luck
Yeah, you gotta cut it
There ain’t no mistake you got a job to do
And you’ll be on the rampage until it’s through
It’s all live fast, die young, that’s what it’s about
Now you’re settled on that, there can be no doubt
Yeah, you gotta cut it loose
Yeah, you gotta cut it
PRE-CHORUS
Spend all your money
Drink all your wine
Fuck all your friends
Honey you’ll be fine
It ain’t me needs convincing
I ain’t holding you back
I’ll join in all the way
You know I love a laugh baby
You gotta know right now, you gotta cut it loose
CHORUS
Cut it Loose
You know you gotta baby
Cut it Loose
You know you wanna baby
Cut it Loose
You know you gotta baby
Cut it
You gotta cut it loose
You got your eye on the ball and the skin in your teeth
Holding on for your life just to stay on your feet
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the part, you’ve played the martyr
But fuck that, you won’t take it any longer
Yeah, you gotta cut it
You’re moving to the beat, you’re in overdrive
Living on the edge, learning how to survive
You gotta take it, make it your own way
If they try to stop you now, you’re gonna make them pay
Yeah, you gotta cut it loose
Yeah, you gotta cut it
PRE-CHORUS

Super-Sized Stoner
04:31
|

You say you love that livin and you’re never gonna give it up
You say you’re gonna keep on drinkin from that crazy, rotten cup
But the way I see there ain’t no satisfaction when you know things’ll never change
So keep your eye on movin to the same distractions and you know you’ll never feel the shame
You say the time is now and you’re gonna go kick some ass
Just one more whiskey and one more smoke and you’ll meet me out round the back
It’s too little too late trying to associate with those who would ask for more
Keep your pushin to the weekend and your nose clean for the drinkin and show those fuckers the door
Super-size stoner
Super-size stoner, oh yeah
Super-size stoner, yeah yeah
CHORUS
You got your half ounce ready, got your bottle of Jack
You got the whole damn day, you got your Scoobie snacks
You got it all figured out and you’re gonna own your
Super-size stoner
Too god damn young to settle for complacency today
So keep your ass on kickin and you know you’ll be winnin if you’re livin just for today
It’s too little too late trying to associate with those who would ask for more
Keep your pushin to the weekend and your nose clean for the drinkin and show those fuckers the door
Super-size stoner
Super-size stoner, oh yeah
Super-size stoner, yeah yeah

Toxicate
04:08
|
|||
Taking all you can of me
Anything you want it’s all
Everything I have and there’s
Nothing left
Feeding my stupidity
Losing my ability
Knowing when to stop and to
Win the fight
PRE CHORUSE
Here we are again
Infected from within
You take my hand you strip me down
I’m lying on the cold ground
A sweeping pain inside of me
Until there’s nothing
CHORUSE
Toxicate not
Doing what’s right, just wasting our time
Toxicate not
Doing what’s right, just wasting our time
Toxicate just
Wasting our time at the end of the line
Toxicate my friend… Oh yeah!
This sickness is a beast
Unrelenting feast
A madness in its eyes shows it
Won’t let go
Mornings full of tragedy
Fuelled by this insanity
Efforts to escape but there’s
No way out
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
Here you are you’re wanting more
Again I show you the door
But with this broken soul you know
There’s not much I can do
Think it’s time I realised
That you have got me compromised
No matter how hard I fight
There’s nothing I can say

Forgotten Line
05:45
|
|||
One hidden thought comes to light and you
Surprise me again
Seems it’s never too late, such a
Curious time to wait
BRIDGE
In these words I can see something
You never revealed
An unfamiliar secret
That you kept concealed
You’d sit surrounded by
Mementos of a life
You’d come to resent the parts
The parts you held inside
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
Who knew that forgotten line would be the last time, so long
And who knew that the failing light you kept in your mind, so strong
One day you won’t see this, you won’t feel this, anymore
And chances for the next time and the right line, no more
One hidden thought comes to light and you
Surprise me again
CHORUS
Woah oh
One day you won’t see this, you won’t feel this, anymore
And chances for the next time and the right line, no more

Sycophant
04:00
|
|||
On a blood red dawn
In a forgotten land
Four wheels of fury
Cause a scuffle in the sand
There’s a package on the back seat
Black windows a quarter wound
Out slides gold ringed fingers
This transaction is going down
He’s the law and the provider
Of all they want to hear
He knows all their desires
And is everything they fear
Still they fumble in their pockets
To find last night’s powdered notes
All shakin and tremblin
They hand over their souls
PRE CHORUS
You never see it
You never seek it
You never see it
You never seek your
CHORUS
Yes man, he knows what you want
Take him for granted
You’ll know the cost
Cos he’s your yes man
And he’s got no remorse
Cross him at your peril
You’ll know the cost
Stranded in the desert
Switchblade at the throat
Hands all scorched and blistered
Knees forced into the dirt
A blood filled mouth still screaming
Oh won’t you hear my plight
I must have killed a thousand men
But I sure as hell lost this fight
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
Sycophantic motherfuckers
Grasping at their hems
Your dignity went up in smoke
‘Fore all this began
Desperately fabricated
Your weak sacrifice
A clean façade so they don’t see
It’s their head in the vice
All the delusion got us where we are now
Though the lies may change, the meaning stays the same
You give and you take because you want it all
With an insatiable greed you map out your downfall
With a gun to the back, you’ll answer that
With your blood in the dirt, for all you’ve hurt
With your head in shame, you’ll take that blame
Move that shit around so you can answer to your
CHORUS
You’ll know the cost
You’ll know the cost
Cos he’s your yes man
You’ll know the cost

Wrapped
03:23
|
|||
Hit the floor you know I'm right
We gotta keep our goal in sight
Flying bars for too long
We’re gonna get this party on
PRE CHORUS
We get the calling in the dark
It's that old familiar spark
Forever leading us astray
Well everyone else anyway
CHORUS
So Wrapped around your little finger
You got me 'round your little finger
So wrapped now
Now I won't, won't stop tonight
A sudden thrill let's keep this tight
Not thinking 'bout the daylight
Won't be stopping for some time
You know we're feeling fine
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
Stop your tempting you already got me x3
Stop your tempting you already got, you already got
PRE CHORUS

So damn wrapped

Kick and Scream
04:29
|
|||
It’s a battle of silence, your back’s at the wall
No matter the warning, there’s no escaping this fall
And despite all the pages that you still have to write
It’s these early chapter have you holding on tight
You’re not willing to pay for the cost of it all
No amount of reluctance stops you answering this call
As you bear witness and as you write your life
It’s these wasteful thoughts that you have to fight
CHORUS
You kick, You scream
You cry within
Behind this pile of broken limbs
You struggle on
You kick, You scream
You cry within
Behind this pile of broken limbs
You struggle on
Looking to destine which leaf to turn
Reading the values and all that you’re learned
Seems so hard to push forward now it’s time to move on but
These words in the past they have, have been and gone
CHORUS
Stop now, what are you doing
You’re draining the life right out of me
Stop now, what are you saying
Stay back, away from me
Stop now, what are you doing
You’re draining the life right out of me
Stop now, what are you saying
Stay back, away from me
You kick, you scream
You cry within
Behind this pile of broken limbs
You struggle on
CHORUS

The Butcher
03:45
|
|||
Take a look around can you tell the
Pieces that were there before you fell at
Shooting the hell out of your own gun, now
They tell me you’re the one
A brutal compromise just to win over
The hearts and the minds you once tried to smother
Couldn’t give a damn not when you were playing
Believing all the lies that you would say
The time has come you better hold on tight
Or they will strip and cut you like the butcher’s knife
Identified your prey you move onto slaughter
Don’t forget the cheats your father taught ya
How he made damn sure they all wept and knelt
So you don’t doubt the harsh hand you’ve dealt
It’s not over now another in your target
Hell man haven’t you pushed too far yet
You’re not losing sleep over cards you’ve played
They’re all in your way and must be slayed
CHORUS
The time has come you better hold on tight
Or they will strip and cut you like the butcher’s knife
It won’t be long you better hear what I say
Buckle in, bolt down and just stay out of my way
CHORUS
Tell me just one thing right
When you had those fuckers in your sights
Did you ever think to change the game
Or just who else you were gonna blame
Tell me just one thing right now
When you had those fuckers in your sights now
Did you ever think to change the game
Or just who else you were gonna blame
CHORUS
You just stay out of my way
Just stay out of my
You just stay out of my way
