Tithes 01:44
I’ve got too much to say Forgotten how to pray Rust on those pearly gates I won’t forget your hate Was blind but now i see There’s no room for me I faltered and I fell Your heaven is my hell I don’t need a priest to absolve my sins I don’t need your god to tell me how to live I lost years of my life Thinking wrong was right Not up for a debate I won't’ forgive your hate Reject the tithes that bind Your words are not divine I'll never toll that bell Your heaven is my hell I don’t need a priest to absolve my sins I don’t need your god to tell me how to live

In Control 01:33
I can’t shut you up I can't cut you off Shut you off Cut you off I am in control You are not in Control

I check my wallet every minute Hoping that there's something in it Rent or bills or food or fun Doesn’t matter, I can only pay for one Budget me I’m just a number Budget me Every day Budget me I’m just a number Budget my whole life away Heart is pounding as i swipe Will it go through Or be declined Debit, credit, it's the same Just another way that i can’t pay Budget me I’m just a number Budget me Every day Budget me I’m just a number Budget my whole life away Card Declined

Copaganda 02:31
Looking out of broken windows Away from the TV CSI, Law and order Do they bleed blue? I really want to see Cops don't keep us safe We keep each other safe Who keeps us safe from cops? The copaganda is the crime Propagates the thin blue line Don't feed the swine Don't feed the swine Don't feed the swine Don't feed the swine Cops don't keep us safe We keep each other safe Who keeps us safe from cops? There's nothing real about your favorite show Where the star is the cop and the cops a hero How many cops are there on death row? Spilling blood on the streets but its never their own

Land Hoard 01:11
Waters seeping through the floor (I don't wanna live in this place any more) Lock is broken on the door (I don't wanna live in this place any more) There's no number i can call (I don't wanna live in this place any more) When i find roaches on the wall (I don't wanna live in this hell hole any more) Landlordings not a job Land hoardings not a job Smell of black mold in the air (I don't wanna live in this place any more) Mouse shit, mouse shit everywhere (I don't wanna live in this place any more) How is this beyond repair (I don't wanna live in this place any more) When the owners a millionaire (I don't wanna live in this shit hole any more) Landlordings not a job Land hoardings not a job

Why didn't I wear a bra today? What will the other girls say? I don't know where to look I guess i'll just look at my feet Is this normal? Am I normal? Why is my face so red? Why do I wish that I was dead? I don't know where to look I guess i'll just look at my feet

I saw what you did Don’t give me that stupid look Stop playing dumb We know she didn't want it I'll take a pound of flesh (Pound of flesh) Cut it off at the wrist Keep your hands to yourself I'll take em as a trophy We’d be so much safer With them mounted on my wall I'll take a pound of flesh (Pound of flesh) Cut it off at the wrist

15 Pack 01:29
So you're feeling bored? Well i am too And i'm tired of staying inside with nothing to do Sitting at home Can't get out of my head Staring at my phone Gotta crack something cold Promised my mom I wouldn't drink alone If you need a reason I got fifteen right here What else you gonna do? Watch the same bad news? Alberta wont change but at least it's got cheap booze Walk out my door First thing i see Liquor barn, liquor bay, liquor house Staring back at me If you need a reason I got fifteen right here

Ritalin 01:52
I feel like an alien Held hostage by my brain Just give in to science This condition wont allow The thing i need to do right now I'll just wait until tomorrow I am not a citizen Unless i've had some ritalin Till then all i want to do is Burn this whole thing down I am just a waste of skin Until i've had my ritalin Give me drugs and medicine To fit between the lines Liquor, LSD, and weed Are nothing next to legal speed Clear, calm, focused Now the medications gone Everything is feeling wrong Please, give me something I am not a citizen Unless i've had some ritalin Till then all i want to do is Burn this whole thing down I am just a waste of skin Until i've had my ritalin Give me drugs and medicine To fit between the lines

I don't get no sick pay I don't get no vacay I don't get no respect I don't get no benefits I don't get the summer off I don't get to be the boss I don't get paid overtime They make a dollar, I make a dime Running down the clock

Luxury Bones 02:48
I miss it every day But it was in the way And causing too much pain Infected and inflamed So rip it out Rip it from my skull I don't need that one It's a luxury Like an open sore I can't take it Rotten to the core Impossible to ignore So rip it out Rip it from my skull I don't need that one It's a luxury I can taste the filth But i cant solve it So i'll just close my mouth And open up my wallet So rip it out Rip it from my skull I don't need that one It's a luxury These are luxury bones

Going Sober 01:48
Another wake up One more alarm Another Headache Can't feel my arms Tasting blood Hope its my own This ain't my bed But I'm alone One day (One taste) One day (One spill) One day (One shot) One kill Forget my tab I'm late again Just one more cab I'll make it in Gonna get fired But who cares I'm just so tired Of all the stares One day (One taste) One day (One spill) One day (One shot) One kill One day when it's over That's when i'm going sober
