The Serpent 03:48
What do you care if I get busted Whatever we’ve had is done and dusted Beatin’ myself all black and blue Watchin’ me drown in the Fountain of youth Something’s gotta give And it won’t be me Learning how to live In a raging sea I don’t need to talk To a burning bush To see the goddamn light Stop telling me What it is I need to be I’ll burn my bridges And create my own hypocrisy Stop drilling me Your lies are killing me I’ve seen the serpent And I like what I see Pushing myself Cause I love the pace It’s not about the thrill It’s about the chase If I ever listen to a word you say I’d be in the real world And I’m wastin’ away (Pre Chorus) (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus)
2.
Born To Lose 04:15
How’d you get so fake Living a life that You can’t break Drowning your sadness With those happy pills Crushing your heart Beneath that grinding wheel I’m feeling sick You spin your head And keep turning tricks It’s time to leave It’s time to walk away You losing me Well that’s the price you pay So how can I Get through to you When all you do Is turn in the screws Hey, you had all the chances to shine But you’re so strung out on the line You had all the chances to choose It’s always the same When you’re Born To Lose I don’t even try When you walk away I don’t even cry When I hear them say (pre chorus) (chorus) (pre chorus) You’re Born To Lose (x3) You’re born (chorus)
3.
Supersonic 04:59
Supersonic, Catatonic Remember me, I’ll never say you name The lights are on it I wanna hold it Is it something real Or just a game A knock at your door And all I wanna do is hide Supersonic, Supersonic I can’t feel a thing tonight I can’t say if I’m alright I can’t feel a thing tonight Supersonic, ya never know it I stare at you And all I feel is shame It’s problematic, it’s systematic It’s alcoholic Buried in my brain or Comin’ from my pores And all I wanna do is fly (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus)
4.
Tommy Gun 03:44
I remember the time You tried to bury me Never had a chance Took it away from me You held my hand Just like you did today All the things you did Taken it all away If I had my time again It would be a bitter end Would have grabbed my Tommy Gun When you held me on the floor And I screamed I wanted more Should’ve grabbed my Tommy Gun All the friends I had They never trusted me And the words you said Tainted their view of me Shattered souls caressed Blood on their fingertips All the things I missed I’m making up for this (Chorus) Just like the first time You never forget that first time No you’ll never forget (x3) (Solo) It’s just like the first time You never forget that first time (Chorus)
5.
He takes the time The whole world knows But I don’t think you do He pulls the strings To get your through When did you think You would find out ‘Cause everybody else knew And now I’m right here waiting And the time I’ve spent’s Been blinding but now Time’s standing I never let it Oh I never let you go I’m right here So don’t you worry ‘bout me Tonight I know Time’s standing I never let it Oh I never let you go I’m right here So don’t you worry ‘bout me When you opened the door You heart fell in two I heard it hit the floor Why’d you run right back to him I was here standing With my arms outstretched Am I fading from view? ‘Cause the time I’ve spent’s been blinding And I’m still right here Waiting but now (Chorus) ‘Cause I’m fine (Chorus)

Blackwing 04:19
Hiding away In a little corner of my mind Counting the days ‘til you spread your dirty wings and fly It’s not your time anymore You had your chance And it bled out on the floor Blackwing, ohh blackwing Blackwing Everyday I ask myself Why am I killing myself for you? Why can’t I live with myself? Lie here and pity myself Blackwing fly Trying again To pull a magic moment From my life Drowned in your haze Why can’t you just take your aim And fire? (Pre chorus 1) (Pre chorus 2) (Chorus) Spread your dirty wings and fly (Solo) (Chorus)

20 To Life 04:03
Drug money, girls and cars Oh hey what a wonderful time Father always said you to you You got talent to burn So use it wise You were looking at 20 to life Now your dancin’ on the outside Don’t know what’s comin’ for you Got your hands on the bottle Spend your time getting high And you can’t find peace When you’re looking Down the barrel And the smile on your face Hides the fear in your soul The hard man smile is Going down You run and hide but you’re Always found Everybody changed you Now they’re gonna rearrange you You climbed so high It’s all gonna come back down You hold your head up high Oh hey you’re a lucky man Got away with everything Except the concrete boots At the bottom of the dam They’re waiting for you maybe Not now, maybe not tomorrow But that clock is ticking down And it ain’t gonna matter If you beg, steal or borrow (Pre chorus 1) (Chorus) Can’t find peace When you lookin’ Down a barrel (Chorus)
8.
Everything that I want Has fallen out of my hands Everything that I need Making too many demands All the chips that I hold Stole from a gambling man Flip a 2-headed coin And yeah I lost out again Yeah I’m feeling down Life is spinning around Do it One More Time (x2) One More Time All the money I make Goes in the slot machine And the life that I had Falling down around me Got a two dollar coin Think I can make it a ten Spin another roulette Fuck it I’ll go round again (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus)
9.
Waking up with a dead dry mouth And an aching head oh yeah Can’t believe what I did last night I went and did it again Red Devil sittin’ over my shoulder Wanted me in the clink 12 beers and a bottle of rum I’m sick of this I’m sick of getting sick Get another drink And make it quick Oh yeah Getting out of my head tonight I don’t really care if I get in a fight The week that I’ve had Well it makes it alright You don’t even know What’s happened to me Get me a drink and set me free Rollin’ out of a roughed up bar And I’m walking the streets again This is a hell of a boring town Hey where are all my friends? I got the money To make it a big one Let’s go all night from this Don’t you walk away from me Just stand right there Don’t fucking walk away Get another drink And make it quick (Chorus)

Tidal 03:19
Water lappin’ at the shore Ripples on the surface As she wades on through This place is where She silences the war Stillness is restored Someday’s she will emerge Someday’s the water is too deep The water is too deep It’s Tidal (x4) Fire burnin’ in my soul Crystal surface broken As he wades on through This place carries images of you Deep within the blue Someday’s he will emerge Someday’s the water is too deep The water is too deep It’s Tidal (x4) (Solo) You tell yourself it’s life or death But it’s too late You feel yourself corroding Away in the spotlight How beautiful the blue (x2) It’s Tidal (x2) How beautiful the blue (x2) It’s Tidal (x2) Tidal, Tidal
