There comes an end to the greatest things
Or whatever the cliche is
They never meant a single thing to me
I have a knack for smashing mirrors
Just to tamper with the laws of fate
Where there’s a bull, there’s bound to be
The clattering of hooves to fill the streets
Without further adieu ,
I present to you half of what I ever could produce
When you think think you’re down, you’ve got one more
round in you; But, in regards to myself….
This is my year in bottles,
My year of bottom-shelf decline
My body’s in a state of prohibition
And it’s no one’s fault but mine
I choose to stay anonymous to the 12 steps and all the bullshit
between the padded walls inside my head
At 10,000 feet, I couldn’t ask for a single thing
more than another drink and turn the plane around 180 degrees
Without further adieu ,
I present to you half of what I ever could produce
When you think think you’re down, you’ve got one more
round in you; But, in regards to myself….
This is my year in bottles,
My year of bottom-shelf decline
My body’s in a state of prohibition
And it’s no one’s fault but mine
You are a bull, so full of rage
Give em’ the horns and stomp away
No matador will remain safe

Wake (Wake up!)
We’ve got a lot of nerve to pass
the torch and douse the place in gas
there’s no use in turning back
there’s no use in retracing steps
When you think
there’s a sign of hope for mankind you will find
that it’s all just a fucking lie
Who’s to say we can’t destroy human race
It remains in our nature to terminate
anyone who displays
a single symptom of compassion
Woah
We are a pack of wolves
tearing the alpha limb from limb
This nation’s structural integrity is caving in
Do you remember years ago?
I hate to say we didn’t know we’d make
the same mistakes we made down at the polls
There is! no motive to survive
Revive! a nation euthanized
Is there a chance we can survive?
Who’s to say we can’t destroy human race
It remains in our nature to terminate
anyone who displays
a single symptom of compassion
Woah
We are a pack of wolves
tearing the alpha limb from limb
this nation’s structural integrity is caving in

Who’s in line in all of this?
believe me when I tell you that my knees
are about to give out
they’ve mastered the art of buckling
but regardless of that fact
I’m still two steps ahead towards
the edge of hell and... (back)
Oh oh oh
Don’t you know
things won’t fix themselves at all?
So, I’ll leave them broke!
Woah woah
With results to produce,
there’s a lack of follow through
It’s the worst of the truths
but the best of us are doomed
As I sit and I wait
on a rescue team
I begin to believe
that I might be saved
But, we both know I’ll sit here and decay
Oh oh oh
Don’t you know
things won’t fix themselves at all?
So, I’ll leave them broke!
When I grow old, will they wheel me down the halls
of a nursing home as I’m pissing nurses off
while I bitch about what I could have become…?
If so, pull the plug...
Woah woah
It’s the worst of the truths
but the best of us are doomed
with results to produce
there’s a lack of follow through
there’s a lack of follow through
there’s a lack of follow through...

The city’s shutting down
Remain inside your homes
Meanwhile, on the other edge of town
They’re all down on their knees
And all their heads are bowed
The holy rollers haul an empty skull
A vacancy that they will never fill
Abolish all and any thought outside the box
then rot away under the ground
I’ve heard it all before
Nothing’s gonna bring me back
The pot calling the kettle black
They’ve saved me a spot in Hell
Can’t seem to handle the lack of common sense
Evolve a sense of self
The sickening ignorance
Psychotic evangelists
A book full of bullshit and cheap urban myths are enough to convince me that their cognition is dead...
You are the greatest of the hypocrites
I am the model of all you despise;
I’m a walking mortal sin
You’re preaching gospels and
we preach reality
So, get it through your fucking head!
I’ve heard it all before
Nothing’s gonna bring me back
The pot calling the kettle black
They’ve saved me a spot in Hell
Can’t seem to handle the lack of common sense
Evolve a sense of self

This New Years Eve don’t seem
to bring me anything
I wear the fakest smile and I’m completely out of place
We couldn’t care less about counting down,
I’m counting on a fifth of Inver House
Here’s to the memories we have
To the good and bad
To the chaos that we caused as kids
My right hand, my best friend
My consigliere from now til’ the end...
In your lonely moment,
You know you’ve got a friend
To pull you to the end
When you’re pushed to the edge,
Can’t seem to decompress
I’ll be your rescue breath
Stumbling in the streets
Our voices carrying
The anthems we would sing
Could shatter window panes
What life will throw our way is but a void
We can recover from anything
Here’s to the memories we have
Through the thick and thin
To the chaos that we caused as kids
My right hand, my best friend
My consigliere from now ‘til the end
In your lonely moment,
You know you’ve got a friend
To pull you to the end
When you’re pushed to the edge,
Can’t seem to decompress
I’ll be your rescue breath
