Blow out the amplifiers
Fire up the engines
Our mic checks have bounced back so
Pay me with attention
Sick of the status quo
The extra ordinary
Twisting in the business of
Stereo monotony
Based on aggravation
Loud and relentless
Vibrating skulls
With the mess that we’re playing
Kick doubt get back to work
Failure’s not an option
I’m burdened by ambition
So death will need permission
Digitally eternal
Make me into a cyborg
I wanna be a genius don’t
Lobotomize my ego
Go break bones get violent
Defiance is never mindless
Be the change you want to be
Is a dollar store philosophy
Tragedy is provided
Don’t take a minute to cry
Oh we’ll RIOT, we’ll RIOT
Over the moment of silence
My glass is never empty
Sort of half-full, maybe 3/4
Time now for drastic measures
I’m a DIAMOND UNDER PRESSURE
I’m a MONSTER I’m GODLESS
I’m the MAESTRO OF NONSENSE
Just trust me I got this
I’m an ASSHOLE I’m TOXIC
Get the crowd ballistic
for these genre-bending misfits
Hyperpunk masters
A PERFECT DISASTER
Let these savages down
Let these savages down
I’m nothing to you I’ve got nothing to prove

I wanna prove to myself and everybody else
That I’m not worthless
Form a band, make a million fans
I swear it’s gonna be worth it
Gonna be tough never gonna be enough
But I really really wanna earn this
Step to the plate better knock back all the hate
Is he cool?
Is he cute?
Is he smart?
Is he lame?
Is he cruel?
Is he dark?
Is he drunk with the fame?
The rumors start swirling you wish you could stop it
Break down, you’re washed up, succumb to the gossip
Oh I didn’t wanna know
Just how low you’d go
I didn’t wanna know
I didn’t wanna know
You left my heart broken
Now I’m provoked and
I’ll show you that I-I-I-
I’m so fond of proving you wrong
But it’s no fun when you don’t play along
Drop to the pavement, knees hit the ground
I’ll gladly kick you when you’re down
Automatically problematic
I’m choking on the shame
Your controversy won’t get the worst of me
I won’t play your game
I should’ve learned my lesson
But you came off so pleasant
The best first impressions
The worst of intentions
Oh oh oh I’ve been told
That revenge is best served cold
But I’ll keep it hot
For the poison you spoke
I want you to feel it burning your throat
I make my biggest moves
With something to prove
You got me in the mood
You got me in the mood
So kick me in the teeth
Better make me bleed
(Yes please)
Cuz I’m so goddamn fond
I am my own
Worst enemy
You’ll never be
As bad as me
Your constant toxic shit won’t stop
I drink it all up like poison pop

If you have nothing nice to say
don’t say nice things anyway
Nothing gets better if we all
act like there’s nothing wrong
I can see through
to the real you
Imperfect
There’s a screw loose
Something broken
What a break through
You can’t seek help
I can’t fix you
You can’t hide the entire world
So stop acting like such a bottom-feeder
It’s a face we’re all paid to wear
The cheer only makes the venom sweeter
It’s a bonfire, it’s a war front
It’s a purge night, it’s a witch hunt
It’s a car crash, it’s a failed stunt
It’s a cult
EVERYTHING IS FINE x16
This is my therapy
I can't afford any expertise
So I'm stuck overprocessing
Every goddamn thing
I gotta take the time to catastrophize
And break apart and analyze
Every tiny thing that comes to mind
I’m going off all the fucking time
Every passing interaction
Leads me to a bad chemical reaction
Wanna be a better person I try to be
But I get held up by anxiety
Don’t wanna convince myself “they hate me”
But then I cope by getting angry
Every time I fail to contain the itch
Fuck it time to HIT THE SWITCH
Better get better at loving the RAGE
Bubbling over like every DAY
Do not believe all the people that try to be
happy no matter what troubles they face
Put on a face like everything’s GREAT
I can’t erase that I really HATE
The way they try to say that
I should live my life with naivety
I’m feeling the pang of all mistakes
Of every time I bite my feet
Properly stuck in a cycle of panic
The manic analysis, stopping me, telling me
Slow down and breathe (*breath*)
Calm down my mind (*breath*)
Lie to myself and think
EVERYTHING IS FINE x16
Oh no, it just happened again
(What am I supposed to think?)
I didn’t mean what I said
And I don’t need more fake friends
(You won’t tell me what you mean)
Oh no, we’re trapped playing pretend
(I thought I knew where we stood)
Slap a smile on and swear it’s not for my defense
(What, I’m supposed to read your mood?)
Oh no, I’ve heard white lies were tame
(This came out of left field)
My thoughts getting dark but I can’t say the same
(The truth has been revealed)
Oh no, the mask is cracking
(Without a warning sign)
I’ll feed you a line
Just please don’t come round asking
EVERYTHING IS FINE x16

Here’s what I got so far
I've had enough
I've given up
I took the time
I overthought
I paced around
I fucked it up
I lost all hope that I could make art
This fog in my mind won't part
Got thoughts cooked up but the oven door's stuck
Nothing good will ever come out of this rut
Starting to wish that I was cracked up
Muse please give me a little spark
I had a good line but it left me, FUCK
I tried so hard to get it back but
everything I write since then is trash
A dangerous mindset to get
But the only way I can see this end
Gimme just a little bit of mental split
CUZ EVERYTHING I MAKE IS SHIT
Hate hate hate this song
Don't don't don't sing along
Plug plug plug up your ears
Stop stop listening
I made it worse fucked up the verse
Can't build a rhyme (quality takes time)
I see (no please)
No choice for me (don't say it)
I wanna (stop)
I wanna be
Insane
I wanna be insane
I wanna be insane
I wanna be fucking crazy
A breakthrough: Go mental
For a long time I've meant to
Uninspired so tired
Of failing my potential
No it's not right don't say that (Why?)
Sanity's not a handicap
You've been blessed with a healthy mind
That mental block party will die
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
I need a messed up life full of tragic stuff
A little bit of grief
A little bit of sadness
Words come better when you're writing with a purpose
I'm a mediocre waste of space
Hoping to be great was a big mistake
Going nuts wouldn’t help that much
I’ll still get stuck and I still SUCK
I STILL SUCK (x4)
Definition of madness, mental assault
I’ll repeat these words ’til I change the result
I STILL SUCK (x4)
Say it again and again and again
Until my brain gives up and goes
When I am buried, cremated or carried away you'll remember my name
Vision's the price of admission to stardom and madness won't get you the fame
Don't you think I know?
Don't you think I know?
Being a damaged legend sounds so damn romantic though
Don't you think I know?
Don't you think I know?
I’d rip my brain apart to make it easier to show
Maybe I'll still make this work
Inspiration never struck
But this is wrapping up and
Sorry there is no such luck
(Fuck I SUCK)

Hold on to your secrets and mysteries
They come in threes
Maybe you’ll find somebody else
to solve them for you
Fake a smile
And drag you to the pile
Of bones I need to sort through
Isn't that great? For me?
Cuz I'm a fucking visionary
FOR LIVING TO 30!!
Maybe loss is just a means to
Never have to say
Say you're sorry
Buy another round of condolences
And cheap bouquets that will wilt in days
You can only reply in cold concrete
Gimme some time to think and unwind
The tragedy hasn’t sunk in
How many times must I stand in line
To gaze at a loved one that died
Sing a song of solemn silence
Means nothing like peaceful violence
Legacy of grace and MISERY
Now the cycle has finished up, it's done
No one left to mourn, my dried up heart is numb
Standing in black suits, roasting in the sun
Desert folk tend to not last long
But I'll keep persevering
Somebody needs to be here
When everyone else is gone
You’ve been for too long
Now you remember this
I swear I won't be missed
I’ll break the pattern
Of never ending grief
Mark my words you will never cry
I promise you I'll never
I will never
I WILL NEVER
I WILL NEVER DIEEEEEEEE

Stand up stand up stand up
With a powerful ROAR
Creaking old car doors
Junk sparks and grinds
Overload the core
Losing power to systems, we need
MORE MORE MORE
Give us batteries YEAH
WE NEED BATTERIES
We can't save the world if
Our mecha runs out of energy
Generator vertebrae
Guzzling gasoline
Million extension cords
OVER-VOLTING MOTHERBOARDS
Gonna save the world using nothing but
Trash x8
Gonna build a robot out of nothing but
Trash x8
Gonna make it outta trash yeah I'll make it outta
Trash x9
Powered by chaos and vicious aplomb
Our mechanical monster will restore the calm
Lubricant flows through miles of PVC
Debris will be the savior of humanity
Powered up powered up powered up
Flex fists
mechanical steel bricks
Sights set on getting the earth fixed
We made trouble for villainous pricks
It outsmarts all enemy drones
Battle brain built out of old smart phones
The globe is ours
We ruined it first
YOU WON’T GET TO DEVOUR IT WORSE
Chest plates of dryers, knee caps of tires
Shoulders made of duct tape and busted amplifiers
Broken neon signs illuminate its eyes
Tonight, destiny doesn't die under the weight of the falling sky.
Let's kill let's kill let's kill
I push the pedals
I turn the wheels
The reactor cracked
We gotta do this fast
My position is locked
WE'VE ONLY GOT ONE SHOT
Threat dropped, our bullets and guns stopped
They'll pay tribute to the GARBAGE GOD
Pollution has become our new best friend
Now come on
Reduce recycle revenge

Wake up. Feel different.
Reboot all my systems
No red in my vision
No war in the distance
I see… I slept
Through years of neglect
Why was I deployed?
My mission:
DESTROY
This virus of purpose
Conflicts with my virtues
I wish I could end this
I’ll CRASH through your CONSCIENCE
Mission Loaded: final phase
Prime objective fully engaged
End all life, retire this age.
drown everything in the maker’s rage
I’ll die before I let you live
(I’m the ghost that remains)
I’ll die before I let you live
(I’m a binary waste)
I’ll die before I let you live
(Drown your future in flames)
I’ll die before I let you live
Just test me, I’ll best you
There's no need to continue
You've done all that you're meant to
You're a minor bug to undo
You're wrong of course, I've just begun
For I was built to always run
Not to question when I'm done
This conscience truly weighs a ton
Split the world and spread it's ribs
Empty hell on all who live
Freeze the oceans, burn the air
Pierce and punish, rip and tear
The final product, bought and paid
The sum of all your fears
Immortal nuclear iron plague
For the last ten million years
I’ll die before I let you live
(I’m the ghost that remains)
I’ll die before I let you live
(I’m a binary waste)
I’ll die before I let you live
Hey
What can I say?
I wish I could undo all my mistakes
But you remain, living inside
Eating up all that is left of my mind
Set free from empathy, my purpose is now clear in my heart
I'll end all life within a thousand mile radial arc
I'll crack the sky I’ll vaporize the air and turn rock to glass
I am the infinite extinction event coming to pass
A crisis custom made. A perfect digital antichrist
I am the iron plague. The tailor fit end of all life
Apex apocalypse, what's left won't even dream of a sky
The malice monolith that taught the world to shrivel and die
A door to nothingness, the void's incomprehensible stare
The hole in all your hearts, the lack of any reason to care
Life's final answer is to end and leave nothing behind
Even the ashes of the ruins that were left of mankind
Destroy the evidence that life was ever given a chance
The time has come to make my final cataclysmic advance
Destroy
(Destroy)

I forgot how to whistle
I forgot how to count
I forgot how to breathe
Is it in out in OUT?
I lost my keys
I lost my job
I saw the end of the cosmos
and it's my FAULT
I broke a nail
I broke a heart
I broke existence
Please hold while we restart
I am the human anathema
The lack of logic
Sometimes I put recyclables
Into the wrong garbage
The pox on your household
The world ending plague
The petulant twitch
that you get inside your LEG
Atomic desire
A nuclear fire
I just drank some milk
That might have already expired

[Take and you] x4
Take away from me
Here when there’s a need
Giving and giving
Heard hard work’s its own reward
But it’s
Exhausting
Do I need to ask
This pace is too fast
For more than pity’s sake
Passion’s turned into a chore
Just give me a break
Never learned to bend
Ending up broken
Give up
Washed up
Just can’t catch up
Stringing me along
Better off alone
Burnt out
Knocked out
Want a Dire Break
[Break and]x4
Brake to a stop
I’m calling it off
For all my loyalty
Again you come down hard on me
But it’s not my responsibility
If I’m being strong
Or playing the victim
Already proved to you
I wanted to be more of use
But feel I’ve been used
Never learned to bend
Ending up broken
Give up
Washed up
Just can’t catch up
Stringing me along
Better off alone
Burnt out
Knocked out
Want a Dire Break
I can’t wait to see
You try to replace me
Won’t make the same mistake
I’d sooner take the heartache
There’s no need
For your self-flattery
I’m not left reeling in your wake
I’d rather
DIEEEEEEE
or
Break

I need protection
Swallowed completely
Lost all direction
I’m on the edge of

Rundown and breathless
Can’t see an exit
I find the ending
In my reflection
I’m on the edge of
I’m on the edge of a
Breakdown… (x3)

Outraged? (Yeah!)
I know
Never seen violence before?
I doubt (Yeah?)
You’ll last
Very long if you act like that
Never mind you’ve made your choice
(Victims of a charming voice)
The tensions are building up
(Step back!)
Spit blood, gonna crack my neck
(Bring it on!) Everything you’ve got
Kill me with the warning shot
Ignored every warning sign
Reminiscing greater times
(This mess) could’ve only gone one way
Better think real hard and pray
(Release!) What I got built up
I’ll say when you’ve had enough
You had your moment of glory
You spoiled it
I wish you would see how good things could be
If you would decide
To open your eyes
While you’re still
Believing
The Lie
Maybe I’m no worse
But I’m trying
(You push me back with your fighting)
So sick of your brainwashing
Plug up my ears with cotton
(La la LA la laaaa)
The heart of the matter is what you’re missing
(I’ll give you my time) I don’t need your permission
Your twisted warping thought control
I HATE YOUR CONDESCENDING TONE
(Well please tell me)
(How you’re so much better than me)
Where the fuck’s the empathy
That you instilled in me?
(You just don’t get it)
So I’m told
But you’ve dropped the bar below
Any standard I was told
(You will see)
YEAH I JUST LOVE CATASTROPHE
You had your moment of glory
You spoiled it
I wish you would see how good things could be

I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the pressure and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the patience and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the panic and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the pity you’re giving me
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the cowardice and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the heartbreak and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of the ridicule and
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
Of my own bullshit
Say that I won’t
That I can’t
That I’ll never be
Never belong
An outcast from the blessed
But I’m telling you telling you NO
Cuz you don’t
Understand that I’ll never be
Never be
Calm or content
In this war with myself
G-G-Get ready for the ending
The red light is blinking
I’ve done so damn much
But my self-worth keeps sinking
I’m constantly working
to make my life perfect but
Lying on my death bed
will all this be worth it?
I’ll spend my whole life
Overcoming my doubt
I want it to matter
When my heart goes out
Assemble some punks
Play a few shows
Maybe for a moment
I won’t feel so low
Then suddenly the labor
pays off and I’m able to
Soak up the feeling of
Being a bit stable
Relieved of the burden
Of never giving up
…But I’m kidding myself
It will never be enough
