Cheating Death
04:35

Darkness sings in my head
Demons sneak in my bed
It seems I cannot help but fall
Darkness sings in my head
Demons sneak in my bed
Once I open the gate to them all
I'm cheating death
I'm below the zenith
I'm cheating death
Holding my last breath
Carve my call in hallow stone
Clench my fists of heavy bone
Heed my word against their will
Carve my call in hallow stone
Clench my fists of heavy bone
But never can they get their fill
I'm cheating death
I'm below the zenith
I'm cheating death
Holding my last breath
<bridge>
You see my shell, my trap is laid
Sure you thought you came to save
My facade begins to fade
Greet the dawn as my new slave
<solo>
"Have you tried shooting him?"
I'm cheating death
I'm below the zenith
I'm cheating death
Holding my last breath
I'm cheating death
I'm below the zenith
I'm cheating death
Holding my last breath
I'm cheating death
I'm below the zenith
I'm cheating death
Holding my last breath
...cheating death

OFF

You stumble
But keep walking
You stumble
trip over your feet
You stumble
But keep talking
You stumble
And lose your seat
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
You fumble
All your words
You mumble
All your slurs
You fumble
Through all your words
You mumble
Through all your slurs
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
(Music interlude)
Through your broken teeth
Through your token thoughts
Through the scars beneath
Through all you have lost
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
I saw you go
You fell off
I heard you fall
I saw you go
I heard you fall
I saw you go
You fell off the wagon again

Oblivion
04:28
|

You... are no where
To be found
You... cant save me
From the hard hard ground
I'm Straining...
Just to hear your sound
You ever only give me ...
pennies on the pound
I hit the wall of Oblivion
I hit the wall of Oblivion
So... sad I
sit here all alone
Brought so down...
Just by your simple tone
No hope left...
You never throw bone
I'm far too young to....
Be acting like a crone
I hit the wall of Oblivion
I hit the wall of Oblivion
(Bridge)
Buried...
Deep inside your past
For...get...you
You lost me so damn fast
Unconditional
My love for you was vast
Blindsided..
How I thought that it would last
Unknowing..
That that stone was the last
The very last stone
That you would ever cast
Here I come... Oblivion
Here I come... Oblivion
You... are no where
To be found
You... cant save me
From the hard hard ground
I'm still... Straining...
Just to hear your sound
I'm still... Failing...
To make you turn around

NOT
03:14
|

Slip into the inky darkness
For-get-the-troub-bles of the light
Move into the void of sparkless
Let-my-self-lose the fight
Disturb me not, Let me rest
I Turn to rot, Forget the past
Lose myself among deep waters
Drift-be-yond-all cares and thought
Forget the will of all good daughters
Swim past brambles that would be caught
Disturb me not, Let me rest
I Turn to rot, Forget the past
Light shines deep, trying to raise me
Lur-ing-taun-ting with interest
Still I turn not wanting to see
Sights-which-bring an-ger to infest
(Light shines deep, trying to raise me
Still I turn away not wanting to see)
Disturb me not, Let me rest
I Turn to rot, Forget the past
{I'm not you, I'm not me
Blinded by life,
My eyes cant see
I'm not you, I'm not me}
Slip into inky the darkness
Let myself lose the fight

Hideaway

Dig deeper - they are coming
Dig deeper - hold your breath
Dig deeper - keep on running
Dig deeper - they bring death
Hideaway Live to fight another day
Hideaway Live to fight another day
Dig deeper - throw them off
Dig deeper - on their toes
Dig deeper - beat their game
Dig deeper - defeat your foes
Hideaway Live to fight another day
Hideaway Live to fight another day
If you do not want to die
You should never have been born
If you do not want to die
You should never have been born
Hideaway Live to fight another day
Hideaway Live to fight another day
Hideaway

SLAP
03:49
|

What you got inside, I wanna see
Could be sweet or sour, set it free
Cant let the system get you down
All those queens and kings, they lose their crowns
You gotta show the world what your made of
Or they crush you up, right from above
You've got to...
Stand right up and
Slap 'em in the face
You've got to...
Stand right up and
Slap 'em in the face
No one speaks for you, so they say
Take all that you want, before it goes away
Nothing is for free, you pay the price
So if you want your cake, you take a slice
First come first serve, last ones to starve
Without the knife its your... Throat they carve
You've got to... You've got to...
Slap 'em in the face
You've got to... You've got to...
Slap 'em in the face
You can chase the dragon, live in dreams
Life still sneaks right in, thru the seams
You can burrow in, close the blinds
Alone in the dark losing your mind
You can run away, fight the tide
No one comes looking, when you hide
You've got to...
Stand right up and
Slap 'em in the face
You've got to...
Stand right up and
Slap 'em in the face
