Song: "Scapegoat"

Verse 1 Wasted all your time within You need a bigger mirror Eyes are open to your shame Realize you can not win It quickly turns to anger The time has come to lay the blame CHORUS Verse 2 You will see in me today What's in your heart tomorrow Facing all that is your own And now I know you'll make me pay For all that you must borrow Will not make yourself atone CHORUS Bridge Both my eyes are burnin' red All I am will soon be dead Don't even leave a trace of me Use it all to set you free CHORUS CHORUS

Song Lyrics

Song: "Monster"

CHORUS My love is a monster baby Baring down on you My love is a demon darlin' Wants to get inside of you My love is a sickness honey Which there is no cure My love is a witness lady Testifying you are pure Here me coming? I'm coming for you Here me coming? I'm coming for you Here me coming? I'm coming for you Here me coming? I'm coming for you

Verse 1 I'm the shadow that follows you home The sinking feelin' wherever you roam The shifty eyes, in the painting on the wall The muffled silence that answers your call CHORUS Verse 2 I've been watching when you're all alone The heavy breathing you hear on the phone I'm every person you pass on the street Not suspecting? That's when we'll meet CHORUS Bridge Your eyes will open, screaming my name I'll be smiling and doing the same Oh god! Where have you left me today? In the clutches of this moral decay You only realize when you hear me say, hey, hey... CHORUS

CHORUS Hold me Scold me Make your body rap around me Take me Rape me While my eyes are held wide open Turn me Burn me As my brothers gather 'round me Waste me Taste me As my eyes are held wide open

This song is about those people so empty that they need to use up the one's they love to try to fill the void inside of themselves. If they are miserable and their love is happy, they take the happiness from them until their love is more miserable than they, making them feel better about themselves. They will use any means necessary, any manipulative tool they possess, every advantage they are blessed with which another's unconditional love provides to them. But the great irony is that no amount of another person will fill the void inside themselves, a fact they can never understand as they continue to consume the one's they love till there is nothing left.

This song is about losing oneself in the love for another. It is about the furosciousness and obsessive nature of love, losing yourself as a person till who you are is merely an effect of your love for someone else. Love is not just the warm and fuzzy that society tends to glorify. It has power and force that is hard to control situationally. It is intoxicating, affecting our reasoning abilities and grasp of reality and can appear to those involved as the only thing that matters, abondoning rational thought. This song reminds me that when you are given the love of another person, it is important to remember the scope of that gift and all it entails.
