CHASE

Chase McKittrick was my very bestest friend
Why he killed himself I'll never understand
What was he thinking with that gun in his hand?
Makes me wonder for how long he had this planned

Why'd you do it Chase I'm sure death sucks as you have now found out
Why'd you do it Chase I miss you as these words come out of my mouth

Chase I miss you never forget you spend time each day thinking about you
No matter how long it takes I'll hang with you again Chase

Didn't even leave us a note to tell us what you were thinking about
All you left us was some time to sit around and pout
and wonder why you never asked us for any help
cause we would have done anything

STAY TRUE

Talk about staying true as if it's a joke to you
Sometimes I wonder who defined those words to you
You seem to be content switching from crew to crew
I'll show you what it means to stay true

Say that you've seen the light
Know this time you are right
Pushed aside your old ways
Say that was yesterday
Wear the X on your hand
Makes you feel like a man
Tell the others that they're wrong
I know you won't last long

The weekend comes and the X washes off of your hand
You're going out drinking you're going to the bars with your friends
A week ago this wasn't part of your plan
Said you were going to stay true to the very end

THIS MAN DESERVES TO DIE

The man walks into the courtroom smiling smugly cause he knows
he'll get no more than suspended sentence
The young boy enters the room holding each of his parents' hands. 
Just what's happening here he still doesn't understand

The judge looks and the child and he looks down at the man.
The man looks at the child and he knows he's in command.
For the crime of raping this innocent young child
the man is sentenced to see a psychologist for a while

Justice compromised
the family begins to cry
hatred realized
this man deserves to die

Actions not denied
the man retains his pride
revenge is justified
this man deserves to die


LUCKY

Never said thank you for all that they've done
You always thought that you were the only one
Never polite you were always acting rude
Just as long as they're still buying things for you

What would it take for you to realize?
Tears of pain in your parents' eyes

Not enough that they've taken care of you
Not enough that they've always pulled you through
Not enough they let you be what you want to be
Not enough and you wonder why they can't see

You don't know how lucky you are
Without them you wouldn't have come this far


I KICK MY JUMPSEAT
How many times have we made plans and you've cancelled them with tied hands
You told me that something came up when will you see that it's not enough
It's not just me you do this to but everyone you run into
I'm just telling you cause I want it to end and then maybe we could be friends

Put it off till tomorrow you can do your work tomorrow

Why do you always wait to do your work until the very last minute
You know well that right away is the time that you should begin it
You're always much too busy doing something but that's always nothing
One day this will be the end of you maybe you'll see then what I said is true

We all suffer from your procrastination
Can't you see it causes complications
We all suffer from your procrastination
You should work more on cooperation

One day I know you'll see the mistakes in your ways
and you'll come back begging and pleading for the good ol' days


2 BILLION A DAY

2 billion a day towards weapons of war
this just can't go on anymore
What lies behind this outpour of cash?
2 billion a day how many worlds must be smashed?
Weapons used as a means of destruction
2 billion a day another sign of corruption
So many topics we choose to ignore
just 2 billion ways to make an ignorant poor
How many guns could we possibly need?
There are people to clothe and there are mouths to feed
Too late now we've planted the seed
We've sunk so low that I cannot believe

2 BILLION A DAY (X8)


DEATH TRAP

It breaks my heart
To see you dying there
It breaks my heart
To see that you don't care

You don't know what you're doing to yourself and the environment
Companies try to make us need because of overwhelming greed


YOUR HONOR

Just because there's artwork peeking out from under my clothes
It shouldn't give you a reason to loathe me and
Just because my chosen mode of transport is a skate
It shouldn't give you justification to hate
It goes much deeper than the ink in my skin
all my crazy piercings or the places I've been
What you have to look at is what's inside
What I believe in and the rules I abide

You don't know me
You can't judge me


MORE

You just wanted to fit in
thought that you could never win
couldn't come out of your shell
You could never talk to girls
even though they rocked your world
wasn't going all that well
Then you found out if you drink
you don't even have to think
words just come out on their own
The illusion it creates
makes you think that you're so great
even though you're still alone

And I see you're getting worse you don't even know yourself
Now you're really getting worse and you can't control yourself

You just wanted to fit in
you see what you could have been
but you threw it all away

Now they've got you coming back for more


NEVER LET YOU GO

When I look into your eyes
I see a world in touch with mine
That is all I need to see

When I put my hand in yours
You make me feel so reasured
That is how I like to feel

When I hear you on the phone
You make me feel so not alone
That is how I want to feel

When you're standing by my side
You make me feel so alive
That is how I need to feel

You make me want to never let you go
