OSTRACIZE
Music: Keith Chapman and Eric Durbin
Chorus: Keith Chapman
All other vocals freestyled by Josh Wilson while recording

Ostracize and Demonized,
and Pusht aside by the worldly wise,
Ostracize and Demonized,
and beaten down by the worldly wise,

I tried to make something of my self in your society
but nothing seems to matter to you
I work hard every day livin' life like I wanna see,
but you don't have it in you,
You tell me that I'm weird and I'm different and that
that's not acceptable in your world
I wanna be something but I'm gonna be what I wanna be,
I don't have to be conformed!

Ostracized and Demonized,
and Pusht aside by the worldly wise,
Ostracized and Demonized,
and beaten down by the worldly wise,

When I was young I acted out but I was tryin'
to get a point across to the world you see,
I wanted to be me but they tried to mold me,
but I don't wanna be, I wanna be freak,
Tie me down, put me in a little padded room,
Tell me I'm not in control, give me drugs to make me feel better
But I'm telling you I don't want them no more!

Ostracized and Demonized,
and Pusht aside by the worldly wise,
Ostracized and Demonized,
and beaten down by the worldly wise,

So I moved out on my own and I changed my hair color,
Not livin' under my parents roof anymore,
They're not upset, they're not real happy, but I'm livin' for sure,
I pay my own bills, I live my own life, and I walk my own way,
and I'm here to say, I'm here to say, I'm here to stay

Ostracized and Demonized,
and Pusht aside by the worldly wise,
Ostracized and Demonized,
and beaten down by the worldly wise,

Look at me like I'm a bad piece of art,
hang me up on your wall and never look again,
Put me in a closet and tell me that I'm something
you never wanted to have for a friend,
I'm tellin' you now I don't need friends like you
I wanna be my own buddy,
I'm gonna be something, I'm gonna be something on top!

THERE YOU ARE
A poem written by Allison Werth taken from her book of poetry "No Visible Scars" Used with permission.
Lyrical arrangement: Josh Wilson
Music: Eric Durbin

I turn my head and there you are,
I close my eyes and there you are,
I think about the big bat with the nails next to my bed,
and there you are, straight to your head!

There you are,
Yeah, there you are,
When you die,
There I'll be!

I check my doors and windows and there you are,
I enjoy my dark and there you are,
I smile, everything's fine and there you are too,
Shadows in the corner lookin' at you!

There you are,
There you are,
When you're dead,
There I'll be,

I pull my blankets over my eyes,
No one can hear my cries,
I think about the big bat with the nails next to my bed,
and there you are headed straight for my head,

There you are,
Yeah, there you are,
There you are,
There you are,

I turn my head and there you are,
I close my eyes and there you are,
I pull the covers over my head,
there you are and I wish you were dead!

There you are,
There you are,
When you're dead,
That's where I'll be,

As they lower you heavy box into the earth,
That's were I'll be cheering for the worms,
As they lower your heavy box into the earth,
Your cold dead body,
ROTTING IN HELL!!!

BLACK RAGE
Music: Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Kurt Schlotzhauer

All this black rage will destroy you,
It will control your mind and mold you,
In the end you'll be nothing more,
Than a shell filled with hatred and all sin,

Can you see the hate in my eyes, I'm an animal!
I'm going to live inside your soul,
Going to take you down all the way to the ground,
Corrupt your very soul, make you pay
For my troubles so you'll remember the day!

Can you feel the anger inside?
It will consume,
Consume your very soul,
Right now, Lose control,
You're subject to sin,
Yeah, subject to sin,
Please God, can't you help me
Find some peace,
Some peace within

Can you see how your life has become?
Can you feel me in your soul?
Better not lose control,
Better know where I'm found,
Know when I'm around,
I'm looking through your eyes,
Are you so blind?

Can you see the hate in my eyes?
I'm an animal living inside,
Gonna take you down all the way,
To the ground and make you pay,
for my troubles so you'll remember the day,

I'm a dark force controlling your mind,
I live behind the smile,
I'll inflict the pain,
No matter how much you fight,
I'll dominate you,
I'll make you hate you,
I'll take you when you least expect me to!

Can you feel the hate in my eyes?
I'm going to live inside,
Take you down all the way to the ground,
Make you pay, Make you pay for my troubles!

Black Rage,
Comin' like an animal
Black Rage,
Corrupt your soul,

OPINION
Music: Eric Durbin
Chorus: Eric Durbin
All other vocals freestyled by Josh Wilson during recording

I don't care what you say,
you never really mattered anyway,
I don't care what you see,
you never gave a rip about me,
I don't care what you say,
I don't care what you see,
I don't care what you say,
I'm livin' life my own way,

Back in effect, Pusht steps up
Jump to through the roof steppin' in the streets,
and up bump the beats, you feel it too
Jump in the pit and bounce n' bounce around now,
try to be yourself, never wanna be like everyone else,
You gotta feel it! Yeah!

Step out on top, Chop off your hate yeah,
Hold your head up high
ur rat nat der rat nat da da da
You know the rhyme!
I've got something to say about everything,
You've got it too so speak your mind
and tell me what you wanna say
what you got to prove?

Livin' life my own way,
and that's a fact yeah!
I'm straight to the top,
with much respect,
for myself now,
We're gonna start to rock,
Holdin' us down like its a final payback
we got it goin' just for that,
We're gonna be on the top see
not you but me!

I'm livin' life my own way!

PUNISHMENT
Music: Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Kurt Schlotzhauer

Will not, Can not take this anymore!
Punishment!

You walk around so smug,
Like you're on a major drug,
You're above everyone else,
Consumed in yourself,
You have no consideration,
Walk on me when you please,
Keep me in the dark and,
Get away with murder!

Will not, Can not take this anymore!
Punishment!

You still punish me
for what happened years ago,
When will the debt be paid,
In full?
You should take a step back,
Take a look in the mirror,
and think twice before you,
Throw your stones!

Will not, Can not take this anymore!
Punishment!

You should take a step back,
Take a look in the mirror and
Think twice before you,
Throw your stones!
I changed what you didn't like,
Compromising myself,
To the point that I don't
Know who I am!

Will not, Can not take this anymore!
Punishment!

PUSHT
Music: Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Eric Durbin, Keith Chapman, Josh Wilson

Pusht Me,
Pusht Me,
Pusht Me,
And then some,
Pusht Me,
Pusht Me,
Pusht Me,
Far too long,

Pusht is an attitude, Now see what we mean,
When we jumpt on the set, redefined the whole scene,
If you ain't down with that then you best step back,
Because the first to step up is the first to get jackt,
But if you come correct and you come to groove,
Then jump in the pit and let's see you move,
Like the big bad wolf, come to blow you down,
Not after just you but your whole damned town!
PUSHT

Pusht stands for sound when we take the stage,
Loud guitars all up in your face,
Lightning speed you can't keep pace,
With the thump and the slide of that crazy bass,
Like we said the drum heads are smokin'
The vocals are real, we're not down for jokin'
This is our lives it's what we've made them to be,
If you ain't down with that then punk you step to me,
PUSHT

Ain't no pimps and we ain't no thugs,
And when we get high we don't need no drugs,
Not "high on life" that's too cliché,
It's the fans, it's the pit, the attitude and the stage,
the reason that we rock so viciously,
Is the fans pump the attitude and the attitude me,
Of course we're braggin' and yes we're boastin'
but as we continue to rock I see your ass toasted!
PUSHT

We're all that and then some too,
You may have the skill but not the attitude,
You may have been pusht, well I have too,
and I'm pushin' myself and I'm pushin' my crew,
That's why we're headed straight to the top,
Once we got started we couldn't be stopped,
"Pusht storms the nation!" can't you see,
as long as even one of us breathes we won't be...
PUSHT

P stands for Power, that's what we got,
U stands for US and we can't be bought,
S stands for Strength that comes from our hearts,
H stands for Hits, jammin' from the start,
T stands for Top, that's where we'll be!
If we don't believe, you'll never see,
Cause this ride that we've taken
Won't be given for free
PUSHT

P, U, S, the H to the T,
I stand for Pusht and Pusht stands for me,
Holding back won't get it done,
Prepare for attack, we're goin' #1
Right to the top,
Yeah, that's where we'll be,
Kickin' out the hits, just wait and you'll see,
Cause I say, I say I've been PUSHT

FALTER
Music: Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Eric Durbin

If you don't fit in, you won't fit in, you can't fit in,
Know that we are your friends,
Cause we are, we are here!
If you've seen the crap and won't put up with that,
You say you know where it's at
Cause we are here

If you need a friend,
one you can't offend,
won't cost you a cent,
Cause we are here!

If you can descend then raise up again,
Bring a friend and do it with a grin,
We are here,
Tired of all the hate, it makes you irate,
Then you can escape
Cause we are here!

If you cannot find just the group to bind,
Leave the rest behind
Cause we are here

If your life's a bore, fitting in a core,
more like a chore, then do it no more,
Cause we are here,
If you love hard-core, looking for a roar,
Here's one for sure you've not done before,
We are here!

If you need a friend,
one you can't offend,
won't cost you a cent,
Cause we are here!

Trends are not a sport, they always come up short,
Then brother ditch that sort!
Cause we are here!
With or without a dime we always have the time,
For one of our kind, we give it no mind,
Cause we are here!

If you cannot find just the group to bind,
Leave the rest behind
Cause we are here

If you don't falter, cool as a cucumber,
If you say you can't, well, then you won't brother!
Just know that we're not here!
(but) if you need something, give and take, no strings,
Just stop a sec. and hear the words we sing,
Cause we are here!

If you cannot find just the group to bind,
Leave the rest behind
Cause we are here
If you need a friend,
one you can't offend,
won't cost you a cent,
Cause we are here!

FAKE
Music: Keith Chapman and Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Eric Durbin

We've been around a while,
Seen you before,
And now that it's so cool,
You wanna be hard-core,
You don't have what it takes,
We expect more,
And now we've come to your town,
To settle the score.

We take what we need and we make it.
Makin' it all from scratch and we don't fake it,
Playin' it so hard and so real that you can't take it,
And when you start to complain, we're gonna break you down!

It's taken me far too long,
You don't deceive me,
And what I'm tell in you now,
You must believe me,
You stand out like a sore thumb,
Wanna be freaky,
Actin' like we're best friends,
but you don't know me!

You are playin' yourself,
You should fold,
All of your fake emotions,
Just leaves me cold,
and your cocky insecurity
Is not bold,
I've seen more originality
Out of a mold

Your kind makes me see red,
just like blood,
And we're gonna wash you out,
Just like a flood,
Talkin' like you got such a bang,
Cause you're a dud,
And what you're doin' here
Is as clear as mud

When it all gets crazy and
Starts to go down,
And when push comes to shove,
Pound to Pound,
You won't be around,
You're not to be found,
Until the coast is clear
Then you'll be back around

NOTHING
Music: Eric Durbin
Lyrics: Glenn Welch and Eric Durbin

I could draw on feeling,
I could draw on death,
But I can't draw on anything,
For there's nothing left!

The darkening soul,
Of a heart so cold,
Time passed by,
The world grew old,
Why the pain?
The end flew near,
The eyes of the Universe,
Shed no tears!

If there were a reason,
For this ceaseless hell,
Only one cared to share,
The purpose for our cell,
The price is high,
and self-inflicted,
I'd stop the pain,
but I'm addicted!

The pain's my friend,
For I know he's real,
and when he's gone,
I cease to feel,
My life is over,
and I'm not alarmed,
Because now I know
That I can't be harmed!

NOT ENOUGH
Music by Eric Durbin
Lyrics by: Eric Durbin and Josh Wilson
first two verses freestyled by Josh Wilson during recording

You've got the clothing,
You've got the hair,
Being weird is not enough!
You've got to live it
You've got to love it
Being weird is not enough!

Just because you buy the clothes,
and I bought them too, SO?!?!
You think you are cool like me
You'll never be a freak with a piercing see,
That won't be makin' me
Have beef when you show a bat,
Nice show to act so tough
Get in the pit, I'm there with,
You best be up!

You've got the piercings
You've got the rage
Being weird is not enough!
You've got to feel it,
You've got to seal it,
Being weird is not enough!

Just because you pierce something,
You think you are down,
Rage ain't something to play with
when you're actin' like a clown!
Oh, I feel it, do you feel it?
You can't because you are fake,
I seal it, you're out there,
No room for earthquake,

You've got the tattoos
You've got the boots
Being weird is not enough!
You've got to see it,
You've got to be it,
Being weird is not enough!

Wanna be down with it, add to it,
Be productive,
Just can't be an eyepiece
Just a visual, not like me,
You must be an individual
You have to give,
If you want to live on our side

You've got the piercings
You've got the rage
Being weird is not enough!
You've got to live it
You've got to love it
Being weird is not enough!

HETH
Music by Keith Chapman and Eric Durbin
Lyrics by Eric Durbin and Josh Wilson
This song was written in memory of Jim Heth, may he rest in grace.

Let's talk about problems,
The problem with kids today is a failure on the part of parents and
educators to teach them the meaning of their existence and to give them a
purpose for their lives. It's time they recognize, open their eyes, hear
our cries.

If you send me with no direction then what do you think that I will find
for my life? If I don't know what I'm looking for then I might as well be
blind! Because what will I find but chaos and mayhem and too hard of a
life?

Purpose is not something extra, purpose is crucial to everything's
existence, if it doesn't have a purpose then it has become obsolete. We are
raising a whole generation of children who are obsolete even before their
lives begin! Purpose is the first need, because one's purpose dictates all
other needs, If we don't know to what ends we are striving then how can we
tell what we truly need to achieve?

If we don't have a purpose, you see then we don't have any needs. With out
needs there is no invention or creativity. Humans aren't just an invention
and one of God's machines.

As young children you teach us to say our prayers but teach us nothing about
hope or faith. Prayers are wasted words if one has no faith and without
hope there can be no faith. Since you yourself live a hopeless existence
you teach us to do the same. It took you 40 years to arrive at apathy but
you teach us to be apathetic before we've even have a chance to: care,
dream, hope, believe, or to live!
don't you think it's time that you give?

The majority of all that I believe is taught before you even think. Your
actions teach us more than your words. Your attitudes define our soul,
infect our roles yeah, leaves us cold. We can't learn what you don't
believe no matter what you teach!

When I yell, maybe I have a question that needs to be addressed, and maybe I
don't even need an answer, maybe I just need some reassurance that I'm not
the only one who doesn't know. If you had the answers I might be more
willing to follow your directions if you shared the reasons why? And if you
listen to me I might be able to answer some of your questions!

If you listen to what I say then maybe I will listen to you, and if you
become a part of my life then maybe I won't feel so all alone so lost on my
own so let's try to start again, take ahold of my hand.

The problem with kids today is a failure on the part of parents and
educators to teach them the meaning of their existence and to give them a
purpose for their lives. They need to hear our cries, and recognize.

INSTANT CELEBRITIES

Lyrics:

Dealin' musical heroin
That's the business we're in
At first in might make you sick
but then your hooked my friend
Built intellectual power
This is not for cowards
We cooked it down just the to the facts
Tie them off and inject the tracks
