Its nice to see that some things never change This world is unpredictable but some things stay the same Like that I can always count on you to fill me with disgust You're burning down your bridges and breaking walls of trust WHEN WILL YOU LEARN to have some self respect? WHY MUST YOU GIVE in to your weakness? Its sad to see that some people don't care Its ok to quit your job when your baby's on welfare You always play the victim, like your life's so hard If you'd stop to look you'd see its you who dealt your cards WHEN WILL YOU LEARN to have some self respect? WHY MUST YOU GIVE in to your weakness? Nobody said life was easy But you make it harder on yourself

You live your life by the book ALWAYS TRYING TO SCORE Judging each girl by how she looks ALWAYS WANTING MORE But you'll never find what you're looking for Line them up and send them out the door You'll never find what you're... BAM! You spout out every cheesy line ALWAYS TRYING TO SCORE You swear it works every time ALWAYS WANTING MORE But you'll never find what you're looking for Line them up and send them out the door You'll never find what you're... Shark Attack!

Stranded 03:45
Carried by frost bitten toes We trudge on through the snow With no hope we carry on Will anyone even know we're gone? Stranded a thousand miles from home We're desperate and alone We must stay alive Consume those who don't survive We've stained the snow with these sins The brightest white to a dark crimson As our lives follow the setting sun Will we be forgiven for what we've done? Stranded a thousand miles from home We're desperate and alone We must stay alive Consume those who don't survive WE'VE STAINED THE SNOW WITH OUR SINS

Centralia 05:40
Watch where you step the Earth might crumble beneath your feet Steam, gas and smoke Rise up from the street This once was your home Now it is your Hell How long will this burn? How long can we survive? Will it ever die? What will become of this place? How can we live? How can we breathe? Living in this smoke filled city? HOW CAN WE LIVE? HOW CAN WE BREATHE? The fire's burning under our feet Like hell is rising How long will this burn? How can we survive? It will never die. It will never die! It will never die! It will never die! It will never die! It will never die! It will never die! It will never die!
