Self Obsession (Fuck you)
Another selfie another reflected image
Staring back out of the pool of deep insecurity
All I ever think about is myself
All I ever think about is myself
I hijack every conversation - Turn it back on me
I’m not interested in you - Turn it back on me
Smugly self satisfied - Let’s talk about me
Hypnotized by my own fucking bullshit - I learned it from society
This is my story. I am the hero. I can do no wrong
I am the hero. Fuck you - I can do no wrong
The disconnect leaves me feeling unfulfilled
The constant self promotion leaves me feeling unsatisfied
A culture of narcissists staring into a mirror
Reflected emptiness projected success
How will we see each other when our gaze is fixed upon ourselves?
Clamoring to be seen. To be heard. To be known.
Blind to each other’s struggle, to each others fight
Fall upon the swords of deaf ears ignoring the onset of eternal night

A perfect day Afghanistan
Wedding party gathering of family and friends
The sun is shining children smiling
It’s all about to change for them it’s all about to end
Pretended honor no integrity
The victims never had a hope or prayer
Silent killer nothing here to see
3rd world nation of despair
Why do they hate us? Silent killers
Bombs falling in foreign skies
Silent killer predator drone
Another 3rd world genocide
Whatever happened to the days when they’d scream
“DON’T SHOOT!” until you see the whites of their eyes
At home a thousand miles away In an air conditioned room
on a monitor screen
The poor just look like flies
Push of a button
Sip of your coke and all the ruined lives broken hearts
crushed dreams you fucking cowards fucking liars
Open your eyes

Boxcutter PNW - Toxic
02:06
|
|||
|
Brought up on bullshit I’ve come to despise
That the measure of a man is the sum of his might
(But) a man who tells a young boy that it’s not okay to cry
Is an example of a man who believes in old lies
It’s out of line - no doubt about it
This patriarchal bromance has become toxic
What will it take for us to understand
Positions of power don’t make you a man
Nothing is weak about expressing his feelings
Who shares, cares and loves, and never stops believing
A man should have emotions, it’s what makes and keeps him strong
Let go of the lie that your feelings are wrong
You learn it from movies, books and TV
From a young age you internalize the belief
That a position of control is a man’s rightful place
But this train of thought is a fucking disgrace

I don’t care what you think
or do or say at all
Your sanctimony sucks
You’re putting up a wall
And when you find yourself
alone and confused
They’ve turned their backs (on you)
The one’s you’ve abused
And when you find yourself
Bewildered and alone
Lying on that bed of nails
(you’ll)Reap what you’ve sown
Made your bed now die in it
Ain’t no use denying it
Now’s the time for you to go fuck off!

Car 87 - Self Sabotage
02:06
|

Self sabotage, fucked again
Slipping closer to the black, the end
Falling down, crawling up, it’s spent
I’ve still got nothing left
The bitter past, it still haunts
Never know what the fuck it wants
Trying hard just let it go
Push it down so it won’t grow
Darkness swirling, never ends
I can’t find the hate it sends
The black and gray always blends
Digging down to reach the end
Stuck inside the black decent

Car 87 - Sin
02:23
|

Sanity – Moments of lucidity
Insane again – my sanity has flown
Sanity – My thinking has some clarity
Insane again – a peaceful life unknown
When did all this craziness begin
It kills me when I blame you for my sins
Accountability for my fall
From Grace into the depths – I lost it all
Ingesting chemicals since I was ten
Those coping skills were not my friends
Liar, cheat, a thief – I became them all
Fucking learned the hard way – a suicidal fall

Car 87 - Wasting Away
02:28
|

|
Wasting away for too many years
Wake the fuck up and face that fear
Bloodshot eyes riddles with lies
Claims to try but you just cry
On and on behind those lies
Boy cried wolf it’s (not) justified
Lies behind those bloodshot eyes
No one listens not hears your cries
No one’s gonna do it for you
Get off your ass and think it through
The lies you tell yourself aren’t real
You rob yourself of the life you steal
Day by day your wasted breath
Fear by fear it’ll be your death
Year by year the same old tears
Wasted by the life long fears

Car 87 - Bridge On Fire
01:20
|

|
Bridge on fire
No more hope
Last chance gone
Bridge on fire
No more rope
Enough to be hung
Walked the line
Too many times
No thought of the cost
Can’t cross over to the other side
Cannot look ourselves in the eyes
Life in ruins burned it all down
All life in ruins burned to the ground

Car 87 - Sixes

Just one more day, don’t know how much more I can take
Life has pulled me down, feels like I’m going to break
Closing in on every side, can’t avoid it, I can’t hide
Black clouds overhead, follow every step I’ve led
I can’t clear my head, not this time
I want to feel alive
I can’t escape, addicted to this pain
Been here too many times, the same old song again
Plays over in my head, every choice and word I’ve said
The weight pulls me down, barley holding by a thread
No excuses for the things I’ve done
Can’t change the past, gotta move on
In too deep, over my head
Sinking deeper, am I….. an I already dead?

Thought about hanging myself on Christmas day
My kid and my wife pushed those thoughts, kept them at bay
Cut the life out of living with my stupid mistakes
Overblown ego now I've lost sight of the stakes
Sitting at a bar where I'm not supposed to be
Too much penchant for the misery
My apologies are hollow just like my decency and skill
Killed the pain snuffed the fire inside It's just too hard to admit that I'm not right
I Turned my problems into fist fights
Should have held tight should have made things right but the things that I hold are just plain out of sight
Sitting on the top of the world I turned my personal problems into fist fights.

Twice burned but I didn't bleed, wading through this hypocracy
You're not dead just dead to me, All this time and we're still not free
Ten thousand tears fell down in vain, Only you care about your pain
Childhood dreams turned adult ambitions, self defeated by my own admission
So bitter so detested, meaningless life menatly arrested
I'm not happy and I'm not proud, another day living in a black cloud
Two faced liar a bringer of deceit I want to cook your body make a necklace from your teeth
A cowards road you can control, scumbag lowlife reap what you sow
Meaningless Lives
So what have you got to lose.

Held a casket so many times, no wonder at fifteen I was out of my mind
Lost so many good ones, they said to let it go
Ritalin and zoloft my friends left me alone
Laying with her just waiting to die, I was so fucked up I didn't even cry
They years kept on passing I learned to pretend, That everything was ok and booze was my friend
At first it was fun but that was all an act, then I hit thirty and I can't get it back
My family my friendships course far off track, my hobbies my interests to fill what I lack
I'm sorry you're sorry this is just what I am
No redemption no clarity just my head in the sand
I'm sorry you're sorry this is just who I am
The years keep on coming and I can't get them back.

When you can’t afford to drive, then how the fuck do you survive
To get you here and get you there why should they fucking care
They’re stealing that shit and it still isn’t getting cheaper
Cuz the oil well is drilling deeper and deeper
The rich keep getting richer
This paints a fucked up picture
They got us where they want us, their oil war was a bust
A billion barrels in reserve But what the fuck do we deserve
A fucking break and a chance to succeed in advance
They bankrupt us and hold us down
We’re fucking stuck in our home down
FIVE DOLLARS A GALLON!!!
To go anywhere will cost to much
Fuck all you fucking fucks
FIVE DOLLARS A GALLON!!!

Potbelly - At A Loss
01:31
|

Here we go again. Too drunk to really play.
An instant repeat of our errors of yesterday
We will never learn or we are just insane
The price of a lifestyle that will end in dismay
Too many drugs and our bodies fell apart
Just to drop dead from the damage to our heart
As if we long for death we invite it everyday
The party is disguise for our depression and dismay
CH/ We’re not role models.
We are the architects of loss.
Thru the party we instigate the cause
Good or bad intentions we’re at a loss
We make drinking songs and laugh at what we’ve done
Influenced a kid who spent his life on the run
In the end he hung himself and we kept singing songs
I guess that “I’m fucked” had meaning all along
Some day soon I guess we’ll collapse or die on stage
Another motel overdose, Another punk rock name
In the end they’ll laugh and sing to the loss
Another drinking song we knew it all along...

Potbelly - Fight

FIGHT!!!!!!
Abusing power at a rate unseen.
Everything they’re doing is affecting you and me
I’m done pretending like we’re fucking free
Change only happens when we talk and think
Race to the top they built towers of old
Oil. Military. Drug wars sold
Puppets on strings with badges and guns
Murdering citizens, oh what fun!
People stand together for the what we know is right
The people stand together will FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
People stand together for what they know is right
Because everyone will fight for human rights
Build schools and roads instead of things that explode
Tear down the walls that they call for
Look to your neighbor for who are the ones in control
You are not alone. Take back your home
Look to your neighbor. We are the ones in control
And I’ll take that to the grave. Don’t be a system slave
Or it’ll put you in the grave, at least I won’t die a slave.
FIGHT!!!!!!

Potbelly - Go Die
00:50

You have no friends
Your family disowned you
You will be forgotten
Why exist go die
You are a liar
Your addictions controlled you
No one really loves you
Why exist go die
You were once a good man
Then you fucked over anyone that trusted you
Leaving us all hurt not knowing just quite why
You were once my friend
But now I think that you should go die
You were once my friend
But now I think that you should go die
You lost everything
Was it all worth it
The tweek ruled you
So why exist go die
Now I've heard you've become a narc
Trying to save your own ass
It figures you scum bag
Why exist go die Why exist go die
Why exist go die Fuck you and go die

Hate in America It’s on the streets
Puppets in suits trying to command me
Waving swastikas and confederate flags
Their American dream is not the dream I had
Capitalists, nationalists, supremacist scum
Murderers, rapists, political fun
Trump, Bannon, Pence & Ryan
A bullet for each – At least we gave to try it
‘Cause we are part of the fight now
Standing on a page in history
Throw the brick and start a riot now
And kill all the goddamn nazis
Oi! Oi! Oi!
