Sitting quietly I plan my scheme Laugh at myself Do what they won't I want to be Something awful If I'll transform I'll take a life Marching with pride I say I have it bad Brag with discretion None compare to me I wanna be evil Fulfill my desire I wanna be evil Look for what I aspire I wanna be evil Give me something worthwhile I wanna be evil Won't you just give me a smile When you die Give me something to hate Give me a reason to act I need to inflict my rage Give me a reason to be evil I have a compulsive need To grab attention for myself Off the hatred, I will feed Think nothing's wrong with my mental health Want to become Something more that burns inside me Rectifying my morals I hide the truth I can't let them see Oh no, not me Marching with pride I say I have it bad Any wrong action will Get me so fucking mad Whatever is needed will be done to ensure that I turn into something that reigns above the worms. I am all. I am eternal. I am evil.

In ancient times A man was killed By a man more powerful than him Next year, he was killed By another seeking power So man made war He sent the lesser to fight Through a cycle of murder and revenge They built civilizations They became smart War became smart They grew and war grew We now live on a pile of bodies Who died protecting nothing

Atomic Man 02:08
Atomic man, you made the bomb Atomic man, you mow your lawn Atomic man, I want you gone Atomic man dropped the bomb I hate you, atomic man The things you did in Vietnam An old world is what you've got All you are is what I'm not Atomic man, catch me if you can Drinking and smoking makes you a man Run on home and fuck your wife I hate your excuse of a life Fuck you, atomic man Come at me if you can Go to work, drive your car Dead on the freeway, life's gone far Atomic man, love your family Atomic man, against me Atomic man, your way of life Won't be around for long

Moving On 04:03
The way you made me feel Changed all that I knew But with things I couldn't say I sat in guilt and pain I learned I was in the wrong That all of it was in vain So I'm moving on Pain will keep away I take my leave alone With things I wish I could say I wish you could be happy It's what you deserve I never said I loved you It's something I couldn't do Maybe you will hate me But I need to move on I'll do what's needed To make sure you're okay

Europe Sucks 03:24
Gone on vacation to a land older than mine Peace and space were what I hoped to find It didn't go well, for what I'd soon learn Is Europe really sucks, and sure deserves to burn First stop was England And things were looking fine I learned it's a cesspool Everyone's getting stabbed and hit by trucks But it's okay, I can see the royal family rot away Watch free speech get thrown in the trash Maybe it's not that bad I said as I ran away Turns out it's in Berlin, Barcelona and Paris too Poland shuts down the border and Russians attack Ukraine It seems Europe's falling apart and nobody gives a fuck I know that Europe sucks People dying all over the place Anybody walking down the street Could get acid in the face It seems like nothing's being done They call it everyday life If citizens can die for no reason at all Maybe politicians can too They call it part and parcel

I've tried as hard as I can It's stressing me out I'm strained to hell So keep your eyes away I'm off the path I'm straying far away As far as I can get from you So try to find me Go ahead Go ahead and try me Try to use me again Go ahead and try, motherfucker Go ahead and try My mind's shattered from the way you scream away So say you're sorry After everything you've done I'm safe here when I'm sitting alone My mind's gone from my head Still I live with myself My own battles are at an end Because I'm at war with you This is shit I won't take When I'm past the breaking point

Setting the stage Check in the room Destroyed with age Open real soon Sit on the bed It's leaking red Turn off the light Thrown into plight Then you're Abandoned, abandoned Thrown in the chamber I'm thrown in my chamber Fall through the ceiling I fall through my ceiling Look out the window I look out my window I see you standing And I see there's nothing Then I'm Abandoned, abandoned Pitch black sky With air so dry Ear piercing sound I can't look around Walls so wet The fate is clear It's not over yet So why are we here? Must and mold And I'm so cold Have I been here before What's outside the door Then we're Abandoned, abandoned Torn down, we're torn down Waiting, we're waiting Derelict, derelict Motel
