Song: Sell You Beautiful |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | Look who’s got a new nose
Plastic lips and fake tits
Ever tasted silicon?
I’ve got scars on my eyes
Look who is the best dressed
Oh my gosh the worst hair
Who designed that mink coat?
I’ve got stars in my eyes
- -
Guess who’s got a new car?
Bet she dates a rockstar
I wanna make a million
I’ve got lies in my mouth
Eyeshadow and glitter gold
Diamond rings and lip syncs
Anything material
I’ve got scars on my eyes
- -
Baby you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
we’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it’s all right cause one day I know I’ll be fine like everyone else
- -
Music played to advertise
Logo shirts and hair styles
Chop and cut monopolize
I’ve got scars in my mouth
Worship to the cash cow
Nod your head now take a bow
Faking grins and cleft chins
I’ve got stars in my eyes
- -
Baby you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with lookin like celebrities
Make myself throw up
With staple skin and back stab flattery
I’m coughin it up
- -
Hey little darlin I’ll sell you the definition
If you follow me through pages and channels of deceit where
Everyone is perfect and nobody grows old
Your bliss in the ignorance of images cause beautiful
Is what they’re sellin…….
(Its not how you feel its only how you look)
|
Song: Prophetic |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | Our Eyes are bleeding
Courtesy of everything that you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper than the sharpest knife
- -
Lookin’ is an awkward feelin’
When you’re beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We’ve been runnin’ all around
- -
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying to stop and consider life
So many pretty pretty pictures
On the walls an on our fingertips
Let’s sew the borders round it
- -
Losin’ is an awkward feelin’
When your bleeded down
Ain’t no way to stop the burning
We’ve been running all around ourselves
And it’s the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long term problem
- -
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it’s the choices that we choose
Cause we’re all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long term problem
- -
I need (x100)
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in, buried it under all this callous skin
- -
Losin’ is an awkward feelin’
When your bleeded down
Ain’t no way to stop the burning
We’ve been running all around ourselves
And it’s the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long term problem everyone
- -
Hid away, I’ve been feelin’ incomplete
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
I guess you’ve come over me
So define lonely
(now I know real love is for free)
|
Song: Newsstand Rock (the bottom line exposition) |
Lyricist: Matt Embree | Now America’s got a brand new war
Can anybody tell me what we’re fighting for?
Time to manufacture the illusion of safety
Don’t fear, just consume to uphold the economy
Yeah we always buy everything that they’re sellin’
Everything that they’re sellin’
- -
Payin’ for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we’re headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that’s the bottom line
It’s time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that’s the bottom line
- -
Now turn on the radio and hear what it’s sayin’
Another hollow candy coated melody about nothing
Easier to sell it don’t require you to think
Dumbed down drool, a façade suck-cess
We’re still buyin’ everything that they’re sellin’
Everything that they’re sellin’
- -
Now I’m lookin for the truth and solid meaning
So I can scrape the glass of both of my eyes
Stuffed to the gills with a false sense of stubstance
And now I realize
So its time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Wealth the spectacle of a greedy solution and that’s the bottom line
- -
Now I’m not buyin’ anything that they’re sellin’
Not givin’ in this time
- -
Payin’ for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we’re headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that’s the bottom line
It’s time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that’s the bottom line

Song: Overcome (the Recapitulation) |
Lyricist: Matt Embree | We've had.
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love
- -
(Turn it up)
The future is held in the hands who right the textbooks,
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created.
So we can build our capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market, and sell commodities we don't need.
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope that you will be with me
- -
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh,
- -
(Come on)
I can't wait for the day when I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color and creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in a material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure and that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive and strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature but its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines dictate all our human relations
- -
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media’s chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will always overcome the negative right
- -
And we stay inside, its right outside, we stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in.

Song: Never Slept So Soundly |
Lyricist: Matt Embree | Couldn’t see the moon
When she came tonight
Emptiness inside her filled my room
I know its only distance but its feels just like the end
I won’t ask this same old question
Adamant resistance to my lasting desires
Searching for an explanation to why I sleep alone
Oh I’m not driving anymore if you call you just use my name
Let these clenched fists open wide to see where all the answers lie
- -
Looking for a sign that I’m still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes yeah
Oh isnt that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean anything now
Pray its over soon
Never slept so soundly than with your breath on myneck
- -
The Present has no future
The future has no past
The past is just a graveyard
For the lonely ghost REGRET
It’s so hard to say goodbye
When I shake too much to hold
Let this blood within me run
So I can see the answers dry
- -
Lookin for a sign that Im still alive
With this junky smile and these sloppy eyes
Oh isnt that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between yoursheets
All the maybes in the world dont mean anything now
I pray its over soon
- -
Finding our directions
Stumble
Stagger
Fall Away
- -
Finding our direction
Let it lead the way
Part of what you borrowed
Can never be replaced
So pardon my deflection baby
There's no more blood to bleed
But if I can I'll be sewin up the seeds
Pickin up whats left of me
(to sing together)
- -
Lookin for a sign that I’m still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes
Oh isn’t that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between the sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean a thing
Isn't that the truth?
- -
And Im lookin for reason that Im still alive with
These pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes.
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean anything now
Pray its over soon.
- -
I never slept so soundly
Than with your breath on my neck
|
Song: Taking Chase as the Serpent Slithers |
Lyricist: Matt Embree | Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can hold it down and stand
But the aches and shakes don’t seem to let up, no no
I got all the questions, and
She has all the answers for me now
Oh I don’t believe it, no I don’t believe her now
- -
One more hope for tomorrow
Baby, one more kiss to forget you
Right, just what will bring us down
It keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget
Its so easy to forget
When I move so slow darling
- -
Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can tear down the walls and breathe what I never knew
All this girl could get into
I’ve got so many questions,
And she got all the answers for me now
Oh I can’t believe her, no I don’t believe it now
- -
One more hope for tomorrow
One more drink to forget
Just what will bring us down
Keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget
- -
When I’m inside her I don’t think twice
When she’s in my blood you know it feels so nice
Shaking in the morning like I’ve been kicked all night
When she’s in my blood you know it feels so nice
I’m shaking in the morning like I’ve been kicked all night
Sneaky sneaky serpent with the tricks up his sleeve.
- -
Lips like licorice but you can’t catch me
Deep between the covers listening to her heart’s beat
Till defeat and surrender of what’s being covered up
Cause I don’t want to give up what’s little last of my luck
So many opportunities that are boarded up and gently put away
You move so slowly I can’t even feel it moving
- -
You move so slowly I can’t believe it
|
Song: Republic |
Lyricist: Chris Sheets, Matt Embree | You can never be what never was
And to get by you know you must become a part in a machine
When minds outgrow a stationary scene
They get discarded with the others never meant to be
With the worst yet to be seen
Cause we still eat this fruit from the tree that’s in the middle of the garden
And we make a bargain
- -
Have you forgotten?
You’re still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There’s no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold
- -
Don’t have to look to see it everyday
It is designed for you to think that there’s no other way
If you got the look they’ll sell you’re sound
There will be dollars all around but when decisions come
You’ll find that you still have no say
It doesn’t bother most that
That’s the game
We’ve all been blinded by the opportunity to play
If you say what you want and you do what you say
Than it’s likely that you’ve found yourself a better way
- -
Have you forgotten?
You’re still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There’s no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold
- -
We’re still waiting in lines
And we’re still signing with our blood
Its all that was mentioned
Its all been no good
Well it’s the right that we haven’t
Forgotten the plan
It’s our LOVE that we’re doubting
Have you forgotten?
|
Song: Mastering the List |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | Don't be afraid because there is no escape
And it won't be long now, won't be long now
They got you thinking
What you wanna believe
Just to fall with no better way
When you wear the right clothes
Sing the right songs
You’re tunin and pluggin out
When you drive the right car and you digging the right crowd
Tune in and plug it out
- -
Came looking here for answers and all you found was
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now
We're finding out
What we knew better
No number can ever replace me
We're finding out
What we know better
No number can ever replace me
- -
First comes the school
Then comes the job
Wife and two kids and a family car
We're all falling in line and waiting to die
And for what?
A plaque on the wall and another numeral
On a corporate statistic of a government chart
You know I don’t need no read-out for the beat of my heart
You might as well get a barcode tattooed on your arm
Cause convenience has strangled art in every form
- -
Came looking here for answers and all you found was
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now
We're finding out
What we knew better
No number can ever replace me
We're finding out
What we know better
No number can ever replace me
- -
Came looking here for answers
And all you found was questions
Came looking here for answers
And all you found was
- -
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now
We're finding out
What we knew better
No number can ever replace me
We're finding out
What we know better
No number can ever replace me

Song: Falling Down the Mountain |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | Would you believe what I said if I shoved it down your throat?
(how unusual the lettered backdrop)
Do you wonder where you are, the meaning of the words?
(push the plunger, say goodbye)
Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition
It’s starting right now
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
Touch the surface flow and ebb with nowhere left to go
(if I could only live like this)
Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd
(follow the leader, come pin the tail)
Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts
It’s just the right time
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
We always say it, we never mean it
If that’s enough
That’s the way it looks and no one’s asking why
It’s the right time but we don’t have the time
Keep it locked down, it’s only what your heart would say
We’re barely living through it, we’re just surviving
I’m so sick of surviving
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
Pullin under to stay ahead
We always say what we don’t mean
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
But if it’s out for deception and still playing cool
Like a piece of the puzzle we’re so quick to salute it now
Much too bored to look for
- -
We didn’t say it, we never needed it
If that’s enough
It’s the way we look and no one’s askin’ why
It’s the right right time but we don’t have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring what your heart would say
We’re barely living through it, too scared to do it
We’re so sick of surviving
|
Song: Dinna-Dawg (the inevitable onset of luncay) |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | The midnight moon is feelin’ high
She won’t come down till the morning light
When opposite set scenery drapes unimpressed plasticene
Where cookies cut can play their games
Wear the shirts of pricetag names
All the biggies sellin’ fame
Can smell your blood yearning
(if that’s what it costs, I am free)
- -
Don’t contest electric light
Come pull the cord kiss me goodnight
Bound in blood, dollar signs confirmed
Your eyes still hold the secret
Shut your eyes don’t breathe so loud
It’s just an episode
Shut your eyes don’t talk to loud
It’s just an episode
(If that’s what it costs than I am free)
- -
Doesn’t this just smell familiar
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn’t this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?
- -
It all starts with a sound
And a firm embrace
The will to conspire
The need to suck-seed
Don’t look down, now you’re surrounded
Beady black eyes, lip licks shrouded
Heart’s best constricted, foam-filled with plastic
Kiss kiss luxury, head’s gettin’ clouded
See the sparkle of the heretic’s scream
The green gleam and the four-legged fiend
A flick of fountains and the kings been hailed
Don’t worry baby cause we’re all for sale
- -
Doesn’t this just smell familiar
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn’t this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?
- -
It surrounds. We’ll like to dance around
- -
(DON”T STOP NOW FEEL IT)
- -
It surrounds. We’ll like to dance around
|
Song: Pal-Treaux |
Lyricist: Matt Embree | What you want is what you findout
Once you believe that you don’t really need it
Here we are at the rest of our lives and I’m afraid
That we no longer need it
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
The etch of scars and memories pass
Once you conceive that you don’t want to feel it
After all
We all bled so much
It’s about time
That we all started living
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight (what it is to desire)
- -
What you want is what you find out once you believe
That you no longer need it
Well here we are at the spectacle of our sight and I’m afraid
That we’re all slaves
What you want is what you find out
Once you believe
You no longer NEED it
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight (what it is to desire)
|
Song: Decrescendo |
Lyricist: Matt Embree, Steve Choi | And I knew that you just couldn’t wait
To put your sharpened dagger in
And watch the look on my face
It was all you were searching for.
A picture frame consistent
To being alone.
Now we're content with illusions
And our arm length smiles
- -
Did you get what you wanted,
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love we’re forgetting how
Did you take what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted from me.
This is all that I’m asking
This is all that I’m asking you
- -
Oh the years that have all been erased.
No superficial shelter could ever replace.
And its all you we're searching for
Another adequate replacement
To walk through your door.
We're content with illusions.
And our downhill eyes
- -
Did you get what you wanted,
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love I’m forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you wanted from me
This is all that I’m asking
Yeah this is all that I’m asking
- -
Have you ever felt what it means to be truly alone?
Stop and think right now
Have you ever been alone?
Have you ever felt so cold?
Have you ever felt to truly alone?
So freezing cold?
So find the fakest elation I hope it takes you away
Now I’ve got it all worked out now
Just a memory, picture framed illusion
- -
Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting how
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you needed from me
This is all that I’m asking
This is all that I’m asking
- -
Did you get what you wanted?
NOW!!!!!!
