DOWNER LYRICS

1. Flex

Squeezing your neck til suffocation
Future old enemies
Future old enemies.

Wallow in the shit of another day,
forced into ingesting the waste of society.

Cut out your tongue in protest
your voice
won't make a difference
you weren't meant to succeed
by any means...
That does not mean you're easily beat down
and easily faltered...
It won't make a difference when you're
lying in a ditch cold.

So far from intelligence it sickens me
future old enemy
future old enemy.
Forged into tolls of hypocrisy
escape with integrity
future old enemy.

Cut out your tongue in protest
your voice
won't make a difference
you weren't meant to succeed
by any means...
That does not mean you're easily beat down
and easily faltered...
It won't make a difference when you're
lying in a ditch cold.

I can't
deny
I've more anger than fear
We fear
We lie
Help us save ourselves
I can't
deny
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU
No one can save you
No one can save you
No one can save you
No one can save you

2. Bi-Furious

Do you ever feel like your life
IS WASTING AWAY?

with no purpose to speak of

If someone could just forget your name
AND ALLOW TO SLIP AWAY.

a life time of suffering could end
your life time could end
your life time could end
your life time could end

Have you ever felt you're sinking
WITH MORE WEIGHT ON YOUR BACK?

no surface to scratch for

If someone would just forget you're alive
AND ALLOW YOU TO SLIP AWAY

a life time of suffering could end
your life time could end
your life time could end
your life time could end

how many times have you promised
that no matter what you'd save us?
Too much trust and we're often
let down quickly.

All alone you sit
and contemplate these times
and how you're gonna survive
when everything safe around you
can't pull you to the side again.
To lift to your feet
wipe the bloodstains from your teeth.
your life time could end
your life time could end
your life time could end
your life time could end

how many times have you promised
that no matter what you'd save us?
Too much trust and we're often
let down quickly.

You try to be someone
you're pretending you're the lucky one
what if I could barely make it to the surface...
We try to be someone
you're pretending you're the lucky one
what if I could barely make it to the surface...

Poor friend
poor friend
a life time of suffering
Poor friend
poor friend
a life time of suffering
Poor friend
poor friend

3. Last Time

This is the last time
I will fail you
This is the last time
I will fail you
This is a release from me
I must not be thinking straight
the weight on my shoulders
is nothing but a headache to you.
You wanted your freedom
I hoped for food on your plate
either way WE LOSE.

Life has failed you
for the last time.
This is the last time
I will fail you.

I take home a portion
I live to produce for The State
Trying to protect
your family from starving to death
I known a person
who lost it all in one day
Job
Wife
and his friends

Life has failed you
for the last time.
This is the last time
I will fail you.
SIX FLOORS ON MY HEAD

In time to save you
from the truth.
Who isn't my enemy?
My sacrifice for you...
A sign of hope
goes into the air with me
AND INTO THE SIDEWALK BELOW

Forget about your fears
Forget about your fears
Torture for all these years
Torture for all these years
I failed you
failed you
failed you
SIX FLOORS ON MY HEAD

4. Savior

My wallet gets thick from you fools
you pray to my hairpiece
and my luxury.
It seems you're all victims to be
run for your lives.

Could it be time that god falters?
Could it be time that I fall?
Except for the pulpit I lean on
I've no legs at all.

Faith is so blind it might hurt
and lead you to jump off the edge of the earth
it seems all you suckers would see
that I'm just a thief.

POOR MICE.
You said you would like me to stay
and lead you away from your problems
I helped create.
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
I am.

When life hits the bottom
you'll pray for my sympathy
I don't c are what you hoped for
you paid for salvation
your prayers unaccounted for
stupid
wasted and poor.
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
I am.
My wallet gets thick from you fools
you pray to my hairpiece
and my luxury.
It seems you're victims to be
run for your life.
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?
Who is your savior?

5. Weed Eater

Complicated
but always on my mind.
Why I've been down here
for sometime.
My angst and frustration
when will it all end?
But I'm down here
ALIVE.
INJURED.
INJURED.
INJURED.

Leave me hanging
strums up by a threat.
I've been living for a lie.
Often ill-fated
sometimes left for dead.
But I'm breathing.

ALIVE.
INJURED.
INJURED.
INJURED.

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

Would you be my friend?
Who's bitter til the end
I'm up til I descend
you hate my friends
Bitter till the end
Bitter till the end
Bitter till the end

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

Would you be my friend?
Who's bitter til the end
I'm up til I descend
you hate my friends
Bitter till the end
Bitter till the end
Bitter till the end

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

I'm alive
almost dead once
almost dead once
almost dead once

6. Mud Bath

In our quest for success
we trampled everything beneath our feet
overlooking human suffering.
We bathe in our glory
all excess down the drain
into the sea
reducing fertile life to the mud that we sling.

Who is it that we call,
our enemy?
Is it my closest friend?
I have my doubts
why does shit have to be a problem for you?
What if we are born to die like this?

In our quest to repress
we fucked up everything beneath our feet
overlooking natural suffering.
While they bathe in all our oil
that we pour down the drain
into the sea
reducing fertile life to the mud that we sling.

Who is it that we call,
our enemy?
Is it my closest friend?
I have my doubts
why does shit have to be a problem for you?
What if we are born to die like this?
We had our fears
Had our doubts
We made our choices.

Who is it that we call,
our enemy?
Is it my closest friend?
I have my doubts
why does shit have to be a problem for you?
What if we are born to die like this?
We had our fears
Had our doubts
We made our choices.

It seems that we're always wrong
no fear
what if I pretend to give a shit
about my placement among peers.
Hope is gone,
we have failed to save anyone here.
We have no fear.
We have no fear.
We have no fear.
We have no fear.
We have no fear.

7. Born Again

Eyes wide,
life forces us,
to feed of our own fears
of others
in order to
further our own interest.

Political agendas
Religious separation
Economic devastation
And Racial segregation

I've learned
life forces us
to feed on our own fears
of others
in order to
further our own interest.

Political agendas
Religious separation
Economic devastation
And Racial segregation
SAVE ME!

We're taught only to take.
We're taught only to take.
I've nothing left to give.
I've nothing left to give.

Political agendas
Religious separation
Economic devastation
And Racial segregation
How much longer till we fall apart?
Born for nothing.

We're taught only to take,
only to take
only to take.
We're taught only to take,
only to take
only to take.

8. Speed Teeth

Speed freak
always cleaning your dentures
spending your last dollar
so you can stay up a little bit
longer.

All these years I've watched you crumble,
while you thought you
were my hero
Dig
your
own
hole
Dig
your
own
hole
Speed freak
why are you wasting away?
I can see death in your eyes
bleeding from the noise as you cry...
It's so sad
no one's hearing your screaming
struggling for salvation
ending up with no teeth
chewing on your regrets

All these years I've watched you crumble,
while you thought you
were my hero
Dig
your
own
hole
Dig
your
own
hole

All these years I've watched you crumble,
while you thought you
were my hero
Dig
your
own
hole
Dig
your
own
hole

9. Punching Bag

I've led a pitiful life
need a scapegoat to blame
got a sick mind
you'd probably like it,
down on your knees
he said
"You should have know better"

I PLAYED YOU
YOU BOUGHT IT
I'VE BROKEN
THE TRUST YOU HAD IN ME
TRUST YOU HAD IN ME

You've got a gun in your mouth
you think it's somebody's fault
the dress was so short
you probably liked it
Down on your knees
he said
"You should have know better"

I PLAYED YOU
YOU BOUGHT IT
I'VE BROKEN
THE TRUST YOU HAD IN ME
TRUST YOU HAD IN ME

Turn your head away from me
forced to trust what you can't see
turn your head away from me
forced to trust what you can't see
we are stronger on the outside
we are stronger on the outside
we are stronger on the outside
we are stronger on the outside

10. Ventilation

We may all have problems
Mine don't look a thing like yours
Is it enough to close my eyes
and justify so much strife
in the name of god?
If that's the case,
your God is what's fucked up

SILENCE
Tie your own knot
The only way to end
to end all your suffering
SILENCE
Tie your own knot
Do us all a favor
AND END ALL YOUR MISERY

All the nations crying
for help to conquer world wide crime
that they propagate within
Justifying actions
that cause reaction
SO FULL OF SPITE

SILENCE
Tie your own knot
The only way to end
to end all your suffering
SILENCE
Tie your own knot
Do us all a favor
AND END ALL YOUR MISERY

ive been a host to failure
no comfort to me
to be swept aside
by anyone with a bigger gun
THAN MINE
THAN MINE
THAN MINE
WITH A BIGGER GUN THAN MINE
THAN MINE
THAN MINE
THAN MINE
With a bigger gun that
Unjustified brutality
Unjustified brutality
Unjustified brutality
Unjustified brutality

11. Curbed

It grips your fingers tight
and kills your closest friends
squeezing all the life
that was already slipping away.
I've got no sympathy for the guilt
or the poison that probably killed you
after all the good done
you probably know what's best for me too.

Holding your head high
as though nothing's wrong
teeth imbedded in my soul
or the heel of my boot
wear a mouthpiece sucker
a mouthpiece sucker
the thrill is gone
your blood is spilled
your life is gone.

You grip my fingers tight
you found your only friend
clinging onto life
that has already left you.
So now it's dark and sober,
where will you fade tonight?
In the street
or in your car
another hopeless lost cause.

Holding your head high
as though nothing's wrong
teeth imbedded in my soul
or the heel of my boot
wear a mouthpiece sucker
a mouthpiece sucker
the thrill is gone
your blood is spilled
your life is gone.

The teeth you've planted
in the ones
the ones that you love
are imbedded in my soul,
or the heel of my boot.
Wear a mouthpiece sucker
Wear a mouthpiece sucker
Wear a mouthpiece sucker
Wear a mouthpiece sucker

There's nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong.
