SYSTEMATIC LYRICS

1. Dopesick

Enter in this black cloud/keeps looking over his shoulder
No method to his madness/heavy is the world as he crashes down.

[Chorus:]
Hands down, this haunts you/so dopesick, I'll remain
Hands down, this haunts you/so dopesick.

More than he could bear now/some thought that he would not come around
Screaming for his blank space/could not wipe this from his face.

[Chorus]

Could never tell by the whites of their eyes.

[Chorus]
I'll remain

2. Beginning Of The End

So far its perfect/the clothes you wear/this won't concern you/just hurts a bit.
(I don't mind you playing God)
Blame you/no trust/came to

[Chorus:]
I know you'll be back again/time slows - beginning of the end.

Black eyes she'll cover/her broken mouth/she won't tell mother/just hurts a bit.
(I don't mind you playing God)
Blame you/no trust/came to/your life self-destructs.

[Chorus]

I know this complicates you now/say you're mine.

[Chorus]
The end.

3. Return To Zero

Break down got a hand on this solitude/sanctuary of your missed information.
Held down beaten by an attitude/and you're biting the hand that feeds.
It's all pretty when the truth doesn't look at you/in a prejudice that's brought on by anger.
Straight arrow bent by some circumstance/if you ever stood a chance, you would too.

[Chorus:]
If it's up to me/I'm forty-nine/I'll show you everything

I tore down this wall just to look at you/it's filled up with nothing but hollow.
If your life ever sunk down any deeper, you'd take your soul someplace new.

[Chorus]

You've been falling down/to never crawl again

[Chorus]

You've been falling down/never crawl again.

4. Glass Jaw

It never threw me like this ignored/a head buried in the sand to retort.
If it ever came down to be a man or break my fall/peel back the skin again so I know.

[Chorus:]
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out.
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.

A head case I can't refrain all of my flaws/rebound or rationalize just to stall.
Well, I'm well aware and I think you care from your easy chair.
Remission is all that I can't afford.

[Chorus]

5. Deep Colors Bleed

Regress/possession/no likeness.
Impress/no virtue/in humbling.
In a room beyond the view you chose to tremble in/drawn and quartered institution/this place is set.

[Chorus:]
No feeling stronger than numbing/blankest expressions/your calling.

Repressed/adore you/they bought it.
Suggest/it's no use/lay dormant.
In a room beyond the view you chose to tremble in/reinventing Christ who died to make it make some sense.

[Chorus]
Calling you.

6. Mailbomb

I got your hate mail here/the perfect way to die/giving up your opinion/I'll give ya what I prescribe.
Down to size.
I got your hate mail here/I'm like a needle in your eye/can't deny your opinion/I'll give ya what I prescribe.

[Pre-chorus:]
This is beyond for real/it's beyond all of your repair/did you get the news?/no reprise when you're down there.

[Chorus:]
It brings you down
To my size.

I got your hate mail here/the perfect way to die/can't deny the messenger/can't rely solely on abuse.
Coming down my ugly truth/coming down just for your use/when it's in your face/all of me into you.

[Chorus]

7. Bedsores

You cannot swallow what you've seen/see me there before you/and if I heal in time/try not to stare too much.
Surrounded by tubes and things/this heart machine knows me well/when my lungs begin to fill up/don't turn away in sorrow.

[Chorus:]
Cause I've known this too long/when does death follow?/I am helpless, breathless/yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Roll me over when I get sick/change my bed when I piss/drug me up when I'm screaming/I've had way too much of this.

[Chorus]

Put my bed down/Turn the lights down low/won't you kill me softly?/please delete my misery.

[Chorus]
Tomorrow.

8. Slowburn

This lets me serve your purpose/I claim what's mine and drown you/bloodletting your subconscious/a loss of all control.

And you serve them well.
I spread your life wide open, and you don't like what you see/this trepanning won't ease you/a loss of all control.

And you serve them well/trade yours in for gold/bought and sold.

[Chorus:]
I've come to reap this reward, I break you, forsake you, my time to even the score.

Controls your mind/give it time.
And you serve them well/trade yours in for gold/bought and sold.

[Chorus]
You served them well.

9. Somewhere In Between

Pulls me under/held me over/sets the tones to lose.
A taste of anger/no remainder/of the things we'd choose.
Crumpled over/my composer/just a skeleton/it turns me inward, but it figures/forever's a dirty word.

[Pre-chorus:]
Emotions wear my sleeve/this might be the last.

[Chorus:]
One or two ease the pain/it's nothing that we talk about.

No recollection/of complexion/could not place his face.
I plead redemption/or collection/put me into place.

[Chorus]
Ease the pain.

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
This might be the last.

10. Of A Lesser God

Obscene/unbecoming/and always look down/unclean/no returning/but it's so clear and so sound.
Between my shortcomings/a simple way out/it seems nothing's working/but this saves me from me.

[Chorus:]
Waste away inside/pulling with this tide/of a lesser God/it suits you fine.

Slip into subhuman/and phasing you out/pristine, no resurgence/you're in between the next life.

[Chorus]
I think it's safe to say/can't make it go away.

11. Pitch Black

Taste the colors that run over you/a touch of gray that numbs the mind.
Left me for dead, it fills my head/"Locked in here for good!," she said.
Grip the dark that funnels dimmest light/it turns my scream into a whisper.

[Chorus:]
My thoughts scream through me/no way this could be/nothing left to see.

Silence will become the death of me/in me head they speak in tongues.
Tear at my skin, it never ends/no words can save the shape I'm in.

[Chorus]
(I think I've seen the light).

12. If Only

Red on her hands/remembers the blood they used to share.
Bleeding again/too many wounds she could not mend.
Bullet in hand/it's just not the gaze without the stare.
Washes her hands/and nothing remains the same in here.

If only you could be somewhere else inside of me.

[Chorus:]
Wake me up, I'm dead/is it something that I said?

Head in your hands/know that I could not just pretend.
Bleeding again and again/too many wounds she could not mend.
Bullet in hand/and nothing remains the same in here.

If only you could be somewhere else inside of me.
If only you could be somewhere dead inside of me.

[Chorus]
If only I could be somewhere else.
[Chorus]

13. Thick Skin

Thick skin, I'll break it to ya/bleed none and wallow in your
The bed they made for you.
Pushed further to resistance/it's hell when you still run to
The bed they made for you.

[Chorus:]
Fight yourself/down till you're well.

Thick skin, I'm mangled uptight/unwind and never survive
The bed they made for you.
Evolved into your monster/thick head, thick skin!
The bed they made for you.

[Chorus]
The bed they made for you!
You've become the lie/it eats you up inside/it's said and done/game over.

[Chorus]
