SECRET NO.7 We feel just like Two criminals With unknown crimes It's not your fault It's always mine It’s always mine.
2.	RETROFITRO - Spanish Dagger 03:39	lyrics	buy track
THE SPANISH DAGGER Well stop cashing me in for a thin line You're right on track to know what it feels like To lose more than you've ever gained Charges pending further investigation You've got to expect that you're falling from graces Rehearsing all your persona will need When you're front-page fighting for your dignity I almost taste the the irony How fiction replaces history Use daunted glow to light your page You say those feelings of doubt Will never cut across your mouth I know that Socrates and impurities Are getting you down You'll take all they've got to get your fill Your time is running out You're getting carried away No one cares about your fame I see the dagger in your name Deny your roots for future rain For future reign Add one more kill to raise your worth It's so sad Because it's all the truth you have Trade breath For gold There's no Armageddon When pranks are there to relieve you Why prevent yourself Take wealth from someone else Dare to incite yourself When you're your only foe You're carried away Nothing's real about your fame I can see you drown in your own wake So pale, so thin you'd float away I see you trying so hard So no one will ever take your place When you feel the dagger brush your face I deny myself what I can take When I can wait (and expect the same) Incriminated Your teeth still shine over the suffering Deceiving trade But the blade will shine.
3.	HARCUVAR - Cinema Spine 08:53	lyrics	buy track
A CINEMA SPINE Just a little bit of feeling in your stories And I'm ready rearing to go Just a little bit of grieving in the words you relate And I'm alright Crash land, insist Can't exist on frailty I always crash land and Resist exaggerated authority Just a little bit of bleeding in your stories And I'd be really wanting to know How they treat internal bleeding When they're dying to be The future glow All attacks come two by two We've been gliding so far Just spinning our wheels When all the bodies fall Do they face the sky To choose which star To make it home When all the bodies fall Is it finally quiet Or does their last heartbeat Echo till they're gold Crash land, resist Redefine a dire need Crash land In this unassuming reality When all the bodies fall Will they shun the light And dust their feet On brittle stone And all this time Is wasted on an assembly line To keep things plain enough To be sold Tell me something to ease my worry Tell me something to calm me down Tell me something to prove your story With a shot of sodium pentathol Tell me something that's not too late To deny Deny Why would anybody treat your right Why would anybody treat you right And we already know how the actors feel And we already know how the actors feel And we already know how the actors feel And we already know how the actors feel And we already know how the actors feel This time Tell me something to prove your story Tell me something before I get home This romance This romance Tell me something to prove your story Tell me something ‘fore alcohol This moment Is this romance?
4.	RIVER LAMPS - Miracle Mile 04:12	lyrics	buy track
MIRACLE MILE I'm ready to blow I’m ready to blow It's not my fault My fault You know I’m ready to blow Don't waste a four-leaf clover I’m ready to blow Good happens to the owner Just wait When the leaves fall They go below your faults Now you're just boring me to death I've got a catacomb underneath The same place I lay my head I've gotta bury them blind And then control what they find I'm hanging on a thread You know I'm ready to blow Like I've told you I would Out of nothing you find your own authority Cleanse the water to send your holy blessings I'm flying solo I'm falling so low Where do we go Out of nothing you find your own authority Forbidden honor will go as far as atrophy I'm flying solo I'll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, yeah Now you're just boring me to death I've got a cataract focused on A shaky, shaky Conscience at best Shaky breath I've got to make up my mind And try to make up some time I'm hanging on a thread You know I'm ready to blow But not quite yet You know I'm ready to fold Can't count my cards yet You know I'm ready to forget All we've been through You know I'm ready for you The shaken are desperate For new sounds on old ground To bury reflections Infections From strong hands And weak glands And when they're awakened Their vision will fade It ain't a bit of my fault Man, I'm gonna miss her It ain't a bit of my fault Man, I'm gonna miss her It ain't a bit of my fault Man, I'm gonna miss her Miss her It ain't a bit of my fault Man, I'm gonna miss her.

6.	ROGER OVER & OUT - Jaws Of Life 03:34	lyrics	buy track
JAWS OF LIFE I'm caught up In the jaws of life What can heal can also Tear you up inside Writing down your own anthem You don't like the older one I would stand at attention For less than minimum Wage your own forgotten wars Trade honor for canker sores Ghostly pride with matching tours You're childish without the joy I know that I said I would change I know that I haven't changed A shoulder to lean on And then break I'm barely breathing With my status day to day I’m caught off guard By innocence I cross my heart Your influences pull you down I swear it's not The fault of mine Or of the fault of anyone So tell me what the guilt feels like Are you swallowed in your jaws of life When you strip people down You'll see how They don't need their cover Is it clear and defined When fists from a simple conflict rise (I could tell you things to shock you) And we turn into monsters We thought were once extinct.

GOODNIGHT QUIET NOISE You're full of spite (you fooled the spy) And I know the reason why But your alibi Will never hold up to mine Standing up when paralyzed Pull the cloak over your eyes It ain’t enough to be a mountain tall Out of luck So name the price Spent your lot To turn on a dime Remove your mask To make a curtain call Something's calling me Out to the boulevard My thoughts need cages Till the morning When night, it rises Like the tide I feel I'm underneath I'm drowning in Nothing at all Standing up when paralyzed Pulled the cloak over your eyes Ain't enough to be a mountain tall Make amends before you start the fight Finding out why you should sleep at night The blood will boil then solidify You better see this You won't believe it You can't avoid The way they perceive you to be They're still behind you They're catching up They’re catching up To hold you to the back of the line There’s something's calling me Out to the boulevard My thoughts need cages Till the morning When night, it rises Like the tide I feel I'm underneath I'm drowning in nothing at all.

SPLIT LIP ENVY I'm just a token of your flirtation Nothing more than a description I’m just a guy, just a kid From a place where Your philosophy is a catastrophe Wake up —Split lip You're not that cool Put your words in quotes and Call yourself vegan Turn up, off, on Your stupid song and sing Words about the things you know And what you think you have to show her Myself, I think it's obvious That I'm envious of you Tell me now what you've got to look forward to I hear they're hiring at the Dairy Queen Your whole story’s been a disappointment And your poetry is just a joke to me Anything and everything’s about the affection That you get when That you got Then, 10 times 42 What's that got to do With anything this song's about This jealousy I'll do without As for myself I think it’s obvious That I’m envious of you Can’t decide If this fairytale and nightingale Counters what I had in mind Who am I The fairytale and nightingale Leaves me depressed and despised.

10.	FOURBANGER - When the Feeling Fades 04:50	lyrics	buy track
WHEN THE FEELING FADES It ain't over But it feels like it is done Getting older And dignified Thought we could go Go out for a ride Look at grave sites And pretend that we're inside Trade headstones for the night Relax and just settle down This hesitation will not be wasted We can't cross hidden lines You know it helps Like nothing else To taste the wind When you prepare to fly Alle, alle, auch sind frei If you can't find a victim Then you're hunting for me So if the legs I have won't move I've got a good place to hide Under cover, I'm hating All the things you say but don't mean You're an imposter And I've seen you changing sides You're a dictator and we all drink to your pride We'll get this right We'll leave all the talking for another night It's never kind But we don't mind You can't inspect a soul After it dies Relax and just settle down This hesitation Is not complacent It's clear We can't defend these lines You know it helps You know it helps Like nothing else Like nothing else Lean through the windowsill Within your mind Alle, alle, auch sind frei If you can't find a victim Then you're hunting for me So if the legs I have won't move I've got a good place to hide Under cover I'm hating All the things you say But don't mean You're a dictator And we all drink to your pride You give of yourself now You think for yourself now You cry by yourself now ‘Cause you gotta be let down You're a martyr with guest lists Never make a birthday wish Well, you can't be without gifts ‘Cause you need to be glorified I can’t see I can see Why you're mortified Why you’re mortified When the feeling fades Time won't be Time won’t be Ever on your side Ever on your side Are your feelings mine Are your feelings mine?

LOW END OF LUXURY Waiting, stalemate Collect all your things For what they're worth You've got me leaving messages all night Wedding presents Postmarked: eternity Will you return to the sender You're paced too slow The price of life Save a collapsed lung Take long distance shrugs Leave a light on Not a siren So what's your story Have you change that too The ring slipped through your fingers But still you can't let it go I'm lost and found In some low end of luxury I'll start my packing when you start to fall asleep It's just the same As it's always been I've lost my will for anything It's not rational Why you'll go You wasted life Hear it in her voice She regrets her choice Giving up by nomination So what’s your story Have you changed that too Once more just say it softly The ring slipped through your fingers But still you can't let go It’s a waste of time It’s a waste of time It’s a waste of time Waste of time Awaits us / It wastes us It's hard to know what makes us fall apart It's hard to want to stop it when it starts It's hard to tell what makes us fall apart Scars jump at a chance to make a mark.

ARRIVE ALIVE You try to make this last But your candles burn too fast Divided before you’re born Were you divided from your former you You'll never make it far Well it's time, let go of my arm You're dying north of 40 You were destined for its solitude Just pull the cover over your eyes Or do what just feels good Easy to be content about your life Until it's over Why does this feel so good Won't somebody tell me while I'm alive Why can't I withstand My lust is so much stronger than my love for life It's just fate to play Braden The competition’s Hans And Braden The competition’s Hans And Braden The competition’s Hans So you’ll take over When I'm bleeding Watch me squeeze out every pint I've got Well, It's over And I can feel it Well-rehearsed the accidents prepare to stop Know what you want before you start I gotta tell ya…I read your diary To get to know you I skipped right to the end I don't feel guilty Empty pages Of untold stories For days you didn't want to live Oh well, you're giving up Too late Is this what you want, Dave? To decide your page Is this what you want, Dave? Or re-write autobiographies Is this what you want, Dave? And though I just woke up Is this how you wanted it? I feel I’m washed up Is this how you wanted it? You're always fake You fear the worst You've been betrayed So well rehearsed It's your fault I can believe handshakes Wouldn’t be the first I've gone far enough Is this how you wanted it? That’s why I'm washed up Is this how you wanted it? “It's over.” “I mean it.” It’s over I believe it now So, I’m washed up Well, I'm washed up Yeah, I’m washed up.

16.	ICARUS PHOENIX - Proventil 04:51	lyrics	buy track
PROVENTIL Why can't I get a rhythm? Am I working hard enough? Bound by the laws i'm given Better keep moving or I'll never catch up! How will i find that rhythm Hands tied behind my back? Need another puff of my inhaler Gotta have breath if I'm gonna yell back! I'm gonna drown it all out I'm gonna drown it all out I'm gonna drown it all out I'm gonna drown it all out Portrayed by my weak condition Nothing ventured nothing gained Any act is gonna have a victim It's gonna have loss It's gonna have pain (let's count my degenerate ailments...) 1.) got a chronic spasm 2.) got a fractured spine 3.) got a case of asthma More bad days than i've ever felt fine Will I mend my broken bones For a chance to break my neck? Depending on crutches to catch my balance The faster i try to run The slower that i get to my destination (the truth will have to come) As i wait (the weight adds on) More back pain No words to hold back It isn't gonna get much better If i can't pull my weight Slip or fade or step away from the crowd Had enough of grind & trials for now Wanna fight pound for pound Had enough of the sound Drift away now Find a way to tune out Put the blade down
17.	THE BLED TO DEATH - Losing Feeling 02:08	lyrics	buy track
LOSING FEELING You've learned a lesson By that infection That all can be resolved Or apply repetition Or apply repetition Stitch that incision It's my premonition That you've been stringing me along Lie back and stay awhile No coats are comfortable The lacerations clearly represent a measured assault You had it all along Unbridled accidents will look more like a person's at fault You've had it all along In line Enslaved Insult In injury In doubt Enraged When doubt Is sustained I know I'm nearing the end When I can't feel the pain One half we'll bury And the other half will always remain Like a god in apocalypse says: "You had it all along... ...Until the feeling's gone."
18.	CHRIS PELLNAT - Secret No.8 03:32	lyrics	buy track
SECRET NO.8 Persistent and flaunting, I’m fully aware The calling is haunting, but always fair Now heading upstairs, don’t blow your cover, heading upstairs alone Be careful, the bullet didn’t miss by much at all Specific and bashful, or nonchalant with despair More flippant than agile A secret we’ll share The finger was pointed at you The gun became the guest The finger gripped your life The gun did the rest You’re torn between affliction and the cure You’re torn between the price and the relevance You’d sworn that you’d be proper, but it all depends Before the storm you have to head to shore (We had a lot in common, neither ‘one’ would stop ‘one’) Before the storm you’ll be forewarned (you will conform) or learn why storms are formed Should’ve felt the body in another way Should’ve been familiar with the same mistake What’s your forte Sorry, but it’s gone in vain Couldn’t feel my body in that mental state A lot less to do but I have much more to say (Had to feel her breathing to prove I was awake) (Should’ve guessed I’d cave in under heavy weight) Blood stained caution tape Sudden, but it couldn’t wait A mark of passion is risky when missed Don’t judge the accuracy by the hits Speak in secret or in foreign tongues Most chances taken are not worth their rush (Marks of passion)Been cursed to have them.
19.	SEXTET - French Quarter Doesn’t Add Up 02:55	lyrics	buy track
THE FRENCH QUARTER DOES NOT ADD UP AKA TIRED OF NOT BEING AWAY FROM HERE (Dedicated to Ryan Galbasini) Flush out the devil's eyes They say he owns the tide He's happy to prove them right (He's only 10% water weight) To flush out the devil's eyes You might need the sea to rise I've been treading for too long I've got a reason for my actions We're all ears, we'd like to know You'll find that gravity pulls you faster After you let go You have no need whispering You feel the need to be free False oppressive safety ("You're such a bully") It takes weight to suffocate You're either selfish or you're passive (Hang tight) We share a plate when carving up your soul (Please pass the knife) Gravity pulls you harder in directions you first go (Fight or Flight) The current is still Or a hesitant calm A storm is never far away A fortune never guesses with cash beyond the arm Let's raise a glass to your sobriety, propriety Your hypocrisy knows bounds further than mine So how's it feel to pull a "Watergate..." (To be ahead and feel you're far behind) You know we still need an apology, apology You'd free yourself if you'd admit your crimes You choose a cave and go to hibernate Bi-polar bear reprised / reprisal.
