Ooh, what cha gonna do now?
(blood in my eyes...)
What cha gonna do,
When the rhythm comes kickin' you,
(blood in my eyes...)
Kinda makin' me bleed ear two,
Mommy said so, deafenin', happenin'
Breathe like a disease,
(blood in my eyes...)
Gonna get you, off of me,
Thoughts of you rotting me,
(blood in my eyes...)
Animosity, burrows into me,
Boy you lost, when you made me the enemy!
Blood in my eyes,
Blood in my eyes,
I don't like to think...
I don't like to think about you, NO!
What cha gonna do,
Who ya gonna do it to,
Cause it's makin' me feel
(yea it's makin' me feel)
My will, something I kill not,
Give enough to think about you,
(blood in my eyes...)
To another like me, punk!
You're gonna get yourself knocked out,
(blood in my eyes...)
Nightmares running through my mind,
[chorus]
Watch your back, they want my brain,
Never left me quite the same,
All the memories of my pain,
Put me down, and sorry me...
So empty...
Inside me...
So empty...
Hey you the kid in my face,
(blood in my eyes...)
Care to see my crib,
Yea! Cause I'm just about to kick it,
(blood in my eyes...)
My innocents feeding your every-years,
I guess you gave no thought,
To your madness,
(blood in my eyes...)
Who you tryin' to fool now,
Who you turning into,
Thinking the insanity you knew now,
(blood in my eyes...)
Animosity, burrows into me,
Waiting for a minute,
Then I'm makin' you the enemy!
[chorus]
Rage, in my veins,
I cannot be made,
Thinking how you let me down,
(how you let me...)
Fall, in my pain,
I cannot be made,
Why don't you just let me drown,
What cha gonna do now?
(i'm left here...)
What cha gonna do,
(so empty...)
When the rhythm comes kickin' you?
(life played me...)
Kinda makin' me bleed ear two,
(so... fine...)
Nightmares running through my mind,
Breath like a disease,
(I'm left here...)
Gotta get you off of me,
(so empty...)
Thoughts of you rotting me,
(life played me...)
Animosity, burrows into me,
Boy you lost, when you made me the enemy!
Ooh, like I never knew,
(blood in my eyes...)
Distrust I grew everytime I think of you,
(blood in my eyes...)
Rape my mind, to make me blind,
Thought I would forget, oh boy,
I'll hit you with the blindside,
(blood in my eyes...)
No stoppin' it, watch me droppin' it,
Off of me, another nightmare rockin' it,
(blood in my eyes...)
Animosity, burrows into me,
Boy you lost, now I made you the enemy!
[chorus]

See the man in the corner, cold as sin,
His expression shows you where he's been,
Never thinks about his life outside,
'Cause he knows he ain't never leaving here alive,

Old man inside,
Helps me with my ignorance,
Old man inside,
Helps me with my enemies,

[Chorus]
Break it off, inside,
What you say? what cha gonna do now?
Once you cut the chain,
Watch yourself inside,
What you say? Everything you do now,
Or you'll loose the game,
Old and broken, heart in shell,

Inside ticking by the prison cell,
Mr.Number, no claim to fame,
You spent all of your life,
In the systems brain,

Old man inside,
Well, I never want to end up like you,
Old man inside,
Helps me with my enemies,

[Chorus]

Woowoowoo...
You failed modern man,
Wooowoowoo...
Life force given' up somehow,
Woowoowoo...

You failed modern man,
See the man in the corner, cold as sin,
His expression shows you where he's been,
Never thinks about his life outside,
Cause he knows he ain't never leaving here alive,

Old man inside,
Helps me with my ignorance,
Old man inside,
Helps me with my violence,

[Chorus]

Woowoowoo...
You failed modern man,
Woowoowoo...
Life force given' up somehow,
Woowoowoo...
Well, you failed modern man,
Woowoowoo...

Voices calling in my head,
Tell me that I'll soon be dead,
Schizophrenic paranoid,
All of this I can't avoid,

Down the halls I hear the screams,
Homicidal tendencies,
Bring me closer to my soul,
Once again I loose control,

[chorus]
My creation... Manipulation...
Life's a constant daydream...
My creation... Manipulation...

Life in the Asylum...

These four walls I call my home,
Proof I can't live on my own,
Threatened by society,
Oh! When I remember sanity,

See my mind play tricks on me,
Why don't these doctors let me be,
(where they gonna take you?)
In a matter of disgust,
(i'll be desensitized)
Human nature I don't fuckin' trust!

[chorus]

My mental heath...(mental heath)
It isn't well...(isn't well)
As I lie in a padded cell...(padded cell)
Plastic smile...(plastic smile)
From Doctor Death...(doctor death)
Assuring me...
It's all in my head...(it's all in my head)

(all these fuckin' lies)(x4)

Is this real?
All that I fell?
Christen death...
As I break the seal...
Now I live...
In my denial...
All my passes I reconciled...

Voices calling in my head,
Tell me that I should be da-da-dead,
Schizophrenic paranoid,
All of this I can't avoid,

Down the halls I hear the screams,
Homicidal tendencies,
(where we wanna take you...)
Bring me closer to my soul,
(i'll be desensitized)
Once again I loose control,

[chorus]
[chorus]

Damn!
I see, catastrophe...
I feel a thousand that die,
Just for what I say,
I see, the ignorance...
I feel the ration around,
Must have slipped away,
Get with it!
I hear, the screams of pain,
Once again...
A muthafucker get shamed,
Well I can't, relate to me,
Things I've done...
I'm dealing with the pain,
[chorus]
Surface, something inside me,
Drives me, out of my mind,
Serving, something behind me,
(give it up, give it up, give it up)
The Freakshow!
I've done my time in jail,
I've been institutionalized,
Just for the simple fact,
I elevate my fuckin' mind,
I look into my past,
All that I've said and done,
All this it leads me back,
I'm another one, gotta get ready!
Pumping, the blood in my veins,
I lost control,
Like a runaway train,
Scared to death, of my own self,
Gotta cut my flesh,
Just to feel the pain,
[chorus]
I've done my time in jail,
I've been institutionalized,
You've got to change your life,
Close the door and lock the door behind you,
I look into my past,
All that I've said and done,
All this it leads me back,
I'm another one, gotta get ready!

[chorus]
Pearls and gold...
Is all she wants to know,
Sell my soul...
It's all she's ever known,
Poison arrow,
Piercing through my head,
Sends her to a place,
In which she dreads,
And she goes!
Life was ticking away!
[chorus]
Give it up!
Life was ticking away!
Revelations as I take my time, (take my time)
Try to find me some piece of mind, (piece of mind)
I can't see me living one more day... without you! (you)
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN' ON!!!!
Got to give it up!
Life was ticking away!
Breakin' up!
Life was ticking away!
Inject in my veins,
concoction,
I can't stop the burning,
I feel injection,
As it makes me high,
Makes me crazy,
(out of my mind)
Our love is suicide,
[chorus]
I can feel the fire raging up,
Tearing through the path that we have gone,
More a mystically where I can't see,
Ashes blowing through passing breeze,
Shoot it up!
Life was ticking away,
Give it up!
Life was ticking away,

Tears fall down the window...
Another lonely night,
Staring down a barrel...
A loaded .45,

And who are my friends today...
Juts a face in this masquerade,
Well I'm in love with nothing,
A taste of suicide...

It burns me to the ground...
It rules me with a frown...
Save my soul... not again,
All that's dead inside you,

Face my fault like a friend,
Oh no... I wish I never met you,
Raised on this apathy,
That's in the air,

Save my soul... not again,
I've seen the end...
Faces in the mirror,
Of a tired man,

Longing for the freedom,
Waiting in my hand,
And what would my mother say,
When they lower me in the grave,

I'm in love with nothing,
A taste of suicide...
It burns me to the ground...
It rules me with a frown...

Save my soul... not again,
All that's dead inside you,
Face my fault like a friend,
Oh no... I wish I never met you,

Raised on insanity,
That's in the air,
Save my soul... not again,
I've seen... I won't...

I'll wake above the fire,
(to see now in her dreams)
Life's over a lonely night, I won't...
I fear the silent cries,

(feel this way again)
Cold chill through the wily night, I won't...
Be brave day to day now kid,
(see another way)
I don't... fear to see the end...

[verse-1]
Just something inside,
My situation,
This life I have to live,
Fuckin' blastin', the everlastin',
Let nature take it course,
No! I don't expect you to understand,
Scandaless, ignorant man,
Crawling under my skin,
Killing you, can't you feel it?
[chorus]
Minds of confusion...
Lookin' for another way,
Constant confusion...
Find a way out,
**************
Turn the page, my life's a failure,
Close the book, on my instant anger,
Listen up, to this confession,
I need another session,
**************
It doesn't really matter to me!
(noooohhhwoooohhh)
You know it doesn't matter to me!
What I got right now, (now)
Another confrontation,
Another day in a concrete nation,
Well I'm scheming, and I'm feening,
DAMN! It leave me dreaming,
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Break you muthafucka!
Gonna beat your ass down!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Minds of confusion!
[chorus]
You got me lying at the bottom,
Of another cold nightmare,
Click, click, bang, bang,
Kill yourself, no pain,
Well it's a vision,
Of a dead conclusion,
Their solution,
Is the penitentiary,
Confusion... confusion... CONFUSION!
[verse-1]
It doesn't really matter to me!
(noooohhhwoooohhh)
You know it doesn't matter to me!
Minds of confusion...
Find a way out!

Looks to me, the older that I get,
Well known, the more I seem to regret,
Could it be, they pacified my mind,
Well I know, I don't think so,
Gang!
Another war machine, (x2)
Locked up, and throw away the key,
You say, I'm something you don't want to see,
You look at me, I'm all that you detest,
How so? You helped create me,
Gang!
Another war machine, (x3)
Gang... another!
Oh Father,
I don't seem to know,
How to be living,
My brother,
Save yourself,
Before your life is stepped in,
Because they got you where they want you!
I live my live, fueled with lack of self-esteem,
Just to make it, well I've got to take it, break it,
Locked down, in a So-Cal correctional facility,
Who tried, correct me, reject me, erase me,
Looks to me, I never had a chance,
It grows, it hits away my every plans,
Now will I learn, to live another way,
Oh No! I don't think so!
Gang!
Another war machine! (x3)
Gang... another!

I was raised in the streets,
Of this rundown town of L.A.
Seen three of my homeboys,
Shot dead... 1-8-7,

Time in the nuthouse,
Medicate my brain,
Mind of a lunatic,
Diagnosed insane,

18 with a bullet,
Invincible,
18 with a bullet,
Live my life like a criminal,

18 with a bullet,
On the track,
18 with a bullet,
Maniac!

When I turned 18,
I bought my first machine,
AK-47... psychotic dream,
It's just too bad,

It turned out this way,
A victim of the streets,
On the hope, the pray,
18 with a bullet,

Invincible,
18 with a bullet,
Live my life like a criminal,
18 with a bullet,

On the track,
18 with a bullet,
Maniac!
People die on the streets of L.A. constantly,

Man blames society...
For the insight into my reality,
I'll be sure to get you...
Before you get me...!

Hit it!

18 with a bullet,
Invincible,
18 with a bullet,
Live my life like a...

This abrasion,
Always in my head,
Everyday the sins,
The day they shot you dead,
Well, there was nothing that I could do,
Got to get revenge the best I knew,
In my head, I hear me talkin' to you,
I'll never forget you,
Everything we went through,
End desire, in the line of fire,
Once you went, I got bent,
I've been there ever since,
Mass confusion,
A mind filled with revenge,
Well, there was nothing that I could do,
Or nothing I could say...
In my head, I hear me talkin' to you,
I'll never forget you,
Everything we went through,
End desire, in the line of fire, (x2)
Smile now... and cry another day...
A shot rings out tonight,
I'm down... knowing that you're gone...
I know, well I'm gonna miss you,
All the power that we've gone trough... VIOLENCE!
Went away when I saw you... LIFELESS!
Lying dead on the street in a bloodbath,
Well I never thought they'd get you!
All the time living life on the wild,
With all the homeboys kickin' on the corner,
But now I stand here watching you die, WHY!!!
I lost my mind when...
I saw you... dead!
We thought we'd never die,
What a lie!
And now the they've killed you,
I'm seeing red!
This abrasion,
Always in my head,
Everyday the sins,
The day they shot you dead,
Well, there was nothing that I could do,
Got to get revenge the best I knew,
In my head, I hear me talkin' to you,
I'll never forget you,
Everything we went through,
End desire, in the line of fire, (x2)
Smile now... and cry another day...
I know... I'm gonna miss you...

Looking through the pages of my,
Fading memories I,
Stumble on a younger day,
Something's in a better way,
Living in another time,
Same old song,
But different rhyme,
Innocents was put to rest,
Burdens lying on my chest,
Another day has come to pass,
Another vision from the past,
As a youngster I was told,
Time can never be controlled,
I remember better times... (x4)
What you know will surely change,
Those you love will fade away,
Broken dreams I can't deny,
As I see life pass me by...
Looking through the pages of my,
Fading memories I,
Stumble on a younger day,
Time keeps moving...
I keep loosing...
I remember better times... (x4)
