Spilt Milk 04:44
Get the kiddies hooked on Ritalin Find the chemical cure for depression Blue pills kill my anxiety They take the focus off the ache inside of me That fuckin’ girl… That fuckin’ girl That fuckin’ girl… That fuckin’ girl I got a girl, she spreads like cancer It’s your song, sick, tiny dancer We need a shot for the rock star virus (I spilled everything) To stop the heart of the worm inside of us (I spilled everything) I know a Mommy that takes her kitty cat’s Valium Looks like the kitties aren’t the ones with problems They keep her head screwed on with Prozac I guess it works a bit better than cognac That fuckin’ girl… That fuckin’ girl That fuckin’ girl… That fuckin’ girl I got a girl, she spreads like cancer It’s your song, sick, tiny dancer We need a shot for the rock star virus (I spilled everything) To stop the heart of the worm inside of us (I spilled everything) We got the pretty girls hooked on heroin. Librium…Valium…Opium…everyone…. I can’t kick it

Relentless 03:36
Flat on your back Better pick up the slack The world wont wait forever And you're holding it back
 Flat on your back
 Better pick up the slack
 The world is pretty pissed off
 And its gonna kick your ass

, 'cause it's... Unfuckingforgiving
 And it never rests It's unfuckingforgiving
 It only wants to see you dead 
Brought to your knees
 by the weight of it all
 The world don’t give a damn 
if you succeed or you fall

 Down on your knees 
and you're begging again The world can't comprehend how you don’t understand

 that it's... Unfuckingforgiving
 And it never rests It's unfuckingforgiving
 It only wants to see you dead Close your eyes
 (it will take everything)
 Close you eyes 
(until the very last breath) Close your eyes
(tune in tune out)
 And turn off your mind Get up on your feet, get up off of your knees
 We've run out of time and now its down to do or die All the thoughts and prayers, they devalue over time Unlike the bodies stacked a couple million high Don’t buy it
 Not for a second
 Don’t buy it
 None of their bullshit
 Don’t buy it
 Not for a moment
 Don’t buy it
 Your life might depend on it 'Cause its
unfuckingforgiving
 And it never rests It's unfuckingforgiving It only wants to see you dead
