Criminal Damage - No Solution


Criminal Damage
No Solution
2007

1) MY ESCAPE

as i greet another day and my mind begins to think
the last one rushes back and the weight is back again
sleep a brief respite from a hole inside my chest
gotta keep moving on and make it through the day
time is supposed to heal, but nothing seems to change
just want to get myself and my head in a better place

want to feel the world rush by and put my pain
behind me, put a hundred miles between it and me
want to feel my nerves slow down as adrenaline passes
through me. need a lonely road just to get away

spent another night nursing pain inside my room
drinking doesn't help when it's only just too soon
know a false way out isn't gonna ease my pain this time
gotta get away and give my mind a break
need to face the world, but there's only so much i can take
see her living shadow in everything all around me

want to feel the world rush by and put my pain
behind me, put a hundred miles between it and me
want to feel my nerves slow down as adrenaline passes
through me. need a lonely road just to get away

i just want to get away
and make it through another fucked up day
i just want to get away
it's my escape

2) MUDSLINGER

you use your politics as bait
and you're preying on people's sense of shame
you're playing games with people's lives
one day you're gonna realize
that we don't want to hear your shit no more

MUDSLINGER - WE WILL GET THE BEST OF YOU

you talk your shit and you talk too much
but you've got nothing to back it up
this life means too much to me,
'cause i've got nowhere else to be
and we're not gonna take your shit no more

MUDSLINGER - WE WILL GET THE BEST OF YOU

3) THE CHOICE IS CLEAR

another day of work, and i cannot believe
what i'm hearing on the news about the middle east
bombs from above killing indiscriminately, while
the tensions mount against the fleeting hope for peace

global domination is in play
but the real question is: will you participate?
how will you fit in their master plan?
with a gun in your hand?

another military draft doesn't seem a dream
they'll soon stretch thin and come for you and me
i'd rather put a bullet in some fucking brass' brain
than fight an endless war in someone else’s name

global domination is in play
but the real question is: will you participate?
how will you fit in their master plan?
with a gun in your hand?

4) EVERYTHING THAT BLEEDS

feeling numb and lonely
suddenly alone in the world
want to take my mind away
but it hanging on fills the void
never felt this pain before
never felt such a helpless wound
just don't want it all to end
but i know that time's coming soon

don't let it all slip by, don't wait,
don't take one bit for granted
never know when it could end
and you're just left with the memories
don't let a day go by when you know
that nothing lasts forever
everything ends that breathes and bleeds

so black and hopeless,
living feels like a dream
nothing can bring her back
and only time will ease the pain

don't let it all slip by, don't wait,
don't take one bit for granted
never know»when it could end
and you're just left with the memories
don't let a day go by when you know
that nothing lasts forever `
everything ends that breathes and bleeds

5) EMPTY EYES

what will they say about you when they write your history?
will you be known for your ideas or deeds?
or will the days that made up your life be swept away?
a life spent chasing heaven and a sense of immortality

wasted time and a squandered life
living dead with empty eyes
nothing left but numb and cold inside
your life's running out of time

and i don't know if there's meaning in any of this
or if it's just a game until we greet death's kiss
standing alone on the edge of time waiting for it to end
is there a god looking back or was it all a sham?

wasted time and a squandered life
living dead with empty eyes
nothing left but numb and cold inside
your life's run out of time

6) THE HEAT

lost in a dream that's your reality
pushing all of the world's problems far away

don't want to feel the heat
of the blazing fire around you
just want to wish it all away
anywhere you go the heat will find you

put a smiling face on a festering wound
but your rich facade is gonna crumble soon

don't want to feel the heat
of the blazing fire around you
just want to wish it all away
anywhere you go the heat will find you

7) MEDIA CASUALTIES

the night was hot and bleak but we weren't there
running through the streets but we weren't there
was the blood of the faceless that they call the enemy
and they kill in our name but we weren't there
and it's feels out of our reach cause we weren't there
just far enough away to obscure our reality

living in the comfort of our streets
safe from the war that we won’t ever see
we will not see the bodies in the streets
blood of our loved ones under our feet
just another yellow ribbon and number on the TV screen

they hide their own casualties so we won't care
it's all planned so well so we won't care
the lesson was learned well from another time and war
so they keep it all clean and we won't care
just control what we see and we won't care
sometimes i just can't believe how far they'll go

living in the confines of our streets
safe from the war that we won't ever see
we will not see the bodies in the streets
blood of our loved ones under our feet
just another yellow ribbon and number on the TV screen

8) WWIII

bombs are falling from blood-red skies
no reflections in helpless eyes
that have seen the horror of war
hell has opened at their front door

the living legacy of mankind-
the shadow of violence in our minds
war-scarred earth and feverish times
the manifestation of what's inside
will we ever see something more?
all this has been done before
a chaotic world in a chaotic craze
rolling forward towards a third world war

world war three, is it gonna be?
the future is a repeat of history...

9) NO SOLUTION

when you feel like you've got no voice
cause there doesn't seem to be a choice
all you see is a mess and all you seem to hear is noise

it doesn't matter which way you want to go
doesn't matter which side is right or wrong-
THERE'S NO SOLUTION

and we've all been there before
where the answers don't seem clear
it's all a tangled mess and we just don't want any more

doesn't matter which way i want to go
doesn't matter which side is right or wrong-
THERE‘S NO SOLUTION

doesn't matter which way i want to go
doesn't matter which side is right or wrong now
doesn't matter what i think is best to do
doesn't matter if i refuse to believe
THERE'S NO SOLUTION

10) VICTORY

day to day, conflicted
feels every choice is limited
even compromise is hard to find
everything feels tense again
defense affects every movement
tied in a knot that won't unwind

still feel and live inside the fire of passion
no amount of pain can take it away
gotta have a means to live
just want to feel what content is
even if it's chasing a futile dream

when the day comes
when we won't have to fight
when our pride is nonexistent
when we won't have to hide
inside shells of fear and loathing
when we won't have to find
ways to justify our means of living
we will have already won the revolution

1) THE POWER OF FOOLS

THERE’S SEVEN DAYS LEFT OF SUMMER,
BUT I STILL FEEL THE HEAT
IT’S NOT JUST THE BURNING SUN
BUT THE ANGER IN THE STREETS
WITH BLISTERED FEET AND A MOUTH TO FEED
WE FIGHT TO SURVIVE AND MAKE ENDS MEET,
BUT THE PRESSURE’S ON AND IT WON’T E GONE
IN THE PASSING OF A WEEK

AND IT WON’T BE STOPPED BY RAIN
AND TIME WON’T EASE THIS SUFFERING
ALL I KNOW IS WE FIGHT FOR WHAT WE NEED
AND I AIN'T GOT IT THAT HARD YOU KNOW
BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP THE RADIO
FROM TELLING US THAT “WE KNOW WHAT
YOU NEED, BUT WE DON'T CARE"

SOME DAY GO BY THAT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE,
BUT I DON'T WANNA TAKE MY LIFE
AND THOUGH IT ALL FEELS SO HOPELESS NOW,
I CAN’T GIVE UP THE FIGHT
THEIR PROPAGANDA FILLS UP THE STREETS
AND IT BLOCKS UP THE AIRWAVES
AND THE END DOESN’T SEEM TO BE IN SIGHT
AND THERE’S NO ONE TO TAKE BLAME

AND IT WON’T BE STOPPED BY RAIN
AND TIME WON’T EASE THIS SUFFERING
ALL I KNOW IS WE FIGHT FOR WHAT WE NEED
AND I AIN*T GOT IT THAT HARD YOU KNOW
BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP THE RADIO,
FROM TELLING US THAT, "WE KNOW WHAT
YOU NEED, BUT WE DON’T CARE"

AND IT WON’T BE STOPPED BY RAIN
AND TIME WON’T EASE THIS SUFFERING
ALL I KNOW IS WE FIGHT FOR WHAT WE NEED
WELL I AIN'T GOT IT THAT HARD YOU KNOW
BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP THE RADIO
FROM TELLING US "WE KNOW WHAT YOU NEED,
BUT WE DON’T CARE

2) NO TURNING BACK

WHEN THE WORLD HAS BURNED ITS BRIDGES
AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK
WE WILL ALL FIND OUT WHAT HELL IS

WILL WE CALL THIS ALL ENOUGH?
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE.
AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK

WHEN WE’VE LOST OUR SENSE OF JUSTICE
AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK
A DEAD HORSE BEATEN SENSELESS

WILL WE CALL THIS ALL ENOUGH?
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK

EVIL IS NOT JUST A FIGURE IN HISTORY
AND GOOD CANNOT BE FOUND IN THE HOPE
OF A DISTANT FUTURE’S DREAM

AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK

3) LAST CHANCE

PUSHING BIBLES, PUSHING POLITICS
IT’S ALL THE SAME
MEANS DICTATING ENDS IN A
MINDFUCK POWER GAME
WHAT YOU WANT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU’LL NEVER GET FROM ME
COMPLETE CONTROL, YOU WANT IT ALL
IN THE NAME OF ANARCHY

CONTROLLING PEOPLE’S MINDS WITH
THEIR HEARTS- IT’S NOTHING NEW
DON’T NEED IT FROM THE POPE AND
I SURE AS HELL DON’T NEED IT FROM YOU
YOU TALK ABOUT OPPRESSION AND
YOU TALK OF ANARCHY
BUT SPEAK IT LIKE A FASCIST-
JUST DON'T FUCKING SPEAK TO ME

LAST CHANCE! LAST CHANCE!
WE DON'T NEED YOUR BULLSHIT
WE DON'T NEED YOUR ATTITUDE
WE DON'T WANNA BE YOUR
FOOTLSOLDIERS ANYMORE

I'M SICK OF TALK, I'M SICK OF ALL
THE DAMAGE THAT YOU DO
I'M SICK OF ALL THE DOGMA THAT
YOU USE AND YOU ABUSE
YOUR LUST FOR POWER HAS HAD IT’S DAY
AND NOW THAT DAY IS THROUGH
WE WON'T TAKE ANY MORE ABUSE
WE’RE FUCKING DONE WITH YOU

LAST CHANCE! LAST CHANCE!
WE DON'T NEED YOUR BULLSHIT
WE DON'T NEED YOUR ATTITUDE
WE DON’T WANNA BE YOUR
FOOTSOLDIERS ANYMORE

4) WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH

BORN INTO THIS WORLD WITH ALL
YOU NEED- BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
PUSHING YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE
USING POWER AND GREED-
BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
AND HOW COULD YOU THINK YOU’D EVER
NEED MORE? BUT YOU BROUGHT THAT SHIT
TO OUR FRONT DOOR...
AND NOW YOU’VE FOUND IT’S TIME TO TURN
BACK TO THE LIFE THAT YOU LEFT WAITING INTACT

NO TIME TO BURN YOUR BRIOGES,
BURN IT ALL AND MOVE ON
NO WAY TO FIND YOUR FUTURE,
NOT WITH A PAST FULL OF LIES
YOU COULD NEVER GO BACK

WEARING GUILT LIKE A BADGE UPON YOUR
SLEEVE- BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
NOT SURE OF THE THINGS YOU DO BELIEVE-
BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
BUT YOU KNOW THAT THE KEY TO YOUR POWER
IS FOUND IN THE WAY THAT YOU PUSH OTHER
PEOPLE AROUND BUT YOU STILL DIDN’T FIND THE
ANSWERS AND YOUR PROBLEMS DID NOT GO AWAY

NO TIME TO BURN YOUR BRIDGES,
BURN IT ALL AND MOVE ON
NO WAY TO FIND YOUR FUTURE,
NOT WITH A PAST FULL OF LIES
YOU COULD NEVER GO BACK

DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT TO BE
BUT THIS PLACE WON’T SATISFY YOUR DREAMS
WE'VE YOUR SEEN KIND COME AND GO BEFORE AND
WE'LL BE SURE TO HELP YOU TO FIND THE DOOR

BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE IT ALL
BUT WE WON’T TAKE THE FALL

5) ON GOES THE FIGHT

SOME DAY I WAKE AND OPEN UP MY EYES
TO THE DULL AND DISMAL CLOUDY WINTER SKIES
IT’S 10 AM AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF BED
AND FACE THE DEMONS SWIMMING IN MY HEAD

'CAUSE ON GOES THE FIGHT
JUST TO SLEEP ANOTHER NIGHT
‘CAUSE I FIGHT TO SEE DEPRESSION
NOT WIN OVER ME

SOME DAYS I LAY AWAKE IN MY BED
I CAN’T SHAKE THE THOUGHTS INSIDE MY HEAD
THE WEIGHT OF A WORLD WITH NO HOPE
TOO HEAVY, TOO MUCH PAIN TO COPE

AND ON GOES THE FIGHT...

6) WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE?

BORN INTO THIS WORLD WITHOUT A CHOICE,
BUT THAT DON’T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A VOICE
POWER IS A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE
THE LIFE THAT YOU LIVE IS THE ONE YOU MAKE

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE?

DRAGGED AROUND, KICKED OUT ON THE STREETS
THE LIFE THAT HE LED WAS ALL TOO BLEAK
LIVED HIS OWN LIFE FROM THE DISTANCE
DIDN'T WANT TO BE PART OF THE SYSTEM

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE?

WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?
IS IT YOUR FUTURE OR IS IT A GRAVE?

7) TOMORROW

LULLED INTO A TIMELESS VOID
IN THIS OVERWHELMING WORLD
NO SENSE OF VVHAT TO DO TOOAY,
IT DON’T MATTER ANYWAY
NIHILISM’S WINNING ME AGAIN

FIGHT, FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING
YOU GOTTA FIGHT 'CAUSE NOTHING IS FOR FREE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING

THE PAIN OF THE WORLD HAS GOT ME DOWN
CAN’T GET MY HOPES OFF THE GROUND
BUT I WON’T WAIT AROUND AND CRY ABOUT
THE PAST AND WASTED TIME
THE FUTURE’S MINE AND NO ONE'S
GONNA CHANGE IT BUT ME

FIGHT, FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING
YOU GOTTA FIGHT "CAUSE NOTHING IS FOR FREE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING

8) ANESTHESIA

I REMEMBER ONCE A TIME WHEN WE
WERE YOUNG AND FREE
WITH OUR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF US
WE RAN WILD IN THE STREETS
AND HE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF US
AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE
BUT ONE DAY LIFE CAUGHT UP TO HIM
AND LEFT HIM IN THE FRAY

BUT NOW THAT’S HE’S OLDER,
LIFE COULD NEVER BE THE SAME
ALL HE WANTED WAS SOMETHING
TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN

AND HE FOUND HIMSELF IN A MINDLESS DAZE
IN A DULL AND SENSELESS LIFE
HE WORKED AWAY HIS DAY AND
HE DRANK AWAY HIS NIGHTS
ONE DAY AS HE STARED INTO THE
BOTTOM OF AN EMPTY GLASS
HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD NO QUESTIONS
MORE THAT HE COULD ASK

BUT NOW THAT’S HE’S OLDER,
LIFE COULD NEVER BE THE SAME
ALL HE WANTED WAS SOMETHING
TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN

SO SIT BACK AND LAUGH
AND TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN
LIFE IS SO MUCH EASIER
WITHOUT ALL THE PAIN
SO SIT BACK AND DRINK
ONE MORE TO THE DAYS
THAT HAVE GONE BY
JUST KEEP YOUR HEART IN YESTERDAY
AND KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE
