Hey, you- dude standin outside the venue Askin everyone if they’re Straight Edge If they say yes, you will offer your hand Bur if they say no, you tell them to “learn the truth” But it’s up to them, what they do with their lives If they like to drink, well that’s just fine Who the fuck’re you, to tell them what’s right What happened to the freedom to choose? So fuck your conversions, fuck all your rules And treating non-Edgers as if they were fools People like you give Straight Edge a bad name Persecuting those who don’t feel the same Well it’s true that I am Straight Edge myself But that’s because it works for me I don’t give a fuck how you enjoy yourself Just don’t fucking judge me cuz I’m clean Even though I live the same way, I won’t Perpetuate your stupid clichés Did you forget why we’re all even here It’s about the music, not the fucking beer So fuck your conventions, fuck all your rules Those Xs on your hands make you look like a tool I may be Straight Edge myself, but I just gotta say Fascist elitism is never okay Yeah, fascist elitism is never okay

Little Fox Girl you are small and fair Racing through the forest with your thin tangled hair The forest where you dwell protecting your from harm Away from mischief trouble but not immune to dark charm Because in the forest there shadows a beast Dark, handsome, delirious to say in the least Through the mist to meet her he comes from the dark Quite ready to steal that little foxes heart Now I'm screaming bloody murder how did I get myself into this mess? I will rip my teeth out one by one and sew them onto my dress Now I'm screaming bloody murder how did I get myself into this mess? I will rip my teeth out one by one and sew them onto my dress Curiosity killed the cat a wise owl once said When the cat turned around she ended up dead Eaten by the wolf her body's now gone Just looking to impress, oh where did she go wrong? Well that stupid Fox Girl she could not resist a look The price that she paid was her sanity he took With his back turned away his views are hazy Calling her insane when it's he who drives her crazy! Now I'm screaming bloody murder how did I get myself into this mess? I will rip my teeth out one by one and sew them onto my dress Now I'm screaming bloody murder how did I get myself into this mess? I will rip my teeth out one by one and sew them onto my dress ~~~ With an expected twist in fate he spits out the cat For his fox lady friend he'd do much more than that He pulls his teeth out and places them on a string Places them in her hand and says~ 'Remember me when you sing'

Poe (free) 02:59
Little Marshall enjoyed the woods He’d stay out all night if he could But with his mom yelling go to bed He could only dream about the forest in his head But then one night Marshall stayed up late Ignoring his mothers cries of hate He ran from his house into the deep Forest, unknowing what in the darkness creeped Faster and faster, he ran through the woods Far from his home away from where he should Be, the night is too dark for a child, Too cold, too black, too grim and too wild Marshall spotted a tree it was black and tall But underneath it there was a beast that was calling out! oh, what a blood thirsty shriek It sprung and chased poor Marshall into the deep As Marshall was running he wondered why He had left his house, he was sure to die In the forest, a cabin, there was still hope! God had finally thrown little Marshall a rope Chorus A man in the cabin let Marshall in He slammed the door with a toothy grin With the beast outdoors and the man inside There was plainly no place for Marshall to hide Marshall came to see he had lost the chase The man grabbed his arm with a forceful embrace That was it for poor Marshall, there was no way out He opened his mouth but he could not shout The beast crashed through the window mangling the man Marshall fell to the floor releasing his hand Marshall saw in the light it was little dog Poe! His trusty black lab had vanquished his foe! With the moon down low and the sun rising up What a frightful night he had endured with his pup They trotted side by side out of the wood Trailing behind them.. a puddle of the mans blood

Corpse Grinding Woman (free) 03:42
When relationships are in the pits and nothin's goin' right I'll take a trip to the graveyard and I'll pick out a site A fresh new grave, a corpse I crave, I'll dig him up tonight He won't scream or cuss or raise a fuss and we won't ever fight I know the chances were so slim for you and I to date But I thank god for mortality, now you can be my mate I know that you've been dead awhile, I honestly don't mind 'Cause you still have that tender smile, and you've always been so kind Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy But I just don't understand why a Dead boy's gotta be the one true love for me I'm a corpse grindin' woooooman I'll dress you in that lingerie that I bought for myself I'll paint you in the makeup that's been sittin' on my shelf And you and I will have a ball, I swear to God it's true 'Cause baby, you were meant for me and I was meant for you Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy But I just don't understand why a Dead boy's gotta be the one true love for me I'm a corpse grindin' woooooman Be dead for me, my baby (BE DEAD BE DEAD) Be dead for me, my baby Be dead for me, my baby Oh baby, til death do we start Your skin it has turned grey, and there's pus oozing out your eyes But that doesn't bother me 'cause you won't ever tell me lies Relationships I've had in the past have messed me up for good But I know you'll never leave me baby Even if you could Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy But I just don't understand why a Dead boy's gotta be the one true love for me I'm a corpse grindin' wooooman Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy Cold and wet and dirty, you're lookin' mighty purdy HARLEY POE COVER

Set Ourselves Free (free) 03:14
well everyone's got something they're afraid of, and my dear i fear losing you. but don't think i won't be there if you need me, it's just sometimes i get scared too. and i know that my fears are unfounded, it's just this thing that builds inside my brain. if i could just remember what you told me, you said fear leads to shame and your not to blame. but now as we go down this long dark road, we'll keep our eyes fixed on one another. with your hand in mine and some trust and a smile we'll know there's no hill too big for us to climb. so we'll reach for the stars, but if we land on the moon, it's all right cause we know we did the best we could do, no regrets, don't forget that sometimes life is hard. i felt like shit when i left and you wanted me to stay, but i felt good when i was broke, because i gave it all away. oh it's weird and it's strange, but it's nice when things work out that way. so we fight with our heads held high, and we won't back down from these wars in this world, from these wars in our souls. we just have to believe...we set ourselves free. i looked down on the graves from the marta train and i wondered if anybody ever really gets saved, or is it just something people tell themselves to make it through the day. but just know that everything is gonna be all right, death is too hard to conceptualize. i think we save ourselves when we laugh with our friends, when we cry. so we fight with our heads held high, and we won't back down, from these wars in this world, from these wars in our souls. we just have to believe... we set ourselves free.

Thanks Bastards (free) 02:39
Thank you Mr. Officer Great for all the things you said to me, for all the good that you have ever done. Without you, what would I be, you're the gas upon my flames, my love and rage all rolled up into one. For every time your gun goes off, and new rebel is born. So when there's 41 bullets, there's 41 thousand thorns in your side We'll take a ride down to Precinct 29, and we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence. Thank you governor Thank you governor To the mayor and The commissioner Your monster is alive now she's taken to the streets crashing through your opera house and tearing at the seats For all the times you sign your name, someone out there dies Found a wallet, not a gun Your mother's wipin' tears From her eyes We despise Your hollow truths and honest lies Now you can sing the monster into slumber THANKS BASTARDS! You made me what I am THANKS BASTARDS! I took the goods and ran THANKS BASTARDS! You made me what I am THANKS BASTARDS! I took the goods and ran I took the goods and ran X3 Homeland security vs civil liberty I'm studying in the shadows of our state I've seen the bones they tried to hide Cutthroat living other side The flood of US bath water displaced The funeral march of all the victims of your power war Have robbed the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born for ever more you're the storm we should play after it pours And joy is sure to come after your silence. THANKS BASTARDS! You made me what I am THANKS BASTARDS! I took the goods and ran THANKS BASTARDS! You made me what I am THANKS BASTARDS! I took the goods and ran I took the goods and ran X3 MISCHIEF BREW COVER

Sink, Florida Sink (free) 01:27
Not one more word tonight between here and there We'll put a distance the size of the ocean so now this heart can beat a skipping rhythm As the cadence carries me I almost drift away far enough to forget but when it comes you cannot hesitate and when found i will write an account and seal it in an envelope addressed to your last known residence Whoaaaa. whoa - oh - oh - ah - ohhh woah - oh - oh - ah - ohhhhh woah - oh - oh - ohhhhhh And we sink, and we drown and what is lost can never be found well these arms did swim, until the lungs pulled in panic was lost in a deep understanding that you did see what is wrong with everything what is wrong with you and me they make all the right reasons to fuck it up you're gonna fuck it up Whoaaaa. whoa - oh - oh - ah - ohhh woah - oh - oh - ah - ohhhhh woah - oh - oh - ohhhhhh AGAINST ME!
