Raw Nerve - Raw Nerve Lyrics
1. Secondhand
images flash from end to start
first i'm born then ripped apart
digits change but you don't get it
your fucking view's so limited
i'm not here, but i'm here somewhere
2. Origin of Species
born to live and die in shit
but you're too proud to admit
forced to work and wade in shit
and it makes me fucking sick
nose in the sky
can't smell a stench that reaches so high
3. Gas Can
new friends know a clever trick
spread the stench of flesh through as thick
as the sun sets through the forest leaves
learn how some laugh while some just grieve
the truth is written on your face
but watch as the forest leaves
learn how some laugh while some just grieve
the truth is written on your face
but watch as the victim takes the blame
a bad day forgotten before too long
just a bad day, "a prank gone wrong"
favorite's played so i understand how you were caught with a gas can in hand
and just caught on a bad fucking day
4. Cock of the Walk
shake your hand
i'll never wash mine again
cock of the walk
king of the dead
brain dead
not a word to be said
horse led to water
but drink piss instead
brain dead
5. Lawns
suburban lawns hide homes that are tombs
closets with skeletons stacked next to brooms
a car left running with the garage door closed
breeding, dying, rotting
what a fancy rope you've made
6. Beech Grove
cursed with eyes in the front of my head
strapped and tied to a sterilized bed
bars and gates, what a wonderful way
to spend your of sun a day
welcome to beech grove
fed through a fucking hole in the wall
if my eyes could see, i'd rip them out
simple solutions to simple problems
hardly remains the contents of your coffin
welcome to beech grove
7. Weeds
spewing out the hate within
ignorant views are thin
crooked teeth is where this leads
ignorant views sprout up like weeds
i'm not impressed and i'm not shocked
cut out like weeds
8. You Live
if it's not done right
it's more trouble than it's worth
pray for death
but you'll get much worse
9. Skinned
(instrumental)
10. Born Under a Bad Sign
struggle forth on bad decisions
in denial, superstitious
it's your hand that turns the crank
it's your feet that stay in place
no fate
just self-hate
it's your choice, you choose to lose
me vs. me, and you vs. you
garbage in, garbage out
11. Cold One
souls grow old but here's the catch
handed down a world to match
safe and sound on murky ground
knees shake from fear or frost?
don't you know what they say about the path to hell?
make a bet and i won't tell
it's a cold one
you got what you want so what's the matter?
what's left of your teeth start to chatter
what's wrong?
12. Crosses
your faith in fiction's your cross to bear
13. Hemlock
dragged face down in the dirt
i want to be the hands that choke out your last words
last chance to see your life's work
the shit, and the filth, and the hell on earth
if you can do it, then so can i
drowned in hubris, hung from your pride
if you can do it, then so can i
dragged face down in the dirt
i want to be the hands that choke out your last words
i wanna be the poison that shuts your body down
an x on every fucking crown
14. Children
always love the ones we hurt
last hope dragged through the dirt
kicks turn to screams
let me back in
