Ripe for the Breaking Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You weren't born with the world falling at your feet
The path is long and agonizing
Being dragged on your knees
And the silver spoon in your mouth tastes spoilt with rust
When all that glitters isn't gold
And fortunes turn to dust
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're prime for the raping
[Chorus]
And when you don't pander to meet the agenda
Scavengers start to gather
Perverse visionaries taste the lather
The just rewards in controlled rebellion
Tossed and probed like a gristly piece of meat
Lock, stock, and barrel slave
You just don't contradict big brother
He's got the right to push you under
[Verse 2]
And they pledge you the earth
Then pull you six feet down
And you're branded with the stigma
Unusable dropouts
And with inspiration ravaged
You take the final bow
The creative demeanor
Shattered into a million pieces
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're ripe for the breaking
(Chorus)
And when you don't pander to meet the agenda
Scavengers start to gather
Perverse visionaries taste the lather
The just rewards in controlled rebellion
Tossed and probed like a gristly piece of meat
Lock, stock, and barrel slave
You just don't contradict big brother
He's got the right to push you under
[Outro]
Slave (slave)
Slave (slave)
Slave (slave)
Slave (slave)
My Own Worst Enemy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Played out, wide off the mark
Mania develops
Akin to fiction
More than to a world of fact
[Chorus]
My own worst enemy
My own worst enemy
Life's foul treachery
My own worst enemy
[Verse 2]
Dams of emotions build
A dull and turbid screen
Clouding veils of black
In jungles of hopes oppressed
[Chorus]
My own worst enemy
My own worst enemy
Life's foul treachery
My own worst enemy
[Bridge]
So many times
For no reason
So many promised punches
For what reason?
Ceaseless decay
Parallel obscene and flagrant
Ceaseless decay
Restrained my mind coils
So many times
For no reason
So many promised punches
For what reason?
Ceaseless decay
Parallel obscene and flagrant
Ceaseless decay
Restrained my mind coils
[Verse 1]
Played out, wide off the mark
Mania develops
Akin to fiction
More than to a world of fact
[Chorus]
My own worst enemy
My own worst enemy
Life foul treachery
Dogma Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Innocence
A painful reminescene
Of what was not
And will never be
Meant not for me
An unjust war
On the futile
[Chorus]
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
[Verse 2]
Scraps of memories
Flung from our master's table
A plan I'm sure to disable
Allegiance to none other
Allegiance to none other
(Chorus)
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
[Post-Chorus]
Regenerate a healing catharsis
That bursts, meaningless
Regenerate a healing catharsis
That bursts, meaningless
[Bridge]
Graceful - selfish will
The chilling thrill
A play on the nerves to end "all serves"
As penance
To a man's drying tear
We leer but deny ourselves
Graceful - a selfish will
The chilling thrill
A play on the nerves to end "all serves"
As penance
To a man's drying tear
We leer but deny ourselves
[Post-Chorus]
Regenerate a healing catharsis
That bursts, meaningless
Regenerate a healing catharsis
That bursts, meaningless
[Chorus]
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
Bludgeoning my affection wide open
Cries of overkill
Corrosive Elements Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Staying on an even keel
Keeping a gauge
Sanity hags in the balance
Could go either way
Celberal half life
The darkest summer days
My pressure defences
Melting away
[Verse 2]
'Cause I can't level this brimming, seething dread
My pressure defences melting away
[Bridge 1]
With anxiety I'm burning!
With anxiety I'm burning!
With anxiety I'm burning!
With anxiety I'm burning!
[Bridge 2]
Stripping down to the core
Stripping down to the core
Stripping down to the core
Stripping down to the core
[Chorus]
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements inducing
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements that sap being
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements inducing
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements that sap being
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements inducing
Corrosive elements, corrosive elements that sap being
Corrosive elements, joy toxin
Corrosive elements, please cleanse me
[Outro]
Please cleanse me
Please cleanse me
Please cleanse me
Please cleanse me
