" The Deal" written by Mark Lester
Who's the man with eyes of ice,
no one knows, but he sets that price.
Watch his face when the deal's goin' down,
you'll spent your money for the best around.
You take it hard, they take it easy.
You're day will come, they like to tease you.
I've heard the lies, but it's always the same,
the rich get richer, and the poor get the blame.
You get one ounce of pleasure, for one pound of pain.
That's the trade they offer in life's little game.
You get one ounce of pleasure, for one pound of pain
That's the trade they offer, that's the price that you'll pay.
"Euthanasia" written by Mark Lester
Same day, different shit. Day-mare, cold sweat.
New beginning, old friend. Blind faith, bitter end.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia
Euthanasia
Euthanasia
Fools gold, true lies. Off white, warm good-byes.
Sinking feeling, dumb luck. Dead tired, endless love.
Chorus x 2
" I Can't Believe this World " written by Mark Lester
The crazy neighbor's gotta' fuck'n 44.
Off'd his old lady right through the bathroom door.
Here comes johnny-law to help things even more.
Now his the mother-fucker bleed'n on the floor.
I can't believe this fuck'n world it's gett'n crazy.
That's why the people's minds are gett'n kinda hazy.
The ground we're stand'n on it's gett'n pretty shakey.
I can't believe this fuck'n world it's gett'n crazy...
The kid across the street's gotta new game that he's play'n.
He's gotta paint can but graffitti he ain't spray'n.
Fills up a bag, inhauls, until he's barely breath'n.
Now he's the brain-dead one forever more a sleep'n.
Chorus/Solo/Chorus
" On the Inside " written by Mark Lester
I've got self-control, well that's a lie. It's like say'n real men don't cry.
I've lived my dreams, dined with kings. I've felt the sting of the south-side scene.
I've been blessed and kissed, and dearly missed.
I've been cursed and damned by the best.
And I'm bigger on the inside than on the outside.
I never wear my heart on my sleeve.
Cause that's just somethin' I don't believe in.
But it does'nt mean, I don't really care.
Time sure flies as the winds blow by. I swear I hear you speak in the breeze.
A day, a week, a life, a love. I know I have you watching me.
In spring-time bloom, the fall's gloom. The season tells the awful true.
Once here to hold, now just memories told. We've seen the end and we've seen the youth.
Chorus/Solo/Chorus
" Shaken Baby Syndrome " written by Mark Lester
Picture on the table, strange thought in my head.
I'm not really able, stranger thoughts to be said.
Are they pictures of the things that are good, to get better.
Are they pictures of the things that are bad, to get worse.
Faces in the picture, past time in my hand.
Fact or merly fiction, future times wind-blown sand.
Chorus
Feelings on the faces, stir emotion in my soul.
Now I see you clearly, stirred emotions as a whole.
Chorus
Picture on the table, strange thought in my head.
I'm not really able, stranger thoughts to be said.
Chorus x 2
" The System " written by Mark Lester
Who are these people, you're putt'n in charge.
Before you choose them, you better look hard.
Cause they will always take, but they'll never give.
And they don't really care how the other half lives.
The system- you know who's to blame.
The system- it's one big pain.
The system- always wastin' my time.
The system- it's your's, it ain't mine.
Freedom of speech, man that's such a joke.
You say somethin' wrong, and they'll cut your throat.
So right the wrongs of, generations past.
They got their way now, but you it can't last.

" Always the One " written by Mark Lester
I meet myself comin' in the back door.
I seen myself look'n in from outside.
I caught myself comin' back for more.
I told myself, listen man this just ain't right.
I'm Always the one to blame.
Ain't that a cry'n shame.
I'm always the one to blame.
Ain't that a god-damned shame.
I heard myself scream'n in my mind.
I felt myself slipp'n threw the past.
I lost myself between the night and day.
I told myself, listen man this just ain't right.

" Carrie's Song " written by Mark Lester
Sweetest Carrie
You mean the world to me.
At night I close my eyes.
And you is what I see.
I hope you feel the same.
I love you now, and will always.
The time when we're apart.
I hold you close, here in my heart.
(And) What i feel for you now, I've felt for no other.
(And) All my dreams, they came true, when you I discovered.
(My) Fate led me straight to you, now I search no further.
(And) What I feel for you now, I've for no other.
My Carrie. You'll always be.
The one and only, forever lovely,
My Carrie.
Your touch, your kiss, your smile.
How I long for you inside.
Your with me all the time.
In my heart, and on my mind.
I think it's safe to say.
Only once, true love comes our way.
(And) For all you gave to me.
I give you the sweetest melody.
Chorus

Verse 1
" DNR " written by Mark Lester
This song is black, and badly shaded.
But it's the true, liked or hated.
It's of the thing, we're all related.
In this one thing, we're matched and mated.
Do not hold me.
Do not scold me.
Do not re-sus-ci-tate.
Do not blame me.
Do not shame me.
Do not re-sus-ci-tate.
That's all I what, it's over-rated.
I'm out of time, and slightly dated.
Let it be clean, unsaturated.
No troubled minds, my breath is baited.
Chorus

Chorus x 2
" When You've Gone " written by Mark Lester
Will there come a day, when you will not wake.
You'll forever sleep, in eternal peace.
Did you see your life, past before your eyes.
Was it worth the wait, or did it make you cry.
When you've gone, gone away.
Will they think of you, and your name.
When you've gone, gone away.
Will they remember you when you've gone, gone away.
The time flew by, where did it go.
What'd you leave behind, will they know.
Chorus x 2
