Gunstars 03:19
Kiss, bang goes my revolver straight into your face. Boom, boom I got a bullet and it is coming your way This is violence. This is license. This is the American way. We’re all soldiers, baby! La Cosa Nostra cowboys. At war on the dance floor. Underneath the party lights. This is shameless, this makes no sense. It’s contagious, I can’t fake this. It’s a virus, it’s a cancer. This is our music today. Sell it out. Sell it now. Take the words that they want and scream it loud. We’re dropping tracks like mortars. We’ll pummel you with our sound. Whether you like it or not, we’ll always be around. This is mainstream, it’s marketing. Go ahead and overplay me. Sell it out. Sell it now. Take the words that they want and scream it loud. Oh no! We’re riding in on a tank. You take that shit to the bank. We’re going boneless baby! Get auto tuned for me. I don’t know what I’m doing but I know what I’ve seen before. Isn’t that all it takes to get my name up on the boards? Sorry Jim and sorry Johnny. I didn’t have the talent it takes. Sell it out. Sell it now. Take the words that they want and scream it loud. We are Gunstars! We are Gunstars! Now take that radio bullet and put it straight through your head.

Catalyst 03:49
Call it what you will but you know you crossed the line. Call the coroner there’s been a homicide. From the left, it pulled through the right. And shot him straight between the eyes. Call it a catalyst there will be no compromise. Yeah, we’ve been mislead. But that is where it dies. We will defy, now witness this uprise. And kill it quick, before they realize. We’re not going back, not going back. To what you have created, we’ve waited far too long to see the end so. Rise. Weaponize. Every line will be used to severe our ties to their crimes. Won’t define any of us anymore. Call it what you will but this corruption you can’t hide. Those who are blind will open up their eyes to your lies. Go build your alibis. And we’ll tear it down every time. Murder by death, make a killing every time. Does that make it right? Does silence satisfy? Or does it eat at you inside? We are taking back, we’re taking back. What you have created, we’ve waited far too long to see the end so. Rise. Weaponize. Every line will be used to severe our ties to their crimes. Won’t define any of us anymore. Manipulate my words with hate. You don’t know what I know. And that’s just what it takes. Well I know what I am and I know you’re a fake. All those lies you create we’ll throw back in your fucking face. Rise. Weaponize. Every line will be used to severe our ties to their crimes. Won’t define any of us anymore.

What I got to say doesn’t matter anymore. It’s not the meaning that you have been after. Is there some hook that you’re looking for? I’m always here when you’re asking for more. What I got to say doesn’t matter anyway. Can’t you see were doing our best to stay Relevant in all of this, so pathetic, what can I say? Oh no, here we go. Call me out. Call me a cynic. I know you will hate me for this. What I got to say doesn’t matter anyway. When we look back we will be glad that it’s over. I won’t admit that I was part of it. I’ll lie through my teeth and say “I had conviction.” To hold fast to what I believed in. No I never changed my reason. I could be a good role model. Yeah, let me be your good role model. Oh no, here we go. Call me out. Call me a cynic. I know you will hate me for this. Oh no, here we go. Come on say what you want to say. I knew this would come my way. ‘Cause this is life, it is love. It is home, is happiness you know? At least that’s what I’m told.
5.
What are we made of? Is there more to us than our bodies? Is this, the best we can do? Tell me it’s not true. It’s all so damn cyclical. We’re only wasting our time. So open up your heart, close your eyes and take a dive. How can you know unless you try? Let all your words light up the sky. And don’t let it bring you down. Know you are not alone. This place can be your home. This is where you need to be, standing right here next to me. Now can you hear the sound? It’s underneath the ground. Like a siren screaming out, “come rescue me.” There is a lie we tell ourselves in hopes we can justify. You don’t have to live like this. We are not meant for it. You know, despite what they say, there is always another way. It’s buried underneath the lies that we are fed. How can you know unless you try? Let all your words light up the sky. And don’t let it bring you down. Know you are not alone. This place can be your home. This is where you need to be, standing right here next to me. Now can you hear the sound? It’s underneath the ground. Like a siren screaming out, “come rescue me.” And know that we are not alone. Don’t let it bring you down. Know you are not alone. This place can be your home. This is where you need to be, standing right here next to me. Now can you hear the sound? It’s underneath the ground. Like a siren screaming out, “come rescue me.” Just know that you’re not alone. Don’t say it.

Target 04:00
So much chaos, so little time. Cut the heart, suppress the cry. Call them out, they will just deny. Vindicated in their crimes. Cut and mark it. Aim for the target. Cue the collapse. We’re the ones to ask. Can there be better days? It’s up to us to stay and fight for a new way. Come with me and say we’re not going to wait anymore. To end this hatred we’ve had to endure. Murder, murder. Bleed your lies. A cutting cadence in every line. It’s calculated an enterprise, fashioned in a chalk outline. Cut and mark it. Aim for the target. Cue the collapse. We’re the ones to ask. Can there be better days? It’s up to us to stay and fight for a new way. Come with me and say we’re not going to wait anymore. To end this hatred we’ve had to endure. Cut and mark it. Aim for the target. Can there be better days? It’s up to us to stay and fight for a new way. Come with me and say we’re not going to wait anymore. To end this hatred we’ve had to endure.

Tell me how you’ve got a confession. There’s something you’ve wanted to mention. This game of ours, it’s so damn misleading. Sorry love, but I guess this bears repeating. Tell me what you want to know. Tell me just how far we’ll go. I’ll lie and say I won’t believe it. I will never let it show, moment’s like this take their toll. Yet we let ourselves give in, in the end. To what end? Oh. We don’t even know who the hell we are. So call it love and fake it. Let me tell you how I’ve got a confession .I’ve sold myself just to get you to listen. I lose my voice to gain recognition. This isn’t love, it’s a demolition. So tell me what you want me to be, I’ll never be deceived. I’ll never see what you had seen in me. Tear your heart out, leave you in doubt. Let’s get the truth, let’s get the truth out. Oh. We don’t even know who the hell we are. So call it love and fake it. We are the actors. Oh we know. Tell me what it takes to make me follow this disaster? Tell me; tell me what you want to be. What you, what you wanted me to be. Tell me; tell me I’m your enemy. Here’s the end, I knew we’d make it.
8.
Look to the sky and you will be satisfied with the passing of our time. It’s all a lie, we want one line.So try to deny, and never question why. So give me the perfect scene. Go ahead and lie to me. ‘Cause this chapter is the worst we’ve ever seen. Can you show me what it means? Tell me everything I need? Seems to me that this life is getting harder every year. Look to the words you have used before to justify. In these moments do we all really think that we are alive? So give me the perfect scene. Go ahead and lie to me. ‘Cause this chapter is the worst we’ve ever seen. Can you show me what it means? Tell me everything I need? Seems to me that this life is getting harder every year. With everything we’ve seen. What could it mean? Is there no hope? So give me the perfect scene. Go ahead and lie to me. ‘Cause this chapter is the worst we’ve ever seen. Can you show me what it means? Tell me everything I need? Seems to me that this life is getting harder every year. We never meant for this to mean more. Forget it.

Venom 03:31
There is nothing left to say. What I have done cannot be changed. You hate who I’ve become today. Could it be any other way? I see the pity on your face. Your venom I can almost taste. Don’t let that poison go to waste. You’re such a saint, sweetheart, So save your grace for someone worth saving. ‘Cause I won’t lie. I won’t say I’m a better man today. And I’m a thief. So don’t pray for me to change my ways. Some of us are just born as antiheros. Don’t waste your time on me. There is nothing left to say. Go on, let’s go our separate ways. This conviction you carry, with your defenses down you’re only hurting yourself. Yet you’re still here trying to save the world one villain at a time. Well I won’t lie. I won’t say I’m a better man today. And I’m a thief. So don’t pray for me to change my ways. Some of us are just born as antiheros. Don’t waste your time on me. I know what you are gonna say. I’m a bastard to turn away, deeper into destructive ways. Could it be any other way? I see the last shred of hope fade. You turn your back on me and say. There will be a time one day when you’ll regret the mistakes you made. Well I won’t lie. I can’t lie. I can’t say I’m a better man today. And I’m a fool to think that I won’t betray you. So run, run away. Don’t let me ruin you. Don’t let me ruin you.
10.
You shake, shake me awake. You got that look across your face. The whiskey on your breath still lingers in the air. You whisper in my ear, come with me if you dare. Sweetheart, you know I’d go anywhere. You go. Well I swear you’ll ruin me one day. I know I can’t quit this I’ve got an addiction to your sweetest poison. Well I cannot go on. I’m a victim to your dirty art of seduction. Another night spent in jail, black out and bloody From the bar fight that you started, honey. We can’t go on if we’re not going hard. It’s self destructive and it’s oh so shallow. But I love it, even if it ruins me one day. I know I can’t quit this I’ve got an addiction to your sweetest poison. Well I cannot go on. I’m a victim to your dirty art of seduction. I know I can’t quit this I’ve got an addiction to your sweetest poison. I know I can’t give in. You might as well be breathing fire. You’re the devil’s little daughter. Well I cannot go on. I’m a victim to your dirty art of seduction.

Skyline 04:16
Well I’m sorry love if I don’t got a lot to offer. But, if you take me by the hand, I’ll show you more than money could ever give. I know you’ll understand. ‘Cause you’re not like them, no you are not like them. There’s more to you than any other woman. It ain’t the possessions, it’s about passion. And it’s bleeding into me. So let’s go out tonight. Watch the fire on the skyline. I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t want you to myself. So hold fast until the light comes to take this all away. But, if you want, we can stay. I’m sorry love if I don’t got a lot to offer. But I can promise that I’ll stay. And you wouldn’t want this any other way. Forget what they say. Those boys are all lying, they don’t go diamond rings. They don’t got a damn thing but their lies. And I know you ain’t falling for anything. You can see it in their eyes. So let’s go out tonight. Watch the fire on the skyline. I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t want you to myself. So hold fast until the light comes to take this all away. But, if you want, we can stay. We can stay.

Hurricane 03:28
Lie, lie lie. Tell me every wicked line. Go on, take me deep inside. I’ll take my chances. In your eyes, I can’t deny. I will be buried alive. This is a disaster, baby. Blood is beating faster. Maybe I can find a way out of this game. But I know, oh I know, there’s no where I want to go. So I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Your body beats me bloody. I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Baby you will break me till I can’t breathe any longer. Lie, lie, lie by my side. You take your time to make things right. Show me love’s a bitter war. I’ll show you I can give you more. This is everything I never wanted. Now, we’re lying in a bed that’s haunted. Show me your confessions, tell me all the lessons that I need to learn. But I know, oh I know, there’s no where I want to go. So I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Your body beats me bloody. I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Baby you will break me till I can’t breathe any longer. You take my hand. I try to take a stand. We cannot breathe, but, we will not let this end. So let me in, and let’s begin our fall, our end. So I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Your body beats me bloody. I’ll drown in the wave of your heart’s revolution. This hurricane is coming. You prey on me and my dissolution. Baby you will break me till I can’t breathe any longer

How can you say you’ve seen enough, when you have never seen a thing? You’re taking comfort in keeping anaesthetized to everything. How can you say this is okay, when nothing has yet to change? You can’t keep turning away. It’s the same injustice every day. You want the truth, kid? Well here’s your fucking truth. When we see suffering, we find someone to blame. Well you’ve made the decision to turn away. Look to the media who help fan the flames. How the fuck do you expect anything to change? Whoah. We are never going home We can make it on our own. These aren’t just empty lines. No, this is our rally cry. We have this hell before our eyes. Now it’s our time to decide. When they look down on us, saying what can you do? We’ll stare into their eyes, and sing. Take to the streets with the fire in our hands. We bear the weight of your failed generation’s plans. Whoah. We are never going home We can make it on our own. We’re taking back our… Take to the streets with the fire in our hands. We bear the weight of your failed generation’s plans.
