Pushed and pulled to lose my ground I don't know where I am when I get back down This world is too big for me When there's so much to dream and little to believe Will we last another year When each day is an uphill battle I don't know, but I guess we'll see As I hold my breath and move against This doubt that flows through me And we'll give it all to make this count And own the time until it all runs out Because we deserve much more than this life A narrowed vision pulled over our eyes Let's conquer this system Where dreams are just fiction We'll make it our mission To live like we're in them Every day of our lives Tell me what you think is right And we'll press on until we reach the sight This time, you're not alone So just turn away and leave today This doubt that calls you home And we'll give it all to make this count And own the time until it all runs out Because we deserve much more than this life A narrowed vision pulled over our eyes Let's conquer this system Where dreams are just fiction We'll make it our mission To live like we're in them.

Since you came around You're always dragging me down The day I met you was the worst day of my life Now, every day's the same You're like a knife in my brain Just carving out the pieces that you feel aren't right And now, everything keeps adding up And I just can't take it 'Cause I gave everything I had to you Now, I'm taking it back; our time is through I can't relate to your bullshit point of view Torturing me is all you ever do You said that I was right And we should leave it all behind I hesitated, but I gave in to your lies But, now that time has passed And you're done kissing my ass We fall back into what we went through all over again And now, everything keeps adding up And I just can't take it 'Cause I gave everything I had to you Now, I'm taking it back; our time is through I can't relate to your bullshit point of view Torturing me is all you ever do I'll never be the things that you expect Just give it up, and face all your regrets I'll never be the things that you expect Just give it up, and face all your regrets And now, everything keeps adding up What's left of me has had enough And now, everything keeps adding up And I just can't take it

I just want to get away From this dead-end life Working hard to pay my way Makes me want to die But I push through my sorrows And I keep my head held high Because I'm saving up my sick days Until it's vacation time Then, I'm going to Vagina Island: that's where I'm flyin' Vagina Island: it's really warm So, I dream through this nine-to-five About that special place I just can't wait to free my soul One night is all it takes The moment that they land the plane I know just where I'll go It's the perfect spot where you can feel The sand between your face Vagina Island: that's where I'm flyin' Vagina Island: Hmm...it's really warm.... (Cult Chanting): Spider Queen! Spider Queen! Spider Queen! Spider Queen! (Zach): Why are you doing this? Let me go! Please! WHYYY??? (Spider Queen): You have summoned your Spider Queen, Lord and Ruler of Vagina Island! For this virgin-blood sacrifice that you have bestowed unto me, I shall bless your people for another thousand years! Now, throw him into the fires of Mount Poon! (Zach): AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

To Asgard 02:41
I'm wrapped up in a chain of my everyday routine It constricts me until I lose my breath And I forget what else is left But I'll make it out in time And I'll leave behind this life That I've been living just to make it through And I will take the things I need From this lie that they believe And I won't be held back by anything And when it's time to step past the line I'll turn this all around 'Cause we're on our way to becoming Something great; I feel it now Somewhere, beyond the mass of fear and disbelief Is a path that I will make myself Stories that are mine to tell So I'm overcoming this Just counting down until it hits The moment that I let this go And I'll have everything I need Just in time for me to leave And I won't be held back by anything And when it's time to step past the line I'll turn this all around 'Cause we're on our way to becoming Something great; I feel it now

I think about you when I go to sleep I touch myself as I count the sheep I'm too depressed to even clean the sheets So I fall asleep with sticky feet All the dirty sheets Stained with memories Gotta wash them clean of you All the crusty socks Memories in stock A blacklight would reveal The way I truly feel for you I wake from a dream of you Shat the bed There's a trail in the mattress I've been misled I should have loved you when I had the chance Now I sit with a heavy load In my pants All the dirty sheets Stained with memories Gotta wash them clean of you All the crusty briefs Bring me so much grief My dumpster would reveal The way I truly feel for you I wake from a dream of you Shat the bed

When I was young, I put my faith in the fiction Until I read the words and their contradictions But I still agree that man is dark and corrupted So I won't bow to your belief when he's touched it And you can judge me all you want From the comfort of your lies Give your soul to printed words That are constantly revised But I can't bring myself to do the same Burn or be a slave I guess I'm going down a road that ends in flames And I'll keep my life for myself and the people that I love 'Cause I know the chance of losing everything when my time's up No, I won't devote myself to the unknown I can't fake a love for things that never show I won't devote myself to the unknown Can't fake my love for things that never show And I don't need an organized belief 'Cause everyone's as lost as me I'll take my chances and make my own decisions Commit my life to all the dreams I envision And you will stand aside as your god forbids it Just hoping that you're right when all this has ended And you can judge me all you want From the comfort of your lies Give your soul to printed words That are constantly revised But I can't bring myself to do the same Burn or be a slave I guess I'm going down a road that ends in flames And I'll keep my life for myself and the people that I love 'Cause I know the chance of losing everything when my time's up No, I won't devote myself to the unknown I can't fake a love for things that never show
