Institutionalized [Mike Muir/Louiche Mayorga] Sometimes I try to do things, and it just don't turn out the way I wanted to and I get real frustrated, it's like, I take my time and I try real hard, but no matter what I do and no matter what I try it never works out, it's like I concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out, it's like I need some time to figure these things out, but there's always someone there going: - Hey Mike, you know, we been noticing you've been having alot of problems lately, you know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you'd feel alot better. And I go: - No, it's ok, I now have some problems, I'll figure it out myself, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. And they go: - Why don't you talk about it, you'll feel alot better? And I go: - No, I don't want to, just leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself! And they keep on bugging me and it builds up inside, it builds up inside...

They go: - Well me and your mom, we been noticing lately you've been having alot of problems, and you haven't been acting like yourself, and we're afraid that you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid that you're gonna hurt yourself, so we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need... And I said: - Wait, what are we talking about?! We decided?! My best interest?! How can you know, how can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to say? I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I went to your institutional learning facilities. So how can you say that I'm crazy?

Your dead mommy lying in front of me-Ba doo be do I'll always remember her lying dead on the floor-Ba doo be va I hope she dies twenty times more I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead Twisted body, chopped-off feet Her body was minced meat Bust crawling on her arms She's dead can't do no harm Gnarled-up legs, broken and bent Her last breath has been spent I wonder how much you had to pay To get your mom killed in such a bloody way I saw her, I saw her...mommy I saw your mommy 8.

Feeding The Addiction [Mike Muir/Mike Clark] Taste like addiction Smells like addiction This is addiction Feeding the addiction Feeding the addiction Feeding the addiction You haven't eaten in days and your gums are bleeding Swearing to God the pipe's all you're needing It's robbing or stealing or turning a trick You do whatever it takes to suck on the Devil's dick The more you feed it, the harder it is to tame Taking in the Beast, playing it like a game Lying to yourself saying the same old shit "I don't need it, I just don't want to quit" Taste like addiction Smells like addiction This is addiction Feeding the addiction Feeding the addiction Feeding the addiction The hunger of addiction calls There's nothing romantic about going through withdrawals You're craving a sample well, here's just a taste Picking and scratching the scabs on your face Your life support system's a syringe Killing a piece of your soul every time you binge Praying to God and begging for forgiveness Knowing damn well that you can't keep going on like this This is addiction Feed the addiction This is addiction Taste like addiction Smells like addiction This is addiction I won't give up the plot but here's a few surprises Muscle spasms, you're puking as your temperature rises Led off to slaughter like a heard of cattle The demons inside have won the battle The Devil takes another soul to burn What does it take for another fool to learn The ritual's over as another one dies The ritual begins as another one tries It's a feeding time... It's your feeding time It's a feeding time... It's your feeding time It's a feeding time... It's your feeding time It's a feeding time... Feeding...the monster! Cursing at God and praying to die... Cursing at God and praying to die... Cursing at God and begging to die... Cursing at God and begging to die...

Nobody Hears [Mike Muir/Rocky George] I talk through my eyes, the words pourin' down Nobody hears You ask me what's wrong, but what can I say Nobody hears I try to tell you, I try to show you How else can I tell you, how else can I show you I'm screaming inside, why can't you hear Nobody hears You're looking right through me, like I'm not here Nobody hears When the last tear falls down Nothing gets washed away Another plea put to rest As nobody hears, nobody hears So what did I do to you That makes you run from me Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself Don't understand why nobody hears You figured it out, shaped it to your perfection Nobody hears Subtracted my feelings from the equation Nobody hears Is it all in my mind, all in my mind Then it would be easy to find, easy to find When the last tear falls down Nothing gets washed away Another plea put to rest As nobody hears, nobody hears So what did I do to you That makes you run from me Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself Don't understand why nobody hears So if it's all, if it's all in my mind Then wouldn't it, wouldn't it, wouldn't it be so easy to find When the last tear falls down Nothing gets washed away Another plea put to rest As nobody hears, nobody hears So what do I have to do To make you comfort me Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself Don't understand why nobody hears So I'm sitting here screaming inside myself Well I'm sitting here crying inside myself So I'm sitting here screaming to nobody else Don't understand why nobody hears And nobody hears, nobody hears, nobody hears Nobody hears... 15. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow [Mike Clark/Mike Muir] Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down I cry for help but no one's around Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall It seems like no one cares at all Always an emotion, but how can I explain; how can I explain? Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can't explain, the same with my pain Caught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head! Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change Problems never solved, just rearranged And when I think about all the times that I've had Some were good most were bad I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true Lies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that's all I see If I'm gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears? And if I'm gonna die, Lord please take away my fear Before I drown in sorrow, I just want to say; How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today Today today; when I can't even smile today Today today; when I can't even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today You think it's so funny... ...laugh at this! So when I look outside my room I see the world, but not the reason What is done to me is not fair You call it fair I call it treason But I don't know what to do Give me a sign I'll take whatever But if you want me here I am Ain't gonna die forever And I tried to hold ya But you just turned away And I tried to tell ya But not a word I say I cried out so loudly But you just covered your ears And gave me all the signs That you don't want my tears So if you want me here I am I sit and wait your decision But my body fights my mind I headed straight for a collision So am I getting near or am I still Looking in all the wrong places But the only thing that seems to change Are the looks on the faces... Doesn't anyone...seems like no one cares at all I search for personality and look for things I cannot see Does anyone even care at all? Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find Seems like no one cares at all Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true Does anyone even care at all? Lies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that's all I see Seems like no one cares at all How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today Today today; when I can't even smile today Today today; when I can't even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today... 16. Human Guinea Pig [Suicidal Tendencies] [From F.N.G. compilation, 1992] Lying on my back, wheeled under blinding light Shackled restraints resist my attempted fight The scalpels hovers over me, the incision is made Once again they're watching me, no new sensation, just frustration They said it was for science But I'm the human guinea pig The guinea pig The guinea pig The guinea pig The guinea pig The guinea pig My sleep has been altered, I open my eyes The nightmare continues, I see through their lies The papers keep turning, the tests never ends Once again they're watching me, no new sensation, just frustration They said it was for science But I feel like the human guinea pig Time may have passed on, but I won't soon forget The old sensation, pure frustration of a human guinea, guinea pig
