Terminal
What disease
You told me too late
What's this cough and wheeze
Fatal
You're shittin' me
A second opinion
Is what I need
Laughin' in a windstorm
Blowin' all the cornstalks down
Cryin' in a funeral home
Forward my mail, six feet underground

Elimination (x4)

Contagious
Say why not
Not just me
Waitin' to rot
Painful
Yeah I know
It couldn't be easy
When I had to go
I'm yankin' on the plug
And I can't seem to get it loose
Pullin' all the stops
Your ideals change
When you got nothing to lose.

Elimination (x4)

Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate

If I had just one more day
I'd turn it all around
I'd make a play of good, clean livin'
And dig me out of the ground
And if I had just one more day
I'd say it to your face
I'd pull the plug on everyone
Eliminate this race.
We want the cure
And we want it now
Reissue hope
We don't care how
You're makin' a mess
Diseasin' a nation
Runaway train to elimination

Hopeless
There's no doubt
Set on a slow burn
From the inside out
Careful
What for
Last one out
Closes the coffin door
Spendin' all you saved
And wishin' for a little more
If i'm lookin' at the ceiling
Then I must be layin' on the floor.

Elimination (x4)

Terminal
What disease
You told me too late
What's this cough and wheeze
Fatal
You're shittin' me
A second opinion
There's gotta be
Laughin' at the epidemic
Something is going around
Crying at the epidemic
Pullin' on nails, six feet underground.

Elimination (x4)

Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate

Elimination (x4)

Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate

Old enough to know better
Too young to care
Bent on self destruction
Goin' nowhere
If I had a reason
I could make it work for me
If I had an answer
It wouldn't be so hard to see
Feelin' all just the same
Feelin' all like no pain
Goin' on down the drain

Make my own decisions
Just go away
Take the consequences
Just not today
Got enough reasons
Still not workin' for me
Got all the answers
Still so hard to see
Somethin' is confusin' me
Somethin' is abusin' me
Somethin' is refusin' me
Life

Let me live
I wanna give
I've been to hell and back
So many times before
Take me there
I don't care where
And show me why
There's nothing to die for too

Old enough to know better
Too dead to change
Went in with a full deck
Goin' out deranged
I had all the reasons
Tried, it didn't work for me
I had all the answers
I was too blind to see
Mirror man in my eye
Mirror man gonna cry
Mirror man make you die

Let me live
I wanna give
I've been to hell and back
So many times before
Take me there
I don't care where
And show me why
There's nothing to die for too

You are killin' me
Mouth is movin' but I cannot hear you speak
Life's a tragedy
Go on livin' in a world not for the weak
Keep your dreams inside your heart
Never let the pressure tear you apart
Truth is whispered on a breath
Loud enough to cover the smell of death

Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the tension, tension, tension

Don't you understand
Too much tension, snap
Then you lose your grip
Too many demands
Start at birth, snap
From the womb you're ripped
Leave your dreams inside behind
Never had a reason that you'll never find
Tension builds another way
Gonna make you all go away

Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the tension, tension, tension

Too much tension, all around
Too much tension, bring you down
All the pressures in the narrow mind
All the reasons you'll never find
Did you kill your father
Sleep with your mother
Idolize your sister
Were you jealous of your brother
Did ya kick the dog
Were you beat a strap
Were you really be abused
Were you fakin' all that
Too tense

You are killin' me
Many ways so little time to think
Life's catastrophe
Glass empty and I really need a drink
Movin' all so very quick
Movin' so fast that its gets me sick
Let me outta here
Livin' ain't livin' with the tension and the fear

Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the tension, tension, tension
