LOAN takes more away than you get in return
Their favors haunt your tracks at every turn
LOAN too big to pay you’re outclassed and outmatched
You’re their lap dog till you get your cash on track
It ain’t enough to give them all you got
You’ve got to fill their goblets with your blood
PAY give an arm away give a leg away give it all away
Your noose keeps getting tighter every day
TRY try to climb the ladder try to get out of the muck
They reach out a hand and swear they’ll raise you up
It ain’t enough to give them all you got
You’ve got to fill their goblets with your blood
SCORE you paid your fines you think that all is square
That’s when they tell you you ain’t earned your share
PAY there’s no more debt you think you’ve paid it back
That’s when you find that they have turned their back
It ain’t enough to give them all you got
You’ve got to fill their goblets with your blood

I can do you no better
I can give you no time
Every time I break away it’s just to catch my breath
And get the load of my spine
Can’t be bothered to take it
Can’t be bothered to try
When everything I’m asked for is a dis or a crime
Hate
You try to drag me down but I won’t take the bait
Hate
Can only go so far till bend turns to break
Hey
We’ll waste away
We’ll waste away till we’re nothing but bones
Haven’t heard a kind work in this place
Under their robes is a nest of venomous snakes
Hate
You try to drag me down but I won’t take the bait
Snake
Your fangs pierce my skin but it won’t change my fate
Hey
I lack the willpower I lack the resolve
When I eat, work, and sleep and hide away from my calls
It’s getting harder and harder to have a good time
When the streets are filled with grime
Do we deserve to be enjoying our prime
When there’s others begging for dimes
We’re gonna pay with our souls

As bones start to ache
Bend a knee and pray
To get away from lies and the tricks and the hate
A bus and two trains
Packed away like sardines
Heart, mind, and soul all bound to a chain
Try, a vindictive escape
A vision takes shape of good friends and good drinks
What doesn’t grow dies
And feeds the undergrowth vines
Are you so quick to give dying a try?
Swords to ploughshares
Stripped of all pride
Grace isn’t worth shit when my mind’s on the line
Bones feel like twigs that can snap underfoot
A wish for a break doesn’t make me a crook
Taxes, tax my heart and my time
Tax away things that were never mine
Treading water as the levels rise
If I can keep my head above I think I’ll be fine
Down the cellar stairs
Hide away, hide away
No need for a cloak
Friends eyes won’t betray
Heavier than it looks
Tricky to wield
Guaranteed to last
A bond stronger than steel

Get so windy I might blow away
Doesn’t really matter how heavy I weigh
Head is spinning like a wooden top
Doomed to spin till I tilt and drop
Step on your friends like they’re stuck and bled
Blood on the boots wouldn’t go with the threads
A spell or charm can’t save your soul
You’ve got a black mark you can’t hide with your clothes
Quarantine yourself with your anger and spite
You’ve got blind rage like a rabid bite
Like a rabid bite
Like a rabid bite
Rabid bite
Rabid bite
Rabid bite
Hatred laser beam
Don’t you say there’s something wrong with me
Clouds block the light of the day block my sight
Crawl on the ground can’t put up a fight
Strip the life off a tree with your lying breath
Can’t believe a single word you’ve said
Little sticks and twigs burning high and fast, burning high and fast
Turns to smoke and it’s passed
Hatred laser beam
Don’t you say there’s something wrong with me
