Intro-Switch/Notebook -Verse one-(Performed by Switch) It’s a cold world we live in/ I’m not even really living Mostly I’m just sining/ taking a breath and sitting Pay attention and listen/ writers block I still love spitting And no shits are given/ like ricky up in prison Trailer park boys got my kitten/ fully committing I’m on these dirt roads just ripping/ bubbles your tripping And this time just keeps on ticking/ better get digging The fingers are cooking-chicken-/ no double dipping Chillen in the devil’s den/ I’m the devil then A deadly sin/ A hit to the chin-bottle of gin This is the devil’s pen/ I killed uncle ben A steady win/ With a Wesley grin-friendly sin Shit now you don’t need to place/ just show your face Kids I’ll give it to you straight/ your all a disgrace Complaining about that plate/ wish you knew the case All weak can’t carry weight/ like fuck all your fates -Hook-(Performed by Switch) I’m a real asshole/ tell it to you straight I’ll let the grass grow/ and walk in real late I’m a real asshole/ I’ll say it to your face I’m the real last soul/ sorry for the wait x2 -Verse two-(Performed by Notebook) It hasn't been a struggle; more of a challenge, but I persevere steering through a near-death experience, balanced as I turn the gears Alice in Wonderland while I swerve in fear of crashing, getting burnt in here slamming my fists against the glass until it bursts I hear the ambulance conversing; weary hands, and still I'm shirtless rear end battered from the first hit before reversing... then we flipped. I'm crawling, feeling flawless On my feet, sleep-walking or something. Sweet-talking with someone that seems off of the fucking grid, but keeps watch of me all of a sudden. Naw, I'm not bluffin', fibbin', or stuntin'. It's the life that I live; or is it the suffix? The ending or a beginning? Whatever it is, I'm under a state of confusion that's tugging, gripping my stomach. I guess I've got to move in concert with it and love it Act normal amongst the public, but behind this face of mine... is an incomprehensible luggage full of mystery I rummage -Hook-

{Notebook} why do I go to the war with life, and glorify the horrifying tortures? Buying into all so blindly. Trying to get a more uprising form of living that ought to bind me, to a little supportive psyche... 'cause I'm crippled and torn up nightly by the critters that crawl inside me they've pillaged and robbed my village and brought nothin' but a lot of trife, please... I physically lost the might to continue switching the wrongs to right, these are critical laws that I keep conflicting with a timely basis, hating and tripping is causing crime-scenes rid us of morbid mind-freaks. we're fiddling with a frightening, sinister force that isn't a sort of image that pops in lightly is it my karma? I mean...forgive me for all of my deeds committed when darkness strikingly lifted me off of my feet {Notebook} oh, I'm haunted life's gotten over me I look up and just plead can I be? can you leave me be? {Switch} I have these demons in me/ do you want to see? A black soul don’t know the key/ ingredient she.. Entered my soul so easily/ But can I just be? Set my mind right recently/ their still reaching me All this weight carrying me down/ trying to get the noun Can swim but I’m about to drown/ crying look at this frown I have these voices around/ drying just like this town Headphones listen to the sound/ lying on this cold ground I’m my worst enemy/ my thoughts can get to me Drink all that jealousy/ I use to endlessly Drink more the remedy/ I don’t remember me Losing it mentally/ Losing my memory So I’m a fucking hypocrite/ it’s always tug of war I’m starting to get sick of it/ my bodies getting sore I’m haunted time to break free/ be how I was before I’m starting to awake see/ seeing things what there for I just want to be at peace/ before I’m down six feet deep Watch see what the demon eats/ coming after the black sheep Life about to sign the lease/ I’m scared wake up from sleep I just want to be at peace/ [Hook] {Danny Void} Killing myself so intricate. I think I'm not so into it. This feeling is so infinite. I've never been so innocent. I'm gone. I've lost. I've never been a pawn. Inside this palm I trust. This feeling is so crazy, is it love, or lust. It's nothing to the demons inside of me breathing. And everything that I think that I need. Is weighing me down onto the 7th circle. It doesn't hurt though. I'm trying just to get away. I've never been so lead a stray. And every day I just count the days... That I've been waiting. I'm so impatient. I lost my patience. This fucking basement. I keep my rage in. I hope that I can move on. I don't wanna do something. That I don't mean. And fuck you all if you just don't agree. I hope you see that through my words that it was Maybelline. Just make-believe. Until I paint the screen. A better picture. I hate who's with ya. Never mind it. Find the time to re-a-wind it. We can realign it. Stuck inside this hell hole. All I do is fucking yell no. Mercy... I'm ghost.

-Verse one-(Performed by Switch) I think it was ninety-four/ lived across from Chris I use to remember more/ but that’s how it is Climb rocks kids stuff explore/ find these big sand pits And watch mat Sundin score/ and Tie Domi hit Didn’t know what stress was/ happy just because Fresh air the only buzz/ copy what he does The youngest in the group/ never knew the scoop Just learned the lace loop/ hadn’t even heard snoop At night time I’d star gaze/ or try to catch fireflies Campfire the only blaze/ fives were my only highs Now it’s all just a haze/ filled with all these goodbyes I sure miss those old days/ do you feel the same inside? -Verse two-(Performed by Notebook) I remember finding better hobbies when our life would get repetitive but, even then, it felt as heaven-sent never irrelevant. over-zealous whenever we met up walking the streets until dawn, then we'd sneak out; dodging cops on our feet we found solace in knowing no one could stop us causing mischeif, going so bonkers. we'd party, most of them'd gossipped about the shit we'd get into. talk of the town; all the focus was on us it didn't matter. we were in our zone, and the problems stayed far... as long as no one got caught up. teenagers making amazing moments was awesome 'til it all just... crumbled. everybody start thinking of college, holding a job, and growing up all I wanted to do was music, shoot hoops, and hang like the usual stay young and sip a brew or two in our cubicle doing everything we loved to do; the crew was truly cool and it was beautiful. so, tell me do ya'... -Verse three-(Performed by Switch) Remember playing hide and seek/ climbing tall trees Throw a fishing rod in the creek/ scraps on my knees All we wanted to do was speak/ cold but we’d freeze Just to show that we weren’t weak/ think back like please Mom would say “put on these”/ make sure your warm Logan And do you have your keys?/ don’t leave the door open I packed crackers and cheese/ just what I was hoping Remind me theres a breeze/ and to not start smoking Dad making a tree fort/ think it was ninety nine back when I was still short/ and hadn’t tasted wine No A’s on my report/ card whatever it’s fine When hockey was my sport/ I’d score from the blue line Treat or trick in the cold snow/ never got a cold though Everyday thirty below/ and Toonie tuesday shows most of them are gone don’t know/ where/ time fades real slow No more games no time to throw/ away/ all on the go

-Performed by Switch- A full astray full at half day/ meet me half way six shots of whiskey/ six six six tipsy A full astray so laugh away/ meet me half way Sick thoughts I’m sixty/ quick mix sips dizzy Demons-screaming/ all night I’m bleeding Shakes like earthquakes/ I won’t go to AA Breathing-dreaming/ alright I’m leaving Breaks and mistakes/ I’ll just lay here all day And these cigarette burns/ show how I forget How I’m always upset/ waking in cold sweat Nights with so much regret/ look at the effect And all of the neglect/ considered a threat Welfare-it’s not fair/ people rich for nothing I care-so they stare/ and it’s so disgusting Elsewhere-I’m so there/ cause I’m always huffing I swear- have no spare/ now I’m really buzzing More holes in the drywall/ watch it crumble and fall Bloody knuckles- seeing doubles- buddy scuffles- breathing trouble Muddy buckles- teasing couples- ugly struggle- sleeping cuddle Mix me up another highball/ look at my eyeballs Empty house/ And that’s all on me I know why they all left see/ so rest easy Empty house/ this way since twenty Wearing the same old white T/ try to fight me Whiskey might ignite me/ I’m so frightening My kids won’t come near me/ fist like lightening Almost like they fear me/ I’m so striking so might as well beer me/ kill like a viking Most nights they skip out I think/ want to runaway Because all I do is drink/ like why would they stay Go race off to the ice rink/ kids just want to play How much lower can I sink/ what more can I say I wasn’t ever there /so now there not here Not that I didn’t care/ I just loved the beer And don’t know how to share/ look in the mirror Learn fast life isn’t fair/ the paths not all clear I wasn’t ever there/ so now there not here Not that I didn’t care/ I just loved the beer Never had one to spare/ that was my real fear Learn fast life isn’t fair/ the paths not all clear I wasn’t ever there/ so now there not here I guess I didn’t care/ only for that beer Took now to be aware/ I’m sorry my dear It wasn’t ever fair/ for you now that’s clear x3

-Performed by Notebook- If I could feel, then maybe I could see just what I do and all the damage that I've done But, I can't deal. Yeah, it's starting to bite through the skin; I'm cold and now my hands are getting numb So, I stand still; and let it possess me 'cause there's nothing better. I swear I'm addicted and, I can't heal. If I could feel the inside of you... It's like a habit I've adapted, how I cause madness then I vanish Happily attracted to the travesty. I capitalize on my advantages... and ravage any chance that I get. Catch me having a fit. I try it on and see if it's crafted and knitted perfectly. It looks good to me. Time to wear this savage personality; I'm famished and on the hunt for a victim. All or nothing. I trick them into thinking their bests interests are kept; interrupted by my character. Unknowing of my wizardry I could be a slave to empathy, but that isn't me If I could feel, then maybe I could see just what I do and all the damage that I've done But, I can't deal. Yeah, it's starting to bite through the skin; I'm cold and now my hands are getting numb So, I stand still; and let it possess me 'cause there's nothing better. I swear I'm addicted and, I can't heal. If I could feel the inside of you... Evil as they come, but me? I never go Depleting and it shows in my feet; they're treading slow Need to get a dose. I need to get a dose Anyobdy close enough to see my teeth when they're close, will see me left exposed like secrets that you've known And you open your mouth accidentally... and Heaven knows I'm one of the fallen. I love it; it's awesome But, still, I wonder what will it cost me? Too stubborn to caution against myself against my sick temptations So, I relish in it and embrace it If I could feel, then maybe I could see just what I do and all the damage that I've done But, I can't deal. Yeah, it's starting to bite through the skin; I'm cold and now my hands are getting numb So, I stand still; and let it possess me 'cause there's nothing better. I swear I'm addicted and, I can't heal. If I could feel the inside of you... Every second is a goft, and who are you not accept? Every story needs a twist and I guess I can do it best... (x2) Troubled from the beginning. Succumbed to coming and giving the living something to run from, and board up their freaking doors for I don't know how to love; it's something that's missing Forgive me or not, 'cause either way, I'm coming at you full-force

Broken Love 03:16
-Verse One-(Performed by Switch) We look at each other in disgust/ and there’s no trust And were to stubborn to adjust/ I’m feeling crushed Like maybe this was all rushed/ no love all lust I’m just stuck in this spot I’m cuffed/ like it’s a must so we drink every night/ go to the bar and fight Fireball shots got me light/ molly has me all hyped Your dancing just in sight/ because you know I might loose it and just ignite/ you hate me out of spite I hate you to your right/ there’s no slack it’s all tight And no I’m not alright/ I think I need a light Spark to make it bright/ it’s to late to rewrite It’s all so black and white/ black as a starless night Hard to explain how I feel inside/ I want to cry I’m torn it’s just to hard to decide/ so let me die It’s getting really cold outside/ a starless sky We both ended up destroying our pride/ both kind of died -Hook- Light me up a cigarette and put it in my mouth You're the only one that wants me around And I can think of a thousand reasons why I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I -Verse Two-(Performed by Notebook) Tell me we're disturbed, and I'll tell you that you heard right That's the reason why I'm pushing pedals on the turnpike thinking heavily about the worst nights... it gives me chill, and makes me feel like I'm actually there again feeling all the wear-and-tear I did, I was careless then swearing it was the last time that you'd hurt lies and deception. blind with aggression. why am I trying to hide my offensiveness? striking you; hoping you die from the next hit on your face black eye, so infected each time that my head slipped didn't press any charges out of fear that your life would be ended fighting for purposes that have long passed but, I guess your innocence resurrects them; I fall back into the same monsterous, toxic nonsense I'm just caught in the fog of my own subconscious wishing I'd hit a wall and be gone as quick as I walked in that's when I stop day-dreaming and see it all dissolve, as I re-direct the car into on-coming traffic and take myself away to let your heart live -Hook-

Domination 03:46
-Intro- -Verse one-(Performed by Notebook) I'm building a hierarchy, because I can hardly see any gods beyond me. If the sky could taunt me... I would strike with armies that could fly to Mars and ruin any sign of life, discharging my lethargy tired of playing small with these giant balls breathing fire because the freak-show's my kind of party misfit with his finger pressed to the pulse, simultaneously holding the lethal-injection to stick intravenously don't play with these emotions. focus is frozen stiff I'm aimlessly taking the slaves that Jehovah tricked, and there's no dismissal brainless and mentally vacant genius, like a dang machine hard-wired to line up you soldiers for the greatest scheme, ever constructed; a destructive way to claim my seat rise up in the ranks, but it ain't no freemasonry this is way bigger than you thought to consider; just wait and see... knees scraping on the pavement when they pray to me -Hook-(Performed by Notebook) What's the foolery? You know better not to run your mouth at Royalty It isn't about the Respect, but the Loyalty Weren't you aware of what a Ruler is and who it be? (Who it be?) The difference between you and Me... (x2) -Verse Two-(Performed by Switch) It’s hard to explain/ my brain-I’m insane I run this campaign/ my reign-Mary jane I’ll show you some pain/ your vein- this constrain Look here’s some cocaine/ humane- a new lane I’m running this show/ addicted and you know That attitude like so/ a dick you can blow King on top your below/ twisted from the go Your another John doe/ vicious I’m all pro And I won’t show any mercy/ like satan but worse see look down on you your not worthy/ don’t need you to nurse me It’s just natural I’m thirsty/ GOD so I curse thee carve you up like a turkey/ and eat you in verse three You can’t fucking hurt me/ your all behind so hurry I stepped up to early/ killed shit on this journey I stand by that firmly/ so will notebook surely Don’t care I’m the jury/ on your knees like Surly -Hook- -Verse three-(Performed by Notebook) my bio-field's like Silent Hill to spies concealed, trying to kill me you'll die instilled with your eyes revealing how nice and chill you are... compared to what I distill I'm a thriller type of film, but the violence is like real-life, for real I can scry your Will and stop it before you find me still diVine-apPeal like I yanked a fruit from a tree. Who could it be? You knew it was me. The sleeping giant's thrilled to surprise you... feeling quite superior on the exterior. Watching all of you guys fulfill my desires The Messiah -Verse three-(Performed by Switch) Da fuck you think this is? cover up your ears kids You don’t want to hear this/ you should probably fear this Can’t even get near this/ tyson leave you earless I’m looking for clear bliss/ don’t know what a peer is Next level levitate/ all I do is medicate High I’m a heavyweight/ watch you all suffocate No time to hesitate/ all I do is generate A fucking renegade/ there it is checkmate -Hook-
