So sick of all you slime,
Not real enough for your fucking pride.
Too afraid to say what you think,
of the consequences that it might bring.
So what the fuck are you gonna do?
Cause you just push away those close to you.
Now you're left with an empty shell,
Your own personal living hell,
When everyone you know has turned away,
What will you do? What will you say? GO!
When everyone you know is fucking through with you,
When all your friends want nothing to do with you,
What will you do when we've all turned away?
You live your life behind a mask,
What's in your head?
Don't even fucking ask.
Jaded smile, life in denial,
Life ain't no game - it's a fucking trial.
Do you even know who you are anymore?
A saint or a fucking whore?
You've lost sense of what's inside,
Too used to the run and hide.
I'll let you in on a little secret,
Your words didn't ever mean shit.
Not once have you told the truth,
In this game of yours - I'm through.

Blame

Tell me that I'm not good enough,
For the life that you've been dreaming of,
Tell me that I've got it all wrong,
Just because we don't sing the same song.
I'm so fucking sick of all these matyrs,
You act so big - like you're so much smarter,
Than everyone else that you know,
When really it's you who's so low,
Get off your fucking high horse and come back down to the goddamn earth.
Don't know enough about yourself to lay judgement on anyone else.
Tell me that I'm not good enough for the life that you've been dream of.
You live your life at the expense of others,
Spreading your bullshit all fucking over.
Why can't we live differently but the same?
Without pointing fingers or placing the blame?
Now.
This is the future, and not the past,
that you run to so aimlessly and so fast.
This is the future, and not the past,
Keep that shit up.

Blood

I owe some people a debt or two,
but not more than I owe my crew,
They got my back - no matter what I do,
You motherfuckers - this one's for you.
Family has nothing to do with blood (it's just an illusion)
My faith lies in who I trust (not who I'm supposed to love)
I'll defend this to the end (to the fucking end)
I'm so proud to call you friends.
When times are rough, got my brothers to turn to, give me the strength I need to work through
The mistakes I make, the people I hate, and everything in life that I just can't take.
When times are good, we're just a family,
Ain't no place in the world that I'd rather be,
Ain't no people in this world that get through to me,
This is home, this is where I belong,
This is SIOC
YEAH!
Family has nothing to do with blood (it's just an illusion)
My faith lies in who I trust (not who I'm supposed to love)
I'll defend this to the end (to the fucking end)
I'm so proud to call you friends.
