FALL OF CARTHAGE LYRICS

1. Fast Forward

Count the many things I've fucked up
How many things I've come to miss
I, I felt so fuckin' worthless but I've done nothing I regret

I'm sick of this shit for more than a lifetime now

Fast forward
Fast forward
I'm sick of your blablabla
(wanna wake up)

Did you really care? Nothing that I've done has made you stay
Even though it felt sufficient. No offense but in this case "nothing" means everything
And that's sort of indifferent

Fast forward
Bring your shit up, I'm so impatient
Fast forward, all right
Fast forward, pause, play, sort of indifferent
Fast forward, ah

It's always been bugging me night and day

'Cause I'll bring it back, vitality and all that
This is all 'cause I can't tell right from wrong
I am so impatient. Pause, play, fast forward
God damn right!

Fast forward, right
Fast forward, right

I'm sick of this shit for more than a lifetime now
It's always been bugging me, night and day and all I could do is ignore you
You should stop the shit
I'm waiting for relief on what I am craving for

Pause, play, fast forward

2. Dust and Dirt

Given a year or two in the prison of your own mind
How do you find a way out and keep away from growing blind?
Dropping a tear or two on this aging skin of mine
How come our souls outmeasure the scales of space and time?

Among the memories the motherfuckin' phantasies arise and prevail

Whatever happened to your resolutions?
You'll find them buried in a mountain of dust and dirt, you will

Wallpapers of horror, rotten and torn
Right on the inside of my head
I need to get rid of the patterns
Peel them off, peel them off

After a beer or two filthy ornaments look nice
Damn, they keep reflecting inside of my head
Every night, every day, any time, anywhere
And so on
And so on
And with that there'll be damage when nothing is done
Let's tear it down now

Among the memories the motherfuckin phantasies arise and prevail

Among the memories the motherfuckin phantasies arise and prevail

Wallpapers of horror
Pasted inside my head
I need to get fuckin' rid of this sticky shit for good
It's disgusting

Wallpapers of horror
Rotten and torn
Right on the inside of my head
I need to get rid of the patterns
Peel them off, peel them off

3. Sick Intentions

This torment, elusive wrath. Resistance, smothering
That discontent and abusiveness. The same victims, no, not again
What is done is done, is not alright - not again
But I am not the one to blame this time - not again
No excuse for the abuse - not again. Not again

Another lesson learned, for all the tables have been turned in vengeance

This growing relentlessness. A vicious ambitiousness
We're hiding ourselves from this potential aggressiveness

What is done is done, is not alright - not again
But I am not the one to blame this time - not again
No excuse for the abuse - not again. Not again. No

I am not the one. I'm not the one to raise my fuckin' fist to call attention
I am not the one. I'm not the one to raise my fuckin fist
It's not my fault - not again
It's not my fault - won't do it again - not again
I am not the one

Another lesson learned, for all the tables have been turned in vengeance

Sick intentions. Sick intentions. Sick intentions

I am not the one. I won't raise my fist
I am not the one. I won't raise my fist

All the nights you fell asleep bleeding and scarred
Huh... it's not my fault or is it?
Sometimes you need a little lesson to get things straight, right?

It's gonna be okay, baby, just don't provoke me again
Do what I say and everything's fine

Stop staring into that mirror
It's not my fault
Not my fault
Not my fault
Or is it?

4. They're Alive

They're alive, this ain't over, right?

Have we sent the corpses to hell, downwind or anywhere far away?

There is this ever-growing fear I'm trying to keep from moving in
I cannot see, I cannot hide, don't wanna lose again

There's no relief in sight, no soothing

All of us have have ended up in a fight we thought we'd never win
This is the time we're bringing in the longed-for reckoning

The answer is inside, you knew it

Destined to go through the barricades, to hell and back again
The blood, the rage, the well-known pain, I will not lose again

No, no, no

There's no relief in sight, you knew it

They're there, this ain't over, right?
They're alive, this ain't over, right?

There's no relief in sight, no soothing

All of us have ended up in a fight we thought we'd never win
This is the time we're bringing in the longed-for reckoning

The answer is inside, you knew it

I cannot quit
I can't resign
I will not lose again
I will not lose

They're alive, this ain't over, right?
Fight on

5. Swept to the Edge

You'll break. Take all the empty words that you spoke, you never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
You'll break. Take all the promises you made, lost with our future. You burned it down
With every breath, with every step you take, more or less you'll break
You'll break. Take all the empty words that you spoke, you never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
You'll break. Take all the promises you made, lost with our future. You burned it down

Swing the battle axe, swing it again, feel the burden, the weight on your shoulders grow
Live for the gain, die being haunted by all the lives you sold

Can you, will you, would you, should you, could you really shake them off your mind?
Can you, will you, would you, should you, could you really axe those staying on their grind?

For all the promises and all the hands you shake you'll break

Swing the battle axe, swing it again, feel the burden, the weight on your shoulders grow
Live for the gain, die being haunted by all the lives you sold

Can you, will you, would you, should you, could you really shake them off your mind?
Can you, will you, would you, should you, could you really axe those staying on their grind?

Take all the empty words that you spoke, you never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
Take all the promises you made, fucked with our future. You burned it down

With all the lies you shape we'll be swept to the edge
No no no

Fuck this game 'cause this pay isn't worth the pain
This one thing we're taught: our time has come
With that odd system with that we're sought out, time has come

The golden crown you're flaunting everyday will be swept to the edge
With every breath, with every step you take, more and more you'll break
The crown you're sporting everyday will break

Fuck you!

6. Complete

Breathe in, breathe out, slowly

You should see the world through my eyes

Give it a chance now, make me complete
Hand me a gun or a life I believe in

Oh, I will wait if you ask me to
But I won't if you damn me
God, if you'd only see through my eyes

You should see through my eyes

Oh I will wait if you ask me to, but I won't if you damn me
God, you should see the world through my eyes

7. For the Soul to Save

With every step I'm moving forward it shows, this ain't no progress, this is a growing burden
As we're throwing every bond against the wall, like the immiscible retain their sole state
Another bone of contention at the hand of a lie
Or it's the scorn you can not deny?
I'll be silent now

Always incapable. And that is so illogical
And for the soul to save, it all melts in our eyes

For a second I was fine, I was fine
For a second I was fine
One thing's certain: I'll unwind
For a second I was fine
One thing's certain: I'll unwind

Another bone of contention at the hand of a lie
Or it's the scorn you can not deny?
I'll be silent now

Always incapable. And that is so illogical
And for the soul to save, it all melts in our eyes

For a second I was fine
For a second I was fine
One thing's certain: I'll unwind
For a second I was fine
One thing's certain: I'll unwind

8. Whoudini Peckawood

Houdini motherfucker, slow motherfucker

Bring that butt here before I pull a fuckin' fat move
Bitch sing like birds on my roof

Sipping the juice like Amy Reid on crack or a drunk Christy Mack
I swear that when I'm in the motherfuckin' mood I let ride
But never would I miss a bad-ass doggy style

Dare to piss on my lawn!
Hang it in motherfucker, hang it in

Houdini motherfucker, peckawood motherfucker
Fuckin Houdini peckawood, wood

9. Suffer the Pain

Tap the sin
Hold the sentiment
Burning the disarray
Cut the stem
Before teen turns to man
Conjure up a hurricane

You strangle those you breathe the life into
No matter the cost nor the size

Coexistence, the impossible dream yet I can't drop the thought

Soften the pain, bitch
Hey, what's up will you suffer the pain, bitch
Will you soften or suffer the pain, bitch
Will you soften or suffer the pain for me
Step the fuck out my face

Soften the pain, whore
Will you suffer or soften the pain, whore
Will you suffer or soften the pain, whore
Will you suffer or soften the pain, the pain

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Distance within
Old and withering
Burnt into disarray
Unfocusing
Time to choose your fate
The minor or the sovereign

Get out, get outta my...
Step back, step outta my...
The pain

Suffer the pain
Soften, will you suffer the pain for me
Soften, soften
Will you soften the pain, the pain
Soften the pain

10. Down like Honey

Life with a broken backbone
Hard as it gets
Playing the role of a sad wimp
I'm done with that

Deliver me from well-known evil
So I can live as good as I can

Make a guess
Take a look
What the fuck
Whadda you got
What do you have
In the end?

Oh can you see the sun pours down like, down like
Say can you see the sun pour down like honey

Make a guess
Take a look
What the fuck
Whadda you got
What do you have
In the end?

Life with a broken backbone
Hard as it gets

Playing the role of a sad wimp
I'm done with that

Deliver me from well-known evil
So I can live as good as I can

11. Tapeworms

Tapeworms, they've summoned all their friends
They've summoned all their family
They've come to take us all

Winding their way out of the dark until they reach the light and they come to have a ball
Tapeworms

12. Paint it White

Respect is gone
You can fool your stupid clients but you won't play games with my kin
Respect is gone

You - you're one of them
You're faking a smile when we meet so you don't have to be real
You - fuckin' bastard, quit counting on me when you bleed for my word is the last seal

You feel more love for the dollar than you feel for your friends
You feel more love for the dollar than you feel for your friends

I learned the hard way who's a friend and who is not
I learned the hard way how people treat their own flesh and blood

Foul
Paint it white - paint it, your blackened soul
Paint it white - come on, try to hide it
Paint it white - but you will never regret, your soul is too low
Paint it white

Paint it white - your rotting heart and soul
Paint it white - hiding your black tooth
Paint it white - it still shines through
Paint it white

Let's be real this time
I fuckin hate you
You better stay away
You... you ruined our friendship
I don't wanna see you again

And in this case you know respect isn't meant to owned

I learned the hard way who's a friend and who is not
I learned the hard way how people treat their own flesh and blood

Respect is gone
Respect is gone

Foul
Paint it white - paint it, your blackened soul
Paint it white - come on, try to hide it
Paint it white - but you will never regret, your soul is too low
Paint it white

Paint it white - your rotting heart and soul
Paint it white - hiding your black tooth
Paint it white - it still shines through
Paint it white

You won't play your games with my kin

13. Bury the Crisis

Pondering silence for hours
Question the value of life
No matter what they say you believe
And you follow
I know you don't know
And you don't seem to care
It might be useless already but it's time to bury the crisis

Halfway from madness
Six steps from grace
You owe me all these fuckin' days

I lose my nerve 12 times a day
I'm a ticking time bomb
Hellbent on harmony and love
But anyway

I am out
This world is fucked
And so am I hereafter

All you haters out there comprehend
We need more light and laughter

So long, so long, so long
Short on cash for so long
Short on time for so long
Keep your bad news the day is mine
Bury the crisis

I am out
This world is fucked
And so am I hereafter

All you haters out there comprehend
We need more light and laughter

Bury the crisis
So long, so long, so long
Short on cash for so long
Short on time for so long
Keep your bad news the day is mine
Bury the crisis

Bury the crisis, bury the crisis
Crisis, crisis, crisis
Bury

14. Puerile Scumbag

Puerile scumbag

"Yo
Friday night
What you up to?
Join the crowd
Skip the skeptical
Wait a minute bitch
Come on in
Everyone is in
Come on, move ya silk thong!"

"Ah
What's that thing? Prada?
With a body like that baby
You'll wake the gorilla."

"I would like to go down your ditches!"
"Oh! no!"
"What? No?
Damn
You're daddy's well-bred sweetie?
With a capricorn-tat round your belly b?
Let's put on your BFFs strap-on
And roll down the alleyway"

"Aha, yeah"
"Skibidibididibop"
"Bang!"

"And I'm having some good intentions
Not to mention hypertension
Let's leave the jimmy hat out of this
For the real feel
No big deal, huh?"

"Spread your wings bitch
Say 'Open sesame'"
"What's it all about, what's it?
What's it all about, what's it?"

Dingelidong
Doing it wrong
Got your pimp attitude from
Porn and then some

Since the age of thirteen there's a handgun
To make them do whatever you want
You learned from your daddy how to treat the girls
When he slapped ya mama and tore her curls
Monkey see monkey do, that's why
You'll stay at the end of the longest line

Think about it douchebag!

15. Turning Point

It's a turning point. It's a turning point
The love. The sacrifice, all in vain
The mind, the soul, the heart, the pain
The mind, the soul, the heart, the pain

How do you sleep at night?
Put your head to rest, pretending we're alright

But no, this is simply the worst thing that happened to me
And so (I) lay the cards on the table, shuffle and deal them
For a new life
A new life - a new life
My new life

The love, the sacrifice, in vain
The mind, the soul, the heart, the pain
The love, the sacrifice, in vain

Where do you sleep tonight?
Rolling in the deep
As if it was alright

Hey, do you really mean to go?
I'm losing almost everything
But no
This is probably the best thing that happened to me
And so I bury the old me and arise for a better
A new life. A new life. A new life. My new life
My new life

The mind, the soul, the heart, the pain
The love, the sacrifice, in vain
The love, the sacrifice, in vain

It's a turning point, change is long overdue
Take the chance to save yourself. It's up to you
I trust in you!

I trust in you
It's a turning point
Take the chance to save yourself
Change is long overdue
It's a turning point
I trust in you!

16. Black December

Never will he conquer the urge to take, to kill
Never will you get to submerge, you'll surrender
Theodore is serving some pain, he's coming, he's here
Bringing giant rusty knifes and his brain disorder

Bringing rusty knifes with him and all that he is leaving is
Dirty sheets and a blood soaked sky

Blood soaked sky
Your time has come
He's by your side now
And all that he wants
Is attention and being the one they look up to and
Return to. Return to the life that he's always wanted to live
In his dreams
And it happened he's damned to
Slay you 'cause his brain tells him to

'Cause his brain tells him so

Taking regardless
Killing regardless
'Cause his brain tells him

"Make your mother proud and kill!"

He takes the life you run from
Black December
You'll add to his collection
Black December

He's bringing darkness for some
Black December
Alleged innocent pale white scum
Black December
Say good bye

Never will he conquer the urge to take, to kill
Never will you get to submerge you will surrender

You best not tease him 'cause he's ruthless
Don't trust his blue eyes they've deceived so many
So many
