Static-X - Start a War 2005

---

01_ THE ENEMY
Confine me
It's all that I see
Sickness keeps you
Following me
Keep it inside
All that is sharp
Hold it inside
All that is dark

Tear
I'll shut you up

Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy

I thank you for
Making me feel
Make me feel like I want to kill
You show me you're evil inside
Now want you just
Curl up and die

Tear
I'll shut you up

Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy

You make me
You make me hate
You make me
You make me hate you


02_ I'M THE ONE
Living in the moment
Forgotten and repeated
No I cannot be the one
No I cannot be beaten

I'm the one

I don't want you
I don't need you
With closed eyes I
See right through you
I was crawling
Always falling
You don't know what
I have lived through

No I am not a rich man
No I am not a bitch
I know you made one mistake
This is my life
You cannot take it

I'm the one

I don't want you
I don't need you
With closed eyes I
See right through you
I was crawling
Always falling
You don't know what
I have lived through

Automatic
Termination
Self-destructive
Revolution

Bring it down
To the ground
I'm unchained
Not a slave

I'm the one


03_ START A WAR
Sliding spinning
Turn around
Feel my heart pound
Motor screaming
Sliding down
Got to turn it around
Danger nowhere
By myself
I burn the thrill
Claw my way out
Right now
Got to try to get out

I'll start a war with
I'll start a war with
I'll start a war with
This fucking emotion

I'll start my war
Against you
You're one of them
You call yourself
A victim
But you're at it again
I've felt stranger
Paradise
You made me kill
Now I'm far out
Right now
Got to try to get out

I'll take it all
Give me some more
I'll take it all


04_ PIECES
I found a piece of
What I want to find
I got a taste of
What's on the outside
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
Breaking me inside

I got
Not yet
Smashing my
Fucking fist
(My frustration)

My body, my mind
My soul and my life
So far, so near
So hard, so clear
My body, my mind
My soul and my life
Too far to go
Too high, too low

Killing me inside
Take a drink forget
Chemical passion
Drowning my defect
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
All that is perfect

I got
Not yet
Smashing my
Fucking fist
(My frustration)

My body, my mind
My soul and my life
So far, so near
So hard, so clear
My body, my mind
My soul and my life
Too far to go
Too high, too low

Frustrated, frustrated...


05_ DIRTHOUSE
My dirthouse
Watch it happen from the box
Mind wanders
Dirty dirty word
My dirthouse
This is where it all comes down
Look into my eye
You feel my skin, it's dirt

Drive me wild
Remember when you
Blew my mind?
Cut through me
Living in the dirt
These dogs
Are curled up in a little ball
These dogs
Are freezing their asses off

Go, go, go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own

Open the box
See what's inside
You make the call
Sick of it all again

Tear me down
Pushing on my every nerve
Scares me
I hope I don't get burnt
Look closer
Look into my dirty mind
Feeling sick inside
My blood has turned to fucking dirt


06_ SKINNYMAN
My little girl
Where are you?
My fucked up world
Destroyed you
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now
I just go on without you
Twisted inside
Six miles high
I rehearse how to
Say goodbye to you

Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker

Wrap it up tight
Emotions are distorted
It's no surpirse
Nothing alive
All hope has been aborted
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now
I just go on without you
Twisted inside
Six miles high
I rehearse how to
Say goodbye to you

Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker
Inside I'm dead
All used up
God damn I miss her

As my skin
Turns yellow
I forget this hell
As the skies
Are bruised
And the rain comes down
As my face turns pale
Try to deal
With these thoughts
At the end of it all
I still miss you


07_ JUST IN CASE
Keep me around
Waiting behind glass
In case you need
I'll be your piece of ass
Pretend you want me
String me along
Break glass
If needed
You can make me crawl

'Cause you make me feel
Like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man
Sinking deep

I was strung out
For such a long, long time
Now I own myself
Yes I am mine
No longer will I be your just
No longer your shit
Do I need your taste

'Cause you make me feel
Like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man
Sinking deep ocean

I don't wanna to be your
Just in case boy
I don't wanna be your
Just in case
Oh no


08_ SET IT OFF
Wait every hour of every day
Played light, played hard
Had to go my way
I feel like death
Wearing a disguise
Can't catch my breath
From all this noise

I want
I'm fucking bored
Give me a new found sensation
Take it
Take all the pills
I'm trying anything to get me off
Come on

Kicked in the ass
Why do you tell me I can't?
Fake it
I can't go on
Give me anything to set it off

I bite your tongue
Watch with keen eyes
I found the gun
Nervous excitement
Go on and touch it
You just might like
I sip your poison one last time

My confidence
Is all that's left
Under this veil I count the minutes
I'm growing weaker
Search for a glimmer
Pulsating sounds
Come blaring out
You may be right
My mind is gone
I'll try anything to set this off

Set it off
Anything to set it off


09_ I WANT TO
FUCKING BREAK IT
This one's for the assholes
This one's for the freaks
This one's for the stupid fuckers
Trying
To keep me incomplete

They can't
Take me outside
They can't take me down
They can't take my thoughts 'cause
I will smash their faces
Into the ground

I want to fucking break it

Feel this anger building
Feel this blow your mind
Feel this break the silence
I can't keep my hate
Pent up inside

They can't
Take me outside
They can't take me down
They can't take my thoughts 'cause
I will smash their faces
Into the ground

I want to fucking break it
I want to crush you from the inside
I got no time to fake it
I got no time to waste
With your kind

Take this for the last time
Take this for release
This one's for my enemies
You know who you are
Fuck off, please

I want to fucking break it


10_ NIGHT TERRORS
In time I'll get this out
Get this out of
Out of my mind
Where am I?
I can't see
I fear for my life
Fear of this fright

They haunt me
And they taunt me
Try to relax
Let it happen
My hopes turn
To crystal matter
Watch them shimmer
As they shatter

Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play
On my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead?
I can't tell
It feels so real

Remember what you once said?
Every passing fragile moment
Is another chance to turn it around
I want to try to work it out

Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play
On my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead?
I can't tell
It feels so real

Get out of my mind
Get out of my head
I wish you were dead
I can't take it
Get out of my mind
Get out of my life
I'll curse you tonight
I just can't take it anymore


11_ OTSEGO AMIGO
Evil inside
Leave death behind
Into the night
Otsego life

Holy shit, start to run
Look out fuckers, here he comes
Now he's back from the dead
Here to start the shit again
Don't try and get into his way
'Cause you won't like
The price you'll pay
Party down, run away
You'll be dead either way

When he comes, give your drink
You'll get use to
His rotting stink
He'll show you a time as well
In the end you'll go to hell
You see the filth, you see a wretch
You want it all, but there's a catch
All your life
All your dreams
Here can hear
All your screams

Evil inside
Leave death behind
Into the night
Otsego life

Otsego amigo

Hurt the ones
You loved the most
He'll make you
Turn white as a ghost
Frightening beyond belief and
Now your life is filled with grief
With his bony hands of death
He'll choke you till your final breath
Now you see, now you know
Your evil friend of otsego

Otsego amigo


12_ MY DAMNATION
Time to take control
(I control this)
It's harder then you know
(Got to change this)
Feel the muscle twitch
(It's electric)
When you let go

Feeling primitive
(In my dark room)
Pounding in my head
(Creeping silence)
They will never know
(All the secrets)
Better left unsaid

Always the same and
I didn't know you were
Taking what's mine I
Can see it show through
Waiting to break me
'Cause everyday it's
My damnation

Take another step
(Look around me)
All that I have left
(Taken from me)
Things I could have been
(Are forgotten)
Haunting me again

Set in my own ways
(Never changing)
Make it through the day
(Rearranging)
Nothing more to lose
(I can tell there's)
Nothing more to say

Always the same and
I didn't know you were
Taking what's mine I
Can see it show through
Waiting to break me
'Cause everyday it's
My damnation

Always to blame you
You crucified me
Leave it behind I
Can't take this hating
I'll make it go away
And everyday it's
My damnation

Go ahead
You throw the dirt
You tried
To make it hurt me
Everything, everything
Everything breaking me

Always the same
Always to blame
Always the same
Over and over it's my damnation
