The Black Pacific The Black Pacific Lyrics
1.No Purpose

I don't feel so good
I don't think that anyone should
What were you thinking? What were you drinking?
Jump into the fire? Or just keep on trying?
Got you wrapped around your finger
What were you thinking?

It really doesn't mean a thing - purpose to it all
No reason to believe

I don't feel so good
I don't know how anyone could
What are you fighting? Where's your defiance?
Do you join the delusion? What's your solution?
Got you wrapped around your finger
What were you thinking?

It really doesn't mean a thing - purpose to it all
No reason to believe

It really doesn't mean a thing - purpose to it all
No reason to believe

It really doesn't mean a thing - purpose to it all
No reason to believe

It really doesn't mean a thing - purpose to it all
No reason to believe


2.Put Down Your Weapons

Your fake smile strikes right through my heart
Mine's so bruised up I'm seeing stars
Your guns are cleaned your arrows drawn
I take cover when you lead me on

Take one shot in your mirror
Or kill me before the bleeding starts

The words you said they shot me straight to the heart
Put down your weapons before they tear us apart
I should have known it, known it right from the state
Put down your weapons before they tear us apart

I see you sharpen up your knives
I'm bloodied but but still alive
With one eye closed you just can't see
Your arrows bounce right off of me

Take one shot in your mirror
Or kill me before the bleeding starts

The words you said they shot me straight to the heart
Put down your weapons before they tear us apart
I should have known it, known it right from the state
Put down your weapons before they tear us apart


3.Time Is Not The Reason

I'm going blind - but you know
I can change my situation
I won't try - and you know
Won't fall back in your world
Time is not the enemy - time is not the reason
Don't need no second chance
Now I got a reason to give up the enemy
Won't change my circumstance

And I won't follow
Now my time has come, I control my destiny

Now my time has come, I've got something to believe in
Now my time has come, had enough I'm getting even

I defy - control
I don't need your aggravation
It's my time - and you know
Can't hold me back again
Now I got an enemy I don't need a reason
Don't hear a word you say
Now I got a reason staring right in front of me
Don't tell me what I'll get

And I won't follow
Now my time has come, I control my destiny

Now my time has come, I've got something to believe in
Now my time has come, had enough I'm getting even

Now my time has come, I've got something to believe in
Now my time has come, had enough I'm getting even

Now my time has come, I've got something to believe in
Now my time has come, had enough I'm getting even


4.Almost Rising

Now this feels broken - like I've got nothing left to lose
I feel so sorry - that you've got no one left to use
So take this token - I leave it up to you to choose
Between what's right and the stupid shit you always do
I've waited for the end of us
And I won't give up 'til you're buried head first
And I will laugh hard when you cry
And I will dance the day you die
Because you're dust and I'm still alive

This is my parade 'cause I broke your curse
Now I'm diving into the sea head first
And I'm on my way 'cause I prayed for this day
For the first time in my life - I'm finally alive

Now that it's over - I guess I was too blind to see
It all meant nothing
Now you mean nothing more to me
The word unspoken - you couldn't say them to my face
As each day passes - more of our past will be erased
Now we leave this all behind
So let me give you one last goodbye
And say I never really cared, and each moment that we shared
I'll gladly watch at those memories die

This is my parade 'cause I broke your curse
Now I'm diving into the sea head first
And I'm on my way 'cause I prayed for this day
For the first time in my life - I'm finally alive

This is my parade 'cause I broke your curse
Now I'm diving into the sea head first
And I'm on my way 'cause I prayed for this day
For the first time in my life - I'm finally alive


5.Kill Your Idols

Kill your idols, it's so easy
Stop at nothing to get what you want
Search for answers 'til your lost completely
Look for something 'til you find out all hope is gone
Sing your sorrow, born to follow
When you're somewhere down on your knees
You take your chances, you beg and borrow
'Til you're nowhere and you do what you please

Living underground - the way you are
You cannot make a sound - the way you are
One day you'll come around - you won't get far
One day now you will find out you can get out
You're waiting for it now

What's the message, message you're sending?
Now you notice you've got nothing to say
You keep on looking for your happy ending
Hope for something 'til you find out whose side you're on
Sink or swallow, hope for tomorrow
You keep on wondering when you're going to live
And now the pressure, it just keeps on building
You keep on waiting, wondering when your life begins

Kill your idols, it's so easy
Stop at nothing to get what you want
Search for answers 'til your lost completely
Look for something 'til you find out all hope is gone
Sing your sorrow, born to follow
When you're somewhere down on your knees
You take your chances, you beg and borrow
'Til you're nowhere and you do what you please

Living underground - the way you are
You cannot make a sound - the way you are
One day you'll come around - you won't get far
One day now you will find out you can get out

Living underground - the way you are
You cannot make a sound - the way you are
One day you'll come around - you won't get far
One day now you will find out you can get out


6.Defamer

Fame fetal fame - it'll rot your brain
Ruin your good name
Take money for your shame
And we're all entertained - what can you do
Greed, give me greed - more than I will need
In contracts and schemes
We're flooding the machine
With cheap goods from the Philippines
What can you do?

Love for money - it leaves you in the end
Fat cats and beggars - they all will toil in vain
Give me nothing - but a tall glass and this refrain
We are all to blame - what can you do?

Lies tell me lies - cover up my eyes
You wear a cheap disguise
When profits are the style
And we'll choke on our denial - what can you do?

Love for money - it leaves you in the end
Fat cats and beggars - they all will toil in vain
Give me nothing - but a tall glass and this refrain
We are all to blame - what can you do?


7.Ruinator

Dis-Dis-Disinformation
Clock stops it's isolation

Another smile, a search for someone
Another smile, a corporate come on
It's your God given right, your God given right
What gives you the right?

Dis-Dis-Disinformation
Mis-Mis Miscommunication
This is ruination - so what do I get?
Dis-Dis-Disinformation
Mis-Mis-Miscommunication
This is ruination - so what do I get?

This is all distraction
Another product buy reaction
A quick shot to numb the senses
Big profits, big defenses

It's your God given right, your God given right
What gives you the right?

Dis-Dis-Disinformation
Mis-Mis Miscommunication
This is ruination - so what do I get?
Dis-Dis-Disinformation
Mis-Mis-Miscommunication
This is ruination - so what do I get?


8.Living With Ghosts

Pardon me if I'm not so discreet
All these freaks on the street we all got the disease
Gunshot - why not? When your back's on the wall
Give it everything you got
Don't mind me I just find history
To be full of deceit that's disguised as belief
That's ok it's the price that we pay
To enjoy the abundant consumption and fame
A god given dream - we pour fire on gasoline

Are we so comatose? Are we living with ghosts?
And do we really know? Give me a little bit
Are we better than this? We don't know when to quit
Man is that all there is? Give me a little bit

Come with me 'cause I'd like you to see
All the dust and debris of what once passed for dreams
Cheap shot - so what?
When you suck up abuse man, you never get enough
Can't you see that it's all fantasy
And the lies we believe are starting to breed
That's ok, it's just life day to day
As we drown out the sorrow of our own decay
A god given dream - we pour fire on gasoline

Are we so comatose? Are we living with ghosts?
And do we really know? Give me a little bit
Are we better than this? We don't know when to quit
Man is that all there is? Give me a little bit

Are we so comatose? Are we living with ghosts?
And do we really know? Give me a little bit
Are we better than this? We don't know when to quit
Man is that all there is? Give me a little bit


9.The System

With our destruction,
you were the lucky ones,
who set the corporate dime.
Cause you can take it,
don't mean your getting it,
follow the thin white line.
So what's the use if you got your freedom
if you don't have shit in your life?
It's like a potion, but not for everyone,
just gotta give it some time.

I'm just a product, product of machinery,
a product of electrical dream,
I thought that I was using the system,
but the system was using ME!
Yeah!
Yeah!

You can't escape it, just go along with it,
move on to work and you die.
Just one more radio, there's nothing meaningless
and there's an endless supply.
So when you loosen your neck tie noose
then fight for the scraps that you get.
Till they erase you, they're coming after you,
till you give up and give in.

I'm just a product, product of machinery,
a product of electrical dream,
I thought that I was using the system,
but the system was using ME!
Yeah!
Yeah!

I'm just a product, product of machinery,
a product of electrical dream,
I thought that I was using the system,
but the system was using .

I'm just a product, product of machinery,
a product of electrical dream,
I thought that I was using the system,
but the system was using ME!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!


10.When It's Over

Confessions on the tip of your tongue
Keep wrapping it up 'til the pain is gone
Nothing promised - nothing gained
Keep losing it all until you've won

When it's over - nothing matters
When there's nothing left to feel - that's when it happens
When it's over - nothing matters
When it's over

Depression's all you got to give
Keeping counting scars 'til you resist
You are so sick, so sick again
Keep fighting them all until you've won

When it's over - nothing matters
When there's nothing left to feel - that's when it happens
When it's over - nothing matters
When it's over
