A Little Proof Words: A. Gonzales * Music: Thompson/A. Gonzales/Vasquez [OPENING SAMPLES] I never need a reason to set apart Just how expensive your face was – reason enough Still the ring tones loud Still the creeps around The only one, in my one-man crowd Right now there is no difference Between a star and the violent storm Don’t want to be strong… I was here to stop the incomplete Start talks – end – sweeps you off your feet Maybe I can fake it now…somehow. [SAMPLES] Tracers stealing the dark And unwanted faces, Peeling your heart Uncomfortable acts of craze…surrounding And that’s why I had to hide the truth… Coming in & out of myself For the most part… Fingertips are touchin’ my nose Wind stops – starts… If only alone wasn’t alone… I’d be fine… That’s why I had to hide the truth… Can’t imagine the things you’d do…. If only you had a little proof… ©2009 fuckthemainstream. All rights reserved.

Whisper 01:02
Whisper Lyrics & Music: Will Thompson Whisper in your ear The words you cannot hear It’s the thing you fear That makes your eyes tear Out of life we get death Giving back to from whence we came Dead weight with mouths agape We pulled the plug and fucked ourselves Into a corner with our pants down The crowds are tuning in… The sin is in… Whisper in your ear The words you cannot hear It’s the thing that you fear That makes your eyes tear Out of life we get death… [SCREAMS] 2009 Fuck the Main$tream.

Heaven Lies 03:58
Heaven Lies Words: Thompson * Music: Ayala / De La Torre / C. Gonzales In the gazey midnight hour Where the days begin I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… For I am my father’s son And I’m the one who will bring to your attention That “yes” heaven lies… But it’s up to you “where” & “how” heaven lies to you…. Millions spent their whole lives searching But I already know – yes I already know That heaven lies – that heaven lies Heaven lies where you place it… In the gazey midnight hour Where the day begins I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… For I am my father’s son And I’m the one who will bring to your attention That “yes” heaven lies… But it’s up to you “where” & “how” heaven lies to you…. Millions spent their whole lives searching But I already know – yes I already know That heaven lies – that heaven lies Heaven lies where you place it… And it’s up to you x5 To separate the light from the dark In the midnight hour Where the days begin I too begin… [SOLO] In the gazey midnight hour Where the day begins I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… In the gazey midnight hour Where the day begins I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… For I am my father’s son And I’m the one who will bring to your attention That “yes” heaven lies… But it’s up to you “where” & “how” heaven lies to you…. In the gazey midnight hour Where the day begins I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… Heaven lies but where that’s up to you… In the gazey midnight hour Where the day begins I too begin… The life I was meant to live Free of fear and weakness Filled with faith and strength I prepare myself for things yet to come… ©2004 fuckthemainstream daze.

TRUCK BUST TO THE FACE, GRIP TAPE SCARS THE FLESH... Must keep pushing on towards my destination Exempt from the bullshit I wonder through the dark Cause I can see a light at the end...

WHAT HAPPENED TO EVOL? It's lacking from our lives... Yet We're too numb to notice...What happened to evol? x3 A "Carnival of Souls" takes us for a ride, it's become so routine... So many eyes have lost their gleam wandering in this wasteland...A grassy knowl & some whiskey, to look on the brighter side of life...What Happened to Evol?x3 you see we each have been given a key to own destiny, but as to where matching locks lay... They're hidden far-far away...Right in front of our own eyes...Searching in vain, chances may wain...What happened to EVOL? x3 There once was so much understanding our love is now..simply evol.. ©2006 fuckthemainstream daze.

No one waits for time Music/Words : Thompson Names engraved might drift away, While things that aren't are... Endangered lives with forgotten words, Try to find their way... Northern winds and cooler nights, Set the stakes real high... Freedom's lost with purpose gained, I prey I find my way... LOOK INSIDE TO FIND TIME IS ON MY SIDE I CANNOT RUN NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN... Turn the page and set the stakes for things yet to come Yesteryear has gone away leaving me here... LOOK INSIDE TO FIND TIME IS ON MY SIDE I CANNOT RUN NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN... TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE [NO ONE WAITS FOR TIME] TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE [NO ONE WAITS FOR TIME] TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE [NO ONE WAITS FOR TIME] TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE [NO ONE WAITS FOR TIME]

Demented Delight Lyrics: Thompson Music: Thompson She screams bloody moans / The neighbors pound / For us to keep it down / They think it’s the sounds of love / It’s more like the sound of distaste / What a waste of human flesh / Some of us are just meant to take the butt end of the gun / While others of us are just meant to pull the trigger [laughing] Finger Fuck Fright Night / Demented Delight / Cop out – Drop Out – Tune things out Bloody sheets / Bruised ass cheeks / Bloody sheets / Bruised ass cheeks Bloody sheets & bruised ass cheeks!! ©2008 Fuck the Mainstream.

Have you ever wondered why we die? Is it so we can realize we are full of lies? I know you fall with the final blow, Down low you go, If I were to stay here, you could not hear... Now up high, Down low you'll fry Then you cry... Meaningless pathetic tears of guilt you've spilt, You stand judged, but you do not budge, Like that chocolate fudge you like so much, Insanity is becoming me... Every time I claim sanity, You wish it all away, with nothing left to say... You throw it all away and await your payday... Someday in this dark bliss, You'll look at me & drink my piss! Oh how you wish for one kiss... Without a thought of your thrown of gold New and old... and now I fold....

To Hell Too 01:54
To Hell Too Words * Music : Thompson I'm going... She's going... He's going... We're all going to hell... I'm going... She's going... You're going... We're all going to hell... There's no need to pack anything, Believe anything... Or do anything... You can try & wake up But you won't because You already bought this ticket to ride... I'm going... She's going... He's going... We're all going to hell... I'm going... She's going... You're going... We're all going to hell... Stare me down, Build me up, & tear me apart, I'll never see any good in your heart, It's these mysteries unraveling That keep me From fathoming our darkest fates... I'm going... She's going... He's going... We're all going to hell... ©2011 Fuck the Main$tream. All rights reserved.

READY TO DIE Words: Thompson / Music: A. Gonzales, Barragan, Ayala, Vasquez Fall in line with the times Sacrifice your free mind The pain we feel is so real We run & hide... Sometimes we reflect All we despise... Turn the dial one past ten Let's begin again... Are you ready? Let's get ready? Ready to die! Are you ready? Let's get ready? So Ready to die! The words we say, The things we do, Seem to have no affect on anyone but you.. What good is everything, When you're alone? Greed called while you were in bed with lust. The loss, the debt, the shame, no game. Where's your star on the walk of fame? Are you ready? Let's get ready? So Ready to die! Are you ready? Let's get ready? So Ready to die! Step into a lucid dream The room I feel is a womb Incubating my salivating mind... Escape it looms in hollowed halls... Floor boards creek, As they take their final leap.. Hear not a peep, Escape is what they seek... It's better to go out now, Then to wait your turn?!? No more pride, Nothing to hide, Why ask God anything??? SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL Let's get ready to fry SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL We're so ready to die Are you ready? Let's get ready? So Ready to die! Are you ready? Let's get ready? Ready to die! All the King's horses & all the King's men Couldn't seem to put Humpty together again... ...Oh well... SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL Let's get ready to fry!!! SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL We're so ready to die!!! Hang our lives on the line We dangle ourselves by a thread A pin – A needle in our arm We're stuck floating in our inner dream... ©2014 Fuck the Main$tream. All rights reserved.
