It happened so many times, before our bonding melt You took all advantage, no care how I felt Now I am free of you and care less what you say Now on my own and you don't get your way After school and at the mall, all the time we spent Sipping Frapaccinos, everywhere we went You were my best friend the one who always had my back Who knew you'd pull out a knife and there start your attack. Doing all your bidding was awful don't you know but the truth of you came out, when I gave you a no Now I am free of you and care less what you say Now on my own and you don't get your way You were my best friend the one who always had my back Who knew you'd pull out a knife and there start your attack. (spoken) I trusted you so much, and gave into you each time. I can get past your control, get better, sure. But I'll never get back all those hours I wasted and I'll never forgive you for that. But now, at least I'm free of you.

lyrics: I got the car I always wanted, the one in my dream Now the debt and insurance cause me to want to scream I don’t know what I want I don’t know what to take I don’t know what I want Please save me from it I got a job that most would kill for but to be honest with you Things aren’t as great as you might think, no chance for love and friends are few I don’t know what I want I don’t know what to make I don’t know what I want Please save me from it I had the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen We planned to go down the isle together but then she cheated on me. I don’t know what I want I don’t know who to date I don’t know what I want Please save me from it

(no subject) 04:05
lyrics: You were once the half of me I was once your man to be You left home a pool of pain My eyes worked out like the rain You turned out just like Holly But I never went to Tiffany's I said bye, did not object You emailed with no subject Chorus: Dinners were great Before my hate I could see just you Before we knew We had a life Before your knife Drew from my heart For your depart I said bye, did not object You emailed with no subject You said you were not ready to have this life, the one with me I said bye, gave you wings to move on to other things Yet here you are, on my screen Email, no subject, make me scream Hear me now, let me go Your own seed sow On my own for all this time, not happy buy doing fine working hard but playing much No time to think of you and such Your cruelty is in my past It was fading oh-so-fast I wonder why you bother me Just let me be. Chorus

Crush 04:04
lyrics: I remember that day When we walked in the rain Asked me to carry your books Thus began my long pain Was only from afar The want you inspire I can keep a secret Never shared my desire Crush You are my crush Why do you crush Why do you crush . . . me You are one I can't look past, Belle struck in my heart a mast I bow to you first and last, scorn the role which I was cast The pit that bleeds so long in me, unquenched and deep The thing that makes it hard To wake, and on time, keep Like lead I drag behind I hardly harbor hope This feeling like a noose With my heart on the rope Crush You are my crush Why do you crush Why do you crush . . . me You are one I can't look past, Belle struck in my heart a mast I bow to you first and last, scorn the role which I was cast At school I see you here And there with friends smiling and I'd cry if I could But tears are beguiling You can't make me feel worse 'Cause I'm already there And the worst of it all Is knowing you don't care Crush You are my crush Why do you crush Why do you crush . . . me You are one I can't look past, Belle struck in my heart a mast I bow to you first and last, scorn the role which I was cast Here is the funny thing Can't imagine success To think of you with me Is a folly excess But in the light of day Or darkest hour night Nothing more do I want Whether it's wrong or right

Vice 03:15
lyrics: Never served the country I proclaim to love When in comes blood, I'm a hawk not a dove I’m a little brat, can’t call me out Like a sewer rat, you won’t see about My heart’s in the right place, but don’t work so well but I made it this far so what the hell Love to watch people moan and squirm Plead for your life you terrorist worm I'm the head of vice, but not so bright One of the little mice, too afraid to fight I'm the head of vice, but not so nice You stay in your place or I'll shoot you in the face Have you an idea, just who I am the scared bully, not wolf but a lamb When I was a kid I figured out a way To avoid the rules at times of play now that I am grown, it’s much the same Except that people die, when I play my game I’m a miserable man, you can see in my smile Once you are bound, just give me a while I'm the head of vice, but not so bright One of the little mice, too afraid to fight I'm the head of vice, but not so nice You stay in your place or I'll shoot you in the face If the tables turned, subject to my means You’d watch me cry as I spilled the beans Such is the way, for the scared, like us When we are able, we torture and fuss Looking inside, you’d likely find, A frightened girl, out of her mind Yes, a frightened little girl is what I am, When the planes came in, you saw how I ran I'm the head of vice, but not so bright One of the little mice, too afraid to fight I'm the head of vice, but not so nice You stay in your place or I'll shoot you in the face

He Hates 03:39
lyrics: He hates your piety expressed in hypocracy A trinity of the blind working as a single mind You love him But what is he He is love But what is love He hates your certainty It's a baffling insanity A thing you cannot comprehend Yet you deem to speak for him You love him But what is he He is love But what is love He hates your zelotry Just a guise for bigotry Of course I'm equally hated For all I've here, intimated You love him But what is he He is love But what is love

lyrics: トリプヘ 行きましょか じんせいは 難しです 電話で 聞きましょか 音楽は 同じです 問題と 行きますね じんせいは 愉しいです a translation from the Japanese: Shall we go on a trip Life is difficult Shall we listen to the telephone The music is the same Problems go with you, right? Life is fun
11.
lyrics: Promised me so many things but you hide the light, whatever it brings Open your mouth and people die There's fire in your breath, when you lie I never bought into your stupid **** you got a problem with that, I'll take the hit You're such a **** you smirking killer Deploy your boys and sip a Miller I don't wanna' fight, but I'll kill you I don't mind dyin' to see you cryin' I don't wanna' fight, but I'll kill you Couldn't cut it in reality So you live your life in a fantasy Good and bad you can't even tell Oh my god, it's just as well Give me a gun, I know what to do Watch you run, not even a clue The sheep were fooled, you deceived them Times were better, not now, but then People will die, because you lie You've nothing to give, and we wanna' live People will die, because you lie Had enough of you effing *****s Look at my face and I'll give you some more Stop your whining, come out to play 'Cause you won't make it not another day You're such a loser, laugh when you go Sharp as a spoon, you don't even know And you are, afraid of me It's so right, you should be Confession time has come to pass I'm not getting up, off my ass I'm a total wuss, I cannot lie Feel guilty when I kill a fly You're totally safe from people like me Unless we're speaking, politically So go ahead, kill and maim We will all, remember your name

Wet Seat 03:44
lyrics: She says she likes it fast But you can’t believe her She tells me to floor it Though I'm inclined to leave her Despite how I feel I give in to her will but the benefit for me I see Is little next to nill She begged me for a ride, but I didn't want to go Had a rough day at school I just it let go, you know I put the stick in overdrive And gave it all my best Not sure what she wanted I know it wasn’t rest She was in her highest whine pulling round the curve Thinking of her later I think she lost her nerve I’d done what I could do And it had been a thrill sometimes things can overflow leading to a spill Sticky black leather It should light my fire thinking what I have to clean Makes smiling me, a liar We never spoke again, what happened on that day I wish things were different That she hadn't got her way She begged me for a ride, but I didn't want to go Had a rough day at school I just it let go, you know I put the stick in overdrive And gave it all my best Not sure what she wanted I know it wasn’t rest

about

Prepare for liftoff. Rocktronica Rules kicks into gear from the very first note and doesn't let go. Listen closely and you might even laugh along the way. Enjoy your flight!

Four years in the making, this is the third Tribrix Album. The first one to feature mostly original tracks. The music is all upbeat, but hits different genres and moods along the way. Lyrics are at times angry, funny, and thought provoking and the music follows suit. Don't take our word for it, sample for yourself with no risk at all.

The other Tribrix albums can be found on Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, iTunes, and most other online retailers.
