| You're the only one I ever told That I will rape this day Got a barking dog And a smile to tell And I will hate this day Sporting the name brands Clothes make the man And I will rape this day Guess a heart won't break That ain't pumpin' Kool-aid I got a fighting chance You know you promised me the last dance A micro naught in time This fat 24 is all mine Nothing but moans and blood And so my blood counts my loss You cannot eat just one A diaphragm revelation Just want to get some disease And get your stampin' heart the hell outta here I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day Rape this day This is the real mouth Sew it up and fly south And I will rape this day I'll blow with you on the ground Or leave it 'til the leaves turn brown And I will pinch and tear And pull and kick you right there I'll proud and jerk and stretch Into a pretty bruise, a cat scratch Put a rake on your neck But who would cry or complain? Compared to the pain of your sorry white vein... I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day | |

| This fat 24 is all mine - I don't care about work, about family, about all my commitments - this day is for me. The guy's pretty stressed up and on the verge of total madness. But it seems like he's mad at someone - "You know you promised me the last dance" - and he starts menacing and tormenting that person - The whole "And I will pinch and tear..." part. | |

| This song is quite catchy, which is odd considering the brutal lyrics. This was my first exposure to Tomahawk. I was expecting something really heavy, not pop-punk-metal. My preffered type of music is pop punk, so I like this song and will definetley be checking out more music by Tomahawk. | |

| Pretty cryptic song... i'm not sure about the meaning, to me it seems like a "man on the edge" kind of story, you know, everythings is wrong, you feel bad about your life all day... so you're going to "rape" it, you're going to snap and do something very bad. | |

| It's definitely "Pumping kool-aid", cause it's about a heart. It might be worth noting that Rape is based on the Latin to Seize. Carpe Diem - Seize The Day/Rape The Day. I think Marquez got it right. It's quite negative - digging at how Clothes do make the man, that the world/society is crap and that he needs to tear it down and destroy it. I really wish he would. | |

| so i played this album in a dvd player, which apparently ive never done before, because some songs play a lil' differently. in this song, the part where the lyrics start-the guitar part is missing-so you hear silence-then patton, then drums. ...also on mayday | |
