With all we’ve lost
and everything that
we stand to lose
hopeless growing deficit
from endless self abuse
No one seems to care
as we slowly self destruct
maybe soon you’ll realize
we’re shit out of luck
Creepin’ closer
to the end of times
When will the end
of this failure arrive
No use in saving it
Just let it die
sinking much deeper
now over your head
Go greet the morning
by waking up dead
take a closer look to see
there’s nothing worth a damn
everything will fall apart
and burn you in the end
life is just a fleeting moment
that cannot be slowed
praying for the sun
to just explode
my head spins round in circles
the days all feel the same
desperately need a miracle
to stop from going insane
No more consequences
No more of this mistake
No more bullshit answers
Causing my spirit to break

We carry the flag of the broken-hearted Chasing a dream that is almost faded Living life like nothing even matters Breaking the moulds that you manufacturer Choosing to love instead of choosing anger Everything we know turns into ashes
Save us from this
World that kills our prayers Save us from this
World that doesn't care
I offer you a hand my friend
I lift you up we rise again
There’s nothing left it’s all the same Scream out your name
(x2)
We sit in the cold waiting to be chosen
Begging for scraps like were the one that owes you Eleven years of waiting for our chances
It’s never enough cause were a step behind you Holding our breath until the sirens call out Dreaming of the day when this is over
Save us from this
World that kills our prayers Save us from this
World that doesn't care
I offer you a hand my friend
I lift you up we rise again
There’s nothing left it’s all the same Scream out your
(x2)
Scream out your Scream out your Scream out your name (x2)
I offer you a hand my friend I lift you up we rise again
There’s nothing left it’s all the same Scream out your name
(x2)
Scream out your Scream out your Scream out your Scream out your name

If you don’t know who I am or what I am capable of,
Perhaps your best course of action should be to tread lightly
Of virtues and valor, we all have none
We built this empire on extortion
There is no sun in the sky; just eyes out in the dark
Our hands are steady and we don’t miss our mark
With the precision of a surgeon
We can dissect you from the inside out
Let’s see what you’re made of
Run, cause that’s all you can do now
I am not in danger, I am the danger
I am the one who knocks
I am not in danger, I am the danger
I am the one who comes knocking
Of virtues and valor, we all have none
We built this empire on extortion
There is no sun in the sky; just eyes out in the dark
Our hands are steady and we don’t miss our mark
What goes up must come down
What blows up must rain down
Of virtues and valor, we all have none
We built this empire on extortion
There is no sun in the sky; just eyes out in the dark
Our hands are steady and we don’t miss our mark

Affiance - Blackout
03:20
|
|||
|
How can you hear what you need to hear when you have never been told you're wrong
You see a world in black and white. Blind to all color
You are lost inside your mind, the walls you build to confine. Must reconcile
Blackout. Awaken, in the twenty first century
I’m caught between who they expect me to be
The heart of an animal or the mind of a machine
How can you see what you want to see if your eyes haven't been opened at all
I don’t have the answers. I just know it’s not as simple as right or wrong.
No room for maybe. Afraid of the unknown.
So we rank and file to rationalize our existence.

Straight Edge - The Discipline. The key to self liberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of intoxication. I separate from the poison - a mindlessness I've always abhorred. Usage will only increase the pain, a truth I constantly see ignored. The pollutants that kill the body breed apathy within the mind. The substances that once brought release in the end will always confine. From drug-clouded lungs and veins motivation dissipates. Imprisoned within addiction, abuse increases until death overtakes. Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair. Victims used and abandoned by liars who professed to care. Self-exiled from their insanity. Striving to attain higher levels of purity. The beauty in life is mine to know. Amidst the ruin I survive. I've got to stay free. Damage everywhere - infections at every turn. Through my refusal to partake I saved myself. Abstinence was the beginning. What's important is what's done with the freedom step by step I overcome. Alone I climb the staircase to edification.

DRINK YOU. WHITE-HOT LIQUOR.
DRINK YOU. EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES ME SICKER.
GIMME SOME MORE, ALL OF MY NERVES ARE ELECTRIC
I WANNA BE NUMB (LIKE YOU), I WANNA FEEL NONE (LIKE YOU)
WHILE PRYING SPIDERS FROM MY GUMS
I WONT DO YOU ANY GOOD
BUT YOU'D BE SO GOOD FOR ME
I WONT DO YOU ANY GOOD
EMASCULATE ME.
GIVE ME SOME MORE, CAUSE IM ALREADY HALF-WAY INSENSATE.
I WANT TO FIX YOUR MOUTH
I WANT TO MAKE YOU PROUD
JUST FUCKING FEEL SOMETHING
WHY DONT YOU FEEL SOMETHING?
PLEASE FEEL SOMETHING.
WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST DO?
A YOUNG MAN LIKE ME SHANT BE SINGING THE BLUES
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY YOU'D DO?
MY SWEET, SWEET THING - IT HURTS TO LOVE YOU.
GIVE ME SOME MORE, FAMISH THE WORM
SELF-DEPRICATION'S A LONG DESERT ROAD.
YOU CAN WALK IT ALONE.
MY SWEET, SWEET THING…
MY SICK, SICK THING..
LOVE, BE A VULTURE TONIGHT.

This cavity is born, let me keep you warm. This cavity it grows, let me help it slow. I’m the snake, I’m the rat in your veins. Take my hand, follow me and I’ll walk you home past these sorrowed pines. It’s light that I feed you, it’s light that you need to make you grow. Grow apart from yourself, apart from your health. I will be the one to help sharpen your teeth, you can bite at the walls ‘til you bring it down. The streets they swell with colour tonight. That sharp machine will blaze until I can call you mine and we will be one, you will be mine. For every ounce of pain, for every sad refrain, I am here residing in this silver. You're starving and you're cold, you're shaking for my touch. I am here, you’re all alone. The streets they swell with colour tonight. That sharp machine will blaze until I can call you mine and we will be one, you will be mine. I know you feel me in your chest, scratching at your lungs like asbestos. It’s too late, I’ll never let you go, lodged in the back of your throat. I will never let you go. This casualty is life for me, let me keep you warm. This tragedy is good for me, I will never leave.

Overcast - Grifter
03:05
|

|
The gates open I drown
The magnet, the withdrawal
Offering these to you
Shamelessly ripping my guts out
How could I expect you to change your face?
A time lived by seconds
I unfold at your beckon
I will be passed by I am the minimal
The useless being
How could I expect you to change your face?
My memories out dated and weak
How could I expect it to? Well I do
How could I want it to?
I despise your charming attributes
Conjure up the summoned
Then left to contend…

Gamma Pulse - Metanoia
04:44

|
I'm calling you out
With your back against the wall
Now listen close ‘cause I won't repeat myself
You lack every single thing that makes a man
You'll never understand
Dead inside, but still I try
To justify a way to survive
Lost in this inevitable fate
It's so hard to keep my faith
Have you ever felt so fucking hopeless
Can't you see, can't you see
You're the disease that's killing me
Will you stay
And give me one more chance to think
I'm better off this way
Cause I can't stand to change my ways and just let go
There's gotta be more to this empty shell
(I've been hiding)
Cause I can't live inside this hell
You can't run, you can't hide
It's time to face what you have left behind
Tell me why should I pretend
I'm not losing my mind
Every time I close my eyes
I set the sky on fire
I split my mind in two
We could have had the world
If only you had wanted to
Can't you see you're the disease that's killing me
And I'm sinking in the sorrow
That's drowning us at sea
Forgive me if I breathe
And leave you no more oxygen
Locked inside a shell again at the bottom of the sea
See I'm nothing like you
I'm dead inside but I try

the executed have all moved on still I struggle in a shallow grave screaming at the impotent that put me here I am not whole from watching the soil spread solemn faces the earth embraces each grain represents every bit of doubt that spills out of me I’m choking on the words that can’t be released only rough skin remains where my mouth used to be it was condemned all the goddamn years ago when I still had pride call it off, call it off I have nothing to say If this body’s just a coffin I will choose when it lays We’re all just dying to plot our graves serving ourselves a bit of grace on our own terms ignoring what we’ve learned waste not what you’ve earned I pray more than the faithful repent more than atoned I’ve been deemed a skeptic by every atheist I know yet I still can’t find meaning in this world I mourn him as he won’t find worth eight eyes radiate desires of four hearts ever calling out two shoulders hold up the one burden they couldn’t help burning up burning up there’s a fire in me from a devil on my shoulder that seeks empathy protect the sinner fuck the saint not finding peace just disdain how can you say we’re meant to be this way when you’re living in an hourglass and you can’t seem to find the time to change I refuse to go quietly if I’m going to hell at least that means you’re in heaven holding her head and making excuses for a father who couldn’t when I die I hope you see them picketing my funeral screaming at the top of their lungs at least then you’ll know that they make the world a bitter place I left the world a better place to call home

So I'm headed out of town for the first time in a long time, and you cry yourself to sleep at the thought of losing me. And then a phone call comes from home telling me that you can't practice what your preach. We'll never be the same again. And the first thing from your lips..
So can we still be friends? Thats what she said. Can't we still be friends? Don"t hold your breath girl, but I think I've got enough of them. It's oh so unfortunate for you that I can't waste any more time on you.
Oh the silence is beautiful! What goes around must come around, and it's safe to say that this is slapping you in the face.. now that the thrill is over.
Now listen up darling and listen closely, 'cause I want you to take this the wrong way. Let's just say everything you've ever wanted is kissing you goodbye.

We are American fucking terrorists
It's nothing political
It's nothing personal
It's a way of life
It keeps us comfortable
To do what we want
And we'll say what we'll say (what we'll say)
We'll do what we'll do
Just to live free
Anything to keep the blood
Pumping in our favor
Living by no doctrine
The American dream?
More like American scheme
Fear is what's keeping you alive
The driving force that keeps you inside
Hiding from your shadow
Too afraid to step outside into the sunlight
And scare the shit out of yourself
For the small chance you might learn something
Or the big chance you'll feel something inside
So come on and open up (open up)
I know it's hard not to give a fuck
It's hard to let go, it's hard to do what you want
You can't spend the rest of your life living in hesitation
So do what you want
There are no powers that be
There is no American dream
There's just a dream (a dream)
There's just a dream (a dream)
We are American terrorists
We live free, we'll die free
Oh shit!
Fear is not our motivation
It's not in our vocabulary
So learn something
Keep yourself on the edge of your seat
We've never been terrified
By an all-seeing eye
Look upon us and wonder
And wonder what you could be
Right now if fear and sabotage
Weren't part of your life
We'll do what we want
And we'll say what we'll say
(We'll say) We are American fucking terrorists
We are the American fucking dream

Raise your glass to everything you've accomplished on your own, I promise it won't mean a thing tomorrow. We're all just headed straight for the ocean floor, on a ship without any captain aboard. This time you can't save yourself. We're all just wasting time. Standing still, waiting for something to happen, but I think we'd all be fine if everyone would just shut up and listen. Be slow to speak, shut up and listen! We have no idea what we're capable of. If only we would live in fear of knowing our own flesh and blood does not belong to us, we'd see everything a little different than before. Lose Your Pride! We're all just wasting time. Standing still, waiting for something to happen, but I think we'd all be fine if everyone would just shut up and listen. Be slow to speak, shut up and listen! What you want is never what you need. Be careful what you wish for. Lose your pride, if it's what you come back to. Lose your pride, realize this was never about you! This time you can't save yourself! We're all just wasting time. Standing still, waiting for something to happen, but I think we'd all be fine if everyone would just shut up and listen. Be slow to speak, shut up and listen!

First Blood - Enemy
02:32
|

I'M NOT your enemy
WE'RE NOT your enemy
THEY'RE NOT who they appear to be
Those with the power to CONTROL OUR BELIEFS
To break this CURSE
Expose for all to see
To know that I am on your side
WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE
Powers that be have their methods to DOMINATE
And be secure in their power
TO GAIN CONTROL
Over all that we see... ALL THAT WE SEE
Over all that we hear... ALL THAT WE HEAR
Manipulate to divide and CONQUER
Search for the truth and you'll find the real ENEMY
I'm not your enemy
We're not your enemy
They're not who they appear to be
Because some things are not always as they seem
I'm not your enemy
We're not your enemy
I'M NOT your enemy
WE'RE NOT your enemy
THEY'RE NOT who they appear to be
Because some things are not always as they seem
Control the public mind
To be secure in their power
TO GAIN CONTROL
Over all that we see... ALL THAT WE SEE
Over all that we hear... ALL THAT WE HEAR
Manipulate to divide and then CONQUER
Search for the truth and you'll find the real ENEMY

This is my most heartfelt spit in the face to every one of you who represent this place. Every word is a knife between the ribs of every single member of the fucking human race. Live day by day because life is cold. It's apathetic and ill-disposed. No one makes the promise that you'll survive. When death sees fit to close your eyes it keeps them closed. This is a place only for those who endure and recognize the simplest law of nature: you die if you don't grow. The law of these times: abandon all hope.

It's a vicious cycle, bound to lose control, every step in the wrong direction, takes me further away from home. there's no sense in pretending, that this is where I belong, I will let the search continue, the cycle carries on. when you think it's over (think it's over), forever marked by the blood of your mistakes, even when it's over (when it's over), you'll die by the weight of your mistakes. it's another night, you know i'm losing sleep, there's no telling where i'm headed, there's no telling what's right for me. all I really know is, I need this answer now, so i can finally lay to rest, all this doubt inside my head. when you think it's over (think it's over), forever marked by the blood of your mistakes, even when it's over (when it's over), you'll die by the weight of your mistakes. you thought this ended with you, you thought I was too weak to break these ties, you can only push me so far, another lesson learned but at what cost. all the hate, all the struggle, fills my soul to the fucking brim, you're so disappointing, I've lost all hope to let you live. just remember there will be no next time, too many chances gave all I could give. just remember there will be no next time, too many chances gave all I could give. so many chances. too many chances. you thought this ended with you.

Nightshade - Betrayal
03:00

You are blind in your own mind
The images fall right through you
Sit in front of your face you have no place
Like someone else is in the mirror.
The ground has lifted,
The sky has fallen,
Suffer for the time that's wasted.
Let the past slip through you
Could you live on with your lives
Why are you such a waste fucking waste
You are running out of time
Twisting sensation a halted transit within
A head of dilution we burn for his sin
This is not what we know, this is what we will learn,
This is not what we are, it's what we become
Fighting for nothing
When it’s all in front of you.
Don't be the weak, don't be weak
You will never see right.
Think for your self
Only you can reveal the truth.
Question Everything

I sit scared looking back at life.
From all the damage done, I shouldn't be alive
You never truly know fear
Until your vision fades and suddenly reappears
This weight can't hold me down
I will keep with feet on the ground
A wise man said that you only live one time
so I’m living each day putting my life on the line.
I have so much to be grateful for
When every person I meet opens a brand new door
Oh this life is a precious gift, don’t take it away, don't take it away
All of this means nothing without you
through all of this, you're my anchor to hold to
I’m alive because you believe in me
I feel like a blind man who can finally see
When life flashed before my eyes
It was you, trying to say goodbye
But I’m here to stay, I couldn’t let this go away.
And I'm sick not knowing why
I walked away when death was so close by
This life we've made means everything to me
My life is here, there’s nowhere I’d rather be
I’m here to stay, I’m right here.
A wise man said that you only live one time
so I’m living each day putting my life on the line.
I have so much to be grateful for
When every person I meet opens a brand new door
Oh this life is a precious gift, don’t take it away, don't take it away
A wise man said that you only live one time
so I’m living each day putting my life on the line.
I have so much to be grateful for
When every person I meet opens a brand new door
Oh this life is a precious gift, don’t take it away, don't take it away

Tip of the cap
Strike the match
Burn this desert leaf down to ash
And let the smoke mix with the sand
I am the bird made of death
And my bones are dry like my breath
I bleed tobacco
I've no blood left
My eyes have long been raw
But I can still put six shots through ya
Single child
You've not a clue
You speak a forked tongue
I tell the truth
Death in the valley
No one to lose
You'll be the lone man
Left on the noose
You tell a good joke
You make me laugh
Now, stop pretending you'll bring me death
I am the Fleshbird
My beak of red
Will gouge the soul out of any man
I'll spread my wings
And hide you from the sun
You know nothing of who I am
High-noon
Ten paces from center
Ghost light gunfight
Damn the sinner
No flesh left, you goddamn outlaw
No more cowboys will you kill off

They have to hear me now
Cause I’ve got something to say
I can’t get lost in the crowd
No it won’t end this way
“Speak up, Speak up”
Is what they said
“You got this man,
Don’t lose your head.”
They put so much faith
Into where I stand
But they don’t even know
Who I am
Who can I expect to blame
When they all just sound the same?
I believed in what they taught.
So why do I still feel so lost?
Is this who I’ve become?
Am I just another one,
Who holds onto
Their pride
While I’m
Screaming inside? 2x
Oh
Oh Yeah,
Yeah
I’ve watched all these years slip by
And now I’m left to wonder why
I feel like I just don’t belong
But I’ll no longer bite my tongue
I’m pissed off
I’m angry
But I’ve made the choice
To put up, not shut up
So why can’t I find my voice?
Yeah
Is this who I’ve become?
Am I just another one,
Who holds onto
Their pride
While I’m
Screaming inside? 2x
Is this who I’ve become?
Am I just another one,
Who holds onto
Their pride
While I’m
Screaming inside? 2x

We advertise the fiction, it keeps us honest, makes us want it.
We salivate for nothing, and carry onward.
Open your eyes to see that this is over.
Oh, God, I wish that I could keep it honest, and take it all back.
In the middle of a cold street begging for change,
I help myself with every little thing that they couldn’t take.
We wait in silence, acting selfish like there’s no one to blame
Instead of running we embrace it and forget just the same.
Carry on like we were soldiers. The war has just begun.
We hold our hands to the fire to feel what we had lost.
What are we waiting for?
I’m running away from mistakes that I have made.
Is this what we’ve waited for? The funeral for everyone.
I say I love you still, but the only thing I know,
Is if we make it out alive…
In the center of the old man, there’s a disease,
It gets inside and over time it eats away at the seams.
Like a sickness we’re infected with the price we won’t pay,
We turn our back to make it look like we don’t understand.
Carry on like we were soldiers, to find that we were wrong.
We sell our souls for the answer to find what we had lost.
What are we waiting for?
I’m running away from mistakes that I have made.
Is this what we’ve waited for? The funeral for everyone.
I say I love you still, but the only thing I know,
Is if we make it out alive…
What are you running away from? We’ve really done it this time.
If I decide to stay…
I’m running away from the mess we all have made.
This is what we say instead, ‘the king is dead, the king is dead!’
I say I love you still, but the only thing I know,
Is if we make it out alive…

This goes out to the people on the breadline,
living their dreams leaving everyone behind
No money in our pockets
No time to slow down
We're in the queue for this wildride
can't say we lived unless we tried,
so take a ticket get in line
fasten your seatbelts it's our time
Cos you're all (small fish)
In a big fucking pond you've got (big dreams)
But you've been dreaming to long
The only difference between me and you, a man with nothing aint got nothing to lose
Waste your time sell yourself to the masses,
we're just trying to be ourselves
our bitter pill to swallow
just screaming at Walls,
We're in the queue for this wildride
can't say we lived unless we tried,
so take a ticket get in line
fasten your seatbelts it's our time
Cos you're all (small fish)
In a big fucking pond you've got (big dreams)
But you've been dreaming to long
The only difference between me and you, a man with nothing aint got nothing to lose
Nothing left
Left to lose
Means nothing
Left to prove
Bitter pills
There to swallow
Everyone needs
Someone to follow
Empty pockets
Dance floors
We're just screaming
At the walls
Bitter pills
there to swallow
Everyone needs
Someone
