You bow down your head when faced with an obvious question
And I know now that I just can't be wrong
because you fell down into a pile of your own self
and I know that suddenly you've realized that you're trapped inside your own head
and I know your suffering, when you realize that you're as lost as the words you say

Growing Down
04:25
|

You couldn't fathom the river of shame
It has no meaning and fills up our ears with distaste
and they’re claiming their words are the law
Helpless
What are you teaching?
Why are you preaching and who do you plan to save?
A scowl reaping flown
astray
and when you're finished growing up, you can join me in growing down
another handful of threats from the frail
let's all bare witness and watch all their dreams be impaled by time
you tongue tied mess
I don ’ t even give a shit about what you have to say
you don't matter either way
you're filling an ocean of hate and killing an ocean of dreams
Nothing but broken promises
chew them up, swallow them down and shit them out on the masses
step off your soapbox and please stop the feeding
for once and for all
you're down to the last penny
now take your bow
soulless
inside we're bleeding, outside your feeding and hungry for the next
you're just a scowl, reaping, and you've flown astray
and when you're finished growing up you can join me in growing down
You sell a million words that don't fucking mean a thing
and I'm here to tear you down off you're fucking cross
and I know that suddenly you've realized that you're trapped inside your own head
and I know your suffering, when you realize that you're as lost as the words you say

Tainted Ones

She tries to find a way to see while clutching to a knife
because he's on his way home and wants everyone behaved
but I don't hide or try to flee
there's a fire in my eyes
I'll fall away unwhole and make them all wonder
No, they don't care about anything, and they don't care about anyone
they'll rip your heart out of your chest and eat your fucking soul alive
we are the tainted ones and we bathe in unconsciousness
when will I return to myself?
what if I never come back home?
there is no way to make my mind believe that we are one
they'll steal the food off your plate
they'll leave you torn and disgraced
become the problem
there is no way to save my life from these hopeless dreams
the more you learn, the more you're lost
become the problem solved
in her wake I see the pale light
I outstretch both of my arms and I can't feel you anymore
and I close all the open door
are you scared and helpless?
do you blame your parents?
a victim of circumstance?
did you break your mirrors?
the only one that you should blame is your own self
I know that your head said "run away, cowardly"
lie down and play dead
well thats your own fucking choice
I know that your head said "run away, cowardly"
lie down and play dead
well thats your own fucking choice
we are the tainted ones and we will refuse to compromise with any of your demands
cause we are the tainted ones and we weren't handed a god damned thing
we grabbed it all with our fists
no, I'll never stray because the path I lay is mine to make
so follow me or choose to bathe in unconsciousness
she tries to find a way to see after cutting out her eyes
because he's on his way home and wants everyone behaved
No, you ’ ll never hear my plea and you'll never take my eyes from me
you can not win them all but you can not let them win
full of sin
lying thin
deep within my own reasons
I'll break out of any cage that you put me in
I am me, you are you, and that's the fucking difference
and there isn't a single part of me that would retreat or give up on what could be
or make all this torment a memory
I am me, you are you, were the tainted ones
I am me, you are you, were the tainted ones
I am me, you are you, that's the fucking difference

My Words Edgewise
05:17
|
|||
you've suffered some, so suffer some more
put your chains back on and love the floor
you're in sight and in mind
and leave nothing behind
bleed me
drain me
skin me
eat me alive
your story is ending
you're gone and well upon your way
never succumbing, I'll take back everything
another piece to confiscate
another open hand is extending
pay no mind, don't pay at all
another tick
no, you are not unique
not the first nor the last
because you always are and never were
just scrape it off
just scratch a little more off me
break everything
all the pieces don't add up to anything
and now you’re leaving
take everything
all the pieces may not fall in place
but that won't stop my heart from beating
another chance to fall right through the cracks
another chance to turn your back
it's time to shed all of my enemies
you'll never make your amends
you'll never live your regrets
you'll always suck on the blood of the free
you say you're sorry but I can't feel the remorse
and I won't hear your words
no, I will never listen to your words again
break everything
all the pieces don't add up to anything
and now your leaving
take everything
all the pieces may not fall in place
but that won't stop my heart from beating
that’s right
my words, edgewise
your words, never again

Turn for the Worse
07:21
|

you wake, my child
for while you were asleep, we died
Falling into me
Well, I've heard that lie told a million ways
Lay your hand on mine and then feel my clench
because if i'm going to hell you will be coming with me
A silent ending
to the sirens of my name
and you'll repeat my name knowing you will slowly drown
I'll be your ally to meet your fate
I'm hell, raw and untamed, and no one can save me from me
I am still waiting
I'm never wrong
I'm sitting on the edge of nowhere
and I keep on singing the same old song
but it can't save me from this nightmare
oh but I can save myself
I will relinquish my own tale of misery
whats this hell I'm fucking living?
I'll end it in disgust and distaste
You'll find a way to justify anything that you please
eyes roll skywards
now I'm unrelenting
I stole the world out of the palm of your hand
your silent ending
your silence heals my pain
and you'll repeat my name knowing you will slowly drown
while our eyes caress
slowly disconnect
all that's wrong is correct
both our lives erased
all the color from your face washed away and turned to grey
and all the memories that I can't live without leave with you
and I am still waiting
I'm never wrong
I'm standing on the edge of nowhere
and I keep on singing the same old song
because it can save me from this nightmare
save me, save me, save me
no, no, no
there is no light for me
I blew out the flame
and now I'm cursed to walk the earth on my hands
flooded eyes embrace the shame
I'll never be the same
you were my everything
and there is no pity for your fucking ass
open your eyes and look at me while you embrace the clench
you bitch, you're fucking erased
forever celibate in your eternal rest
you were my everything
and now the end is all we fucking have
this is the way it has to be
you must endure the wrath
over and over
even long after your last heart beat

The Error of Ways
04:20
|
|||
I don’t know why I let it all get to me
lock it up and keep it sworn to secrecy
soak it up until there is nothing left
bleed me out with all the anguish I’m trying to put to rest
it’s just a nonstop battle with the one I hate most
I’m overtaken by every single one of my ghosts
I’m beginning to find myself buried in my arms
I’ll try to see how much I can take until I sink within
gnawing my flesh and forever obsessed
I don’t know why I let it control me
creep inside and take ahold of my sanity
I’m beginning to find myself buried in my arms
I’ll try to see how much I can take until I sink within
I’m beginning to lose myself in the taste of harm
I could watch the whole world burn and I know you feel the same
too little, too late
I’m feeding the flame
Too little, too late and to the point of no return
how on earth could I have felt so small
that the insignificance that I truly am
would be the basis of my existence
the error of ways burn with me
the error of ways burn with me
I’m beginning to find myself buried in my arms
I’m beginning to lose myself in the taste of harm
I’m beginning to find myself buried in my arms
I’ll try to see how much I can take until I sink within
I’m beginning to lose myself in the taste of harm
I could watch the whole world burn and I know you feel the same
On my knees without a prayer
you demand the price of pain
feel the meat slide across my teeth
you demand the price of pain
with shaking hands in the air
you demand the price of pain
I lose my last belief

Suspended

They're selling envy
without the benefit of doubt
and they don't want your money
they just want you to never figure out that you're a slave to dishonesty
that they all create
cause they'll cross the line and then erase it
and with all your might, and all your pride, you cannot deny
that you can not change the world you live in
you're living a lie
We're selling envy
we'll nail you up to a wall
and we love pretending to care about anything at all
cause we are slaves to dishonesty that we all create
and we'll cross the line and then embrace it
and with all our might, and all our pride, we cannot deny
that we can not change the world we live in
we're living a lie
suspended between your birth and your death
suspended between the beginning and end
they're lost and never to be found
they ran away and left the ground
running from your own reflection
and everyday they portray never ending dishonesty
share your lie
know your worth
share your lie
leave the earth
you just keep digging a hole
you just keep keep begging for more, and more, and more, and more, and more
Why are you digging a hole?
cross your fingers and pray for an escape
wasted and lost among the unknown and the grave
all that matters will become shattered in this hole
why are you stealing the hope?
why are you shaving the sheep?
why are you chasing a dream while you're down on your knees?
you can't fly with broken wings
you just keep begging them please
they're pulling on your strings
and they'll tie you up and leave you suspended
we are never clean
we’re damage to the heart
and I will lock you out, I’ll lock you out
we are unclean
we’re damage to my heart
all the walls surround me
they lock you out and seal me in
we are unseen
we’re nowhere to be found
all the walls surround me and I fall into myself
we are unclean
we’re banished from my heart
all the walls around me
lock you out and seal me in
we are unclean
we’re banished from my heart
all the walls around me
they lock you out and seal me in

I felt the pain
a stigma
I was infected
but I can't look back and I have to break my promises
time kills and the callous grows
my eyes dried and my scabs turned to scars
I have no patience and I swear I'm gonna call you out
so mouth shut and just make sure that you don't make one mistake
my fucking violence flows like the waves of this world
so bury all your strength from me
compassion leaving me in an overbearing sea
where all my kindness got me no where and there was no where left to go
fuck it, it's all just bull shit and I'll never forfeit
only give what's deserved
and I say no
I’ll take whats mine ahead of time
you'll see me coming
I don't fucking hide
from skin to bone and from me to you
no matter what you do just make sure that you don't make one mistake
my fucking violence flows like the waves of this world
bury all the strength of man

Selfless Kin

amber scion
don’t let your cries out, not today
amber scion
don’t cry your eyes out
in a world of shun and doubt
I seek the truth
but I’m scared to find out that all I am, all we were, all we’ll be
is just an insignificant memory
nothing can fill the absence
how can you steal what was never even there?
what can you say to no one?
how can you expect me to feel when you never even fucking cared
deny us the chance to grieve, the chance to heal
you never stay but you are always here
I lower my head into my hands and squeeze until the pain sets me free
do we deserve this?
were we asking for it?
you can keep your punishments
in your own way you see them wade into the light
we are all stained in hate in this subtle murder
lets set the record straight
you’ve denied us the chance to grieve, the chance to be set free
there will never be an answer worth hearing
you're just a mouth that coughs up lies
I’m breaking the cycle alone
I’m losing you
I’ll throw it all away
we are the selfless kin
and we’re persevering
and we are not your memory
we are where the truth begins
and we’re never mending and we will invent your ending

Bygones be bygones
So, so long to all of your sin
Pull my teeth
I just stopped fucking listening
Now I hate everything here
Never call any place my home
I just rent the earth
Nothing is my own
Eat, drink, shit, piss, breathe, choke
Killed my youth
Kill my life
I'm a sacrifice
And I know that I'm not alone
every second I'm alive I am waving good bye
Day and night we suffer the agony
And we're losing the fight
While pinching pennies
You know I am right
We're all so fucking weak
And we can't change a god damned thing cause we are nothing
Earn your keep and they'll keep what you earn
If you try to change the world, the world will change you, mock you, mold you and
laugh while it's fucking you
We stay alone
suddenly I'm wide awake and you can’t stop me while I drink the full half
We stay alone
and selfishly I pull away cause what I need now is a knife run across my neck
I’ve been devoted, devoured, depressed, and ingested
And contemplate slitting throats with good intentions
But I keep holding the hand that beats me
A loveless romance
A tribulation
Day and fucking night we suffer the agony
And we're losing the fight
While pinching pennies
Unless we’re dead
We’ll be working towards the end
Just like my dad did, and his dad did, until we're all slain
You rich little fuck
Silver spoon sucking mother fucker
These kings without a crowns
They haven't earned a fucking thing, except for me
The innocent will lie down without me
bygones be bygones
so, so long
We stay alone
suddenly I'm wide awake and you can’t stop me while I drink the full half
We stay alone
and selfishly I pull away cause what I need now is a knife run across my neck
now, with all your hate and callous skin
You cannot stop your foes from winning
Drink the full half of the glass
And embrace a life not worth living
not even worth living

who would have known that we would have made it this far
when we knew from the start that we were flawed
and who would have guessed that I could have turned this cold
realize everything as time made us old
and if I could turn back time would I even try to make things right?
if I could rewrite every page, I'd make the same mistakes
and I’d relive every lie
where is death
I've been calling for it
I’ve been waiting for you all of these years
well now, you're fucking with a man who has nothing left
and I don't give a shit
well now, who's the one living in a fantasy?
blinded and a toothless frown screams but there is no sound
bones break as you shit the bed
cause life's a fucking game that you will never win
we are not what you think we are
we will all turn to nothing
strength fading
an aging will
you will be coming with me
strength fading
an aging will
you won't be fucking with fate
oh and the clock ticks
your body is alive but your mind is dead
and your soul does not exist
oh well thats right
you're all fucking dead
every fucking one
silence
morphine drips
slowly slip
ribs sink from your last breath cause life's a fucking game that you will never win
we are not what you think we are
we are already dead
strength fading
an aging will
you will be coming with me
strength fading
an aging will
you won't be fucking with fate
the way I hide on the inside
it’s not like the way I lie on the outside
It’s not a weight I can carry
I am forever thrown
oh the way I lie
It’s the way we die, that right, you and I
we can never stay home
and you should know that life is always counting down
