Gone
I never thought that I
Wouldn’t mind the rain
I never though it could be as dark
As it was yesterday
I never thought that’d be with you
But still feel so alone
I never thought I’d go off to war
And be afraid to come back home
If all you want is for me to rot
Then just say the word!
If jealously will fuel your fire
It’s gonna burn burn burn!
I never thought that’d I’d be with you
And still feel so alone
I never thought I’d go off to war
And be afraid to come back home
I never thought that I would say
So I’ll say it in time
‘Cause every time I think of you
I can’t help but to rhyme
And I’m fading apart
Like city light stars
Because my world isn’t dark
It’s just gone

Lies!

Lies!
Unbrace yourself from space and time
A landslides by to crash and dive
A Silent cry, it sirens by
And screams to cease and desist
Got my ideas waiting for me
In a mind that’s aching for me So is drink and a dance is a shot and a glance
Seen through the eyes of all the
LIES! SPIES! LULLABYS!!
I’ll tell you boy, your eyes imply to watch my fucking mouth
RUN, CRY, HIDE, OR DIE!
I’m sitting here by space and time
Watching as it dies and cries along with all the mind
Who sleep in the silence of those lies
Who’s to blame for the way we live?
no one but you, if it’s the blame you give!
It’s a mutiny, a fucking threat to society
That’s absent of piety
These words are a part of me
But no one thinks straight
With words of hate
And it isn’t a debate when you retaliate
Stand up, be heard
Don’t be the herd
Let’s shake the world
With a unique state of mind
You’re free, but with nowhere to run
Sense of security undone
By suits and bills, innate cheap thrills
This isn’t the way it has to be!
I want to play this axe until the day they bury me
And sing over the silence propagated by the constant cries of
LIES! SPIES! LULLABYS!!
I’ll tell you boy don’t even try to run you r fucking mouth
RUN, CRY, HIDE, OR DIE!
The words of a degenerate
Are curved and bent by handymen of word and pen
You’ll see the consequences never end
LIES! SPIES! LULLABYS!!
LIES! SPIES! LULLABYS!!
LIES! SPIES! LULLABYS!!

Fog

Fog
Standby while I fight this fog
My eyes and ears are waterlogged
and I’m too weak to sleep
but I’d give anything to hear you talk
Cause if you could talk me out of this
I’d stand up and walk out of this
I’ve been here for so long
Standby while I fight this fog
I took too long to write this song
The words always escape me
The verses always burn and break me down
These lines are tired and old
Wish I could do what I’m told
I wish I could get the fire
Cause my world is getting cold
And this darkness is getting old
All we are is broken hearted
And we’re stuck here watching
Time turn to dust
Life fall from trust
Try if you must
I hope you just
I fought too long to come out strong
Theres nothing you don’t know
I try but words all come out wrong
I hope you never let me let you go
I hope you hope that I’m wrong
I know you knew all along
I’m caught inside you’re afterthought
But you forgot

Amygdala
Someone once told me to pursue the things I love
Now I put out fires within my amygdala
I stare at the ceiling wishing I could rise above
Impossibilities that I’ve been thinking of
I point my finger at the mirror
So at least I have someone to blame
I always shiver; it’s driving me crazy
I Don’t think that I’ll ever be the same
It’s not a problem if it makes me happy
At least that’s what I tell myself
I know I’ll make it through this cold resentment
Just to become hell bent
On shattering the heavens
Don’t wake me up until the flames have come and gone
Open my eyes when only smoke obscures the dawn
I wanna wipe away the lines that have been drawn
Into the tangled web that I’ve been sleeping on

Will You Murder Me
02:42
|
|

I had to fight the feeling off
That I wanted to forget you
But I fought it off to get you
And I swear that I won’t let you
Smile as you cry
I’m trying, trying to forget you
By staying awake and wishing the world away
This might be
The death of me
But this could be the rest of me
Will you murder me?
This is gonna hurt
While I’m laying in my bed
And telling lies inside my head
I lay awake
I lie to make it all ok for you and
I still feel you at my side
You slice and spatter my insides
I lay awake
I lie to take the pain away from you and I
This might be
WE’LL WAIT AND SEE!
The death of me
I START TO BLEED!
But this could be the rest of me
I’M ON MY KNEES!
Will you murder me?
I’m alive
And I check the time
By staring at the sun
Until my eyes burn up and dry
I try but I can’t cry
I’m a ghost that flies during the night
Who lies right beside Frankenstein
Who laughs until he cries
When he brings me back to life

Vilifier
Oh, Say can you see the hypocrisy
in what we’ve been calling democracy
No matter we say, we never try to get away
If all goes as planned you’ll just sit and obey
IT’S ALL BEEN INBRED TO BE INSIDE YOUR HEAD!
Guided by every word that you said
they sleep on the dead they hide under their bed
when they crawl out they shred
they paint walls red
Don’t you know that we’re treading water?
have you noticed that it’s getting hotter?
We try to gasp for air that was never even there
because they saved it in tanks.
So are you our saving grace, or just saving face?
I’m trapped inside a rabbit hole will Alice get me out of this place?
They’re sending kids to war all they have to do is sign
When they cross the t’s and dot the i’s they’ve crossed the fucking line
baby on the floor, hands in the mouth
how can we be sure, if we don’t know what he’s talking about
the wizard of the porch will light a torch the burn the cable
to find out what he’s doing, see whats brewing on my coffee table
And I don’t ever want to die
i want to live forever in the terror in the smiles in their eyes
Well I don’t know if you want to know,
But if you choose the side of liars
i will be your vilifier
Well I don’t know if you want to know,
But if you choose the side of liars
i will be your vilifier

Everybody Swing
They crack the surface but the earth is born to kill
We scream of moving forward
But we float through every moment standing still
But if our screams should turn to whispers
These idol hands would burn with blisters
I know you’re hell bent, I am too
But to tell you the truth
IF THEY WERE SENDING THIER BEST
I WOULD HAVE DRESSED
WITH A BULLET PROOF VEST ON
AND COVERED UP THIS
CHEST FOR YOU TO REST ON
GO LOW
TO LET THEM KNOW
WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN
AND WE NEVER LET GO!
LIGHTS OUT!
WHEN WE WANT TO
MIC CHECK
WHEN WE SHOUT
IM DEAD AND BURIED BUT THE CEMETERY ROSE TO DIG ME OUT
We carve the writings on the walls
Incase they tried to clean them
I used to draw and hold the lines
Until I read between them
And now they don’t have a leg to stand on
Or an aircraft carrier to land on
We are their nightmare
And we are here

Stay Out of the Sun

Stay Out of the Sun
Stay out of the sun thats how the vultures will make you
But if you sleep inside the shadows then the darkness will take you
Slip inside nobodies mind and nobody will mind
You stumble in the dark but when you close your eyes
You’re fine, You’re fine, You’re fine
Your voice is a vice to me
So tighten up until I say the word
You’ve got some advice for me
Shut your mouth
Or share it with the world
But if you say
We’ll never find out why
I guess we’ll stay
To find out if you’re right
It’s our mistake
To say we’re killing time
But if you find yourself above yourself
Don’t step into the light
Open your eyes,
There is no surviving time
I hope you run faster than hell
Because they’re on your tail and not that far behind
If you listen, You can miss it just in time
But if time is made of light
Then you better run, run, run, run, run
To stay out of the sun

Splinter
You started the riot
I’m only here to watch it burn
You tried to fight the world
But you forgot that it could turn
You’re out to get me
Let me tell you I can tell
I can smell the death that’s on your breath
When you breathe down my neck
And the statements you make
Are intended mistakes
And the faces you make are fake
You channel in
We tune out
Remote control
We’re watching you now
And you started riot
I’m only here to watch it burn
You tried to fight the world
But you forgot that it could turn
We’ve got the documents the names of all your occupants
It makes me stop and wonder
How much thunder are we under?
We’re stuck in the rain
And chemicals that fuck with our brains
You’re all insane!
You lied by what you wouldn’t say

Truth or Die

Truth or Die
I tried to come save you from the voice in your head
But the truth means nothing to you
You're dying for a savior who left you for dead
And I am too
I won't widdle my life away
with the knife that tries to fillet me
time won't be there to save the day
and no one believes me
It's truth or die!
And I'm trying to save your mind
But you fight for lies!
And I don't fear the fire in your eyes
But you should fear mine
It's truth or die
My mind can't sleep at night
Because I keep the light on
When I fire off a bullet to bite on
No one hears the noise
But I'm not waiting around
To watch this world destroy itself
And you're not making a sound because
your heaven is our hell
Your mind is a burning book
And the pages contain everyone you took
In a room where the walls hear it all
They'd crash and burn if they could choose to fall
The world is never what you see
Because reailty hides in the devil in your dreams
You run away and hide when I find
The cracks in the surface of the lie that you deny
A lesson from a candle everybody watch and learn
If you want to light the way you have to FUCKING BURN
If you want to give it all you only need 2 things
A heart that bleeds and bleeds and bleeds for everything that screams
A hate inside your head that begs and pleads to shatter kings
An idea thats so old you couldn't bare to count the rings
If you want to save us all you only need to think:
“Love and Guts”. It’s truth or die.

I Bleed Black and Red
03:38

I Bleed Black and Red
I'm tired of light
Tired of nights inside this island in your mind
Still biding my time
Still biting to grind my teeth at you.
Nowhere to Run!
Still Gunning it
Stunned and out gunned
Still hunting it
Time riddles and laughs
While I shrivel and gasp
We're going nowhere fast!
I'm taking out the door
My heart is my claymore
I rupture while these vultures wait for me and pray for more
You won't take our minds
The fire in these eyes
Higher up my flames ignite
The more I bite and grind
Until I’m nothing but a
Head full of lead,
The words that I said
The smell of the dead
I Bleed Black and—
Head full of lead,
The words that I said
The smell of the dead
I Bleed Black and Red
CRIES, Splitting the skies
The fear in your eyes
Is what is kiiiiilling us inside
truth finds you and dies
groups blind you and
try to silence you!
NOTHING BUT LINES!
That we're fighting for
Holding up signs
For a handwritten war
One line at a time
Words bite when they rhyme
The war on us is the crime
A One way Dead end sign
A Death trap diamond mine
You're trapped inside the clock
but you never seem to know the time
you won't take our minds
The fire in these eyes
Higher up my flames ignite
The more I bite and grind

This One's For You

This One’s For You
It’s easy for you to tell me to breathe
When you’re not the one who’s choking
I never wanted to fix myself
I just wanted to not be broken
I’ll get you out
Just walk with me
You are not alone
Talk to me!
We are broken toys with broken hearts
Trying to Fixing each other with our broken parts
And I’m still fighting the same fight I’ve always been
Even thought I’ll never win
And here I go again
But this one’s for you
I can never find my breath
And I’m too scared to try
It’s like I’m buried alive with an air supply
So if you’re ever next to me
I hope you’ll understand
That if it sounds like I’m gasping for air it’s because I am
