you’ve reached the final day/used up and out of place/the fear that you embrace/the fear without a face/sweet smell of your purity/forever burning in infamy/a tourniquet on your scares to be/surrendering life to a legacy/like a blade between the eyes/like the sound of a million cries/kill off the element of surprise/in this horror film everyone dies/ blood running off your feet/wet footprints in the street/brought down to your knees/cut off the air you breathe/revenge for all you’ve done/for not letting one belong/finish what has begun/won’t stop until it’s done/ like a blade between the eyes/like the sound of a million cries/kill off the element of surprise/in this horror film everyone dies/cut and slash through the skin/afterlife will begin/pity grief pain and sin/open wounds will let it in/bittersweet ecstasy/ the tension is set free/the need to conceive/this void that it leaves/dreams of reality/convulsions entering/it is so hard to believe/what comes on your tv/it seems all so real/this pain that you feel/the killer that you see/ is the killer inside of me/ like a blade between the eyes/like the sound of a million cries/kill off the element of surprise/in this horror film everyone dies/the cameras roll till I say cut until you’ve had enough/let’s put this all on film/so we can watch your blood spill
Surfacing coming back again/noticing my unwanted friend/buried deep I tried to hide/I can’t keep this anger inside/it’s coming back again/bury the hatchet bury me/it’s coming back again/god damn it just let me be/pulsating beneath my skin/desecrating the soul within/promised I would keep the hate inside/uncross my heart because now I’ve lied/ it’s coming back again/bury the hatchet bury me/it’s coming back again/god damn it just let me be/it’s coming back/it’s coming back again/it’s coming back/it’s coming back again/ it’s coming back again/bury the hatchet bury me/it’s coming back again/god damn it just let me be
Kill my heart/first you hate me now you despise me/burn my soul/watch the flames consume all the pain in you/erase the thoughts/that you had of me /all you believed/ inside I live/a constant memory/completely shattering/ hear me call you name/feel me in your veins/the faces never change/I will forever rage/I am always inside/inside you/cut your face/to bleed me out of you but ill clot a new scab you’ll pick/I’m right down the bone you’ll never be alone/blame yourself/for everything you’ve done/for what you’ve become/fate it’s too late/this is the door you chose/it’s where your path goes/hear me call your name/feel me in your veins/the faces never change/I will forever rage/I am always inside/inside you/hear me call your name/feel me in your veins/faces never change/the scars that I have made/are forever engraved/this internal grave/you cannot be saved/paint on canvas with your own blood/so you can see what you’ve become/a smeared portrait of a dead one/feel the steel of a loaded handgun/images stick into your head/I’m inside now this will not end/open wide enter your chrome friend/off we go me and you/i’m glad we’re dead
Riding this carousel of life/spend it all trying to do what’s right/guard comes down/hope goes up/when relying on yourself is not enough/when this world has beat you down/you try to hold the hope you’ve found/you will never make them proud/you’re just one more face/one more face in the crowd/you need a hand to get though/choose your enemies they will define you/make your mark/mark it well/never bury the lie they try to sell/ when this world has beat you down/you try to hold the hope you’ve found/you will never make them proud/you’re just one more face/one more face in the crowd
The solution to every problem/is at the bottom of every bottle/a step further to hold us back/within the cracks and we follow/another question without a meaning/truth misleading/all we swallow/a dying breed is how we stand/we place our hands in the oblong hollow/looking watching testing/don’t ever judge me/I’m nothing like you/living breathing dying/don’t ever look like me/I will just hate you/you sew me back together/to have this love forever/you take my heart to sever/just so you could remember/sever me in pieces/sever me in pieces/to have this love forever/just so you could remember/a statue to represent/all that I meant to you/invited guest to this affliction/this pain addiction/kill to bruise/manipulate/self destruction/I can function to get through/a dying breed is how we stand/we place our knees into the pew/looking watching testing/don’t ever judge me/I’m nothing like you/living breathing dying/don’t ever look like me/I will just hate you/you sew me back together/to have this love forever/you take my heart to sever/just so you could remember/sever me in pieces/sever me in pieces/to have this love forever/just so you could remember/build me up just to tear me down/build me up just to tear me down/put each part into the grinder to spread me in the ground/resurrect just to have me back/resurrect just to have me back/I can/I will/I can/I will/you can’t fight this/you can’t stop this/ resurrect just to have me back/resurrect just to have me back/I can/I will/I can/I will/you can’t fight this/you can’t stop this
Everything was wrong/but I just smiled and moved on/your last whisper meant all the same/you can find someone else to play your game/I tried so hard/tried so hard/to carry your weight/but I knew this ride was over/by the track marks on your face/I realized/that you hands were colder than your eyes/even your happiness had it’s rules/but you can’t take the devil down with you/ I tried so hard/tried so hard/to carry your weight/but I knew this ride was over/by the track marks on your face/I tried to leave/but you got the best of me/you got the best of me/I was not blaming you/but now I am making you/ I tried so hard/tried so hard/to carry your weight/but I knew this ride was over/by the track marks on your face/I tried so hard/tried so hard/to live in your fairy tale head/but even Cinderella is going to end up dead/I tried to leave/but you go the best of me/got the best of me
I can feel it just slipping away/trying to sneak past another day/no direction/no recollection/I just want to go away and fade/can’t sleep because of the nightmares/get wrong from right and hate what’s fair/can’t simplify/can’t justify/I’ll keep cutting until there’s nothing there/hey hey hey/each bullet is for my sins/hey hey hey/race the clock cos’ it always wins/I’ve reached out/I’ve grabbed the hand/it slipped through like grains of sand/false vision/no one listens/if you don’t hear me/then no one can/hey hey hey/each bullet is for my sins/hey hey hey/race the clock cos’ it always wins/I’m beaten/I’m broken/my will has been stolen/I’m beaten/I’m broken/my last words have been spoken/I’m choosing/I’ve chosen/this hatred has woken/I’m beaten/hey hey hey/each bullet is for my sins/hey hey hey/race the clock cos’ it always wins
The shadows grow longer/it’s the start of a new day/you put your face on as ours have nothing to say/you still won’t listen as you throw your life away/we’re drained of tears as this flower goes dry today/in full bloom now/this is the life you chose/you’re pretty as black/you are our dead rose/ you pack your bags and head off into the night/the dark consumes you no matter how much we fight/you’re never wrong and we’re never right/this blackened rose used to shine so bright/ in full bloom now/this is the life you chose/you’re pretty as black/you are our dead rose/whatever happened to you/why can’t you see this through/we want to catch you when you fall/but you turned from us all/just a little more nurture/just a little more nurture/a little more nurture until you suffocate/ in full bloom now/this is the life you chose/you’re pretty as black/you are our dead rose/cut us with your thorns/just to watch the blood flow/you’re never going to come back/you are our dead rose
You think you understand me/why can’t you stand a thing/you try to push and pull me/then try to drag me in/you say you’ve sacrificed/where are your scars to prove/my turn to point the finger/I point it right at you/I’m a liar/I’m a sinner/I’m the cause of all of this/never question/never render/these troubles still exist/ peel back the skin/reveal the blackened heart within/the pain keeps me breathing/my lungs are filled with hate/you tried to save this poor soul/but left with only shame/you say you’ve sacrificed/where are your scars to prove/my turn to point the finger/I point it right at you/I’m a liar/I’m a sinner/I’m the cause of all of this/never question/never render/these troubles still exist/ peel back the skin/reveal the blackened heart within/and now you hold the picture/of who I used to be/you throw it in the fire/that burns inside of me/it’s time to sacrifice/with the funeral to prove/you cannot kill the demons/that are inside of you/ I’m a liar/I’m a sinner/I’m the cause of all of this/never question/never render/these troubles still exist/ peel back the skin/reveal the blackened heart within?
The night moon opens the sky/the face of hell begins to rise/chaotic screaming/from underground/decomposition/from six feet down/the rise of all the forgotten/broken ground ascending dead/mortality is absent/from underneath/what once was/will never be/we never learned/now we fall down/this was our turn/and we fall down/ we never learned/now we fall down/this was our turn/and we fall down/they live/this cursed earth has had it’s time/all of the natives ignored the signs/enter suffering/we won’t stand/the forgotten/take all man/the failed and weak will now fall/feel the wrath of death/hear his call/tragic ending for humanity/ this deicide/we cannot reprieve/ we never learned/now we fall down/this was our turn/and we fall down/the live/when we were put here/we were told to respect/this borrowed land/on our borrowed time/when all we did was destroy/ourselves/each other/now our time is up/now we die/and now we’ve reached our final day/when our existence is wiped away/chaotic screaming/from underground/it’s ourselves/we cannot get out/the rise of all the forgotten/broken ground ascending dead/mortality is absent/from underneath/what once was/will never be/we never learned/now we fall down/this was our turn/and we fall down/ we never learned/now we fall down/this was our turn/and we fall down/they live
INTERNALLY YOURS
FACE IN THE CROWD
SEVER
THE RIDE IS OVER
BULLET FOR MY SINS
DEAD ROSE
BLACKENED HEART WITHIN
RISE OF THE FORGOTTEN
