Only Human 03:31
Do you remember when we were kids? and life felt so innocent and pure oh it feels like a dream hold on for the years are flying right before my own eyes Day by day, the days we've known are gone But the memory remain And in our hearts is where they cultivate Do you remember The times share and the memories made Or did they all fade away from your mind like smoke, in a plume of smoke Stinging my old eyes And it brings me down Seeing how our lives played out With my friends now in their graves And I wonder what if that was me Would you care? Would you even care? I am only human my emotions get the best of me So now that the days go on I'll say it every goddamn day Cherish the ones you love And make memories It's fucked when you realize that Everyone you love could be gone just The very next day so hold them dear Celebrate the cheer before you realize It's time to say goodbye I don't wanna be dwelling on The "What Ifs" when it's time for me to Lose somebody else Put our petty differences aside and realize Our love and connection is pure human wealth

Trainwreck 03:14
Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinion of sheeps I'm just a piece of shit, but people like you need me Don't dare disagree, wipe that shit off your face brown noser A hypocrite who talks good talk, but can't live up their words Playing with fire, but that don't bother me I wear my scars, but yours I can't see So I hope you kept that shovel Because you ain't buried shit bitch I'm not the only one who sees through the mask you wear I'm not the only one who sees through you You're such a fucking fake for pity's sake Give me a break, coming at me like it's my mistake You blew it out of proportion, contortion making me the enemy When you're only gonna be A shadow off my shine bitch I'm just a piece of shit, but people like you need me And this proves it I brush that dirt off my shoulders Because you aren't worth shit to me And with my back full of daggers I don't trust any human being You dedicated some words I'm just returning the favor The fucking trainwreck is you And if the shoe fits fucking lace it up it's just another snake in the grass

Oh snap move to the beat it's the underground sound to kick out your seat and it's no surprise when you open your eyes the abyss boys back and kicking it live with the lyrics that cut through sharp as knives in and out your ears lacerate your mind leaving grooves that age like fine wine looking over my shoulder all this time, because I'm so paranoid that I'm out of the darkness, out of the darkness and into light I'm all ready and able to bring an end to the fable so bring your best to the table and realize that I don't think you know what to expect from a motherfucker like me, to expect from me, so bury your dead. Oh yeah bring back the heat never falter my moves or admit defeat got too many people invested in me to just give up or admit defeat rinse and repeat turn up the heat with the grooves coming from the electric street 5 7 0 in my blood til I die bring that hook back one more time like 1 2 bring it back oh out of the darkness and into light I'm all ready and able to bring an end to the fable so bring your best to the table and realize that I won't quit

Nemesis 04:06
Mind is my worst enemy it devours me another victim of anxiety, suffocation eternally. Slowly I'm drowning in a sea of thoughts, numb to the touch I hate everything I love, in this divide I hide my face, behind this mask that I've created. Can you hear my voice? Can you save me now? From my existence My own living hell That burns the leaves Ashes in the breeze And leaves a stain on my family tree Leave me in the dust the ashes as they sail the wind Phantom a ghost, my own nemesis Bury me now in this shell this grave Hallow be thy name I'm just a shell smiling in the suffering Of my own hell Corrupting me I never chose this life Put on this earth to squirm and writhe To squirm and writhe, in the gutters full of shit That is the human race, Destroy defile an earth oh so clean Fathoming that we are this plague upon the earth I don't wanna be involved with this plague among the earth Can you hear my voice? Can you save me now? From my own existence my own living hell That burns the leaves, ashes in the breeze And leaves a stain on my family tree In the fire Can you hear my voice? Can you save me now? From my own existence my own living hell
