Failure

Break these chains, set me free
Break these chains, set me free
Save me from myself
Where is the light in this wretched darkness?
Becoming one with the abyss
Another one on the path less traveled
Searching for the light
I am my own worst enemy
My demons sing to me
Look at ya now, back to where you started
What do ya know, questioning life again
All that I see, is your future
And I believe that you're a failure
Look at ya now, back to where you started
What do ya know, staring in the mirror
All that I see, is your reflection
And I believe you will never be free
Running in circles it is always replaying in my mind, one more time
Drowning in the oceans of defeat
Sinking with concrete
Never forgetting that this is the ending of me
A final goodbye to my friends and family

Dead Weight

Cut the dead weight
Nothing changed your still the same
Forget my face, remember my name
Think back to the days when you let me down
Like my time is something to waste
Here we go I'll call you out
You're a fucking disgrace
The empty promises that you never kept
I hope they plague your mind
And make you sick
Like they make me
Your now my enemy
Perhaps you should
Think back to the days when you let me down
Like my time is something to waste
Here we go I'll call you out
You're a fucking disgrace
Forget my face, Remember my name
The bridges you burned, now lay in waste
Forget my face, Remember my name
Now I move on with the memories erased
You're fucking dead to me
I think you've mistaken me for someone who truly gives a fuck
I'll spit in your face when you're down on your knees
Tough shit you fucked up
Forget my face, Remember my name
Dead Weight

Time Flies
If I could rewind back all these years
I wonder who I would be now
Mind is always dwelling on the past
Future awaits but I can't seem to grasp
I have to live with the decisions that I've made
Yet they make me who I am today
T I M E
Is not waiting for me
I lie awake every night and reminisce
About my friends and family and the times that I miss
And how they are never coming back
Just a lost soul stuck in the past
To rewind time
If I could rewind back all these years
I wonder who I would be now
Midnight and it all comes back to me
A vivid memory
Searching for my demons I need to erase
Reflections of my own eyes and face
T I M E
Is not waiting for me
I lie awake every night and reminisce
About my friends and family and the times that I miss
And how they are never coming back
Just a lost soul stuck in the past

Family

The blood in our veins
Is clear enough to see
For it's you all listening
You set fire to our souls
And pour gasoline
These flames are consuming
A heart will stop without blood to beat
We live through you
We are here to bring a light to the darkness that haunts us
But it won't ever stop us
Fuck what they say we will fight another day to show
The power that we hold
We won't break, as long as blood runs in these veins
We won't take, another fucking word you say
We won't wait, conquer all in our way
You fuel this machine, push us towards our dreams
Together we will make memories
Don't know where we would be without the fans
Our family
Without you
Without you we are nothing
But you make us feel like we're something
Now we are a family and that's one thing
I'll take to the grave if nothing else trust me
Fuck you to the people who dissed us
They're in the front row won't miss us
You're with or against us
From the front to the back move if you feel this
From the left to the right jump if you feel this
Woah explode like a bomb we'll blow
Lit the fuse and now they'll know
Woah it's so funny how life goes
Start this war but we will end it

Inner Demons
03:15

|
Here I lay
Defeated and alone
The voices in my head are my own
They whisper to me sacred lies
Enough to make you believe
That this should be the end of me
My victim my casualty
On the outside I seem fine
Because it is all in my mind
Why am I this way?
Does it ever fucking go away?
Well I'm about to fucking break
And take this life away
I suffocate
Skins crawling from the voices as they replay
Hear them every fucking day it makes me sick
I'm done
How does it feel?
When the voices inside your head
Want you dead
They make you hate all you love and question
If you're ready to die
For me it's too late as I kick out the chair and say goodbye
I suffocate on my last words

Battle Cry
04:01
|

|
Could you look in the eyes of a soul
Before it dies
Could you take a life
Because they say it's right
Now you're trained to kill
Spill their blood
You will know fear
When you hear
The battle cry you die
Government war machines
They choose your enemy
You Die when you hear the battle cry
Oh
Pawns to slaughter mother and daughter
Kill them all for your country's honor
Hate is human
Heart is humanity
Murder for the government and live with insanity
America the land of the free
ha ha ha ha you're all slaves
A bang and a flash
You take a life for their decisions

Blink
03:17
|

|
Believe in yourself
For life moves fast
In a blink of an eye
Think back 10 years
Are you who you thought you would be?
Oh no, not me
I didn't have a clue
When it comes don't hesitate
Or you'll miss your chance
Think back 10 years
Tell me what was your plan
Pick it up
I am more than what you want me to be
I am nothing in your eyes
I am everything you hate and cherish
I am your fucking god
Hear the voices calling
Feel the ones besides me
It makes us who we are
Don't take life for granted
Even in the havoc
The gamble is who we are
I got one thing left to say
It's fuck what you think of me
