Yeah everybody wants to live this life
I think you just lost your self control
I know you wanna put it all on the line
Just let time give you back the world
Yeah are you gonna chase an empty feeling?
This is how you try and fix yourself
Yeah are you hang on to the meaning?
Put it back so you can find yourself
I'm sick and tired
Of being in a system that never gave a shit about me
If you think I'm buying
You lying piece of shit I'll never bow down to the king
Does everybody have to pay the price
The time it takes to live this dream
You could live in fear and let it take
Everything from you and from me
This is how they throw us a bone down in a hole
Just like a blood bath
This is how they leave us alone and watch us go
Just like they wanted
Shut up
Shut up
I'm sick and tired
Of being in a system that never gave a shit about me
If you think I'm buying
You lying piece of shit I'll never bow down to the king
Don't disrespect the game that we play
Don't put a price on anybody's name
Don't look back like you paved the way
Everybody falls for the words you say
I know that your just lying to my face
You lying piece of shit
You lying piece of shit
You lying piece of shit
(Shut up, shut up)
You lying piece of shit
(Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up)

What a sick way to get the itch out of your system
Making deals to feel the light pass through your system
This is what I have to do get myself out of the darkness
Cause you already know I worked too damn hard you know I want this
Everybody wants to sell you something
Everybody wants a piece of you
Everybody wants to come from nothing
And everybody wants to make it through
Don't pass the torch if you don't have the flame
(I live by your rejection, no truth in your acceptance)
They sell your soul they sell your name
(I walk in my direction they fall in your deception)
Where do I stand among the lies, deceit, and filth
Your selling everybody a dream and your making it a living hell
You want us to climb back up these walls, so you can watch us fall back down
We're all just running in circles around and around
Everybody wants to sell you something
Everybody wants a piece of you
Don't pass the torch if you don't have the flame
(I live by your rejection, no truth in your acceptance)
They sell your soul they sell your name
(I walk in my direction they fall in your deception)
I won't betray myself
Tear everything from the inside out
Kick a dog when it's down
I won't dismantle myself
Playing your games trying to find my way in
Trying to find my way back out

Where are the boundaries?
The walls that were gonna keep you out
I feel the wind shift
In my direction but you wanna be the hurricane
I thought you were beneath this
The way you grit your teeth you gave yourself away
Come rain on the parade
Your coming undone
It means nothing to me
I see what you become
And your prying in
Just like the rest of them
It's nothing I could ever change
Sink your teeth right in
Bath in blood again
It's nothing I could ever change
Just like a lost soul
Hanging on to a lie you should get off your chest
Digging deeper
Sold your soul
With your pride holding you back
Come bring on the charade
You think I'm done?
Let's keep playing these games
If this is what you want
And your prying in
Just like the rest of them
It's nothing I could ever change
Sink your teeth right in
Bath in blood again
It's nothing I could ever change
Cause I've got nothing to prove to you
An empty, lost soul that wants to do
Something was never right about you
The way you grit your teeth the way you whisper under your breathe
You wanna feel like I do
You wanna feel like I do
You wanna feel like I do
You wanna feel like I do
Where are the walls?
Where are the boundaries
And your prying in
Just like the rest of them
It's nothing I could ever change
Sink your teeth right in
Bath in blood again
It's nothing I could ever change
Where are the boundaries?
The walls that were gonna keep you out

Throw it All Away
04:24

I'm reaching out
Trying to find a piece in me
But all I found
Was just someone who just wants to be
You say good things
You always wanna set me free
All I want, I just want your company
When I throw it all away
And start over again
I think I'm done
Trying to make it always seem
Just for fun
Until you start to feel the ned
And you blame yourself
But no one cares how much you bleed
And you lose yourself
In a person that you wanna be
When I throw it all away
And start over again
All the strength and restraint
Pass by me
Lost myself to the way I let it define me
I thought it'd fill this hole inside of me
Just like a newborn soul inside of me
When I throw it all away
When I throw it all away
Shouldn't of been looking for salvation in all the wrong places
And you pretend to pass the torch in a broken system
I'm gonna throw it all away
I'm gonna start all over again
(Just to throw it all away)
Again
So I can throw it all away
All the strength and restraint
Pass by me
Lost myself to the way I let it define me
I thought it'd fill this hole inside of me
Just like a newborn soul inside of me

New Blood

I feel the greyscale monotone empty meaning
Third person on the outside
I feel the hurricane inside when I'm still breathing
Transparent isolated machine
Everytime you try and bury me in an early grave
I crawl out and make you swallow all the words you say
All of a sudden you forgot all the things you did and I'm supposed to believe this?
Am I part of a system that just wants to watch me beg on my knees
And I'm supposed to believe this
Broken mechanism breathing down my neck for an opportunity
I'm not a part of the process
I'm not another victim to this industry
Keep on pushing down on the ceiling you'll always be beneath me
Keep on barking up the wrong tree
I'm not the new blood
I'm gonna bite the hand that never feeds
All of a sudden true colors start to paint a picture
Right in front of me
You feel like you're on top
It's too bad there's a long drop down
Empty handed and bought
I'm not a part of the process
I feel the greyscale monotone empty meaning
Third person on the outside
I feel the hurricane inside when I'm still breathing
Transparent isolated machine

And all the things you want the most
Sometimes you got to learn to let it go
Maybe it will come right back to you
When you least expect it to
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends
Empty hands were all you knew
Just trying to keep your heart full
Maybe it wasn't meant for you
Maybe you needed something new
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends
They would love to watch you rot inside the ground
And tear you from the inside out without a sound
Is the grass always greener on the other side
I see you lose yourself thinking about it a hundred times
It's just what you want but not what you need
It's just what you want but not what you need
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends

War Machine
03:47

You can't corner a wolf with sheep
I already know everything you're gonna do to me
Tell me why
Why you got your eyes on me
I read the signs to predict my own reality
I'm sick
I'm alive
I'm tired
Am I
Like this
And I fight
Just to hide
Live my life
Do I
Want this
Overmind brainwashed the weak
But all your cryptic words are never going to get by me
Hands red tell me what's the point of all of this
Truths dead but your lies will never turn out to be
Born into a war machine
I already know everything you're going to do to me
The blood thins at the top of the tree
It comes back it never lets you sleep
I'm sick
It really doesn't matter
I'm tired
It doesn't matter
I'm sick
I'm alive
I'm tired
Am I
Like this
And I fight
Just to hide
Live my life
Do I
Want this
I know all the things you'll do to me
I can't escape my own reality
I know you always had it out for me
I'm pushing you out from the inside
I'm pushing you out of my mind
(I could make it better)
(When it doesn't matter)
All of the terrible people I'll meet
I wish I didn't feel like a war machine
I'm pushing you out from the inside
I'm pushing you out of my mind

Iron Lung

My empty hands climb a ladder that doesn't exist
I'm being pushed down by the pressure of an iron fist
Your damage plan where the bottom of the bottom is full of empty promises
I was listening I was watching you
Distract us from the distance
I'm not sentimental about the things that never cared about me Never gave a shit about me
Another deal another vicious cycle waiting at my doorstep
Just another thing I'm gonna have to deal with
If you only knew what you put me through
You spit it out like a loaded gun your full of lies with a bullet tongue
Just another deal another vicious cycle waiting at my doorstep
Just another deal another vicious cycle I'm not gonna deal with
Wolves in the throne room
Wolves in the throne room
Wolves in the throne room
You want my empty hands to bleed
I'm not sentimental about the things that never cared about me
Never gave a shit about me

Burn the Bridge

Trust please just let me breathe
I gave it all I got look what you did to me
The downfall I've seen before
I learned my lesson once please don't teach it anymore
I keep on running from another lie
I keep on pushing it down inside
I'm gonna burn the bridge down
All the trust is getting in the way
The empathy never feels the same
I'm gonna burn the bridge down
Trust I fell for you
Gave you all my heart now it's broken into two
The repeat the same defeat
There's nothing more I want give my back my peace
Give me back my peace
Give me back my peace
I keep on running from another lie
I keep on pushing it down inside
I'm gonna burn the bridge down
All the trust is getting in the way
The empathy never feels the same
I'm gonna burn the bridge down
Don't lie don't disconnect
My truth my only friend
This is my empathy
Red flags are here again
It's all you ever meant
This is my empathy
Burn the bridge down

The Good Times
03:48
|

|
And it's stuck in your lungs and I know that you feel like you wanna escape
Needle inside your vein it's the perfect place when you don't even think about what you say
Cause everybody always gets excited about the things that never happen
And everybody forgets all the things they say when you're not when you're not around them
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
And you could tell me bad bad things as long as long as they're true
Tell me all the sad sad things that are bothering you
And it's all in your head don't you wanna just feel like the words that you said
You don't have to pretend cause you know in the end that no one's here to be a helping hand
Cause everybody always gets excited about the things that never happen
And everybody forgets all the things they say when you're not when you're not around them
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
And you could tell me bad bad things as long as long as they're true
Tell me all the sad sad things that are bothering you
You don't have to lie to me
About the good times
You don't have to lie to me
About the good times
Everything you say is only hurting you
You're digging a hole deep deep down inside of you
Everything you say is never true
Never true
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
(Everything you say is hurting you)
You don't have to lie to me about the good times
(Everything you say is never true)
