Dishonored
02:21

Cold heart
Dishonored, disgraced, and left for dead
The filth grew like weeds through concrete
This is a life without redemption
Put them to rest, comatose
Covered in rust
Breathing in mold
Peeling off the scabs
Desecrate my soul
Dead forsaken paradigms that have fallen away
Cold heart
I've heard it all
Walked down this path before
And some things never change
But it's worth dying for
I'll stray from the path
Rebuild what can be saved
Cold hearts and empty eyes
Will not shackle me
Filth
Rotten
Scum
Deadweight
I can't see clearly anymore
But am I better than the day before?
Am I better?
I will get better I swear
I can't see clearly anymore
But am I better than the day before?

Leech
02:35

Cut from your old ways
You are still sick, cesspool
of self indulgence
Consumed by self importance
You crossed the line
You’ll be dead to rights
Cuz we’ll find you, yeah we'll find you
There is no safe place to hide
Here in the spotlight
I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t believe the lies
Do you feel like a man
I’ll put you six feet under
You’ll be mistaken
and hopefully god forsaken
There will be no place
for you to rest your head
Condemned
Your crimes
Are nothing short of putrid
Condemned
Your life’s a facade, abusive
As the years go by
You’re still dead to rights
As you wither
Your mark won't fade
Leech, can’t you see
There's a plague in this life we lead
They try to silence everything and then
Caught between their lies
We'll cut the rope that held them up so high
They can't be
They can't be trusted
No
And there you stand motherfucker
With your feet on solid ground
Void of all remorse
We won’t sit out your trial
We’ll break the cycle
You rely upon
We’ll cut you out
Like the cancer you are
You’ll be mistaken
And hopefully god forsaken
There will be no place
For you to rest

Seasons

Cold
Up to the light
Renew
Regain my sight
Breathe
My lungs fill up
Sunlight
This is enough
The leaves fall down
And autumn casts its
Shadow
The days grow short
While my hands wither
This winter
Won’t end
The spring will
Never come
Warmth is a
Facade
Your time on earth
Is done
New growth
For all the days I spent
Alone in the cold dirt
For all the countless nights
I swore I would die
When it seemed as if the
Sun disappeared
I looked in my own eyes,
My grace came from the inside
My grace came from the inside
I swear to god
I’ll take this
With me
To my death bed
I must forgive
I can’t forget
Cause this is
Who I am
I wouldn’t
Be here
If you didn’t
Destroy me
I couldn’t
See this clear
Til you
Destroyed me
You cut me out
Like I'm nothing
Left me for dead
Now I'm out of your head
But you can't kill me
So easy
The spring will come
And my roots will grow deep
I see your image at night
Your face is burnt into my eyes
Your words as stars in the night sky
Slowly eating me up from the inside.
Winter is dead I survived, I survived
Feet in the dirt, but my eyes in the sky
The sun every day, it will rise, it will rise
I'll live this life with my eyes to the sky

Wounded
02:39
|
|||
Staring at myself in the mirror
Knuckles bleeding
Irrational anger and fear
Not again, not again
Broken and realizing
I have lied to myself
I can't deny that I shut down to heal
I refuse to feel
Calloused heart
I've fallen apart
Leave me
Alone
Reconstruct my view of love
I'm in repair
Endure, overcome
Wounded
But I'm not worthless
Changing, this disease, my weakness
Sick and cold
Brittle, spineless, weak
I won't let these lies control
I won't let my wounds control me

Suffer
02:36
|

Waking up
Next to suicide notes
Collapsed on tile
Someone pull me up
Fluorescent lights
And uncomfortable silence
This is not how I envisioned
My perfect asylum
Let the water over my face
Muster composure so that I can escape
The things that I have seen cannot be reversed
This is my burden; this is my curse
I'm too far gone
Just keep it together
Dear God spare me
Please don't let me wither
These days stretch on
Cut deeper and deeper
Reopened wounds
I keep getting weaker
Weak bones
Weak bones, weak will
Condemned to suffering
Blinded by scathing loss
Don't test me, you know nothing
You know nothing
You know nothing
This pain is mine
Deep in my spine
You know nothing
You know nothing
I tried, I tried
Hell is inside
You know nothing of hell
(Nothing of hell)
You know nothing of hell
You know nothing of hell
(nothing of hell)
You know nothing of hell

Hypocrite
03:01
|
|||
I’m done talking
Screaming words I don’t want to hear
This is the life that I’m living
No more complacent years
But now the cord’s cut
I can’t rest my head
There’s a price to pay
When you are a
Hypocrite
Deadbeat
Parasite
Self forsaken leech
I’ve forgotten
Where I’m supposed to be
The bigger picture
What life meant for me
I remember
What I left for dead
When I close my eyes
The image burned inside my head
This isn’t who I am
This isn’t how I will be
This isn’t how I will end
As a
As a
Sycophantic rat
Lower than dirt
I’ve killed the old me
Turned to dust
Soon forgotten
I won’t be forlorn
With my eyes towards the stars
And my feet pointed North
With the wind at my back
There’s no more back and forth
This time won’t be the same
I’m promising myself
This time won’t be the same
I’m promising myself
I am free
Past is the past
My eyes towards the sky and the stars
I’m coming home I’m coming home
The wind blowing at my back
It won’t be long, It won’t be long

Guilt
01:02
|
|||
There's nothing more for you here
Remember this time last year?
We all want that back,
We all want you back
And I walk on
This can't continue
I'm sorry my friend
but times run out
Confined
To the cell that I live in
Dead eyes
trapped here in this house
Confined
Still chained and shackled
Dead eyes
Never my turn to hope
But I am still right here,
You haven't beat me down
Now that you have gone I won't eat this guilt
Remember this time last year? I don't want that back
I'm torn you are gone but I own my life
Confined
No longer your fool
Dead eyes
There's still light in these eyes
Confined
Your death cannot stop me
Dead eyes
I'll miss the time that we had

Conjuncture
02:41
|
|||
Enslaved routine
Nervous eyes and muffled screams
Box my head in
Dead in a sense
When will my wounds be healed?
Never it seems
God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?
God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?
I was so certain, but now I'm alone
I'm alone
All alone
I'm not a victim
I need no crutches
I'm tearing out the sequence
Cycles
No passive structures
Complete control
I'm ripping out routine
At the seams
I am the architect
Of my future
Of my dreams
Take the hand that feeds you
All of your poison
To your grave
I will burn these structures
Fear no longer
Controls my mind
My word my bond
I'll set these fires
God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?
I was so certain, but now I'm alone
I'll take this life
And all this pain
I'll take this life
There is no fate
I'll take this life
With no remorse
I'll take this life
Six feet under
I'm not a victim

Ghosts
03:11
|
|||
I am not the same
I used to be happy
What will I become?
If I lose my hold?
Caught in a web of my design
Home is the farthest it could be
Nails bite into my thighs
And I draw blood
Teeth clenched and eyes closed
Hide from the pain
Entombed by my thoughts
I am my enemy
No release is found
I am estranged
This stress is brand new
Please end this
Why is what I love
A personal hell?
I am not the same
I used to be happy
What will I become?
If I lose my hold?
What will I have?
Dead home
And an empty soul
How many years have I wasted
How many nights?
How many cold stares earned from you to live my life?
And now it's come to the point
Where you were right and I'm alone in this plight
I've never felt more isolated
It's a bitter taste
Developed anxiety I just can't place
Your ghost haunts me wherever I walk
I guess I was just never a bite and always all talk

Discgraced
02:59
|
|||
I am the pride
Staring at your insights
I hide in words that you scream
You can't erase me
These words that you speak
Come from a place that's tainted
Consumed by grief
By love, by anything
Responsibility to your friends, to your family
Forgotten
You left it out
Their side to the story
You used their life for personal gain
They will not be broken
By another word you speak
Condemned by your actions
You must step back and see
Dishonored, disgraced
But now
There's a pit where a heart once was
And does your god know mine?
I am the shadow
Behind every photograph
Behind your eyes
In between every line
I must be carried
I'm the burden you can never shake
And will I lose my hold
If you can't let me go?
