Filth
01:14
|

filth,
surrounding me,
everywhere I turn,
as far as the eye can see,
the world won't stop turning,
the wick of life is burning,
I'm sick to death of yearning,
fingers up to learning
fuck
filth
the apple never falls far from the tree,
cursed to rot in the era,
of the machine

Ambitionless

Yeah
I have this question,
what am I doing with my life?
can't seem to picture a way out,
just wasting my time
am I defeated
by becoming content,
stuck at a crossroad
this can't be as good as it gets
disappointing thoughts,
running through my head,
wasting my time,
getting fucked with my friends,
I tell myself,
I'll try harder next week
to break the cycle
before it repeats,
Here I go again,
catatonic,
a state I can't comprehend
when will this ever end?
I should be something more,
than a drunken mess upon the floor
oh broken compass guide me,
ambitionless, please find me
someone, re-define me
my head,
feels like it's splitting ear to ear,
I feel with every relapse,
I'm getting worse
but I can't help myself,
this substance is a curse
I'll keep doing this anyway,
too far gone in this direction
I didn't mean to live this way,
life without ambition
poison consume my mind,
wash away my conscience and make me blind
poison consume my mind,
make me numb, so I can live with who I've become
disappointing thoughts,
running through my head,
wasting my time,
getting fucked with my friends,
I tell myself,
I'll try harder next week
to break the cycle
before it repeats,
Here I go again,
catatonic,
a state I can't comprehend
when will this ever end?
I should be something more,
than a drunken mess upon the floor
oh broken compass guide me,
ambitionless, please find me
someone, re-define me

I Wont Be The Same
03:51
|

it's me vs myself,
I've given up on giving in,
fight through this hell,
break the chains we linked within.
get on your feet,
this isn't the end,
keep your eyes to the sky,
see the light again.
you cant defeat me
I've made it on my own
you cant defeat me
my will is set in stone
try to persuade me
from the path I've always known
my mind plays tricks on me
don't let those thoughts take hold
your words are hollow lies,
don't waste your breath
I fought my out of the valley
from the shadow of death
spent to long looking down
told myself I can't be saved
struck with thoughts of what I'm not
couldn't see beyond self hate
I'm human too
I've made mistakes
burnt bridges in my past
the choices I made brought me here today
not the shadow that I cast
don't give up, its not the end
you'll see the light again
don't give up, we'll make it through
only you can fight for you
I wont be the same
inside I have changed
spent to long looking down
told myself I can't be saved
struck with thoughts of what I'm not
couldn't see beyond self hate
I'm human too
I've made mistakes
burnt bridges in my past
but the choices I made brought me here today
not the shadow that I cast
Don't give up, its not the end
you'll see the light again
don't give up, we'll make it through
only you can fight for you

Heartstrung

(whispered)
remove your meaningless lies,
from behind my shrouded eyes,
because when I finally see
you'll wish you never met me
remove your meaningless lies,
from behind my shrouded eyes,
because when I finally see
you'll wish you never met me
Cold hands,
a vice-like grip around my throat,
I was your puppet,
I danced to the song of your cruel lies,
whispered words,
those promises,
that you had made to me,
now mean nothing,
cast aside our foolish hopes and dreams.
Let me go,
I can't take this anymore
my chest is going to explode,
with the stress that comes from you,
being a part of me,
set me free,
release my heart strings
you've played your final piece.
I can't,
watch you set the world on fire
these hearts you take
you can't deny are weighing you down
fall to the ground
burdened by the weight of such
love so false weighs twice as much
how can you carry on
(whispered)
remove your meaningless lies,
from behind my shrouded eyes,
because when I finally see
you'll wish you never met me
remove your meaningless lies,
from behind my shrouded eyes,
because when I finally see
you'll wish you never met me
I can't,
watch you set the world on fire
these hearts you take
you can't deny are weighing you down
fall to the ground
burdened by the weight of such
love so false weighs twice as much
how can you carry on

Tin Soldier
04:21

Push me,
call me names,
sink your teeth into my pride,
I've never felt so low,
I've never felt less alive,
how many days,
have I endured your filth?
No, longer, will, I, hide.
Listen here,
I won't be beaten by, the likes, of you,
courage pulls me through,
and everyday, you torment my life,
will be a day hell, calls louder for you,
Stand up for yourself,
don't ever back down,
own your right to live true,
don't let their words get to you,
Stand for yourself,
never back down,
live your life true,
don't let their words get to you,
Soldier stand on your leg with pride,
you may be less to the eye,
but you're more on the inside,
when you strike at me with hateful words,
watch me smile,
My life is a voyage,
your words are an ocean,
you will NOT
BRING
me DOWN,
I am the brave tin soldier,
I will never drown.
The rats are plenty,
fortune failed the minority,
when this crowded room,
became so empty,
we'll never see eye to eye,
because we're programmed, to be
BLIND
A climb I'll regret,
a length of escape,
a note on my bed,
sorry too late
Soldier stand on your leg with pride,
you may be less to the eye,
but you're more on the inside,
when you strike at me with hateful words,
watch me smile,
because I know you're not worth my time,
My life is a voyage,
your words are an ocean,
you will not bring me down,
I am the brave tin soldier,
I will never drown.

Shallow Grave
04:17
|
|||
Too many times you've looked me dead in the eye and fucking lied
My disbelief,
you disregard your loyalty
your ability to lie straight through your teeth
now I second guess
what our friendship meant
turning your back on me is something I'll make you regret
you won't have me on my knees
begging or pleading or eyes full of tears,
i'll unleash, this curse on the wind,
how could you do this to someone
you call friend
you won't be saved
just another shallow grave
you won't be saved
i'll dig your fucking grave
you won't be saved
I'll dig your grave
you wont be saved
i'll dig your fucking grave
As you gasp for air
your final breath
will be filled with regret
filled with regret
you try to cut me,
but I don't bleed
this noose you put on me,
I don't struggle to breathe
i'm not losing sleep,
or loosing my mind
I buried you,
now I'll leave you behind
now I'm left here,
with knives in my spine
you were my friend,
how could I've been so blind,
nothing more than a mirage,
nothing less than a facade
nothing less than a facade
