There is no other way We start over today I am right here Tucked out of sight and out of mind Behind these walls, on stolen time I am right here Kept from my life Lost everything while trapped inside There is no fix for this Tear them down to start again I am right here Tucked out of sight and out of mind Behind these walls, on stolen time I am right here Kept from my life Lost everything while trapped inside Sent out to the streets Murderers armed too the teeth Intimidate in uniform Profiling for fresh meat We have to drain this swamp Otherwise this will never stop We'll never get back what we lost Don't call the fucking cops The cycle just repeats The shepherd tends to his sheep I am right here Tucked out of sight and out of mind Behind these walls, on stolen time I am right here Kept from my life Lost everything while trapped inside We're all right here in this same life Losing everything while trapped inside
2.
When I wake up, it still sees me I feel it following me around I can't break it, I won't make it And there's never time to slow this down When I wake up, I see it waiting Any chance to knock me off my feet Wish I could end this, I'll never fix it A suicide on repeat Go away each time I need to, to get through Go away each night I slip away I built a smile, to buy my way back in Victor of this war of attrition You will bleed the same as me We are lost together I know I am My favorite fucking lie, you get another try Life or death both come easy, giving up the watchful eye Fully loaded to burn out, what's stopping your escape Duck out on obligation, time to say your good bye The stars climb through the darkness creeping as I am leaving The light tangled up above, I hope that I'm still breathing
3.
I wanna live it like there's no tomorrow, nothing to follow Illusion of control is chipped away with every end and every passing Losing everything will happen I've given up, on any answers now Always building back up, to watch it all come down Do what a normal person does What is a happy person supposed to believe The last time I open my eyes I want to be with anyone but me I wanna live it like there's no tomorrow Nothing to stop and nothing to follow Avoiding regret when everything's hollow Giving up on faith, or any answers now Trying to build back up, to watch it all come down Do what a normal person does What is a happy person supposed to believe The last time I open my eyes I want to be with anyone but me What we leave behind untouched What we leave behind undone I wanna know what you were thinking Were you alone or were you singing
4.
Born in a cage on concrete floors you'll never see her again The first light that you see will be the last room that you'll ever know Waking up today thinking it's my last Claw to the top try to breathe in a sea of trash Ripped from my feet and beaten will I bled Not worth the bullet so a boot is used to crush my head Fuck you you hypocrite Until the day you quit Don't think the blood's not on your hands For nothing this cycle it won't stop This nightmare should not be ignored it should be taught Everything is obsolete so fast It's easier to ignore the path We have to make tough choices just to survive each and every day It seems to straightforward to me It's not some far off falling tree Front and center it's all I see It's not some far off falling tree
5.
Every day I see faces of the deceased The past still haunts me A clouded history painted before me Colors that still bleed We all play our part Blackens my soul to know that I help every day institutionalize And benefit while I decry Naïveté threatens all of our lives Stop and listen closely Turn on any TV Built into everything In school it's what we're learning White washing keeps it turning The victor's rewording It never ends We do as we are asigned Into a single file line Our hands are bound behind Turn on each other and don't question the design We all play our part Blackens my soul to know that I help every day institutionalize And benefit while I decry Naïveté is a coward's disguise

Boxes 02:58
Skyscrapers always fall so build a wall Water has the first floor but we ignore I'm running out of food No money to move Isolated surrounded No power in weeks Nothing to drink Desperation breeds motive A past fiction Some twisted belief Reality from a lost dream Your property placed above me To live like kings while I bleed Put profits in your pockets Product intentionally toxic Rebuild the world in you image Tailor existence for the privileged You think you're being attacked You gauge into the black Your practice comes back to haunt you You've really left no choice Don't mean to disappoint Your things won't stop this from ending A past fiction Some twisted belief Reality from a lost dream Your property placed above me To live like kings while I bleed Put profits in your pockets Product intentionally toxic Rebuild the world in you image Tailor existence for the privileged Bloodletting labor from the hungry Vampires feeding on money Don't wanna be what's expected of me but face to face with the reaper I will save my family Through the camera paint us as fucking animals And open your doors to me Free to the community

The moon climbs pulling at this city A manufactured pretense with me So where the fuck does this all end Another rise and fall begins You think you've got this figured out Until it wins again Silently suffocate Underneath my skin I'm giving up my front today So I can try to breathe I can't make it all work Or force it underneath I can't let go, remove myself from this Take everything you want, everything I miss A face I built from scratch, to buy some time Just looking for a pass, relieved of my crimes You think you've got this figured out Until it wins again Silently suffocate Underneath my skin I'm giving up this front today So I can try to breathe I can't make it all work Or force it underneath Run away far from everyone but it finds you It always finds me Each time I tell myself that this is the last time This won't ever fulfill A fight you were born to lose Underneath the falling moon Keep a straight face Internalized rampage Keep a straight face Internalize another day So where is this supposed to end Protect myself when I pretend I fell into this maybe I can can climb It feels like I am slowly running out of time
8.
You'll never know what is right Until you know what is wrong Casualties lining my wake Now that I am an outlaw I had no choice but to shoot I put the knife in the back Poisoned our last cocktail Rode out of town dressed in black I bleed every day from what these hands have done I'm haunted by the life I took from someone I watch the moon turning red with blood on my hands The nightmare took over my life I stood over two bodies ripped from me I'll never be the same Living a life on the run I stopped breathing once before I bled out across the floor Trying to take some control Of a life lost in the war I did again each day from what these hands have done I'm haunted by the life I could have begun Giving up on being ok Nothing feels the same Giving up on being ok Nothing will ever be the same
9.
Put it on mute Hate every fucking chord Just turn it off Ignore every word The words remain even when the meaning's change Etched in stone so I don't forget I'm not ready yet Everything comes to an end We're all lost and condemned Everything will always end No one will ever win Asleep at the wheel Staying numb so I don't have to feel Drifting afraid of another crash Passing me by in a flash Just shut me out Not another fucking breath Don't worry any more Silence until death The words remain even when the meaning's change Etched in stone so I don't forget I'm not ready yet Everything comes to an end We're all lost and condemned Everything will always end No one will ever win Asleep at the wheel Staying numb so I don't have to feel Drifting afraid of another crash Passing me by in a flash Obvious critiques Another round nothing unique Another cut only skin deep For nothing I bleed Is it worth it Is it worth anything at all Let it all just burn down to the ground The fire burns so we can build a new sound
10.
Would you fuck me in a hotel room Maybe in your car I need money for food Look down your turned up nose I don't fucking care I'll take anything you have that you can spare Do you need some coffee wanna take a punch Work with a hammer or pick up fucking lunch Every single night stuck behind the wheel Doing everything I can not to steal I'd rather be a thief than to die in the streets Everything I can for a meal Can't face another day when the night brings the pain Strip away the light to rewrite all that remains I know her real name She danced just for me this nobody Learn to play the game Behind the bars we'll always be (Forever be) Work a double or suckle from the teet On your feet or on a spreadsheet There's no choice we all have to sell our soul Living life at the bottom of a hole Check to check the final notice heats my room The cars impounded and I need some money soon Every single night hurt myself to feel Doing everything I can not to steal. Six feet under ground we keep spinning together trapped no ending Clawing flesh and ripping at hair We are all running out of air
11.
Something always just kinda looks off It works its way down into my walk It's being sick without knowing what to do It's being sick without anything to prove Every day you wake up beside me, defining, confining It's real, electric, dysphoria that builds It waves it floods into my empulse Sometimes I feel like I walk the walk Most of the time it feels like it just won't stop It's being uncomfortable in your own skin Extra weight pushing out from within Don't want a perfect face A job or my own place No one for me to chase Nothing's lost when nothing's gained I don't need anything from you I don't give a fuck what you do Never wanted more than I knew I don't need anything from you Lie to myself, so I can breath Or maybe blind, so I can see It never stops, the world you replace Passing me by, while I just remain

Plastic Life 03:07
She died sitting next to me Everything that she used to be I threw the body out into the sea A broken promise now guides me Off with the head of the fucking queen Regicide keeps me living lean I buried myself that same fucking day everything was taken away A couch to borrow a night's sleep Living in a car on the street Everything I own packed in these seats This plastic life There's nothing at the bottom Just room to keep on falling I looked the other way while my life passed I guess I have to thank the supporting cast It's always bittersweet, leveled by loss Tearing through all you know Burn it all cost I buried myself that day Watching it all burn away She died sitting next to me everything that we used to be I dumped the bodies out into the sea Trying to find some relief
13.
The arrogance to think anyone give's a fuck but me Anyone else but me, anyone but me Don't cry for me I'm already dead Watching it all rise in the smoke by firelight we fled We've come this far and sold our names But every dream I once saw is lost forever to the flames I've tried to hide, run from who I am Want to find reason, validate this fallen plan This is the last night, the last time I will sing this song Find another reason why we could never belong Keep toward the lights, it grows before your eyes You've almost reached the walls, where you will come to die There's nothing there for me, I've always wanted to see To feel something other than regret, to feel something real from you In your dreams you will die Ripped apart right in front of your eyes Torn apart while you burn alive
14.
A murderer, a rifle Shoot from above with a bible And criminals, state sanctioned Both hiding behind a false shield Isolated it twists to stay concealed There is no other way predators prey Something we will udno but start with the blue Clutch to what you feed your delusion The false sense of your safety falls away Trained for war and conditioned to be prejudiced so we all feel safe I feel the weight when they break what they are supposed to maintain The rights they take in the name keeping the power in place An echo chamber of just one then add a gun The good guy is proven untrue so it's just you It seems like you just might be a little scared
15.
They Live 02:45
Follow the leader it feels safe You don't want to make a mistake Hiding behind a safe distance Easier to ignore than stop and resist Hiding behind a quiet remiss You just don't want to offend but it maintains that status quo you know, comfort of the same Blind and oblivious, the violence echoes from idle hands Stick to your side and know your place Devotion until time to replace Hiding behind safe space you put in place Hiding behind false claims that nothing's wrong Leave it alone Easy to miss and it is hard to see you've won the war without doing a thing Running out of time we are dying Backs against the wall We keep fighting Fuck the privileged just biting their tongue Fuck the narcissist hiding behind beliefs ingrained from when they were young, destined to repeat Fuck the pacifist staying out of the fight Fuck the many screaming hate into the night Marching with torches in the dark down your street tonight
16.
This cemetary that I brave This razorblade is the grave Tie me down, I don't want to move Watch me drown in sedation and dilute From deep below, my will to take Guided true north taking a break Falling into this Fortunate Paradise It's better to serve in hell than to have never lived and died I remember when I first fell I could no longer lie This bottle is empty My stomache is not One pill for me Two pills to be forgot Bloodlet to the last drop The pain will fade slow drip until it goes away In a new life I embrace this fallen state Grab a razor fix the mistake This cemetary before me Inherited at infancy Tie me up, this time I want to feel A blackened face, attempting to conceal From deep below, my will to take Guided true north taking a break Falling into this Fortunate Paradise It's better to serve in hell than to have never lived and died I remember when I first fell I could no longer lie This bottle is empty My stomache is not One pill for me Two pills to be forgot Bloodlet to the last drop The pain will fade slow drip until it goes away In a new life I embrace this fallen state Grab a razor fix the mistake A smile on my face as my sentence is read Under the lake of fire walking among the dead I've been removed for far too long finding it harder to pretend to be strong Harder to hid that there is something wrong it always tags along Here alone is where this came to be Here alone it's all I've come to see You've always found your way back to me, to me This is a life sentence for me, for me
