Love Sick 00:53
You are right, this night will leave me cold My errors erase while this plot unfolds You know all these vices were made to hold The substance is in control When it’s love sick I will be sick
2.
Cut Loose 03:30
Can’t understand the beast inside me His claws are out, he’s ready for a night on the town Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war Tapped to his vein he was born this way He’s on a different level now he’s dancing with the devil When his beating heart lays awake It’s my own mind that’s racing Those drugs will always get the best of me He’s testing fate to find out what he can take He will take everything I am watching through the cage I left him in I’m expecting nothing good from him I am watching through the cage I left him in Not expecting he’d disappear like smoke in the wind Is it better to stay strong when you were wrong? Is it better that he is gone when you’ve known all along? ‘Cause unclear opinions stand for indecisions You might as well run and hide When his beating heart lays awake It’s my own mind that’s racing Those drugs will always get the best of me He’s testing fate to find out what he can take He will take everything Am I the one who set him loose? I wish I knew what I know now That moderation is not my hanging noose I wish I knew what I know now Instead of figuring it out I got caught staring in the clouds It feels so incredible and I’ve come to terms With the addict within himself I wish I knew what I know now Many faces to look upon The show must go on

Mule 03:32
I’m feeling wasted It’s 4 o’clock I can’t stop and sleep I’m living with the dirty secrets you told me This day is yours, you’re in it son Drive the car and hide the gun It’s going to take more then a white lie to commit this crime Falling to pieces before it’s my turn Am I missing any details or leaving any trails to burn? Oh no, they’ve found the spot It’s where I hid the evidence Fear crawls beneath my skin My body’s shaking with every word that is said to me All the voices in my head are deafening I’m sweating bullets through the barrel shouting out my name And the crosshairs are burning through me Cunning and mischief are barely tools at all I’m running out of useful ways to bide my time My time is running out I’d rather die then waste my life I won’t be taken a prisoner tonight If I haven’t made mistakes There should be nothing left to fake I’ll seal my fate, the choice that I make When consequences weigh so heavy Eyes up, too late, foot off of the brake Now don’t look back, they’re gone, merge on the interstate I am the outlaw I am the problem Direct me to the end of the road My tank is running low Please make it to the exit point Silent peace is waiting for me on the other side I’m digesting the moments that brought me here Careful choices, I’ll never make it out of the woods Looking over my cold shoulder Makes me wonder if I ever could

Valley Girls 02:48
A textbook suspicion Here are the tampered records They’re telling inconsistent fantasies These people are bullshit Malicious and ambitious caregivers forming so many ploys They are not the saviors They bite off and chew till there’s nothing more Consuming weaknesses straight to their rotten fucking core Satisfied on the inside Instead of feeling the weight of the guilt They just simply bask in its filth Mountains couldn’t stand in the way of getting attention they need Mountains couldn’t stand in the way of reaching for their peak They’re missing all the essential pieces from the human condition Their strongest of habits create the cycle A never-ending broken record stuck on repeat Loosen this grip on me I’ll draw first blood it’s easy You know the price they pay When they feed off sympathy Afraid and weary to tread amongst the dead
5.
Delta 03:04
Covering the tracks on this trail Leaving no clues left behind Questioning the direction I’m in What can I fucking do to change this time When failure’s not an option? Making this first move, it will be short and terse I inherit that gift; it was my father’s curse I’ll be the first one in line receiving death’s sweet kiss When sinking to the bottom is easier with concrete fists This weight is the only thing that can bring me down I’ve watched the village burn right to the ground Give me a chance or use me for parts ‘Cause lately my suspicions are leaving And I don’t know where to start Please, can you help me? I can’t continue like this I would do anything to turn this around I might be broken to pieces But with these shards of glass I’ll cut you out just to rid the diseases I’ll cut you out, just give me a reason
6.
Backbone 03:07
Walking into frame I’m always occupied with logic and questioning Like, what is the real reason we feel the need to linger On things that don’t concern our nature We treat ourselves as victims; Compare ourselves to others There will be no funerals Go from confessions to coffins Looking from the outside in, the plates are always set The smiling family is feasting This goddamn jealousy, it lingers in my heart It’s creeping its way up, tearing me apart All I wanted was to be the model son Now, time slip away When I’d rather drink the bottle until it’s done There will be no funerals Go from confessions to coffins There’s a difference between you and I Getting yourself caught up in the lie Stay in your own lane and don’t get involved Don’t pretend you’ve been through it all There’s a difference between you and I We don’t exactly see eye to eye When none of it fucking matters
7.
My head is haunted with the ghost of you But I can’t give it a home There’s nothing left for me to let you do You cleaned the meat from my bones Now there's a hole in my heart the size of a bottle And I’m filling the void I’ve been following this breadcrumb trail Searching for a lost cause Locked jaw, lost ‘cause I’ve been led astray I dragged my body over so many hills And all I brought back was the dirt underneath my fingernails Along the way, I found myself But I lost my mind One day you’ll hear my voice vibrating through the streetlights With a chill down your back but a warmth in your chest Stinging through each short, cold breath You’ll hear the words that I said when I knew you the best Screaming, “Sometimes you’re braver then the rest” To have heart is a frame of mind With your eyes to the ground and your head in the clouds And cold air on your arms I hope you'll think of me the way I think of you And it’ll keep you safe from harm To have heart is a frame of mind
8.
I am wide-awake I can never sleep at night Remembering the faces that still haunt my sight So I’m looking in reflective pools; I see nothing Ready to move; get past the gate Bury the old ways Check the pulse of the bleeding saint No longer breathing The water keeps on rushing It leaves salt in the wake This path is leading us to an end Your guilty following eyes They’re much more then I can take Living before the battery dies Stranded Anything to feel that touch Honestly, you can poison me I know you will give me everything You know it’s what I wanted It seems to me it’s what I’ll get When those steady hands grab my collared neck They are unbearably cold Turns out the bridges you burn Just light the road back home I'm tired of starting fires But nothing else can keep me warm, baby Turns out the witches you burn Are the ghosts that haunt your home I'm tired of starting fires Need something else to keep me warm The water keeps on rushing It leaves salt in the wake This path is leading us to an end Your guilty following eyes They’re much more then I can take Living before the battery dies Stranded

Desperate 01:30
Once, I got a novel It was gifted from a desperate man He lost sight on what was real Preaching words, teach me how to feel Buried below Everyone’s faithless And if you can agree If God’s listening he must know In spite of everything we still sow We’re desperate, is that so wrong? We’re desperate We’d burn it down using gasoline as a tool Doing anything that we want It’s a shame you’ve forgotten the fuel We’re desperate, is that so wrong? We’re desperate I’ve got nothing left Hiding behind my tattered white flags I’ve got nothing left Can’t you see I would do anything? My eyes are open wide ‘Cause desperation leaves me blind
10.
I hear those voices This is not a simple circumstance Feel the eyes glaring Fixed on the forsaken son Standing at the alter They wont stop staring Does your grim religion Bring on new reasons That help incite the fearful All on the word of an old book? Does it induce visions And force decisions In spite of how you feel? We’re all scared inside Feeling the needle dig around Next time you pressure me I’ll bury your hope in the ground Drown all your sorrows Death to the morals ‘Cause we are the faithless ones Does your cause reveal meaning Behind the words you’ll preach to your masses? “It’s for your own good” That’s what you said to me Control these voices in my head Save me
11.
Lingchi 03:13
I’ve seen so many broken clocks That time’s a thief when living is not When this city sleeps I will dine alone Unlike the sheep casting the first stone Into the sea, into the unknown Taking that leap from the spot it was thrown It’s making an impact from this height The faster it falls moving a way from the light I can’t quite come to terms with All of the wasted time I spent Worrying about how I was used Now with a little perspective I’m taking back what’s mine Now with a little perspective I’m walking along the fine line You knew what you did giving out that loan My mother, she wept when she hung up the phone They stole it from you saying nothing’s my own Keeping secrets from me It was easy to see, the clues were all there Unknown to them were the burdens he bares Finding some peace in the thoughts and the prayers Giving everything to do what they said I’m still holding on to the bullshit I was fed Moving past the pain that was holding me back Moving past the pain, the pain I can’t erase Burn the bright lights; my guilty conscious at the curb I’m infected with the fever It had to be this way I’m infected with the fever Sickening

Via Dolorosa 04:01
I captured the perfect picture; it will always be on display Commemorating a time when you said it would be okay The morning sunrise glow against my face As the horizon is washed away To shed this weight those walls barricading must be torn down It’s crystal clear When I am broken, truly broken Do I cease to exist at this time and place with my conscious state of mind? Life, death, love “I was ripped from my reality And transported through a portal Into another dimension Transcending time and space Filled with sublime impossibilities I was one with the universe I was everything and nothing And I left who I was behind Then, I came to realize what actually happened I experienced death And she was immaculate” We’re children playing our games that we cannot win Can you adjust so anxiety won’t strangle you in the dark? When the night is darkest you were right We use candlelight to illuminate the pages So we may write the wrongs from the rights When these simple sorrows are the ones that are never told Through each struggle we will struggle When these simple sorrows are the ones that are never told With each other we become another Life, death, love
