When We Don't Exist - 2011

-Learn Your Place-

[Deluxe Edition Track]

Don't give me false hope
This is the darkest that I've ever felt
I never asked so don't assume that I would need your help
Well I'll never fucking need it again

Now the devil's reaching up to me
I think I feel his hands around my neck
I've never felt this pain
I've never been here before

Convinced I'll never be the same
You've never lived in my mind
You can't decide what's fair
Now learn your place before I put you there

I know you're terrified to die, die
Not hard to see by the way you slowly life your life

I'm still content with everything that I continue to create for myself
You never needed to drag me through the hell
That you've been feeling inside
This is the place that we've been dying to find

These nights still drag me down
But you will learn your place when I climb out of this hell
If you've been dying inside
This is the place that we've been dying to find

These nights still drag me down
But I will find my faith when I climb out of this hell
I know I'll never forget
This is the place that I will always regret

Fuck all the faith I found
So far it's only let me down
I'm doing more with life than you can say for yourself
Fuck all the faith I found
So far it's only let me down

Patience is never enough
And all you ever do is complain and want for more

I'm still content with everything that I continue to create for myself
You never needed to drag me through the hell
That you've been feeling inside
This is the place that we've been dying to find

These nights still drag me down
But you will learn your place when I climb out of this hell
If you've been dying inside
This is the place that we've been dying to find

These nights still drag me down
But I will find my faith when I climb out of this hell
I know I'll never forget
This is the place that I will always regret

Save me from hell

-Shapeshifter-

[Deluxe Edition Track]

I saw the change in your eyes
You're someone else
Must be hard to live with yourself
Just know that we're not wishing you well
Why even put up a fight?
It must be hard to know that
Life was really never on your side

They tried to tell me how to live
I never bought their bullshit
I watched them pulling you in
I'll draw the line
You crossed it
They tried to tell me how to live
But I was smart enough
To make the choices I did
And have the life that I'd want

How does it feel to see
The things you want in front of me?
How does it feel to see
The things you want in my hands?

Give up, you can't hang
So sad to say
Your emotions get in the way
What a fucking waste
We're so sick of all the shit you say
Just shut up
You run your fucking mouth too much
You won't amount to much
So pathetic
Jealously will kill you if you let it

I saw the change in your eyes
You're someone else
Must be hard to live with yourself
Just know that we're not wishing you well
Why even put up a fight
It must be hard to know
Life was never really ever on your side

They tried to tell me how to live
I never bought their bullshit
I watched them pulling you in
I'll draw the line
You crossed it

They tried to tell me how to live
But I was strong enough to make my own decisions

This is the last time that you will jump down
My throat about what I've done wrong
I think that you should know
We can do this without you
We're better off without you

I won't be the one to save you
From the failure that consumes your life
I won't be the one to save you
I was never on your side

We can do this without you
We're better off without you

-The Worst In Me-

How can you live with your life
Knowing all this time/that I was right
You finally don't belong
So if we're done here
I think you should bit your tongue
I'm sick of watching you come undone
How can you blame me for the mistakes you made?
I swear I've been here before
And you can't change if you were made that way
You saw the worst in me
And now I can't go back
And now I can't believe
You saw the worst in me
Cold hearts are never warm when you need them to be

I never wanted to be loved by anyone
It was never enough
I won't punish myself for this
These are the choices you've made, so deal with it

So if we're done here
I think you should bit your tongue
I'm sick of watching you come undone
How can you blame me for the mistakes you made?
I swear I've been here before
And you can't change if you were made that way
You saw the worst in me
And now I can't go back
And now I can't believe
You saw the worst in me
Cold hearts are never warm when you need them to be

I never wanted to be loved by anyone
It was never enough
I've got a cold heart
I'll watch you come undone

I never wanted to be loved by anyone
It was never enough
I've got a cold heart
I'll watch you come undone

-GNF-

[feat. Danny Leal of Upon A Burning Body]

How did it come to this?
A bitter taste is all I’m left with
I’m losing all of my patience

How did it come to this?
If I’m so wrong
Will you just let me know?
So I can move on and go

I just can’t bring myself
To care about you
You’re somebody else now
I’ll make it through to live another day
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
You don’t know what you have ‘til it’s gone

I don’t give a fuck
About the way you’re feeling
Your mind is dead and empty
There’s nothing I can do
Who will you be when the world gives up on you?

Who will you be when the world gives up on you?

And when there’s no one else to turn to
Don’t say I didn’t warn you

How did it come to this?
A bitter taste is all I’m left with
I’m losing all of my patience

How did it come to this?
If I’m so wrong
Will you just let me know?
So I can move on and go

I just can’t bring myself
To care about you
You’re somebody else now
I’ll make it through to live another day
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
You don’t know what you have ‘til it’s gone

You don’t know what you have ‘til it’s gone

I don’t give a fuck
About the way you’re feeling
Your mind is dead and empty
There’s nothing I can do
Who will you be when the world gives up on you?

I don’t give a fuck

-No Hope-

Where there's no hope
How can we make it alive
It's so separated and nothing's alright
We live our lives so lifelessly
It's so hard to exist and not to believe

But I'll die still wondering why
I tried to live my life to let you inside
But I'll die still wondering why
I ever let you into my life

We live our lives to feel like we belong
So we don't care when the good die young
And though there's nothing there
I can make it through
I'm sorry but I swear
I don't need you

We don't live our lives to feel fucking hopeless
But this time you made me hate myself
How did I let you in my mind
Get me out of this life
Just get me out alive

I won't come back again
So separated
Just get me out alive
So separated
When there's no hope
How can it change for the better
I'm at the bottom and I don't remember
The way that it was before
When there's nothing left here anymore

We live our lives to feel like we belong
So we don't care when the good die young
And though there's nothing there
I can make it through
I'm sorry but I swear

I don't need you here
I don't need you here

So we don't care when the good die young
And though there's nothing there
I can make it through
I'm sorry but I swear
I don't need you

We live our lives so lifelessly
There's no hope
We live our lives so lifelessly
There's no hope
How can we make it out alive
We'll never make it out alive

-You Won't Be Missed-

Don't speak my name like it belongs in your mouth
When everything's the same I just want something else
What makes you better than me?
If you still end up all by yourself
What makes you think that I want to help you now?
Don't come back to me
I'll show the world that I can finally breathe without these words
It's just a story that goes untold
It's just a feeling I've never known before
I won't forgive you for this
So just know that you won't be missed

So don't come back to me
Now that you're gone I can finally breathe again
And I won't forget you
These days here without you are the best that I've ever had
So don't come back to me
Now that you're gone I can finally breathe again
And I won't forgive you for this
So just know that you won't be missed

What makes you better than me?
Look at the person you've become
I know you never tried at all
Don't ever speak my name again
It won't be long until we reach the end
It's just a story that goes untold
But I can breathe and there's room for me to grow
I won't forgive you for this
So just know that you won't be missed

So don't come back to me
Now that you're gone I can finally breathe again
And I won't forget you
These days here without you are the best that I've ever had
So don't come back to me
Now that you're gone I can finally breathe again
And I won't forgive you for this
So just know that you won't be missed

(You won't be missed)
Don't speak my name again
I won't forgive you
I won't forget
(You won't be missed)
Don't speak my name again
It won't be long until we reach the end.

-Faithless Living-

So what's the point when
I look around and still feel nothing
Don't say you never saw misery coming
There's only so much I can take

Before my body begins to bend and break
Do you feel agony?
I don't know what I believe
Why does it matter to you?
When will you let me be?

I think I've lost my faith
And I know something in me changed

I've never had a chance to speak for myself
Why was I left here searching for something else?
I've never found a place that I could call my home
So far away from what I've known

So far away from what I've known

So what's the point when
I still don't know why I was put here in the first place
Why is this happening?
Something's changed
I've lost my faith
We were born into a life of hate
I hate everything about of the way you look at me
I hate everything you say and everything you believe

All of this pointless living
Began to ruin you
I hate the person you've become
And what you put me through

I've never had a chance to speak for myself
Why was I left here searching for something else?
I've never found a place that I could call my home
So far away from what I've known

I've never found a place that I could call my home
So far away from what I've known
I've never found a place that I could call my home
So far away from what I've known
I've never found a place that I could call my home

-Your Existence-

It will never exist,
No matter how many times that you
Play this out,
When will it fucking set in?
Your memories and everything about me,
Are slowly fading

Remember me as the one that got away,
And I'll remember you and everything,
That you will never change

This world is mine,
There's nothing for you,
So don't think that I,
Will find respect for you,
I was the one,
That you could turn to,
But this world is mine,
And there is nothing from you

You'll sort this out,
When you find it falling apart,
And after everything even my family,
Expected nothing from you

Expecting something from me,
Are these your memories?

Remember me as the one that got away,
And I'll remember you and everything,
That you could never be

Even my family

You took everything from me,
My life and my self esteem,
And now I'm taking you with me,
I'm taking this,
I am bringing you to the
Bottom of this

This world is mine,
And I am everything that you could ever love,
This world is mine

And I am everything

You took everything from me

My life and my fucking self esteem,
You took everything from me,
My life and my family

I will bury you and
Everything that you believe in.

-Trophy Child-

Your dreams, they slowly fade.
So uncommitted and it's such a waste.
You're left alone and afraid.
Now just confine your problems,
and figure out your own way to solve them.

I'm not sorry.

I'm not sorry for all the things I've said,
Go fuck yourself if you can't handle it.

Don't act like you're the one who's innocent.
Have you still learned nothing from this?
When will you face your shameful actions?

Don't act like you're the one that's better off.
I know that you planned this
To just let go it didn't matter the cost.

I'll never need the things you're offering.
You turned your back on me,
it's such a shame to see.

When we believed we all could live out our dreams,
we all stood up for something.
Now that you're left with nothing,
don't act like you're better off.
Cold conscious slowly fading,
you can't get back what you've lost.

Your conscious is slowly fading away, go face the path you've paved.

I watched your dreams die,
they fell in front of your eyes.
Watch your dreams die,
they fell in front of your eyes.

I'll never need the things you're offering.
You turned your back on me,
it's such a shame to see.

When we believed we all could live out our dreams,
we all stood up for something.
Now that you're left with nothing,
don't act like you're better off.
Cold conscious slowly fading,
you can't get back what you've lost.

Cold conscious slowly fading,
cold conscious slowly fading.
You can't get back what you've lost.

-My Own Grave-

Just stay away,
stuck in a hole that's too deep for me to climb out.
There's no where left for me to go,
so just leave me here on my own.

Stay away,
I've had enough and you've pushed me too far.
I know that I will be okay,
so just leave me here on my own.

My own grave!

When we don't exist,
then there's something to miss.
And when we don't remember,
well then how can they say forever?

My mind won't let me think clearly,
I'm too far gone and I don't know if you can hear me.Stay away,
I've had enough and you've pushed me too far.
I know that I will be okay,
so just leave me here on my own.

My mind won't let me think clearly,
I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to be.

We don't need to be reminded
of the nightmares that we can't forget.
They made me feel alive,
but lately I don't sleep at night.
We don't need to be reminded
of every tragic path we take,
that leads our lives into the grave.

Just stay away,
I've had enough and you've pushed me too far.
I know that I will be okay,
so just leave me here on my own.

My own grave!

When we don't exist,
you'll know you deserved it.
When we don't exist,
you'll know you deserved it.

My mind won't let me think clearly,
I'm too far gone and I don't know if you can hear me.
My mind won't let me think clearly,
I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to be.

We don't need to be reminded
of the nightmares that we can't forget.
They made me feel alive,
but lately I don't sleep at night.
We don't need to be reminded
of every tragic path we take,
that leads our lives into the grave.

I'll never close my eyes,
these nightmares still keep me alive through the night.
I'm losing my grip on live.

I'll never close my eyes,
these nightmares still keep me alive through the night.
I'm losing my grip on live.

-Something To Live For-

These thoughts tried to being me down,
the soulless pulling underneath the ground.
And darkness finally it sinks in.
This is the last thing I thought I'd see.
I've got some demons and they're all still a part of me.

I still have something to live for,
How can you tell me we're not in hell anymore?
I still have something to die for,
I won't let my past define me anymore.

What don't you understand?
We can't progress is you refuse to forget.
There's something we can learn from this.

But it's the last thing I've ever thought I'd see,
I've got some demons and they're all still a part of me.

I knew that it would not last,
you can't keep holding this above my head.
I've tried to better myself but you still never forget,
you can't keep holding this above my head.
I've tried to change but the darkness is all that's left.

I don't regret my past,
we all need something that we can learn from.
The things that help bring us back.
I don't regret my past,
you said this time it'd be different.
But I knew that it wouldn't last.

These thoughts still bring me down,
the soulless haunting everything around.
How long can they play this out
before I can't go on any longer?
Invite the darkness as it's growing stronger.

I still have something to live for.
I still have something to live for.

I still have something to live for,
I won't let my past define me anymore.

I knew that it would not last.

You can't keep holding this above my head,
I've tried to change but the darkness is all that's left.

I don't regret my past,
we all need something that we can learn from.
The things that help bring us back.
I don't regret my past,
you said this time it'd be different.
But I knew that it wouldn't last.

I don't regret my past,
we all need something that we can learn from.
The things that help bring us back.
I don't regret my past,
we all need something that we can learn from.
I knew it wouldn't last.

-Real Talk-

There's no one to call your own

You watched them bury me,
You are the darkness that spreads through my body,
You watched them bury me,
You are the darkness that's growing inside me

Now we can take some time,
I've been fine,
So just believe,
You're dead inside,
We're dead inside,
You were the death of me

I'll take some time,
if you've been fine did you believe,
that I can't take back what's mine,
I'll take two years and I'll

Take some time,
but I'll be fine,
I'll be there waiting for you,
Take some time,
I've been fine,
I've been here waiting for you

I'll sit and I'll watch this crumble, beneath your feet,
how many times until you remember everything,
No one to love, and you're so dead inside,
No one to love, so now I'm taking back what's mine

Your life won't change the world,
so stop pretending,
but take your time to come back to me,
we'll all be waiting,
I'll stay out but I won't follow you down,
I'll keep my feet in my grave,
Bury my head in the ground
In the ground,
You watched them bury me,
You are the one I regret,
they took my head and they buried me
In the ground,
You watched them lie to me,
You are the one I regret,
I'll take my head and I'll bury it

Now we can take some time
Take some fucking time,
but I've been fine,
I've been here waiting for you,

I'll take some time,
if you've been fine did you believe,
that I can't take back what's mine,
I'll take two years and I'll

Take some time
but I'll be fine,
I'll be there waiting for you,
Take some time,
I've been fine,
I've been here waiting for you

Take your time and wait,
we'll be here waiting for you,
Take your time and wait,
I've been here waiting for you.

-Praise Feeder-

So please help me cause I can't believe
Won't you help me cause I don't believe in this world

Lost my way back
It's safe to say I had this coming
Lost myself again
I've been searching but found nothing

Can't make me whole again
No matter what you try
You can't wash away my sins
Still feeling worthless
without something to give me purpose

How will I find my way out of this?
Why did I do this to myself again
They said the water would wash away all my sins

I never believe them
They can't escape from the changing seasons
Too numb to know what I've been feeling
Don't preach at me like I need your healing

Lost my way back
It's safe to say I had this coming
Lost myself again
I've been searching but found nothing
I can't find the truth in the lies
No matter how hard I try
So please help me cause I can't believe
Won't you help me cause I don't believe in this world

Can't make me new again
No matter what you think
I've given up on everything
Still feeling worthless
without something to give me purpose

Giving up on myself has never looked so inviting
Giving up on myself has never looked so inviting

How will I find my way out of this?
Why did I do this to myself again
They said the water would wash away all my sins

Lost my way back
It's safe to say I had this coming
Lost myself again
I've been searching but found nothing
I cant find the truth in the lies
No matter how hard I try
So please help me cause I can't believe
Won't you help me cause I don't believe in this world

They said the water would wash away all my sins
I never believe them

An Eye For An Eye - 2013

-You'll Burn
-

I will gladly bite the hand that feeds
Without a compromise
You drew the line at what was yours
and what's not mine
A snake sucking at the heart of this
More guilty than you'd like to admit

Rotting on the inside
Dividing myself in two
I saw the devil with my own eyes
and he fit the shape of you
A fucking coward
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
Cover your red hands
But you can't hide your poisoned mind

Say what you want
I've held these words for long
You're the bottom feeder
Someone that I'll never need here
Say what you want
Taken for granted all I've done
Infested by the thought
that you can never be wrong

I'll never trust anything
that you think that I might want
You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on

So sick so sick
Of trying to prove myself for worth
When you take what I deserve
So quick so quick
To point the blame then turn and run
You'll burn for all that you've done

Torn the hopes of everyone I love
and now it's your turn
You can get fucked

Say what you want
I've held these words for long
You're the bottom feeder
Someone that I'll never need here

I'll never trust anything
that you think that I might want
You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on

So sick so sick
Of trying to prove myself for worth
When you take what I deserve
So quick so quick
To point the blame then turn and run
You'll burn for all that you've done
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies

I will gladly bite the hand that feeds
when it doesn't feed enough
Cover your red
You're fucking guilty scum

-A Feast For Crows
-

What doesn't kill me
Feels more like a noose around my neck
I've overcome the fear of death
Hung my hopes with the same rope
That will lead me to my end

Hollow now without a sense of regret
Forgive but never fucking forget
Choices that we make define our shallow graves
Is this life worth the sacrifices made along the way?

Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye my empty silhouette
Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye a past that I regret

Forgive but never forget
Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye my empty silhouette
Forgive but never forget
Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye a past that I regret

I've overcome the fear of death
Hung my hopes with the same rope
That will lead me to my grave
Hung my hopes with the same rope
The past doesn't deserve to be saved

What doesn't kill me starts to separate
Break me apart piece by piece
What doesn't kill me starts to separate
Everything that I'll ever need

Hollow now without a sense of regret
Forgive but never fucking forget
Choices that we make define our shallow graves
Is this life worth the sacrifices made along the way?

Forgive but never forget
Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye my empty silhouette
Forgive but never forget
Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind
Goodbye a past that I regret

Forgive but never fucking forget

-The Common Misconception-

Realized there's nothing left but apathy
Can't seem to manufacture feelings the way you do so easily
Tired from trudging through the dark in hopes of brighter days
Sick of swallowing everything that I've wanted to say

It's hard to stomach the thought
of all the things you're told
When growing up means growing old
Becoming jaded from the life you lead
The common misconception that we're existing

Why do we cling to a voice that's always silent?
Too busy searching for the love we will never get
Why do we cling to a life that we'll never know?
Too busy searching for a better direction to go

Until it all fades away

Live and learn
As I move on that my heart gets colder
and the distant tides have turned
As I move forward the world gets colder

Live and Learn
As I go on that my heart gets colder
and the distant tides have turned
As I move forward the world gets colder
Until it all fades away

Bring this cold heart back to life

It's hard to stomach the thought
of all the things you're told
Can't fit the shape
Can't fit the mold
Becoming jaded from the life you lead
The common misconception that we're existing

Why do we cling to a hand that never reaches back for us?
Too busy searching for a meaning in what we've lost
Why do we cling to the life that we'll never know?
Too busy searching for a better direction to go

Until it all fades away

Live and learn
As I move on that my heart gets colder
and the distant tides have turned
As I move forward the world gets colder

Live and Learn
As I go on that my heart gets colder
and the distant tides have turned
As I move forward the world gets colder
Until it all fades away

-I Solemnly Swear
-

There is no truth in life
Only in death can you find that there is no peace
and what it means to be alive

There is no truth that will set you free
Swallow your tongue before you try to say what's best for me

You don't know
Never walked a day in my shoes
and I'll be damned if I turn out like you

Malicious the way you twist your words
This vicious cycle that I'm in feels more like a curse
When will enough be enough
The world's been dead to me for too long

So sing me a sad song
and tell me that I'll never belong
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm all wrong
But the world's been dead to me for too long

Sad songs
You and me we'll never belong
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm all wrong
But the world's been dead to me for too long

You don't really know what's best for me
Save it for someone else
So before you open your mouth
Know I don't need your help
What I really need is for you to go fuck yourself

So tell me
Does it give you that sour taste that you hate?
There'll be no peace between you and me
Does it give you that sour taste that you hate?
There'll be no peace

So sing me a sad song
and tell me that I'll never belong
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm all wrong
But the world's been dead to me for too long

Sad songs
You and me we'll never belong
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm all wrong
But the world's been dead to me for too long

Does it give you that sour taste that you hate?
To know I'll go my own way
Does it give you that sour taste that you hate?
So sing me a sad song

Patience is wearing thin
Consumed by struggle
Overwhelmed with angst
Stuck in my bitter skin

Born too numb
When all is said and done
You have to learn to walk
Before you ever try to run

Fuck this life
That only
Take
Take
Takes from me
I will stand firm on my own two feet

Dead inside
Time only
Break
Break
Breaks me down
Don't know what more you could expect from me

Walking in the shadows of the night
A clearer conscience
Everyday becomes a different fight
Walking in the shadows of the night
Hard to see what's in front me
When everything's in black and white
Where do we draw the line?

An eye for an eye
Ends up making the whole world go blind
and the sins that we selfishly hide
Have left our pitiful lives in decline
Where do we draw the line?

An eye for an eye
Ends up making the whole world go blind
and the sins that we selfishly hide
Have left our pitiful lives in decline
Where do we draw the line?

Fuck this life
That only
Take
Take
Takes from me
I will stand firm on my own two feet

Dead inside
Time only
Break
Break
Breaks me down
Don't know what more you could expect from me

Walking in the shadows of the night
A clearer conscience
Everyday becomes a different fight
Walking in the shadows of the night
Hard to see what's in front me
When everything's in black and white
Where do we draw the line?

An eye for an eye
Ends up making the whole world go blind
and the sins that we selfishly hide
Have left our pitiful lives in decline
Where do we draw the line?

An eye for an eye
Ends up making the whole world go blind
and the sins that we selfishly hide
Have left our pitiful lives in decline Where do we draw the line

-The Blackout
-

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles we go again
Not holding back the way I used to
A death in me is a death in you

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles can't catch my breath
When will you see my point of view?
A death in me is a death in you

When we collide
You'll know what's on my mind
I hope this cuts you deep
And you lose sleep at night
I died inside
The day you took away what was mine.

Visions of a world without the sun
This is a blackout
Where all the ends come undone
We tried to follow paths you made
You said this time would be the last
It never changed

Visions of a world without love
This is a blackout
Where all the ends come undone
We tried to follow paths you made
Misled, you're now the enemy.

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles we go again
Not holding back the way I used to
A death in me is a death in you

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles can't catch my breath
When will you see my point of view?
A death in me is a death in you

A death in me is a death in you
A death in me is a death in you

Visions of a world without love
This is a blackout
Where all the ends come undone
We tried to follow paths you made
Misled, you're now the enemy.

You are everything I despise
Your life is such a fucking lie!

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles we go again
Not holding back the way I used to
A death in me is a death in you

You said this time would be the last
Around in circles can't catch my breath
When will you see my point of view?
A death in me is a death in you

Visions of a world without the sun (a death in me is a death in you)
This is a blackout where all the ends come undone
(a death in me is a death in you)

Visions of a world without love (a death in me is a death in you)
This is a blackout where all the ends come undone
(a death in me is a death in you)

-In Dreams
-

Waste away another night
Can't leave this bed I've made
Given up on life

God only knows I've tried
To be better
There's nothing left inside

I got so lost along the way
Could never find the words to say
Waited for the dark to change in me
Watched as the seasons faded away

It's easier to just let go
Rather than dwell on all I used to know

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold

Can't leave this bed I made
Given up on life

God only knows I've tried
To be better
There's nothing left inside

I got so lost along the way
Counted down all of the days
Waited for signs from a distant place
Watched as the seasons faded away

It's easier to just let go
Rather than dwell on all I used to know

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold

Through each and every year
You destroy who you are
When you try to disappear
Take me back to the start
Mend all the pieces that fell apart

We watch the world turn
But never stop to think about
Who we are
Take me back to the start
Mend all the pieces that fell apart

I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Never wanted to feel alone

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold

Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold

-Into The Ground-

[feat. Shane Told Of Silverstein]

Into the ground
Got used to watching every year go by
With thoughts diluted I stood at the end
While my days turned into nights

Reliving everything
Every fucking memory
Desperate to feel to get back the time that I've been missing

Where do you go
When moments you embrace become hollow
What will it even be worth
when we sell our souls to live on this earth
Tried to sleep but found comfort in my lack of dreams
We hesitate to let go
Afraid of what we might see

Give me back what fills the void when my minds at the edge
Never thought it'd feel this way
Give me back what these moments all used to mean
Before life got the best of me

Theres still no sign of life here
My demons sing me to sleep in fear
That the dark has left me for dead
To die alone in the place I called my home

Too young to be this fucked up

So where do you go
When moments that you embrace become hollow
Find your way when you get lost and there's no one there to guide you
Tried to sleep but found comfort in my lack of dreams
We hesitate to let go
Afraid of what we might see

Give me back what fills the void when my minds at the edge
Never thought it'd feel this way
Give me back what these moments all used to mean
Before life got the best of me

Got used to watching every year go by
With thoughts diluted I stood at the end
While my days turned into nights

Reliving everything
Every fucking memory
Desperate to feel to get back the time that I've been missing

Give me back
Reliving everything
Give me back
Every fucking memory
Give me back
Desperate to fell to get back
Give me back
The things I know belong to me

-Serpent Herders
-

Eyes of hell
Slithering skin
Demons at my doorstep
Won't you let them in

Serpent herder
wandering souls
Through the fields they dance
In the fires below

Won't you let them in

-Nothing But Blood
-

Nothing but blood
Can change what you have done
I've bled myself enough for you
The holy one

The dark swallowed the day
I watched the sun burn out
Heard the devil praise my name

Empty from the start
Head to the ground
Blackened my heart

There will never be a white light to save me
Despite the bullshit you force fed me to believe
No more sympathy
For the fucks that can't stand up for what they think

Close my eyes so i can feel alone
It helps to see the intent of a world I've outgrown

My lack of faith showed me that this place is no longer a sanctuary
The place you call out to the sky above
Sanctuary
The place you go to feel a false fucking love

Why do we fear
What we're meant to be now
The lies they sold us
Why do we hide
When we're meant to be free
Somehow we bought what they told us

We're the thorn in your side
Cast the shadow of doubt right out now
We're the thorn in your side
And that crown you wear is rusting out now

The dark swallowed the day
I watched every color fade
into a hue of grey
I heard the devil telling me not to let go
Begging for me to leave this sanctuaryv
The place you call out to the sky above
Sanctuary
The place you go to feel a false fucking love

Why do we fear
What we're meant to be now
The lies they sold us
Why do we hide
When we're meant to be free
Somehow we bought what they told us

We're the thorn in your side
Cast the shadow of doubt right out now
We're the thorn in your side
And that crown you wear is rusting out now

We're the thorn in your side
There's comfort in a darker sky
We're the thorn in your side
Not letting go until I know why you were sent to die
We're the thorn in your side

Nothing but blood
Can change what you have done
I've bled myself enough for you
The holy one

-Lord Of Bones
-

[feat. Ahren Stringer Of The Amity Affliction]

Buried my skeletons inside the darkest part of my thoughts
Cut out the bones and left a space for the light to shine on
Stitched up the seams when I felt overgrown
Cut out the bones that made it hard for me to stand on my own

I carry my mistakes and never let them define me
I will walk alone but I won't follow blindly

Do you dream our lives could be so different
From this hell we live in
Now it seems
This life has killed the dream that I've dreamed
I never meant to leave you all behind
But nothing good lasts forever
I never meant to leave you in the past
But nothing good will ever last

Skeletons became the only thing that I could trust
Cut out the bones and left a space for collecting dust
Stitched up the seems finally let go
Cut out the bones when I felt fucking alone

Remove whats left in my chest
In every good life there is an image of death

I carry my mistakes and never let them define me
I will walk alone but I won't follow blindly

Do you dream our lives could be so different
From this hell we live in
Now it seems
This life has killed the dream that I've dreamed
I never meant to leave you all behind
But nothing good lasts forever
I never meant to leave you in the past
But nothing good will ever last

Remove whats left in my chest
In every good life there is an image of death

-My Own Personal Hell-

Detach myself
Through my eyes I see the world
My own personal hell
Is this all in my head?
These demons know me so well

How do you drown out the voices when you're all alone?
That pry at the walls you've built inside your mind so long ago
How do you drown out the voices when you're all alone?
They pry at the walls inside your mind and leave you nowhere to go

There is nothing worth saving
Marked for death
We all die alone when we breathe our last breath

There is nothing worth saving
Marked for death
Unchanged
There's no cure for the pain

I've fallen out of love with the world
We want what we don't need
We fear what we can't see
I've fallen out of love with the world
There's no cure for the pain
A heart that can't be changed

Detach myself
Through my eyes I see the world
My own personal hell
Is this all in my head?
These demons know me so well

How do you drown out the voices when you're all alone?
That pry at the walls you've built inside your mind so long ago
How do you drown out the voices when you're all alone?
They pry at the walls inside your mind and leave you nowhere to go

I've fallen out of love with the world
We want what we don't need
We fear what we can't see
I've fallen out of love with the world
There's no cure for the pain
A heart that can't be changed

There is nothing worth saving
Marked for death

The Dying Things We Live For - 2015

-No King-

You become transparent
when you’re held to the light
Even at your worst I tried to make the wrongs right
You pulled the wool over my eyes
Sick of burning at both ends

You push to break the bend
Never someone I’ll defend

Could’ve been should’ve been
You say it was never supposed to be this way
Built up to come crashing down with your namev Could’ve been should’ve been
You say it was never supposed to be this way

Return to dust the same way that you came
You should know better than anyone
The past can never be undone
Blank stares from the people you once knew
Your downfall is overdue
You’re no king

A broken crown sits at your feet
Pieces of what you used to be
You only see what you want to see
You become transparent when you’re held to the light
I think it’s time you learn to take loss in stride and walk away from what’s mine
Rock bottom and you’re falling faster every day
You’ll find no compassion

You’ll find no sympathy
Return to dust the same way that you came
There is no compassion
No sympathy
Return to dust the same way that you came
You’re no fucking king

-Thrown To The Wind-

I'm counting down until the day that I can close my eyes
Sick of the lows that come with the highs
I’m counting down until the day that I can reach past the light
To find there is no other side
Searching for hope becomes a disease
Too sick to live, too sick to bleed

You make things hard on yourself
When you start bleeding out for someone else
These are the numbered days
We can't erase
Don't spend a lifetime making the same mistakes
Over and over again
We cave in, without thinking
We throw ourselves to the wind
Over and over again
We cave in, without thinking
We throw ourselves to the wind

I'm counting down until the day
That the sun swallows the world whole and all of Hell follows
I'm counting down until the day there's nothing left inside me
And all my bones are hollowed out
Searching for hope becomes a disease
Too sick to live, too sick to fucking bleed

Too sick to fucking bleed, go
Too sick to bleed
(To sick to bleed)

You make things hard on yourself
When you start bleeding out for someone else
These are the numbered days
We can't erase
Don't spend a lifetime making the same mistakes
Over and over again
We cave in, without thinking
We throw ourselves to the wind
Over and over again
We cave in, without thinking
We throw ourselves to the wind

We throw ourselves to the wind
I'm so sick of all the lows that come with the highs
I'm so sick of all the lows that come with the highs

-The Art Of Losing-

If it wasn't for this bad luck
that hangs up over my head,
I'd have no luck at all but maybe once I'd hope for the best.

What would it take to change my expiration date?
Sick of borrowing time I will never repay.

There's an art to losing every single thing you love.
Where do you turn when all you're left with is bad blood?

Is this what it's like, to be put back on the shelf?
Left to collect the dust of someone else.
The light in the back of the tunnel quickly fades to black.
Seasons change as I'm left in the past.

There's no home sweet home when you're sinking underneath just like a stone.
Sinking down, sinking down alone.
There's no home sweet home.

Nothing left to believe in.
Everything I know is slipping away.
Right down the drain.
Is this all in vain?

Nothing left to fight for.
Every new chance brought another door, slammed in my face.
Yet I still came back for more.

Too stubborn to swallow my pride.
Afraid to admit that I've been set aside.
Taken out of the limelight.

What would it take to change my expiration date?
Sick of borrowing time that I will never repay.

There's an art to losing every single thing you love.
Where do you turn when all you're left with is bad blood?

Nothing left to believe in.
Nothing left to fight for

-Fighting Fire With Fire-

I'm trapped inside a cynical way of thinking
Why even bother with a world that pulls me down when I'm sinking?
What I'd give to be naive
The only way I can feel is to disconnect myself from everything
If you can't come to terms with the life that I choose to lead
Stay the fuck away from me
If you can't come to terms with the life I choose to lead
Stay away from me

I won't get stuck on looking back
We're all so guilty of wanting what we'll never have
Fight fire with fire, there is no desire in me
To be like anything you want to see
I'll write you off, write it all off
No second thoughts
You can trace the lines to connect the dots
Write you off, write it all off
No second thoughts
You can trace the lines to connect the dots

Nothing gold can stay
Every breath you take will bring you closer to your dying day
Too much time to contemplate the black and white
I refuse to sell my soul for a place to die

I don't owe the world a god damn thing
I don't owe the world a god damn thing
I don't owe the world a single thing
And I won't get stuck on looking back
I won't get stuck

I won't get stuck on looking back
We're all so guilty of wanting what we'll never have
Fight fire with fire, there is no desire in me
To be like anything you want to see
I'll write you off, write it all off
No second thoughts
You can trace the lines to connect the dots
Write you off, write it all off
No second thoughts
You can trace the lines to connect the dots

So if you can't come to terms with the life that I choose to lead
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay away from me
I don't owe the world a god damn thing
Stay away from me

-Never Repent-

I’ll spit back every word that you threw in my face
Hell is home either way
Another nail in the coffin
For the first time in days, I see clearly
I won’t lead myself blindly to the light
There’s no truth that will give me peace of mind

What did you expect?
For me to bow down and beg for forgiveness?
I won't give in
How does it feel for your words to be irrelevant?
Just know that there will be no song of grace to lead you in
No holy water that will rid you of your sins
There will be no light to pull you from the dark side
Left to decay inside your own lies

Fiction will never become fact
To each their own
We all breathe our last breath alone
Fiction will never become fact
All hope is dead and gone
He’s never coming back
I will bear a new cross to show what I’ve lost

Speak now or forever hold your tongue
When you look up to the sky above, do you feel anything but empty love?
The dying things you’re living for

Give it up
Give it up

There will be no song of grace to lead you in
No holy water that will rid you of your sins
There will be no light to pull you from the dark side
Left to decay inside your own lies

I will never repent
My blood’s already been spent
Choke on the words you preach
You’re not heaven sent
I will never beg for your forgiveness
I will never repen

-The Give And Take-

Face to face with the bad; with the good
I will rest in peace forever misunderstood

This is the give and take
No place to dream in a world that never falls asleep
Another rat in a cage
Empty words fill every page
A never-ending race to finish lines I can’t achieve
In this weightless state I’ve become so empty

The damage is already done, but the worst is yet to be seen
No wishful thinking
A slate that can’t be wiped clean
Here and now is all we know
Until we’re forced to let go,
I’d give it up to find a new home
A place that I can call my own
Damned if I do damned if I don’t

An infinite climb
We’re told to walk along a thin line
Can’t fall out of place
I’ll speak my mind
I won't go quietly into the dark abyss that waits for me

There is no way of life
Worthy of this mother fucking sacrifice
There is no way of life
Worthy of this sacrifice

We all expire
Time waits for no one
We will burn under the same sun
Stained black
Every broken soul that’s left
We all expire before we exist

The damage is done

-History Repeats-

It comes and goes in waves
Will there ever be a life worth all the pain?
While they’re building you up, you’ve gotta prepare for the hang
Bitter winds blow in to remind you of time you spent killing yourself
To find an empty bed
Killing yourself to find a place to rest your head

Nothing green on the other side
Death has no compromise
History repeats the same routine again
It’s hard to play this game when you can never win
Caught between everything that you need to be
And what you want for the world to see
It’s hard to live with yourself when neither side can be pleased

It comes and goes in waves
Will there ever be a life worth all this pain?
When there’s nothing left for them to take, you leave out the same way you came
Bitter winds blow in to remind you of the things you’ll miss
Killing yourself to find a better way to live
Killing yourself to find a meaning in this

Learned to love the misery and lack of company that death is promising me
Learned to love the misery and all of the tragedy that death is promising me

A little hope will get you nowhere at all
You reap what you sow
We are not eternal

It comes and goes in waves
Will there ever be a life worth all this pain?
While they’re building you up, you’ve gotta prepare for the hang
Bitter winds blow in to remind you of the time you spent killing yourself
To find an empty bed
Killing yourself to find a place to rest your head

We are not eternal

-Wasted Days-

They always seem to kick me when I’m down
What a way for them to tell me I’m worth nothing more than dirt on the ground
Just pull the chair from underneath my feet and throw me out into the cold streets

They say some things are better left unsaid
To know the truth would be too much for me to comprehend
Force fed to believe there’s something more for me
Set up to fail with no chance to succeed

Wasted days spent watching my life pass by
Take me away
Back to a better time where I’m not standing in line ready to die
I know I’ve been here before, questioning everything
Left with my heart on the floor

Kick me when I’m down
Numb to the pain
A face with no name
Just pull the chair from underneath my feet
and throw me out into the cold streets

They say some things are better left unsaid
To know the truth would be too much for me to comprehend
What you see is never what you get
Distorted hope for the hopeless

In sickness and health
This black cloud will follow me ‘til I’m burning in hell

-Destined For Dirt-

eft for the vultures alone to rot
You’re nothing but a shadow of a person that I forgot
A silhouette to remind me of what I’m not
You’re just a shade; a duller color than you used to be
Death is a lesson that you’ll learn the hard way

Too little too late
I’ll watch you manipulate every beautiful thing you’ve seen
You’re just the scum left underneath
Too little too late
Such a bittersweet way to relive hate
With darker days ahead
Hard to love with a heart that’s already dead

Born destined for dirt
Truth should hurt
I wish you nothing but the worst

There’s no time you’ll get back
No matter what you give, when the clock runs out
you’ll be left to relive all that you tried to hide away
There’s no escape from the skeletons you keep in your grave

Too little too late
I’ll watch you manipulate every beautiful thing you’ve seen
You’re just the scum left underneath
Too little too late
There’ll be no use for a name on your grave
No one will remember you anyway

When fate decides it’s time for you to die
I’ll be the one to pull the noose tight
When fate decides, I'll be the one to pull the noose tight

Death is a lesson that you’ll learn the hard way

-Wither-

If all you love is everything that’s killing you
I know your pain and what you’re going through
I swear it never rains anymore; only pours
A different day with the same war

If all you love is everything that’s eating you up
I know your pain
You feel like you’ve had enough
You’ve lost so much you don’t keep score
A different day fighting the same war

To say a prayer would mean I had some faith
But I guess distance got the best of me
All it did was teach me how to hate
We’re all devils in our own hells trying to escape
Memories we can’t erase

Good things never come; I give up
Grown to love not being enough
Remove me from the frame
A picture that was meant to fade away
Wither away to grey

To say a prayer would mean there’s a glimpse of hope in me
That’s something that I’ve never seen,
but I’d walk on water if it made me believe
It’s only sink of swim
There’s no chance for me with these concrete limbs
I know all your love is the cause of your griefv I know exactly how you feel
You’re the same as me
We’re all devils in our own hells
