Black 04:48
lyrics
I thought I told you that you and I were through And there is nothing left that you could possibly do So why are you standing outside of my house It’s two in the morning and all I can hear are your shouts Take some time evaluate I’ll purge the words that I once ate Two more years down the drain with you And you don’t even have a clue It’s over I’m done So take it and run It took to long for your love to begin Took to long to get under your skin But I cannot take anymore of this pain I guess I sold you my soul When I said that you were the one And now I’m paying the toll Cause my words were like a loaded gun You shot me through the heart You tried to look into my soul But all you saw were my flaws Then your blood ran cold, and I suffered another loss Maybe it’s time you took a step back Before I take my fist and make your world black Maybe it’s time I made your world black I want to make his face as black as your fucking heart

Blank Stare 06:05
lyrics

Then you were ripped from me Like a rotten apple torn from a tree Taken away you can no longer see What I have done Maybe your eyes were closed so long that you cannot see It’s okay, I’ll just stare back Even though your beauty starts to fade away Your smile only frowns your hair’s starting to fray You always have that blank stare (why don’t you blink) The look on your face says you don’t care The rope was taken down Shredded into a thread Made into a sweater A morbid way to remember And mock me You don’t care Catatonic or paralyzed? Blatant disregard that I despise I told you not to look away But you never listen to what I say The past is the past but your truth’s full of lies My elimination is the key in your eyes

Least Likely To Succeed 04:05
lyrics

My eyes hurt from the number of jagged tears I’ve cried Nice isn’t it to have comfort in your life? Take on what is given in the way of perception Back down to no challenge, walk life’s tight rope, keep your balance Back down to Know one of life secrets, is to be rich Rich with envy, rich with morning Rich with lonesomeness You’re so fucking lonely aren’t you? Think about what I said Meet the criteria, I think so Miscalculations, abbreviations need not apply Take down what was his and back what was yours There’s no time to regret, only time to reform What’s given too content, is now tattered and forlorn My brain hurts from the number of voices in my head Telling me I'd be better off if I was dead Stand strong for all the things you believe in Live life to the fullest, stay strong, know hope, live for others Turn on the songs from the album The one we used to scream to, a living memory Is now the murder weapon Condemned by the hypocritical Executed by the least likely to succeed

Time-Honored Art 04:05
lyrics

So what, I made a mistake Shut up, you’d have done the same Leave me, just leave me alone Let me, grieve this loss of hope I know I fucked up, but are the power tools really necessary? I guess I’m out of luck and this is all the weight I can carry You’re not an angel, there is no such thing as perfection I guess we’re all in hell, and I have lost all forms of perception I’d cut my own arm off, just to give you a helping hand Then maybe you’d find it in your heart, to give me a second chance The lies exuded from my mouth, like blood from my severed veins I’d stitch my lips shut and I’m asking you to do the same This is the only way to let the truth not die within myself You made me rue the day I saw the body of temptation So go and make the cut, just make sure you get through all the bone I have to ask you what you feel while performing this time-honored art

Dead 02:58
lyrics

I need to get out of this headspace Keeping everything inside is fucking with my life I have wasted so much precious time I cannot wait to say goodbye Everything that you said was a lie You are dead in my eyes You're the one I despise Now you won't stop getting in my face Time to get out of here and continue on my own Leaving all the memories behind Now that your true self has shown

Serenity 04:50
lyrics
buy track
I feel the grip of death knocking at my door It’s coming for me, this is my last chance to plea For my life that he’s going to take Am I asking too much? Your words for my life I’m taking the chance of a lifetime asking you for help Waiting for my opportunity To shut it’s door A cure for my own tragedy Like once before I try too hard for my own good I don’t want your fucking sympathy I hear him knock, I try to look at the clock It’s hard to make out the figures It’s like he’s trying to squeeze the trigger And he holds, in anticipation To my temple, dripping with perspiration I feel the grip of my life, fucking slipping away It’s running away from me, in this coffin where I lay Waiting for the last nail to be driven deep I can hear the laughter over head/of the dead Can’t I go one day/life without perturbation? In this delirium of time and life, all I want's the serenity of my death It's haunting me They're taunting me

No Moving On 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Our disagreements have turned into vitriol I have to put an end to this constant cycle Sick of this, hurting hand you lend Sanity you steal is keeping me from finding peace of mind Piece of shit, now this will be the end Betray, deceive, there is no relief Endless, constant, want to believe but I can’t There is no moving on, ambition lost for eternity Wish I could access my mind like a database I’d selectively delete every moment with you Judas, you portray so well Despondence as a direct result of our encounter Counterfeit, you were the friend from hell Why stay when I can leave? Why live when I can’t breathe? Why give what I can keep? Why heal a wound this fatally deep?
