I don’t need your answers I’m holding out for a better Gotta gotta chase another opportunity I need it like I need the air I breathe Cut down by the torture, priority disorder All or nothing painful and do whatever you please But once you’ve entered you may never leave Think I was paralyzed and hypnotized by the visions of grandeur And to no surprise it seems I bargained more than I planned for Nobody tells you about the times that are rough You have to trust in those you keep around to never give up Forgive me I sold my soul I found it fitting cause I never even felt what it means to feel whole I think I’d rather feel nothing at all Letting go is harder than you know But it will set you free to choose your destiny Every time you think you got a grip life takes a 180 and maybe If I had grown up feeling less alone I could’ve built for myself a better man than shown I am a turtle without its shell, I didn’t play my cards very well And in a moment of indecision I damned my own soul straight to hell Somehow I feel what I now lack And I intend to take it back Take it back All of the times I lied claiming that I was fine, gritting my teeth behind determination Pushed to the wayside, with all my strength I’ll attack Because I’m taking it back Nobody tells you about the times that are rough You have to trust in those you keep around to never give up But now I’ve opened up a side of me that I’ve never seen And all I had to do was believe

Guilt 04:42
I woke up just the other day, then passed out so I can waste the night away I want to feel serenity, I guess time will tell This happens when you get hurt you throw yourself at the dirt And if you open up your eyes you'll find it only gets worse I feel the silence that binds us is buying us time Life feel so boring ensuring it's the end of the line Of the line Every hasty decision is making me sick Been grinding out these past 10 years and I think I've just about had it But I'm the one that said they want this, and now I'm feeling like a heretic What have I done where do I go Everyone says I'm a disaster, I see the bottom coming faster And I still hear your voice say you want nothing to do with me Let go I've done this to myself should've just asked for help There's no more silence buying time it's just the end of the line Break the cycle or break yourself You buried your guilt, threw the keys out of your cell Break the cycle or break yourself You buried your guilt, threw the keys out of your cell Your cell Since my cup is empty, and you all resent me Although words mean nothing, I wish to speak freely I'm waiting, anticipating, I'm wasting away, wasting away This happens when you get hurt you throw yourself at the dirt And if you open up your eyes you'll find it only gets worse I feel the silence that binds us is buying us time Life feel so boring ensuring it's the end of the line Of the line Every time that I decline I will say that I'm just fine And every time you look away I'm slowly suffocating I hope the good that I've done and will continue to do Will be enough to help me pull through Break the cycle or break yourself You buried your guilt, threw the keys out of your cell Your cell Every time that I decline I will say that I'm just fine And every time you look away I'm slowly suffocating I hope the good that I've done and will continue to do Will be enough to help me pull through

Identity 04:11
You keep wanting more, but I'm running on empty Collapsed on the floor, you wrecked me completely We've seen this before, a soul feeling deeply Attacked for what more, the keys to the city Ignored every warning despite however boring Kept count of all your guided tricks into the deadliest abyss Your efforts were noted and you couldn't plan for this But now that I'm still alive in time you'll pay for it You'll pay for it Everything can change depending on what you know Some consider it pain, but I would call it growth And since you're on your way to the top you should be fearing the fall But most of all you can't unseed what you've sown Always thought there was something wrong with me Because I think so differently because I practice empathy This is my Identity don't care if that's what's wrong with me I've never needed your sympathy These are all the parts of me so take it or just leave me be I seek to be myself and nothing else So give me a break For goodness sake You can call me a fake I put money on the fact you wouldn't say it to my face This is my Identity don't care if that's what's wrong with me I've never needed your sympathy These are all the parts of me so take it or just leave me be I seek to be myself and nothing else You keep wanting more, but I'm running on empty Collapsed on the floor, you wrecked me completely We've seen this before, a soul feeling deeply Attacked for what more, the keys to the city With foul play You'll get what's coming to you

Here's to the cowards they'll get what they all deserve And to the bastards that kicked us to the curb Tossed in the pan then you switched on your burners Reluctant to the fact that we have become table turners Keep pushing we found solid ground and don't expect will be losing our footing So find a new life the best advice we can give it isn't all about you so get over it You can't have it all You can't avoid this, you see potential but it's my job to work with it And it makes no sense enigmatic going off the deep end They could be better, it sounds generic, why can't it be heavier No I'd hate to see a world controlled by you I see the strings behind the scenes and I think I'm starting to see what it all means I can't believe that you would think that your opinion matters When all you do is put others down and think you're better than me Then everyone else around showing the world that you are a clown Go drown Don't write me off I'll write for you is there still more that I have to prove Do what you have to do to make it timeless Asking me if I still have faith gotta admit that I'm a little unsteady Do what you have to do to make it timeless Give me everything I want it all until your head explodes I'll take take take what I want then I'll slander your name till your memory is gone They can never be satisfied to scratch the itch They'd have to pick up their own life the thought alone leaves it petrified It takes that one in a million to be what they all despise Don't write me off I'll write for you is there still more that I have to prove Do what you have to do to make it timeless Asking me if I still have faith gotta admit that I'm a little unsteady Do what you have to do to make it timeless Is this what you all wanted another song to crowd kill while we can't pay our own bills Our scene is truly haunted and I am sorry if you feel like you've been taunted But then again I shouldn't care nobody said you had to like our music Nobody stopped you while you tore us down You'd feel the same if you'd just been through it Do you feel better?

Pzzls 04:19
Well you found me I've been trapped underneath All of the pieces are crumbling I could go on endlessly but I'd only be prolonging the bleeding Nothing ever feels right when the red flags are in sight You don't ignore the prophecy and then repeat the past that is insanity unknown The answers are still unknown Can't you see the air is thickening unknown Since you have been filled with doubt I'll find my own way out Well you found me I've been trapped underneath All of the pieces are crumbling I could go on endlessly but I'd only be prolonging the bleeding Unknown We'll claw our way to the top We're gonna call it home Feels good to finally claim our throne Well you found me I've been trapped underneath All of the pieces are crumbling I could go on endlessly but I'd only be prolonging the bleeding Full disclosure ingrained composure Flawed by design my own composer You broke me down and tore apart my body Then wasted our time to us it's not a hobby Darkness upon us fell prey to time Been round the block before but never crossed my mind That little things add up to big ones and I just turn the other cheek Victim to misery Nothing ever feels right when the red flags are in sight You don't ignore the prophecy and then repeat the past that is insanity unknown The answers are still unknown

Celebration 04:22
Innocence is blind so fall in line I may be down but I bounce back every time I'm crossing the seas been caught in between A fairytale or being buried six feet deep Although I'm weary I'm still standing on my feet When all seems wrong I'll still partake in the revelry It's my persistence that fuels when I've lost my way And I refuse to be a pawn in this game you play I tried to scream and shout To show you what I'm all about Break free You tried to slow me down but I will never quit Avoiding cancellation You tried to force my hand but I put an end to it Now you'll be celebrated Get back in line Do not lose sight of your vision Show some appreciation You've come too far to fall to indecision Although I'm weary I'm still standing on my feet When all seems wrong I'll still partake in the revelry It's my persistence that fuels when I've lost my way And I refuse to be a pawn in this game you play Break free You tried to slow me down but I will never quit Avoiding cancellation You tried to force my hand but I put an end to it Now you'll be celebrated Get back in line Feel the water rising The death grip tightening All disorder breaks loose Frighteningly dying You cast the spark with the sly remarks Now you'll feel the pain since you jumped the shark I feel compassion but don't try to cross me Releasing my fury I'll show you no mercy Show no mercy Show no mercy You see that's just it you push through or quit when staying relevant is scratching the surface I feel compassion but don't try to cross me Innocence is blind so fall in line I may be down but I bounce back every time I'm crossing the seas been caught in between A fairytale or being buried six feet deep Although I'm weary I'm still standing on my feet When all seems wrong I'll still partake in the revelry It's my persistence that fuels when I've lost my way And I refuse to be a pawn in this game you play
