1.
It feels I'm grasping at straws These wounds are much too raw Thoughts make my skin start to crawl I am prepared for the fall How did I not see the signs They were in front of my eyes I feel inspired to die There is no light in my life
2.
We're all stranded together We're all moving parts In their bigger picture But it's all falling apart Nostrils burning With the stench of betrayal Can't get the taste Of deceite out my mouth The maze that we race Day after day Would you still feel the same If you knew you were part of their game The dust may have settled But oppresion takes hold Don't be crushed by the pressure The weight of the world

Erase 01:09
My life's uphill Like trying to fit square blocks In a round hole Where is my place of comfort Where is my home I've been walking barefoot on glass for miles Trying to erase history clean No redemption given No shelter no peace No redemption given No shelter no peace No shelter no peace
4.
Facing the reaper Biting the bullet Choosing to plummet Into the nothing Stuck in a doldrum With no wind in my black sails No will to move forward Nihilistic burden Facing the reaper Biting the bullet Choosing to plummet I choose to plummet To fall short To watch it all burn This addiction to failure Is getting old

Shinigami 03:55
Sunrise sunset Repeat til death I learned the hard way The ones that you love may not be there tomorrow I learned the hard way You have to say I love you when you say goodbye I learned the hard way Everything I love will eventually die I learned the hard way To be born is just to die I learned the hard way Too many times Childhood's over The moment you know one day You're gonna die Sunrise sunset Repeat til death Curse tomorrow I hope it never comes I've grown tired Of counting setting suns Childhood's over The moment you know one day You're gonna die Childhood's over I learned the hard way

The Circle 01:01
Slow down Stay Young And try to survive Grow up Get old Get ready to die The Circle This is what I call The Circle This life's just a circle Everything's just a circle
7.
Another non sequitur A ruse, a cover You're lying through your nicotine stained teeth They are yellow just like your intentions Left In the oubliette Out of sight out of mind Till the end of time My bones turn to dust Out of sight, Out of mind In the oubliette, my bones turn to dust Discarded, displaced, Disposed of, Disgraced forgotten In the oubliette with my vanity and shame Left In the oubliette Out of sight out of mind Till the end of time My bones turn to dust Out of sight, Out of mind In the oubliette, my bones turn to dust Like Sisyphus I am bound to this hell Rolling boulders up and down this hill Right back up, then right back down Waiting in the rain hoping to drown Yeah you mother fuckers This is the hell to which I am bound
8.
High friends Low Places Six feet deep My life's in pieces Another down I hope I'm next I've grown tired Of this constant death I've evolved from the spineless creature I was I have risen from the dust, dirt and mud I will cast away this vile drug That has taken away everything I love Walking upright after crawling for life Wasted time leaves me empty inside How many graves must be filled with our friends Before this all comes to an end (You're deified through tragedy)
9.
Haunted 02:27
I feel filthy Used, unwanted My past returns In my dreams I'm haunted The blame lays on me I've burned my bridges With flames of jealousy And a lack of trust Green with envy I was caught red handed And lied til I was blue in the face Now my soul is black Everything fades to gray Save the heartbreak and cliches Haunted by the eyes That lied so many times Torn apart our lives Like wings from a fly These ghosts won't let me rest Save the heartbreak and chiches I am haunted in my dreams I wish I can go in my sleep So my nightmares stretch on forever I wish I can go in my sleep So my nightmares stretch on forever
