A fate worse than death
Power and balances
Leave us to build from ruin
For all the challenges
Have become meaningless
And our lives expendable
In the scheme of everything
There's not a thing you can do
But let it consume you
Bated breath
The clouds loom overhead
My heart sinks down
Beneath my chest
Nothing survives the radiation
Delusions
Selfish nation
Global eradication
Bated breath
Beneath my chest
How could you be so careless?
Global eradication
Delusions of grandeur
And a selfish nation
A moment's notice
Is all we have
To find closure
In deprivation
Keep a gun clutched in your hand
And watch as it reaches
My city turned to a wasteland
From what I understand
It's just a matter of time 'till it reaches
Keep a gun clutched
Make demands
It's what got us here in the first place
If you want to survive
You have to be ruthless
And what a shame
To be given everything
Just to throw it away
The contemptuous nature
Of human idiots
Unrelenting
The only thing
That can survive the winter
Is me and you
Each soul you're tied to
Will find it's way
On a new plane
Far away from here
And such is life
It doesn't have to stop here
Whether I'm wrong or right
We all have little choice
But to slip into that state of
Uncertainty

Fatal Attraction

|

Lies leave me with sighs
Time to realize the defeat at my hands
Your eyes open wide
Time to meet your demise
And end all your lies
Your words fill me with anger
I'm getting stranger to myself
Who am I?
Blunt force meets your eyes
Shouldn't have lied from the start
(This is for the better)
(Or so I thought)
Fatal attraction
Time to take action
Stick the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger back
And end your fucking life and my rut of needing
What's wrong with my head?
What am I feeling?
Fatal attraction
My satisfaction
To fuck you up and see your reaction
Spewing your blood
Scream as I sever
Lost my mind
Now it's done forever
Lies now your cries
I'll do what I want
You're the coward
Your face finally speechless
Who'd think I'd reach this?
Intentions are breachless
Your words fill me with rage
Time to set the final stage for us
Let's end this
Blunt force end your cries
Shouldn't have lied from the start
Fatal attraction
Time to take action
(This is for the better)
(Or so I thought)
Fatal attraction
Time to take action
Stick the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger back
And end your fucking life and my rut of needing
What's wrong with my head?
What am I feeling?
Fatal attraction
My satisfaction
To fuck you up and see your reaction
Spewing your blood
Scream as I sever
Lost my mind
Now it's done forever
I'll take your hopes
I'll take your dreams
I will take everything
I'll take the light
I'll turn it out
You're all alone
No one to hear you shout
I'll take the light
I'll turn it out
Now
I'll take the light
I'll turn it out
You're all alone
No one to hear you shout
I'll take the light
I'll turn it out
You're all alone
No one to hear you shout
Go
This is for the better
Or so it seemed
Take my hopes and dreams
Take my life
Take everything
Fatal attraction
Time to take action
Stick the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger back
And end your fucking life and my rut of needing
(Yeah)
Fatal attraction
My satisfaction
To fuck you up and see your reaction
Spewing your blood
Scream as I sever
Lost my mind
Now it's done forever

From the Void

Breaking down
So far from a stumble
I've done all I can to stay humble
What would it take to possess your heart?
This hatred tears so deep and it rips me apart
Lacerations placed upon my neck begin to show
The cowardice of my youth is all that I know
All that I know
I
I'm not good enough
Your amusement my strife
Your intentions the knife
Cut me open to the world
End this life
I'm not strong enough
Crush me with hateful words
Oh how the tables have turned
Take a seat and watch my world burn
Broken heart
Has been emptied and torn
Can someone pull me from this void?
Falling down
This time I won't get back up
Close my eyes
This time I've had enough
Lacerations placed upon my neck begin to show
The cowardice of my youth is all that I know
All that I know
I
I'm not good enough
Your amusement my strife
Your intentions the knife
Cut me open to the world
End this life
I'm not strong enough
Crush me with hateful words
Oh how the tables have turned
Take a seat and watch my world burn
Hatred so raw
As hot as the sun
Pain so deep but I will move on
Move on
I will move on
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
I will move on

Don't buy into long lost hope no matter how it seems
When people speak of joy they're only guessing what it means
It's time for a stand
(Right now)
For them to see
It's time for a change
(Break out)
Will you trust me?
You know this is true
(Rise)
So do what you must do
I'm done with the hurt it's through
Start up the fire for burning desire
Make all your will your truth
Struggle for the best
Lay all your doubts to rest
And grasp what will be yours soon
The hour is now
So viciously sound
Live for a promise but don't live a lie
Many are blind going eye for an eye
Break from the system we all abide by
Don't fall for the cheap tricks that society will play
Wolves will find a way to feast on any naïve prey
It's time for a stand
(Right now)
So join me
It's time for a change
(Break out)
Will you trust me?
You know this is true
(Rise)
So do what you must do
I'm done with the hurt it's through
Start up the fire for burning desire
Make all your will your truth
Struggle for the best
Lay all your doubts to rest
And grasp what will be yours soon
The hour is now
So viciously sound
Live for a promise but don't live a lie
Many are blind going eye for an eye
Break from the system we all abide by
I will rise
I will rise up from this struggle
And I will rise up from this struggle
Face the fears that make us humble
And I will rise up from this struggle
To face the fears that make us humble
I will rise up now
You know this is true
(Rise)
So do what you must do
I'm done with the hurt it's through
Start up the fire for burning desire
Make all your will your truth
Struggle for the best
Lay all your doubts to rest
And grasp what will be yours soon
The hour is now
So viciously sound
Live for a promise but don't live a lie
Many are blind going eye for an eye
Break from the system we all abide by
The hour is now
So viciously sound
Live for a promise but don't live a lie
Many are blind going eye for an eye
Break from the system we all abide by
All I want is to see you try
I will rise
(Rise)
I will rise
(Rise)
I will rise
(Rise)
I will rise
Rise

Panic
05:08

Oh my god I'm dying
Please oh god I'm fighting
I'm fighting hell
Everyday I betray myself
Heart exploding
Mind imploding death
Please god
Why can't I just
Function?
Feeling like a psycho
Losing all of my hope
I might just take my life
End it now
The fear is growing everyday
Reality slipping away
I see the end approaching fast
I swear each day will be my last
My last
It's coming
Panic
Oh god
Panic
Oh my god
Crying out
Panic panic panic
Help me
Fix me
End it now
Fighting just to live another day
Endless pitch-black shroud
Someone help me fight this panic
No one can save me now
I fight but don't know how
I know the end is coming
Darkness coming
I'm just burning out
(Breathe Breathe)
I'm just burning out
I'm just burning out
You can tell me I can fix this
But my path is paved in doubt
In doubt
Heart is racing
Hands are shaking
I'm just burning out
This is the hell that I've created for my sins
Death reminds us all that no one ever wins
You can tell me that this strife will move on by
But I know deep down that there's two options
To lose or to die
To lose
Story of this life
Can't get what you want
Don't what you need
To die
Losing self respect
We live amongst men
But must die and face the end alone
We die alone
I can see the joy in misery
A curse was placed on the fathers before me
I see the gilded cages of the free
We must slay our demons
Open your eyes and see
Help me
Fix me
End it now
Fighting just to live another day
My mind failing me
Someone just help me end this panic
No one can save me now
I fight but don't know how
I know the end is coming
Darkness coming
I'm just burning out
(Breathe Breathe)
I'm just burning out
I'm just burning out
You can tell me I can fix this
But my path is paved in doubt
You can tell me I can fix this
But my world is shaped in doubt
You can tell me I can fix this
But my world is shaped in doubt
(Breathe Breathe)
Shaped in doubt
But my world is shaped in doubt
Shaped in doubt
Shaped in doubt
You can tell me I can fix this
But my world is shaped in doubt

Your pawns are falling off the board
No end 'till you're put to the sword
How long can you take this?
This is no game it's war
Drunk on your wealth and power
Yet you still want more
Empty hearts and broken places
Is this really what you're fighting for?
Selfish war
Children blown to pieces
Families are torn in two
Will you face your demons?
'Cause one day they'll come for you
How can you restore the land you've raped?
Soon death will knock at your door
Repent
The youth do the dying
You cower in hiding
Just relent
Vile lies and threats of violence
Provocations equal to your sins
Even if you win
You've already lost
You'd be the last to know
Can you abandon your prize?
Before your last sunrise
Your demise
Defiance, chaos, hate, and violence
There'll be no compliance
Invaders must be silenced
Horror, murder, rape, and torture
Treacherous betrayers
Bring death to all invaders
Oppressor
Know we stand together
We'll cast out your demons
Murderous heathens
Why can't you just see reason?
Is this really worth the price?
Destruction and blackened skies
Empathize
There's no place like home
Painted with flesh and bone
So send down your demons to die
To die
This is what you want?
Well say goodbye
Say goodbye
'Cause your fucking end is nigh
The end is nigh

We are the outlawed
And our time has come
No one believed in us
But we finally made it
We are the outlawed
And our time has come
No one believed in us
But we finally made it
When?
When will you face your fears?
When will you stop running?
They say that people change
But I believe you're too far gone
It's been hell not having you here
When I needed you most
You left without a trace
You'll never know about the hell you put me through
You bought into the lies
The lies the world has told
And you're not the same
Don't come back to me
When your world falls apart
It's time for me to move on
And grow apart from you
I'm done playing this fucking game
You bought into the lies
The lies the world has told you
And you're not the same
I'm done playing your fucking game
All you've done my life is lie to me
You never gave a fuck about me
All you've done my life is lie to me
You never gave a fuck about me
And at the end
You lost everything
You thought you had
You always said I would never accomplish my dreams
How do you feel that I have?
That I have
That I have

I will not hide behind a mask
For comfort I have never asked
All my life I have tried to please you
And it's driving me insane
Trapped inside these four walls
Am I gonna make it out alive?
I sit here waiting for your call
Should I end it all tonight?
This is a story of deception
All I want is to feel your love
In your eyes I will always fail
But in mine I will prevail
I will not hide behind a mask
For comfort I have never asked
All my life I have tried to please you
And it's driving me insane
Trapped inside these four walls
Am I gonna make it out alive?
I sit here waiting for your call
Should I end it all tonight?
This is a story of deception
All I want is to feel your love
In your eyes I will always fail
But in mine I will prevail
You've taken my life away
I live with deception inside
How can I live my life again?
I will prevail
I sit here waiting for your call
Can I make it out alive?
I sit here waiting for your call
Can I make it out alive?
Alive
Trapped inside these four walls
Am I gonna make it out alive?
I sit here waiting for your call
Should I end it all tonight?
This is a story of deception
All I want is to feel your love
In your eyes I will always fail
But in mine I will prevail
I will prevail
