About Last Night

Woke up this morning
Feeling awful
Head still heavy as it sinks into my hands
The afternoon comes
My body starts to ache
Rot in the gut
A never ending pain
The vicious cycle of life after midnight
The thrill I can't seem to escape
Nothing ever changes
The vicious cycle of life after midnight
In the dark that's when you feel no pain
It's getting late
And I'm strung out
Getting wasted
Passing out on floors
I needed some relief to get me through the day
Take one as needed
And more for the pain
The vicious cycle of life after midnight
The thrill I can't seem to escape
Nothing ever changes
The vicious cycle of life after midnight
In the dark that's when you feel no shame
So about last night
I don't remember
I heard it was good time
So about last night
I don't remember
Took one to many hits
Got concerned that I might be dead
Still drowning in excess
Always battling sickness
Ready to die
Every morning I wake up and feel like fucking hell
Every night I spiral out and double down
I've stopped counting
Mistakes I've made
I revel in them
I wear them on my sleeve
Still drowning in excess
Always battling sickness
Ready to die
Woke up this morning
Feeling awful
Head still heavy as it sinks into my hands
The afternoon comes
My body starts to ache
Rot in the gut
A never ending pain

Voids

I embrace this destructive sense of being
It's getting harder
To shake this feeling
That someday I'll wake up wishing life had been different
I might have pushed it to far
Oh no, oh well
Filling voids in this black heart
So long and farewell
I can clearly see the mess that is becoming of me
It's getting easy to figure out this can't go on
Something's got to give
I place my money on it
Will it be my body or just another broken spirit
I might have pushed it to far
Oh no, oh well
Filling voids in this black heart
So long and farewell
I always welcome
Wickedness, depravity
It's getting harder to carrier this feeling
That someday I'll wake up wishing life had been different
Lost within the void
I embrace this destructive sense of being
It's getting harder
To shake this fucking feeling
That someday I'll wake up wishing life had been different
I might have pushed it to far
Oh no, oh well
Filling voids in this black heart
So long and farewell

Priest of Shit
03:27
|

Live what you preach
Calling for the execution
Of the nations highest priest
Drag them off their golden thorns
Lay them on their knees
Send greetings to god above
War is coming
Faith has fallen
Time to rid this world of scum
Can't stand these high holy men
False disciples
They sell you fear to keep you down
You hurt another one of my kin
Hell is real
No flames, just violence
Atone and answer for your crimes
God's forgiveness is not mine
They're calculated and corrupt
Let's nail the sinners to their cross
What I'm asking is extermination
Leave behind those old traditions
We won't need them when their dead
Dead priests have no sermons
Sold your sold for profit
There is no second coming
Because I have no respect for any god fearing man
Corporate Christians you reaping fat of the land
Destruction follows the left hand path
Hell is real
No flames, just violence
Can you hear
The gnashing of teeth
Suffer now
Suffer in eternity
Atone and answer for your crimes
God's forgiveness is not mine
They're calculated and corrupt
Let's nail the sinners to their cross

Dead in the Gutter
03:45
|
|||
When you've reached your limit
When you got nothing left
Walking these streets at midnight
Fuck man I just need a light
Just found a pack of smokes
Still got miles to go
They say this is my city
I know I got ten more in me
Face down in the gutter
Another case were the police don't bother
It's one left body to serve
Millions left for the slaughter
Smoke lit, walking alone
No shoes with a heart made of stone
Ask for a helping hand
Roads been rough I'm doing all I can
Dead in the gutter
That's where you'll find me
Reckless
Aimlessly wandering
Keeping pace with the ghost and ghouls
Hurry now before you're consumed
I know when it's getting late
The light will start to blur
As they come and goes
I can see the mess I've become
I don't need anybody
I don't have any money
So I'll walk these streets alone
Pack of smokes and a heart made of stone
It might be the long was
But if I make it home
Remember just one thing
I know own this motherfucking town
So just go deep in the night
They'll never find you out there
So just go deep in the night
Walk where the light won't shine on you
Dead in the gutter
That's where you'll find me
No name, no remorse
Nothing to identify me

Born to Lose
04:46
|

We were all born to lose
There's no chance of gaining any ground
As the dirt slips from under our feet
It reminds us of who we are
Feeling that there's no hope is just a side effect
Clean cut with a plastic smile
We still see your ugliness
The more we struggle
The more we sink
This world wasn't built for you
The system wasn't made for me
Oh what a disaster it's been
Decades long of struggling
Oh what a mess we have become
We can't do it on our own
We were born to lose
We bought the lie
We were born to lose
We were always left to die
We were all sold the same lie
You work hard and you'll be rewarded
But filthy hands tell a different story
What's become is social extortion
Feeling that there's no hope is just a side effect
Nice suit and a brand new ride
We still see your ugliness
The more we struggle
The more we sink
This world wasn't built for you
The system wasn't made for me
Oh what a disaster it's been
Decades long of struggling
Oh what a mess we have become
We can't do it on our own
We were born to lose
We bought the lie
We were born to lose
We were always left to die
We were always born to lose
We bought their selfish lie
Its getting worse
The nights are growing longer
I know that hell awaits me every time I open my eyes
We were all born to lose
There's no chance of gaining any ground
As the dirt slips from under our feet
It reminds us of who we are

Bastard

I could walk a millions miles but never see it your way
That constant feeling of regret
The one I've always carried
These feelings hang so heavy on my face
Now I know why
I'm stuck with all your problems like they were always mine
I know what happened next
You needed an out
I know what happened next
You needed a scapegoat
We built your walls
We dug our own graves
You painted us as villains in attempt to hide your mistakes
It's that pride that'll bring you down
It's that pride that will eat you alive
Not to worry though
Time will pass and we'll be just fine
I know what happened next
You sold me out
I know what happened next
You found your scapegoat
What starts on left will end on left
Don't you forget it
I could write a million words but I wont read your way
That constant feeling of regret
The one I've always carried
These feelings hang so heavy on my face
Now I know why
I live with all your problems like they were always mine
I know you had your reasons
They blame was ours to share
I know you hand your reasons
We did this to ourselves
All for one and none for all
What starts on left will end on left
Don't you forget it

Just Another Coward
04:12
|

We thought it was the end
Staring down the eye of the storm
As night fell, winds picked up
Smoked and drank until the lights when out
So where were you when the skies turned grey?
We lived it up like we were gonna die
Wasted beyond repair
The only way I got to sleep that night
I'm taking note of every coward who turned tail and ran
This is my city. I'll fucking die in it
You've brought shame upon your house
I heard you ran like a fucking coward
So where were you?
While we all held our breath
Somewhere sipping on those fancy drinks
While we smoked our last cigarettes
So where were you
When the lights went out
You weren't here, weren't at home
I heard you ran like a fucking coward
Just another coward
So where were you
While we all held our breath
Somewhere sipping on those fancy drinks
While we smoked our last cigarettes
So where were you?
When the lights went out
You weren't here, weren't at home
I heard you ran like a fucking coward
So where were you
When the wind cut through our walls
Were you safe? Did you sleep?
Don't forget where you fucking come from
So where were you
When the damage was done
Heard you backed your shit and went north
Go and run like a fucking coward

Forever Filthy
04:03
|

Keep fighting back
Maybe someday you'll build up the strength
To climb out of the hole
Always the same, forever filthy
This feeling won't go away
It's the midnight itch you can't scratch
Progress through acceptance
Always the same, forever filthy
This time there are no spirits
No demons to follow
It's time to crave a new way
Always take the left hand path though
I still walk amongst the tombstones
Sometimes late at night
This time I seek no guidance
Thank you spirits I'm doing fine
Always the same
Forever filthy
This time there are no spirits
No demons to follow
It's time to crave a new way
Always take the left hand path though
It was hell that swallowed me whole
Through the belly of the beast
It was there I could lay my head
And finally get some fucking sleep
I'm vile
And disgusting
That's why I have no faith in the future or myself
Always the same, forever filthy
Dead on arrival, left to rot
A fading memory that's best forgot
No faith in the future
No faith in myself
Live like you're dead
Live like no one else
Because I'm vile
And disgusting
That's why I have no faith in the future or myself
Always the same, forever filthy

All Alone
04:13

All Alone
No escape
Head full of smoke
To help clear the way
Each step confirms
Decisions already made
Set the world on fire
And die in the flames
From here on it's rough
Time to get moving
Another town
Another life
Another way to prove your worth
With miles to go
No time to stop
Burn every bridge
Fight your way through the hardships
From here on it's rough
Time to get moving
Another town
Another life
Another way to prove your worth
You don't need to know which way that your going
Every road takes a different toll
You find yourself in the strangest of places
Give up now
Abandon all your hope
There's nothing left for you here
Burn it all down
Nobody loves you when your at the bottom
Face down it's a tough pill to swallow
There was nothing left to give
Pack your shit say goodbye and make the best of it
You don't need to know which way that your going
Every road will take a different toll
You find yourself in the strangest of places
Give up now
Abandon all your hope
It's time to get out
There's nothing left for you here
Burn it all down
All Alone
With no escape
A head full of smoke
To help clear the way
Each step confirms
Decisions already made
Set the world on fire
And die in the flames

Heavy Lies
03:45
|
|||
Paid my dues in blood and sweat
Doubled down on mistakes and made the best of it
Same story just retold
Over and over again
I'm just an animal
Living free ain't dying for nothing
We're not one family
I don't know you
You don't know me
Gave it all I had
Traveled down the southern path
Didn't work
Should've died
Lost some friends but I survived
I'm just an animal
Living free ain't dying for nothing
We're not one family
I don't know you
You don't know me
Confessions of a coward
Carried all your heavy lies
So much hate and malice
I hope you hear this part
Heavy lies and stolen hours
Broken
Your words carry weight
We all had plights
I always gave from my plate
Heavy lies and stolen hours
Broken
Your words carry weight
With the knife sticking out of my back
I always gave from my plate
I'm just an animal
Living free ain't dying for nothing
We're not one family
I don't know you
You don't know me
Confessions of a coward
Carried all your heavy lies
So much hate and malice
I hope you hear this part
