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 03:29
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

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

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 05:02
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

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

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
