Fog and Antidepressants 02:56
lyrics

Dirty clothes and I smell like shit My head hurts so bad I wish I didn't exist I sit down as the cars pass by I lost something but I don't know what I miss I took off running right away A quick escape I think there was a time before this bender Trying to find a place I don't remember When everything felt like it was never ending They weren't just dreams it was where I was heading Everything was just a little bit smaller I wasn't broke I just didn't have a dollar Nothing matters when you live in the present Looking back through fog and antidepressants It's fucking hot and I feel like shit I try to keep steady but the ground persists The lights of a city full of life Picking up speed leaving me behind Every day I move further away Forever lost in a past I made I think there was a time before this bender Trying to find a place I don't remember When everything felt like it was never ending They weren't just dreams it was where I was heading Everything was just a little bit smaller I wasn't broke I just didn't have a dollar Nothing matters when you live in the present Looking back through fog and antidepressants The good times I am missing I'm dead instead of living Alone for the end of the world The night falls while I'm sleeping The sun dies I keep repeating Alone for the end of the world One day this will come to an end Don't let go

Everything you don't know That you don't live through All you've cast aside What you keep on mute I was you, I couldn't break through Every bit of bullshit that I was ever fed Was hanging like a fog so I couldn't reset I'm running out of excuses We're running out of time What happened to you How'd you get confused Lost without a clue Did you just give up Say you've had enough Afraid of the truth I used to know you I used to care I watched you changing You weren't aware Born into the same nightmare Makes me better, makes you scared Everywhere you go Everything you see What you try to forget When you don't agree I was you, lost and see through I thought that I had everything figured out Everything was fake, I was living in the clouds I'm running out of excuses We're running out of time What happened to you Cornered in your youth Timid from abuse Erase the past to control today Clean the blood and rewrite the pain There's no fix for what's not broke The dream was meant to be a hoax A story bought and sold A fairytale stranglehold A trickle down illusion A blindfold forced on everyone I used to know you I used to care I watched you changing You weren't aware Born into the same nightmare Makes me better, makes you scared

Menace to Sobriety 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Every day just gets a little shorter Looking back when I need to move forward Death is calling as I take a step closer Self medication in a world that's been set on fire Sometimes I wanna go numb Sometimes I wanna have fun I keep running from yesterday thinking about tomorrow's pain When you need to just get far away When there's nothing that you would not erase Every day I get a little older Turn around and it's already over Death is counting and he's got my number Self medication to find the strength to take another breath Sometimes I wanna go numb Sometimes I wanna have fun I keep running from yesterday thinking about tomorrow's pain When you need to just get far away When there's nothing that you would not erase I keep reliving this moment over and over again I'm not the same damn person I was when this began So I keep waiting for something to change beyond my skin I'm slowly poisoned kept alive to serve the one percent They'll be time for everything tomorrow They'll be time for everything before we go We're born into this fucking maze For most slow death, for others it's a game We fight, we kill, it's neighbor verse neighbor We take, we keep, so someone else can hurt I'd rather leave it all behind It's easier to blur the lines

Bullets on the Moon 02:51
lyrics

I'm sorry that I can't find a better paying job When I slip then we fall and I bring you along I'm sorry that I drag you into my failures I have no clue what's normal behavior I'm sorry that you're finding out I'm nothing but a fraud My ambitions too ambitious Wasting bullets on the moon I hope that I can be enough for you to want to stay Of all the time, of any place I am here forever I know we will never win but right now never ends I'm sorry that I'm not a better version of myself I used to try but that died, bad habits poor health I'm sorry that I overshot without aiming I need the sun but it never stops raining I'm sorry all I know is how to sell myself Aspirations too aspiring I guess I aim too high I hope that I can be enough for you to want to stay Of all the time, of any place I am here forever I know we will never win but right now never ends You never asked for anything much from me Getting fucked up with a codependency Everything's on fire and we're cornered here What tomorrow will be left when the smoke finally clears I am nothing, floating on alone We are everything, lighting the unknown The future is changing but the constant is you Every end is the beginning of something new

We're to Blame 01:32
lyrics

Closer than you think to losing everything Everything will pass Nothing ever lasts All it takes is a little bad luck Your life is upside down you get fucked There's no money to rescue you We all heave to learn some hard fucking truths 'cuz this world will beat you down This world beats you down Not if but when you lose it all At the end of the day we're all the same No single cause we're all to blame

Loudness Wars 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Every step that you take is another mistake so watch your back Every move that you make is being watched on tape so watch your back What should we be scared of today Divide us, provide us with another round of outrage and tragedy Separate, selling hate, codependency that feeds off our agony It keeps us at each other's throats Ignore the crooked It's not magic to misdirect Look down don't look up Every one that you see is a killer and a thief so watch your back The only thing the other side wants from you is to die so watch your back What should we be scared of today Divide us, provide us with another round of outrage and tragedy Separate, selling hate, codependency that feeds off our agony It keeps us at each other's throats Ignore the crooked It's not magic to misdirect Look down don't look up

Years in a Month 02:36
lyrics

I used to dream about everything It was up for grabs Not afraid of anything It was all gonna last I never thought that I would make it this long I did not think that I could survive the storm Everything that's left of me leaves me feeling incomplete I used to dream about the life I'd have The mountains I would climb I was gonna prove everyone wrong that I was more than my crimes I never thought that I would make it this long I did not think that I could survive the storm Everything that's left of me leaves me feeling incomplete I probably should've died I partied too hard Careless and scarred Unlucky harm I probably should've died I lived all at once Years in a month Violent and fun This gift that I've been given Squandered instead of living I've spent so much time chasing a life that I don't really want It's over but endings bring in a new beginning I've spent so much time chasing a life that I don't really want

Call of the Void 05:07
lyrics

A quick turn One miss-step For one moment let go of the ledge Fall head first Undo birth I'm gone but still here waiting You never get a second chance Nothing ever is as planned Rolling punch to punch you can't keep this up Every step is final, our survival primal I keep moving When I run it finds me Close my eyes it blinds me The regret reminds me this is all I have left One moment One short breath In the blink of an eye there's nothing left Trapped in fog Rewrite god Giving up just to let go You never get a second chance Nothing ever is as planned Rolling punch to punch you can't keep this up Every step is final, our survival primal I keep moving When I run it finds me Close my eyes it blinds me The regret reminds me this is all I have left It's calling I'm falling It's calling The crossing Taking the same hit while I do the same thing Wishing this was different but I'm trapped by what I think Nothing ever changes I am stuck in static Fight against a current keeping me stagnant You never get a second chance Nothing ever is as planned Rolling punch to punch you can't keep this up Every step is final, our survival primal I keep moving When I run it finds me Close my eyes it blinds me The regret reminds me This is all I have left My heart beats My blood flows Rate steady under control Locked away My prison I'm feeding my contrition I am the ghost of my youth Taking the path that I choose It's always dark before dawn The darkness of the beyond I am the ghost of my past Living a slow moving crash but it can always get worse Living in reverse
