For those who have very little
Appreciation is greater than what they receive
But when that person's handed the world
Nothing's ever good enough
Luscious brown hair that drapes over her shoulder
Beautiful blue eyes as bright as the sky
Dreams that told stories of happy endings
But their not true, no not with you
So just please tell me why I was
Not enough
So I'm not hero but I gave you everything
So why was that not enough for you?
That's when we died
That's when we said our goodbyes
You took my soul, you broke me down cold
You took my soul, you broke me down cold
And everything was lost...
When I thought I found an angel
I found the cold hard truth
Buried beneath the surface
Behind beautiful blue eyes
Eyes that told me you loved me
Eyes that told me you cared
Eyes that hid the bitter truth of what was soon to come
And everything I ever did for you
And everything I've ever was
Just wasn't good enough for you
So maybe nothing ever was
And how could I be so ignorant?
And how could I be so blind?
To think that one day in time we'll live the perfect life
This is the end
This is the end of the world
It all came crashing down
When I gave you the fucking world
You spit it back in my face
And threw me right to the curb
But I am better than that
I will be strong
How could I be such a fool?
Blinded by my heart
Saw wanted to see
Even though it couldn't be
As another chapter closes
I turn a blank sheet of canvas
I'll paint my life in my own vision
Beautiful and bright
Beautiful and bright
Beautiful and bright

Do Not Resuscitate

Hang your crosses on the hospice walls
Tell the preacher
Don’t speak to me of angels
I will never be saved
Save your breath for your silent prayers
For I have already been condemned
Is it worth
To go through life dreaming
Of what you wish to do
If only I
Had the courage to love
Not just only myself
But all the people in my life
My life
I ran away to hide the shame that I feel when I look into your eyes
Your eyes
That build me up so graciously but I can never amount all those lies
I’m just a failure
I’m just a failure
This shell I stare at in this mirror is someone who I’ve never seen
I’ve seen
The fall from grace from tainted eyes and I caused it
I will make you all remember me
I have made peace with my demons
I did what I needed to do
You’ll watch as I
Held this gun to my head
Pulled the trigger, lights out
Sound of silence has never been sweeter
If I survive my death I want you to give me the
D.N.R.

I tried
Tonight
To save you
Tonight your life is mine
Don't walk away
Cause no one makes it out alive
You left me here
With regret, wasting my time
Broken bottles and drowning sorrows
As glass slides down my throat
Choke back up nothing left
As you choke on your words
And I feel the loss of these words
I love you never hurt so wrong
You look through me as if I was never there
Well your picture perfect smile of yours
Is no more
I've cut the lights
Locked the doors
There is no getting out
Scream for help
Pray to God
It's no use you are mine
You are mine
Look what you
You have done
You've made me like this
I never wanted
To end up like this
We're perfect for each other
You're every breath
Has become mine
With my hands around your throat
And I feel the loss of these words
I love you never felt so wrong
I am not who you think I am
I am not.. I am not.. I am not who you think I am
I am God
I am life
I am death
I am all
I am God

The Void

Why could I not save you?
My greatest friend - taken
Left me so hollow as I read the front page
My heat sank deep - buried
Bury it with you as we toss roses to your grave
Why did you feel that this was the end?
Didn't you mean the world to us?
The void
You left us
The pain
That you went through
And I can't begin to say all the thoughts in my head when you were taken from
And I can't begin to say all the thoughts in my head taken from me
Was it that hard for you to carry through?
As you always do I only wish we knew
How the deed was done, or do I really need to know?
Bleeding all of your pain on the bathroom floor
With love letters that you've scattered and tore
We lower you down and we say our goodbyes
I drop to my knees and scream to the sky
Why?
Why was it you?
Please
Let it be me
I love you
As the crowd thins out
And we're left at your grave
We speak in your honor
And pour shots in your name
As the daylight fades
And we watch the sunset
I know that your beside us as we embrace you in our heart
Our heart
Please come back to us!
Lost and torn
Holding onto pictures and memories
Of a better time and place
I'll withstand the chilling darkness of death
So that once more
You could shine through it all

Hang The Jury
04:15

Take from me
All the fear
For my thoughts
Of what I'll do with you tonight
Pushed pass the limit
Your talk is cheap
You sell your lies draped in disguise
That you were a better man than me
Sold out your values
Of respect and pride
I'll teach you your final life lesson
That if you step to me, then your ass is dead
Bars and chains are no threat to me
For what I've done I pray they give me death
I'll end you, I'll kill you
This is my promise to me
Blood on hands, flows from you
No mercy for the weak
You know it would catch up to you
And you keep running your mouth
Keep your mouth open
Get down on the curb
Let's get stepping, bitch
This is - as real as it gets
Man up - and make this a fight
Don't cry - your cries fall on deaf ears
Bloodshed - how much will you spill to survive?
I - will laugh in the judge's face
I - will tell him, it was worth it
I - will smile when they strap me in
My - final thought is, I'd do it all again
No pardon for me
No fear in my eyes
Grant me my release
To hell I ride
While you lie in your grave
I - will laugh in the judge's face
I - will tell him, it was worth it
Don't cry - your cries fall on deaf ears
Bloodshed - how much will you spill to survive?
I - will smile when they strap me in
My - final thought is, I'd do it all again

Heavy Lies The Crown

Blindly leading people
Meant for your eyes only
No one speaks
Closed mouth, wide eyed masses
All lives are broken
They seek to stop this bleeding
Let them be
Free them from your suffering
All that you’ve done, your people have visions
Of seeing graves of their young
Condemned to death, filling their heads with lies
As we fill up these graves we’ve dug
And come to the terms, it’s a part of this life
To stand up and fight or accept we all die
I'll see you in hell
You cannot live forever
You cannot live
And I’ll see you, burning now
You are no saviour
You are no saviour
And you’ll burn
You'll say now, “You’ll beg for me, give praise to me.
My lies will be your new religion.”
All that you’ve done, your people have visions
Of seeing graves of their young
Condemned to death, filling their heads with lies
As we fill up these graves we’ve dug
And come to the terms, it’s a part of this life
To stand up and fight or accept we all die
Your madness, leading madness, spreading sickness
Across the whole damn world
Your sickness breeds more sickness
Causing suffering to the poor
As you fall from grace
Under the weight of your crown

They Gave Us Plague
04:25

Dress up in your 3-piece suit
And slip into your plastic skin
Play it safe and you’ll get to the middle
Follow the sheep straight to the slaughter
Quiet
They’re listening
We whisper but the walls are too thin
Please break me down
And build me up
Into your perfect picture of me
All that I am
Is not enough
For the fakes I that try to please
Shatter the distorted mirror
That reflects their vanity
In which they force upon you
Creating false pride and masking anger
To hide their insecurities
That you are a better man than who they are
They do not want you to know this
But know this
Don’t let them have you
You are the gold that they long to be
Please break me down
And build me up
Into your perfect picture of me
All that I am
Is not enough
For the fakes I that try to please
Now time to rise
Take back your life
Watch as towers fall
You are no pillar
So watch as these fakes burn down
Fuck what they’ve said
Fuck what they’ve told you that you are, you are gold
I’d say – choke on your pride – But you have none left now that I am gone
