Come on. I can’t believe I let myself get sucked into this. Severed from all normalcy, entranced by my desires. I can only feel pain, seems like there’s no upside. Your guard is down. I’ll seize my chance to turn this thing around. Your time of control has changed hands. That’s right the pleasures all mine. I’m accepting no apologies. Your turn to have a sleepless night.
Through all the pain, through all the scars it just so happens you’re still laughing. I can’t afford to break my hold, and in the end I hope I have your blood and blessings.
It’s obvious I’ll take you apart piece by helpless piece. See the fear inside your eyes now that your fun has ceased. These nightmarish thoughts have passed from me along to you. It’s almost sick how good of time I’m having hurting you.
Through all the pain, through all the scars it just so happens you’re still laughing. I can’t afford to break my hold, and in the end I hope I have your blood and blessings.

Only time will tell what makes a man as strong as he can. His bones won’t break because he can’t escape from the prison that he’s in. He’s traded himself away for something that conforms. He’s caught in the wake of his mistakes of caring what they think. When there’s not enough time to free yourself from life. Remember that the choice is yours to make or break. Fall back.
And now you’re down again. Can you bring yourself back up? Mistakes to which a fool could make but you’re all part of this. They’ve taken control for far too often. Grab hold of your life. You know what’s best for you and no one can tell you what you want. When there’s not enough time to free yourself from life. Remember that the choice is yours to make or break. Fall back.
Can you feel it this time? Are you dieing on the inside? Don’t you realize the fault’s your own again? Sabotage yourself. You missed your chance to shine, and let no opinion cloud your mind of being who you are.

I told you. I told you shut your mouth before the truth comes out. I’ll say this once, you don’t hear it enough. Your pride is trouble and it’s keeping you from love. Shut your. Shut your filthy mouth. Before. Before the truth comes out. Our hearts beat as two. Your selfishness consumes you. The taste upon my lips is turned to ash. Dead in the past.
I hope you. I hope you never learn, cus it’s none of my concern. You chained yourself to the lies that you’ve become. Broken you’ll be. And no longer hear with me. Shut your. Shut your filthy mouth. Before. Before the truth comes out. Our hearts beat as two. Your selfishness consumes you. The taste upon my lips is turned to ash. Dead in the past.

Ashes

See me run from the ashes of the bridges that I’ve burned. I’ll stay focused on the future, only taking what I earn. Feels like everything comes crashing down around me, but I won’t fall. I’ll keep my head held high. I must continue on the path before me, and never let the past suck me dry. See the broken road behind me, and the dreams that I’ve let die. A relentless reminder of the times that I have tried and failed. Come on.
Feels like everything comes crashing down around me, but I won’t fall. I’ll keep my head held high. I must continue on the path before me, and never let the past suck me dry. How could I know that one mistake could change the way I live forever? I’ll do my best. I’ll never rest until I’m back on top again. How could I know that one mistake could change the way I live forever? How could I know?
Feels like everything comes crashing down around me, but I won’t fall. I’ll keep my head held high. I must continue on the path before me, and never let the past suck me dry.

Escape From Conformity

Didn’t then, but now I see. Another sense of conformity has gotten to you. Don’t be such a fool. Don’t fall for the tricks. Cus your heart is unequipped for this endless game, to look all the same. Fight for the average way. What about diversity? Didn’t think this could be true. Thoughts of the real you. Now we’re all the same. Different then, but now we’re changed from these fashion trends. Find the start but not the end. I hope that this can be my escape from conformity. I know that you can see the fool you’ve come to be. But, false reality has taken its toll on me. Don’t put the blame on me again. Again. Push me out once you suck me in. Last time I felt good about this was when I could call you an enemy for this. But, I guess that’s the point that I miss. Looks can fool you, but we’re all the same in the end.
You can base your life on lust, or just learn how to trust. These things that you do have ripped you in two. Your selfish ways are gonna end today, along with this trick. You know it makes me sick. I hope that this can be my escape from conformity. I know that you can see the fool you’ve come to be. But, false reality has taken its toll on me. Don’t put the blame on me again. Again. Push me out once you suck me in. Last time I felt good about this was when I could call you an enemy for this. But, I guess that’s the point that I miss. Looks can fool you, but we’re all the same in the end.
Can’t ignore these things that you say. Look at me and just tell me you’re ok. The point in this has been lost on all the innocent lives that it cost. Force fed words have gone wrong. Don’t let them stay for to long. Just escape cus I know you’re better than this. I hope that this can be my escape from conformity. I know that you can see the fool you’ve come to be.

Worn To The Bone
05:29

My pains getting stronger as war drives me harder. A cold sweat of fear drips from my face. I’ve been here for so many months I can’t seem to escape. This is not where I pictured myself at just nineteen years old. My feelings have changed from calm into terror; the days so hot, the nights so cold. Dreading to stay, but afraid to leave. A world without war I can’t perceive. I regret ever wanting to kill.
I’m worn out. I’m worn to the bone. Feels like this fear is getting the best of me. I’ve never felt so alone in a war that’s ripped me away from home.
The months. They still pass, and they’re not going fast. Every day is one more eternity. The fears numbing out as I scream and I shout. Another dead brother in my arms. I’m pulling the trigger, and nothing can stop me as I take another’s life. I’m finding myself not trying to change this murderous being I have become. I have no desire to be in this place. Expressions been lifted from my face. War’s stolen the place of my good memories.
I’m worn out. I’m worn to the bone. Feels like this fear is getting the best of me. I’ve never felt so alone in a war that’s ripped me away from home.
I feel so compromised. My morals have been let go. I find my eyes wandering towards the sky. Saying a prayer to send me home. I’m worn out. I’m worn to the bone. Feels like this fear is getting the best of me. I’ve never felt so alone in a war that’s ripped me away from home. I feel so compromised. My morals have been let go. I find my eyes wandering towards the sky. Saying a prayer to send me home. A prayer to send me home.

Fallout

What have we done to this city? The sun is gone. All the life is missing. Just a crater filled with ghosts. In this fallout we’ve learned the most. What have we done? Is this all ours? All towns and houses stripped and scarred. We sure as hell let freedom ring. Our lust for power is sickening. No turning back. No saying sorry. We are all the ones to blame. And we’ll get it, our so-called victory. We’ll get it all on our judgment day.
What have we done to this city? The sun is gone. All the life is missing. Just a crater filled with ghosts. In this fallout we’ve learned the most.
No medals of honor. No shiny trophy. All that’s left is to bask in our glory. It’s kind of funny how we trying playing God. Then reality stepped in and pitted us against the odds. No turning back. No saying sorry. We are all the ones to blame. And we’ll get it, our so-called victory. We’ll get it all on our judgment day.

When we kill, we find it hard to live again with all of our graves. With all our mistakes. We are all the ones to blame. Now I’m alone. Alone.

Die For This

So here we go, this is the story as I know. My life, the sacrifice, the blood and tears amongst all these years. I felt no less, I’ve had to deal with all the messages that brought me down, I vow to turn this all around. There’s more to this than meets the eye, I’ve worked my life to call this mine. My Scars can prove I’m more than you, just watch, watch what I do.
I’ve bled for this, sacrificed for this. My pain is growing every day. I’ll die for this, I won’t leave like this, my heart won’t betray me. And still I’m pushing forward to live the life I have to lead.
Deep inside a fire burns from things I’ve lost and things that I have learned. I’ll take in stride, my lasting pride. I’ll stand up tall. I’ll never fall. You’ll be the one to push me; don’t wait to see what I become.
I won’t back down; I’ll stand my ground. There’s so much here, I can’t show my fear. They’ll never break me down again. I’ve been through hell, I almost fell, but I’ve learned to fight for what is mine. This time I’m in, I may not win, I’m gonna fight it, fight it ‘till the end.
I’ve bled for this, sacrificed for this. My pain is growing every day. I’ll die for this, I won’t leave like this, my heart won’t betray me. And still I’m pushing forward to live the life I have to lead.

They won’t take me till I’m dragged away. I’ll be screaming till they feel my pain. I’ll be strong, they’ll always be wrong; if I fall then I’ll take them all!
So Here We Go!! So Here We Go!!

Say It First

Baby we’ll fall forever and ever now. But I won’t call it love. No. Cus I don’t wanna put words in your mouth or any thoughts in your head. You should tell me instead. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you said it first. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you mean every word if you’ll just say you love me first.
Baby we’ll fall forever and ever now. But I won’t call it love. No. Cus I don’t wanna put words in your mouth. If you’re thinking it now, then just say it out loud. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you said it first. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you mean every word if you’ll just say you love me first.
Baby you’re the first girl I’ve ever thought was truly beautiful. Truly beautiful, and I want it all. And I pray everyday that this won’t fade away. As I whisper to the sky, it’s always you that’s on my mind. Always. Always you that’s on my mind.
Will I embrace the words you say, or assume they’re not meant for me? So will you still stay true, or let it all fall through? Or let it all fall through. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you said it first. Say you love me and I’ll believe you. I’ll know that you mean every word if you’ll just say you love me first. Say you love me first. Oh yeah.

How could I let it pass me by? Until I die, it’s not enough to try. To be the one who writes these songs. I’ll risk it all. You’ll never see me fall. You will see, they’ll all sing with me. For the glory and the fame. I can no longer be tamed. Let’s get this show on the road. We’re always home when we’re not alone. I’m already sold. I’ll never fold. Tell the devil I don’t need my soul.
I’ll do whatever it takes. Things are gonna go my way. Someday you’ll see. Never give up, nothing’s ever free.
Sacrifice? I’ll give my life and put the past behind me. I want the life, all the spotlight and prosperity. I won’t go down till I finish this fight. Let it go, watch it fall. To see my name in these lights. Let’s get this show on the road. We’re always home when we’re not alone. I’m already sold. I’ll never fold. Tell the devil I don’t need my soul.
I’ll do whatever it takes. Things are gonna go my way. Someday you’ll see. Never give up, nothing’s ever free.
Are you willing to give it all? Risk everything for a selfish cause. Cus I am, and I will.
One. Two. Three. Go! I’ll do whatever it takes. Things are gonna go my way. Someday you’ll see. Never give up, nothing’s ever free. Free. Free. Nothing’s ever free.
