Ego Trip
03:54

|
I’ve been trying to change
but something’s in the way
and every time I try it is
exactly the same
round and round in circles
lost within this maze
to survive and exist
for another day
I’ve got something in me
begging to be free
picking at the scabs
until they’re raw and they bleed
the devil inside
fulfilling every need
of the want and the lust
taking over me
You get what you deserve
When I get what I need
someones bound to get hurt
well that someones not me
Too much time to think
and not enough to react
and every single times
another knife in the back
So twist it once or twice
you know you know you love it
the power it gives on the ego trip
I see things it seems
that no one else can see
the beauty and the horror
in the tragedy
Of all the things you aren’t
and all you wish you could be
when everything you’ve ever wanted
is within your reach
You get what you deserve
When I get what I need
someones bound to get hurt
Well that someones not me
So come on down
if you dare
Its always waiting
It is always near
So come on down
if you dare
throw it all away
and face the one that you fear
My train of thoughts a train wreck
and its off the rails
I have to stay focused
or Im going to fail
then everything’s for nothing
as well nothing is gained
wasting your life forever unchanged
I know something you don’t
just between you and me
you’ll find out soon enough
if you are truly lucky
and when you least expect it
be expecting me
you’ll finally find out
exactly who I can be
You get what you deserve
When I get what I need
someones bound to get hurt
well that someones not me

Deceived

Tell me how I’m supposed to feel
comprehend cope or even deal
or even try to begin to apologize
for the way that I am almost all of the time
and
I’ve been trying with out prevail
you know you fail to plan you better plan to fail
cause there’s nothing but sky above you
and the quick sand below your feet
and I’ve finally come just to trust in the plan
that’s its complicated and I’ll probably never understand
that I’m an animal
who identifies as a human
but that’s just who I appear to be
and that’s one thing that everybody fails to see
that there’s something’s wrong with me
I got the whole fucking world deceived
how I got this far is luck I suppose
you can start on the bottom but it only goes to show
that
you will always be alone
living life as someone you barely know
and
now its time to stop and try to face the facts
no ones ever coming back no point in living in the past
because its over
and
no one ever gets a second chance
but that doesn’t mean you’re forgotten and lost
because everything in life has always come at a cost
it could be nothing
it could be everything you’ve ever know
and I cant help all these thoughts that I think
they crawl into my head and occupy the space between
and now there’s something wrong with me
I got the whole fucking world deceived
I cant promise the sky won't fall
or that the sun wont rise tomorrow after its said and done
but I know for certain there’s one thing you can never out run
no matter how hard you try to escape the person you’ve become
Just hold on tight until the bitter end
never surrender never sell out don’t you ever give in
and I know for certain one day all the pieces will fit
and this will all finally make perfect sense

Scapegoat
03:37
|

|
I’m no angel
I know I’m no saint
I've dealt in lies
while giving into the hate
I’m not surprised
what else should I think
cause all this time
I've been running away from me
You’re no angel
You know your ain’t no saint
everything that you’ve ever touched
it just withers away
I’m not surprised
why should I be
cause all this time
You’ve been trying
trying to fuck over me
I wont take the fall
without you by my side
You can’t blame me and save yourself
when youre just as guilty,
Just as guilty as I

Redacted

Falling through the cracks in the sky
Looking for the reasons that I know that I’ll never find
After all of this time
I should have know that it would always been you
Digging through the gaps in my mind
taking every memory and redacting every line
how could I have I known
Id be the scape goat that you chose
And god only knows
What the hell I’ve done
And god only knows
but he swears he wont tell anyone
Looking through the holes in the wall
a glimpse into a future that I wont remember at all
but it doesn’t matter
because the reality is even sadder
So one more time we dance in the dark
clawing at our flesh until we tear ourselves apart
and in the end
I never said that's I was innocent
And god only knows
What the hell I’ve done
And god only knows
but he swears he wont tell anyone
close my eyes and cross my heart
we fade away when lies are all there are
we cant go back we carry on with the pain
(but) if you could would there be something you would have changed
I’ll cross my heart while waiting to die
the sisters of mercy walking by my side
and
the angel of death coming from up above
taking all the sins that she swears
she wont tell any one
come on down
tell anyone

Waste

I'd like to say just one more thing
before I leave
I can't quite find the words
so I'll just say what I mean
Do you ever think
About the time we waste
we just watched it dissapear
Before we were aware
That it's gone
down the black hole
erased from the light of day
Like that black hole
black as our souls
lost in the dark of space
to waste away
I don't really want to leave this place
but it's geting old
All this fighting and screaming won't heal
the scars on our souls
Have you ever thought
Before you shot your mouth off
As you sounded so sincere
As your words pierced through the air
Now you're gone
through the black hole
erased from the light of day
Like that black hole
black as your soul
lost in the dark of space
waiting to be saved
while you waste away
The moments come my time has past
so I'll be on my way
I hope you can understand
I never wanted it to end this way
Can you hear me scream
(God damn it!)
I'm finally free
Beyond the astral plane
on to a higher place
On the other side
of the black hole
a soul without a name
Like that black hole
black as my soul
with no time left to change
the things I left to waste
away

This Way
03:32

I tried to sell my soul
but it wasn’t really worth a damn
Almost got on my knees to pray
but I didn’t see me doing that
I learned to beg borrow and steal
I was only trying to survive
I learned to fake being real
case that’s the only time I really feel alive
Come on down and let your ego die
kill your self esteem and save someone the time
Come on down you lucky guy
you’re so full of life but you’re dying inside
Come on down and see what its like
To not be you and be who ever you like
Come on down you lucky guy
Lucky you this is your lucky night
There are many ways
to try and block out the pain
but the sharp sustain
of the ringing in my ears from the voices a stray
Ive tried to stop and refrain
the words in my mouth from uttering the phrase
I was not this way
but this is who I am and I like me this way
Come on down and let your ego die
kill your self esteem and save someone the time
Come on down you lucky guy
you’re so full of life but you’re dying inside
Come on down and see what its like
To not be you and be who ever you like
Come on down you lucky guy
Lucky you this is your lucky night

Oblivionous

If you should see me
In the company of complete despair
I should warn you
I’m gonna say some things
You won’t want to hear
Now you know
What you’re are expecting and accepting
Who could ask for more
Yet there’s something off about this
But I can’t quite tell for sure
So on Come on down
Why don’t ya
Don’t you know
That the water is fine
Don’t you hold your breath
And don’t worry
I won’t hold mine
And this is who we are
Falling yet holding on
We fight to the death and then back again
With handfuls of ammo and a trail of the dead
and all the pain that we suffer and the loss and regret
We do it to ourselves and then we just seem to forget
You’ve been mumbling in whispers
And you keep talking in your sleep
But when you’re right beside me
It’s intriguing that you don’t make a peep
And now you waste away the hours
inventing ways to keep busy
Cause out of sight and mind
is exactly where you want me to be
So ill come on down and join you
Cause the darkness is where you reside
Hide with in your shadows
consumed and cannibalized
And this is who we are
Falling yet holding on
We fight to the death and back again
Handfuls of ashes from the hell we inflict
All the pain that we suffer and the loss of regret
We do it to ourselves and then we fall in love again
