"Kings" Will Fall
01:44

An obsession with impression
Perception of perfection
The embodiment of an illusion
You fear the thought of another rejection
A fragile mind inside a glass temple
Ironic for someone so judgmental
One stone would make you shatter
And trickle down the social ladder
A crooked crown rests upon your head
Past friendships are left for dead
Befriended others to get to the top
Just to have another name for you to drop
Soon you’ll slip, and hard you’ll fall
In the end
You’ve lost it all
Return to bridges that you have burned
To find your well being is not their concern
Now you sit in all your glory
Stuck in social purgatory
Trust is what you chose to abuse
And friends are what you fucking lose
You fucking lose

Who Gets The Last Laugh
01:15

In my desire to heal
Every bump, every cut I feel
Past events replay in my head
Will they persist until the day that I'm dead?
We wait for time to pass
But time’s the one who gets the last laugh
Another burning feeling in my gut
And another night where my eyes don’t shut
(The) ceiling resembles blank pages
Been looking for help in all the wrong places
Recite every detail night after night
Yet there’s still no clear answer in sight
(Of) when these feelings will go away
(So) These sleepless nights are here to stay
The strength of time has lost all appeal
In disbelief that this wound will ever heal

Back At The Start
01:49
|
|

Sometimes life’s like a never ending race
That I can’t seem to win
When I think that I’m finally ahead
my luck starts to run thin
Try my hardest to pick up the pace
lately I can’t seem to pull my weight
Further I stray from the finish line
While the world leaves me behind
Motivation is what I lack
Everyday there’s another setback
Searching for a purpose to carry on
Negative thoughts have grown too strong
Another day
Another Night
Lost another battle in this fight
Just when I feel something in my heart
Once again it falls apart
And now it just feels like I’m
Back at the start

Reflections
01:24
|
|
||
In a flash you disappeared without a trace
Your body remains but I can’t recognize your face
A burning fire has replaced your eyes
Now stands two strangers lost in a sea full of sighs
A thunderous storm begins to loom
As glares crash in this cross crowded room
I sit and reflect on the last time we spoke
Those words on which I choke
Jeopardized a friendship
A bond once strong
Over a matter of who’s right and who’s wrong
Regretful decisions, actions misread
Have led to words better left unsaid
Crossed too many lines that were drawn in the sand
Instead of taking a second to understand
That It takes a moment for the air to clear
To right my wrongs, My apology is sincere

An Open Letter
01:00
|
|

At any moment
Your whole life can turn around
I’ll be here Through your ups and downs
Don’t feel discouraged
About the problems you face
You’ll get through it
Just at your own pace
Never be afraid to ask for help
Who cares what others think
Think about yourself
All the strength that you need is
Within yourself
You need to stop living as if your life is on a shelf
Gotta brush yourself off and take a deep breath
Only Then you’ll realize there’s more to life than an early death
I know it’s hard to push through
But you need to break free
Riddled with self hate
and negativity
I’ll stay by your side
Like you did for me
Without you in my life I don’t know where
I would be

What You Have To Offer
01:18
|
|
||
Looked down upon for thinking different
I rather not be a clone
You don’t have to walk by my side
I can walk on my fucking own
What you have to offer
Is worth less than you think
Lack empathy
Full of greed
We are two minds out of sync
Narcissistic tendencies
Puts yourself above all
Unable to sympathize with others
Will eventually be your downfall
What you have to offer
Is worth less than you think
Lack empathy
Full of greed
We are two minds out of sync

Land of The Free
01:11
|
|
||
Innocent people die almost every day
Just because they look a certain way
Some are attacked over who they love
And who they believe resides up above
Fascist ideals turned (into) reality
Is that what they meant by the land of the free?
Color of skin
Holds more weight than a degree
Right here in the land of Hypocrisy
Politicians try to determine a person's worth
And question a woman’s choice to not give birth
Police will strike you down for freedom of speech
Yet terrorists with guns continue to walk these streets
Open your eyes
And take a look around
It’s not hard to see
What's going down
(A nation) blinded by hate
and full of bigotry
You say “Why should I care, it doesn’t affect me”
Well think
Think about why you should fucking care
Riot squads line the streets
People can’t afford to eat
Kids taken from families
Mothers cry in agony
Another person has been shot
Will this violence ever stop?
They don't care about you or me
Just another day in the land of the free

Drown
02:04
|
|

Without warning the rain pours down
Clouds darken this lively town
The colorful sky has turned dark grey - Yet
I’m the only one who sees it this way
Water starts to fill my lungs
I can’t catch my breath
My body starts to panic
In fear of what feels like death
Lost sense of my surroundings
I've forgotten how to speak
White noise is all I hear
Feet cemented in the street
Try your hardest to run away
You’ll soon realize there’s no escape
The flood wall has been torn down
In this Merciless Tide you just…
Drown
