BUILT FOR DEATH
In a time where faith is hollow
As a town that was left far behind
Where hope was something of value
That was stamped out by power and lies
It is said that love will conquer
And erase all the hurt of mankind
But it’s left us cold in the shadows
And the sun has fell from the sky
I have always known
All things must come to an end
But I still fight
For a chance to survive
Still waiting…wait for a change
Still bleeding…times running out
And we wait for the answers
And pray for a change
Years of our lives are always spent
Looking backwards…
But the thread of our souls
Are pulled to they snap and they break
Its time we wake up
And realize we must move forward
How much longer can we go on living like this?
I have always known
All things must come to an end
But I still fight
For a chance to survive
Still waiting…wait for a change
Still bleeding…times running out
Inside this darkened shadow
Our heartbeats move in time
Cast out from a world of sorrow
That’s bounded in horror and lies
The streets are filled with violence
There is no safe place to hide
We watch as buildings crumble
And innocence falters and dies
I have always known
All things must come to and end
But I still fight for a chance to survive

CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
I never left you waiting for clarity
But you kept me searching for an end
This vast void has become my sanctuary
My heart holds valor to this bleak nothingness
And a thousand heartaches will never match this pain inside
This burden I carry…this so called fucking life
I carry the weight of the world
I’ve burned those memories I’ve buried myself alive
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
You spend a lifetime trying to find the answer
I’ve wasted years wasted tears on your lies
And a thousand heartaches will never match this pain inside
This burden I carry…this so called fucking life
I carry the weight of the world
I’ve burned those memories I’ve buried myself alive
Behind her dead eyes memories of mine
I never left you
But you kept me searching
This so called fucking life
Memories of mine…
I never left you waiting for clarity
But you kept me searching for an end
And a thousand heartaches will never match this pain inside
This burden I carry…this so called fucking life
I carry the weight of the world
I’ve burned those memories I’ve buried myself alive

FRACTURES
We’re getting nowhere in seeking out our dreams
Still living in the past with nothing left behind
These mirrors are staring back at you they paint an ugly face
But silhouettes of yesterday still hold their place
Fractures of our lives remain
I’ve tried to change you
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone else
You can’t undo ruin by ignoring the truth
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone…
You’re holding onto demons you have inside
Pull from the turmoil or is it too late to hide?
These mirrors are staring back at you they paint an ugly face
But silhouettes of yesterday still hold their place
Fractures of our lives remain
Fractures of our lives remain
I’ve tried to change you
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone else
You can’t undo ruin by ignoring the truth
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone else
I see the faces of a thousand broken hearts
I count the traces that tore them all apart
They all lead back to you
And everything you’ve put us through
Now face the mirror and see the truth
And kiss yourself goodbye one last time
This tourniquet is shutting out the night
I’ve tried to change you
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone else
You can’t undo ruin by ignoring the truth
But you’re the one who knows yourself
Better than anyone else
Fractures of our lives remain

BREAK THE ILLUSION

BREAK THE ILLUSION
I’ve seen destruction laid waste to innocence
From the hearts of the weary
To the mouths of dissidents
You’ve blazed this trail of suffering
You’ve condemned lives again
I will never surrender myself
You won’t betray me
And never fucking forget
You will never escape me
You’ve lined your pockets with this unjust war
From the frontlines of heartache
To the loss of what we’re fighting for
I can’t see the end of this war in sight
The wolves are closing in the vultures are descending
Deliver us from a world of sorrow
Give us strength to make a stand
These desert winds are calling our names
I will prevail and you know…
I will never surrender myself
You won’t betray me
And never fucking forget
You will never escape me

RED TIDES
Starring back to the beginning of the end
I’ve looked past all the faces that are dead
Turned myself inside out
To find you hiding in the darkness again
This time I’ve found you this time I’m no letting go
Tore apart the pages to find no end
Choke on the words of this pain and regret
My lungs collapse to the weight of this debt
Sink beneath the current
I find myself consumed in darkness again
This time I’ve found you this time I’m no letting go
Tore apart the pages to find no end
Cut the throats tear apart the heartless
See the truth descending and follow
We’re looking back
We’re looking so sad as we go…
Your words are like daggers
I feel the undertow pulling me to the depths
This time I’ve found you this time I’m no letting go
Tore apart the pages to find no end
Cut the throats tear apart the heartless
See the truth descending and follow
We’re looking back
We’re looking so sad as we go…
The phantoms of your soul lurk beneath red tides
Hallow behind those bleeding eyes

FALL UPON A TRAGEDY
The lightning crashes
The memories began to fade
The rain is falling
My feelings wash away
Just look inside of me
There’s nothing left to see
Only a saddened hope
Of what I used to be
There was a time
When my world was full of love
But that has gone away
And never to return
The mistakes that I made
Still haunt me to this day
This is my tragedy
This is what its like
To be lonely
I have never been
So far from the light
I will never know
What it’s like to love again?
I stared into your eyes
Your eyes that bled for me
The way you held me close
And I took your love for granted.

WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD

WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD
My thoughts of you
Clouded by obscurity
Empty through and through
No feelings within my soul
The swarm of your lies
Infest all that I am
Your blood soaked smile
Paralyses leaves me for dead
There is a sickness that lies within our souls
Murderer
Your disease has infected the righteous
Torturer
Killing the weak with your touch
My thoughts of you
Clouded by broken promises
Empty through and through
No feelings within my soul
Murderer
Your disease has infected the righteous
Torturer
Killing the weak with your touch
There is a sickness that lies within our souls
And the wage of sin
The swarm of your lies
Infest all that I am
Paralyses leaves me for dead
You murderer we are the walking dead
Murderer
Your disease has infected the righteous
Torturer
Killing the weak with your touch
The swarm of your lies
Infest all that I am
We are the walking the dead

TO THE NIGHT
Lost and all alone
But I can see
That you’re leaving
And I say in my mind
Was it my lies that kept you running?
You can’t feel what’s in my heart and my mind
And to the night we gave our memories
And in the light we shared our hopes and dreams
And you see with false eyes
And realize that it’s worthless
And to the night we gave our memories
Memories of this
And in the light we shared our hopes and dreams
Tear away from this pain inside
That embraces my will to die
Casting shadows of blood red skies
As I lose myself to the night
