I've lost this war I've gone too far I've lost it all Come take the fall with me Can't you see it's killing me I don't want to stop Until the well's dry and I'm dead Blood drained from my head I see their shadows in my eyes They're fucking grinning and smiling Standing and waiting for me to die They want to take me away I don't want to die Fuck all of you, I don't want to die Fuck off, I don't want to die Fuck all of you Fuck off, I don't want to die And the devil waits inside of me Waiting to come out The four horsemen will beckon the serpent inside Breaking apart shards of glass and sticking them in my eyes You can't see what you can't feel And thus I push further into the shards Oh fuck it fucking hurts I don't want to die Fuck off, it's not my time I've lost this war I've gone too far I've lost it all Come take the fall with me Can't you see it's killing me I don't want to stop Until the well's dry and I'm dead Blood drained from my head I don't want to die Fuck all of you, I don't want to die Fuck off, I don't want to die Fuck all of you Fuck off, I don't want to die And the devil waits inside of me Waiting to come out The four horsemen will beckon the serpent inside Breaking apart shards of glass and sticking them in my eyes You can't see what you can't feel And thus I push further into the shards

I pour currently a shot of seething Loaded into the revolving chamber Taken alive So that you know it'll be alright when you arrive Taken alive Fear in my eyes Bleeding so slight Fear in my eyes I see the shadows in the alleyways I want to give them piece of mind I pour currently a shot of seething Loaded into the revolving chamber Blow this whore away Speeding bullet, lucky spray Head from her neck, it will separate I will give in just to separate Suppose it did, suppose Juxtapose positions and join the neck Push and berate Summoning into the eye Into, into what we expected A needle sedating me I can't say I didn't see this coming I pour currently a shot of seething Loaded into the revolving chamber Taken alive So that you know it'll be alright when you arrive Taken alive A needle sedating me I can't say I didn't see this coming Blow this whore away Speeding bullet, lucky spray Head from her neck, it will separate I will give in just to separate Give in just to

To sever, impossible Shellshock I've seen this before Blow it out your cranium Pull the trigger Or pull down another drink It'll end in the same result Blow it out your cranium Pull the trigger All's fair in love and war Who ever said life was easy No one but me Take another lesson from this life before you fall Blown apart in pieces from the pain of it all If I can't change your mind then no one will Choosy fucking bitches taking hits and throwing pitches Trying to convince us we're the fucking problem To sever, impossible Shellshock I've seen this before Blow it out your cranium Pull the trigger Or pull down another drink It'll end in the same result Blow it out your cranium Pull the trigger All's fair in love and war Who ever said life was easy Hear the sound of your body breaking Feel your veins as you overdose I'm in the ICU holding a picture of you Wishing this headache would go away Closing one eye, keeping one open Nicotine and alcohol rush through my veins My brain feels good When you die over and over again What's the point, never do right Fuck everything and stick a knife in your eye Life fucking hurts, pain feels nice Take it all away before the reaper sets his price

Skin Unit 03:45
Crying won't save you from this pain But maybe dying will You are just too soft to die Scars and all you're beautiful Even if you can't breathe anymore Blue skin suits your style anyway Skin so soft Peel it off Eyes so wide Deer in lights So innocent, so misled Rape I will take the stride To defend what's left of you Broken from the drugs and the fucking and the death A sympathetic whore destroying everything that's left Cursing all her family not blaming for her own When will you take responsibility for your wrongs It's all too predictable Tears of agony Wipe them away This means war to everyone except you Blissfully ignorant to your immediate surroundings And as you crash and burn Remember my charred face on the grave So innocent, so misled Rape

This City 04:24
Drove downtown to meet you How I look down to greet your visage Flushed in emotions, never ending This disease of life, ever spreading It's much colder up here Remember how you could see your breath in the wind I'm sure you loved that But I can't be to sure what you love anymore This city is overflowing With death, scum, disease I miss this city with all my heart Kept me from the nightmares in my head I see images of death I see everyone I love dead It's much colder up here Remember how you could see your breath in the wind I'm sure you loved that And the more people killed, this city within The more I feel comfortable in my own skin Those dead and forgotten To care just as we do, breathe in this cold air Let it chill your lungs It feels good to just let go Don't feel sorry for yourself If I can't smash your face myself Let the smoke do it instead My condition is wasting me away Grab your shoes, we're going home I don't know where I don't know how But wherever we decide to end up now Let's make sure the air is uneasy You don't want comfort, you don't want peace Then leave this city, then leave my home Fuck you anyway, you were never there A spirit, ghost of the past, flicker of hope This city is overflowing With death, scum, disease I miss this city with all my heart Kept me from the nightmares in my head Drove downtown to meet you How I look down to greet your visage Sickly in image, rotting inside You took my life and my city away from me

I've made an effort to make it this far What's stopping me now A rock and a hard place Maybe if I read between the lines I'll discover what I'm looking for A hopeless romantic hopelessly searching Searching for someone to put me out of my misery Found it once, left my view I am lost, where are you "Don't do it" The fucking gunshot reverberates around the room Left a voicemail of it so she hears it too I hope she breaks down crying thinking of my death It's too late, never again will she waste her breath Misery Fuck Give me a break, give a rest give me something My ship is sinking and all I have is wanting Misery Fuck you What the fuck have I done to you Everything maybe "Don't do it" The fucking gunshot reverberates around the room Left a voicemail of it so she hears it too I hope she breaks down crying thinking of my death It's too late, never again will she waste her breath Maybe if I read between the lines I'll discover what I'm looking for A hopeless romantic hopelessly searching Searching for someone to put me out of my misery Budd don't

For too long I've been wandering These barren lands of hope and dreams You were supposed to drag me out alive Not mangle me, not play games with my corpse My heart's already dead but still you claw I can see your eyes are dead, staring me in my soul Grey and black is all I see but colour doesn't please me anymore Stab me with my own knife, fight me for my own life I won't play your charade anymore This ends now I can see your eyes are dead, staring me in my soul Grey and black is all I see but colour doesn't please me anymore Stab him with his own knife, fight him for his own life You were supposed to drag me out alive Not mangle me, not play games with my corpse My heart's already dead but still you claw I won't play your charade anymore This ends now

You're such a fucking disgrace So many years of tormenting my soul Oh but you want to see me bleed You like it when I'm keeling at my deathbed That face of yours will never be forgotten I'll re-encounter it when I arrive in hell This blood is on your hands Make sure you remember my legacy This blood is on your hands My death will follow you for all eternity I want to see you bleed before I take my own life Bleed I'm not allowed to take off, I've got to stay here My place is one with the pain and all the suffering Or so I'm led to believe, it's all bullshit Plenty of fish in a sea of blood and hatred Sate hate, hate fate You're such a fucking disgrace So many years of tormenting my soul Oh but you want to see me bleed You like it when I'm keeling at my deathbed That face of yours will never be forgotten I'll re-encounter it when I arrive in hell It's so enticing to ruin everything Gets so tiring having everything fall in line I never wanted things to be simple and nice Just a little understanding, now this blood will spill This blood is on your hands Make sure you remember my legacy This blood is on your hands My death will follow you for all eternity I want to see you bleed before I take my own life Bleed This blood will be on your hands

I've got a fire here for people like you Life is your game and I'm not gonna play it So sorry for elation and madness But I won't apologise for making you sane It's all a waste of time, trying to explain this world All it takes is one fuck up then you're in the dirt No remorse, 9 months of pure agony I don't care if you never get back to me You spit your putrid lies, who am I supposed to trust The face in the mirror or the voices in my head Fuck every last dreaming body's last hope Nothing's worth losing and nothing's worth fighting for Fuck every last dreaming body's last hope Open your eyes, you have to see this Wake up you fucking disgrace We're so alone, aren't you afraid Afraid of dying in vain I'm not gonna sit here and take this It's my place and I let you give me shit So long have I waited for one thing A heart to heart with someone as fucked as me I've got a fire here for people like you Life is your game and I'm not gonna play it You spit your putrid lies, who am I supposed to trust The face in the mirror or the voices in my head So sorry for elation and madness But I won't apologise for making you sane It's all a waste of time, trying to explain this world All it takes is one fuck up then you're in the dirt No remorse, 9 months of pure agony I don't care if you never get back to me I will never forgive you Fuck you and fuck your heart I will never forgive you The guilt of a suicide will weigh on your life

Martyr 03:18
I'm prepared to die for you Where is my god, take me to him I have some questions that pain me within Why does it hurt, why can't I feel Did Jesus die for my right to free will I don't want money, I don't want fame All I want is just to die in peace Too much to ask for and not enough to give You let me down on my one chance to live Smite me the fuck down on this very ground If you don't bring back what once has been found Too much to ask for and not enough to give You let me down on my one chance to live Where is your god, take me to him I want to maim him and fuck him to death You let me down, you caused my pain Fuck every do-gooder praising his name Where is my god, take me to him I have some questions that pain me within Why does it hurt, why can't I feel Did Jesus die for my right to free will I don't want money, I don't want fame All I want is just to die in peace I can't change this fucking state of mind You will understand when you're left behind And over again it revolves The picture is never complete Killed for what I believe in A better life and a better home Serves us right for hoping We deserve nothing, you deserve nothing Smite me the fuck down on this very ground If you don't bring back what once has been found Too much to ask for and not enough to give You let me down on my one chance to live I can't change this fucking state of mind You will understand when you're left behind
