A crippled walk
and paralyzed, inside
you learn the truth
and don't ask why, I tried
but every word I ever heard
was a lie
take the abuse and
get used to being used
say you like to be beat
atonement and lifeless defeat
an ice cold soul
you cut all ties spitting fire
try and stay clean
of strong desires, I tried
but every time
I fall back in, getting higher
I take the abuse and
get used to being used
and in the end I still don't know you
I thought I did but that was not true
I'll take revenge or be above you
let evil win or let love come through?
and in the end I still don't know you
I thought I did but that was not true
I'll take revenge or be above you
let evil win or let love come through?
and in the end I still don't know you
I thought I did but that was not true
I'll take revenge or be above you
let evil win or let love come through?
and in the end I still don't know you
I thought I did but that was not true
I'll take revenge or be above you
let evil win or let love come through?

Ask

you cut my throat
I'm bleeding out just because
I hear a voice
I'm waking up delirious
he knows too much
don't speak about it
an open secret
my minds too crowded
my thoughts all in a knot
don't ask me why
cause ill just lie
no rhyme or reason
go to sleep my son
another day of playing a game
my hands are tied
I'm burning out
sinking in doubt and I'm fried
my lifes a joke
I'm just a job you wanted someones soul to rob
my thoughts all in a knot
don't ask me why
cause ill just lie
no rhyme or reason
go to sleep my son
don't ask me why
cause ill just lie
no rhyme or reason
go to sleep my son

Coming Down
01:50

feel like I should just run
and now I'm coming down
you say it's all in my head
but whys it so damn loud?
you and me should be all I want to see
you and me should be all I want to be
and at the sight of everything
I just suffocate
the world is playing tricks on me
every fucking day
and everything's pulling me
separate ways
and everything's pulling me
separate ways
and if I live to see the day
I open up my eyes
will everything just go away?
all the judging and lies
and everything's pulling me
separate ways
the worlds playing tricks on me
every fucking day
It's all a lie a lie a lie
and now I'm falling

Deception

all I need right now
is something else than deception
cause I get so tired
of all the lies that your telling
your voodoo is strong
the game I was born right into since day one
you got me all wrong
so take your dagger from my chest
tell me all your secrets cause i already know em all
and why the fuck are you here? like your my mother?
I can only be
who I am not who you want me to be
right now I'm feeling weak
when I lay down I feel like I can sleep for weeks
why did you run from me like I had a gun?
why do you run from me like I got a gun?
I can only try, do em all
now I've been a thief
homeless and an addict
and there ain't nothing
glamorous about it
but some days its too strong
holding me down
like nails through my hands on a cross
now I ain't jesus son
but some days I feel like I could
tell me all your secrets cause i already know em all
and why the fuck are you here? like your my mother?
I can only be
who I am not who you want me to be
right now I'm feeling weak
when I lay down I feel like I can sleep for weeks
why did you run from me like I had a gun?
why do you run from me like I got a gun?
why did you run from me like I had a gun?
why do you run from me like I got a gun?

curse em all now you feel like me
watch em fall now you look like me
the devils tall got me in his sleeper hold
and that light keeps fading
cut up straws plastic bags and chemicals
you done it all whatever keeps the game away
but not for long look the other way
could you care? could you want my love?
is this real? a life spent in handcuffs
and I'm trapped in a burning box
no one helps they just pick at your scars
force taught it all now fuck em up like they fucked with you
my nine to five is simply staying alive
and welcome to hell now
get into your own cell
into your cell
can't escape it
or run away it'll still find you
breathing down ya neck
like someone uninvited living in you
and this can't be right?
all I know is god's on my side
god's on my side
could you care? could you want my love?
is this real? a life spent in handcuffs
and I'm trapped in a burning box
no one helps they just pick at your scars
could you care? could you want my love?
is this real? a life spent in handcuffs
and I'm trapped in a burning box
no one helps they just pick at your scars

Blind
03:26

I might not ever know
I'm going through life blind
I might not ever see the finish line
I had to learn to be brave
and ignore what they're saying
I might just be afraid of you rejecting me
but somehow I still get by
hoping one day I just might
finally see where I am going
and you'll never know why
I'm so dead inside
stole the soul right out of me
to face this place alone
I wouldn't wish on my own
worst enemy this world takes a toll
and give me a different roll
to play away from all this shit
to wake up on another day
aware of all of it
but somehow I still get by
hoping one day I just might
finally see where I am going
and you'll never know why
I'm so dead inside
stole the soul right out of me
but somehow I still get by
hoping one day I just might
finally see where I am going
and you'll never know why
I'm so dead inside
stole the soul right out of me

Trust Issues

trust issues and i'm learning
that I cant lean on you like I used to
thrown away like the garbage
deception stinking up the place with the fumes
don't you ever wanna know?
don't you ever wanna see?
these hazel eyes again?
and whats killing me?
got no other place to go
got no other place to be
the devil's in the details
and hes winking at me
keep keep keeping me alive
be my hero tonight
I can't seem to get it all right
keep keep keeping me alive
keep keep keeping me alive
be my hero tonight
I can't seem to get it all right
keep keep keeping me alive
keep keep keeping me alive
I don't know what it is and why?
keep keep keeping me alive
I don't know what it is and why?
overthinking every worry
it's making sure that you can't sleep at night
waste my breath saying sorry
all you seem to wanna do is fight
every single thing I do
every little thing I've done
is never good enough
these problems weigh a ton
tell me what I'm waiting for
tell me what I'm waiting on
I try to choose wise words
but my emotions won
keep keep keeping me alive
be my hero tonight
I can't seem to get it all right
keep keep keeping me alive
keep keep keeping me alive
be my hero tonight
I can't seem to get it all right
keep keep keeping me alive
keep keep keeping me alive
I don't know what it is and why?
keep keep keeping me alive
I don't know what it is and why?
