Tracks



01. A Trigger Full Of Promises

Do you forgive me?
You never lost your sight
So scream your heart out
To reject one more TIME

This tragic, need for hope
Won't give up
It's what, keeps us alive
Now who will survive
In this game of chance
Now hold out your hand
And give me
This final kiss

If I load this gun, would you hold in your heart and give your life for love?

So bleed (SO BLEED)
This hate (THIS HATE)
With me
And fight these broken dreams

If I load this gun, would you give your life for love?

So bleed (SO BLEED)
This hate (THIS HATE)
With me
And fight these broken dreams!

This is more than hopeless romantics
I will never let it die
I walk the line
And your daybreak eyes
The whispers,
And the brand new scars
The brand new scars

Do you forgive me?
We will never let this die
We scream our hearts out
To reject one more TIME

If I load this gun, could you hold it to your heart and give your life, your love?

So bleed,
This hate
With me
And fight these broken dreams

So bleed
This hate
And fight these broken dreams

If I load this gun will you hold it to your heart and give your life for love?

So bleed (SO BLEED)
This hate (THIS HATE)
With me
And fight these broken dreams
And fight these broken dreams

And fight
FIGHT
FIGHT
FIGHT
FIGHT

These broken dreams

02. I Know Hollywood And You Ain't It

Your mechanical eyes show how empty you are inside
Night after night you walk through the door searching hoping, rotting and dying
What about this life keeps you going
Are you willing to kill this
One after another you line up to seen
Hollow, wide eyed, drama queen
Are you willing to kill this cheap show

If you are looking for the time of your life you've got it
Searching, hoping and slowly rotting if you are looking for the time
You've got it
All dolled up your selling and buying lies you buy their lies
Let's kill this cheap creep show

To all boys and girls with empty mouth and empty hands
What would you give to have it all to all the boys and girls what
Would you give to have it all
You've got look your best
Dress to impress if you're going to sell us the perfect image

03. And Hope To Die

The world been against you from day one
Tomorrows never promised, night has just begun
So sing with me we're all fucked
Cause this your hell and this is your heaven
Unlearn what you know burn all you've been give

I sing this song hoping that you still care
Cause we still care
That all the broken dreamers are living this nightmare

This was written when my heart and mind defined contradiction
There was nothing I could have done those days play on and on
Now I cannot see what's written on your grave
I saw the white flag raised from miles away

I'm sorry not being there
Twice in one year

You must have felt so alone
Terrified of a hollowed home
The only thing hopeless is death
Desperate hope made you cry out
Someone end the pain
The only thing hopeless is death

04. Plastic

A damage past is haunting me
Creeps in won't let me breather
I can't quite grasp psychotic thoughts (and me) the troubles lie beneath
We won't back down its far too late
Paying the price of endless pain our love, our hate
Which on will you embrace

Now I can't pretend
To live this life of plastic happiness
This plastic happiness

Because one chance is all we get to kill the questions in our minds
Just one more chance to turn around this life

Break through the structure that we see
Reach true surroundings that we seek
And force the path we know is right
This won't conquer quietly
We won't back down its far too late
Paying the price of endless pain our love, our hate

Which on will you embrace

I'm so sad to say I've watched this tragedy take everything away from me
I write words for my own survival
If you don't hear them then they mean nothing at all

I won't live like this
In plastic happiness

05. Try Fail Respect

It's time to take back your life
So what if we showed an unbuttoned smile
Could it break the lock to our true thoughts of insecurities
That we never speak

How about we love ourselves without underlying hatred
Respect for one another, no battle scars told
That means friends are not come and go
No overwhelming dramatic ending

We will try, we will try, we will try,
It's time to start the change, what do you say
Our lives at stake

So raise your glass up high we're through with bitter alibis
Here's to new beginnings that need no fixing first
Here's to a romantic life of bittersweet compromise
A lifetime full of endings that smile at what were worth

Shout out how you feel, listen to yourself
Throw away pieces your unresolved crash course
Will depend on me, reckless with purpose
Work towards living a life worth living right

Here's to new beginnings
For what its worth

06. The Haunted

We must survive

This is a wake up call
To all who their eyes
This is our hope,
Hopeless beaten strife

You kill the messenger not to hear it
It doesn't mean it never happened
It doesn't mean it never happened

This is our mission statement to go show the world
We must survive

We've been dealt
There's nothing left to chance
And the ending of this story
Is not filled with catchy hooks
So save your
It will all be o.k. anthems
And it's not getting any better
No it's not getting any better

This is where we stand
I hope you're ready to end this tragedy

07. And The Dead Walk Again

Sick and tired
Of unlucky days
Many time life trick or treats
With heartache and chage
Like a broken record,
Nothing clever to play

I'm no good they say
What am I fighting for
Pack your bags
And hit the streets
With these dirty vocal chords
That will never be in key

These empty streets and dreams
You're not there looking for me
Walking dead

The only glory is the end

To crash into life
One more day alone
To hold the failures
That are my own
I've looked at my existence
I want out
Left torn down in our tracks
Where's your saving grace now?

The battle good vs. evil
Never come out on top
Hides behind misconception
This world turned itself on

My sanity is nowhere to be found
Walking dead

Only glory is revenge
Where's your saving grace now?

08. Another Day, Another Idiot

I wonder why
Every time I see you
You hold your head up high

So surface,
So obvoius,
You're holding nothing inside

You're a waste of time
I've had enough
Why don't I help you out
Cause I'm tired
Of choking down your mouth

Your shallow existence is tired and old

Now you don't have to call me out
That's something I'll proudly do on my own
I have a past, I've made mistakes
Love and lost, hurt a few in my time
I've made some promises
With remorse I fell back on my words
I have only had regrets
If there was no lesson to be learned

And I won't forget the disasters I've counted on most
And I won't let this self-destructive bomb explode

These qualities are mine
I have a few unlike you
I work to be a better me
You're self righteous
What could you possibly say

Here's to my enemies
I wouldn't have it any other way

09. No Saving Me

Inside these broken lines
A disruption of our lives
Insanity kicks in
And all I see is another dead end
So close your eyes
And escape from what you hide

How long will I take to bleed
These is no saving me
How far will you go to hold on

I'm better off cutting my own throat
In hope for once
That you might hear me
I know I can at least count
On the mess never judging me
I'm breaking out from all I've come to be

Alone I've gone through hell
And back to try to feel
And there is no saving me

10. Welcome Home

A mother of three
A woman buried somewhere underneath
Sings a sad lullaby
Forever burned inside their minds

Her nights are diseased
Another one full of whiskey and men
To uphold her complacency

As she's down
On her praying hands and knees
Crying out

With her key in hand
She opens where her real night begins
Who could have known
That he pushed the pain this far
WIth a gun and venom in his veins
He screamed, try your best
Save her kids, give her life;
Rip open his wrongs that will never be set right

As she's down
On her praying hands and knees
Crying out
Her daughter pleads
Daddy don't

With an itchy trigger
He focused on her instead,
Straight to her head
Shooting straight to her heart

How will this horror end?
Face down
Put up your hands
How will this horror end?
Face down
She holds her head
If she had to relive this
Could she do it again?

11. With Devils Amongst Us All

Let's open this book
One more time
Turn the page
And bleed from the inside
The haunted secrets
That we find
Are the final chapters
To our lives

Here comes the overwhelming
Tragic faerytale
That never seems to thrive
This is the unfortunate mess
That never stood a chance
Someone silence her
Stitch up, her wrists of wasted time
Put a bullet in her mind
Nail the casket for the final time

This is what I see staring back at me
Visible failures
We've made into a lovely disaster
Welcome this is your life

This is your life

Superhero who is searching (for his)
One true mary kaye smile
Reaching for his one true damsel
With rapids arror of poison desire
One to fuel his fire
Welcome this is your life

Like them we are much the same
With devils amongst us all
Welcome this is your life

This is your life
