Tracks



01. Splinter

In your space I feel lesser than human
A slave
Pushed down with shame on my face
You're a God for an hour
But what have you done?
That gave you the right

(Gave you the right)
TO KILL ME
Cut out the splinter
CUT ME AWAY
Cut out, Cut out
(You think you're better than me)

You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Last thing
(I WILL REMEMBER)
In the end
You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Go Now
(LIVE IN FAILURE)
Your fake words spoken
(Now you mean NOTHING)

What a waste of my time
As I follow the dead
You're fake ass celebrity cred
So now, what's the leader doin'
What have you done
You got no more fight

(Gave you the right)
TO KILL ME
Cut out the splinter
CUT ME AWAY
Cut out, Cut out

You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Last thing
(I WILL REMEMBER)
In the end
You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Go Now
(LIVE IN FAILURE)
Your fake words spoken

NOW YOU MEAN NOTHING
NOTHING

Am I the splinter in your life?
(CUT ME AWAY) [x3]
CUT

You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Last thing
(I WILL REMEMBER)
In the end
You think you kill me
(CUT OUT THE SPLINTER)
Go Now
(LIVE IN FAILURE)
Your fake words spoken

NOW YOU MEAN NOTHING
NOTHING

02. Forever Dead

I feel my life has been forsaken
And I've been taken by the storm for way too long
I sit here locked inside a hell that only you and I can live
Another war so far from grace
So wipe that smile off your face
(Stop, Coming at me, Coming at me)

[CHORUS:]
So go, now find yourself
You're selfish, condescending
You and me are now forever... (forever)
So go play God in someone else's life
'Cause you and me are now forever (forever dead)

I wear your burden like a stone
It drags me down, I'm sinking
I pray they're wrong, but lie there alone (So broken)
Stop, comin' at me, comin' at me, comin' at me

[CHORUS:]
So go, now find yourself
You're selfish, condescending
You and me are now forever... (forever)
So go play God in someone else's life
'Cause you and me are now forever (forever dead)

So go, now find yourself
You're selfish, condescending
You and me are now forever...

So go, now find yourself
You're selfish, condescending
You and me are now forever
(Forever)
So go play God in someone else's life
You and me are now forever
(Forever)

Forever dead, forever dead
(Forever)
Forever dead, forever dead
(Forever)
Forever
(Forever dead)
Forever

03. Unraveling

I need an answer
Some way to understand
This feels so convincing
And a little outta hand
So tell me one thing
Who gave you all those scars
That took away your innocence
You push away with everything you are

I can't take this anymore
I'm tired of breaking
I'm tired of breaking

I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling

So here we are now
Break what's already broken
I guess I coulda seen this coming
If you'd been around
Lets tear the past wide open

I can't take this anymore
I'm tired of breaking
I'm tired of breaking

I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling

What have we become
The hopeless tonight and I think its over
We hope to find the truth still breathing
Can we survive the low

I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling

I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling

04. Last Breath

So do I really believe?
Caught up and twisted
She's hardly completed
Now I'm out of time
And full of hate
(If nothing will change you)
Then nothing will ever change

Cuz all that I need
From you now
You can't see

Take my last breath
To say this
This broken world
Left me hopeless
Everytime I pray
But Nothing would change
I'll take my last breath now
I hope I find my way

What else in this world
Could happen to me?
Always convicted
You're simply defeated
It kills me that I've never found
That saving grace
That gave you the shelter
You needed for one more day

Cuz all that I need
From you now
You can't see

Take my last breath
To say this
This broken world
Left me hopeless
Everytime I pray
But Nothing would change
I'll take my last breath now
I hope I find my way

Call it madness
Call it tragic
Have you heard enough?

Take my last breath, take my last breath
Take my last breath, take my last breath

Take my last breath
To say this
This broken world
Left me hopeless
Every time I pray
But Nothing would change
I'll take my last breath now
I hope I find my way

05. Karma

I may have made some mistakes
That cost me more than my pride
But somewhere along the way
That part of me finally died
That part of me never tried
Some part of me still alive
Here in the bed that I made
Can't sleep cuz my conscience keeps me awake
Keeps me awake

IT'S COMIN'
DON'T RUN IT AWAY

Yeah, how bittersweet is Karma
Now you've done it you own it
Know that it's coming
Don't change for nothing
We all feel karma now

The clock never stops to breathe
The tears in the well
I cause help me see
Theres no better place to be
Than right where you are
Until you go through the fall
Go through it all

IT'S COMIN'
DON'T RUN IT AWAY

Yeah, how bittersweet is Karma
Now you've done it you own it
Know that it's coming
Don't change for nothing
We all feel karma now
How bittersweet is Karma
Now you've done it you own it
Know that it's coming
Don't change for nothing
We all feel karma now

Where do you think it can go
(Think it can go)
Asking for help but the answer is no
(The answer is no)
What do you do when karma comes down
(What do you do) [x3]
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO??

Yeah my karma's here it seems
Always a step behind me

Yeah, how bittersweet is Karma
Now you've done it you own it
Know that it's coming
Don't change for nothing
We all feel karma now
How bittersweet is Karma
Now you've done it you own it
Know that it's coming
Don't change for nothing
We all feel karma
All feel karma now

06. Ride Insane

Uncertain I ride to calm myself
I'm searching' for something
That gets me out of this place
I need this
Like the Devil needs Jesus
Like a war needs treason
I've been through hell for a reason
(I see my life just slipping away)

Hey, I'm gonna ride insane
And at the moment life starts to burn
I'm gonna ride this sunset to the grave

Ticking faster, I can see the end
I'm reaching out - to pull myself
Up to see again
I need this
Like an angel that's bleeding
(Right now)
I hear the Devil screaming
We go through hell for a reason
(I see my life just slipping away)

Hey, I'm gonna ride insane
And at the moment life starts to burn
I'm gonna ride this sunset to the grave

(What's) the meaning
(Try) to understand
(Why) the feeling's stuck inside of me
(What's) the meaning of
(Try) Trying to understand
(Why) It's always up in lies
Lies! Lies! Lies!

Hey, I'm gonna ride insane
And at the moment life starts to burn
I'm gonna ride this sunset to the grave

Hey, I'm gonna ride insane
And at the moment life starts to burn
I'm gonna ride this sunset to the grave
Why?! Why?! Why?! Lies!

07. Confessions (Without Faith)

I see the magic taken out of our dream
That kept me young and trusted?
Singled out and dazed
What else can you do for me to keep me standing?

Everyday's a new confession
Vulnerable, are we all?

With our faith, we'll go on
Til it's over
The world doesn't always love you
But you never let that define you
Just have faith, we'll go on
We'll get closer
To everyone to ever tried to hate you
Say goodbye, it was nice to know you!
Nice to know you!

I've become so cynical
Tell me now
How can I hear the voice of reason?
You're so beautiful
What else can you
Do for me to keep me grounded?

Everyone's a new possession
Vulnerable, are we all?

With our faith, we'll go on
Til it's over
The world doesn't always love you
But you never let that define you
Just have faith, we'll go on
We'll get closer
To everyone to ever tried to hate you
Say goodbye, it was nice to know you!
Nice to know you!

08. Nowhere

Is this the life you made
The kind of life you fake
Is there a point we break?
Or do we sing that same old song
And hope they play along
(We follow)

We're well on our way now to nowhere
(To nowhere)
We're so far away from getting somewhere
(From where getting somewhere)

Please stop the broken record
Your worthless effort
That makes you feel like God
So play that song
And watch it all go wrong
(Where do we search to find the honesty
In a world so fucked up and bleeding)
Knowing we will follow

We're well on our way now to nowhere
(To nowhere)
We're so far away from getting somewhere
Close to anything at all
At all, at all
At all, at all

We're well on our way now to nowhere
(On our way)
We're so far away from getting somewhere
(From where getting somewhere)

We're well on our way now to nowhere
(To nowhere)
We're so far away from getting somewhere
Close to anything at all
Anything at all

09. Here And Now

Send somebody, somebody soon
I'm feeling tired
All torn up and nobody knew
I'm thinkin someone needs to pray
Forgive me for the wrong I've done
But no one here is safe now

So far down, can you tell me if I'm counted out
(You know that now, you know)
That in the end, there's nothing left but here and now
(You know that now)
I'm here and now

Waking up to nobody home
I'm feeling tired
Sickened from my constant disease
Will someone have the guts to say
I'll never right the wrong I've done
If all you do is blame me anyway

So far down, can you tell me if I'm counted out
(You know that now, you know)
That in the end, there's nothing left but here and now
(You know that now)
I'm here and now

Send somebody, somebody soon
I'm feeling tired
All torn up and nobody knew
Are you...

So far down, can you tell me if I'm counted out
(You know that now, you know)
In the end, there's nothing left but here and now
(You know that now)
I'm here and now
Here and now
(Here and now)
Here and now
I'm here and now
(I'm here and now)

10. The End Is Coming

I see the last parade unfold
I try to understand (the meaning of it all)
If silence becomes us, then who will save us from the fall
It's coming for us all

NOW TRY AND RUN

(The end is coming) So run, keep running
(The end is coming) No more time to save ourselves
(The end is coming) Yeah, we became the enemy
(The end is coming) Your world is burning
The end is coming

I see the cruel charade as bright as the sun
I try to find my faith but all it does is runaway
If heaven refused us, then who will listen to our call?
When it all begins to fall

NOW TRY AND RUN

(The end is coming) So run, keep running
(The end is coming) No more time to save ourselves
(The end is coming) Yeah, we became the enemy
(The end is coming) Your world is burning
The end is coming

Divine security [x4]

So run, keep running
There's no time to save ourselves
No more time to save ourselves

(The end is coming) So run, keep running
(The end is coming) No more time to save ourselves
(The end is coming) Yeah, we became the enemy
(The end is coming) Your world keeps burning away
The end is coming
The end is coming
Your world keeps burning away
The end is coming
The end is coming
Your world is burning
The end is coming now

11. Better Place

Hold on we try to live a dream
We lose the fight again
I take the promise I believe
And keep it close til the end
(Collide) I'll start a war inside
(Now stop) Drop and cover me
My sense of peace is burning
Shutting down, I'm falling down
(I can't believe it's happening to me)

Can I give it all way
Just to get back to that better place
That better place today
And I give everything away
Just to get back to that better place
That better place today

Holding on- I suffer like a fiend
And try and face the day
I gotta say I'm a little relieved
To see you stay til the end
(I try) I took the war inside
(Then I)
And pushed it out of me
My sense of peace is burning
Open now- I'm not falling out
(I can't believe this is happening to me)

Can I give it all way
Just to get back to that better place
That better place today
And I give everything away
Just to get back to that better place
That better place today

(Now stop)
(I try)

Can I give it all way
Just to get back to that better place
That better place today
And I give everything away
Just to get back to that better place

And now it all remains the same
Til I get back to that better place today

12. Strong Arm Broken

The stare that cuts through me
Burning a hole in me
Giving the answers I've been looking for
Your new found love
For kicking me when I'm down
Has given me the hate to
Finally let you know
I don't believe anything you ever told me
You lost your soul
Take another chance?
It's the last time you'll fuck me

Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken

You sold out instantly
Killing my sympathy
Biting the hand that fed
The dog so long
That black heart hiding
Behind your hollow eyes
Will never save you
From the place you're headed for
I can't believe that I ever let you hurt me-
You lost control
Time to say goodbye
It's the last time you'll fuck me

Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken

Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken

Strong arm broken, strong arm broken
