I'm counting all the killers
02. Unsainted
Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
I was gone, but how was I to know? I didn't come this far to sink so low I'm finally holding on to letting go (I'll never kill myself to save my soul) I'm finally holding on to letting go (I didn't come this far to sink so low) I'm finally holding on to letting go I'm just weathering a rough patch Another villain with an itch to scratch Denial is the darkest when you live in a hole Why does the hell make you feel so cold? Make a move and you pay for it Pick a lord and you pray to it You're so demanding when you want the truth But your stories don't read for me Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul I was gone, but how was I to know? I didn't come this far to sink so low I'm finally holding on to letting go Indecision overload Keep a buckle on the devil and your eyes on the road Reaching out for the hand of God But did you think you'd shake your own? This killing field is all grown over The motherfucker wants it wild Go sow your oats in alphabetical order The anti-antagonist is back in style Myopic, cannot see straight Dystopic, one sin too late You gotta lie if you wanna believe But your bibles don't work on me Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul I was gone, but how was I to know? I didn't come this far to sink so low I'm finally holding on to letting Go Did you think you could win? And fill me in? Did you think you could do it again? I'm not your sin I was all that you wanted and more, but you didn't want me I was more than you thought I could be So I'm setting you free, I'm setting you free You've killed the saint in me How dare you martyr me You've killed the saint in me Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul I was gone, but how was I to know? I didn't come this far to sink so low I'm finally holding on to letting go You've killed the saint in me How dare you martyr me? You've killed the saint in me How dare you martyr me? 03. Birth Of The Cruel
Let him crave understanding
Let him crave your wisdom Let him crave Let him each promote Father, my self-control I'm just a Judas, lookin' for a silver line And tomorrow is still a step behind Hey, hey, drama, I'd love to be a waste of your time Oh no, thanks so much for wasting mine So hear me out Let's hear it for the damaged Who understands but the broken? Developed in the arms of spite I'm all fucked up and I make it look good Adrenaline sight tonight I'm overthrown I'm over your throne I'm over it Sick, sickened, I'm sickening, I'm stricken by the fist Blessed are the fires that have burned me Listen to this, the lesson is, never underestimate the agony Death of the fool, birth of the cruel Remember how you spent the best part of forever In a state of pure disease? It was another thing altogether To forget that you brought out the worst in me Hey, karma, you don't feel like I do You just wish you'd hate like I do We are the bitter, the maladjusted and wise Fighting off a generation too uptight We're all dressed up with nobody to kill The rhetoric stops tonight I'm overthrown I'm over your throne I'm over it Sick, sickened, I'm sickening, I'm stricken by the fist Blessed are the fires that have burned me Listen to this, the lesson is, never underestimate the agony Death of the fool, birth of the, birth of the cruel, yeah Now's not the time for denying Shifting the focus to scare Let's not forget we're all guilty All three dimensions polluted by earnest despair I'm overthrown I'm over your throne I'm overthrown I'm over your throne I'm over it Let him crave understanding Let him crave your wisdom Let him crave Let him each promote Father, my self-control That he can see, look in the enemy in front of him Because cursed, not today, sucker Go back to hell where you belong 04. Death Because Of Death
Death because of, death because of you
Death because of, death because of you Death because of, death because of you Death because of, death because of you Death because of, death because of you Death because of, death because of you Death because of, death because of you Death because of you 05. Nero Forte
Watch this
I'm never enough You bleed me dry, using me up Dissatisfied and used Another key to the empty spot in you I'm sick as a fuck I'm in my prime, what do you want? I guess it's time to see If you're lost in hell, you'll find no peace Ooh, wade through hate and fear I haven't felt like this in years Not much left, so uprooted Fists clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie And I know where I need to go But the voice of reason can't say no It's in the eyes and heart Just the latest psycho off the charts That's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best I know, and even if I didn't know, I would lie So many would believe it Stand up and resist the chains Of all the people in belligerent sick restraint I wasn't enough You bled me dry, which way is up? Oh, you're a lie and a fake I hope that truth is not too late That's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best That's what you do best That's what you do best That's what you do best (Hahahaha) (Why) Why was it easy for you? (Did) Did I deserve the abuse? (I) I can't believe I let it (Not) Not what I wanted (See) See through your bullshit (Your) You're so traumatic (True) True to your form of (Face) Every consequence (Un-) Unintimidated (-'til) 'Til the very end (It) It'll never happen (Was) Was it all a lie? (Too) Many motherfuckers (Late) That's what you do best (Lie) That's what you do best (Lie) That's what you do best That's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best A home like yours is upside down Too much animosity Nobody does it better than the enemy A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best A home like yours is upside down You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best A hope like yours won't help me now You can do your worst to me At the end of the day, that's what you do best That's what you do, that's what you do best, yeah (That's what you do best) (That's what you do best) (That's what you do best) (That's what you do best) (That's what you do best) (That's what you do best) That's what you do best, that's what you do best 06. Critical Darling
Yeah
God's in a coma Put faith in a life support Running away won't feel the same If you reach your metaphysical last resort Oh, malevolence and purgatory give you pause It's a miracle you haven't broken any laws We are not entitled to surviving So keep your friends and your enemies thriving (Good for you) What a cliché (Just not true) What a giveaway (What comes now) Can't be the last one Falling down Every time this happens I'm breaking a promise I made to a version of me Why can't I covet And keep it away From the leeches who want to deceive? What is coming has begun It's something that you gotta see We lie and say that it's too late for some redemption What is coming has begun An ending I won't live to see We tell ourselves it can't be hell if there's no heaven Once again, we got suffocated In a sick perversion of a spider's web Crawling over all the spent digested pieces Celebrate the dead Here come all the judging eyes Gotta pave the road with your best intentions I only wish you could picture a future That doesn't resemble your crazy inventions (Good on you) I don't mean it (Dream come true) I don't need it (What goes up) Another hollow one Must come down Every time this happens I'm breaking a promise I made to a version of me Why can't I covet And keep it away From the leeches who want to deceive? What is coming has begun It's something that you gotta see We lie and say that it's too late for some redemption What is coming has begun An ending I won't live to see We tell ourselves it can't be hell if there's no heaven A mirror only works if you open your eyes But even then you have to understand what's inside The easy part is always hardest to see I know you'll never guess, but darling, you're so critical Darling, you're so critical Oh, you're so critical Oh, this is a cave-in The weight of the catalyst Just wait, let the games begin Gonna tell you all about it for the savages (Good for you) Not another one (Just not true) Not another one (What comes now?) This world is Falling down Every time this happens I'm breaking a promise I made to a version of me Why can't I covet And keep it away From the leeches who want to deceive? What is coming has begun It's something that you gotta see We lie and say that it's too late for some redemption What is coming has begun An ending I won't live to see We tell ourselves it can't be hell if there's no heaven It's begun Oh, you're so critical Yeah Oh, you're so critical Critical Critical Critical Critical Critical Critical Critical 07. Liar's Funeral
A season at an end
A harvest of seclusion and regret The burning can begin A period of ash is what you get The quiet is a curse But my respect was shown to you by force Another day too late Another neck too eager for the rope Liar Liar Yesterday was hard Tomorrow's just a promise of the same When friends have all subscribed To spitting on the ground to say my name Fire on the ice December in the summer kills the heart Your hate is no surprise I guess I have to die to play my part Liar Liar Close your eyes and join the blind Slit your wrists for peace of mind Turn your back and show us the truth There's only one way to remember it for you Burn, burn, burn the liar (Liar) Burn, burn, burn the liar (Liar) Burn, burn, burn the liar (Liar) Burn, burn, burn the liar Hold the weight Never trust the one beside you Carried away You know just as much as I do Hold the weight Do it all for what you really love Carried away Use you up until you've had enough Hold the weight Never trust the one beside you Carried away You know just as much as I do Hold the weight Do it all for what you really love Carried away Use you up until you've had enough Clench your teeth and tighten your grip Stand up straight, don't let it slip Burn, burn, burn the liar (Liar) Burn, burn, burn the liar True victims and survivors learn to make war Don't wanna be the sad man singing anymore I did it all wrong so I'd get it all right We're wasting all the candles, the dead need no light Liar Liar Liar 08. Red Flag
Past just saving, this is like escaping
Running wild in the middle of weeds Eyes can't see me, careful with your breathing Get away, or they get to feed Strength's not enough, be defiant You're looking for a reason to suffer, you'll find it But if you want to live to be better, begin it Your energy will keep you from getting exhausted and purge it You don't own me You can't hold me This is beginning You are an ending They'll smother their own just to feel you They'll get you alone just to steal you They'll eat you alive just to kill you Nobody will ever have you You used to be something special Now you're nothing new Vultures salivate poison to exterminate It's the dawn of the Renaissance Emancipation, cattle on displacement You want to reason, but there is no response I won't allow this to happen Another situation I feel like I'm trapped in Nothing is my business and business is gone I wish you all would fuck off And go back to hell where you belong You don't own me You can't hold me This is beginning You are an ending They'll smother their own just to feel you They'll get you alone just to steal you They'll eat you alive just to kill you Nobody will ever have you You used to be something special Now you're nothing new Plague, don't panic Don't believe the riddle that confuses you Bitch, so manic I can see the light that exposes you So dramatic, now I'm so empathetic Means the bigger the mouth that I can eat you with Force of habit God, you reek of your havoc But consider the sources you've been tampering with They'll smother their own just to feel you They'll get you alone just to steal you They'll eat you alive just to kill you Nobody will ever have you You used to be something special Now you're nothing They'll smother their own just to feel you They'll get you alone just to steal you They'll eat you alive just to kill you Nobody will ever have you You used to be something special Now you're nothing new Now you're nothing Now you're nothing Now you're nothing new New New 09. What's Next
[Instrumental]
10. Spiders
Well, you can go it alone or keep it in between
The pages of the books you burn so no one gets to read The fingers pull your stitches tight But knowing someone's secret is not enough Everyone's a little bit a lot of the time The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? When now is not the time, tomorrow disagrees But your real world isn't ready to face the face behind the real me Time to think it over, I'm over trying to overthink I've had enough Everybody's limited to what's on their mind The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders Make yourself a martyr's pet and watch them all escape (Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders) Make yourself at home instead, you'll lose your toxic ways (Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders) Go in alone, suffer for your feelings, I'm not enough (Not enough) But everyone's a little bitter all the time The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? The spiders come in side by side Two by two and night by night Who is food and who is thrown away? 11. Orphan
I wept when I realized
There were no more demons left to conquer An opportunity to show my feelings With skin so thick you swear it was armor A penitentiary that only lets the oxygen out I wasn't ready for a version of the truth to get out I'm getting desperate, I wouldn't wanna fester in another bad dream I am a man of extremes, I found the flesh and I'm liking it I'll put an end to all the fucking psychobabble We eat the meat 'cause the meat had a soul We take the lives 'cause to hurt makes us whole I am not the same You never had a clue or knew my name You wanna know the story? Take my pain I am ready, the lie is heard I am not the same You never had intent to keep my blame You really wanna know who the fuck I am? I am the orphan The one who killed your world Keeping up appearances with acts of attrition It doesn't matter 'cause I know you'll never listen, before You knew it when you saw it, now you say you never knew it It was all a big conspiracy We came together when the hands of fate let go Is there anybody left to fill this hole? This shit will never wash off Give yourself a medal, I swear, I fucking give up We're nothing special, just an accidental tweak of the freak An evolution of the kennel in the fetish you seek There's still a part of me that's dying in a dumpster The one who rose is a motherfucking monster I've seen the future and it's simply burning I wasn't put here to be so discerning You want the world to be dissatisfied You don't care, so why the fuck should I? Fuck, should I sell myself to stay alive? I am not the same You never had a clue or knew my name You wanna know the story? Take my pain I am ready, the lie is heard I am not the same You never had intent to keep my blame You really wanna know who the fuck I am? I am the orphan The one who kills The one who killed your world Everyone has something Someone here has everything Everyone has something Someone here has everything Everyone has something Someone here has everything Everyone has something Someone here has everything Everyone has something Someone here has everything Everyone has something Someone here has everything Tell me all about it, I love to hear it The way I ruin everything I touch I never thought I'd get to say I'm sorry But then again I think you ask too much Too white to be black, too black to be blue Too sick to be me, too fucked to be you I only wonder if I'll live to see the end of the road It always gets me nowhere I am not the same You never had a clue or knew my name You wanna know the story? Take my pain I am ready, the lie is heard I am not the same You never had intent to keep my blame You really wanna know who the fuck I am? I am the orphan The one who killed your world Everyone has something Someone here has everything I am the orphan The one who kills Everyone has something Someone here has everything I am the orphan The one who kills Yeah 12. My Pain
Pain, she loves me
Wants me to be Less scared, more free To feel more of my pain I'm your friend and I'm your shade Do what you want, just remember it's for love I'm your wall and I'm your rock Don't run away, don't forget it's only love I'm your chain and I'm your lock There's no escape, just as long as I say, "Love" I'm your death and I'm your cold You end with me, remember, this was never love (Love, love, love, love) I'll take this (Love, love, love, love) And I'll take that (Love, love, love, love) I'll take you too (Love, love, love, love) You can never give too much Pain, she loves me Wants me to be Less scared, more free, pain Pain, she loves me Wants me to be Less scared, more free To feel our love, pain I've always Felt this way For you 13. Not Long For This World
Cutting or scratching, they scar the same
The angle is off, edges are soft, the mark remains I know I'm bitter and full of rage You would be too, what I've been through Knowledge is a difficult age So decide, tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide, tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world Carving or biting, we bleed for keeps Out of control, into the cold, hell repeats God, I'm starving, spreading me thin Buying a story, my soul was for sale, trust is such an arrogant thing So decide, tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide, tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world Not long for this world I know the shit you eat There's nothing mellow in the drama you live and breathe You like your secrets to be kept in the family You don't get credit for your rare good behavior Go be a savior You don't seem to get what I'm saying And I'm sick and tired of explaining Good night, goodbye, good luck There's nothing worse than a ghoul manifesto I'm not impressed though The greatest conclusion that I ever had Was when I woke up and said that's enough Living never felt so bad You don't accept it and I don't care Bury yourself above all your guilt When you're ready, it'll be there So decide, tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide, tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world Not long for this world Not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world 14. Solway Firth
Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers
They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes They mutter as the body loses warmth They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb And take great care to not take care of you Here's an unexplainable one Here's an unexplainable one While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie I guess you got what you wanted So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal It's always somebody else, somebody else was me You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure? I don't need you to do it for me I don't need you to understand I don't need you to hide it from me I just wanna feel like any other man I won't show you the whole story I won't show you the aftermath I won't show you my allegory Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one Here's an unexplainable one Here's an unexplainable one I'm not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath If I'm alive tomorrow I will alleviate the pressure by cutting you out of me I found my bottom line dead on the front lines I know I'll never go home So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free I don't need you to do it for me I don't need you to understand I don't need you to hide it from me I just wanna feel like any other man I won't show you my whole story I won't show you the aftermath I won't show you my allegory Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one What have you done? What have you done? Yeah Oh, while I was learning to live, you taught me how to die I guess I got what I wanted Another needle in the back through purified scarification It wasn't somebody else, you fucking did it to me You want a real smile? I haven't smiled in years 15. All Out Life
What a world, the horizon's
Coming like a hell-bent killing machine Can't afford to be the goddamn wreckage Burn it all again at a million degrees Calling all the adamant upper-level Undefeated counterfeit cunts with a reason to fear Throw away all the meaningless shit that's clinging The enemy is here, I said stop Give it to three I'm gonna show you how to do it if you know what I mean One by one against, give me the name All you shiny pretty never-wills ruined the game You hold all the keys, so the chains shouldn't hold you I know you heard me, I fucking told you Old does not mean dead, new does not mean best No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die We are not your kind No excuses, I challenge you to all out fucking life Drop that shit and put it on a pedestal Children are afraid of the gods Raise your hands and show me what's impossible That makes us even, never tell me the odds What a bore, I'm getting stuck in a metaphor I don't wanna go to sleep I need a breakdown quick in negotiations Get it all together and remember to seethe, stop Give it to three I'm gonna show you how to do it if you know what I mean Drive by violence, more of the same I can see where you're going, and I'm really ashamed Do you think when you act or just act like you're thinking? I gotta know now, you better tell me Old does not mean dead, new does not mean best No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die We are not your kind I challenge you to all out life We are gathered here today to get it right Repeat after me: "I will not celebrate mediocrity I will not worship empty shells I will not listen to worthless noises I will not subject myself to selected predictable choices My time, my attention My quality should not be bought and sold For convenience's sake, ever" We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind We are not your kind Old does not mean dead, new does not mean best No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die Pay attention, it's gonna be a while 'til I really feel alright Old does not mean dead, new does not mean best No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said Yours does not mean mine, kill does not mean die We are not your kind No excuses, I challenge you to all out fucking life All out life, yeah I challenge you to all out fucking life, yeah Live, live, live, life |
