It’s nothing new and things will never change
(Never change)
The bodies drop while the profits they make raise
Yeah
Exploit the bottom just to get to the top
I got thousand empty graves for all you cowards to fucking rot
Exploit the bottom just to get to the top
I got thousand empty graves for all you cowards to fucking rot
Lie after lie
Lie after lie
Death is seen as the price you pay
A bullet to the head is the American way
Sacrificing our young to keep the greedy fed
One nation under the gun
No justice for the dead
Just another one of life’s debts
Found dead at the steps with no fucking intent
Veins constrict and the nerves twist motionless
Justify your ignorance
Clipping the wings of the innocent
Claiming your place
Bleeding out at the gates of Hell

Blush Covered Bruise

Yeah
Do you feel the hurt?
The heat boiling under your skin
My flesh is soiled and rotten
Tear it off and return it
Exposing
(Exposing)
Every inch of every vein
Plucking the strings of my heart
(Plucking the strings)
To the sweetest of melodies
Your thorns tear into me
And I drink your love so sweet
I see your face beneath
My blood turns blue and I can’t breathe
Suffocate
I see your face beneath
Your secrets speak to me
My blood turns blue and I can’t breathe
I am so full of love
Blush covered bruise
Brings me so close to you
Love written on my skin
So tell me do you bleed brighter than me
I let you color me in
Reflection of your sin
So tell me do you bleed
Brighter than me
Hurt

Watching the hours rise
Captive tonight
Poisoned by the light in my bloodshot eyes
Keep the curtains closed
Bleed me fucking dry
I feel my senses tear from the inside
Day after Day
The terrified thoughts never fade away
Would you take the burden?
The endless strife
Consumed by fear, losing my life
Reapers embrace got me feeling
Sinking in Despair
I’m feeling low
Low
Rusting over my metal veins
Can you comprehend the feeling
Losing control, hands around my throat
Whisper you love me and I’ll follow where the dead go
Cold Will
Haunting me
Surrendering to your dark embrace
I seek pleasure through pain
Tearing through the skin
Suffocating me
Buried by the cold root surrounding
Eternal bliss in the devil’s arms
Pleasure through the pain I’m craving
All I see amidst the fray
This cold will haunting me
Cold Will

Nameless obituary
Written and left unread
(Here we fucking go)
Pedals decay
Drained of purpose
Nothing Changes
On the surface
Will it all be for nothing?
All the years spent in decline.
Can it even be worth it?
Struggling to survive
What are you afraid of?
Am I the thought that keeps you up at night?
What are you afraid of?
That we’ll finally meet when you turn out the light
I fall to ash
Reduced to memory
As above
So below
No name on a broken stone
Go
As Above
As Above
So Below
Pedals decay
No more purpose
Nothing will change
On the surface
Nothing will be left of me
Nothing will be left of me
Nameless Obituary
As Above
So Below

Within Stained Glass

I’ve heard
This one before
Leave yourself at the royal doors
Spilling your hate
Behind the words of shit
No thoughts for yourself
Unless it’s in the script
No love
No consequence
There’s no abuse
He can’t forgive
Turn your eye to the pain and grief
But “send to hell” those around me
Within the stained glass halls
The touch of hatred grips around me
Ignorant hearts bleeding in the pews
Rooted in the dirt soaked in abuse
Manipulated and twisted
Tearing out the pages to make you feel clean
Pray for mercy beg for relief
No matter how much you bleed
So do you truly believe
You think you’re better than me
When all you ever seek is your corrupted ideology
Preaching behind you privilege
Keeping your head out of the mud
Always the first with the loudest opinion
Always the last motherfucker to spill your blood
Father, Son, drown in the mud
Redacting words of love
Mold insecurities
Blood lust for what you don’t believe
Father, Son, drown in the mud
Redacting words of love
Mold insecurities
Blood lust for what you don’t believe
Always the first with the loudest opinion
Always the last motherfucker to spill your blood
