Zangetsu (feat. Dalton Skinner) 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Oh, I hear what you say, but I’m not listening to your disrespect Your voice is a voice with a baseless anger You think you’re deserving? An argument is won with actions, not words You choose to hate first, and come out swinging I don’t care, about your worthless opinion You’re selling hate and fighting fire with gasoline You can’t expect everyone to conform If the tables were turned, what would you do? You want a handout? Nothing worth something is ever free You want acknowledgement? You fight just to fight because you disagree But that’s the last time You want to be the spark that ignites the flame And burns everything down You can’t see eye to eye or compromise You just take what you want I’m so sick of this trophy generation You are so blind to the world, yet you demand change But when the time comes to act you seem to face away So don’t lecture me When you’re too stuck in your ways to see what’s right anymore How did we get here? Can you see the writing on the walls? We’re slowly selling our morals for convenience sake Can we turn this around? Teach others the value of compromise and sacrifice To go on living for the good of many, not the few It won’t mean anything if we can’t agree Can we just see past ourselves? This world This life Is the only one we’ve got

Waterlogged 04:08
lyrics

In the middle of a river in a small town I lie at the bottom, my pain never surfaced My secret was drowned No one could see the pain in my heart My friends, my family, i abandoned 7 years at the bottom x2 Waterlogged I’ve been stuck at the bottom for far too long No one knows the pain beneath the surface I thought I could make it on my own Now I’m fading into nothing Drowned Only the sky can see me now The stars illuminate the murky depths I thought this would end my sorrow But I’m still at the bottom Someone find me I thought I was a burden That everyone I loved would be better off without me Without me Waterlogged At the bottom Waterlogged Under the surface Waterlogged End my suffering Waterlogged Is it over? I’ve been stuck at the bottom for far too long No one knows the pain beneath the surface I thought I could make it on my own Now I’m fading into nothing

No Remorse, No Regret 03:25
lyrics
buy track
It feels like you're stuck No escape from the choices you’ve made or the things you’ve done You live in regret You’ve made sorrow your home Built a house of shame with your hands of stone And there’s no turning back the past is in the past You live and you learn the memories you’ll burn There you are stuck in your regret Where will you run to now? You can’t turn back the clocks You can’t get back the time you’ve lost The time you’ve wasted on someone else But where will you run to now? When the past’s in the past and you’re looking for solid ground You reach for a new beginning, and let go of your regrets No remorse no regrets You live you life as a shadow existing in the past Memories keep you alive A meaningless existence I know you’re so much more I know you’re so much more In time you’ll see you owe it to yourself To forgive, but not forget You walk around town with a chip on your shoulder You don’t even have anything to fight for You have nothing to fight for You can’t turn back the clocks You can’t get back the time you’ve lost The time you’ve wasted on someone else But where will you run to now? When the past’s in the past and you’re looking for solid ground You reach for a new beginning, and let go of your regrets There’s a bright light at the end of the tunnel You’re just too busy looking back to see it Open your eyes, stop wasting time Move on with your life and never look back

Firing Squad 03:21
lyrics

It’s our time now, you’ve had your fun If you get the shot you better take it We can coexist, but we know that’s not how this works There’s always a number one So immature Petty narcissist You speak But your words get nowhere Wolves with smiles Show your teeth We own the night Your bark is worse than your bite Fall in line We’ll take our rightful place Every dog has it’s day But every wolf has it’s night We’re taking it back x2 We’ve heard it all before like a bullet to the brain Repeat, repeat It’s all the same So take your aspirations and all your hopeless dreams You’ll never see it coming And you’ll face away And if you come for us you better be ready We won’t back down take your best shot We were here from the start Waiting for the right time Down range from the firing squad So take your best shot We’ve heard it all before like a bullet to the brain Repeat, repeat It’s all the same So take your aspirations and all your hopeless dreams You’ll never see it coming And you’ll face away Step up to the line and take your best shot Fall in line We’ll take our rightful place Every dog has it’s day And every wolf has it’s night

Wolf In Shepherd's Clothing 03:41
lyrics

You’re a disease a disgrace to your cause A wolf in disguise hiding hate in your claws We know who you are There’s no hiding from us You self righteous waste of time You’re just a sinner You’re not a saint You’re just like us We don’t believe a word you say Guided by money Guided by fame You twist your words Just wait for judgement day I’m not perfect No one is, but you’re a snake We’ll make you regret your words And stomp you out like a worm You can’t buy your way into forever Your lies won’t save you from hell Your perfect life won't last forever Deep down you know this all too well You can’t buy a clean soul You can’t save yourself x2 Like a plague You infect the weak Innocent people Just looking for the truth I’m sick of the lies You’re wasting your time Learn your place You’re not God You’re just a disgrace Close your open hands Fall down to your knees x2

Self Hate 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes in life you deserve what you get Your actions have repercussions And if you think that I’m the one to blame Then I guess we have a problem Strike a match and let it burn the whole world down Save yourself Leave the wounded behind Live to fight another day Others will sacrifice We all have flaws We all have burdens Everyone dies Some just die sooner Blaming others Look the other way Have the strength to admit what you’ve done You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach? The one that won’t let you sleep at night You have broken More than you can repair You’ve turned everyone against yourself Save yourself Leave the wounded behind Live to fight another day Others will sacrifice We all have flaws We all have burdens Everyone dies Some just die sooner And in the end all your bridges have burned Burn your bridges to the ground x2

Brotherhood (feat. Tyler Miller & Storm Owens) 03:59
lyrics
buy track
You know my words before I speak For half my life, you were my family You were there for everything We are more than friends This is a Brotherhood 8 years strong from garage to garage Long nights and late shows Long drives on dark roads But it was worth all the trouble we through Even if we failed, I knew I had you Day by day Our bonds grow stronger Day by day We lost our sanity, but gained a brotherhood Where can I turn when I grow weary of this world? Who can I trust when the wolves are at our heels? I know I’m not alone, you are beside me And if my brittle bones break I have my brothers to hold me up. And through everything I knew I had you Day by day Our bonds grow stronger I finally found the brotherhood That I wanted for so long From one group to another I never thought it could be so genuine 3 years of fellowship, truth, and making memories Being with the ones you love can truly make a difference Finding myself was impossible alone, alone So many times you lifted me out of self destruction, my brothers Deeper bonds than even blood could form Until the end we will remain Our lives, intertwined as one Even through the worst, I know where I can turn Where can I turn when I grow weary of this world? Who can I trust when the wolves are at our heels? I know I’m not alone, you are beside me And if my brittle bones break I have my brothers to hold me up.

Asylum 03:48

Into the depths I’m led My face, replaced by emptiness She showed me the way further into nothing There were others here, markings on the walls in blood I may not be alone, but I’m left for dead Four walls, cold floor this place is a grave x2 These padded walls are closing in I thought i was saner, but now I’m something else I came here alone and that’s the way I’ll leave In a body bag with empty eyes The ones that came before me Left their marks, but now they’re gone for good I’m not sure how long I’ve been here But I know I’ll never truly leave Heartless, you made me heartless Just like you Heartless, you made me want to forget myself Just like you I’m not the same I’m not the same Let me go My blood is cold My skin is numb I’ve lost count for the days I thought I was dead, but you brought me back to life Let me go

Drowning Innocence 04:28
lyrics
buy track
You left me without so much as a word So empty, you were just a hollow shell That I filled with my love Wake me up I put all I had into this Now it feels like a nightmare You came in the night to destroy everything that we had Murderer You’re a killer and a thief x2 Well I guess I should have known that You would leave me at the first sign of trouble I thought I knew you but it seems you didn’t know yourself For the first time in my life I didn’t feel dead inside You gave me a reason to step back from that ledge I started thinking about myself We were never meant to last My stepping stone a 3 year milestone A broken timeline This will be the last time I waste my breath on you x2 All I see all I hear I’m drowning innocence And ripping apart the sheets And what’s left now is a broken version Of who I used to be
