Better Days 02:42
I’ve changed my ways Had better days And I’m never going back home to you Strong whiskey flowed Down the back of my throat And I’ll smash into the walls I built for you I’m not scared of you anymore The vices added up Was overfilling my cup And I’d do it again, somehow I wanted to Kept my demons at bay They’ve nothing more to say Now run and hide away from all thoughts of you I’m not scared of you anymore
2.
One Another 04:10
I’ve been passed by Pushed to the side Told me not to try I know, she told me so I said let go She told me no We suffered One another Times, they have a-changed You’re out of my range It’s all so strange I stumble through the rubble It keeps me humble Knowing what was We suffered One another
3.
Senseless 02:26
Take a look around See what’s here and now The sky’s falling down And pigs roam our towns It’s so senseless, what do you do When the whole goddamned world turns on you This place is twisted, fucked up and sick And no one seems to give a shit Now take a look inside Tell me does this feel right? We’re all gonna die Bet you can’t tell me why It’s so senseless, what do you do When the whole goddamned world turns on you This place is twisted, fucked up and sick And no one seems to give a shit No one seems to give a shit How’d they get away with it?
4.
Follow 02:45
Follow me, into the moonlight Into the twilight She said, “don’t tempt me I just might” Tell me, what’s your weakness What’s your secret Oh I know I’m gonna break this Been talking to myself I think I might be someone else Don’t wanna think about my future Getting caught up by my past I wanna feel all my emotions Wanna learn about devotion Wanna set some shit in motion Gotta go Hell no, I won’t follow Into the hollow Don’t wanna hate myself and wallow in my Self-shame, I am to blame Not playin this game Worst enemy my own brain Been talking to myself I think I might be someone else Don’t wanna think about my future Getting caught up by my past I wanna feel all my emotions Wanna learn about devotion Wanna set some shit in motion Gotta go

Isolate the truth inside this bullshit I’ve been fed Run and hide, put up disguise for fear I’ve been misled Still can’t see what the hell this all means, please god give me a sign Took a long time for me to finally find all ships rise with the tide I don’t know what to Do about this now my darling It all seems so far away The morning just brings fear Are we all done here? Still so much more to say This is just too much now baby Can you take it? I know I can’t Let go of it long enough to think Questions answers flash across my mind so constantly Seeking out advice but all I find is apathy Is it lost? Have we been tossed outside to face our fate? ‘Cause I don’t see a way for us to escape it at this rate I don’t know what to Do about this now my darling It all seems so far away The morning just brings fear Are we all done here? Still so much more to say This is just too much now baby Can you take it? I know I can’t Let go of it long enough to think

Generations 03:16
It’s been this way since long before I’ve never felt this damn unsure We left a world we can’t ever bring back Can’t make the same mistakes no more Can’t let them Take no more They’ve wasted Generations So many people out of their brains Shooting poison into their veins And those responsible they always They always hide away Can’t let them Take no more They’ve wasted Generations

Burning world, fire erupting Full of ash, shredded and broken Into the past, our death is calling Soulless bodies torn apart Desert age, destined to be here Full of plague, rotting, decaying Shit is fucked. Into the dark days Soulless bodies torn apart Twisting, wrench out your heart Can you hear the bombs fall from the sky? In the distance smoke begins to rise Finally our time has come to die Crashing, the Earth has split open End of days, demons awoken Two-by-two, foretold by the omens Soulless bodies torn apart Now it’s clear of our interference Demons dance, tearing and slashing At our flesh, they’re the new masters Soulless bodies torn apart, Twisting, wrench out your heart Can you hear the bombs fall from the sky? In the distance smoke begins to rise Finally our time has come to die Confirmed our fears All these years Satan’s here
8.
QAS 01:35
Every day it’s something else Trapped all by myself Thoughts back on the shelf Do you care enough to help me figure out this shit? Choice that lies within What the hell did I just say? Yeah come on baby now, you can cry on my shoulder But don’t look now ‘cause we’re only growing colder I’ve always called it quits I feel so full of shit Yeah come on baby now, you can cry on my shoulder But don’t look now ‘cause we’re only growing colder
9.
Vulture 02:56
I can see the vultures, Circling around I can see the vultures, Coming for me now Picking at my flesh, Eating at my bones Here come the vultures, Carry me home I can see the vultures, Circling around I can see the vultures, Coming for me now Eating at my flesh, Picking at my bones Here come the vultures, Carry me home Take a second to realize, As you see the vultures fill the skies Landing down beside your mind As they’re picking out your fucking eyes The last thing that you’ll recognize Is that it’s all comprised of lies It’s too late now, we’ve wasted life, Our time has come, the end is nigh
10.
Why am I still worried? Always in a hurry Too fast, the picture got blurry Some thoughts of mine I said the things that I said Still somehow we’re not all dead My mind has not been read Retreat inside Why do I always seem to be A culmination of the things I see in those around me? Where's my originality? Can I not be uniquely me? We’re all learning aren’t we? Somebody come and set me free My back is to the wall My feet are getting cold My mind has gotten old Some thoughts of mine I said the things that I said But still I cannot own them Fuck you, you’re so full of shit Retreat inside Why do I always seem to be A culmination of the things I see in those around me? Where's my originality? Can I not be uniquely me? We’re all learning aren’t we? Somebody come and set me free Some thoughts of mine They make me blind

All I hear is wishful thinking And incoherent fucking screaming While our whole fucking world is bleeding Take it all and burn it to the ground (to the ground) Back they send us through pain and torture While they run off with our fortunes Deciding our own futures for us, They control what we hear and see (censoring) So keep telling me what I wanna hear now, Don’t bore me with nothin’ real I want nothing but to control you, But fear me not for I’m on your side Still I hear this wishful thinking, The propaganda and misleading Bullshit that’s designed to blind us Soon they’ll know what we really see (guillotine) They got an iron grip on the world as we know it, Nothing changes peacefully Heads are gonna have to roll now If we wanna save ourselves (save ourselves) So keep telling me what I wanna hear now, Don’t bore me with nothin’ real I want nothing but to control you, But fear me not ‘cause I’m on your side All over the world is burning People lining up to take control Nobody ever paid attention Real enemies were here all along Their world is displeasing to me Wrong people are bleeding here Take your heads out of your asses, Bring the fight to where it really belongs
