Death Creep 02:37
Home wrecker, grave digger One by one, put to sleep Home wrecker, grave digger Left with the words you promised to keep Feel your death creep Feel your life sleep And never feel it again Blinded in fright, direct sunlight When time, it tells you the end Distilled the truth Revealed the proof And now you can’t sleep Feel your death creep Feel your soul weep Sleep, in heavenly peace Death Creep, your life will cease Silence, will be the only sound Death’s grip, will have you tightly bound Walk the plank Seal your fate Join the rest You've been put to the test Walk the plank Seal your fate Join the rest It’s the march of death

Equality does not exist When all the devil gets is just a slap on the wrist Justice fails to persist when you don’t know what justice is I’ve been playing the long game Waiting for your decay Every day’s a little bit closer But so far away Bite my tongue Bite my tongue Live with the pain Never speak again But I can’t wipe the slate clean Can’t set it straight Live with the guilt in me Something that you don’t see Been living a lie on my own I can’t decide, what’s right and what is wrong It seems I can’t control the darkness within my soul Words spit like wildfire Held back by my desire Exposed the wound Now I’m bleeding dry You’ve caught me once again Bite my tongue, so I can feel the pain And I’ll feel it again It’s always the same I've been put to shame Bite my tongue Feel the pain Bury my mind Bury my head I’m only trying my best Can’t compete with the rest Got me locked in your chest I’m so fucking hopeless Bite my tongue Feel the pain Bury my mind Bury my head Bury me

I can’t see the future I can’t see a light But I connected the dots and now I know I’m right I can’t cast a shadow cause even that won’t know where the fuck to go Leaving my thoughts to their own device Speak my mind I know I’ll pay the price These words are better left unsaid Bound by blood, I’ll carry these words till I’m dead Law abiding citizen I keep to myself Forced into this fucking cell I’m bound by blood to this hell You can’t see it though it’s clear to me That I don’t belong to this family Tore me apart and now I’m fucking cursed There’s no better half, you’re both the worst Forced to feel, I’m bound by blood By chains A needle to my veins Infected, Injected Still I don’t feel the same Tried so hard to hide this fucking pain And now you know why I cannot behave These thoughts won’t leave This blood bounds me This bloodline will lead me astray Only death can take me away Take me away Give me the end Wounds that won’t mend Living a lie Nowhere to hide Chained to the ground Gotta break out This blood has me bound To this hell that surrounds me Bound by blood

Guilt Trip 02:52
Before I could speak I was born into guilt Just a product of lust with no relationship built Forced to realise, I was a mistake Had your head under water, moral compass displaced Forgiveness from you is nothing I seek Nothing for me to believe This world is plagued with cold dead hearts Bastards living dead from the start Living alone, freezing all on their own Cause it's a cold life when you're living on ice Struggle with feelings Struggle with passion Born without guidance Happiness is in rations Never feel, just envy the feeling Pain and more pain and more pain The truth bothers me Won't fucking let me be Frozen right to the tip I'm on the guilt trip
5.
Straw Dogs 03:06
Hide your rage deep inside your cage But don’t remain locked up forever You’ve been used and abused for a lifetime This lifeline, you must sever Now watch the student become the fucking master Watch your world become fucking disaster You know it’s only a matter of time Before they’re done with you It’s a fools game, only yourself to blame Now when I look in your eyes It just ain’t the same You’re just a straw dog Crushed by the apathy, decayed by the shame Broke the foundation of trust Burnt it all to dust, left to rust You’re just a straw dog Crushed by the reality they don’t know your name These dogs will roam in a pack And plan their deadly attack And it ain’t hard to see These dogs are coming for me Just like a man, and his desire Trapped inside his guilt filled mind This caged bird, this house on fire Full of uncertainty Beg for forgiveness Beg for your soul Slipped from your hands Now you’re losing control When you broke this bond of trust You burnt it all to dust, left to rust Broke the foundation of trust Burnt it all to dust, left to rust

Damned To Be 02:01
Never believed someone believed in me When I’m put to the test failure is all they see The mistakes I’m making only getting worse Trapped in a choke hold, I’m surely cursed My empty soul, it manifests The truth it sees, patience it tests But when it’s lies, can’t fucking see This catarax keeps blinding me Bring out the trophies of those above me Shine the light far away from me False praise and misunderstanding Never accept no matter who I’ll be Shackles pulling strong Can’t escape, I know I don’t belong Peace of mind, bound to the chains Lock me up and throw away the key I’m damned to be Forced to see Damned to be

Climb 03:02
You’re always trying to be another brick in the fucking wall But I can’t sympathise with your pathetic disguise Playing the fucking fool Feeding their minds Corruption and lies Biding your time You use and abuse cause you’ve got nothing to lose But I'm not gonna give in, I fucking refuse Forgiveness, is just your reason to sin But that’s no fucking reason, to let your demons win Bottle the rage Never escape Rattle the cage Expose the betrayal Don’t fucking slip Climb It’s all a fucking waste Sweat dreams with a bitter taste When you climb the ladder Do your hands get sore Cause your existence is just a bore Time to look up You’ve got a long way to go

Wicked Ways 03:18
Locked up for doing the right thing Bad luck you’ve been struck by the lightning Terror, destruction No peace for us It’s not safe on the inside, it’s fucking corrupt Our blood on the front line But there’s no reason why Killing people for their business While the children cry Sift through the shit Still get the worst Fight for your life Eternal curse And now I’m sleeping with my eyes open Wicked ways, scramble my thoughts Fearful, I question the facts No doubt in my mind they don’t have my back Reality is sinking into me Don’t believe what I hear Don’t believe what I see You walk all over us and tell us we’re all to blame When you’re the reason we’re fucked up, we never had a say Fucked by the system, you can’t beat it Corrupt by the system, you won’t beat it
10.
The perspective of life is one of a kind We watch the clock tick as the time passes by Associate death with the end of the line But I refuse to just give up and die I am the soul witness to what I have done Seen who I am and I see who I’ll become You can’t dictate the path that I chose I refuse to be broken I refuse to be you I hear an outcry From my tainted soul In a state of confusion Can’t regain my control Cheated by death A whole in the system Before it all breaks I’ll find the fucking wisdom Within the walls of my head The world it ceases to spin I’m on the outside staring back in Can’t comprehend if it’s a blessing a curse Until I’m the victim When I’m down in the dirt Cry out For my soul Set it free to roam But it won’t be alone Open up my chest So I can be the witness And watch the truth unfold Struggle to find the gold All I’m left with is cold Witnessed the world grow old Realised the answers in my soul

Forsaken 03:25
Breathing’s becoming so hard Cause I cannot stop fucking choking Been this way right from the start It feels like this curse cannot be reversed Pointing the finger, shifting the blame Forsaken by those who caved No antidote for this recurring woundIt seems to me The end of my days have come to soon The only way to run is to master your walk Stop them in their tracks Stop with all this talk It’s easy for you cause you’ll abandon your soul But I for one have paid for all the stories I’ve told We’ve seen it all before and now you watch it unfold What they've done to me, now they’ll do it to you No antidote for this recurring wound The end of my days, have come too soon Locked out Knocked out I am forsaken every day I’m alive It’s only now that I realise I’ve been forsaken, a burden that’s placed on my head That I just have to learn to live with And now all I can do is hope I live to see the day you suffer See how you cope when there’s no hope motherfucker Beaten by the best and I’ve got nothing but regrets I ain’t got a death wish but some days I wish for death History's repeating and I can’t fucking escape Try to change my ways but I’m forsaken for the rest of my days
