Digging Myself Out
02:51
|
|||
|
I’m so stuck in my stubborn ways
Won’t you come to help me
I can’t fight this disease alone
Why can’t we just bury this beneath the roots
along with all the other things I pretend my brains erased
This is only going to destroy me
If the facts are not faced
using nothing but a shovel with a spade
I’m trapped and buried in hell,
I’m going to dig myself out of the ground
pulling each root one by one
until my eyes can gaze into the sun
I’m breaking down, I’m falling apart
but I know that I’ll get myself out if I place my spade into the dirt
Fragments underlying me are trying to drag me down by my feet
but this is an epiphany and you are the epitome of defeat
so hold your breath, I can show you
that this is it, its going to take time
so please be patient
I know that I’ll push through
and i must admit
I know that in time I’ll be just fine
I know that in time I’ll be just fine

We Are Divinity

I’ve been waiting to pack my bags
since you told me its not worth it
and you can stand with me by my side
or you can let me go on my own
because I’m leaving with or without you
it’d just be so much better if i could have you
so tell me honey, won’t you tell me
that you’re coming with me
I’m starting to realize I’ve only finished a fourth of my life
Yeah, I’m only at the start now, with so much more to go
and won’t you let me know if you think I’m in the right
I’m simply searching for a new place to call my home
We are divinity
and all my enemies they are attacking me
but I, I don’t even give a shit what they think of it
because i don’t even need you in my life
and your negativity, your pathetic energies
oh, I hope you find it easy sleeping at night
I know I don’t find it easy getting sleep at night
and I hope you’re constantly tossing in your bed
and I hope your demons are violently bashing at your head
and I know your demons are violently bashing at your head

The Cross You Bare
04:39
|
|||
|
There’s a desire in your eyes its growing bright
fixated on justifying the lost souls in your life
burnt in your skull is a conception
you produced with your mind
And now you’re leaving behind the verities you denied
while coercing them that what you think is right
And now you’re lost with a purpose
That is uttered by no other than yourself
The cross in your hands
You cringe in hopes that it will keep you from hell
You’re conjuring the memories you’ve left behind
That you’re holding to my neck, now its fight or flight or death
and you don’t let go
and now I’m passing out
There’s a burning fire on the ground in which you stand, it’s burning your hands
and every handshake you give is passed over with hate
Oh judgement is quietly coursing through your veins
and there’s an irony behind your perception of pain
And though the numbness in your heart is so intriguing
I’d prefer to love
And now you’re lost with a purpose
That is uttered by no other than yourself
The cross in your hands
You cringe in hopes that it will keep you from hell
The diamonds in your eyes are a hoax
The words spoken out your mouth give false hope
And I want to know the truth
Oh I want to know what’s real
but I know that I’ll figure this out myself
Before I believe it from someone like you

A War Within the Country
03:14
|
|||
|
I’d like to start by saying I’ve scraped by every stage of my life
I’m emotionally ready to be your sacrifice
I’m burned by the bitterness of illiterate rivalries
and I’m tortured by the idiots in rule of the country
So push me down to my limit
I’m never backing down
Verities lay above you
but you’re too low to tell the truth
So bury me if you have to
but just know I’ve figured out how
I’m living out my legacy
and your vices are to be proved
I’ve been training to be honest for the entirety of my life
and the truth will set me free
and you’ll be the sacrifice
If exposed for your treason we all know there will be a mutiny
So engage for a war, there’s a war within the country
So push me down to my limit
I’m never backing down
verities lay above you
but you’re too low to tell the truth
so bury me if you have to
but just know I’ve figured out how
I’m living out my legacy
and your vices are to be proved

Nothing Personal
03:35

Follow me to the other side
where we go to train our minds
to see the dark side
which I rely to be my guide
Its you that I despise, I’ll bury you alive
I am losing my mind, because you have put me through enough
I won’t help you through
I can’t tell you what to do
with the life you choose
oh, I hope to god that you don’t lose
I am losing my mind, because you have put me through enough
I can’t fix all the errors I’ve made
so now I know the next step I’m going to take
get away from you
get away from you
get away from you
I’m so sick of all of your shit
it makes me so fucking sick that you can do all of this to me
I am losing my mind, because you have put me through enough

Whiskey Song
02:18
|
|||
|
I fill up with a bottle of whiskey
I drink away everyday until I can’t remember anything
and I know you’ve followed me into the darkness
when I can’t even see for myself
and now you’re blaming me
for every mistake that you’re making
every last breath that you’re taking
Stop complaining, its not my fault
I’ve been thinking
about what you said
and I decided drinking
is the best way
to forget every moment
and forget about what you said
this is my fate I chose it
but sometimes I feel id be better off dead
