Steal Your Screams
03:48
|
|||
the devil's hiding in plain sight
leering at you from above
you let him in, you were weak
you can never trust your mind again
your mind again
freezing chains will tie you down
in this hot room
don't try to sleep
you're not alone and this weight won't let you go
stealing your screams
you're breathing fast, then you can't breathe at...
--all your senses fail you, betraying your attempts to move
malicious silence, violent smile, burning idols, it's just you
all your senses burning
malicious, violent, betraying... it's just you
night has fallen, the air has thickened
oppressing you in sleep just as in day
and your story, a grand grimoire
will be forgotten, just like you
just like you
freezing chains will tie you down
in this hot room
freezing hands will pull you down
in this warm bed
don't try to sleep
you're not alone and this weight won't let you go
stealing your screams
you're breathing fast, then you can't breathe at...
--all he wants is to destroy you, here on purpose, he enjoys it
laughing as you try to call for help
laughing until he's thru with you
laughing 'cause it's just the two of you
it's just you!
your eyes are truly open now x3
your eyes are truly open x3
and you're not alone!

we won't let you
you can't take from us
we who made you
you won't last long here
we won't take it
we won't give in to--
you'll regret it
you won't last long here
x2
hear me
hear me now
you stop me in my tracks and ask me to smile
we fucking gave you life and you took a mile!
you say it's a compliment, i see a threat
kindness is encouragement, ignore it i could end up dead
in your eyes we're all the same, the same the same the same
to you this is all a game but i won't sleep tonight
hear me
hear me now
you stop me in my tracks and ask me to smile
we fucking gave you life and you took a mile
hear us now (1 in 6) x6
no longer will i find myself shrinking where i stand
to you this is all a game, how do you sleep at night?
one in six x4
we won't take this
we won't give in to--
you'll regret this
you won't last long here
hear me now
one in six
hear me now
one in six

Sacrificial Camouflage
02:47
|
|||
despair in my eyes, silent cries
standing on the corner with my cardboard sign
thankful for the sunny days
punished by the rain
nowhere to go, no one is my name
i stood proud on these front lines
and if you ask me now i couldn't tell you why
sacrificial camouflage, my country 'tis of thee
sacrificial camouflage, who's really free?
sacrificial camouflage, what does all this mean
sacrificial camouflage, i should just not be
talk about our history of victory over enemies
the only one worth fighting is the cycle of poverty
your claims of support are a slap in the face
as i lose my private war, fall further from grace
sacrificial camouflage, my country 'tis of thee
sacrificial camouflage, who's really free?
sacrificial camouflage, what does all this mean
sacrificial camouflage, i should just not be
you signal virtue
with stickers and ribbons
but won't even stop
to read the sign i've written
sacrificial camouflage, my country 'tis of thee
sacrificial camouflage, who's really free?
sacrificial camouflage, what does all this mean
sacrificial camouflage, i should just not be

Apology
04:14
|
|||
lurking, waiting, til it found you weak
i had broken you down to your knees
you can take this as an apology
but it would have happened even without me
now i can't drag you to reality
i can't make you take whatever pills you need
running this way won't set you free
i can't fight your demons when they're me
your escapes are only temporary
still you suffer in your inner world
a violent place i'm the enemy
don't invite me there because i'll only leave
now i can't drag you to reality
i can't make you take whatever pills you need
running this way won't set you free
i can't fight your demons when they're me
your cries for help shake me to my core
but i don't answer to that name anymore
your cries for help shake me to my core
but i won't answer to that name
lost in anger, crashed your car & blamed me
are you too far gone for responsibility?
you can take this as an apology
but it would have happened to you anyway
your cries for help shake me to my core
but i don't answer to that name anymore
your cries for help shake me to my core
but i won't answer to that name

Back to Before
03:45
|
|||
convince me our connection isn’t anymore
than something physics can explain
and tell me we can go back to before
i said, tell me we can go back to before
part of me broke away with you, the moon to a shattered earth
the world still turns, whole again, but i'll be spinning out. of. control!
a black hole consumed my life
regret is all there is to me and mine
has ripped apart time and space
[chorus]
you tell me that the real can also be divine,
that we’re existing on an earthly plane.
regret is all there is to me and mine
regret is all there is to me and mine
to me and mine
[chorus]
it can't all just be atoms, the pain and pleasure in our heads
convince me our connection isn't any( )more,
that we’re existing on an earthly plane
and tell me we can go back to before
back to before!

9th Street Malice
03:37
|
|||
she has inner strength but i've got brute force
is this love or do i just need control?
rage, worse every time
i pause by the door
afraid of what i'll do when i get home
can i suppress
these urges i loathe?
afraid of what i'll do tonight
can i suppress-- x3
can i subdue-- x3
i have inner strength but that's not enough
he can't repent when he won't give up control
i hope he knows
knows that some mistakes
can't be taken back
i'm always aware
scars, worse every time
i wait at the door
afraid of what he'll do when he gets home
can i subdue
this violence he loves?
afraid of what he'll...
can i subdue
can i subdue
can i subdue
what will he do
what will he do
what will he do?
can i suppress
can i suppress
can i suppress
what have i done
what have i done
what have i done
this time?
