Tainted by things I hear and see So, please just let me be All of you are liars Two-faced people talk their shit I want no part of it My respect is dying I'm trying to rid myself of all bullshit Why do you constantly feel the need to try and belittle me? Talk shit about me all you want, there's no effect on me Talk shit for nothing No one Nobody cares or listens anyway So, why keep trying? Freak out 1, 2, 'round it goes Like a virus Hot air from your face Fuck you, kindly You fucking worthless wastes of space Freak out 1,2 fuck all you ugly people Everywhere, I see ugly intentions and a ton of shit-spewing pussies They're nothing Leave me be Lay down your immature reactions Insecurities No one needs beings like yourselves And you can't let go Can't let go Reap what you sow You all show we've got a long, long way to go Look at you Look at yourselves I'm sorry for all of you Why? Look what I found, a bunch of clowns They're nothing but dumb-shits They're dead to me Giving all of me for these songs Giving all of me is that so wrong? No On second thought, I won’t Or, I don't On second thought I don't want to know On second thought Giving all of me for no one Can I give myself what I deserve? No On second thought, I don't want to know

The blue that is me I've found no peace around me I've drowned Only to be brought back to my feet I've been for so long, hurting and I'm wrong again Slowly fading away So many frustrating feelings I can't be who they want me to be I can't feel you with me No longer am I free to feel Push all this hatred inside I bleed for these uncaring things Beyond me Treading softly Another summer dying If I said nothing's wrong, then I was lying again Absorbing bits of nothingness So many frustrating feelings I can't be who they wanted me to be I can't feel you with me No longer am I free to feel This can't be real Why God, do you give all this hatred to me? Try to figure things out I can't take no more No, I can't please you all, or myself I don't know if it's me, or if it's been too long It's gone on too long for me to see What's wrong with me? Push it down You don't need to feel a thing Break me down Breaking things Pain, that I feel What's my deal? Pain So, break me down Break it down Pain Over me, like a dark cloud Pain So, break me down Break it I cannot feel what you feel, what you see, now I cannot feel So lay me down Lay me down I cannot feel what is real What's the deal? I cannot feel So break me down Bring me down Down Cold-breaking down Down 'Cause I'm breaking down Take all this hatred and try to figure things out I can't take no more No, I can't please you all or myself I don't know if it's me, or it's been too long It's gone on too long for me to see For me to see, the shortcomings of me What's wrong with me? Pull me out of myself Please don't leave me be, while I'm breaking down on my knees Don't leave me, please Just leave me be Just leave me be Please, just dust me off and put me back on my feet I cannot ever be anything to me Try to understand I didn't want this to be It just is, and I can't change that fact, you see Breathing slowly I can't care No more Life is fair No more Can't repair No more Trust, aware no more Can't you see that this can no longer be? I try and try, and try It just comes back to me

Misplace your blame Innocence ripped from me Dry your tears Come on dear, please don't cry Your fears I see them inside your eyes Let's play a fun, little game I made I swear, it's fun for the whole family Your mom left me because of him She's wrong She can't be in love with him She's gone She took everything with him The love The trust The worth The blood The lust The lust Years of pain Coupled with strain All the blame's been placed on me Hopeless Hopelessly reaching out for someone to help me I bleed Filling a need Trying not to scream Damn me to a life of shit Every day's the same I have to go through the pain of this mental bliss you take away from me I just want to say, fucking get out of my face I don't need you constantly harassing me Just go away Why won't you please go away? I can no longer handle what you do to me Look at this face, full of pain and of disgrace This is the last day of my sanity Pain Someone help me Fly away Fly away Someday Pain Someone help me 'Cause I can no longer deal with me Someone help me 'Cause I 'Cause I I 'Cause I'm sick of this Every day's the same I have to go through the pain of this mental bliss you take away from me I just want to say, fucking get out of my face I don't need you screaming Beating Bleeding the life right out of me Screaming Beating Abusing And you raped my fucking mind Everything has gone wrong for me My well-being was gone before I had a chance to be a being Fly away Fly away someday Someday Some time, other than now I look around me and see the failure in me In me Now that I see the damage in me I'm falling to my knees in shame I've tried to do what's right All this, in spite of me failing miserably Once again The shame Who is to blame? Someone's got to care for me But they won't So, watch me bleed Turning into the negative Caring for nothing at all Blurring the lines of reality Into the bottle There's nothing left for me at all Damn the bottle Feed the beast Stop Feed the beast Stop caring Slow release of Slow release of anger I can't stop this Try to cage it It will come, sooner or later Run Feed the beast won't Feed the beast won't Feed the beast won't Feed the beast Won't stop

Last Breath 05:39
I'm dying tonight I see you in the night and I love to look into your eyes This sensation I feel inside, is like nothing I've felt in my life You're always on my mind And I can't help it, even though I try This anguish I feel inside, is like nothing I've felt in my life Like nothing I felt in my life Don't end this night Dying tonight I'm lonely Dying tonight I'm lonely I'm greedy for you I need you to be my one true If you doubt me I won't blame you Just know that what I say is for you It's all for you Everything for you Don't end this night because I'm dying tonight I'm crying Rejections, alive Attracting black from white Rejections, alive Attracting black from white One last breath and I'm through The pain I get from you, is like no other I refrain Gone away Not today Releasing your pain It's gone away Not today Your games They won't phase me No way And your Your pain has gone away Away for today For today Your last breath of pain The past has gone away Gone away Last breath of pain

Low Head on hands I scorn my life Take me home All alone Reading letters from home I miss my loved ones I'm cold My foes surround me They froze, as they lost their lives for this The cause The reason we're all here To put an end to their fears This fight Is it ours? No matter 'Cause we've come too far to stop I miss my wife I miss my kids I hope that I can get through this, unscathed No pain No regrets Please, God help me Born Breathing new life into this ravaged country of soulless swine Solving other countries' problems Even though, we've got ours at home Foreign policies, in the name of diplomacy Or could it be, their interests based on greed? No All we know is what we're told Fighting for our lying government Impose their righteousness Cleaning up the mistakes that were made over ten years ago Now's the time to right their crimes against humanity and their own fucking kind Why can't this madness end? So we can focus on the ills of this failing, rotting society The ills of this failing world Here I am with my rifle in hand I fear no man Except the monster that I am Losing sanity Blood reigns over kindling embers All the pain stays with me for life Never to fade I'm not to blame for unwanted war games I can't seem to get my hands clean I pray that this is all just a dream Lost Diminishing an evil regime They're lost I have found the inner-will to push it all down Gone Gone Gone are the thoughts that this is wrong So wrong Wrong Blood rains over all that I have found It's gone Normalcy's gone I'll keep on fighting until it's done Pray Blood reigns over kindling embers My misfortune Their loss They've lost Can't reveal the damage I have gone through My real self Now, is gone It's gone Can't believe what my eyes have seen I have lost my innocence, now Praying for an end to everything Resolution is all that I can hope for now

Lies And your god is failing Try to resort to something Giving of yourself daily Just try to Try to see yourself bleeding Alive Life can be deceiving Rely on a faith that fails you People like you will never know the truth in what they're believing Why can't they stop the pain of grieving? Always hoping for that other something Knowing damn well, you'll never find it Try to see yourself bleeding One lie can keep you dreaming Rely on a faith that fails you People like you will never know the truth Sickening display of unwarranted guilt Betray your force-fed thoughts and free your will Walk outside the boundaries of everyday life Take an introspective glance at what comes out at night Soul searching Finding nothing Priests' lying Eternally searching Christ is dying Christ is dying Searching Searching Searching for the truth under all this lies and propaganda bullshit You've got to live your life for yourself So why don't you stop trying to be just like everybody? Be yourself Don't let it be decided You've got endless possibilities So why accept weak sensibilities? Your lord is crying On his crucifix, he's left dying In all their bullshit You're left confiding all your sins to a man in hiding Christ is Christ is Christ is dying

Your sovereign company For the wrong things I have done, I'm sorry You're such a lovely dream that I keep for eternity Now sleep You're watching over me I feel your inspiration But sadly, I couldn't be there for you on your last day And I feel it I feel estranged I've got an itch to rid this false pain When everything's restrained Your sovereign company is the only one for me Your silhouette beheld beauty for me, on your last day You're an angel that I keep Some mornings I feel grief I truly miss you Sometimes I weep But we'll soon meet again When I'm free Love-filled memories I'll keep Your sovereign company encompasses me Your silhouette beheld beauty on your last day Fade away I don't have to worry because I'm ready for my last day I don't have to worry I'm ready I don't have to worry I don't have to worry and I'll fade away Your sovereign company For the wrong things I have done, I'm sorry You're such a lovely dream that I keep and your loss was such a tragedy Your sovereign company has lifted me Always Your sovereign beauty's supreme to me

Life My mistakes burn Deviate Can't complain All this pain and suffering was caused by me On my fucking knees Distrust had clouded my judgment and pushed me right over the edge Just know that I'm sorry I'm not one to let all the little things get to me and cause me to be a chump Like others Those others I despise Can't justify the wrong things I've done I'll just try to see my side I know now, what I should've known, long ago Better now than never The damage is already done Conscience falls away Self-worth, left to gain Why can't you see that I'm trying? Trying to right the mistakes in my life Why can't you see that I'm dying? Dying inside You tore my soul apart Why can't you see that I'm trying? Trying to rid myself of this sickness Why can't you see that I'm dying? Dying inside You ripped my fucking heart out I'm down on my knees The sickness burns Why can't you see that I'm trying? I'm trying so hard I'm trying so hard now Why can't you see that I'm dying? Dying inside The pressure's so hard now Why can't you see that I'm trying? Trying to do the things that I have to Why can't you see that I've died? I've died each time I hurt you in any way There's nothing to say, but I'm sorry I beg I beg you to stay Please, don't go away Can't deal with the pain I'm lonely So lonely Be brave The soul It falls apart Alone It's so hard to know just what you want The soul wants what it wants Ego, won't settle for less than a perfect thought The soul It falls apart Alone It's so hard to know just what you want The soul wants what it wants Ego, won't settle for less than a perfect thought Won't settle for less than a perfect start Won't settle for less than what's perfection The cycle repeats Staring into the night sky I see reflections of grief and I wonder why Why the sun doesn't shine down on people like me? I can't help but think that it's all because the soul, it falls apart Alone It's so hard to know just what you want The soul wants what it wants Ego, won't settle for less than a perfect thought The soul It falls apart Alone It's so hard to know just what you want The soul wants what it wants Ego, won't settle for less than a perfect thought Won't settle for less than a perfect start Won't settle for less than what's perfection
