Going Under

Keep me from going under
We’re blind to the brighter days. Can’t get a clear view of anything
Storm clouds come creeping in. The time has come now it’s sink or swim
It’s time to break from the lies that poison my mind
I’ll sever the ties so long as I remember nothing is what it seems
Running from everything. Just darkness underneath
Keep me from going under
Can’t find the air to breathe and I’m drifting out to sea
Will you save me? Keep me from going under
My thoughts are suffocated. Hung up on what to say
No words, just gray. Displaced in my own headspace
It’s time to break from the lies that poison my mind
I’ll sever the ties so long as I remember nothing is what it seems
Running from everything. Just darkness underneath
Keep me from going under
Can’t find the air to breathe and I’m drifting out to sea
Will you save me? Keep me from going under
Screams become white noise, the static is threatening
Dead air consumes now the silence is deafening
All the discourse has turned to a villainous scheme. This is a curse
Wishing for words because the silence is deafening
Nothing is what it seems
Running from everything. Will you save me? Keep me from going under
Nothing is what it seems
Running from everything. Just darkness underneath
Keep me from going under
Can’t find the air to breathe and I’m drifting out to sea. Will you save me?
Keep me from going under

Death Grip
02:58
|
|||
|
Feel the cold steel touch my fingertips
I see the light but I’m not afraid of it
So sew me up and put my bones back where they fit
Don’t need a lifeline, I got a death grip
You wanna play it safe? I’ll save the day
We all know that fortune favors the brave
Don’t forget this is sudden death
With bones exposed that you still have to protect
I still refuse to peak
While you, you’re still trying to be what you will never achieve
Let out your warcry and get what you came here for
Pull the pin, I’ll stand and wait
Won’t retreat. Force them to blow me away
A resting place, won’t be doomed to stay
You dug a hole but that won’t be my grave
All pain, no remedy. It makes no difference
Embrace the anarchy surrounding me
I’ll build a forcefield from my enemies
Anarchy. Anarchy. Surrounding me
All pain, no remedy
Feel the cold steel touch my fingertips
I see the reaper but I’m not afraid of him
I won’t bleed out, I’ll just rub some dirt on it
Don’t need a lifeline. I got a death grip
I choke the trauma down and still don’t make a sound
Face to face with the end but I clench my fist
Don’t need a lifeline, I got a death grip

Light Years
03:24
|

Feels like I’m light years away but it’s just beyond my reach
There’s the end, dead ahead, it’s better late than never
I’ve been trapped all alone and it’s felt like forever
Inside the void without a single light. Lost in an abyss that’s suffocating me
I wait for the day to break. I gave more than I could take
And I need a way out that’s more than a dream
It feels like I’m light years away but it’s just beyond my reach
Stopped again, sleepwalking, still so fucking tired
Need a change, anything that will get me out of my own head
Is anybody there? Still going nowhere. Gotta try. Do or die
Nothing worse than being stuck in here
I wait for the day to break. I gave more than I could take
And I need a way out that’s more than a dream
It feels like I’m light years away but it’s just beyond my reach
By now I should be used to the uncertainty
Can I outweigh the overbearing gravity?
Inside the void without a single light. Lost in an abyss that’s suffocating me
I wait for the day to break. I gave more than I could take
And I need a way out that’s more than a dream
It feels like I’m light years away but it’s just beyond my reach

Secret
03:07
|
|||
|
No escape. Doesn’t matter that I’ve changed cuz you still see me the same
Open your eyes, that's how the past dies
Don’t look at me like I am the problem.
When we both know who's stoking the flames.
I’ve been burned too many times before, so tell me who's to blame?
I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve outgrown everyone you know but you won’t believe it
Because all the time you’re sleeping, I’ve been dreaming
No escape. From a never ending haze. You’re still blinded by the rage.
Open your mind, leave the past behind.
Pay attention to what’s right in the wrong. You never listen when I yell so…
I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve outgrown everyone you know but you won’t believe it
Because all the time you’re sleeping, I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been burned too many times before, so tell me who's to blame?
I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve outgrown everyone you know but you won’t believe it
Because all the time you’re sleeping, I’ve been dreaming
I’ll tell you a secret because all the time you’re sleeping, I’ve been dreaming

Split
03:11
|
|||
|
Another crack in the ice under my feet. Another cloud in the sky
In the shadow of an unseen enemy but I’m not ready to die
Am I paranoid? Can’t trust my eyes
So close to giving up. Fear on overdrive
It’s a vicious cycle. Got me spinning in a downward spiral (Am I losing it?)
Vicious cycle. Inescapable paranoia. A threat on every side
Another day looking over my shoulder. Another sleepless night.
Losing my hold on reality. My world is starting to slip. Am I losing it?
Am I paranoid? Can’t trust my eyes
The fear is winning and it drags me down to another…
Vicious cycle. Got me spinning in a downward spiral (Am I losing it?)
Vicious cycle. Inescapable paranoia. A threat on every side
Free fall. Devolve
Vicious cycle. Inescapable paranoia. A threat on every side
I feel my sanity split. I’m fucking losing it
Another crack in the ice under my feet. Another cloud in the sky
In the shadow of an unseen enemy. I feel my sanity split
I’m losing it

Wash It Away
03:34
|
|||
|
I lay awake trapped in the same routine. Repeating over and over
I look ahead and I start to feel the dread of growing older and older
So what’s it gonna take to finally make a change
I’m shaking like an earthquake
It’s been building up and become too much
Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away
When you’ve had enough and it starts to flood
We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away
I hear the wind. A storm is moving in. It’s getting closer and closer.
For all these days I’ve been my own barricade, I’m not afraid anymore.
So watch me break at the shore
It’s been building up and become too much
Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away
When you’ve had enough and it starts to flood
We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away
So let it wash away. So sick and tired of waiting
Won’t stop till I’m bleeding. Break at the shore
You gotta wash it away. So sick and tired of waiting
Won’t stop till I’m bleeding
It’s been building up and become too much
Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away
When you’ve had enough and it starts to flood
We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away

Cityscapes
03:29

All the city lights that I’m seeing, they’re the only dream I believe in
I’m trying, I’m trying for you. Dying, I’m dying for you
I said hello, I say goodbye. And I’ll see you again in the next life
I’m trying, I’m trying for you. Dying, I’m dying for you
Every time I feel the nights grow cold
Your memory reminds me to stay gold
And even though sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours
This is a struggle. This is my storm
All the city lights that I’m seeing, they’re the only dream I believe in
I’m trying, I’m trying for you. Dying, I’m dying for you
I said hello, I say goodbye. And I’ll see you again in the next life
I’m trying, I’m trying for you. Dying, I’m dying for you
And every time I feel the nights grow cold
Your memory reminds me to stay gold

Earn It
03:06

Listen up, I need you to hear me out so I’ll ask this question
Think hard. Are you willing to risk it all to learn this lesson?
Embrace the change. Sometimes in life there’s pain
The things that give us hope can also take it away
You say it won’t be easy. I know it never is
Fight through fear inside me. Won’t dim the light in my chest
I’m not afraid of falling so put me to the test
Because I know that I gotta earn it
You strike the match and I’ll burn it down
Strike the match and I’ll burn it down
The truth hits harder than the lie. You sealed your fate. You chose your side
You take and you take until nothing is mine. But now I draw the line
You say it won’t be easy. I know it never is
Fight through fear inside me. Won’t dim the light in my chest
I’m not afraid of falling so put me to the test
Because I know that I gotta earn it
You strike the match and I’ll burn it down
I earned it and you didn’t. If you want it, come get it
If you want it then come and get it
You say it won’t be easy. I know it never is
I know there’s demons out there. I lay them all to rest
I’ve been to hell and back now, it’s just a place in my head
I know it’s never easy but put me to the test
Because I know that I gotta earn it
You strike the match and I’ll burn it down
Burn it down
I earned it and you didn’t. If you want it then come get it

Wrath
03:34
|
|||
|
I pulled you out from a burning wreck. But I’m the one with the broken neck
I took a chance and let you in. But it meant nothing in the bitter end
As above, so below and now you know
You can’t make me kneel. Tell me, how does it feel?
When you play God?
Tell me, how does it feel when you play God?
I know your wrath isn’t real
You thought you'd leave me for dead
Just know there’s consequences when you play God
Shadowboxing with my own fists. You’re placing bets on every miss
I saved your life, tied the tourniquet. I should’ve let it bleed out on the pavement
As above you make me feel so below
I've had enough and I hope you know
That your fate is sealed. Tell me, how does it feel?
When you play God?
Tell me, how does it feel when you play God?
I know your wrath isn’t real
You thought you'd leave me for dead
Just know there’s consequences when you play God
The only way to heal is to hurt more
I’ll embrace the pain so you should brace for war
How does it feel when you play God?

Reckoning
03:47
|
|||
|
There will be a reckoning
It’s coming back again like a chainsaw. Ripping apart what’s in its path
Coming for me but not this time around
Cries of the past are beckoning. Calling for a reckoning
When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will concede?
There will be a reckoning
Try to break me down. Cave in. give up. And start to dig the deeper grave
Buried alive but not this time. Not this time around
Cries of the past are beckoning. Calling for a reckoning
When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will concede?
There will be a reckoning
I see it. I hear it. It’s mad
I feel it and it’s coming in fast
I see it. I hear it. It’s back.
Right in my sights. Go for the kill shot
No more time to hesitate. I must act fast. I must act now
Cries of the past are beckoning. Calling for a reckoning
When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will concede?
There will be a reckoning
Run. Seek. Find. Relief
Hide from your own defeat

Breathless
03:33

We have to follow. Go where our hearts go
For better or worse, it’s both a blessing and a curse
We hold on to every moment embraced along the way
We need to see it again, live it again, hear it
That’s all we can ask for
It leaves me breathless.Takes all the air away from my lungs
I wish this was endless. If only our song could forever be sung
These days are numbered. So keep on screaming until our hearts break
We can’t keep hoping for a change. Sorrow, we still don’t wanna know
Life will not wait. It’s now or never
I said it before. I’ll say it again
So sing it again
It leaves me breathless.Takes all the air away from my lungs
I wish this was endless. If only our song could forever be sung
And I need to find a way to keep it on repeat
So that when I’m gone it goes on and on and on
In this place, is my saving grace
I know it’s my fate. Make no mistake
Take it away, take it away. Take it away, take it away
Sing it again, scream it again. Return my words to me
It leaves me breathless.Takes all the air away from my lungs
I wish this was endless. If only our song could forever be sung
And I need to find a way to keep it on repeat
So that when I’m gone it goes on and on and on
It leaves me breathless.Takes all the air away from my lungs
I wish this was endless. If only our song could forever be sung

There ARE more of us than them, and we're combat-hardened by bullshit wars wrought to feed the military-industrial-congressional complex. We need to rally and use our numbers to quash the cosplaying white nationalists, the hypocrite Christian idiots, the plutocrats and their minions, and the puppet politicians supporting vampiric Capitalism!!!
