Bite 03:12
Smoke em if you've got em Cause nothing's for free This cash that I made is for me Bang on the drums You can sound the alarm I'll sleep like a babe while you're out in the street I've earned what I've got now I'm up on the top You're a pawn that I know how to play So give it your best shot Let it rain Let it drown you in the same Cut the chord This world is ours to take Pull back the curtain Open the gate Let it rain And fight back every day Rats in a cage starving for days Fighting for scraps that they give Days turn to nights under fluorescent lights At least I'm in here and they're over there It's easier to fight a fake enemy than climb to the top of the strings Bred like dogs with small rewards This is a reckoning It's time you get what you deserve Let it rain Let it drown you in the same Cut the chord This world is ours to take Pull back the curtain Open the gate Let it rain And fight back every day We are a force to be reckoned with As we tear off our strings Those with the power to change the world have taken it for themselves As they pass the torch, we become the rain And snuff them out And snuff them out Pull back the curtain Open the gate We are the rain And we will drown you out

Frustration 03:10
Pulling in both directions Letting go of truth We're giving up All alone in the basement Biggest name in a crowded room Logging off, logging on to the faceless Bring hell with the click of a button No longer recognize the place that is in front of me Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt? Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency But we don't blink We swallow it down again Take a moment to check your facts Cause once you break the dam it's hard to build it back To build it back No longer recognize the place that is in front of me Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt? Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency But we don't blink We swallow it down We fill our cup but it's polluted at the source Forget the truth What we want is something more In this dirt all we're gonna grow are thorns It's time to take back our reality Is it ever enough No longer recognize the place that is in front of me Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt? Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency But we don't blink We swallow it down We fill our cup but it's polluted at the source Forget the truth What we want is something more In this dirt all we're gonna grow are thorns It's time to take back our reality

Shithead 01:08
I am a shithead A dick in many ways Try to be nice but it's more than I can take I see a moron want to hit him in the face I shove it down but I just might break I have a problem when you try to disagree We flip a coin but it always lands on me Who can I blame for this fucked up mental state I'm another asshole who thinks he's great Maybe this all is just a phase It's only gone on twenty seven years The fear that I will never change But who cares I think I'm doing great I can never see why you don't agree with me In reality I'm the dick and maybe it's just me A better way could've happened if I planned it And I could've tried to understand it Because your point of view is another truth, another truth It's all the same we always point the blame But we never try listening It's time we suffer through or live with backwards twisted truth We will disagree But I'll try to comprehend and then maybe We'll stop wading in this shit

Is this what you want? Roots are rotting out Head is in the clouds Patience wearing thin with everyone around When all the bridges burn and the well runs out Will your story change? This is my life. Live for the high Terrified you've made a big mistake I'm on the path. You hold me back Did I help create this? On my way Broken hands from beating on this wall Best of luck Live life like there's no tomorrow It's easier said than done The odds in your favor Still gave it to the house On the road to nowhere (Breaking backs along the way) Nothing left to do But just stay out of your way You know what I have to say Is it making sense? Backed into a corder Losing my best friend Stubborn in your beliefs Remind me of me But you're losing everything Live life like there's no tomorrow It's easier said than done The odds in your favor Still gave it to the house On the road to nowhere (Breaking backs along the way) Nothing left to do But just stay out of your way Fuck your high Just come down Realize you're fading out Not burning bright It's a lie Losing time Lost your mind You gotta take it back Live life like there's no tomorrow It's easier said than done The odds in your favor Still gave it to the house On the road to nowhere (Breaking backs along the way) Nothing left to do But just stay out of your way Lost your mind Lost your mind You gotta take it back

Deep Down 03:25
It's written on all our faces It's on the tip of my tongue If there's a devil we made it Inside of everyone Trying to find something left in me Looking for a little empathy If I fake it long enough maybe I'll get it right Can you feel it? Can you feel it? I feel it in my blood Can you take it? Can you take it? And is it ever enough? I wanna break I wanna break the skin Rectify what I'm holding it Face it all and never second guess Break the walls I built inside my head Lying to myself just to get a grip Hiding in the comfort of emptiness When I'm all alone I feel more alive Can you feel it? Can you feel it? I feel it in my blood Can I make it? Can I make it? I'm running out of time I wanna break I wanna break the skin Rectify what I'm holding it Face it all and never second guess Break the walls I built inside my head Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it sneaking in? I wanna make it No longer fake it I wanna take control of me I wanna take control I wanna break I wanna break the skin Rectify what I'm holding it Face it all and never second guess Break the walls I built inside my head Inside my head
