Disavowal 03:27
You never even paused to think of me Or how your actions would reflect on my life You pushed me out, a young and naive kid with no help, just fed me to the fire I was burnt, charred, from the world I was forced into I was burnt, scorched by the life I was made to live I've been trying so hard to prove I can be what I've always said To show the world that I'm not weak, that I have the fortitude to make it, to pave my own path It's been so hard, and I've fallen so many times But I've gotta get up, and make my way through this life without your fucking help I'm fine without you You did nothing for me I'm alive, no thanks to you You did nothing for me I'll spend my life knowing who I am is from what I proved to myself I could be

These iron sights are all I can see Looking down the barrel of an enemy They shoot to kill, they're coming after me And while I fight for my life that's right in front of my eyes, I try to make sense of hypocrisy Firing bullets from a silver tongue, dripping poison, viscous venom like a deadly drug I am not the only one to be a victim of the world I came from I am not the only one to be a victim of the world I came from I am not the only one For everyone who ever felt like they were hopeless Like their walls were caving in You are not alone, you can stand and fight You don't have to toss and turn every sleepless night And the scars of the broken ones will mend, and they can try again Hatred breeds hatred, open up your eyes See the ones you've always victimized We will no longer only sit and hide We are here now, so welcome to your demise

Cronus 03:40
Screaming just to drown out the voices in my head Might be better off dead all pumped up full of lead Maybe it's me, I'm being dramatic but if you cross me you'll regret it when your skull is shattered Give up on the path that you've chosen, your hope is gone and your bone, they're all broken You're only waiting on a second chance, but after everything you did you weren't worth a glance I know what keeps you up at night, and I know where you sleep There's something you can't tell anyone, there's a secret you're keeping I know what keeps you up, I know where you sleep I could recreate the nightmares, I could still pretend that I care You'll run and hide, from a beast that you created You'll run and hide, while you body is still shaking You better pray, pray for forgiveness, because god's the only one who can save you now You better pray(I could recreate the nightmares) You better pray(I could still pretend that I care) I want so badly just to never speak to you, you gave me nothing, what do I even owe you You said you'd rather be alone You said you'd rather be alone I will erase everything you've ever loved I will empty out your heart and your souls I can take away your pain but I'll replace it with something much, much worse Replaced with something worse

Presence 04:23
There's a moment after sleep takes you to your dreams Where you thought you'd be safe from the creature I've grown to be But I'm always returning, never stopping And I've been searching for solace for far too long, I've come so close to it I've given everything, it's taken everything I, no longer can hope for returning Lost in all of this strife we've been through I'm not the man I once was, this shell is no longer empty He's lost in the shadow on me Lost in the shadow of my former self Don't you ever forget me, time is always leaving We can see this through, we can see this through Don't you ever forget me, time is always leaving We can see this through, we can see this through I'll wait inside your dreams I will be the face you see when you're asleep You will hear my voice I'll wait inside your dreams I will be the face you see when you're asleep You will hear my voice I'll be your terror in the endless night Don't you ever forget me, time is always leaving We will see this through, we will see this through

Wanderer 04:27
This dark that drags me down is not all in my head I need a fucking reason to move on through this Bullshit life's put me through, oh god when will it end What else can you put me through, why god why Pain stemming from my delusions Love lost inside this empty soul Hate brewing in my blackened eyes Hope seeping through self-made wounds And I wish, you were here to save me but I know you cant And I know I can save myself, but I wish for an end Done with the pain, now come close, it's my time now Hurt into hate It's your turn, feel what I did, suffer by my hand, drown in your pain Eye's pitch black, sanity lost Set my sights, on your life We are all alone in this room Blades tearing at your flesh, mangling your body, you're screaming for an end
