Grave Digger 00:32

Clairvoyant 03:59
Negative thoughts like a black hole hold the future A vivid world changes for the worst before our eyes More blood shed of the innocent than tears cried of those helplessly standing by What forebears once built upon unity, slowly dies in the palm of the wrong hand We are damned; we are imbecile Open the eyes of the children as their short lives flash before them Cleanse yourself of all burdens you’ve once borne Liberty was just a fabrication to make us feel sheltered Now the realization comes, soon we all die Foolishly believing everything portrayed in front of us We will always be one step closer to eternity There are better things to perish for There is no hope left

Hardhearted 03:30
Commit this to memory Not all that you see will be what it seems Disguises, a wolf among sheep Deception, oh how can you sleep? Do you not know what you've done to me? Ravaged and rotten, all compassion forgotten A fear of fate flooding your thoughts Let the karma consume you whole You get what you deserve I knew all along whom you’d turn out to be I pray that God sends you relief But you felt his love, but didn't care Never glancing back at the ones who brought you here We were foolish to think you’d change Some things never change Grenade in a glass house But yet your mouth stays running You're trapped inside with no way out You cannot make a sound I knew all along whom you’d turn out to be I pray that God sends you relief You felt his love, but didn't care Never glancing back at the ones who brought you here We were foolish to think you’d change Some things never change I watched you swim in your own blood, torn limb from limb You’ve done this to yourself Because the voice of reason could’ve guided your way

Faith in me is like a hollow glass After twenty years, you still hold hate inside your heart The scent of white wine fills the air each time you pass Judgment and neglect was what tore this family apart I’d hang you both from the highest noose No stool to guide your feet There never should have been any emotional abuse Our family could have been more discreet You have no part in my future; you’ve made it this way I chose to make myself happy and lay you, my creator, in your grave You are no longer my mother, but now a piece of the earth, as you decay I’ve buried you next to your groom, whom I had no intention to save Did he manipulate your thoughts of me? I bet he took every positive word you said and made you choke on them
5.
Tired eyes looked for purpose in all the wrong places Putting my faith into unfamiliar faces I almost gave up; I almost ended my life I realized I had one last fight I am the only one who can change, change the mistakes that I’ve made Not the past, but my future, and I’m glad that I stayed I will never go back, I’m going to be the light I want to see Because true happiness starts within me
6.
I need you now, like oxygen to breathe

Feign 03:46
With lies like spider webs, I'm caught within the nonsense you've filled in my head Lack of reasoning and judgment, our world was abundant, but isn't that the way it always seems? Drinking away your sorrows because I'm gone, you're a wreck, while looking for a place to belong Our future seemed so promising and bright, burning my pupils upon first sight But with time came wisdom and it didn't take long to realize who you'd been all along A serpentine, you slithered your way into me Viscous scales, bruising every inch of my heart Poisonous bite, you thought you'd have me wounded for the rest of my life You're just a memory, a fading memory You're nothing in this world without me
8.
Left Behind 02:50
A crack in our hearts, a void you once filled And now you’re gone from the world that together we built Bitter does not do justice to the feelings we reap But now we hold, all we hold, is the burden of all your deceit Nothing worth having comes easy We thought you lived by the words that you preached Brotherhood is more than blood, rather concrete You’re departure is unsettling, so different than we were imaging The dreams we set out to achieve, but yet you say you don’t believe We’re going anywhere, quicksand at our feet We’ve pulled it together and will never accept defeat The strong have remained, we have moved on
