DEN OF LIONS
04:00

I see you shape shift right in front of me
Then shed your skin like it aint nothing
If honesty's your mantra
I dont believe it
You see the thing about lies, they come with a down side
When your secrets all become weaponised
And everyone by your side
Will fucking spin on a dime
Fresh meat! Fresh meat!
In the den of lions
And man we're fucking hungry
So just give it to me
Give it to me
This isnt hope you're feeling now
It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with
Now, now, now
Its time to, its time to, its time to
Turn this around
You try to buy our silence
With empty pockets
How can you rule us from
Inside a fucking coffin
A fool will be hypnotised
By his own flame catching fire
Consuming air he needs to survive
For a moment in the light
This isnt hope you're feeling now
It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with
Now, now, now
This hate will never heal you now
I will not play in your game just to please you
Now, now, now
It's time to, its time to, its time to
Turn this around
Nobody loves you
Nobody could
I've see you fade away and
Nothing has felt this good
Nothing has felt so good
ENJOY THE FLAMES MOTHERFUCKER
This isnt hope you're feeling now
It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with
Now, now, now
This hate will never heal you now
I will not play in your game just to please you
Now, now, now
It's time to, its time to, its time to
Turn this around

SUNSHINE

My sense of compassion has led me astray
I've fooled myself to believe it's all ok
And I'm trying, I'm trying to be part of this
Cos I'm just like you
I am so full of shit
And I worry
About fucking nothing
But every little small thing
Just chips away until it all comes crashing down on me
Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me
It's like I lost my grip on all reality
I'm so used to being let down
My head's in the sky
But my life's underground
It's like this fucking depression
Feels like a fucking obsession
Don't want to feel a thing
I want to feel nothing
I get lost in distracation to keep myself sane
The world is much clearer when I'm in a daze
I am just so damn tired of trying to be someone
That I am just happy to fuck it all up
And I worry
About fucking nothing
But every little small thing
Just eats away until there's nothing left inside of me
Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me
It's like I lost my grip on all reality
I'm so used to being let down
My head's in the sky
But my life's underground
It's like this fucking depression
Feels like a fucking obsession
Don't want to feel it
So tired of feeling
It makes me feel I
Should let go
When I hold my head up high
It never feels right, it always seems I'm
Better in denial
Cos this is where I can see the sunshine
Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me
It's like I lost my grip on all reality
I'm so used to being let down
My head's in the sky
But my life's underground
It's like this fucking depression
Feels like a fucking obsession
Don't want to feel a thing
I want to feel nothing

PLAY GOD
05:04

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me, barely alive
So unassuming in the way that I'm moving
The way you like it
Memories pass me
While suspended in the static,
Doors slide
Right now I just can't fucking take this
Guess what, I know that you are full of shit
Every word you say cuts like a razor
And every smile is a blade of betrayal
Can't you see there's no fight left in me
So just of once won't you just fuck let me be
Let me be
All this pain that lies beneath
Will pull me down
And if there's a way to stop this feeling
Show me how
Don't want to be the sinner
Each time you want to play God
Play God
Powerless, paralysed
Come on baby seduce me
Cos the way you abuse me
Gets me high
Right now I just can't fucking take this
Let go, release me and I will submit
Just let me go to my place 'til it's over
It's never over
It's never over
Cos I have tried to survive as a lesser life
Each time you're done
You will not let me fucking die
Let me die
All this pain that lies beneath
Will pull me down
And if there's a way to stop this feeling
Show me how
Don't want to be the sinner
Each time you want to play God
Play God
I guess you just can't tell the difference
Between the sacred and the slave
Between what you keep on your alter
And what you keep in a cage
Now you can't pray this away
No you can't pray this away
No you can't pray this away
You can't pray this away
All this pain that lies beneath
Will pull me down
And if there's a way to stop this feeling
Show me.....
All this pain that lies beneath
Will pull me down
And if there's a way to stop this feeling
Show me how
Don't want to be the sinner
Each time you want to play god
Play God

SIRENS
04:17
|

We follow the sound
Like it's some kind of blessing
If we can't figure it out
This shit's gonna get messy
Cos we're working it out but it's proving ineffective
When you're upside down it's hard to get perspective
Cos we're working it out but it's proving ineffective
When your upside down it's hard to get perspective
They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say
Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves
We're tangled in their snare now
Cannot chew our way out
Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved
We're goin' down down down
We follow the tides
That pull the wrong direction
We're chasing the sun
To capture it's reflection
And we're blocking it out and it's proving ineffective
When you're upside down it's hard to get perspective
And we're blocking it out and it's proving ineffective
When your upside down it's hard to get perspective
They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say
Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves
We're tangled in their snare now
Cannot chew our way out
Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved
We're goin' down down down
You say no fair, there was no warning shots
What! Are you kidding me? They're pretty much all we fucking got
You're telling me, you're surprised how we got here
It's like fishing for dickheads with hand grenades
It's probably time you weren't fucking here!
They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say
Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves
We're tangled in their snare now
Cannot chew our way out
Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved
We're goin' down down down

THE CAVALRY AIN'T COMIN'
04:11
|

It pretty clear we've lost our minds
When I say stop you see it as a way to cross a line
And every second that we suffer we are closer to neglecting signs
That lead our way out
If I could give you all my love
I know you'd make every heart beat hurt
I would give you all the world
But dont you think its been broken enough?
So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this
And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this
Is it time to curl up and die?
Is it claustrophobic inside your mind
Since all your thoughts caved in?
That little bit of fear metamorphosized
And twisted you up, inside out and
I can't believe that im still breathing
You know I gave you my heart still beating
Like every moment this will come to pass
At least we saved the best for last
So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this
And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this
So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this
And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this
Is it time to curl up and die?
The fat lady sings and we pray that it's over
We count all our blessings then beg for some more
But the frequency's jammed and we can't get a word in
I guess this is it.....
the heroes ain't comin'
I can't believe that im still breathing
You know I gave you my heart still beating
Like every moment this will come to pass
At least we saved the best for last
So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this
And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this
So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this
And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this
Is it time to curl up and die?

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
04:02

I pray to god it wouldnt come to this,
Cos these secrets that you're sleeping on are now awake
AWAKE!!
These bloodstains aint going away
They're in your soul
So forget someone else to blame
Where does this not make sense?
Inside out you're destroyed in the evidence
Down to the core your are screaming
Guilty
Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out
Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out
There is no strength in weakness
If you live, if you die, nature couldn't care less
The deal is joy or pain
You've picked your number
Better play that game
This will be all gone in a breath
Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out
Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out
So damn easlily
So fuckin' ealisy
Like the piece of shit..shit!!
Like the piece of shit
You are but won't admit it, no!
I pray to god it wouldnt come to this, no
I pray to god it wouldnt come to
Wouldnt come to, wouldnt come to this
I have no doubt
That this world will chew you up and spit you out
Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out

FIRE AT WILL
04:06
|
|||
Hate is the bane of my life
I've tried but I can't stop it
It fucks like a bullet and
Soothes just like barbed wire
I've been happy
But before too long
It feels very wrong
Whats that about?
I must stay in love with this pain
As torture goes, I know this is they way
I want this so all my mistakes
And all of my sins are forgiven
Oh
Its time for the pity parade, cos you're alone
So damn excited to finally let you know
That everything that I said to you, I never meant it
Cos it is not what you say, right?
Its how you sell it
Its how you sell it
Let me bleed, bleed for once
Call it a mercy kill
And fire at will before I go numb
I got a feeling that you're living
Now to just piss me off
Go run with razors or
Kiss some electricity
Oh you got me
Nestled in a closed fist
Like a little bitch
Whats that about
I must stay addicted to shame
As penance goes, i know this is the way
I need this, i'll take all the blame
So all my mistakes are forgiven
Let me bleed, bleed for once
Call it a mercy kill
And fire at will before I go numb
I just want speak like
I've got something to say
And you'll pretend you care anyway
I want to reach out
I want to hold on before I let go
I dont believe this
You used to say we'd bleed as one
Now you've dishonoured everything
I ever fucking loved
Let me bleed, bleed for once
Call it a mercy kill
And fire at will before I go numb
I just want speak like
I've got something to say
And you'll pretend you care anyway
I want to reach out
I want to hold on before I let go

TO NIGHT
03:49

I always though I was invincible
But now I'm just invisible
And I've been living here as a ghost
Come serenade me with a sideways glance
From behind a wall of broken glass
Come medicate me, put me in a trance
It feels like fucking war
Without saying a word
Don't drown me in the light
Cos I am holding on to night
Afraid now to let go
Of what I don't know
Can we take this down a decibel
Now, before my fucking head explodes
It feels like fucking war
Without saying a word
We've hidden all we are
Behind dishonest harmony
Don't drown me in the light
Cos I am holding on to night
Afraid now to let go
Of what I don't know
Darkness comes to me
Like a bitter-sweet epiphany
Now that the sun has faded,
It's so clear that sight was over-rated
Don't drown me in the light
Cos I am holding on to night
Don't drown me in the light
Cos I am holding on to night

THICKER SKIN
05:16
|

Where do you get this attitude from kid?
It's like you know you are right
Even though you are a fool
I've seen all the walls
Of arrogance fall
Man, they caved in
When they got far too high
For their tiny little roots
"Give me more"
You scream into the void
"I want the richest skin
something to hide my weakness in"
I am lost in a rhythm
Heading for collision
Oh, I'm totally out of my zone
Man on a mission
All trigger, no vision oh
I've no control
And I think I'll hurt you so
Don't force my hand
It's all I need
So just leave me alone
Come on get up off the floor
And don't let the door offend you as you leave
My god you are so casually
Hooked on fucking sympathy
It's so sad to see
Please no more
Cos I am fuckin bored
Just grow some thicker skin
Something to sink my teeth in
I am lost in a rhythm
Heading for collision
Oh, I'm totally out of my zone
Man on a mission
All trigger, no vision oh
I've no control
And I think I'll hurt you so
Don't force my hand
It's all I need
So just leave me alone
No I can't, I can't wait
No I can't, I can't wait
No I can't, I can't wait
No I can't, I can't wait
No I can't, I can't wait
To slap that smile off your fucking face
You're full of shit & confidence
You imitate importance
You take everything and do your best
To make it all about yourself
Actions have consequence
You dime store narcissist
I am lost in a rhythm
Heading for collision
Oh, I'm totally out of my zone
Man on a mission
All trigger, no vision oh
I've no control
And I think I'll hurt you so
Don't force my hand
It's all I need
So just leave me alone

Husband & Father
Tell us we are all dreaming
And that you're not really leaving us all
Cos in this chaos
I don't even know if this is all real
When you were taken
Man, i tried so hard, but couldn't believe it
Your family
Is your legacy,
I know there was nothing more important
Than the people that you loved
I want my life to flash before my eyes
While I'm alive
So I can see you one more time
One more time
It's like I'm waiting all my life
All my life
To say goodbye
Brother, Grandfather
Show us that you can hear us
And that these black skies will clear up one day
Cos in the silence
Just a single note can fill up a room
We'll bring the voices
All you have to do is bring the tune
And we'll sing that song again
We will sing that song again
I want my life to flash before my eyes
While I'm alive
So I can see you one more time
One more time
It's like I'm waiting all my life
All my life
To say goodbye
I'm holding on to hurt that I've denied
I've denied
Until i see you one more time
I won't cry
And I will wait for all my life
All my life
To say goodbye
Say goodbye
I want my life to flash before my eyes
While I'm alive
So I can see you one more time
One more time
It's like I'm waiting all my life
All my life
To say goodbye
I'm holding on to hurt that I've denied
I've denied
Until i see you one more time
I won't cry
And I will wait for all my life
All my life
To say goodbye
Say goodbye
