lyrics

ohhh suffering the fate of all my pain... cant seem to fight it, ow! im going insane... carve open my flesh dedicating the feeling... am i alive? NO! im dead de de dead de dead... but breathing... ohhhh the rush, my brain is seething... theres so much blood that nobody would believe me... whats taking this so long, what was i thinking... will i survive? NO! im dead de de dead de dead... but breathing... crawling up the walls inside my head... hanging from the ceiling with all my dread... lonely is the life i choose to lead... remove my flesh and watch me bleed... im all alone and there is no one to save me... laying in bed, basting in my own gravy... the door bell rings but someone tell them im sleeping... wake me up!! im dead de de dead de dead... but breathing... correct assumption life is done... connect the lines the dots have won... nothing left over my bones... once im dead, i will be home... 'cause im dead de de dead de dead... but breathing...

Blood. Sweat. Years 03:32
lyrics
buy track
blood. sweat. years. one foot left in the grave what's another day spent as the slave freedom is what i should crave but it comes with all the pain we are slaves... who's gonna save? you know your name... that crown of thorns brought you the fame? it brought you the fame... blood sweat and years... (blood. sweat. years.) the same pattern through the tears... i'm facing all my fear... (blood. sweat. years.) before i die, my vision will be clear... it will be clear... with my blood sweat and years... jesus cried through the rain but spilled the wine made with bloody shame not fit to call his name so where shall i place the blame? we are slaves... who's gonna save? you know your name... that crown of thorns brought you the fame? it brought you the fame... blood sweat and tears... (blood. sweat. tears.) the same pattern through the years... i'm facing all my fear... (blood. sweat. years.) before i die, my vision will be clear... it will be clear... it will be clear... blood sweat and years... (blood. sweat. years.) the same pattern through the tears... i'm facing all my fear... (blood. sweat. years.) before i die, my vision will be clear... it will be clear... it will be clear... my blood sweat and years...

tiny pieces bittersweet rage clouding my visions everytime i see your face... constant reminder of my own attrition all that time to fucking waste... blinding myself with killing the selfish person locked inside of you... fighting the instict of being so distinct in saying that i'll murder you... alright... calming salvation slowly eases my mind thinking what i'd like to do... picturing myself quietly making tiny pieces out of you... fingers and toes and even your nose fits quaint in a bag so nobody knows... pull out your eyes and smash all your teeth then burn all the hair so it's so fucking neat... blinding myself with killing the selfish person locked inside of you... fighting the instict of being so distinct in saying that i'll murder you... fingers and toes and even your nose fits quaint in a bag so nobody knows... pull out your eyes and smash all your teeth then burn all the hair so it's so fucking neat... fingers and toes and even your nose fits quaint in a bag so nobody knows... pull out your eyes and smash all your teeth then burn all the hair so it's so fucking neat... picturing myself... quietly making... tiny pieces out of you... picturing myself... quietly making... tiny pieces out of you... well i'm making tiny pieces out of you... making tiny pieces out of you... i'm making tiny pieces out of you... making tiny pieces... out of you... out of you... making tiny pieces... out of you...

DEBT 04:21
lyrics

debt sunk in a pit of my own despair why should anybody even care? it's not like i didnt dig my own grave refusing to be your fucking slave... now! we must fill the lies we swallow... we must kill so that we can borrow... life is debt the only guarantee... stand by yourself... while they watch you bleed... locked away in this cage of bone rotting flesh holding on to my soul... on my way to appease the man give him my nickles for a grain of sand! now! we must fill the lies we swallow... we must kill so that we can borrow... life is debt the only guarantee... stand by yourself... while they watch you bleed...
