Yet again it's fucking over Yet again it's fucking over You pull them closer then you push them away again You pull them closer then you push them away again I make a friend, I lose a lover I make a friend, I lose a lover You pull them closer then you push them away again You pull them closer then you push them away again Help me because 'What the fuck!' Leave me cos I'm all messed up Treat me like a dying friend... ...we know how this story ends... Bleed me till I'm all used up See me This is all pretend Free me Gotta make it end Bleed me... Love slips away and all you've got to show for it is pain and decay So find a way to start again... Oh, this is not the end of the world. It doesn't stop because you lose a girl. Waiting around for something you've found that's makebelieve Waiting around for something you've found that's makebelieve Waiting around trying to be found is gonna be the death of us all... Make this life my own, I will never get another one You pull them closer then you push them away again You pull them closer then you push them away again Taking chances on romances You pull them closer then you push them away again You pull them closer then you push them away again Help me because 'What the fuck!' Leave me cos I'm all messed up Treat me like a dying friend... ...we know how this story ends... Bleed me till I'm all used up See me This is all pretend Free me Gotta make it end Bleed me... Love slips away and all you've got to show for it is pain and decay So find a way to start again... Oh, this is not the end of the world. It doesn't stop because you lose a girl. Waiting around for something you've found that's makebelieve Waiting around for something you've found that's makebelieve Waiting around trying to be found is gonna be the death of us all...

Shallow graves for shallow people 05:04
lyrics

All those feelings All become so clear You don't know them but they feel so real... Digitally you are royalty but socially you will always be a no one Been sick for way too long, this could be my therapy I never wanted to be, I never wanted to be this way Like Jeffrey Dahmer said, 'this loneliness is killing me' I think it's time I killed someone else instead... I haven't really thought this through But maybe I could start with you Or turn my attentions to someone new The first cut, no turning back Smaller pieces in a garbage sack After that everything turns black..... Fuck you.... Keep it playing, subscribe to the fear You don't know them but they feel so real... Digitally you are royalty but socially you will always be a no one Been sick for way too long, this could be my therapy I never wanted to be, I never wanted to be this way Like Jeffrey Dahmer said, 'this loneliness is killing me' I think it's time I killed someone else instead... Pull it together now piece by piece A little killing and a sweet release A basic bitch is always easy to please... A little pleasure can feel so strong I heard a noise maybe something's wrong Hide the body...don't take long... Social media has given a voice to every motherfucker but also the choice of whether you should open up your mouth and let all your fake shit fall out. When most of what you say is shit as long as you got a face that fits and a hashtag that helps you relate to the other idiots you rate ITS A NEVERENDING SELF APPRAISING SELFIE TAKING MASTURBATING CONDESCENDING MASS OFFENDING COCK SUCKING BACK STABBING SELF FRIENDING SELF SERVING CHANNEL FLICKING FRIEND PERVING... Feeding off the clicks Feeding off the likes Feeding off the void... How did we end up so fucking empty? How did we lose our way so fast? Is this really where we are? How the fuck is this goiing to last? Someone tell me Someone help me Fuck it all.. All those feelings All become so clear You don't know them but they feel so real... Digitally you are royalty but socially you will always be a no one Been sick for way too long, this could be my therapy I never wanted to be, I never wanted to be this way Like Jeffrey Dahmer said, 'this loneliness is killing me' I think it's time I killed someone else instead... I haven't really thought this through But maybe I could start with you Or turn my attentions to someone new Shallow graves for shallow people

Unbroken 05:18
lyrics

Well I've been around the towns and the cities The clowns and fake titties and the ass kissing idiots Been shot down, flat broke and desolate I've lost a few friends to suicide and heroin How you gonna miss a guy you're never gonna see again I sure hope that they are listening... Have mercy, that kind of shit would kill a lesser man It's getting hard on the knees, I'm only eager to please, What you gonna do at times like these? The boys alright he can put up a fight Believe it And you can kiss my ass on the way out the door when you're leaving To try and bring this motherfucker down ain't gonna be easy I'm doing alright believe me Well I lost my cash and I lost my bed Then I lost my soul to a bitch I wish I'd never had Time in jail wasn't half so bad Beaten by police and venereal diseases I drank a whisky river till my liver was in pieces A few hard knocks don't mean I can be defeated Have mercy, that kind of shit would kill a lesser man It's getting hard on the knees, I'm only eager to please, What you gonna do at times like these? The boys alright he can put up a fight Believe it And you can kiss my ass on the way out the door when you're leaving To try and bring this motherfucker down ain't gonna be easy I'm doing alright believe me Take what they want Keep what you need Have mercy, that kind of shit would kill a lesser man It's getting hard on the knees, I'm only eager to please, What you gonna do at times like these? The boys alright he can put up a fight Believe it And you can kiss my ass on the way out the door when you're leaving To try and bring this motherfucker down ain't gonna be easy I'm doing alright believe me That's right, I'm doing alright...

The worst for me 05:45
lyrics

Another story about a boy with a plan Living the life before he became a man Had all the answers, I knew the way But ask me a question I got nothing to say.. It's like a book that's left unread And all the words are left unsaid Everyone will analyse it when you're dead... Well I guess that it's been said That I'm going off my head Hey! Well that's alright with me Cos the only way is down When everyone in town Only wants the worst for me I'm dry and sarcastic Black as the lungs Drinking so much I will start talking in tongues It's pretty amusing but most of the time I'm paying the price but I did not do the crime It's like you're favourtie time in the past Coming back to fuck you right in the ass And everyone you know has got a backstage pass... Well I guess that it's been said That I'm going off my head Hey! Well that's alright with me Cos the only way is down When everyone in town Only wants the worst for me Well I guess that it's been said That I'm going off my head Hey! Well that's alright with me Cos the only way is down When everyone in town Only wants the worst for me

There is an empty feeling Keeping me from sleeping Like my heart is bleeding What if I am wrong? This is the culture This isn't fun Flicking through millions But never the one... Being a bastard Being a sleaze Faking the feeling Spread the disease... There's nothing left to say, As you watch it waste away And you're trying to pretend Oh fuck There it goes again That old familiar friend When everything is lost Can you pay that cost? Is feeling alone like feeling feeling alive? Tearing apart the best days of your life Is bleeding alone The worst way to die? Maybe you can laugh about it but the joke is getting thin... You gotta be bleak about it You'll never survive without it Optimism won't mean shit when it goes wrong You're feeding the vultures Sicken the tongue Running on empty and loading the gun Feeling sadistic Feeling at ease Can't see the forest Can't see the trees There's nothing left to say, As you watch it waste away And you're trying to pretend Oh fuck There it goes again That old familiar friend When everything is lost Can you pay that cost? Is feeling alone like feeling feeling alive? Tearing apart the best days of your life Is bleeding alone The worst way to die? Maybe you can laugh about it but the joke is getting thin...

Not my problem 04:04
lyrics

This is where the story starts, a broken hand and a broken heart.. Guys like me we always break when girls like you just take take take Your innocence is temporary Your arrogance is legendary When you throw it away and got nowhere to go Not my problem When you meet someone else and they expect you to blow Not my problem When you're laying on your back cos you're needing the dough Not my problem You better think fast because you're on your own Not my problem anymore! Same old bullshit every time Still I fell for every line People told me you were sick I gotta stop thinking with my dick Your innocence is temporary Your arrogance is legendary When you throw it away and got nowhere to go Not my problem When you meet someone else and they expect you to blow Not my problem When you're laying on your back cos you're needing the dough Not my problem You better think fast because you're on your own Not my problem anymore!

Emotional Exile 05:45
lyrics
buy track
Beauty dripping from a razorblade Bleeding emotions and I'm not afraid Because when you strip it back and peel away the skin You'll find an honesty beneath the suffering No need for self control, it isn't needed here Just head along the path the destination is clear All we are? Walking sacks of rotting skin. All we become? Empty corpses mourning for them. Meaning, glistening as it fades away. Dreaming that it can be any other way. Faith in yourself couldn't be any more misplaced and Shame, nothing else...even as you lie disgraced in hell. Believe me, it takes a while to return from emotional exile. Believe me, it's hard to smile as you burn in emotional exile. Believe me, it takes a while to return from emotional exile.

Let it fall apart 05:54
lyrics

Are you ready? Here it comes.... I got the money I got the best I got it all and I never took a test I fell in love I saw the world I took the drugs and I fucked the girls (well hello sir how about a job?) I never gave a fuck I never gave a fuck (how about a girl who loves you?) Well I don't give a shit And I will push it all away I will tear it down Tear that fucker down Burn it to the ground Burn it all.... I see no reason why I self destruct all the time There must be something more to life than pushing through the endless shit that's so predictable... (well we would love to give you one more chance..) Why don't you fuck yourself Just go and fuck yourself (we feel this is a place you can grow) I'd rather eat my dick, throw up and flush it all away I will tear it down Tear that fucker down Burn it to the ground Burn it all..... I see no reason why I self destruct all the time There must be something more to life than pushing through the endless shit that is so predictable... This is not the time to let it fall apart Can't you see the signs? You let it fall apart The same thing every time You let it fall apart

Just another drunk in the woods 04:56
lyrics

Keep driving the car as fast as you can Never wait for the world to understand You open your eyes but you never see Too blinded by hate and your misery. Gave up on love and now you are looking for trust Gods still alive but she is in disgust Don't make waves boy, Don't make them.. Don't take chances Don't take them.. The things that we do are so rarely planned It's not your age that makes you a man I'll tell you something for free...who in the hell would wanna be me? Lost at sea, at the edge of the Earth, But you keep treading water for what it's worth You're so scared of dying but too young to live Keep taking it all with nothing to give Don't make waves boy Don't make them Don't take chances Don't take them The things that we say are so rarely true Just keep your mouth shut and keep pushing through I'll tell you something for free Who in this hell would wanna be me?
