02. Declaration (You Can't Destroy What You Can Not Replace)

The damned ascend upon impurities of heart
We waste no time to start this war

A declaration
Cut you down at the knees
These false ideals we'll never be a part of
A declaration
For what you could never swear to me

You're just a trend, a lamb in sheep's clothing
Time to strike the nerve and erase
We are standing right here and we'll stand here forever
You can't destroy what you can not replace

This is our time for redemption

And I see it in your eyes
A soldier of fortune in clones
This day I'll hide from your reflection in the mirror
No sanctuary, no fucking hope

Now stand to your feet
Out of your shadows a plague to me
We are the prodigal sons and daughters
No fear of death and sorrow or failure

You're just a trend, a lamb in sheep's clothing
Time to strike the nerve and erase
We are standing right here and we'll stand here forever
You can't destroy what you can not replace

And I see it in your eyes
A soldier of disgusting clones
You always hide from your reflection in the mirror
No sanctuary, no fucking hope

Let me explain so you can understand me
You're all fake to me
Let me scream so you can fucking hear me
You're all a plague
Another sickness to me

03. Orange County Blonde And Blue

Name one thing you've ever fucking had to give your goddamn life for
I've endured enough bitterness deflating hearts complete disgust
But you're fucking perfect your life's so perfect
Until you follow my footsteps through shallow waters I've overcome

What do you know about sacrifice?
You're just an afterthought
Flesh without bone
So here you sleep in your kingdom
You walk through shit to rest on your throne

I gave my life to this and I've watched my distance grow
I've paid enough disconnect from the people I've grown to love
So who the fuck are you? You bare the curse of the snake
I've heard every insult I won't suffer you emptiness

What do you know about sacrifice?
You're just an afterthought
Flesh without bone
So here you sleep in your kingdom
You walk through shit to rest on your throne

I've sacrificed enough for this life so get the fuck out of my way

You're just flesh without bone
So get the fuck out of my way

04. Germany

There was a wall constructed inside of me ripping through my heart
And brick by brick I'll slave to tear it all down

Say goodbye to loneliness the past is finally dead
There is no allegiance the past is finally dead

I felt so trapped a stranger frozen to these streets
With broken bones, wounds I swore would never heal
I always hoped for something true but
My emotions were always conflicted, so conflicted
Next stop the Berlin Bridge
I once gave my heart for black hair pale skin and broken English
My life was always so confined
Like being chained against the flow of the gutter

I had no worth only a hunger for excess to fill the gaps
There was no depth to this abyss

So conflicted
From this day forward
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve
It's ten below outside but it's pale in comparison
To how frozen my judgment used to be

There is no regrets the past is finally dead
The past is finally dead
I have no regrets
None

05. There Was A Flood

Say goodnight young dagger have the years been kind to you?
Or have they left you vacant with so much left to prove
It should be none of your concern but the pain has been lifted away
Fatally eternally

Overcome and overthrow
The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor
So dry your eyes before you cry another river
And breath-by-breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me

I'll dam your flood away from me
Only out of spite I must
I will throw you away
Always I'll fight off your grip on my existence

I won't feel sorry for this spit in the eye
Sending seizures through your frozen veins

There is no giving into you
It took a lifetime to forget your name
I swallowed everything you said
Exhale the poison the dwells within your soul

Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself

Say goodnight young dagger have the years been kind to you?
Or have they left you vacant with so much left to prove
It should be none of your concern but the pain has been lifted away
Fatally eternally

Overcome and overthrow
The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor
So dry your eyes before you cry another river
And breath-by-breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me

I'll dam your flood away from me
Only out of spite I must
I will throw you away
Always I'll fight off your grip on my existence

There is no giving into you
It took a lifetime to forget your name
I swallowed everything you said
Exhale the poison the dwells within your soul

Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself

06. French Inquisition

Never before have I felt so alone so insignificant
So out of place so out of mind
All accomplishments are barren
One thousand eyes are staring at me now
With pure hate and disregard
Cold voices a realization of something they don't want to hear
All I want is to make you believe but I can't see your face
as the smoke fills the air

All I want is to make you believe
Just to make you believe

I've never let you see me hurt
I've never let you feel my pain
Cause I know there's another reason
All your opinions can't stop what's coming
My skin has grown thick for your sharpest blade

Cold voices a realization of something they don't want to hear
All I want is to make you believe but I can't see your face as the smoke fills the air

I can't breathe as the smoke fills the air
As the smoke fills the air
Is this a fucking nightmare?
This is a nightmare
Or just the worst night of my life?

I'm standing right here
I need to believe
My heart is surrounded by glass
So cast your stones at will
Cause I need to believe
Your words won't make me question why I'm here
Cause I need to believe

I've never let you see me hurt
I've never let you feel my pain
Cause I know there's another reason
All your opinions can't stop what's coming
My skin has grown thick for your sharpest blade

Cold voices a realization of something they don't want to hear
All I want is to make you believe but I can't see your face as the smoke fills the air

I'm standing right here
I need to believe
My heart is surrounded by glass
So cast your stones at will
Cause I need to believe
Your words won't make me question why I'm here
Cause I need to believe

07. Reborn From Isolation

Swallowing rock and sand
Arise from the dead
Ten years of solitude
And ten years left to destroy
Scars on my face dragged by this machine
The vapor in my lungs represents my broken dreams

Now what have you left to destroy?
I'm reborn from isolation

Flashing your eyes offer your heart
Your child of 93
Construct your shell
Ten years unsafe to sleep

Now what have you left to destroy?
I'm reborn from isolation

Reborn
Now I'm reborn

In your arms it was so reassuring that you would never care for me
Inside your black sinful desire rest my battle for eternity

And now you're too weak to fucking stop me

I'll take my frustration out on you
I'll cut my displeasure out of you

Inhaling dust and ash
I'm back from the dead
Decay of this hopelessness now one more left to remain
Holes in my face raped by miss machine
One breath through perversion to shatter your hopes and dreams

Now what have you left to destroy?
I'm reborn from isolation

Reborn
Now I'm reborn

In your arms it was so reassuring that you would never care for me
Inside your black sinful desire rest my battle for eternity

08. Death Anxiety

My body will be set aflame tonight
Even though my heart will remain it's cold as ice inside
I feel my fists are buried in the pavement
Helpless to the rotting cancer set to ruin my life

I awake to this anxiety
That every breath, every step might be my last

I feel I'm growing numb a slight chill to my flesh
Like one million knives stabbing a hole through my chest
There is no comfort my surroundings bleak as night
The angels of death are awaiting for me to line me in their sights

Lifeless I fear the wrath of God
I hear the dead speak through the walls
Remember me eternal sleep awaits me underground
I will await for you to follow to the other side

I feel closer now
To walk with the dead
Every night I fear is the last with you
So please remember what it meant

I feel I'm growing numb a slight chill to my flesh
Like one million knives stabbing a hole through my chest
There is no comfort my surroundings bleak as night
The angels of death are awaiting for me to line me in their sights

I awake to this anxiety
That every breath, every step might be my last

Lifeless I fear the wrath of God
I hear the dead speak through the walls
Remember me eternal sleep awaits me underground
I will await for you to follow to the other side

09. The Loving Memory Of England

This road I know is dark and cold
And I've given everything to these roads I know
And I've given it my all
Dark and cold

10. Beneath The Grey

Worthless I'm dying before you
Courtesy of misled expectations
Disdain because I've swallowed your venom
You built this up so you could piss this away

I'll write this off all of you
This conversation's heading south
To your jaded cliffs headfirst
And all you empty praises
Second coming of a nameless Christ
Hide behind your royal curtain
Beneath the grey it's black and white

Beyond your elitist tongues over saturated graves
What was the price for perfection? Now bound to the sea
Oh yeah you're bound to the fucking sea again

Beyond your elitist tongues over saturated graves
What was the price for perfection? Now bound to the sea
Oh yeah you're bound to the fucking sea again

I know I'm here
And it's not another puppet in your show
And you expect me to smile and take it?

Worthless worthless
Now the bitter taste you're debt to be paid
Worthless fucking worthless
Seven years of being stabbed in the back

I'll write this off all of you
This conversation's heading south
To your jaded cliffs headfirst
And all you empty praises
Second coming of a nameless Christ
Hide behind your royal curtain
Beneath the grey it's black and white

Beyond your elitist tongues over saturated graves
What was the price for perfection? Now bound to the sea
Oh yeah you're bound to the fucking sea again

Worthless worthless
Seven years of being stabbed in the back
Worthless fucking worthless

11. Seller's Market

I'm sick of this I'm tired of all the bullshit
I don't care who the fuck knows who
I want to read between the lines
But the scared look in your eyes
The only truth I will find

We all know where you come from
And to be honest we don't fucking care
Your life of privilege no more silver platters
Where the fuck will you be
When all your scams clear the air?

And I know there is something else to all of this
Every broken promise just another dollar well spent

Kissing ass sucking up your arrogance makes me ill
And now I'll defend to the death this dream you're trying to kill

And I know there is something else to all of this
Every broken promise just another dollar well spent

And if I listen to you
I would only doubt myself
Are you trying to pollute us with your ego?
I hope we meet in hell

We will meet again in hell
Straight to hell

I'm sick of this I'm tired of the bullshit
I don't care who the fuck knows who
I want to read between the lines
But the scared look in your eyes
The only truth I will find

We all know where you come from
And to be honest we don't fucking care
Your life of fiction you're so fucking clever
How many fucking excuses do you want us to hear?

And I know there is something else to all of this
Every broken promise just another dollar well spent

And if I listen to you
I would only doubt myself
Are you trying to pollute us with your ego?
I hope we meet in hell

Straight to hell

12. Sister Charlatan

I bear witness to an ugly reality
I won't blink for the pure satisfaction
As beauty fights with perfection
Tape my eyes open for the oncoming storm

Now I can sense your stale fear in the air
As humanity starved for your flesh
Your skin starts to rust beginning to crack
No one cares anymore
Your false pretense is startling to fade and burn
With your self-righteous
Oh how hard the pitiful will fall

Sister
Sister Charlatan
No one cares anymore
I no longer admire you
There is no one left to impress

I no longer admire you
The way you burned them all alive
The fire in your eyes
But always remember how fast the beautiful will fall
Walls come crashing down

It was all just a lie
You were so good at leaving your mark
And running away
Forge a smile with your second face

I no longer admire you
The way you burned them all alive
The fire in your eyes
But always remember how fast the beautiful will fall
Walls come crashing down

13. Self Defeating Anthem

Oh!

There is nothing left to say
It's just the same people
The same places
Judging every move I make

And I've spent those days
Bleeding my heart dry for everyone
Welcoming those who only destroy me

How is any of this
What the hell
I just worried myself sick with self doubt
Losing precious hours of sleep

There is nothing left to prove
People come and go
Turn their backs
Follow trends
And run their faces

I've given all to the road
Sold my innocence and securities
Hoping my broken heart will be set free

How is any of this
What the hell, I just worried myself sick with self doubt
Losing precious hours of sleep

So long
To this misery
So long
So long

There is nothing left to say
It's just the same people
The same places
Judging every move I make

Move I make
You're judging every move I make
And I would do this all again
