Angel V- 04:21
Quick to point your finger At anyone you don’t like When opportunity strikes In the end you’ll be ashamed When all your lies and mistakes Attach to your name Angel, what’s your problem You always know what’s right Angel, it’s what you like Quick to point your finger At anyone you know who’s right Hide the truth in plain sight And in the end you’ll betray Anyone who’s in your way Lies can’t be sustained Quick to point your finger At anyone who falls behind Elevate your selfish pride In the end you’ll be afraid And find someone else to name And bury your mistakes The truth is hidden somewhere You won't ever utter

Thief V- 05:09
I can't be alone or I will bleed And you'd ignore me I can't be alone for I must feed And you'll adore me I can't be alone for I have needs Which you have sworn me A thief for me My life, my pleasure A thief for free My love, I'll measure A thief for greed My only treasure

Embers V- 03:14
Fear, got a grip hold Fear, pulling me below Can't see what's coming down the line Humanity's slow demise Prepare to die all alone It eats away at your soul Until you suffocate Never feel the weight Just over medicate Years, an eternity of piss Here's your apocalypse Fear, tearing at my soul Fear, taking all control Can't see what's happening you're blind Can't see what destroys our minds Don't you want to die alone There's no need for false hope Nothing is the same Everything has changed It's making me insane Years, an eternity of piss Here's your apocalypse Can't you open your eyes You can't see cause your blind Takes a rodent to know How far the virus will go

Gave you my heart Took your pound of flesh I leave a trail so you'll follow I marked it with an X and tears from my pillow But you forgot to meet me there I cried and left a lock of hair Loved to death Gave you my heart Took your pound of flesh Butterfly kisses they taste so sweet Look at you baby good enough to eat And when you take your dying breath Like it or not you've been loved to death When did you finally see That you would never be free

Werewolf V- 05:21
what a price to pay for a gentlemanly temper guilded in crimson sin and mournful christian whispers a beastly form within released as night begins copper turns to gold we sell our gold for silver an alchemy so old that only time remembers a thorn in your side where darkness can hide on misty moors you died reborn a lamb to slaughter with the moon as your guide the devil's new sire even a man who's pure at heart becomes a wolf so dire

Gallows V- 05:46
Don't go in the gallows That's where no one goes Now you've been told Don't go alone There is a place darker and sweeter Than anything you've ever known

Eats Away V- 04:54
Trapped in my mind it never leaves Beneath my skin it stings Nothing in here I wanna feel So I self isolate Cornered by guilt I can't escape Regrets force me to age Leave me here to rot for all these years And lie in my own hate Serving time, feel the hate Serving time, night and day It eats away My faith it strays My soul it drains Darkness stays Just to keep me sane Protected only by the fear Of my own bitter rage Disillusioned I disappear In a cold, fragmented haze Gilded by tears that never clear Head down stay in my lane Contempt and loathing persevere The more and more I cave Drilled in my skull it never leaves Beneath my flesh it lay Tainted and stained Annihilates joy transmuted to pain Lonely existence never ending So dull and mundane They say old wounds will heal But congealed with blood soaked hate

Unspoken V- 05:35
Hey, I know you're afraid Alone at your age And still full of rage cold, your head is a stone Your heart's filled with hate Said they'd make it all great again Hush, as the world that you crushed Turns to ashes and dust Burned and slashed But oh, how low can you go You bitch and you moan At anything you don't know Your heart is a stone Kindness is an act it's not a slogan I avow What we have is strength it is unbroken I avow Spoiled, as the seas start to boil You keep shoving your oil Slick down our throats Dare, as if you've ever cared About anything else but yourselves Doomed, the horizon it looms This world is your tomb Rotted womb But oh, how low can you go You bitch and you moan At anything you don't know Your heart is a stone Kindness is an act it's not a slogan I avow What we have is strength it is unbroken I avow

Validate me I'm the hottest on your screen Like and share my post and we'll have a spit roast Get so mad you have to pay for Then have the nerve to call me whore Look at these clothes Yeah they're new for sure But you would never know who watches the most Filthy coward, screens are hiding Jack off tosser I'm not vibing I'm so bored, I'm acting Can you bleed me one more river Can you come just one more time I'm so E I'm on every stream Look at these teets and bow to your queen This is my choice, you're so damn lame Watch for hours but still slut shame Losers beware or you'll get a cold stare Cause no one really cares I'll never pay my share In one ear and out the other Not my fault you got no lover Give private shows for twenty venmo Expose every hole, watch til you blow She's a poser, you're a loser All just beggars, can't be choosers I'm so bored, I'm acting Can you bleed me one more river Can you come just one more time Can you come just once on your dime

I've made peace with the ghosts in this house Pierced the veil of their innocence Written volumes of close calls and scares Wandered hallways and lurked on the stairs I've thought of ways to leave these rooms Escape the dust and the gloom In a mirror now I can see The only ghost is me In your heart In your heart It's violence Violence Violence

Everything you do and say Leftovers from yesterday Replicating the mainstays Still don't get ya paid Can't you hear what I'm saying I'm breaking your malaise I'm bringing forth new days It spells out your decay You'll offer me false praise Crushing with Cacophony Drowning mediocrity We are here now Rotten pool of luxury Pissing in your stagnant stream A fountain of tears Forty two years Painting all your flowers grey Cowardice keeps you this way Mimicking the way they played Might just get ya laid Something new is heresy Silencing your mockery Destroy insincerity Who cares anyway We all see You're an imitation A copy We can see All your limitations You're obsolete
