Cold Soul 02:11
You speak so vaguely/ Inside I laugh. Stripped down to nothing/ I still don’t believe. The walls you were prisoned/Your lies shoved down my throat. You left your family abandoned/ An image now a ghost With a straight face and mistakes I’ve made/I’ll sink There ain't nothing in this world I need/Give it away I try dreaming/I can’t sleep Shallow demented/I breathe A cold world, can’t be colder than the streets/Steadily my veins pump strength Brain dead/Mind fuck/Since you were born you listened to the lies you’ve learned The truth it hurts you don’t wanna hear it/A knife in your back dug deeper than your spirit Waste away In the grave you made You face the shame every single day Waste away
2.
You do what I never could/ Can’t see the struggles Your running you can’t relate/ Hiding from mistakes I’m not sorry/ I had to leave you behind It never worked out/ You couldn’t stand the tests of time You see what I can’t/Walk blind, this worlds a trap You think you’ve got it in your hands/ Running from the devil I’m not sorry/We never looked the same way I rather stay true/ Than regret. So next time you see me/ See right through id do anything to rid my mind of you This is where you began to break/ You had your family’s lives at stake But you chose to fall in the depths/ Sinking deep in your selfishness You chose to fall/ You let your true colors show

Trip Hard 01:55
Every day the same thing/ Searching for something in a sea of nothing I need anything/ To keep my mind straight I’ve searched my soul to find/ what’s wrong with me I’ve been here before/ Repeating history Free your mind and speak your soul/ everything you want/ earn it on your own Depend on no one but you’re self Every day the same thing/I bring my mind to reality To get a better grip before I slip Hard times just getting worse/ Digging six feet in the dirt Hard times Because you picked up/what I don’t need And I stepped back/ While you fell flat from your feet to your knees.

Sewer Chief 03:03
Hoping for something Seems like this world is good for nothing Look at this world what do I see/ Toxic waste disgusting me Nothing to eat or drink/ That’s not infected by your disease We’ve came so far from where I think we should be Face to face So save your ass/ I’m saving mine You’re searching for that key in life you will never find You can’t think straight/ Your god was wrong You’re living in this world so fucking alone Only time will tell if my hardships will send me to hell But I’m still here/ Striving for a life Beating up the demons that control my mind
