Old scars
Carved into my arms
I never thought I would climb out
Turn around and I’m gone
Familiar themes of disappointment
You’ve been here before
Still you make the same mistakes
Cause you’re upset about last time
Blame
Is so complex
A domino effect
I didn’t think I could get out
Wouldn’t be a next time
You are the noose on my neck
You are the sun in my eyes
You are the thorn in my side
Andif it’s a battle of wits
I surrender
Tried calling it quits
Still dejected and sick
I can’t leave you like this
I can’t leave you at all
If it’s a battle of wits
I surrender
Tried calling it quits
Still dejected and sick
You are the noose on my neck
You are the sun in my eyes
You are the thorn in my side
The shame
Is so complex
A domino effect
I didn’t think I could get out
There wouldn’t be a next time
I used to hurt myself for fun
Til I stopped running from everyone

Debaser
Dodger of bullets
Committer of sins
Permanent eraser
All that I’ve worked for
Seems so insignificant
Defective
Repair myself
And fall apart
You needed help
And I wasn’t around
Close my eyes
Wake up I feel
Sorry for myself
Sorry for the past
Sorry every time I let you down
When you needed someone
Sorry for myself
Sorry for the past
Sorry for the ones I left behind
While the clock was ticking
When the time was slipping
While both ends were burning
I looked out for myself
Did whats right for me
Cause I needed to breathe
And you were choking me
You were bringing me down with you
I looked out for myself
Wore my wounds on my sleeve
Cause I needed to leave
And you were keeping me
You were bringing me down with you
Sorry for myself
Sorry for myself
Sorry for the past
Sorry every time I let you down
While the clock was ticking
Sorry for myself
Sorry for my past
Sorry for the ones I left behind
While both ends were burning

Destroyer

Hey kid what do you know
Your flesh is growing old
Separated flesh from bone
I dug a shallow hole
Hey man look at my life
You would've never known
What will you do when you can’t stay home
And you’ve got nowhere to go?
I can’t decide
It hurts to try
I’ve been searching for something
But haven’t made up my mind
I can’t make up my mind
I’ve been living a lie
Destroyer
Flooded gates
Hell awaits
Sunken place
They bought all the dreams
And all the pain
And all that filled them
Hardened skull
Collapsing vein
Swollen foot
Ball and chain
Pushed until it’s all too late
Along the razors edge
Is this fate?
I can’t decide
It hurts to try
I’ve been searching for something
But haven’t made up my mind
Can’t make up my mind
I’ve been living a lie
I fear nothing at all
Except all that I see
It’s smut, beauty and war
It’s got a hold on me

Back Route

I can’t save you motherfuckers
I just digress
I’m an island
The world’s so violent
Tides erode
Children dying
It’s all for science
When everything you have
Can’t hide away from what you are
Devil with a forked tongue
Fighting over power
Slithering closer to the end
Devil with a forked tongue
Killing for a fortune
Slithering further from grace
I’ve enabled
Bloodsuckers
Working endless
Can’t pretend this
Life I mapped out
Took the back route
World keeps praying
But we keep straying
When everything you own
Can’t hide away from what you are
Devil with a forked tongue
Fighting over power
Slithering closer to the end
Devil with a forked tongue
Killing for a fortune
Slithering further from grace
You can’t hide away from what you really are
Backstabber
Back stabbed
All you have can’t hide what you are

Walking home through a grave yard
Wrote my name with a stick in the dirt
Told myself I’d stop smoking cigarettes
But one more won’t hurt
Toss and turn all night long
Fell asleep driving to work
Try to look on the bright side
But it's only getting worse
Worse
It’s worse
I’m worse
I’m only getting worse
I forgot what you told me
But I remember the look on your face
Like you don’t even know me
Started packing a suit case
Walking home from the bus stop
Saw a man with blood stains on his shirt
Asked if he had a smoke cause we both know
It’s only getting worse
Worse
It’s worse
I'm worse
I’m only getting worse
It's only getting worse
Walking home through a grave yard
Wrote my name with a stick in the dirt
Told myself I’d stop smoking
But one more wont hurt
Worse
