PLAY THE BIG GAME
Were struggling every day for some kind of change
the game always stays the same.
ITS ALL FOR SELF GAIN. Thats why they inflict the pain,
they just want to obtain the highest level on the chain.
AND NO ONE EVER WINS. Just keep circling the drain,
my patience runnin thin. And all my efforts are in vain.
SO PLAY THE BIG GAME.
Im struggling every day. I see a different face but the players are always the same.
When they have your trust their on the hunt
Cant see the snakes til youre bit by one.
PLAY THE BIG GAME
they say that they would die for you then they forget your name
but through my eyes i see the truth
ITS SUCH A FUCKING SHAME to feel alone in crowded rooms but i wont let it stain the person that ive grown into.
When they have your trust their on the hunt,
Another Life from the one that they front

Why I Hate
02:41
|
|
||
I’m living in a world where all the people all around me play another part of someone they’ll never be. You’ll never understand the matters at hand. Can’t share my fire with the mentally weak. It burns behind my eyes. No love can ever seem to shine cause all I ever feel is let down and outrage. Surrounded by a scam on pillars of sand. Acceptance of the worst is all I ever see.
And that’s why-Why I hate
Everything I love -They infiltrate
And that’s why- why I hate
All the shit I see goin on…I just can’t relate
You ask me why I hate when it’s clearly plain to see- Every fucking thing I love is cloaked in fantasy.

The Knife
02:19
|
|
||
Wise men say fools rush in
Play with old flames just to get burnt again
A cycle we hate but it’s all we know
Trapped under our pain with no room to grow
Nowhere. To turn. Just watch. My world burn.
Nothing. To do. They turn. The knife on you.
Unlocked the door and saw what I hide
Started a fire and burnt me down in my own mind
Temptation extends its hand again
The knife in my spine- my only friend
Look me in the eyes when you stick the knife through….
Sooner or later their gonna stick it through you !!

Devil In Me
02:03
|
|

Stranger beneath
The faces that you’ve seen
I’ve shown you most but kept one to me
Hidden away. Buried in shame. My mistakes would crush you. So I’ll bear the weight.
Pull back the curtain to see THE DEVIL IN ME
traitor to my own beliefs
Is it just a fantasy to be free?
For years and years I’ve tried to hide
From my desires that lurk deep inside
I’ll take out the face and push you away
I’ll torch my connections for selfish embrace
I know I’ll let you down again but I just wanna make amends.
The mirror laughs at what they can’t see
Distorted reflections expose the devil in me
A stranger hidden beneath -BENEATH.
Ashamed of the devil in me -IN ME.

Set To Explode
01:34
|
|

Set to explode. Whos to blame…
When the whole worlds going insane?
Corrupt powers and global disease
While our humanity is crumbling
They just keep on pulling the thread
While armageddon hangs over our heads
How many more have to die in the streets?
Will we ever truly know
Peace?
They lit the fuse
It’s them or you
They make the rules
There’s nothing we can do
Set to explode. The fuse is short.
Feels like I can’t breathe anymore
seems fate is always pushing me
Into another wave of misery.
Locked down. The world on my back.
Overload. Another attack.
At war with ourselves again
No sight of the promised land.
What a shame
We’re forced to act this way
Like tortured animals
Trapped by rage
They lit the fuse
It’s them or you
They make the rules there’s nothing we can do
A world renewed just out of view

Prison of Time
02:16
|
|
||
I Plant my feet in the past so I’m always attatched to the the moments and feelings that never last. Every bond I’ve made -an expiration date. Meaningful words and a warm embrace To empty handshakes
Years pass by
But still I’m confined
Prison of time
It’s all in my mind
Look to nostalgia too much I lean on it like a broken crutch.
I let it pierce Me like a shot from a loaded gun
The things that brought release just echoes of a memory
I envy all the things that I may never be

Another Life
03:02
|
|
||
Feels like I’ve been lost in a dream
Admit my grip is weak on every single thing that’s close to me.
These Bitter thoughts spread like a disease
Warm horizons poisoned by a cold reality
All my life spent searching for the answers I’d never find and I’m just
Draining all my passion trying to travel back to different times
It’s always the future thats weighing heavy on my mind
I could escape the pain if I can just obtain another life
Visions I’ve seen before
I don’t have the strength to open that door
The shadows of desire overcast
Another life from the one I used to have
Identity rusts and then corrodes
Been dragging all my past lives down a desolate stretch of lonesome roads
Behind these eyes I decompose
Just Going through the motions til I’m ready to explode
The envy that I carry makes me sick of myself
I’m begging for some peace of mind or anything that could try to help
A constant obsession to put my life on a shelf
The truth is harsh but doesn’t seem to scar anyone else
(CHORUS)
Soon I’ll find the truth and it’ll guide me down a path
Hopefully one well lit where I can probably grin and laugh
If my legs begin to give way and I find myself stuck
By then I’m in a better place to know not to give a fuck
Assume the power
To fight back
No complacency, don’t cut em any slack
Kick ‘em back to hell
And pray tell
How the fuck the shadows still try and ravage my soul

Struggle Inside
02:42
|
|
||
A struggle inside. But I have to try
I can’t sit back and watch myself die
Beaten down over and over again. This world wont break me. I know I’ll win.
I’m waking up in terror. And drenched in a sweat
Hyper Focused on every single thing that I try to forget
A feeling that’s all too familiar. I’m having trouble just to breathe.
Clutching at the walls that are closing in
I Gotta break em down piece by piece
No more struggle inside. We’re all on borrowed time. Weakness in me dies. And early end denied. Unknown. All alone. I’ll fight it on my own. Won’t be defined By the struggle inside
Every thought in every moment that I spend can’t be dwelling in grief
I don’t wanna be a victim to the trials of life
I gotta break free
CHORUS
The walls are caving in but I gotta fight back.
Life’s got me in the grips but I refuse to be trapped

Over Exposure
02:08
|
|

Perfectly content with nothing to do.
That’s exactly how they control you
Scrolling through time in the blink of an eye
No passion or drive to really be alive
All your life you been lookin right through the light
Waste your time and now your blind
They just strive for one hive mind
All your life just drowning in light
I could never feel sorry for you
Another weak minded sucker in a world of fools
Theres method to the madness people can’t you see.
The melodies aint just for you and me
they keep force feedin your dreams
YOURE DROWNING IN LIGHT
No stories to be told about a life youve never owned
You’re Over exposed. Now They’re in control.
And that’s all you’ve ever known.
YOURE ALL ALONE
THATS ALL YOUVE EVER KNOWN

Another Fool
02:36

|

I wont be a fuckin sucker. I wont play the fool no more.
You keep tryna spin the shit. Ive seen people like you before.
Manipulation is how you thrive. Im sick of hearing lies from such a shallow mind. But now ill walk away. Cause i know i shouldnt waste any more energy
Couldve sworn you were different
You had me fooled for a minute
Just another lesson learned
Just another bridge that was burned
Swore to me your heart was mine. But all promises fade with time
Now im just tryna find a way to not feel this pain
Ive made mistakes thats true. But ive always proved myself to you
You left me shattered you left me sick
But ive wised up to your tricks
AND IM NOT YOUR FOOL. NO
I WONT PLAY THE FOOL
I WONT PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU
youre just a stranger to me now.

The Lines Are Drawn
03:18
|
|
||
I’ll Burn the bridge so you cant get back across
Fools like you sad but true wouldn’t be a loss
The streets we walk arent paved for frauds
Plagiarized how we live our lives now you gotta pay the cost
The lines are drawn
I won’t play nice anymore
You better get your fucking facts straight
You’re still in my city
Don’t give respect so you won’t get it back
Can’t wear a crown that you never even had
The rules you make. They don’t apply to me.
You made it here but soon you’ll be another memory.
Searching for new life in the bright lights and the crowds
But all you’ll find is failure when those lights go out.
The state of mind. Never yours, it’s always mine. No respect for your Kind.
