The Big Game 01:06
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. 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

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

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

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.
11.
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.
