Blood (Empty Promises) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch your back because the next man is coming
And you don't know if the next man is dumbin'
Survival of the fittest what it is
I got your back, you got my back and that's the biz
Blood is rushing through my veins, I got the power
Channel the energy and with my strength I will devour
Sickening thoughts is running through my head
That's when I realize I'm glad I'm not dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Corruption and abuse
The salesman of our blood
For the public's craving
Existence in the dark
[Chorus]
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill
[Verse 2]
It was a dream and then it hit me, reality struck
And now my life is all shifty and it all moves fast
Close to a buck fifty; we all stand strong
In respect to the family in times of insanity
And through words of profanity
I describe our dysfunctional family
Blood brothers keep it real to the end
Deeper than the thoughts you think, not a trend
[Pre-Chorus]
Corruption and abuse
The salesman of our blood
For the public's craving
Existence in the dark
[Chorus]
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill
Again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
Corruption and abuse
The salesman of our blood
For the public is craving
Existence in the dark
[Chorus]
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill
[Coda]
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill, kill
[Outro Chorus]
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves
It's in our nature to kill ourselves
It's in our nature to kill each other
It's in our nature to kill
Not Listening Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
I'm not listening anymore, no
[Verse 1]
'Cause you got to be bigger, be faster, be stronger
If you're gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime, it better be the right time
The first time might be your last time
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose?
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove!
[Chorus]
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
The more I ignore
[Verse 2]
'Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, a life changer
I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
I walk my own path and blaze my own trail
'Cause I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line or be a middleman
So fuck you, I'll make my own plan
And I got respect and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose?
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove
[Chorus]
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
[Bridge]
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
[Chorus]
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
[Bridge]
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score
I told you before, won't listen no more
I told you before, let's settle the score!
[Outro]
Set it off right now
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, set it off
Blow it up, blow it up right now
Stop Looking Start Seeing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hit or miss, fuck or fight
It's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right
I'm going to lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you stand up for your rights
Line them up and knock 'em down
I'm not running scared tonight
[Chorus]
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
[Verse 2]
I see the walls closing in
And I feel I'm in danger
My enemy is not alone
In the mirror, there's a stranger
As I tried to break out
My panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone
I'm afraid the end is near
The truth doesn't always have to hurt
[Chorus]
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
[Bridge]
Stop looking
Start seeing
Now! Right now!
Stop looking
Start seeing
Now! Right now!
Why does the truth always have to hurt?
[Chorus]
I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (these walls)
I've climbed these walls before (these walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
[Outro]
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I'll never be the same
And I'll never be the same
Why does the truth always have to hurt?
Take Me Lyrics

Take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Chorus 1]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Verse 1]
I lit my pain on fire
And I watched it all burn down
Now I'm dancing in the ashes
And there's no one else around
Because I want be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul
[Chorus 2]

So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Chorus1]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out

And I'm drowning in a hell
My soul is in a coma
And none of my friends can tell
That I'm reaching out and getting nothing
This is just a story of a broken soul
[Chorus 2]
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
[Chorus 1]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Chorus1]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
Don't shut me out
[Chorus 3]
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
[Chorus 2]
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
[Chorus 1]
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
[Chorus 2]
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem to let this all pass me by
[Outro]
Take Me
Don't Break Me
Getting Away With Murder Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
[Post-Chorus]
Getting away, getting away, getting away
[Verse 2]
I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back because I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
[Post-Chorus]
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away with murder
[Verse 3]
Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster
[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
Be Free Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up and I feel like shit
I don't remember last night, I'm getting sick of this
I hit the bottle when I got off stage
And got piss drunk stupid and I went in a rage
I think I mighta got in a fight
Because my knuckles were bloody and I don't feel alright
I hit the bottom and I don't even care
You say I'm going to hell but I am already there
[Pre-Chorus]
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Chorus]
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
[Verse 2]
Now I'm full of guilt and shame
I can't point a finger 'cause there's no one to blame
So I say I'll never do it again
But when the sun goes down, you are my only friend
I'm thinking I am starting to see
I have become everything I never wanted to be
I'm really getting sick of myself
'Cause when I look into the mirror, I see somebody else
[Pre-Chorus]
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Chorus]
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
[Refrain]
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
So sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Outro]
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free from this ball and chain and
Be free from this life of pain and
Be free from this ball and chain
I wanna be free from you
I wanna be free from you
Done With You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you
I finally realized you're tearing me apart
[Chorus]
So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you
[Verse 2]
You made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I've always loved you cause you're oh so special
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain
[Chorus]
So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you
[Bridge]
Done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)[x2]
I am done with you (done with you, I'm done with you)
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
[Chorus]
So help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me, tell me that the end is near
I am done with you
[Verse 3]
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me
You couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you
Scars Lyrics
[Intro]
I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
[Verse 1]
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
I'm pissed 'cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause I've channeled all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is:
[Chorus]
I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
Tear my heart open just to feel
[Verse 2]
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you goin' down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
And I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
[Chorus]
I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
[Verse 3]
I’m drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just want to be alone
You should've never come around
Why don’t you just go home?
'Cause you’re drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn’t understand
(But you didn’t understand)
Go fix yourself!
[Bridge]
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry, but I gotta move on with my own life
[Chorus]
I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Sometimes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm dreaming about tomorrow
I'm thinking of yesterday,
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time is what I betray,
I am searching for the answers
[Chorus]
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning out of control
[Verse 2]
I never know what you want
I never know what you need
It was different from the start
When you cut me in two I never
Thought I would bleed,
But I am searching for the answers
[Chorus]
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning out of control
[Bridge]
I will go this alone
I don't need nobody's help
I've got to do this myself
Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone
[Chorus]
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning out of control
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because I don't know which way to go
And I look around; sometimes I get sad
Because my life is spinning out of control
Blanket of Fear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am awake
Under this blanket of fear
And I must say
None of the people I see belong here
Now everyone's asleep
I am awake and I am dreaming
I believe it's time for a rude awakening
[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
[Verse 2]
I believe
The only thing we have to fear is
Fear itself, and the man behind the curtain
I heard him say
"Dreamers have become an endangered species
And I am aware of the rude awakening
[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
[Bridge]
I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground
I hit the ground
Because I
I can't keep my mind
From going into dark places
Because I
I can't keep my mind
From going into dark places
[Chorus]
So hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares
Might seem like they're your reality
Hold on to your dreams
Because your nightmares might seem like they're your reality
[Outro]
I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground
I'm falling in my dream I finally hit the ground!
Tyranny of Normality Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The media is the seduction of human desire
(set their money, set their money, on fire)
And if you try to sell me the truth
Then I know you're a liar, a liar
[Refrain]
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
[Verse 2]
Our culture has become complacent, and has no desire (take back, take back our empire), and the ethical slaughter of
Truth needs to be retired, retired
[Refrain]
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
[Bridge]
It's the death of outrage!!
I want to turn a new page!!
I mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page!!
Since the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page!!
I mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death of outrage
The obituary's on the front page
[Refrain]
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
It's the tyranny of normality
Do or Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying
My strength is overcome by pain
My love for you remains the same
The loneliness is setting in
I have no one to free my sins
[Chorus]
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
[Verse 2]
Now it's my turn to help you out
Because you were there when I was down
It's hard for me to see you this way
Losing all your sanity
You helped me to keep my dreams alive
Without you how will I survive?
It's time for me to be a man
Now I finally understand
[Chorus]
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's yours and mine
[Bridge]
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
[Reprise]
Today I saw my hero fall apart
The one who taught me to be strong
On the outside I look fine
But on the inside I am dying
[Chorus]
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's yours and mine
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's do or die
It's never too late to live your life (live your life)
The time is now, it's yours and mine
[Outro]
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anymore
I can't hide anymore
Yeah
Harder Than a Coffin Nail Lyrics
[Hook]
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
They carry me off in
[Verse 1]
I’ve walked amongst the living dead
And I’m sick of the voices that are in my head
I’ve taken the ride and I’ve danced with death
I had nine lives and I’ve got one left
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I’ve got what you want
You've got what I need
Let’s get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaahh!
[Chorus]
I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
[Verse 2]
I never thought I’d need someone’s help
(I don’t need your help)
Because I’ll handle it all and do it by myself
(I’ll do this by myself)
I'm never alone until I hit rock bottom
(I’m not afraid to fall)
I’m so fucking stubborn and so fucking rotten
(Hit the bottom)
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I’ve got what you want
You've got what I need
Let’s get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaahh!
[Chorus]
I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
[Hook]
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I’ve got what you want
You've got what I need
Let’s get together and keep me forever
Yeah waaahh!
[Chorus]
'Cause I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
I’m harder than a coffin nail
I’ve been to heaven, I’ve been to hell
[Hook]
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
God bless the coffin they carry me off in
Caught Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got passion and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
Because I want to spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up
I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
I'm excited and I'm exploding
I'm ignited and I'm ready to go off
Rather be caught dead than weak!
[Chorus]
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
[Verse 2]
I want to spill, spill my guts
But I don't want to pick them up
I've got too much pride and desire
To let this go, I'll walk through fire
I've got passion, and a reason
And I won't neglect my emotions
Rather be caught dead than weak!
[Chorus]
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
[Bridge]
I'd rather be caught dead than be weak
Rather be caught dead than weak
[Chorus]
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing strong
Because I'd rather be caught dead, than be weak
And in my last days I'll still be standing
