Break the Fall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got my back to the wall and now I'm slippin'
Been tryna deal with the thoughts and my condition
And still I try to hang on to what I'm missing
But something's settin' me off, somebody listen
I been runnin' from fate without a lifeline
But now I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time
Tryna find an escape, lookin' to get by
From never gettin' a break, cuttin' the brake line
[Chorus]
I've been hangin' by a thread
With my feet over the edge
Got my back against the wall
Will this nightmare ever end?
Will I break before I bend?
If I slip and lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
If I lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
[Verse 2]
I got my head in the game I'm on a mission
But every day is the same, a demolition
We are the marginalized but not the victims
Fighting the fight of our lives to make you listen
You got me losin' my breath it's been a long run
I'm tryin' hard to forget, but I know the outcome
I got a thousand regrets, and now I'm on one
I might be losing my head before the song's done
[Chorus]
I've been hangin' by a thread
With my feet over the edge
Got my back against the wall
Will this nightmare ever end?
Will I break before I bend?
If I slip and lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
[Bridge]
Gotta get my head together, my head together
I been tryna keep my head together
Beat down
Gotta get my head together, my head together
I been tryna keep my head together
A beat down
Gotta get my head together, my head together
I been tryna keep my head together
A beat down
Gotta get my head together, my head together
I been tryna keep my head together
A beat down
[Chorus]
I've been hangin' by a thread
With my feet over the edge
Got my back against the wall
Will this nightmare ever end?
Will I break before I bend?
If I slip and lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
Break the fall
If I lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
Crooked Teeth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Locked up in my hurricane head
Bloody knuckles paint the whole place red
Straitjacket, straight tie me to the bed
All alone in a room full of misfits
Cold blooded, cold hearted on a hit list
Paranoid, struggling, I gotta kick this
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's looking at me, staring at me
Everybody's looking at me
[Chorus]
Terrified, paralyzed
Something's got a hold on me
Let me go, I can't speak
I'm choking on my crooked teeth
Wake me up if I sleep
Cause I'm haunted by my dreams
Crying out, but I can't speak
Cause I'm choking on my, choking on my
Crooked teeth
My crooked teeth
[Verse 2]
Caved in, hyperventilating
Cutting way too close to my skin
I feel the devil trying to creep back in
I feel the devil trying to creep back in
I'm possessed by the every day stress
Flash back and I'm trying to forget
Bloody hell, bloody knife, bloody mess
[Chorus]
Terrified, paralyzed
Something's got a hold on me
Let me go, I can't speak
I'm choking on my crooked teeth
Wake me up if I sleep
Cause I'm haunted by my dreams
Crying out, but I can't speak
Cause I'm choking on my, choking on my
Crooked teeth
[Bridge]
Everybody's looking at me, staring at me
Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's looking at me, staring at me
Everybody's looking at me
[Chorus]
Terrified, paralyzed
Something's got a hold on me
Let me go, I can't speak
I'm choking on my crooked teeth
Wake me up if I sleep
Cause I'm haunted by my dreams
Crying out, but I can't speak
Cause I'm choking on my, choking on my
Crooked teeth
My crooked teeth
My Medication Lyrics
[Chorus]
I push you away until you beg me to stay
Just for the thrill of the chase, you got me
Fucked in the head from all the things that we did
But I will never forget I need you, my medication
[Verse 1]
Have you ever had enough of it?
Straight over it, sick of it, can't get ahold of it?
Like a drug I need another fix
I'm a moth to a flame and I'll burn for the hell of it
Battle scar 'cause I lost the fight
Every time I take a breath it's like I'm losin' my life
Fuck it, why am I so dysfunctional? So irrational?
I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
So I push you away until you beg me to stay
Just for the thrill of the chase, you got me intoxicated
Fucked in the head from all the things that we did
But I will never forget I need you, my medication
[Verse 2]
Are you living with the enemy?
Are you affected by the devils that are tryna be a friend to me?
I'm in a place that I don't wanna be
But if I find a way to turn it all around would you follow me?
I'm alive but I lost the fight
It's like the better half of me is on the edge of the knife
Cut it, why am I so emotional? Uncontrollable?
I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
So I push you away until you beg me to stay
Just for the thrill of the chase, you got me intoxicated
Fucked in the head from all the things that we did
But I will never forget I need you, my medication
[Music Break]
[Chorus]
I push you away until you beg me to stay
Just for the thrill of the chase, you got me
Fucked in the head from all the things that we did
But I will never forget I need you, my medication
My medication
Born for Greatness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a man at war
And I am fighting for
All of the broken people
All of the people thrown overboard
They always tried to shame us
But they don't speak our language
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, somebody, sound the alarm
Oh, a fire was set in the dark
Oh, it's time that you know
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter if the world has gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling, and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs, and we just hold on, yeah
So if you're running, stop running
One life, one chance, start living
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
[Chorus 2]
We were born for greatness
We're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
We're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Verse 2]
They say that I'm reckless
Because I'm relentless
They spit on my face and curse on my name
They're taking my life in vengeance
Yeah, you can try and blame us
And try to take what’s sacred
But we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, somebody, sound the alarm
Oh, a fire was set in the dark
Oh, it's time that you know
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter if the world has gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
The sky is falling, and the world has gone mad
And we sing our songs, and we just hold on, yeah
So if you're running, stop running
One life, one chance, start living
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
[Chorus 2]
We were born for greatness
We're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Chorus 2]
We’re not nameless, we’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we’re not nameless, we’re not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Bridge]
Somebody, sound the alarm
It's time that you know
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter if the world has gone mad
If we just hold on, if we just hold on, yeah
Sing it louder just to let the world know
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
[Outro]
We were born for greatness
No, we're not nameless, we're not faceless
We were born for greatness
American Dreams Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
We're tearing down the white picket fences
A soldier bleeds, and a soldier dies
Have you ever thought that war was a sickness?
I’m a son of it, fucked up from it
Casualty of my family cause of it
We dare to dream, or live to die
Reunited by the truth at the right time
Something’s wrong here
Or so it seems
'Cause I’m not sleeping in
[Chorus]
American Dreams, American lies
We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
So give me the truth
Don't tell me your lies
'Cause it's harder to breathe
When you're buried alive
By American Dreams
[Verse 2]
With every bullet hole, there's a blood stain
Another family that's struggling to keep sane
'Cause their neighborhood ain't a safe place
Got us all wearing black every Sunday
And I'm growing numb to the violence
Sing along to the sounds of the sirens
We're trying to keep ourselves alive
But it's hard to get by when it feels like
Something’s wrong here
Or so it seems
'Cause I'm not sleeping in
[Chorus]
American Dreams, American lies
We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
So give me the truth
Don't tell me your lies
'Cause it’s harder to breathe
When you're buried alive
By American Dreams
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not sleeping in
American Dreams, American lies
We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
So give me the truth
Don't tell me your lies
'Cause it's harder to breathe
When you’re buried alive
By American Dreams
By American Dreams
Periscope Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jacoby Shaddix]
I want to feel your wreckage
It's a firestorm
I'm falling like a loaded weapon
In your arms
Paranoid, it might be reckless
No matter what I say
It's only going to steal your breath
And slip away
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix]
I don't want to dive in first
You don't want to hear these words
It's only gonna make it worse
You don't want to live that curse
You're telling me to keep my hope
'Cause you've got a heart of gold
But maybe you should let me go
I'll love you through a periscope
[Verse 2: Skylar Grey]
You wear your heart so fearless
It's like it doesn't breathe
You push away my demons when they torture me
Don't think that I can fight this pressure
Pulling me underneath
It's like I've got the whole world tied around my feet
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix & Skylar Grey]
I don't want to dive in first
You don't want to hear these words
It's only going to make it worse
You don't want to live that curse
You're telling me to keep my hope
Because you've got a heart of gold
But maybe you should let me go
I'll love you through a periscope
[Bridge: Jacoby Shaddix]
Oh, oh, through a periscope
Oh, oh, I-I'll love you through a periscope
Oh, oh, through a periscope
Oh, oh, I-I'll love you through a periscope
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix & Skylar Grey]
I don't want to dive in first
You don't want to hear these words
It's only gonna make it worse
You don't want to live that curse
You're telling me to keep my hope
Cause you've got a heart of gold
But maybe you should let me go
I'll love you through a periscope
[Outro: Jacoby Shaddix]
Oh, oh, through a periscope
Oh, oh, I-I'll love you through a periscope
Help Lyrics
[Intro]
I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself
[Verse 1]
Did someone turn the lights out?
Or is it just another dark cloud in my head?
'Cause I'm cut deep
My heart won't beat
Deep down low, it's killing me
If I wanna scratch out yesterday
I've got so much I need to say
(I've got so much I need to say)
[Chorus]
I think I need help
'Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in
I can't pretend that I ain't been through hell
I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself
[Verse 2]
They're preying on my weakness
Believe it
I'm thinking to myself, "No, not again"
And I won't keep listening when temptation's creeping in
If I wanna make it another day
I've got so much I need to say
(I've got so much I need to say)
[Chorus]
I think I need help
'Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in
I can't pretend that I ain't been through hell
I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself
[Bridge]
I think I need help
'Cause I put myself through hell
[Chorus]
I think I need help
'Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in
I can't pretend that I ain't been through hell
I think I need help
[Outro]
I think I need help
I think I need help
Sunrise Trailer Park Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jacoby Shaddix]
I was young and I was reckless, man
Moved out at seventeen and made my momma mad
I thought I had it all figured out
A pocket full of pills and a forty in my mouth
Peeled out in my big-block Chevy
Flipped it six times and I knew that I was ready
To straighten up because my best friend died
I didn't wanna carry on living that life
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix]
And now I'm running from the scene
'Cause I was caught up in the crime
It's a loaded memory
Yeah, it kills me every time
And I'm trying not to scream, but it's eating me alive
I'm still haunted by the best years of
The best years of my life
[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
Yeah, lemme take y'all back, oh
I was young and I was helpless, man
Self-medicating my own depression, man
I drank a bottle after breakfast
Took a look in the mirror, ripped the rosary off my necklace, damn
I lost my job, so I lost faith
I just saw a baby bump in my girl's waist (What?)
I need a drink to feel right
Party with my homies to escape from real life
Yeah, we had it all figured out
Pocket full of pills and a forty in my mouth, but
I never should've let my best friend drive
'Cause he's the reason my child will never see me alive, damn
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix]
Now I'm running from the scene
'Cause I was caught up in the crime
It's a loaded memory
Yeah, it kills me every time
And I'm trying not to scream, but it's eating me alive
I'm still haunted by the best years of
The best years of my life
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3: Jacoby Shaddix]
All the sudden nothing matters anymore
He lost it all, his life was scattered on the floor
And now his family's tryna pick up all the pieces
I am locked up in a box, I am a monster
I'm the reason that he's gone
Wish I could take it all back
Press rewind and take a picture of the past
Pause it, feel my heart turn black (Black)
My lungs are smoldering, I'm breathing in the ash
[Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix]
Now I'm running from the scene
'Cause I was caught up in the crime
It's a loaded memory
Yeah, it kills me every time
And I'm trying not to scream, but it's eating me alive
I'm still haunted by the best years of
The best years of my life
[Post-Chorus: Jacoby Shaddix]
I'm still haunted by the best years of
The best years of my life
I'm still haunted by the best years of
[Guitar Outro: Jerry Horton]
Traumatic Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh, it's so traumatic
I've got these secrets I keep
Is it obvious?
They've got me down on my knees
Yeah, just let me go
I keep reliving the scene
Oh, it's so traumatic
Traumatic
[Verse 1]
There's a darkness inside of this cracked head of mine
Locked inside this asylum I'm done
All my secrets are safe so if you summon fate
Can you read through the lines on my tongue?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're playing broken records
It's like they're on repeat
I know those words you're singing
Before you even speak
I can see right where you are
You don't need to hide in the dark
[Chorus]
Oh, it's so traumatic
I've got these secrets I keep
Is it obvious?
They've got me down on my knees
Yeah, just let me go
I keep reliving the scene
Oh, it's so traumatic
Traumatic
[Verse 2]
Put me back in my cage if I try to escape
I'm a countdown away from the truth
After all of these talks
Are you ready to stop?
With this twisted traumatic abuse?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're playing broken records
It's like they're on repeat
I know those words you're singing
Before you even speak
I can see right where you are
You don't need to hide in the dark
I can see right where you are
You don't need to hide in the dark
Oh, it's so traumatic
Oh, it's so traumatic
Oh, it's so traumatic
Traumatic
[Chorus]
Oh, it's so traumatic
I've got these secrets I keep
Is it obvious?
They've got me down on my knees
Yeah, just let me go
I keep reliving the scene
Oh, it's so traumatic
Oh, it's so traumatic
None of the Above Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody's fucked up off the beat
The words are in our mouths but we don't speak
Boarded up the windows in the house
Another generation bleeding out
Don't want no part of this
None of the above
I don't want no part of this
None of the above
I don't want no-
[Chorus]
Take me to church 'cause I've been blessed with a curse
I arrived in a limo and I left in a hearse
They're speaking in tongues
Feels like we're coming undone
Don't want no part of this
None of the above
[Verse 2]
Blocking out the static in our heads
We are still alive and playing dead
We don't need a reason for doubts
Another generation screaming out
I don't want no part of this
None of the above
None of the above
[Chorus]
Take me to church 'cause I've been blessed with a curse
I arrived in a limo and I left in a hearse
They're speaking in tongues
Feels like we're coming undone
Don't want no part of this
None of the above
[Bridge]
I don't want no part of this
None of the above
[Chorus]
Take me to church 'cause I've been blessed with a curse
I arrived in a limo and I left in a hearse
They're speaking in tongues
Feels like we're coming undone
Don't want no part of this
None of the above
None of the above
