Try real hard to focus
Kept in line but it never comes
The buzzing wings of locust
Swallow me whole and they save my soul
You can’t fucking save me so I’ll save myself
Pray to fucking no one while I chase my tail
This is the new age of follow through
Append the details of absolute
The good word, the gospel, the trinity
You’re not my fucking savoir, you’re my enemy
My time is coming
I can attest
I pray to a god
That simply doesn’t exist

Watch You Die
01:49

Run your fucking mouth
At the end of the day
All you care about is clout
And people knowing your name
Watch you die, bitch.
Pull back the curtain and you reveal the truth
You’re just a waste of fucking life, and nobody even likes you
You got a long way to go before this stops
Another X on the hit list
You’ve come a long way to sit up on a cross
Here’s your divinity and purpose
Believe me, I, would rather watch you fucking die
That’s some sick entertainment
Take who you know, and all the fans that you have
There’s nothing left to show when there’s no mic to grab
Maybe I wouldn’t be so mad, If I had something left to show beyond a humble brag
Maybe you’re, not just full of yourself, you’re a disrespectful bitch looking out for no one else
Looking out for me and no one else

Ruiner

I ruin everything
That I fucking love
I watch it fall apart
Right in front of my face
I question everything
That I fucking know
And now there’s nothing left
For me to hold onto
Patience
It takes everything I’ve got
Cause it’s everything I’m not
Can’t be a better version of me
I hate myself for this
I should have been there
And now you’re gone
You’re what makes me whole
I let the time pass
We’re growing older
The seasons change
Swept up left for dead
Born and made to suffer
Product of a selfish lover
You see right through me

I Can Make This Go Away
02:17
|

Take apologies like a knife in the back
It’s hard to move on when you’re heart is attached
I can feel it piling up, as you’re slipping away
I know I’ve had enough, but I can’t seem to change
Every day is the same, it claims the best of me
I fall farther away from who I used to be
I spin circles, fall down, and get up again
The only problem is I don’t know where to begin
So many faces
Not where I need to be
I feel complacent
And strung out on apathy
So many places
I’m right where I need to be
To finally face this
And give what’s left of me
You take an open door and shut it
Sabotage to your hearts’ content
Go for the reaching hand and cut it
Life is pain through abandonment

X'd Out

Try to forgive myself
it’s what comes next for you
I tried to offer my help
It’s what I’ve got to do
There’s no easy, no easy way to say this, you’re gonna get your turn
It’s so easy, so easy just to stand here, while I wait for you to burn
It’s the pressure of a million different outcomes
It puts an X on your back
See the light no matter which way it comes from
And then it all fades to black

Manipulator
01:41

|
I can’t shake this feeling
Of being alone
I hear your screams inside of my head
I feel it in my bones
Everything you said I was
I turned into just because
I wanted to spite you
No bond is thicker than blood
I wasted 30 years believing you loved me
I’m done living life just so you can judge me
Manipulator
Climb climb climb my way to the top
Shut your fucking mouth cause I’ve had enough
You said you only do this to show me you care
But if family comes first then this isn’t fair
Lie lie lie It’s all that you do
Straight to my face, why the hell would I love you
Because you’re my mother and they say that I should
But time can’t erase all your empty words

Twist Of The Knife
02:11
|
|||
|
Face me
And wipe the dirt off your face
It’s time you meet your end
And I’m not showing you grace
Regret
While you sit and you cower
I’ll make you pay for what you did
When you abused your power
I’ll never understand your impetus
Or why you took away their innocence
I’ll take a sick mother fucker for his life
And watch him gasp at the end of my knife
You call this vengeance
I’ll call this what it is
It’s simply payback
For what you took from your kids
Faith-less
But you’re a man of god
I see through your fucking act
Yeah, I see the facade
Take this
All the resentment I have
I’m not sad or disappointed
I’m just fucking mad
This is the end of the line
Time to pay for your sins
And give them back their lives
When your head hits the pavement
You’re left for dead
You call this vengeance
I’ll call this what it is
It’s simply payback
For what you took from your kids
I’ll take a mother fucker for his life
And watch him gasp at the end of my knife
Call it karma
Call it payback
This is the end
With just a twist
