Awaken Alive 03:39
A new day, a new dawn. Spring is here again. Everything begins. The cycle starts and connects. A new day... a new dawn. The first day of the rest of your life begins now. WAKE UP

I bust through the door Like breaching with swat My rifle is loaded My barrells are cocked Gonna blow you away Gonna shut you down Im not taking prisoners Every person's collateral Dont give a shit that you're married You dont give a shit about my life Gonna blow you away Gonna shut you down Execution's My compensation Execution's My reimbursement Execution's My fucking severence Execution's My fucking pleasure Ill give you severence When I sever your head From your shit swallowing neck You can kiss my ass in death No police can stop me Itll take a fucking army Dispatch is time you haven't got Thanks for nothing, thanks a lot Gonna blow you away Gonna shut you down

Swaying in the cold of the high evening sky Blowing through an open window Framing memories of better times Blackened unforgiving heart husk burned out to a crisp Viewing in the distance The majestic will o wisp Beckoning my footsteps, cross over the ledge The fantastic light is calling me From the concrete sledge Stand among the rooftops, higher than the sky Float into the atmosphere and feel my body fly Float away from the earth forever Falling to the earth, parting from the mortal plane Flickering obscurity Forever putting out the flame

Pro-Death 03:03
Backed in the corner for twelve fucking years Graduation comes early this year With blood on your gowns and corpses on stage Letting the animal out of his cage the "freak" has snapped today that is proven the badge stuck tight in my uniform, woven a soldier of fortune, but none of it's good I spend time on mercy more than I should the screams just don't matter, none of you do humiliated for years, but now I'm through bullets are loaded, firearms are cocked blindly I fire into the flock spreading like pigeons, and ducks, and geese you put me through hell, I give you no peace as the blue break in, I put the gun to my head goodbye mama your marine is dead I'm pro death To your death This is the end Fucking dead

Cloaks 05:38
I spoke to god and he told me to die So I killed those people because he lied Do I deserve to be crucified with my mother watching? Moses spoke to god he was a prophet I spoke to god and now they're going to get me I covered their cadavers with sheets in the grass I can't take it, their gazes wont pass Empty and cold, dark stare The stench of iron in the air Corpses cloaked in white Bright in the black of night

Cold Winds 04:09
Grey world 20 years with nothing to show for Pathetic Waste of life The nights alone Rattle my bones Isolated in my thoughts Brain cells sick, and rotting Love is not enough No amount of money is enough Nothing is enough To survive Burdening existence Discomfort to all around me Eating every memory Slice the vein and wait
7.
Sunshine 03:34
Like a shot in my veins Like a rose grown through concrete Like a child breathing in the first air Laying in the sunshine, wind in your hair I think your neat I think your sweet Stay in the sunshine with me With me I think your sweet I think your neat I think your beautiful From head to feet Grow old with me Please die beside me Like air into gold Like the warm sun breaching the cold A world without you Is a world that's not for me
8.
The king of nothing The king of nil King of shit King of an empty kingdom Taste of piss Morning breath From sucking the dick Forced down your throat Everyday 9 to 5 Striving to live Not just to survive Sun up to sundown Black, white, and numb The broken crown Of my empty kingdom I rule over Absolute nothing I have no control Of my destiny Freewill is a lie Existence is a cycle Born to work Reproduce and die
9.
Beckoning my footsteps, cross over the ledge The fantastic light is calling me From the concrete sledge Stand among the rooftops, higher than the sky Float into the atmosphere and feel my body fly
10.
Where has everyone gone? You let them all leave. You pushed them away. They've abandoned you. Everyone leaves eventually. You told yourself that. They tried to tell you otherwise. You didn't trust them. Good. Fuck them. Listen to your head. Listen to what you tell yourself. You're alone with only the constant, rigid dialogue of your mind. You're a failure at everything you do. That will never change. Nothing will every change. Nobody will love you. Just stop. WAKE UP I'm sorry.
