Lyrics

1. COFFIN CROWN

(Instrumental)

Hold the crown down


2. COLD BLOODED COMFORT

My greatest comfort has always been sedation
Fading to black has always been my escape, for I've long been a sinner and cast my hatred to the saints

Like weights tied around my legs, yearning pulls me to the bottom of the ocean known as despair
I've often questioned the end as much as I have welcomed it

Withering flesh, all that's left of a buried conscious
I've exposed my bones to the surfaces and stood idly by as I wait for them to break

Staring into the open sky, waiting for answers I don't deserve
I am waiting for answers I haven't earned

I've been left with a vague reflection of the child that I was born
Silence has become his only offer since I turned my back to him, fuck

I keep on digging deeper into despair
Of all the risen angels, why was I left behind to live like this

Teasing the wolves awaiting bloodshed, praying that I can hold my wounds together for long to get out of the woods

Of all the risen angels why was I left behind to live like this
The mirror lies... The mirror fucking lies


3. BLACK HEART MARKET

[Spoken:]
I'm living in America. In America you're on your own. America's not a country, it's just a business. Now fucking pay me

Welcome to the end of our hearts intent
We've been left with a star filled graveyard

We have all signed our name to the grave
We wait for the day we have to watch the skyline burn
Turn your back and feel the blade sinking in as we deem the kind of black hearts

Everyone I know has become a ghost
Lost, lonely souls ever more
Everyone I know has become a motherfucking ghost
Lost, lonely souls ever more

We have all signed our name to the grave
We wait for the day we have to watch the skyline burn
Turn your back and feel the blade sinking in as we deem the king

Deem me the king

You aren't the only one who thinks that life is just a fucking game, everyone plays and no one wins
You aren't the only one with a debt unsettled, rode hard and put up wet

Choose your poison and join the sick
(Fuck it)

You are not alone in this suffering
What do you fucking think it means to have the choice to live your life or lay down and die

You are not the only one who suffers
We are all just as hopeless
Who the fuck do you think you are

I've heard the same sad cries, countless times
"How could you do this to me, God why"
It's just part of the game that you hate but you can't change
Don't bleed out before the last scene
Your pride is worthless if you're dead
So die, fucking die with your boots strapped tight

Die with a smile but rest assured you'll be forgotten


4. GRIMY

So sick of this loathsome abyss
All that I want is to feel that I'm alive
My decadence is the reason I'm screaming
All that I want is to say that I fucking tried

Wallow in filth, can you get yourself clean from it?
Wallow in filth that you buried yourself in

It's such a hollowing confession;
That every path you've chose leads down the same road
That everyone you love has lead your heart astray and every hope you've had has landed in a grave

All I've ever wanted was to somehow find my way out of this darkness and finally reach the light

Wallow in filth, wallow in it
Can you get yourself clean from it
Wallow in filth
All the mess you've made for yourself
Can you get yourself clean from it

The saddest songs play and take me back to better days before I was so scarred, before I was so lost

I've built a tomb within my mind, and locked up all my pride; left to die

All of these voices screaming out
"who do you think you are fucking with"

I know you feel deserted, because you are
I know you feel abandoned, because you should be
I'm fucking rotten, I've been forgotten
I'm not worth the time it takes to change.
I'm fucking filthy
I'm not worth saving
My soul is withered
I'm fucking grimy


5. A GLIMMER OF...

[Actual recording of Texas man to 911]


6. DYING FIVE MILES FROM WHERE YOU WERE BORN

There's no escaping this hell, nothing left to tell myself
Every night gets darker, and every morning I wake lifeless
Still breathing, still grieving, still able to feel the pain
Still breathing, still grieving, completely desolate

My eyes are artifacts, watching the world collapse
So long, good riddance
In an open grave I await the end, fucking get it over with now
End this now

All that's left in me are fading memories

There is nothing you can say to try and save me
I'd rather never breathe again if it meant I could forget;
Every passing of love, all the years in disgust
How could I trust anyone

Scars tie me to the past

These open wounds will never heal, only bleed through eternity
There's no room left in heaven for me

All that's left in me are fading memories
Who needs friends with all these demons


7. HEAT

All I wanted was to watch the world burn out with you when both our hearts began to beat in deadly synchronicity

Like a moth drawn to flame, you can feel the heat;
You just can not turn away
More lessons learned through defeat than any victory
But the fact remains; I'd give anything to erase all of our history

You lit a fire beneath the most precious wings, just to ignite the sky and see true peril in the light

I will live to love another name, but it doesn't change a fucking thing
My past still carries your disgrace

I'll never sleep again if dreams are made of you
My every dream has turned a nightmare
I'll never sleep again if dreams are made of you
My every dream has turned a fucking nightmare

Should I remind you of just how fickle you are
Should I reveal the truth of all the filthy things you've done
I wouldn't waste my time trying to polish your lies
The truth will surely find its way back to the eyes of everyone that you have fucked

I have no love left for your lying eyes
I have no love left for your wicked tongue
I have no love left for our memories
I have no love left, may you rest in piss

I will love you more when you're feeding worms
I will love you more when you are laying in a fucking casket

I'll never sleep again if dreams are made of you
My every dream has turned a nightmare
I'll never sleep again if dreams are made of you
My dreams are fucking dead

If I am destined for hell, may heaven hold your place
I'd rather burn alone than ever have to rot by your side


8. DANCING WITH THE DEVIL IN PALE MOONLIGHT

I need a makeshift lover like a bullet in the head.
Thanks to them I've grown despondent.

Something about the way, something about the way you say that love can't save,
sounds like the whisper of a snake.
Wait for the right time to strike, then spit your venom.

I've become a man devoid of trust in anyone who wasn't bound by blood, for water only proves thicker in our tears.

I have never known a dream to transcend reality without a reason to retreat.
There's something about the way you say I will never see the day when love becomes my only saving grace...

Beneath the moonlight, you seem so lovely.
Oh how our eyes deceive, now don't they?

I have never known a dream to transcend reality without a reason to retreat.
Something about the way you say, nothing can overcome this pain sounds like the devil's poison reckoning.

Spit venom.

Every wounded lover has the feeling they'll never heal.
Every ruined romance leaves the stain of regret.

On to the next foolish victim waiting in line to sign away their life.
On to the next foolish victim...

Take the lead, a foot on the floor - one in the grave.
Can't you just see we're destine to deserve this?
Follow me, a foot on the floor - one in the grave.
Can't you see we're dancing with the devil?


9. SUNDAY RAIN

My scar collection is proof that I've been through hell and lived to tell about it
So let the misery pour down on me like fucking rain

The day I realized where every ecstasy lies was the day my suicide plot slowly dissolved
What's the point in ending an existence before its time
My influence will live on after I die

Save your tears for a day when you can land a river to free them
Save your tears for a better day to drown your fucking sorrows

I've spent countless nights with nothing more than the thought of suicide
There is a battle within that I'm not sure is worth winning

Even if hell is imminent, every thought is a plague
To everyone I love, just know
I've always wanted so much more

I used to love the rain until it fell everyday
I used to love the rain until it flooded everything

Save your tears for a day when you can lend a river to free them
Save your tears for a better day to drown your fucking sorrows

Bless this mess

Everything I say revolves around this fucking pain
I can't decide whether it's worth the fucking time, to even speak
Everything I say revolves around this pain, I can't decide... is it worth the time to speak

One day I realized where every ecstasy lies


10. RED IN THE WATER

Weak bitches better back up, go ahead get your mouth smacked up
HP bumpin clubs and sucka duckin motherfuckers on the daily
No caution, call it arson cause we rollin motherfuckers like blunts
Cunts get dumped in a ditch quick, so get your wrists slit still listenin to this shit
Now cock the biscuit and pull it back and put it in between your eyes and think about that... end it.
