Les paroles

1. THE INEVITABLE

When the world turns its back on you,
You turn your back on the fucking world


2. TAKE THIS TO HEART

I don't want your sympathy
For this life that's been given to me
You only showed me
How to live with the ones that leave.

And with my pride is all that you left me
I will survive because I am not you

Time after time
Just know that I was the one who stood by you
And in the end
Remember you were the one who fucking left me

So once again
I'll be the one here with my heart in my hand
I know I said that I would forget
But you're forever in the back of my head

Is this all we'll ever know?
I would give anything
Cause I can't face this on my own
These broken hands make broken things
Lost and alone

You buried me with what you couldn't be
Am I a symbol of all the things you never wanted to see?
You took life for granted
I hope you choke
On every promise you've made

All your words lack of their meaning
Yet you never thought you'd lose it all
You claimed you'd change with the seasons
But you never made it past the fall

So mark my grave unknown
It's said to live life with a heart of gold
But a heart of stone is all I really have to show
And if I'm not the only one in this world
Then tell me why do I feel so damn alone?


3. DELIVERANCE

Carve me down and hollow me out
Take this world where I have been bound
If only you could see how I see
You'd understand who I am

When everyday's a fight with the mirror
I blame the face staring back at me
Look though these eyes and nothing gets clearer
The path I've made is not one I want to take

I thought I knew these hands
I thought that I could change
The world was in my palms, and I threw it away

Take me from everything I couldn't leave,
You know I'll be here waiting
Because I don't want to live this way,
If anything can save me

All these legacies were born from picture perfect prophecies
I couldn't carry
Save me from myself, how could you ever rest this all on me?
I'll only break you

Go inform the masses
They should never live by what I say
I've torn this life to pieces
Who would ever put their trust in me now?

I am a savage

I've created this hell
And I must burn in it
I've created this hell
And I will never escape it

Because I could never escape from..

All I've become
Is all I'll ever be
I'll leave this place,
So I can burn in peace

I just want to be put back together
If the good die young,
Then I will live forever
I'd sell my soul to let this go

Take me from everything I couldn't leave,
You know I'll be here waiting
Because I don't want to live this way,
If anything can save me

Take me from everything I couldn't leave,
You know I'll be here waiting
Because I don't want to live this way,
If anything can save me


4. DESOLATE AND DISOWNED

Some may never put this together,
But the intended is not left to wonder
It's such a shame how you made it this way
We once were family but strangers we've come to be
And strangers we'll stay
The ties were severed the moment you said my name
So what did you gain
Only to lose everything

You'll die alone
Left desolate and disowned
You'll die alone
Left desolate and disowned

So hold your tongue

So you won't be mistaken
Of saying something you'll end up regretting
The ice on which you stand is cracking
I'll give the push to watch it all come crashing

Oh
There's nowhere left to go
When every bridge is burned there's nowhere you can turn
All your darkest secrets known
My friend craig has a list and you will be exposed

As you start to feel your pride ripped from your insides,
You try to mend but only I can make it subside
As you start to feel your pride ripped from your insides,
You try to mend but only I can make it subside

Live each day with these thoughts in your head
You cant escape the past behind you
The choice you made will haunt you forever
The choice you made will haunt you forever

Don't bother trying to explain, because I know everything
Nothing will make this go away
It's far too late, it's best we go our separate ways


5. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

How does it feel
To know that everything you want is ours?
You never had it
And you know you never will

You always said
That this would never be worth it
For what it's worth
You'll never let this go

Oh, I can't believe I turned my back
And you were right there to leech
I can't believe I turned my back
And you were right there to leech

Let them see
That you're a product
Of a foundation built on greed

I will make them see
You stand for nothing
This could never be
You took what's left of us

What's it worth to walk this world unknown
Believing you're the chosen one?
What's to live this life alone
Convinced that you will be someone?
You know you're worthless

We will be everything
We've ever dreamed
We will be everything
We've ever dreamed

So keep telling yourself
That everything will be fine
You just look pathetic
You're only wasting our time
No one cares about you
Your story has no meaning
You buried the truth
But they won't keep believing

I will make them see
You stand for nothing
This could never be
You took what's left of us

We always knew that it would come to this
Your fucking ego never made this easy
So take a breath
And let this all sink in
You selfish fuck
I hope you burn in hell


6. VULTURES

I will destroy all that's in my way

Believe me there will be no mercy
So go ahead and fucking touch me
I wont cease you'll end up feet deep
So go ahead and fucking touch me

Left for dead, and far too busy biting down on the cement
Shattered grin to match the cracks that stretch across this old pavement

You're scum

I'll rip your worthless life right from your eyes
I'll fucking seize everything

Like fucking vultures
Prey upon the weak
Like fucking vultures
Like fucking vultures

This will not end tonight
A plague sent from the sky
We'll hunt and we will feast
An unstoppable breed
Forget your hopes and dreams
I'll slaughter everything

We are the fear in the back of your mind
We are the ruthless and we can not die (we can not die)
Like a disease, running down through your spine
We are the ruthless and we wont die

This is more then a war
This is the dawning of a god damn massacre
Its time we settle this score
So from your throat to the floor
Blood will pour

Blood will pour

I'll raise a toast to those decayed
And piss all over your fucking grave


7. THE LIFE THEY PROMISED

Closed eyes to outside's deception
Fighting for a way to see
This is not what we envisioned
Things are never what they seem

Will we ever find a way to end this?
Cause I'm afraid that it's all a lie
We'll keep searching for the life they promised
Your hand in mine

Caught in a chain reaction
If we go, what will we find?
Blinded by all these distractions
How could we make it out alive?

This passion building inside me
Our hollow hearts denied
We're all left starving for answers
The only thing that we know
Is this weight that we hold

We won't stand, we won't stand down
While everything that we have is just slipping away
We won't stand, we won't stand down
While everything that we have is just slipping away

And with this road we take
Will we be able to see the best in everything?
It's all we'll need

If we believe
We can change anything

Will we ever find a way to end this?
Cause I'm afraid that it's all a lie
We'll keep searching for the life they promised
Your hand in mine

No one else can save us
As locusts block the sun
The earth shatters and tides run red
With blood


8. HERE'S TO LETTING GO

How am I supposed to sleep
When I can't even find peace in my dreams?
I'm never safe from my mind racing.
Don't tell me that this didn't mean everything.

Your words were all I had to hold on to.
Some days I wish I could just
Go back to the person I thought I knew.

Cause I've let go
Of what I needed the most.
I always wanted to be
What you had wanted from me,
And all I hope
Is you forget this,
I know I've made so many mistakes,
But I can't make you stay,
So I'll go.

Just count me out
Cause I can't love anymore.
I'm far too fragile
To be keeping score.
I'm told the truth will set you free
But all of this could almost kill me.

I tried to ignore the writing on the wall.
I wish I was wrong.
Deep down I know you're not sleeping alone.

Just go away,
I'm not gonna play these fucking games.
Just go away;
I'm not gonna play these fucking games.

I spent all my days here
Waiting for you.
I always gave us a shot,
You never saw us through.
Just give me a second to look in your eyes
So I can come to grips
That this was all a lie.

How could I say goodbye?
It's not like I think about you constantly.
You always leave with the best of me.

Cause I've let go
Of what I needed the most.
I always wanted to be
What you had wanted from me,
And all I hope
Is you forget this,
I know I've made so many mistakes,
But I can't make you stay,
So I'll go.

So you can act like this won't mean a thing,
But we both know
You will never forget me.
Cause I've let go.


9. XIII

just wanted to let you know that you will never compare to me

I forgot how mighty you are
You walk around like you're building an empire,
But we know you're a fucking fad
No words, just brag after brag

Is that all you have?
Just another excuse of how we got so far?
Does this make you mad?
Don't worry, we'll keep living the way we are

No one real thing is alive inside you
No matter what you say, not one thing will be fucking true

I forgot how mighty you are
You walk around like you're building an empire,
But we know you're a fucking fad
No words, just brag after brag

Is that all you have?
Just another excuse of how we got so far?
Does this make you mad?
Don't worry, we'll keep living the way we are

You'll find yourself amongst the shelves,
But you're never gonna "catch that fame"
Just take a good look at yourself
Nothing's ever gonna make this change
(Make this change)

Let go

Is that all you have?
Just another excuse of how we got so far?
Does this make you mad?
Don't worry, we'll keep living the way we are


10. THE AWAKENING

Let it be known, the end is visible
And where you stand is critical
We can't reach what we condone
Descended by the image of the cynical

Forgive us for we didn't know it laid so visceral

Nowhere to hide, I fear it draws close.
Head for the hills, and watch it unfold

This is the expiration of the old domain;
Devastation
We will overcome this,
But for now we must suffer
For now we must pay.
We have to face this.
And so we march
Back and forth
Back and forth
Step by step
Back and forth
back and forth

Guide us with your exclamation.
Will the new world reach our expectations?
A striking disclosure of what's to come,
But after it's gone, will there be remorse?

Open up the sky.
Let it rain down and flood this world of mine.
Consume us all.

Infect us all with masses of every foe.
We won't rest our Souls 'til caskets are hammered closed.

Here we stand at the edge of the Earth.
I can see them waiting.
(I) won't look back.
The time is now.
It's ours for the taking.

We carry out!
We carry out!

I have come to realize...
I'm already dead
