1. CHEMICAL PRISONER

I walk a fine line between coping and insanity
The right pills, right now would be the wrong time
I have a hard time between flying and sobriety
The wrong thrill, strong will to keep myself alive

I've watched this rip apart my family
Fuck that, I'd rather die with honor
But when the drug is runnin' through me I can feel no pain
It's not worth the price I pay

It's so hard to be together
And I try, and I try
But it won't get better
Forever
Days go, days go by
I won't die, I won't die cause
I must, I must try
Forever

I missed a phone call from a friend I knew the other day
It was strange, it changed my life forever
A couple days go by, I found out that he passed away
The right drug, wrong time, he'll be remembered

There's two wolves that battle in us all right now
One's good,
The other one is evil
If you're wondering which wolf inside will succeed
It's simple, it's the one that you feed

It's so hard to be together
And I try, and I try
But it won't get better
Forever
Days go, days go by
I won't die I won't die cause
I must I must try
Forever

It's so hard to be together
And it won't get better
Days go, days go by
But I must I must try
Forever

It's so hard to be together
And I try, and I try
But it won't get better
Forever
Days go, days go by
I won't die I won't die cause
I must I must try
Forever

It's so hard to be together
Forever
It's so hard to be together
Forever
Forever
Forever


2. GOD, IF YOU ARE ABOVE...

God cannot save my soul
It's straight to hell for me, I know
And when I get there,
At least I've found a place to call my home

They say the truth will set you free
Then why am I still here?
I've got no truth left, don't you see?
Am I making myself clear?

Resolution, no solution

God, if you are above... I fear
That one day the whole world will disappear
And if it does, will I have lived my life the way that I could?
The way that I should?

My spirit's stuck between two roads
And waiting there on me
The first path is the way to go
The life I wanna lead

The second road's my crazy past
The darkest parts I try to mask
The drugs, the guns, the lies, the love
The dreams I had of waking up!

Resolution, no solution

God, if you are above... I fear
That one day the whole world will disappear
And if it does, will I have lived my life the way that I could?
The way that I should?

Don't tell me I'm not worth the time!
I will be fine
All these prayers have gone unanswered...
Where were you?
Where were you?!

God, if you are above... I fear
That one day the whole world will disappear
And if it does, will I have lived my life the way that I could?
The way that I should?

God, if you are above... I fear
That one day the whole world will disappear
And if it does, will I have lived my life the way that I could?
The way that I should?


3. SEXY DRUG

Sexy girl, I just fell in love
You should try it, it's a hell of a drug.
Like O-M-G, you make me come, come, complete.

I'm looking for reasons,
I'm begging and pleading,
I'm dreaming of calling you mine.
You keep me st-st-st-stuttering, stumbling,
Fumbling over my lines.
Without you girl,
I'm not alright,
I'm not okay...
(yeah!)

No, don't give up on me.
Wait, it's not what it seems.
Now, we can't stop this tragedy,
And it's back to the start.
(yeah, yeah)
And we're falling apart.
(yeah, yeah)

Sexy girl, come and lay with me
I'm frustrated, and it's sexually.
Like O-M-G, you make me come, come, complete.

I'm just being honest,
We're creeping and crawling,
I'm kissing the top of your head.
We're rocking and rolling,
We're touching and moaning,
And making a mess of your bed.
Can someone help, she shot me dead.
I can't be saved...
(yeah!)

No, don't give up on me.
Wait, it's not what it seems.
Now, we can't stop this tragedy...

So God, if you are real, I need your help,
Because this girl has stolen my heart with her broken halo.
And I can't deny, she's so damn fine.
Give me some advice.

Sexy girl, I just fell in love
You should try it, it's a hell of a drug.
Like O-M-G, you make me come, come, complete.

No, don't give up on me.
Wait, it's not what it seems.
Now, we can't stop this tragedy...

No, don't give up on me.
Wait, it's not what it seems.
Now, we can't stop this tragedy,
And it's back to the start.
(yeah, yeah)
And we're falling apart.
(yeah, yeah)
And it's back to the start.
(yeah, yeah)
And we're falling apart.
(yeah, yeah)
Shot straight through the heart.


4. JUST LIKE YOU

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
I am aware that I am an asshole
I really don't care about all of that though

Na na na na, na na na na
I've got nothing to prove
Na na na na, na na na na
But honestly I'm just like you

I've got a bad case of A.D.D.
I've been this way since 17
I've got a fucked up brain and a really bad attitude
I blame it on my drug abuse

So, you don't wanna be
Too close to me
'Cause you might see my broken heart

I am aware that I am an asshole
I really don't care about all of that though
I'm living my life the way that I want to
And you can't deny
That honestly I'm just like you

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you

I've been so lonely for the longest time
They tell me that I'm such a lovable guy (yeah, right)
Could it be because I'm off my meds?
Or could it be just something I said?

You don't wanna be
Too close to me
'Cause you might see my broken heart

I am aware that I am an asshole
I really don't care about all of that though
I'm living my life the way that I want to
And you can't deny
That honestly I'm just like you

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na

And I'm always stuck with some bad luck
Now I'm just a boy who's angry at his mom
And I hope in fact she breaks her back
The moment I step on this crack
And don't tell me I'm not worth it
'Cause you are far from perfect

I am aware that you are all assholes
Who the hell cares about all of that though?

I am aware that I am an asshole
I really don't care about all of that though
I'm living my life the way that I want to
And you can't deny
That honestly I'm just like you

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na
Just like you
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na na


5. GUILLOTINE IV (THE FINAL CHAPTER)

My heart is on fire again,
From the depths of hell, it swallows me in
The demons are all in my head,
Pulling me in, pulling me in

Here I go,
Sinking below, sinking below
All I know
Is fading away, fading away from me now

This can't be happening
I've watched my whole world fall apart

So long, farewell, to the best of me
It's so far away
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And it's so hard to say
There's no way out
And you are way too late
Say goodbye to the rest of me...

Bound;
By the demons, they doubt me
My whole world, around me, is drowning
And the demons I hate
Are the monsters I always create

My heart is on fire again,
From the depths of hell, it swallows me in
The demons are all in my head,
Pulling me in, pulling me in

This can't be happening
I've watched my whole world fall apart

So long, farewell, to the best of me
It's so far away
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And it's so hard to say
There's no way out
And you are way too late
Say goodbye to the rest of me...

So long, farewell, to the best of me
It's so far away
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And it's so hard to say
There's no way out
And you are way too late
Say goodbye to the rest of me...

So long, farewell, to the best of me
It's so far away
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And it's so hard to say
There's no way out
And you are way too late
Say goodbye to the rest of me...


6. STAY AWAY

I've watched my life flash right before my eyes just one too many times
I've graced the devil's lips, her kiss of death but somehow I'm alright

I take another pill
So I won't feel the pain
This mess I've made
I'll celebrate it on the day I die

Die,
Can't get away
Show me the truth,
I'm sick of the lies
Why must we pretend?
Repeating this over and over again

[Chorus:]
Stay away,
This is your last warning
I am not the same
Please do not adore me
It's not your fault what have I done? who can I trust?
I don't belong here
And I have lost my way again
Stay away from me

I've had this mindset that it's me against the world since I was born
Don't want your company, don't fuck with me, can't say I did not warn

I've got my back on the wall,
There ain't no person to call
I fall, I can't back up again

The only thing that I know,
I do it all on my own alone
That's how it's always been

[Chorus]

Stay, stay, stay away
This is true, I'm telling you
Just stay, stay, stay away
Don't misconstrue, I'm warning you

[Chorus]


7. WAIT AND SEE

This is where we begin!

Calling all cars, it's an emergency, listen
Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the end of existence
The television is fiction, it's telling lies to our vision
It's like a prison that we live in and we're all in the system

We live in a box and keep our family traditions
We keep our guns cocked, stocked up with more ammunition
We teach our children to kill instead of teaching them wisdom
And politicians waging wars blame it all on religion

We're dying
I'm feeling like I'm losing it again
The only person that we're losing is yourself to this
I'm trying to be all that they want me to be
But it's hard to believe we are the enemy

Will you wait and see
When the world stops spinning and we're all pretending to be okay
But it's hard to be when you find out it's fake

Humanity is trapped in a prison
Open up your eyes
See the vision
Wait and see
When the world stops spinning I won't stop pretending to be

Calling all people, we're in a state of confusion
Because we hate what we love, and it's like a drug we abuse it.
And we're polluting solutions, and we're all equal as humans
Truly united we stand, damn, let's connect through the music

All this hatred I'm seeing, but it's all an illusion
People using social media to hurt us, it's stupid
And all these kids just feel the need to cut themselves on their wrist
The type of shit their parents miss because they're losing their grip

We're dying
I'm feeling like I'm losing it again
The only person that we're losing is yourself to this
I'm trying to be all that they want me to be
But it's hard to believe we are the enemy

Will you wait and see
When the world stops spinning and we're all pretending to be okay
But it's hard to be when you find out it's fake

Humanity is trapped in a prison
Open up your eyes
See the vision
Wait and see
When the world stops spinning I won't stop pretending to be

What in the hell have we done to ourselves
Brick by brick we've built this cell
We are nothing left but a hollow shell, hollow shell

Wait and see
When the world stops spinning and we're all pretending to be okay
But it's hard to be when you find out it's fake

Will you wait and see
When the world stops spinning and we're all pretending to be okay
But it's hard to be when you find out it's fake

Humanity is trapped in a prison
Open up your eyes
See the vision
Wait and see
When the world stops spinning I won't stop pretending to be
When the world stops spinning I won't stop pretending to be
When the world stops spinning I won't stop pretending to be okay
But it's hard to be when you find out it's fake


8. THE BITTER END

I'd die before I'd let you beat me

Lost in a moment of time
Self destruct switch on
I try
But it happens the same
Everyday

Here I go standing on the edge
Holding on to the bitter end
This is it this is me with the weight of the whole world on my shoulders again
As I look up to the sky
All the pain that is in my eyes
It's all the things that you don't see
But you best believe that it's haunting me

Stuck inside this fucking mind
Goodbye
I will shut down
Mission abort down for the count
Stuck in a cycle
Trapped in a nightmare
Losing what matters
See if I fight fair

Here I go standing on the edge
Holding on to the bitter end
This is it this is me with the weight of the whole world on my shoulders again
As I look up to the sky
All the pain that is in my eyes
It's all the things that you don't see
But you best believe that it's haunting me

I'm afraid I'm afraid
This is what I can't be
Get away, get away
I just want to be happy
[x2]

I set sail on a voyage unknown
Aboard a vessel that I call my soul
And I've been searching for what makes me whole
Sinking in the ocean on an empty boat

Take me home I'm lost all alone, all alone

I set sail on a voyage unknown
Aboard a vessel that I call my soul
And I've been searching for what makes me whole
Sinking in the ocean on an empty boat

Here I go standing on the edge
Holding on to the bitter end
This is it this is me with the weight of the whole world on my shoulders again
As I look up to the sky
All the pain that is in my eyes
It's all the things that you don't see
But you best believe that it's haunting me

They tortured me


9. MY HEART'S TO BLAME

Walk away from all the pain
Found the peace with it again
And after all I've seen
And everything in between
My heart's the one to blame
My heart's to blame

So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your own
And this is where I disappear
So turning back is what I hate the most
It doesn't matter anyway
I guess there's nothing left to say
So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your own

I ran away from my mistakes
Crashed and burned but I'm okay
The most important thing
Learning what it all will bring
My heart's the one to blame
My heart's to blame

So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your own
And this is where I disappear
So turning back is what I hate the most
It doesn't matter anyway
I guess there's nothing left to say
So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your...

Goodbye, you're on your own.

(It doesn't matter anyway)
(I guess there's nothing left to say)
(So where do we all go from here)
(It's time to say goodbye)
You're on your own

So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your own
And this is where I disappear
So turning back is what I hate the most
It doesn't matter anyway
I guess there's nothing left to say
So where do we all go from here
It's time to say goodbye, you're on your own.

(My heart's to blame)
You're on your own.
(My heart's to blame)
You're on your own.


10. GET ME OUT

School is in another year
And I just want to disappear again, again
I hate the world I just can't win
And sometimes I just wish it would all end, all end!
1, 2, 3, 4!

I walk around with headphones in
A hoodie on,
I'm trying to blend in
With all the other useless kids
That's how I've always been

I know one day I'll be
The king of the music scene
Like OMG

So what do you do when everyone fails you?
Am I just a stupid boy with nothing left to lose?
So sick and tired, no desire to stay in this town
So hopefully my hopes and dreams will get me out

Well, I'm stereotype of a fucked-up kid
And there's nothing really nice about the way I live
I got no money in my pocket but I'm handsome and cocky
Start a band with my posse beat the scene up like Rocky

I'm a lady winner take your sister to dinner
And I may kiss her but I won't even miss her
I'm a bad boy big dreams headed to the top
And I'm a sing my little heart out 'til the music stops

So what do you do when everyone fails you?
Am I just a stupid boy with nothing left to lose?
So sick and tired, no desire to stay in this town
So hopefully my hopes and dreams will get me out, get me out

Go!

And I know one day I'll be
The king of the music scene
Like OMG

So what do you do when everyone fails you?
Am I just a stupid boy with nothing left to lose?
So sick and tired, no desire to stay in this town
So hopefully my hopes and dreams will get me out

(just get me out)
When everyone fails you,
(just get me out)
With nothing left to lose
(just get me out)
I'm so sick and tired, no desire to stay in this town
(just get me out)
So hopefully my hopes and dreams will get me out, just get me out


11. DIE FOR YOU

I admit that I'm far from perfect
Who are you to judge me like I'm worthless
I will not conform or be your puppet
I will never trust you cause the loyalty is dead

I would've died for you
I'm killing myself hanging on your words
And it goes to show how bad it hurts
For what it's worth
Some things are better left unsaid

You won't
Destroy me
This is
Your warning
I have a dark side
I have an army
Within me's
A secret
A thousand years
Of torment
Caged up like monster
Forever I will wander

I would've died for you
I'm killing myself hanging on your words
And it goes to show how bad it hurts
For what it's worth
Some things are better left unsaid

Break it up!

I'm no longer able to believe in what we're fighting for
Your lying soul will burn below and I hope that it happens slow
Tell that bastard that you call your father if you bother
That he should have raised you with a heart and taught you a bit of honor

Go!

The world as we know it is a motherfucking battle ground

I would've died for you
I'm killing myself hanging on your words
And it goes to show how bad it hurts
For what it's worth
Some things are better left unsaid

I would've died for you
Hanging on your words
I would've died for you
And it goes to show how bad it hurts
For what it's worth
Some things are better left unsaid

Better left unsaid, said, blah!


12. BROTHER (FT. DANNY WORSNOP OF ASKING ALEXANDRIA)

Brother, why'd you have to go?
You left us all so soon.
Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago?
Well, they're all waiting for you to come home.

What do I do?
What do I say?
And Dad tells me to pray.
So I prayed and prayed but the hurt won't go away.

The pain gets worse, it never stops,
And I've asked the Lord for us to swap.
I beg and plead, 'cause you have kids to feed.

Why is it always stormy weather?
And brother,
Tell me if it all gets better.
Why did you leave?
Why did you die?
You finally made your brother cry.
I know you're watching over us tonight,
And I hope you're watching over us tonight.

I'm sorry I missed your call.
I wasn't there for you at all.
And know, I've thought it through,
Maybe if I answered you
That you would still be here all along.

Now, no more calls.
Can't you see,
I took for granted family.
And once they're gone, you'll never get that back.

No more laughs,
No more hugs,
So hold on to the ones you love.
Your soul is free,
I love you, Anthony.

And why is it always stormy weather?
And brother,
Tell me when does it get better?
Why did you leave?
Why did you die?
You finally made your brother cry.
I know you're watching over from above,
So hold on to the ones you love.


DELUXE EDITION


13. MY APOCALYPSE II

I've walked this road of misery
That's where I found my comfort
So I pick and chose my company
But one is a lonely number
I am all I've got
This is the breaking ground of what you are not

[Chorus:]
What happened to me again
I'm slipping through the cracks
I've seen the light, the afterlife
Of reliving my past
And when will it ever stop?
It's very clear, my biggest fear is falling from the top

Falling from the top

I've had my days where I found peace
But I am falling back down
And I want to believe that the grass is green
There's only one way to find out
Over and over and over again
This is unbelievable
From this day on, I am all I've got

[Chorus]

All I want is to be adored
Find someone who wants nothing more
When I was young, disowned and pushed away
And that's why I wanted all this fame
(Wanted all this fame)
But you're to blame

Over and over and over again, and again
I'm slipping through the cracks
I've seen the light, the afterlife
Of reliving my past
And when will it ever stop?
It's very clear, my biggest fear is falling from the top
Falling from the top
Falling from the


14. PRAY

I was raised in a house with a dark cloud over it
I just wanted to get out and see the sun again
But no matter where I went, it followed me around
I guess it's just my luck, forever

[Chorus:]
So I pray for the day that the rain will come and wash away
All the pain that I face
It's getting way too hard to take
I'll run away, run away, run away
It's getting way too hard to take
I'll run away

It's always me versus myself and it's always in my mind
And the saddest part of all is knowing it won't die
I have gotten close with pain like a blade across my skin
But the scars, they still remain forever

[Chorus]

My past seems to haunt me
My future is blurry
My addictions, they taught me
No matter what happens but I'm not sorry for the things I've done
They made me the person I am now
It made me the person I am now

[Chorus 2x]

But I'm not sorry
But I'm not sorry
