1. LOST IN THE ECHO

(Yeah) (yo)
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back up, no, I'll hold myself.
Check the rep, yep you know my rail
Forget the rest let them know my hell
Damn, I'm back yep, my stories sell,
Kept respect up the vets stay their,
Let the rest be to tell they tale
That I was there saying…

And these promises broken
deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go.

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's it working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that frustration
Big cross, their lost but don't know
And I've come back unshaken
Let down, I've lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mad, I can't be calm
I can't sing flat, it aint my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
Cause I was there saying...

And these promises broken
Deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go!!!
Go, go, go.

No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know: Go Hard!
Won't forget how I got this far
And every time, saying…

And these promises broken
Deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go. (Go, go, go)


2. IN MY REMAINS

Separate, sifting through the wreckage,
I can't concentrate.
Searching for a message in the fear and pain.
Broken down and waiting for the chance to feel alive.

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let the silence ring to wash away worst of me.

Come apart, falling in the cracks of every broken heart.
Digging through the wreckage of your disregard
Sinking down and waiting for the chance to feel alive.

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let the silence ring to wash away worst of me.

Like an army falling, one by one by one.
Like an army falling, one by one by one.

Like an army falling, one by one by one.
Like an army falling, one by one by one.
Like an army falling, one by one by one.

Now in my remains, our promises, they never came
So let the silence ring to wash away worst of me.

(One by one, one by one by one)

Like an army falling, one by one by one.
Like an army falling, one by one by one.


3. BURN IT DOWN

The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down

And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

You told me yes
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier
You played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right
To hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall
I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall
I’ll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall
I’ll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground


4. LIES GREED MISERY

I'm a be that nail in your coffin
Sayin' that I soften
I was duckin' down to reload
So you can save your petty explanations
I don't have the patience
Before you even say it I know
You let your pride and your ego
Talk slick to me no
That is not the way I get down
And look at how you lose your composure
Now let me show ya/Exactly how the breaking point sound

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

What is it you want me to tell ya?
I am not the failure
I would rather live and let be
But you can't make the right kinda threat to
Push me to let you/No you can't intimidate me
Disrespect me so clearly/Now you better hear me
That is not the way it goes down
You did it to yourself and it's over
Now let me show ya/Exactly how the breaking point sound

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery

You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!

I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery


5. I'LL BE GONE

Like shining oil, this night is dripping down.
Stars are slipping down, glistening.
And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now
And no deceiving now.
It's time you let me know.
Let me know.

When the lights go out and we open our eyes,
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone.

The sand between us is getting thinner now
Into winter now, bittersweet.
And across that horizon, this sun is setting down
And you're forgetting now, it's time you let me go
Let me go.

When the lights go out and we open our eyes,
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone.

And tell the lie I couldn't help myself
And tell the lie was alone.
Oh tell me I am the only one
And there's nothing left to stop me.

When the lights go out and we open our eyes, out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone.

I'll be gone.


6. CASTLE OF GLASS

Take me down to the river-bend.
Take me down to the fighting end.
Wash the poison from off my skin.
Show me how to be whole again.

Fly me up on a silver wing.
Past the black where the sirens sing.
Warm me up in the nova's glow.
And drop me down to the drain below.

Cause I'm only a crack in this Castle of Glass.
Hardly anything left for you to see.
For you to see.

Bring me home in a blinding dream.
Through the secrets that I have seen.
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again.

Cause I'm only a crack in this Castle of Glass.
Hardly anything left for you to see.
For you to see.

Cause I'm only a crack in this Castle of Glass.
Hardly anything else I need to be.

Cause I'm only a crack in this Castle of Glass.
Hardly anything left for you to see.
For you to see.


7. VICTIMIZED

No regrets for the confidence betrayed,
No more hiding in shadow
Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid.
The time has come for you.

Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized

They're acting like they want a riot,
It's a riot I'll give 'em
As the sidle calms, higher on this violent rhythm
These snake in the grass, supplying the venom.
I ain't scared of your teeth, I ain't buying what's in 'em
You'll be waiting in the shadows
There thinking they're hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get 'em.
Lauren already hit 'em, yeah you got to be kidd'n.
Wanna talk about a victim? Imma put you there with 'em.

Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized


8. ROADS UNTRAVELED

Weep not for roads untraveled, weep not for paths alone.
Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end.
It's the worse kind of pain I've known

Give up your heart left broken and let that mistake pass on
Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Weep not for roads untraveled, weep not for sights unseen.
May your love never end and if you need a friend
There's a seat here along side me.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.

Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.
Woah. Oh.


9. SKIN TO BONE

Skin to bone, steel to rust. Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Let tomorrow have its way with the promises we made.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.

Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Your deception, my disgust.
When your name has finally gone,
I'll be happy that you're gone.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.

Ahhhh, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh, skin to bone and steel to rust.

Right to left and left to right.
Night to day and day to night.
As the starlight fades to grey,
I'll be marching far away.
Right to left and left to right.

Ahhhh, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh, skin to bone and steel to rust.

Let tomorrow have its way with the promises we chase.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.

Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.


10. UNTIL IT BREAKS

It goes a one, two, three....

(I was born with) the hunger of a lion,
The strength of a sun.
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Original style like an 808 drum, so I don't run the track.
No, I make the track run.
My mama taught me words, my dad, he built rockets.
I put 'em both together now, tell me what I got.
It's a pretty smart weapon:
I can shoot it, I can drop it.
(But) learn to respect it cause you clearly
Can't stop it like that.

Yea it aint over, cause the sharks on the left side,
The snakes on the right.
And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite.
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right.
Cause once you get the teeth in, nothing really fights.

Except for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
And you can run your mouth like
You could try to fill my shoes.
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you.
I'd be laying on the ground before
You're even in my view.
Like that.

Give me the strength of the rising sun.
Give me the truth of the words unsung.
And when the large bells ring, the poor men sing
"Bring me to kingdom come"

This is something for your people
On the block to/black out and rock to,
Give you whatcha need like Papa/Who shot ya
Separate the weak from the obselete,
You're meek, I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime
Quick witted ya'll
Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough, sucka, make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing
With the big guns will only get you slayed and I ain't playing
I'm just saying
You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver
While you quiver in your pants,
So shake shake down
Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank
I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now
I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy
You're a Brainwash, get the picture?
It's like that..

We swim against the rising waves and crash against the shore
The body bends until it breaks,
The early morning sings no more.
So rest your head,
It's time to sleep and dream of what's in store.
The body bends until it breaks, then sings again no more.
Cause time has torn the flesh away,
The early morning sings no more...


11. TINFOIL

(Instrumental)


12. POWERLESS

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine.
You woke the devil that I thought you left behind.
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through.
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose.

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall.
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless.

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end.
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend.
You'll never know what I became because of you.
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose.

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall.
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless.

Ohhhh.

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall.
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless.

Ohhhh.

Powerless...
Powerless...
