1. WOUND

I can see why you felt the way you did
When you're seconds from the end
Do you think of me
Or is it all the same
Did you walk through the walls
Were you ever here at all
Is it empty black
Or is it all the same

My open wound

Heavy hand from a heavy head
I was there and didn't see
With a single blow
He wiped it all away
You've bit right through your tongue
So who here's at fault?
What a fucked up question

My open wound
It scabs again
But it never heals over
My open wound
Is draped around me
All for your entertainment

Is it artful drowning
Or a gross exaggeration
Of a higher power
Still watching over

I don't think so
But it's just a waste of thought
Because I don't believe in god

I can't separate it from the rest
It's such a fucking shame
That unless we shared a past
Or it's the apple of my eye
It still wouldn't change a thing

It's a sad, sad truth
But we all come to terms

My open wound
It scabs again
But it never heals over
My open wound
Is draped around me
All for your entertainment

I can't separate it from the rest
And you say it's such a shame
You say it's a waste of thought
Because I don't believe in god
Between you and me
Who am I to be saved?

I don't want to be alive


2. I SUFFOCATE

What's the difference in too much
And not saying enough
When it all feels like suffocating?

It takes the air right from my lungs
But I could never bite my tongue
You watch me die

But if these walls could talk
Would it reveal a better ending
Or would I hate myself just the same
Or would it be worse
Than knowing nothing at all?

It all feels like I'm wasting time
It all feels like suffocating
Just like suffocating

But if these walls could talk
Would it reveal a better ending
Or would I hate myself just the same
Or would it be worse
Than knowing nothing at all?

With a lot of anger
And a pocket full of shells
You could leave a lot of weight
For them to burden
What were your intentions?
I couldn't tell you mine

Are you the lowest of the low
A filthy parasite
Bleed me out to death
Just so you can stay alive

But I'm running out of breath
And I fucking suffocate

I suffocate
I fucking suffocate
I suffocate
And it's still not enough


3. IN DARKNESS

Forcing through this hole
My spirit weak
A shadow feels familiar
I guess I live in its wake

The weight of what you've done
Towers above me
Its shadow grows and stretches
Farther than my eyes can see

In darkness, I
In darkness, why always me
Why not you
Or someone else for a change

Stuck in the dark

(In darkness, I
In darkness, why always me
Why not you
Or someone else for a change)

In darkness, I
In darkness, why always me
Why not you
Or someone else for a change

In darkness, I
In darkness, why always me

Stuck in the dark
Why always me


4. BLEEDING

You know life's a funny thing
But it's really just a bitch
So I salt another wound
Just to satisfy the itch
And these cuts become scars
With a line for every line
Buried in the past
No way to tell if it hurts

Bleed out of my misery
Invoke my wrath on my own self
To make you hurt
And there's something in the way
If I ever find the message
Is it for you or for me

What can you promise me
That doesn't leave, love, or lie
I couldn't imagine
That one is just too many
When a dozen's just a few
I watch you waste away

If I take my own hand
And I turn it against myself
Does that mean I have free will
Or am I just a fucking pawn

I don't think I have a fucking chance
That's how it is on this bitch of an earth
What are you waiting for

It's your move
Motherfucker


5. (FEAR)

Wound, I suffocate, in darkness, bleeding...
All based from fear
All the result of simple, old-fashioned fear
You see, because when it grips
It holds you so fucking tight
You start to notice your own breathing
All the sudden it's off-rhythm
You become aware of your own fucking sweat
And it's all cold
It's cold
Just thought you should know


6. SOUTH OF ONE (FT. BRENDAN MURPHY)

South of one
And peace just never comes

It would seem we meet again
Under better circumstance
You'd be dead if it were up to me
Lucky you I suppose

South of fucking one
And peace just never comes
And you forget I walked this earth
It would seem to be a waste
A ghost in the machine
What's under the surface

It would seem it's time to go
Well I thought it'd never come
And you forget I walked this earth

South of one
And peace just never comes
South of one

Was it really just for this
Just a fucking game
You forget I walked this earth

South of one
Was it really all just for this
South of one
Was it all for nothing
South of one
Was it all for this
South of one
It all amounts to nothing


7. ROMANCE

From the tone of your voice
To the chills on my skin
I can feel the heat on my face
Raising the hairs on my neck
I feel so low

Surround by so much noise
Blow me away
Make it stop
But you bring me closer to god

Closer to god


8. OBSTACLE III

Stuck in a rut with nowhere to go
Obstacles keep me inside this hole
Spinning around and around we go
I can't tell what's true

Why do we spend our entire life
Just living, searching for more?
The challenge I see it spins in my head
Around and around it goes

I don't see the point to deny the truth
When pain is an illogical thing
What I would gain from a fraction of the truth
If I hate the taste?

Tearing my insides out for you
It's just logical harm
Underestimating subtleties...
In darkness I find...

I taste it still inside of my teeth
I don't want more
Reason to doubt or reason to live
At this point

Tearing my insides out for you
It's just logical harm
Underestimating subtleties...
In darkness I find...

Tearing my insides out for you
It's just logical harm
Underestimating subtleties...
In darkness I find...

I don't see the point to deny the truth
When pain is an illogical thing


9. I AGAINST I

So it's me against myself
So I guess you really wouldn't understand
What it's like to be me
In this fucked up world
With a fucked-up past
Don't want to feel anything again

Promise me this
You'll still carry my name

What I'd do to never lose you
Oh it's such a scary thought
From such a scary place
Oh what I wouldn't do
Oh what I wouldn't do
Anything could be true

Just tell me
It all meant something more
Just tell me
It's more that I can hope for
Just tell me that
It meant something more
That it meant more that I can hope for

So it's me against myself
And I guess you really wouldn't understand
What it's like to be me
In this fucked up world
With a fucked-up past
Don't want to feel anything again

Your pain is mine
Where the fuck do you think it came from

Where does the sadness come from
When does the sadness go away
When does it go

What I'd do to never lose you
Oh it's such a scary thought
From such a scary place
Oh what I wouldn't do
Oh what I wouldn't do
Anything could be true

Where does the sadness come from
When does the sadness go away


10. SPLINTER

It's the straw that breaks the back
It's the hammer to the nail
Oh I would find a way
But it's the little things that kill

The last splinter in my fucking skin
Reminder of my sins

This space is empty
Not an ounce of love
To be found here
Or anywhere else
A sick facade in my eyes
I'm in disbelief
You should feel ashamed

This space is empty
Not an ounce of love
To be found here
Or anywhere else
A sick facade in my eyes
I'm in disbelief
You should feel ashamed

The last splinter in my fucking skin
Reminder of my sins

Everyone lets me down
Every day it's on repeat
The last splinter in my fucking skin
Everyone lets me down
Every day it's on repeat
Every day it's on repeat

So pick a fucking side

The last splinter in my fucking skin
The last thing I feel when it fucking ends
The last splinter in my fucking skin
And it's the very last thing
That I feel when it fucking ends


11. THE LOVE MACHINE

I know that I abuse you
But you chase my fear
I would crawl if I had to
Whatever it takes I suppose

Is it real or is it superficial
If it's from the love machine
I won't waste any more of your time
With words I don't know if I feel

Self aware, self absorbed
I'm shedding my skin
For better or for worse

No I don't want to be like them
With a cross on my back
Manufacture my appreciation
Or should I buy it from a bag

I look away
Oh I just can't keep my eyes
From falling out of my head

Pink fuzzy love

Is it you or is it me

21st century man

Self aware, self absorbed
I'm stuck in my skin
Oh what a simple curse


12. (SAVE ROOM)

[Instrumental]


13. DEATHSONG

I don't want to watch this die
I don't want to watch it waste away
Again you lie
And I bet you thought I wouldn't catch you

I've got you right inside my grasp
Just fucking try to escape
I've got you right inside my grasp
And I eat your fucking hate

This fear grips
But when it looks right at me
Oh it spells out your name
And that has to count for something
Unless there's nothing left to gain

Oh you're choking on an empty stomach
Force fed

I hear my death song
It's the sweetest sound
Can you hear it
Can you feel it


14. (UNTITLED)

[Instrumental]


15. MAZE

In my 25 years
You could say I've learned a lot
Of how not to be
In this fucked up world

What do you see in this for you

It's a maze
It's a challenge

What do you see in this for you
What do you see in this for me

And I'd say it again
But you don't even listen

Almost 25 years
And you haven't learned enough

Time waits for no one
