1. THE NEW DAMNATION

[Intro: The Devil's Advocate sample]
John Milton: Yeah! Step on up son! Come on that's good! You got to hold on to that fury. Yeah, that's the last thing to go, that's the final hiding place, the final fig leaf
Kevin Lomax: Who are you?
John Milton: Oh, I have so many names
Kevin Lomax: Satan?
John Milton: Call me dad!

Damnation
What does the world have against me?
Yeah

On and on, again and again anxiety circles me
What am I to do?
Plagued by a never-ending cycle
What's the point of defying when you always fall in line?
What’s the purpose of trying with the clock up against me?

On and on, again and again
I'm bathed in another sin
Getting tired of anger
Go line for line every time I try
And my mistakes have made me
Is there a legacy left to lead?
What will I tell my sons of the life I lived?
When they ask of me

Every night's a new struggle, every day is the same
It's the bitch of living, or maybe just a game
Every week's another burden, another year full of shame
The real bitch of living is knowing life will never change

I'll never quite get the message
The new damnation

I'll never quite get the message, lord let me be
You'll never quite get the message, lord let me be

[Outro: The Devil's Advocate sample]
John Milton: Maybe it was your time to lose. You didn't think so
Kevin Lomax: Lose? I don't lose! I win! I win! I'm a lawyer, that's my job, that's what I do!
John Milton: I rest my case


2. GOD TALK (FT. CHAD RUHLIG OF FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS)

Another day in shame, another mark on my conscience
Why do my days stay dark?
Empty shell
When all of my patience still isn't enough
Well who will want me then?
I kill your ghost again
I kill what's left of you in me, or what's left at all

In all of my anger I swore I did enough
But even I don't believe that
But I still had faith
Between you & me in confidence
I don't blame you at all
I played and I lost
Between you & me in confidence
It'll never get through to you

It's like I’m beating a dead horse
Yeah

Slowly down to hell we rot
I guess I get what I truly deserve
Slowly down to hell we rot
I guess I got what I truly deserved


3. ANYTHING TO NUMB

I'd find a new purpose if there was one for me, but I can't leave my feelings when the city sleeps.
In darkness, in vain, to the very last hour you will know my pain is real.

Anything to numb, anything to keep spitting ignorance.
Anything to numb, anything to kill this grief.
Anything to numb, anything to kill.
Anything to kill your ghost.
Insufficient reactions.

Free myself from the every day and death awaits my touch.
Motherfucker!

Anything to numb, anything to keep spitting ignorance.
Anything to numb, anything to kill this grief.
Anything to numb, anything to kill.
Anything to kill your ghost.


4. E.D.A.

You learn a lot about darkness staring at the sun
You learn a lot about company when the love is gone
I don't see the power, I just hear the call to greatness
But you wouldn't understand, looking at me from the outside

This anger, it lives inside of me
You can feel it when I speak truth and even when my teeth show
No taste when it comes to acceptance, and no remorse for the ones that leave
You learn a lot about life when your friends start dying
You learn a lot about trust when you're left so lonely
Again, to no surprise
And I hate that I can see you when I look in my eyes
Alone again

Well who'd have guessed you'd do me so dirty?
Well god damn, am I really so selfish?
Am I so naive that I can't see my faults
But I would point out every one of yours

Everyone dies alone, you and everyone you know
Everyone dies alone, you and everyone you know


5. COLDER BROTHER

So cold, so very distant
Where does all the time go?
It's such a shame that I could walk right past you and not know the difference
How could you expect a title when you live underground?
How could you be so cavalier when this house is so cold?

I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back
Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose
Run to your place of hiding but you can't escape the guilt
Wake up and wish to start again, but what does that mean to me?
Nothing

I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back
Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose
I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back
Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose

My life to lead and my soul to keep
How do I save your name from dishonor?
No more dishonor
Shame on you
Yeah


6. PAIN AGAIN

Why always me who has to put you in your place?
I'll never forget what you put me through and all those selfish nights
Only dogs get put down; the bitch of living
Too cruel to be left alive

I'm just trying to be what you want me to be, and it never ends
And it's pain again
Mark this day as the last I feel this way, for the comfort
The repetition is my vice, my poison
Only dogs get put down; the bitch of living
Too cruel to be left alive

I'm just trying to be what you want me to be, and it never ends
And it's pain again
Pain again
I always seem to find you again

Cut-throats are made of us
No time to waste
Actors, liars, and fakes
It's too dangerous for me to leave you alive
You're a hazard, stifle yourself and all of your surroundings
You need to be put down
Put down

Trust is a motherfucker

Selfish and angry is how you left me, I’ve become so rotten
Pain again


7. ABACUS

If these walls could talk
And these lights go any lower
Would you have the power to lay it all on the line
Leave it all on the floor and go break a leg?
There must be something in those subtleties
There's something darker in your mind
There's something built inside to pacify
There must be darker things at play

If these letters could talk to you
And my temper get much shorter
Would I have to power to lay it all on the line
Leave it all on the floor and go break a leg?

There's something special in your mindset that sets you apart
There's something colorful inside
You speak of peace & the future like you've been there before
Why would you act so cold?

There must be something in those subtleties
There's something darker in your mind
There's something built inside to pacify
There must be darker things at play

Where do you stand?
Right before me you left me alone again
Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?


8. EMPIRE OF DIRT (FT. BRYAN GARRIS OF KNOCKED LOOSE)

Empire of dirt

From all across the world I can see right through you
With my nose to the grindwheel
The only way I’ll ever make it
Dirt from my past
Clean up the mess with a new love
Now where would be dramatics in that?

My throne looks like no other
And my reign as the "king of fools"
Is solidified as the "king of rats"

No time to waste, misery take me
Misery
No time to waste

[Bryan Garris:]
Took from my past
I'll sweep you under the rug
And I hope you hurt from the pain you caused
You motherfucker

Empire of dirt
Empire of dirt
I hope you rot, motherfucker


9. DEADWEATHER II

I don't want to have to say it, but you've forced my hand
I don't want to be the one to walk the fence
Let my people go
Let them live and die for you

I don't want to have to say it, but you've forced my hand
I don't want to have to see this through to the very end
Opposing forces, push & pull
I don't care for this empty world
You picked your poison, take the glass
Let my people go

Let my people go
Let them live and die for you
Let them go

I don't want to have to say it, but you've forced my hand
I don't want to be the one to walk the fence
Opposing forces, push & pull
I don't care for this empty world
You picked your poison, take the glass
Let my people go

Let my people go
Let them live and die for you

I see you crawling on the inside
I see you scratching at the surface of the walls of your mind
I see you thinking, "what is left?”
I see you wonder where to go

Deadweather

Where will you go?


10. DELIVERANCE

Show me deliverance
Show me deliverance

Show me deliverance from these ways, make my words cut
Show me deliverance
Make them cut so deep you can feel it when you look at me
Show me deliverance

Running out on all of your problems but you really can't go far
And when there's no ink left, will you still feel barred?

Hand in hand, bound to another

Show me deliverance
Show me deliverance
Show me deliverance

Bound to another, hand in hand
Go 23 years with the same old plan
Will it get you far if you learn from me?
I hope I don't disappoint

Deliverance, yeah

Show me the root of evil so I can free myself
Show me deliverance
Show me deliverance from these ways, make my words cut
Show me deliverance
Make them cut so deep you can feel it when you look at me
Show me deliverance
Show me the other side where the lion is let to play

Deliverance
Deliverance


11. TO LAY IN SIN

As far as looking at the downsides
What the future holds I really can't say
And as far as feeling satisfied
I wouldn't know where to start

I accepted that I could leave
But where do you go in the end?
Do you rise to salvation or do you burn eternal?

I am not a victim, I just see through the fake
I am not a victim, I just could never relate

As far as looking at the upsides
What the future holds I really can't say
And as far as feeling satisfied
You wouldn't know where to start

I accepted that I could leave
But where do you go in the end?
Do you rise to salvation or do you burn eternal?
Yeah

I am not a victim, I just see through the fake
I am not a victim, I just could never relate

Lay in sin
Lay in sin
Lay in sin
Lay in sin
Lay in sin
Lay in sin
