BLED SO DRY 02:27
We keep moving And a we keep talking And a we keep seeking And a we keep fighting You are a parasite Leeching off me Taking from me I don't like it for a second Not for a second Not for a second Not for a second Keep your hands off of me Put your eyes to the ground Stay away from where I am Cut your tongue outta your mouth We keep moving And a we keep talking And a we keep seeking And a we keep fighting You've adjusted yourself like a wolf in sheep’s clothes You cling to ideas for fragments of social capital You pretend to be a friend when there's something to gain You're a wound in an injury now bled dry You're a book of lies written of lie after lie after lie after lie Bled so dry Wandering so far away You say too much You speak so loud Wandering so far away The words just fall The words just fall out Cut your tongue Cut it

DRAGGING ON 02:01
Breaking my back to see what you see All the pavement cracked, you did this to me Walkin' and a walkin' and walkin' too long Runnin' and you're runnin' and you're runnin' along I cant say Where I should be Every step ahead Is two steps I dread Like boots on the-ground Stomping around The world starts a-shaking I'm falling far down Pull me from my knees by a leather leash All the dirt tracks, you make me believe Movin' yeah we're movin' yeah we're movin' all wrong Dragging and a dragging and a dragging it on Hands on the ground I'm just trying to breathe One more time and I think I should leave Warpin' and warpin' and warpin' your speech Lying and a lying and a lying to me I don't know about this anymore Every window shuts and there goes the doors I cant get myself from the floor All you really want is more and more All you really want is more and more and more and more and

NAILBITER 01:28
Naysayer say no again Let em speak you plead and plead But its killing you And its killing me It's all I see It’s killing me Nailbiter, nailbiter, nailbite Nailbite Naysayer say no again Let em speak you plead and plead But its killing you And its killing me It's all I see It’s killing me Nailbiter, nailbiter, nailbite Nailbite Nailbiter, nailbiter

OUT OF TIME 01:53
I’m trying and I’m trying And I’m looking for another line I try and so hard I try Yet I haven't got the time In the mirror I see An older version of me My hairs a mess My bones don't get rest My skin thins out from all the stress You wish to be what you wish to be But wishing is just one of the steps What happens when it doesn't work What more can you expect? Convinced that you're weak That you've seen better days That you'll turn the other cheek That it won't ever go away Breaking Breaking Breaking Breaking
5.
And the sails takes me down through the setting sea It moves me away to where I cannot stay But it is a relief A staunch difference in its reprieve For a moment or two I can breathe And where I've gone I cannot see No matter where the time has gone They're always short, they’re never long I wish I could just keep away To where I cannot say But even if it's just a means to an end I can at least breathe again I can at last breathe again

COLD WAR 02:14
You are wasting all of our time Working so hard on line after line You fucking do this every single time Now thinking yourself something divine Looking for more Looking for more in a cold war You're looking for more Embracing a type you wanna be No recourse, no sincerity Lie to your friends so you can pick and choose Making it up so you don't have to lose Looking for more Looking for more in a cold war You're looking for more You eat and eat and eat away Take and take and take away It's not different because it’s you You are the issue You are the problem You eat and take and Say you're all better But you are like the rest Like the liars Like the billers Like the proud Like the red Like the bones of all men

Won't tally the days that I've lost on you It'll only prove that I've been so used Don't remind me about the past or the future You've made it clear that this lasts forever And ever and ever Torn between What I want and what I need Struggling to be Seen the way I see Compartments in my head To store all the trouble Trying and trying Not to burst my bubble Defeated, reprimanded I'm made an example Stuck in the push Stuck in the pull Hook me to the wall Cause I'm going nowhere Take out the blades Make me bleed and stare And it's no help Its nothing from you It's no help Its nothing from you It's no help You're pulling me down Holding my neck Just to drown and drown Head underwater Gasping for air Reaching for more But I'm never there Taking out every single little thing I struggle to see What I'm supposed to see You're in my head That's what you've said Cant shake it Won't make it Let me rest in my bed I've been washed out Bleached and left aside You ruin everything That makes me feel alive But you're all I have You make me need You strike at my legs Bring me down to my knees And it's no help Its nothing from you It's no help Its nothing from you It's no help You're pulling me down Holding my neck Just to drown and drown Head underwater Gasping for air Reaching for more But I'm never there Crawling for my breath But you wont let me have it Crawling for my breath But you wont let me have it Crawling for my breath But you wont let me have it Crawling for my breath But you wont let me have it And it's no help Its nothing from you And it's no help Its nothing from you And it's no help Its nothing from you And it's no help Its nothing from you From you

Maybe I'm a curse Happy with me for a second But it doesn't last And you're not the first Everyone everywhere Shines so brightly When I'm around When y'all around Spend a night away And it's like a broken spell All of a sudden I've been wrong And honestly I am not doing very well Everyone's unreliable But I'm no better I'm not better Happy with me for a second But its just a second Just one second Can't be me I can't be me All these thoughts in my head They all want me dead So I repress I push away I'm failing to get better Every day You've gotta change You say to me I've gotta change I'm no good the way I am There's something to change I better change Maybe I'm a curse Happy with me for a second But it doesn't last And you're not the first Everyone everywhere Shines so brightly It's getting to me It's getting me
9.
I don't know where I've been No, I do not know where to go It's all drifting away Once in my life but now you're out the door I go see a doctor I look up a shrink But each step does falter Don't quite know what to think Guess now I'm gonna sink Yeah I'm gonna sink Yeah I'm gonna sink Yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna sink This house is so empty now But all the memories still remain Every car I hear from the window Gives me a little hope that you're back again Minutes turn to hours The shadows become fear I am my own worst enemy for all of the last 10 years I poisoned the well and brought in the sick Sweat and cough until my eyes go black Got no power to crawl out from this shit But I'm just so tired I want it all back back BACK

JAGGED TEETH 01:58
Daggers break thread And we are everything and naked again The swill of swine and tax or tithe Lay down a seldom sermon Dethroned from your perch of greatness Mad kings shall swear to the same fate Destiny, the seer bellows From the caves over yonder The echoes sew themselves into your dreams And temptation becomes fleeting As the birds chirping dribbles into droning Only a cleansed palette can allow you a taste But your mouth so full of dirt and grime Can never lick through the layers of slime You've got spiders drooling from your lips Snakes around your throat like a noose Your hands blister from this dry heat Skin cracking from every blow you treat Back hunkered over Wind blows away your cover You suck away at water skins full of mead Regret every moment you've squandered on greed My friend, I say to you My friend will you come back to me? No, you speak through jagged teeth This is the storm before the calm One day my life will change And I wont need your help anymore
