Surrounded by these four walls My bed of thorns, you made me sleep in it Tied down, I'm alone with these thoughts Ceilings caving in with all the demons I've fought These thorns, they tear at my side Keeping me awake as I swing through the night Tryin' to slip away, slip away from the truth Can't run forever, get what's coming to you Teeth rotting right out of my head Fingertips are bleeding from making my bed Hiding deep within to avoid the pain, splitting at the seams from this muffled rage Too many thorns sticking into my back, walking on eggshells under constant attack Can't fucking sleep with this thorn in my side Can't fucking think with these thoughts on my mind

Drowning Dry 02:37
Throat is slit from ear to ear, tongue is fucking tied Stuck inside this fucking town, no will to survive Waking up is hard as hell when you're drowning in your pillow Waking up is hard as hell, don't want to go outside Like a corpse, I sit and stare Brittle bones, I'm always cold No taste, no touch, just dirty looks burnt into my skull My skin is cracked, I'm bleeding through I can't escape the failure Righteousness does not exist, feed me to the wolves Like a corpse, I sit and stare Brittle bones, I'm always cold If this is growing up, please kill me now This fucking town has sucked me dry

Sink in back to the bottom Back to back to satisfy your needs Because our side is worlds apart From the vices that own you and the chains that bind your soul Thinking about the things in my life, take another look from the other side Makes me fucking ill but I stand alone 'Cause I don't belong, don't want to belong What the fuck do you know about solitude? You don't know shit, only how to lose Listen motherfucker, this is your last free ride Sink in, work from the bottom Blinded by the struggle and content when you go under And you'll never see the world through our eyes, not a single crutch to hold Seeing red because you put me there Pitch me a lie, tell me life isn't fair Caught up in nothing ain't getting you nothing So end this charade before your dreams fully fade Beat by your judgement, dead where I stand Ripped out your heart to hold in my hand Take another look from the other side, take another look through these eyes Take another look from the other side, take another look through my dead old eyes Thinking about the things in my life, take another look from the other fucking side

Rain comes down and I'm under again Looking for reflection, feeling nothing but dead Looking for something to call my own Looking for the answers when they're so hard to find Leave me alone to die in my head, a nail in the coffin for every word you never said Rain comes down, eroding my skull Surrounded by family but I feel so alone Feeling this feeling like a beast in my cage Seeing no end with my eyes filled with rage Seeing no end, what has my life become? Seeing no end, just hang your head A life that's spent slowly working backwards A brain that's set to my own downfall Seeing, searching, feeling but with no result Crawl into the corner just to hang my head Dead man stare into my eyes but you see no life Scratching at the surface but at the bottom of the barrel Dead mans stare 'cause I see no end Crawl into the corner just to hang my head Down on the ground with my face to the floor I broke my fucking jaw so I won't bother.. You, I cannot stand, I cannot take Done digging holes, I'm done feeling safe Choking on my blood, beginning to taste, feeling this feeling like a beast in his cage Rain comes down and I'm under again, searching for the light as the thunder begins Rain comes down, eroding my skull Surrounded by family but I feel so alone in my head, I'll die here alone Surrounded by the things that I fear the most Alone in this fight, but still I fight Alone in my head, the rain, it never stops Choking on my blood I feel so alone

Path's may cross but that's where it ends We're worlds apart, not foes nor friends I'll tear out your cords, I'll cut out your tongue A blank fucking stare, I'll grind your teeth I'll nail your jaw to the floor, just swallow your tongue What was said, it's done Walking backwards with the things you say Here's some rope, please feel free Running your jaw, coming loose at the hinge Cords will snap from the weight of the lies Smell the fucking truth, see it right in your eyes Running your jaw and I'll nail it to the fucking floor

Face to face, feelin' shot in the face Trying to erase the taste you left inside my.. Mouth to mouth, trying to revive myself That heart of stone you buried in my chest Ice cold witch, I cannot stand your shit I cannot sleep at night, only dreaming of your.. Face to face, feelin' shot in the face Trying to erase the taste you left inside my mouth These haunted streets I walk at night Can't stay inside and think about.. Your eyes are burnt into my mind I'd break my bones to stand beside.. Dig myself a deeper hole, crawl inside to kill the cold That heart of stone, it never bleeds Just slit my throat so I can sleep Still no love for the weak Nothing that's left in me Caught in the cycle again

Serpent 04:05
Weak at the knees and I can't breath No longer strong enough and I can't proceed Built by your love, destroyed by your hate I'd sacrifice myself to destroy the snake Destroy Serpent Face to mask, dressed in cloak Turn my back on the fake Head of lies, hollow threats Step with a knife in my back Lying in a bed that you did not make You dirty fucking serpent, you fucking snake You spineless fuck, you got no gut Your throat is mine, you have no.. Spineless motherfucker, better slither away Not hearing nothing that you're trying to say Enough is enough you spineless fuck Enough is enough, your throat is mine Snake in the grass but I can see The serpent that slithers in between You would ruin my life if I gave you the chance So I'm taking out your throat This is my last breath I can take Face to mask, this ain't no hollow threat Not feeling regret from the threat I sent I'll take your breath, rip it out of your throat You're way too close to the things that I hold Come into my life and I will rip you apart Never take away the things I hold in my heart
