Peeling the skin, I’m born a new You reached in because you wanted the truth The sting of the flame couldn’t keep me away Scourging my skin, rebooting my brain Abandoned but you’re still here I can hear them, wear the stain of their fear Nails scraping against the grain of the steel Bludgeoned Repressed Emotions Invest So many are dying to know how to be alive But the same people are to blame for the hell inside God’s not, choking you with your own pride Years pass, the trauma won’t subside Buried my dreams but my nightmares won’t say goodnight Forms of black surrounding me Haunted since the age of three The image burns internally I hear their screams they’ve watched me bleed And I thought by now I’d figure it out but it’s all been word of mouth consumed you’re all down and out When the fuck will you just come around? And now I’ve got you And now I’ve got you And now I’ve got you And now I’ve got you, by the throat

Threshold 02:52
Compelled through violence, I break the shackles Unable to relate, I disassociate because I don’t want the hassle Vengeance is sweet Despite what they say My hatred will bleed, it never got in my way Now I see your true colors, at the end of my blade The edge was smooth now it starts to serrate Now your skull breaks from the pressure of the stone Don't try to find me motherfucker, make sure you're not alone The dying light dwindles between the trees The dark of the night pulls me out of my sleep Only in my dreams will I ever be free You can’t change what you’ve always been Nothing you could say would make us make amends I did what I did and I’d do it again I found out the real you then I broke the skin Time could never ease the pain Time could never Time could never ease the pain Your skull broke from the pressure of the stone Don’t try to find me motherfucker, make sure you’re not alone

Get Out 03:07
We smell your apathy Distinct and prone to bleed Isn’t this, isn’t it? Cold blooded, nose running, it’s getting hard to digest Your problems I’ll solve them I’ve bled out everything I had left I’m still fighting to shield my friends from their choices And I’m hoping that she know she’s not voiceless It’s a game, we can’t beat It always takes a piece of me I smell your apathy Not so far off from me The needle skips a beat and cuts an artery I smell your apathy Not so far off from me The needle skips a beat and I can hardly breathe I smell your apathy Not so far off from me The needle skips a beat The needle skips a beat Get the fuck out

You ran your mouth and thought it wouldn’t catch back up to you You’re all bark, no bite you spew lies through your teeth like words alone can’t seal your fate be timid with every single move you make They says it’s the strong, but the smart survive It’s easy to see right through a facade Respect has to be earned Before you gain wisdom you have to learn A coward can’t look you in your eye That’s why they use a disguise to hide behind Deceiver Deceiver You were throwing stones from your glass house Then everything you loved came crashing down Not realizing that you were the root of all of your suffering

Transcended, pulled into the abyss Trapped in suspense societal standards against me Desperation, it’s me against the world Separating myself subconsciously Escapism immersing Poisoning my psyche Culminated manifestation Clouded judgement Restraining inner demons Maintaining some form of hope Obtaining true marks of valor Sustaining internal strength I lie awake and think about the stakes I contemplate how much more can I take At what point will I break? It’s a never ending cycle Traveling in a downward spiral It’s a never ending cycle I must stop living in denial How can I put trust in anyone else? If I can't even believe in myself? The hardest thing to do is to look into the mirror and realize all your problems come from who's staring back at you You can only see things clearer if you build off of your past View from a perspective that was different than your last
