This road |
[Verse 1]
Wreck of a human mind blurring the line
Between what is real, what's fiction and what I feel
Night after night, sin after sin
Year after year I donât know where I've been
Different day with the same old refrain
And it's starting to blare all over again
[Verse 2]
Bloodshot, black and blue
Eyes empty through and through
Faceless, dreary soul
Like a bottomless black hole
Your future is bleak, my past is unknown
Donât leave me behind, just leave me alone
Nowhere to be found, forever lost
Making a break for it at any cost
[Chorus]
This road's gonna kill me
So put me down, distill me
End of the line, the end of me, oh yeah
This road is goin' down
And around until I drown
This road's gonna kill me, oh yeah
[Bridge]
You start at bulletproof
And ten feet tall
With anger through the roof
Still feeling so small
[Chorus]
This road's gonna kill me
So put me down, distill me
End of the line, the end of me, oh yeah
This road is goin' down
And around until I drown
This road's gonna kill me, oh yeah

Under grass and clover |
[Verse 1]
Flashback from the night before
Was it the other day? I couldn't say
It's all coming in pieces
But before you know they just fade away
God damn! What did I hear, what'd I do?
Where did I go and how'd I get here?
I know I'm too far gone
A deadbeat, a travesty
So what's my next strategy?
[Verse 2]
Fuck me, there's blood on my hands
That's nothing new but now they're shaking too
Everything's soaked in sweat
Here comes the "forgive and forget"
Who should I forgive? Forget that plan
I really don't give a damn
I just need my fix, I'm dying
So break out the bottle and stop crying
[Chorus]
And the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears
[Bridge]
Choking
Breathing exhaust
Hard to keep an even keel
Shot
Boiling mercury
It burns so bad yet I can't feel
[Bridge]
Choking
Breathing exhaust
Hard to keep an even keel
Shot
Boiling mercury
It burns so bad yet I can't feel
Walking
In a minefield
Hard to keep my eyes peeled
Shot
To Hell and fried
No Heaven evermore denied
[Chorus]
And the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears

Glass houses |
Keep your enemies closer, they say
But I prefer mine dead and miles away
Wanna save the world now and right away?
Tomorrow would be better 'cause there wasnât one today
[Chorus]
The absence of your mind
Preaching, judging
Is hard for you to fake
Reactions of your kind
Cringing, whinging
Is too much for me to take
[Verse 2]
Ignorance is a bliss
That might be but not when you throw
Stones in a house made of glass
With your halo buried far up your ass
[Verse 3]
If a pen is mightier than a sword
I wish you luck sincerely in your world
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Is a crock of shit, I'm sick of it
Sick of you, fuck you too
[Bridge]
Distress and nothing less you breed
Confess and youâre blessed
Set free from your sin, ain't that something?
Absolution leaves me nothing
[Chorus]
The absence of your mind
Preaching, judging
Is hard for you to fake
Reactions of your kind
Cringing, whinging
Is too much for me to take
The absence of your mind
Preaching, judging
Is hard for you to fake
Reactions of your kind
Cringing, whinging
Is too much for me to take

Hecate's nightmare |
[Verse 1]
We never meant to let you down
But it all just goes to show
We keep on dancing though we know
It's the same old song of woe
Two torches light up the way
As they beckon from below
To the groves of willows where
The seeds of hate we sow
[Refrain]
Lost souls hover over the crossroads
Crying out your name
[Verse 2]
If the desire is do or die
When all else has failed
Calling upon you is a game
Never lost or never prevailed
[Refrain]
Lost souls hover over the crossroads
At rise of the new moon
When the gates slowly open wide
The hinges creak their tune
[Chorus]
We're like Hecate's nightmare
Three shots from you and none to spare
[Post-Chorus]
Should've been more watchful
Calling out your name in vain
We never saw your pain
Hecate's nightmare
Unaware of the damage beyond repair
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We're like Hecate's nightmare
Three shots from you and none to spare
[Post-Chorus]
Nightmare - unaware
Of the damage beyond repair
[Bridge]
Gates close in the light of the moon
And the hinges creak their tune
We have become...
[Chorus]
Hecate's nightmare - unaware
Of the damage beyond repair
Hecate's nightmare
Three shots from you and none to spare
Nightmare - unaware
Of the damage beyond repair
[Post-Chorus]
Should've been more watchful
Calling out your name in vain
We never saw your pain
Hecate's nightmare - unaware
Of the damage beyond repair

Kick in the spleen |
[Verse 1]
You're whining bitching all day long
You don't connect you don't belong
When you wanna 'fess up and you wanna come clean
It's like taking a kick in the spleen
[Refrain]
Could you dial back just a notch? I'm askingâ¦
Will you? Won't you? Do you? Don't you?
With the insecurities that you're masking
Not that I would do, but could you?
[Verse 2]
You wear things out like the air we breathe
You care about things like what's underneath
You rant about shit and nobody cares
Take a tumble down in a flight of stairs
[Refrain]
Could you dial back just a notch? I'm askingâ¦
Will you? Won't you? Do you? Don't you?
With the insecurities that you're masking
Not that I would do, but could you?
[Chorus]
Your sob stories are the oldest ones in the book
Will you? Won't you? Do you? Don't you?
That's what we call a storm in a tea cup
Not that I would do, but could you?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain]
So could you dial back a notch? I'm asking...
Will you? Won't you? Do you? Don't you?
With the insecurities that you're masking
Not that I would do, but could you?
[Chorus]
Your sob stories are the oldest ones in the book
Will you? Won't you? Do you? Don't you?
That's what we call a storm in a tea cup
Not that I would do, but could you?

Platitudes and barren words |
[Verse 1]
I'm broken, youâre bent
I laugh while you repent
Threw punches never left a dent
Kick and scream you can feed the flame
Put out the fire it's all the same
Just either clock out or stake your claim
[Chorus]
Come on, just lay it on the line
You're running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes âcause your words are wearin' thin
[Verse 2]
I rush you stall
Here we go you're on a roll
Driving me right up the wall
Emotions left ripped at the seams
The game is over or so it seems
But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines
[Chorus]
Come on, just lay it on the line
Cut me a break don't take your time
I'm up for laying down the swords
Just no more platitudes or barren words
[Post-Chorus]
I'm filled to the brim
Whatâs one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Come on, just lay it on the line
Youâre running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes 'cause your words are wearinâ thin
[Post-Chorus]
I'm filled to the brim
What's one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin?

Hexed |
[Verse 1]
Sometimes my pain is so damn elaborate
That I can taste the blood in my tears, trying to forget
They haunt me, taunt me
The dreams that are nothing but a cruel joke on me
I'll ride 'em out, yet I'm taut in actuality
[Chorus]
Hexed
Turned into a casualty
Hexed
A blessing or a travesty?
[Post-Chorus]
Kill me once, who's to blame?
Kill me twice, I'm yours to claim
Curse me once, shame on you
Hex me twice, shame on me
[Verse 2]
If spirits could be visible, not just a fallacy
Your hex would be tangible but in reality
They haunt me, taunt me
Am I just a victim of my insanity?
A final chapter in a tale that ends in tragedy?
[Chorus]
Hexed
Turned into a casualty
Hexed
A blessing or a travesty?
Hexed
Demon's within
Hexed
Crawling under my skin
[Post-Chorus]
Kill me once, who's to blame?
Kill me twice, I'm yours to claim
Curse me once, shame on you
Hex me twice, shame on me
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Hexed
Turned into a casualty
Hexed
A blessing or a travesty?
Hexed
Demon's within
Hexed
Crawling under my skin
[Outro]
Hexed
Hexed
Hexed
Hexed
Hexed
Hexed

Relapse (the nature of my crime) |
[Verse 1]
Say you're hurting, but that's not where you're at
But then again who am I to say a word about that?
Come again? Did you wanna ask something?
Amen, I'm ready for judging
Forget I even said anything
Better yet turn around and start walking
So I sleep on it till next morning
Recurring dream so far from close
This nightmare is not my first warning
So on and on it goes
[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
[Verse 2]
I remember sitting through this strife
I didn't just meet you, I've known you my whole life
You tell me to grab a knife or a bottle
Watch your life travel by at full throttle
I'm done rackin' out my fried brain
Just go away, you're nothing new, you're all the same
[Refrain]
You knew my story, turn a page and read the signs
They speak of relapse between selected lines
[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
[Outro]
The thought of turning back sends shivers down my spine
Your delusions sure as hell were never mine
You knew my story from the get-go, read the signs
They scream of relapse between selected lines
|

Say never look back |
[Verse 1]
Struggling to stay awake
Don't wanna take my chances (Wake up)
Tossing and turning
How am I supposed to block these voices?
Drifting off to sleep
Count sheep, youâre now in deep
Whimper though you wanna shout
No use, he's in, you're out
[Chorus]
One, two, three, youâre now in a dream
Never look back, never look 'cause you're gonna crack
Five, six, seven, see the flood lights beam
Down on you as you wanna scream
Eight, nine, ten, here we go again
You can lie down, you can lie but you're gonna drown
End of the games, your number is up for now
[Verse 2]
Wake up! Who said that?
Am I awake? My eyes are shut
Weary once again
But was I out? What the hell was that all about?
Where did all these scars come from?
Still warm, blood on the sheets
But was all real? I just don't wanna feel
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
One, two, three, you're now in a dream
Never look back, never look 'cause you're gonna crack
Five, six, seven, see the flood lights beam
Down on you as you wanna scream
Eight, nine, ten, here we go again
You can lie down, you can lie but youâre gonna drown
End of the games, your number is up for now
One, two, three, youâre now in a dream
Never look back, never look 'cause youâre gonna crack
Five, six, seven, see the flood lights beam
Down on you as you wanna scream

Soon departed |
[Verse 1]
When your hands have been tied
From front, back and from side to side
It's hard to see the shape of things to come
And the past becomes undone
No stars aligned to lead the blind
When your future is already declined
[Pre-Chorus]
Lying, discarded
Dying, soon departed
[Chorus]
Another morning, itâs hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls, cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends
You keep throwing away
[Verse 2]
If that is the life you choose
No circumstance can excuse
Why you run when you've passed
A dead end sign at long last
The days are numbered you swear
So you can start the countdown for all I care
Keep on telling yourself there's nothing left to do
Your storyâs weak and so are you
[Pre-Chorus]
Lying, discarded
Dying, soon departed
[Chorus]
Another morning, it's hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls, cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends
You keep throwing away
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Another morning, it's hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls, cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends
You keep throwing away

Knuckleduster |
[Verse 1]
Walls are closing in on me
Hear the clock ticking
But time is standing still for me
Used, or did you say abused?
Makes no difference to me
Can we agree to disagree?
[Verse 2]
I would rather tune out
Than open up my mind
To be placed in your little faction
No, pick another time
Choose another day
And a place if itâs another interaction
[Pre-Chorus]
Roughed up, rundown
Gave in to giving up
You can take it out on me
'Cause I donât give a fuck
[Chorus]
Hey! Did I ever ask you
To step on my toes?
Face the knuckleduster
And youâll end up six feet under
Thou shalt not kill is what they say
But I swear weâll see the day
To bring you down
And you will end up six feet under
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Roughed up, rundown
Gave in to giving up
You can take it out on me
'Cause I donât give a fuck
[Chorus]
Hey! Did I ever ask you
To step on my toes?
Face the knuckleduster
And youâll end up six feet under
Thou shalt not kill is what they say
But I swear weâll see the day
To bring you down
And you will end up six feet under

I worship chaos |
[Spoken Intro]
I worship chaos!
[Verse 1]
No peace of mind from quietude
Haunting nightmares follow through
The panic that lingers in my eye
Till I rip shit up, make angels cry
Contort the silence, sighing faintly
My dark twisted secrets gravely
[Verse 2]
Every night's the same, the world is sleeping
Yet my demons keep on creepin'
Through the cracks of my shattered mind
So I stir up the chaos one more time
Mayhem, wrath I call thee mine
And both the sun and moon will shine
[Chorus]
End of times, just kill the quietude
Hear my cries, and start the countdown
Bury my crimes, somewhere deep within
It's not that complicated
Simply I just worship chaos
[Verse 3]
Turmoil, terror I now conjure
The hell in my head, please do conquer
So I throw down, kicking and screaming
Lie flat on the ground, discarded and bleeding
But the noise is gone right now
I stir up the chaos one more time
[Chorus]
End of times, just kill the quietude
Hear my cries, and start the countdown
Bury my crimes, somewhere deep within
It's not that complicated
Simply I just worship chaos
[Spoken Outro]
Fuckin' A

Morrigan |
[Verse 1]
Holding the key to my darkened past
Sheâs spinning with voices lost in past
The memory too disturbed
Sheâs a story that'll never end
Youâre a two studded chain, a tear in my soul
She'll fly away with me when all said and done
But now sheâs gone
[Chorus]
I donât believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade that Iâll find you once again
Morrigan
[Verse 2]
Sheâs the coming of my demise
In every way, seen her alluring disguise
A six-foot tall bloody, jet-black scythe
Is all thatâs with me with the things Iâve done
Because sheâs gone
[Chorus]
I donât believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade that Iâll find you once again
Morrigan!
[Spoken]
Put your motherfucking hands in the air
[Bridge]
I ain't gonna leave from the post, so stay
On the way, get away from the twilight's scream
I refuse to let this cut me deep
I refuse to let this cut me deep
[Chorus]
I donât believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade that I'll find you once again
Morrigan!
Yeah!

[?] these questions
Don't you, no more confessions
It was [?]
It was [?] that helped you [?]
I just [?]
