Black Donnelly 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Cold Cold winters night A mob walks through the door They've come to take away The lives of Donnelly All hell broke loose Beaten down with clubs One man attempts an escape Brought back to open his head Black Black Black Black Black Black Donnelly Coal oil spread throughout The house would have to burn Young boy would get away He lived to tell the truth Through O'Connors eyes And everything he heard The agonizing screams The blood that had been spilled Black Black Black Black Black Black Donnelly February 4th, 5 family members slain 1880 murder carved in stone Their troubled lives met a brutal end. William was left to bury everything lost.

Burn and bleed for the world but only I can bleed so long Don't believe what I said I'm not the only one that's wrong One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one When I speak I won't lie I swear to you I will be heard In the end you will see I'm screaming you my final word One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one This is me this is me I have reached my final page In this mind no more fear nothing in me but this rage One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one One stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one stand alone you're just one One One One One One One

Lower Myself 01:48
lyrics
buy track
Tell me I'm not worth the time or energy Just once lower myself so that you can see You must think you're so perfect everyday Fuck you and all the things you have to say Lower myself so we can see eye to eye Lower myself but why do I even try Lower myself to expose a lesser man Lower myself so you can understand This is a place where you never can win I'll tear you down again and again Doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong This is a place where you just don't belong

A Better Place 02:57
lyrics
buy track
Hateful smile runs across my face Every thought I just can't erase Emptiness I'm so dead inside Emptiness I'm now open wide Close my eyes and just bite my tongue Through these eyes you're falling one by one What you say won't be left unheard You will pay for each and every word This world would be a better place if you were gone without a trace This world would be a better place gone for good without a trace A better place A better place A better place The world would be a better place Anger rage two emotions blend Understand this is where you end Look straight up and know it's me I'm the last thing that you'll ever see

The More I Realize 02:47
lyrics
buy track
In the dark I am who I decide Give me a chance to show that I'm alive It won't be long before I come undone I'm not alone I'm taking everyone Don't bother looking for answers Confront the ones who have left you for dead Stand your ground just a little bit faster Confront the ones you can't get out of your head I come for you I'm coming to collect But not for reasons that you'd expect The grass is greener on the other side In the dark I am who I decide Don't bother looking for answers Confront the ones who have left you for dead Stand your ground just a little bit faster Confront the ones you can't get out of your head I'll never turn the other cheek That's something that I tried The more you come around the more I realize The harder that I try the more you criticize I'll never turn the other cheek That's something that I tried The more you come around the more I realize The harder that I try the more you criticize

Standard Lie 03:46
lyrics

All in time I will heal from pain Can't get free just to feel again I'm not me not who I use to be I'm not me not who I use to be Everything in my eyes every word this is the standard lie Believe me and trust me this is the standard lie I'm OK I'll be just fine this is the standard lie Everything in my eyes every word this is the standard lie Tried so hard to turn the other cheek Stood my ground until my knees grew weak When I cry I'm growing hard inside It's cut and dry this is the standard lie Everything in my eyes every word this is the standard lie Believe me and trust me this is the standard lie I'm OK I'll be just fine this is the standard lie Everything in my eyes every word this is the standard lie Crossing your heart hoping to die Made me believe all of the standard lies Facing the truth closing my eyes Fall to my knees believe the standard lies Trust in myself stare at the sky Repeat all the words this is the standard lie All that I know, all you deny Tell me I'm wrong continue the standard lie Standard lie

On The Surface 02:57
lyrics

Speak the words that make me turn inside Fail to think keeps me open wide Spineless tongue and the web of lies Turned you from the spider to the fly Growing, growing, growing on the surface Ignorance the voice that screams out loud Fuck them all there's one in every crowd Finish last without a friend Race won't start but this is where you end Growing, growing, growing on the surface Never again never again am I crawling Never again never again crawling crawling Surface Single out the hour Separate the anger Single out the power Never again never again am I crawling Never again never again crawling crawling Surface Single out the hour Separate the anger Single out the power Growing, growing, growing on the surface

The World Owes You Nothing 02:34
lyrics
buy track
Leave me alone, I'll figure this out for myself I am alone back where hatred once roamed Open hand, curls into a fist Understand, there's no more of this The world owes you nothing Your ego bled, a cut so deep it won't heal Ask me again, the reason is you as you fade Open hand, curls into a fist Understand, there's no more of this Enough is enough, the look of weakness in your eyes Nothing is free and you paid for all the mistakes that you made Standing your ground falling down your words were spoke but never made a sound Again and again and again you struck a nerve in each and every friend The world owes you nothing

No morals no taste wrong is still wrong I've waited and waited for too fucking long Is that all you got? So fucking what Is that all you got? Can't wait anymore jump in for the fight This hate is still in me night after night Is that all you got? So fucking what Is that all you got? So sick of this shit you keep spreading around The best fucking stuff is found underground Is that all you got? So fucking what Is that all you got?

Another Enemy 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Just a shadow growing up the end of innocence The glamour life of popping pills the end of making sense An empty heart so full of hate too broken to repair Emotions that has grown to stone the less and less you care Stuck inside a dead end life you are a growing stain When it gets too real to feel you have to numb the pain It's only you and you alone that's caused this misery Another night another fight another enemy Enemy Enemy Enemy another enemy Enemy Enemy Enemy another enemy Stuck inside a dead end life you are a growing stain When it gets too real to feel you have to numb the pain It's only you and you alone that's caused this misery Another night another fight another enemy Another night another fight another enemy Another night another fight another enemy Another night another fight another enemy Another night another fight another enemy
