I was... 02:16
there’s no coat that can keep me warm no gentle fire to stop myself from freezing all i ever wanted was to smother my blackened soul in the warmth of your laugh and i tried but you never got tired of turning away i would be even more ashamed of myself than you are if i could feel anything maybe it’s best for me to fade to crumble into ashes and rise i am winter i am cold

wash my face with gasoline hand me a smoke and i’ll be fine i know self pity is the new black but there’s no way of going back i am selfish and ignorant i am tired of myself i’m a match that once got lit and that’s slowly burning out wash my face with gasoline hand me a smoke and i’ll be fine i know self pity is the new black but there’s no way of going back my head is numb from all the smoke my face is dull from all the mess that revolves around myself but that i’m never involved in wash my face with gasoline hand me a smoke and i’ll be fine i know self pity is the new black but there’s no way of going back i’ve grown tired of everything

Hiding 03:10
i am a disembodied thought with nothing but hatred in my guts. but i don’t have the guts to let it out. i am a voiceless prophet, a blind navigator i am a picture of misery, hiding in another skin i wish i had the courage i wish i was able to see i wish i was more afraid of myself i wish i was able to feel i could steal all of your time telling you all my unfulfilling wishes i’m done with the worthless effort of trying to phrase myself to the world maybe i’ll find myself a new skin to hide myself in our society. so i won’t need the courage, i won’t need to see i can forget all of my feelings and lose what it means to be me

Jouska 01:41
fucking rich kids in cut up jeans brand new shirts and false pretense i am so goddamn sick of your sadness your tattoos and your shows i’m not saying that i’m better but my anger is for real go buy yourself a house, a dog and kill yourself at thirty three if you are the ocean then i will be the lightning but if what they say is true and punk truly is not dead just lying crippled on the floor i will ignore the cries for help and put a bullet to it’s head fuck your comfort, fuck your crew fuck your privilege and fuck you i won’t ever love your lifestyle but i hate mine too

these are desperate lines for desperate times another empty cry for help that will never be heard even if you’re listening right here, right now these lines will never get past your ears we are deaf to everything that tells the truth blind to everything that’s right we are all talking about great solutions with big words and empty promises everyone is living in their lonesome nutshell trying not to capsize at this heavy sea full of castaways swimming for their lives no one will be pulled on board we are all sentenced to die no one will be pulled on board we are all sentenced to drown man is not a wolf to man but man is death to all

Artax 03:35
these past few months my life has been nothing more but warm nights and cold fights that leave me stumbling through these quiet city streets covered by half empty beer cans and half full dreams and i know that when i make it home there is a ghost that welcomes me you said that you’re not scared of ghosts but i find it hard to make new friends i have been sleeping way too much still when i wake up i’m worn out so i drown myself in work and nicotine to keep myself from dying while awake there’s no good in this desperate form of self medication the thought of you still hurts my stomach it’s a disease that comes and goes my lungs burn and my mind is a mess

White Noise 03:15
it’s all just noise arranged in the right order we sing these songs with fervour and hope hoping that one day things will change but in the back of our minds we all know that our efforts are useless that our voices are sore i don’t know if all hope is lost but i know that change won’t come through the beat of the drums through the roar of the guitar a lovely melody to kill the pain and the fear in this world what a naive and cliche way to think but we won’t stop to sing our songs of change knowing it will always be this way

hunched and beaten she started to arise revealing her scars to the sun burning flesh and dripping wounds she’s dragging herself out of the cave cancer is spreading to the top of her lungs all the blood is running dry torture and abuse the dullness of everyday life once the most loved now nothing but vermin scorching heat, torrential downpour the claws still scratching her skin the solution falls like scales from her eyes there is only one way out molting scarred tissue on an empty shell return to dancing in the elliptical orbit newborn - free
9.
it means nothing to me, it means nothing to you you know all my fears and i know yours too the candles burn down while the wine fills your mind there’s no burning fire but your heart is blind so we ache and we sweat, a forgetting mess our misery engraved in each other’s flesh it means nothing to me, it means nothing to you you know all my flaws and i know yours too the taste, the touch of our poisonous fear our motives are foolish, our intentions are clear so we rot and we starve to get rid of the past a flickering light and it’s over at last it means nothing to me, it means nothing to you you know all my sins and i know yours too i’m a saint, i’m a prophet, i’m the god of the weak i am the devil that robs you of sleep you mean everything to me, i mean everything to you and if i cut the rope then you will die too.

I have... 04:01
the rats are dead all hail the king and thank the lord above let’s raise our cups to blood and death and fear of the unknown you try hard not to hear me i try so hard to touch you but if you don’t stop then i can’t stop cause what’s worth more than love our blood is thicker than water but please just quench my thirst i am hungover from partying to the sound of greed and fear i’ve become numb i’ve become you i’m broken and i’m blind i am the mass of hopelessness the lack of humankind
