I'm not shell-schocked, look how easily I walk it off
If you brought me to my knees, why can't you keep up?
No you and me don't bleed the same, sorry you can't teach me pain
You're a bee sting that i keep like an after thought
Don't show me the mirror of misery or the truth behind the door cuz I've tuned you out, stop trying to be so loud
As easy as one, two, three now you're dead to me, it's like you never were the enemy that almost turned me around
Your knee-jerk push and shove doesn't throw me off
I'm just picking at a scab until I tear it off
The notion never once arose, just a war that no one knows
So kiss the shotgun to your head before I pop it off
Don't show me the mirror of misery or the truth behind the door cuz I've tuned you out, stop trying to be so loud
As easy as one, two, three now you're dead to me, it's like you never were the enemy that almost turned me around
It was my brightest day but I can't remember it but for, what must have been the sound of you not being around
As I walk away, there's no damage left on me
In silence I still hear the sound, I swear i hear it now
As I near the end, it's almost like i lost a friend cuz you were never not around, you were never not around.
If I die today, well at least I turned to face the wave, while some never turn around, some never turn around.

Only stars before I hit the floor, my face is broke but I feel no pain at all
Just a stupid kind of love
Beat me down 'till your arms are sore, your knuckles raw and you feel I'm wanting more
I'm the blood clot from your headshot boy
Take me down won't take the crown of anyone
Beat me down or break me like a toy
It's the pain that i enjoy
You stand tall cuz you made me bleed, I'm always me but you don't know what you've seen
I'm the blood clot from your headshot boy
Take me down won't take the crown of anyone
Beat me down or break me like a toy
It's the pain that i enjoy

Are you finally turned around? Are we facing the same ground?
Tell me how it's tasting, the bets you placed on the life you're faking
So impossible to take down? How wrong you were
You're nothing but a sad reminder of what you hated, what you betrayted.
I'll break myself when it's time but you know I won't let go till I feel it die
It seems you don't remember, we are the worry never-ers
We fight until one dies, no one surrenders
Don't think you'll take us, you're as fucking fake as the money makers
You wear a face on your mask, but I know what you are
Your simple outlook has no vision, it's promise like a politician
If you're so fucking sick, why don't you die right now?
I'll break myself when it's time but you know I won't let go till I feel it die
It seems you don't remember, we are the worry never-ers
We fight until one dies, no one surrenders

A Love Letter

Bleeding out on the dance floor
These broken bones they can't take much more
Stumble me off I head towards the light
A final breath and I'm gone, I bid farewell to bloodshot skies
I have been broken by sound, prettier when I'm down, but I just couldn't wait for you
On the tip of my tongue, exclusively for the young, but it's falling away from you
If I'm falling down sideways, don't reach out now to catch my fall
If I'm living off maybe's, it's oh so too late to hear the last call
I could run and hide, I could edge myself towards the light,
but with you by my side, the bullets fly across the night sky
And when they come down we could watch them die
and smile at the fear in their eyes
A final breath and they're gone, they bid farewell to bloodshot skies

You swallow lies and it cuts me up
Your calling is a lie, in real life it's just a comedy
Escaping real life, you're pushing the knife, it's just a show
I push it down, I feel the calm, and it's time to go
You push a knife cuz you wanted to get away
I feel the life as it breaks inside of me
You wanted answers, but there's no answer to take the pain away
I'd turn it all around if I never really wanted to be the other way
I close my eyes and I pop my gun
I shoot it blind, pop in the dark cuz it's so much fun
I'm fooling no one now cuz I'm on the list of never-were's that missed
This common right of passage, the fist breaks through all the answers
What is?
You push a knife cuz you wanted to get away
I feel the life as it breaks inside of me
You wanted answers, but there's no answer to take the pain away
I'd turn it all around if I never really wanted to be the other way

Here's a story I got to tell about three bad brothers you don't know at all
They're not here today cuz they couldn't take the weight, Wait!
Fuck this shit, I'm angry at you, don't you know what I owe to you?
Without a final wave, they made their great escape
The early chapters were the end, but I know we'll meet again
I hope you know I was your friend and I understand you without a doubt
But I feel you cut me out, cuz I know I'd have talked you all down
You must have been fucked up for a while, but in memories you're nothing but smiles, but you don't have to explain, I too deceive in pain
What it was you chose not to say, I swear I swore that you were ok
But you were kissed goodbye by a gun, it's true the good die young.
The early chapters were the end, but I know we'll meet again
I hope you know I was your friend and I understand you without a doubt
But I feel you cut me out, cuz I know I'd have talked you all down
Could you not turn off the voice that cuts through all the noise?
Oh why did you give up the fight my friend? Since when do you not fight?
I could see no fear in your eyes, but they couldn't see the end
Oh why did you give up that night? Why did you choose to die?
Well I'm still here with the heaviest heart, but I'm glad I called you friend
Oh I will miss you so goodnight, until we meet again
It kills me now, to think of then
Or that I'll never see your face again
It kills me now, so I pretend
You're right here with me now

Don't you tear me awake from this chemical day
Is it only a half a dream or the life that we don't see?
On the darkest nights these rays of light descend to swallow me
They show me a better way, but they don't allow me to stay
You're a far way from home, not lost or alone
It's a shot in the darkness, the calling that calls us away from what we know
This ray of light won't blind your eyes away from what we see
I had to learn to take the shot, before the shot takes me
Take a breath and lay to rest, I know it's trained on me
I took a fall and broke the wall, It shot right through me
It's a shock to the system, thoughts that break but we'll never miss them
Come through like a tidal wave, break and take it all away
There is so much time as we duck under covers that don't cover others
They seem to fade away, as we plan our great escape
You're a far way from home, not lost or alone
It's a shot in the darkness, the calling that calls us away from what we know
This ray of light won't blind your eyes away from what we see
I had to learn to take the shot, before the shot takes me
Take a breath and lay to rest, I know it's trained on me
I took a fall and broke the wall, It shot right through me

Open Sky

Will I find my way home, or will I die alone?
Beneath these faded stars that don't know where they are
But I lied, I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
This isn't me, no it isn't me
Wide awake on a feeling
This isn't me, no it isn't me
The open sky is a ceiling
I tried my whole life to make it, why'd I always have to break it?
The chasing down of a life thats long been gone away...
Where I find lazy hope
I find a noosed up rope
If I find my way home
I can, I'll break alone
But I lied, cuz I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
This isn't me, no it isn't me
Wide awake on a feeling
This isn't me, no it isn't me
The open sky is a ceiling
I tried my whole life to make it, why'd I always have to break it?
The chasing down of a life thats long been gone away
Yesterdays, coming back in faded waves

I let go of my fear
And I won't turn around, though I know it's near
What I thought I found or need in this world
Will be gone one day as sure as it should
There's no point in wondering when
The hand's upon me now and I can't defend
I day to day till the end
Was there a knock at the door?
I've heard that sound so much - I really don't know
I can't outrun it, I know I cannot hide
No matter where I go it's still by my side
There's no point in wondering when
The hand's upon me now and I can't defend
I day to day till the end
Time shine your light away, don't kiss me yet
I will give in any other day, If you won't call my name
Outside I wash in the rain, but I'm so dirty deep this dirt will not wash away
I'm lost in broken love
Until I say I've had enough - these broken bones just get me off
A broken mind won't trip me up, I swear I'll never fall again
One more day then I'll give up
One more day is never long enough
One last day then I'll let go
No reaper calls me home
No I won't go alone

Warning Shot
05:16

For the first time I am wide awake
With new resolve that cannot break
Build from scraps of battles lost and broken dreams
I know the cost of standing still
With half shut eyes
It struggles slow until it dies
The fire burns out and embers glow
And where it died now nothing grows
Until we rise and choose the fight
Another day dissolves to night
And what is wrong will carry on
And greet us each and every dawn
When we walk away from standing still
Be sure our resolve is to kill
Or give in each and every night
The one that sleeps will kill tonight
The game that we follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
Run away from anything that breaks your day
But don't hide from what comes out at night
Someday we'll wake the fire that burns inside
Or blind eyes will never see the light
The game that you follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
The warning shot was so strong that they never fired a gun
Awake and I see red, you feed the war I feel the dead
No four walls will keep me in, I break them down and I break them in
Turn off the seeing eye, let go the fear that cheats and lies
Down the curtain, let it fall
Bring me their heads, now let them roll
The game that you follow, It's pain and it's sorrow
The tears of the silenced will drown out the violence
The warning shot was so strong that they never fired a gun
