An Eye for an Eye

I will gladly bite the hand that feeds Without a compromise You drew the line at what was yours And what's not mine A snake sucking at the heart of this More guilty than you'd like to admit (like to admit) Rotting on the inside Dividing myself in two I saw the devil with my own eyes And he fit the shape of you A fucking coward With a tongue to tell a thousand lies Cover your red hands But you can't hide your poisoned mind Say what you want I've held these words for long enough You're the bottom-feeder Someone that I'll never need here Say what you want Taken for granted all I've done Infested by the thought That you can never be wrong I'll never trust anything That you think that I might want You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on So sick, so sick Of trying to prove myself for worth When you take what I deserve So quick, so quick To point the blame and then turn and run You'll burn for all that you've done Torn the hopes of everyone I love And now it's your turn You can get fucked Yeah, get fucked Say what you want I've held these words for long enough You're the bottom-feeder Someone that I'll never need here I'll never trust anything That you think that I might want You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on So sick, so sick Of trying to prove myself for worth When you take what I deserve So quick, so quick To point the blame and then turn and run You'll burn for all that you've done With a tongue to tell a thousand lies You'll burn for all that you've done With a tongue to tell a thousand lies You'll burn for all that you've done I will gladly bite the hand that feeds When it doesn't feed enough Cover your red You're fucking guilty scum You're fucking guilty scum You're fucking guilty

What doesn't kill me Feels more like a noose around my neck I've overcome the fear of death Hung my hopes with the same rope That will lead me to my end Hollow now without a sense of regret Forgive, but never fucking forget Choices that we make define our shallow graves Is this life worth the sacrifices made along the way? Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye my empty silhouette Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye a past that I regret Forgive, but never forget (forgive, but never forget) Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye my empty silhouette Forgive, but never forget (forgive, but never forget) Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye a past that I regret I've overcome the fear of death Hung my hopes with the same rope That will lead me to my grave Hung my hopes with the same rope The past doesn't deserve to be saved What doesn't kill me starts to separate Break me apart piece by piece What doesn't kill me starts to separate Everything that I'll ever need Hollow now without a sense of regret Forgive, but never fucking forget Choices that we make define our shallow graves Is this life worth the sacrifices made along the way? Forgive, but never forget (forgive, but never forget) Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye my empty silhouette Forgive, but never forget (forgive, but never forget) Cut ties with the ghosts I've left behind Goodbye a past that I regret Forgive, but never fucking forget Forgive, but never fucking forget

Realized there's nothing left but apathy Can't seem to manufacture feelings the way you do so easily Tired from trudging through the dark in hopes of brighter days Sick of swallowing everything that I've wanted to say It's hard to stomach the thought Of all the things you're told When growing up means growing old Becoming jaded from the life you lead The common misconception that we're existing Why do we cling to a voice that's always silent? Too busy searching for the love we will never get Why do we cling to a life that we'll never know? Too busy searching for a better direction to go (Until it all fades away) Live and learn As I move on that my heart gets colder And the distant tides have turned As I move forward the world gets colder (the world gets colder) Live and learn As I go on that my heart gets colder And the distant tides have turned As I move forward the world gets colder Until it all fades away (until it all fades away) Bring this cold heart back to life Bring this cold heart back to life It's hard to stomach the thought Of all the things you're told Can't fit the shape, can't fit the mold Becoming jaded from the life you lead The common misconception that we're existing Why do we cling to a hand that never reaches back for us? Too busy searching for a meaning in what we've lost Why do we cling to a life that we'll never know? Too busy searching for a better direction to go (Until it all fades away) Live and learn As I move on that my heart gets colder And the distant tides have turned As I move forward the world gets colder (the world gets colder) Live and learn As I go on that my heart gets colder And the distant tides have turned As I move forward the world gets colder Until it all fades away

There is no truth in life Only in death can you find that there is no peace And what it means to be alive There is no truth that will set you free Swallow your tongue before you try to say what's best for me You don't know Never walked a day in my shoes And I'll be damned if I turn out like you Malicious the way you twist your words This vicious cycle that I'm in feels more like a curse When will enough be enough? The world's been dead to me for too long So sing me a sad song And tell me that I'll never belong Maybe you're right, maybe I'm all wrong But the world's been dead to me for too long Sad songs You and me we'll never belong Maybe you're right, maybe I'm all wrong But the world's been dead to me for too long The world's been dead to me for too long You don't really know what's best for me Save it for someone else So before you open your mouth Know I don't need your help What I really need is for you to go fuck yourself Fuck yourself So tell me Does it give you that sour taste that you hate? There'll be no peace between you and me Does it give you that sour taste that you hate? There'll be no peace So sing me a sad song And tell me that I'll never belong Maybe you're right, maybe I'm all wrong But the world's been dead to me for too long Sad songs You and me we'll never belong Maybe you're right, maybe I'm all wrong But the world's been dead to me for too long The world's been dead to me for too long Does it give you that sour taste that you hate? To know I'll go my own way Does it give you that sour taste that you hate? (Sad songs) Does it give you that sour taste that you hate? (Sad songs) To know I'll go my own way (Sad songs) Does it give you that sour taste that you hate, you hate, you hate?

Born too numb Patience is wearing thin Consumed by struggle overwhelmed with angst Stuck in my bitter skin Born too numb When all is said and done You have to learn to walk Before you ever try to run (Fuck) Fuck this life That only take, take, takes from me I will stand firm on my own two feet (Dead) Dead inside Time only break, break, breaks me down Don't know what more you could expect from me Walking in the shadows of the night A clearer conscience Everyday becomes a different fight Walking in the shadows of the night Hard to see what's in front me When everything's in black and white Where do we draw the line? An eye for an eye Ends up making the whole world go blind And the sins that we selfishly hide Have left our pitiful lives in decline Where do we draw the line? An eye for an eye Ends up making the whole world go blind And the sins that we selfishly hide Have left our pitiful lives in decline Where do we draw the line? (Fuck) Fuck this life That only take, take, takes from me I will stand firm on my own two feet (Dead) Dead inside Time only break, break, breaks me down Don't know what more you could expect from me Walking in the shadows of the night A clearer conscience Everyday becomes a different fight Walking in the shadows of the night Hard to see what's in front me When everything's in black and white Where do we draw the line?

You said this time would be the last Around in circles we go again Not holding back the way I used to A death in me is a death in you You said this time would be the last Around in circles, can't catch my breath When will you see my point of view?

Waste away another night Can't leave this bed I've made Given up on life God only knows I've tried To be better There's nothing left inside I got so lost along the way Could never find the words to say Waited for the dark to change in me Watched as the seasons faded away It's easier to just let go Rather than dwell on all I used to know Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long In a life that's not my own Lost myself, so cold Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long Never wanted to feel alone Lost myself, slow to love, so cold Can't leave this bed I made Given up on life God only knows I've tried To be better There's nothing left inside I got so lost along the way Counted down all of the days Waited for signs from a distant place Watched as the seasons faded away It's easier to just let go Rather than dwell on all I used to know Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long In a life that's not my own Lost myself, so cold Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long Never wanted to feel alone Lost myself, slow to love, so cold Through each and every year You destroy who you are When you try to disappear Take me back to the start Mend all the pieces that fell apart We watch the world turn But never stop to think about who we are Take me back to the start Mend all the pieces that fell apart I've been asleep for too long In a life that's not my own Never wanted to feel alone Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long In a life that's not my own Lost myself, so cold Come, wake me up I've been asleep for too long Never wanted to feel alone Lost myself, slow to love, so cold

Into the ground Got used to watching every year go by With thoughts diluted I stood at the end While my days turned into nights Reliving everything Every fucking memory Desperate to feel to get back The time that I've been missing Where do you go? When the moments you embrace become hollow What will it even be worth When we sell our souls to live on this earth Tried to sleep But found comfort in my lack of dreams We hesitate to let go Afraid of what we might see Give me back What fills the void when my minds at the edge Never thought it'd feel this way Give me back What these moments all used to mean Before life got the best of me There's still no sign of life here There's still no sign of life here My demons sing me to sleep in fear That the dark has left me for dead To die alone in the place I called my home Too young to be this fucked up Too young to be this fucked up Too young to be this fucked up So where do you go? When moments that you embrace become hollow Find your way when you get lost And there's no one there to guide you Tried to sleep But found comfort in my lack of dreams We hesitate to let go Afraid of what we might see Give me back What fills the void when my minds at the edge Never thought it'd feel this way Give me back What these moments all used to mean Before life got the best of me Got used to watching every year go by With thoughts diluted I stood at the end While my days turned into nights Reliving everything Every fucking memory Desperate to feel to get back The time that I've been missing Give me back Reliving everything Give me back Every fucking memory Give me back Desperate to fell to get back Give me back The things I know belong to me

Eyes of hell Slithering skin Demons at my doorstep Won't you let them in? Serpent herder Wandering souls Through the fields they dance In the fires below Won't you let them in? Won't you let them in? Won't you let them in? Won't you let them in? Eyes of hell Slithering skin Demons at my doorstep Won't you let them in? Won't you let them in?

Nothing but blood Can change what you have done I've bled myself enough for you The holy one The dark swallowed the day I watched the sun burn out Heard the devil praise my name Empty from the start Head to the ground Blackened my heart There will never be A white light to save me Despite the bullshit you force fed me to believe No more sympathy For the fucks that can't stand up for what they think Close my eyes so I can feel alone It helps to see the intent of a world I've outgrown My lack of faith showed me That this place is no longer a sanctuary The place you call out to the sky above Sanctuary The place you go to feel a false fucking love Why do we fear what we're meant to be now? The lies they sold us Why do we hide when we're meant to be free? Somehow we bought what they told us We're the thorn in your side Cast the shadow of doubt right out now We're the thorn in your side And that crown you wear is rusting out now The dark swallowed the day I watched every color fade Into a hue of grey I heard the devil telling me not to go Begging for me to leave this sanctuary The place you call out to the sky above Sanctuary The place you go to feel a false fucking love Why do we fear what we're meant to be now? The lies they sold us Why do we hide when we're meant to be free? Somehow we bought what they told us We're the thorn in your side Cast the shadow of doubt right out now We're the thorn in your side And that crown you wear is rusting out now We're the thorn in your side There's comfort in a darker sky We're the thorn in your side Not letting go until I know why you were sent to die We're the thorn in your side There's comfort in a darker sky We're the thorn in your side Not letting go until I know why you were sent to die Nothing but blood Can change what you have done I've bled myself enough for you The holy one Nothing but blood Can change what you have done I've bled myself enough for you The holy one

Buried my skeletons inside the darkest part of my thoughts Cut out the bones and left a space for the light to shine on Stitched up the seams when I felt overgrown Cut out the bones that made it hard for me to stand on my own I carry my mistakes and never let them define me I will walk alone but I won't follow blindly Do you dream our lives could be so different From this hell we live in Now it seems This life has killed the dream that I've dreamed I never meant to leave you all behind But nothing good lasts forever I never meant to leave you in the past But nothing good will ever last Skeletons became the only thing that I could trust Cut out the bones and left a space for collecting dust Stitched up the seems finally let go Cut out the bones when I felt fucking alone Remove what's left in my chest In every good life there is an image of death Remove what's left in my chest In every good life there is an image of death I carry my mistakes and never let them define me I will walk alone but I won't follow blindly Do you dream our lives could be so different From this hell we live in Now it seems This life has killed the dream that I've dreamed I never meant to leave you all behind But nothing good lasts forever I never meant to leave you in the past But nothing good will ever last Remove what's left in my chest In every good life there is an image of death Remove what's left in my chest In every good life there is an image of death
