The following audio transcription has been altered To protect the identity of the recorder Echo Squad is a subdivision of Section 1-3 Authorised by Director, Scarlett Lead by agent 7-12-15-15-13, codename Jay Audio transcription begins in 3, 2, 1 Lets start from the start, I lie through my teeth I've lost my conscience to the codeine I've lost so much sleep that every thing’s a dream But I recollect all my time spent with the 13 Echo Squad, Coffin Crew, we can't name the things we'd do to you If we did we'd be put in body bags, labelled "who the fuck are you?" Getting answers out of us is like pulling teeth We should have claimed insanity My tongues stuck in my throat, pecked at by crows I would try to scream for help but no one would ever really know You want to know what it's like? Losing all hope? Just look for her name, it's on a tomb stone She was taken from me just to send a fucking message But it built up something stronger and left behind a wreckage Of all the monsters that I've fought the worst one's in my head Let heaven collapse, and watch the world burn This is desperation God abandon me. I'm already dead (Eugh) (What, what) (Hahahaha) Die, Arise, Belie I'm lost in twilight

I built up my problems inside me Or at least that's what I told myself But she was the light that would guide me And now she's gone and I'm giving in I don't wanna watch the world burn I lost myself in the love of someone else A girl, she filled my shell I don't know how she loved me But she still found some hope in me She was taken by my enemies And so my job came in to play I'm a coward with no name Without a face Another lost soul of the human race But something grew A darkness, a monster (And it had a motive) Put everyone in the fucking ground I told it to stop, I begged it to stop It wouldn't listen So my enemies are going down I'll put you in the fucking ground Peel back the skin to make him bleed Take the love away to make him scream Cut me up Bleed me dry Open my throat Just keep her alive They took her away, I'll make them pay (Bang, bang, bang) Three shots to the back of your fucking head I swear to god you try touching me again I'll rip you apart limb from limb I'm the one thing here that can't die I live the half-life So don't fuck with me I'll let my bad side cross the line You're on the wrong side And I'm not giving in (I made my way up the building To the highest floor) Killing everything I deplored I saw them snatch her away The love they knew I won't ignore Taking advantage Of my one weakness, my subtle flaw I fought and I fought and I fought Til I couldn't see clear anymore Blood red Cut me up Bleed me dry Open my throat Just keep her alive They took her away, I'll make them pay (Bang, bang, bang) Three shots to the back of your fucking head I'm what makes up your worst nightmare You got friends and family, I don't care I'll hunt you down, put a bullet in your fucking head The world is better off without you So stay dead Fuck you and your pitiful existence Bullet to the fucking head Rope around your fucking neck I'll put you down And that's when I found her They had hung her From the end of a rope

Words were never spoken aloud Just teasing glances in our directions Who knew that love would break me Breaking the vice between reality, it seems Nothing is innocent anymore A few bottles down and I'm already on the floor Screaming your name For the man in black to bring you home It's been 1 week, one long week And your presence is starting to fade away Every day I stare down the barrel of a gun I beg for the ghosts to stay away Be erased from my memories Because the thought of you gone Brings me too much pain It's funny how much happened in a second Watch your step or you might lose it I knew that one day they'd all fall But I didn't know that you'd impact me at all I just want to feel you in my arms again I'm all alone in this mind and I'm not feeling it When I brought you down, untied the rope I brought down everything and everyone It's not that hard to see I lack direction And a sense of purpose When I held her in my arms she felt so weightless Rachel: Carry me home Jay: I feel so weightless Everything feels so transparent Have I lost all sense of purpose? Rachel: Carry me home Find my gravity I don't want to let go of everything If only you could fucking hear me Honestly? I can't breathe The feelings mutual The pain is substantial Pull me close Don't let go Feel my grief Feel my sorrow Weightless, but you're not rising up The noose pulled you down and took you from me Jay: God I take back all the mistakes I made Take my life for hers as a trade Begging for you, please come back to me Feel the pull of gravity Let the man in black take you home

Her mother holds her father While she weeps on his shoulder Their daughters brought down the isle But this isn't her wedding day The coffins on the alter And the incense burns my eyes The priest starts by saying "God, why take this life away?" At this point her mother Breaks down in sorrow She calls me a monster And tears stream down Her face (her face) What am I to say? My eyes fill too But not of tears, but of hatred Self loathing, foreboding I feel their eyes stare upon me And I turn, to face them The dead eyed population Staring me down Wishing it was me they were putting in the ground Finally, it was my turn to speak as the priest stepped down from the altar, casting his eyes my way. I couldn't tell if that was from condolence or pity, so I stand and I slowly walk up to face the audience of about a hundred people who turned up, more out of empathy and sorrow, or how I know pity, but I abhor them So I unfold the paper I can't take the pain much longer... "I can't put words to paper On the pain we all feel But I know as you all stare at me That I'm the one to blame So condone me, disown me Bring me down to my knees I deserve it all anyway" My voice starts to break As tears stream down my face It's not over, but it's over I can't take this heartbreak Anymore So we filed out and the music played Her coffin wearing bouquets Her mother's crying, we were crying The weather reflected our pain We all drove down to the hole where we put her Six feet down, but raising up from me I stood alone in the pouring rain As the days go by I find it harder to get up I'm asphyxiated by your presence Like a shadow over my shoulder But truth is, I don't care I'd rather feel something there Than never feel you here at all I wish I got to hold you close One last time And not let go Not travel to the great divine Because I knew that would be my last goodbye I won't see you on the other side I stood alone in the pouring rain Shrouded by my shame I can't even hold on to what I love Without it slipping away I tore my own heart out And threw it in her grave I guess I never needed it Standing alone in the pouring rain

I won't give in To the voice in my head He's telling me everyone in this room is dead They just don't know it yet They just don't know it yet, they just don't know it yet I watch the spiders dance on the ceiling Weaving me a rope to numb the feeling Of feeling dead inside I think I've lost my mind Drowning down the vomit With a bottle of mineral turpentine I feel constricted by the rope It reminds me that I'm all alone With death's hands wrapped around my throat Just let me die Another nail to my fucking coffin (Take me to meet my maker) You know you want to, you know you need to Let me out to play so I can feed you I feel the hate rise within me It wants me dead and won't stop at nothing Like cyanide, tainted thoughts Scrawled across the walls So come and get me I like to feel obscene I wanna die like my heroes Like what I see on my TV screen Do you feel pretty now You're lookin' a little bit green Turning white like a plate made out of porcelain Death bringer, bring me judgement Let me die so I can start again Like cyanide, I feel like I fit in Just another nail to my fucking coffin I can feel it stuck in the back of my teeth The more I think the more I feel uncertainty Of holding on to my sanity I hate now what I've become I can feel stuck in the back of my mind The loose end that's lost the concept of time It's bringing me to my knees so Save me before I come undone I'm a disease Drenched in melancholy Everyone wants me dead Suffering from what's in my head I've never felt this before This pain that I adore Stop me god before I lose control (I was once what put down the monsters And now I've become one I'm the bump in the night you're afraid of And so you should be) I'm sick and twisted, a ballistic psychotic mess I'm past my time and I'm okay with that But I'll be damned if I go down like this You can't fix this damaged mess That's how it's always be I'll bet you'll listen when I mark your shallow grave (Jay) This is what's become of me (I'm walking death in a human vessel) I can feel it stuck in the back of my teeth The more I think the more I feel uncertainty Of holding on to my sanity I hate what I've become I can feel it stuck in the back of my mind The loose end that's lost the concept of time It's bringing me to my knees So save me before I come undone I've come undone I've come undone I've come undone!

Come on, take over me Fill me with rage again I want this bitch to meet her fucking end Fill me with delusions, illusions Just numb my conscience This won't end in resolution Final demise is the only solution (It creeps up my spine) I break in through the back door And wade my way through the crowd I see her standing with her friends Ignorant, head in clouds God if you're out there Now is the time to step in Stop me before I put this bitch's face to the cement (If my mother knew what I'd do next) I'd be put down like the dog I am (No guilty consciousness) I'm not just in your head I am the drive that wants her fucking dead I'm not just in your head I am the drive that wants her fucking dead Take this from me You prey like a vulture on my humanity What you left was a hole in my chest It's filled with hate, and won't let me rest So numb the pain Give in to my disarray I'll take what's left of your humanity Yeah! (She goes to make a call) Please stop me god I can't give in (Revenge is mine) I'll leave her corpse by the roadside I drag her from the pavement And throw her up against the wall “Yeah do it, Jay This bitch acts like she owns it all.” I draw my gun but her friends come out And try to fix the situation We fought for it and shot her friend instead Another fucking accident She's shocked by what I've done And in the pause I drop my gun “Reach into her chest and rip out her heart An act of aggravation” We stand in the pouring rain With blood pooling at my feet Her friends question why I did it I grabbed them by throats and said “I am the reaper. Fear me, motherfucker.” Run to me, I can't feel a thing Take this from me You prey like a vulture on my humanity What you left was a hole in my chest It's filled with hate, and won't let me rest So numb the pain I gave in to my disarray I took what's left of your humanity

I. Die ----- I am the pain that pulls your chest tight That keeps you up all night That makes you lose all sight I make you scream in your darkest dreams I make your life a living hell Like a parasite (Die. Arise. Belie) I'm lost in twilight I'm losing perspective A new directive, with a bad ending expected (Die. Arise. Belie.) Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe I'm so far from innocent You would lose sleep With the thoughts in my I'm losing The sole control With my thoughts in my head Remember the sound of the pouring rain? (The pouring rain) The one that masked you of your pain? The skies are clear now just like your disdain (disdain) There's no coming back now, no coming from this There is a horror beneath this grin A darkness inside that lurks within If you want to see it peel back my skin Lay me with the weak Lay me with the weak I had nightmares that played out Before my eyes Dreams became reality Noise became silence I'm constantly told to pick up the pace Another loose end, another dead waste But I smiled just to save face To keep their happiness in place I was always told I was meant for something better But the taste you left in my mouth was rather bitter I can't talk about it because nothing helped No one helped me when I dug holes for them But now I have no one left to save me ------- Ii. Arise ------- (I always told myself I'd be fine Everything was meant to work out alright But now she's gone and I keep losing sight Someone help me) Come in through the front door and I feel my head spin Another night sitting alone with the cold wind From head to toe, I'm caked in blood I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I run From the things that are keeping me from coming undone It's either you or me staring down a loaded gun Until the end of time, but I don't want to give in I can feel I'm slipping already now Because I never win I try to put pen to paper to unload my mind But every time I try I have a hard time Every time I speak now I lose my mind It's hard with this shit cramped in the corner of my mind Telling me everything I'm doing is wrong Like you're the fucking reason that you lost your girlfriend all along It wasn't your enemies, or the 13, it was your fault That you let her get out of sight "That's not right," I scream to the blank walls that have seen everything If they could talk they wouldn't talk, they would fucking scream (They would fucking scream) Of the reasons that my knuckles gleam blood red in the moonlight Even the devil is afraid of me Fast tracked to hell, with a front row seat What have I done? I ripped the heart from her killer's chest For what? Revenge? What was the point in that? I want to scream at the skies but all I have is the ceiling So I pray to God maybe he could forgive me Then she was right there, right in front of me Dancing in the moonlight, grinning at me Rachel, regret herself, like something from a dream But when she spoke, I knew that she was haunting me I just want to feel Something to fill the hole that I dug When I lost you And she was gone like a ghost And I'm alone again I'm alone again, I'm alone again I feel at home with the rain It helps when I carry my pain It helps me cope with my fear of the dead With my fear of the ------- Iii. Belie ------- He appeared in the corner, bringing entropy Dragged from the depths of hell inside of me I scream at him, "What the hell do you want from me?" How can you become this mindless thing? "Have you forgotten so easily? I am you. I am the madness that lurks within us all Begging to be free at every moment In your deepest animal mind I am what you hide from in your beds every night I am what you sedates into silence and paralysis When you go to the nocturnal haven where I cannot tread I'll take over your mind and free you from thought Put ropes around their necks and fear in their heart." That's when he came and took over me In my mind I hear him say "so nearly free" And in my eyes I saw hell I saw hell (Rachel): I watch from the other side Of the frozen glass Tapping for his attention Waiting for the gloom to pass To tell him my story But see the pain in his eyes He saw heaven's glory I saw hell I am the pain that you never saw Bringing you down I am a hollow shell I am hell

Set me free! "Close your eyes You don't want to see this" Let the wave wash over you Stop struggling with deaths interlude As I fade suspended in the air I lost my step while grasping for air Oh please, I don't want to lose him I don't want to lose him Breathless, I leave this world With so much more to offer Take my breath away The noose pulls tight, the air draws thin All his love, crushed within Set me free! Set me free Lower my body into the ground of ash Where the gloom is unending, but my end is black Where all the love slowly dies Where the night is cold with no sunrise In a moment of silence I watch his life unfold Bringing the world to its knees While his heart grows cold All he's surrounded by is fear and fucking dead men The noose pulls tight... CHOKE "I can see you're suffering" I whisper from beyond divides But you can find comfort in me Not that you can fucking hear me Lower my body into the ground of ash Where the gloom is unending, but my end is black Where all the love slowly dies Where the night is cold with no sunrise I was weightless But the noose stayed strong Gravity pulled me down To where I belong Maybe it's better off being this way Your only daughter sent to the grave Death grips tight, around my neck Unable to breathe, I take my final stance The last thing I see is your face Eyes filled with tears, my saving grace (My saving grace) It's time to stop blaming yourself I don't want you to leave I can't do this without you But you must go on, live life, and let the memories fade." “It would be so simple to slip away But you must go on, live life, and let the memories fade." I didn't have the chance to say what I wanted to say I don't want to take these words to my fucking grave (Let me go) All I feel is nothing, all I feel is emptiness inside Weightless but you're not rising up The noose pulled you down But I couldn't save you Because I am the man in black I am the man in black Honestly, I can't breathe Pull me close, don't let go Honestly, I can't breathe Pull me close, don't let go

Just when you thought it was over I've got one last part Of the story to tell Where everybody fucking dies Devil You can't run from the devil Clenched fist around their throats While the other ones inside, figuring out what hurts the most All I hear is screaming, and it fuels my rage The gloom has taken full control to fucking decimate Everyone, all of my enemies Can't tell what's right or wrong, you're all so helpless I fought like hell Yet I still lost Whether I come back from this Only time will tell (Blood stains the floor) I fought and fought, I can't see clearly anymore Blood red is all I can see There's no stopping the demon that's inside of me Watch me rot I've given up on everything There's no hope for me I am the devil I am pure evil I built up my problems inside me And now they're coming out There's no light that will guide me I'm rotting filth, and I'm accepting it Let's watch the world burn Fear the devil I'll let the pain engulf me I want to let go, I'm so sick of it now Watch me dance in the flames with the serpents beneath my feet And as the seasons change I stay the same I want death to pierce my lungs and give me life again Drown me in misery, bury them in a marked grave Drown me in misery, bury them in a marked grave Rot motherfucker! I'll throw them to the fucking curb And stomp their heads into the dirt No one will be left alive Watch me fucking rot

Everything here is so fucking lifeless Am I the only thing here with a heartbeat? Paroxetine has become my mistress Lay me down to sleep with my demons The ceiling lights always on, but it doesn't shine Illuminating nothing but a sore sight I was once the reaper Now I'm my worst nightmare, grim sleeper Trained to kill for the thrill Empty out my soul You won't be laughing When your bell tolls (So you've finally come to take me) I've let others try and they all failed Mistake after mistake, so I'll kill you myself I won't lose sleep if I kill you tonight Go on, make my day, put up a fucking fight I've lost all sense of conscious thought Don't be surprised if you find me hanging from my bedpost I haven't killed in years and I'm thirsty Empty out my soul Your first mistake was letting me go So take a gun Shove it in your mouth And pull the fucking trigger Take your pride and swallow it Like your mother should've swallowed you All points have lead up to this moment I'll leave you hanging from the ceiling Like you, I have no feeling Cut my throat, let me choke Make sure I don't stop bleeding Let the cold arms of death embrace me You're just a number to my body count You don't matter to me I don't care if I die Go ahead and kill me I don't care if I die Go ahead and kill me Fear me Fear me
