Upon a Burning Body
Album • 2014
I'm not sorry for the way that I am The price of power Here we go! When you've never had anything How far would you go to have it all? They told me I could have everything But I never thought I'd have to take the fall Oh, so heavy lies the crown that you paid for Greed is the priority, it's fucking killing me Red razor wrists I don't know if I'll even make it to hell Red razor wrists I don't know if I'll even make it to hell It's like the harder I try, the more I fail I'm a goddamn monster, urgh! All my life searching for something All my life — it's left me with nothing now Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands I can't see, I can't feel anymore Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands Oh, so heavy lies the crown that you paid for Go ahead and turn your back on me Here's a big "fuck you", the first one's free On your knees or on the throne In the end we all still die alone Oh, so heavy lies the crown that you paid for Greed's the priority, it's fucking killing me It's like the harder I try, the more I fail I'm a goddamn monster, urgh! Red razor wrists I don't know if I'll even make it to hell Red razor wrists I don't know if I'll even make it to hell All my life searching for something All my life — it's left me with nothing now Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands I can't see, I can't feel anymore Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands Oh, so heavy lies the crown that you paid for Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands Blood on my hands! Blood in my eyes, blood on my hands Blood on my hands! Red razor wrists (Wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists) Red razor wrists (Wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists) Red razor wrists (Wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists) Red razor wrists I don't know if I'll even make it to hell! Red razor wrists (Wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists, wrists) I'm a goddamn monster!

The guilt The shame Drives you insane Here we go! (Burn it all, burn it all, burn it all) I’m not looking back There’s nothing to gain Burning it all, ignoring the pain Tell me what’s the reason Give me something to believe in Stop, this isn’t insecurity Stop, and I don’t know what you want from me Stop, forcing your standards upon me Stop, because I’m better than you’ll ever be! I’ll never, I’ll never re-live my past again So don’t ever, don’t ever come at me like that again I’ll never, I’ll never re-live my past again So don’t ever, don’t ever come at me like that again! And the scars that light up the sky Show the strength in me Through the pain and the sacrifice There's still strength in me!To take away the sorrow! The more lives I touch, the less I feel End it all, motherfucker and seal the deal I’m no stranger to the place where demons wait They fill up my heart with hate so Stop, this isn’t insecurity Stop, and I don’t know what you want from me Stop, forcing your standards upon me Stop, because I’m better than you’ll ever be! I’ll never, I’ll never re-live my past again So don’t ever, don’t ever come at me like that again I’ll never, I’ll never re-live my past again So don’t ever, don’t ever come at me like that again! I'm a bad, bad man without a doubt I'll chew you up And spit you the fuck out! I'm calling you out! And now you'll see there's still strength in me! I'm calling you out! And now you'll see there's still strength in me! And the scars that light up the sky Show the strength in me Through the pain and the sacrifice There's still strength in me To take away the sorrow!

You may not like me, but you'll remember my name I've never known what it's like to have a home Love me or hate me, I still end up alone All my temper, all my doubt are eating my soul No need to re-live the past, my memories are torn But tonight, I am reborn One more coin in a fountain of wishes You try and try and try You're too addicted to resisting The bitterest truth Is always better than the sweetest lies The bitterest truth Is always better than the sweetest lies Are you gonna face me? Or are you gonna run? I am everything you said I could never be What's the matter? Don't you recognise me When I'm standing above you? The bitterest truth Is always better than the sweetest lies And there's no way to hide it When I look in your eyes! The bitterest truth Is always better than the sweetest lies And there's no way to hide it When I look in your eyes They poisoned the best of me When I look in your eyes They poisoned the best of me But now I feel nothing! One more coin in the fountain of wishes One more coin in the fountain of wishes One more coin in the fountain of wishes One more coin in the fountain of wishes One more coin in the fountain of wishes One more coin in the fountain of wishes

We are setting the fires (We are setting the fires) We are setting the fires that light the way (That light the way) We are setting the fires We are setting the fires that light the way And as the flames burn, they blind us from the pain But this path leads only to our darkest days So give me something to believe in, and I'll bring the rain I don't need to escape from this maze 'Cause I’m about to set it all ablaze It’s time to face my fears The past is gone, I'm still standing here! I'm still standing here! I'm looking for a match if you couldn't tell I won't strike away from raising hell! We are setting the fires that light the way And as the flames burn, they blind us from the pain But this path leads only to our darkest days So give me something to believe in, and I'll bring the rain Raise the flags, rev the engines Let's find something to believe in Raise the flags, rev the engines Let's find something to believe in Raise the flags, rev the engines We are something to believe in! Raise the flags, rev the engines Thunder! I believe! I'll bring the rain, you bring the thunder! I believe Yeah, you better believe! I'll bring the rain, you bring the thunder! I’m still standing here! I’m still standing here!

This track is instrumental.
I refuse to be the victim I've been on trial all my life I refuse to be the victim This is the part where I pull out the knife I've been on trial my whole life (Whole life!) This is the part where I pull out the knife! The world "love", it has no meaning to me Just an abandoned ship, lost in a black sea Hide my scars, hide my bruises from fight after fight Pages in time I wish I could rewrite We have all been here before To a place you hate, you hate to adore We have all been here before To a place you hate, you hate yourself for I'm not holding my breath I'm tired of trying I've got nowhere to rest In a world that's dying I'm not holding my breath I'm tired of trying I've got nowhere to rest In a world that's dying Cursed is the man who dies (Who dies!) But the evil done by him survives Cursed is the man who dies (Who dies!) But the evil done by him survives Welcome to no man's land (No man's land) In a time that feels like a world war No intervention for a global meltdown It's too late to help, I feel it's out of my hands now We have all been here before To a place you hate, you hate to adore We have all been here before To a place you hate, you hate yourself for I'm not holding my breath I'm tired of trying I've got nowhere to rest In a world that's dying I'm not holding my breath I'm tired of trying I've got nowhere to rest In a world that's dying [Guitar Solo] I don't believe in this world anymore All rise In the case of Danny Leal against the World The jury has reached a verdict We find the defendants guilty on all charges Judgement! I refuse to be the victim This is the part where I pull out the knife I've been on trial my whole life (Whole life!) This is the part where I pull out the knife

All this time You said I'm living in a dream world, you said I wouldn't (No), I couldn’t (No), I shouldn’t (No) Said I was left behind and need to stay alive But I'm not like you, I'm one of a kind I got a problem with authority So proving you wrong is a priority You said I didn't have the voice, but now I'm making noise So with a rebel yell we cry more, more, more Don't look back anymore Reflections of the past live on But the demons from the past are gone Don't look back anymore Reflections of the past live on Live on, live on! I thought you weren't supposed to be the closest Or the furthest from me I'm not a victim of jealousy And talking all that shit will get your head split, I don't give a fuck I see what I want and I take it You're just a bitter pawn of my creation Still think my singing's out of line Can you see this crowd? I think I'm doing just fine And with a smile on my face I got a middle finger to the world And another one just in case, move! Middle finger to the world! Oh, middle finger to the world! Fight fire with fire where the odds are stacked Fight fire with fire and don't look back Don't look back anymore Reflections of the past live on But the demons from the past are gone Don't look back anymore Reflections of the past live on Live on, live on Don’t look back I'll fight fire with fire (Fight fire with fire) With the odds all stacked (Fight fire with fire) What would you know about hurt? (Fight fire with fire) What would you know about death?
