Self-Sabotage Anthem

Common Doubts (Sample 1)

Judgmental

Track 3 from Starlight Death EP, this song was inspired by the terrible flood that swept large areas of Tennessee recently. 

Lyrics:
All lost, over night.
Claiming possessions and lives.
We think our empire is so strong,
but one flood and it's all gone.

Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees.

Swallowed all the land,
forcing where you stand.
You never feel so powerless
until you're under the sand of
an hour glass.

Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees. [x2]

Sometimes, you just don't expect it.
Nature knocks you to the ground.
We spend so much time interconnected,
we forget we're afraid to drown. [x2]

Just when we're comfortable,
something shows us we're not invincible.
And that it's not as hard as it seems...
To bring mankind to it's knees. [x2]

03 Flood

Track 4 off of Starlight Death EP.

Lyrics:
You don't
even know where to start.
You don't
even know where you are.
Shopping mall,
frozen stiff.
Shopping karts
in snowdrifts.

I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.

It's time
to figure out where you parked.
It's time
to figure out who you are.
This is
the last I walk this mile.
This is
the last of my fake smiles.

I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.

This was never meant to be who I was,
this was never meant to be.
And every little thing you thought that I was,
not a bit of that is me. [x2]

I
I can't remember
last December...
But I
I remember
Miss pretender.

You don't even know where to start...
You don't even know where you are...

04 Snowdrifts (Miss Pretender)

Track 5 off of Starlight Death EP, inspired by UFO cults such as Heaven's Gate, as well as other similar subjects.

Lyrics:
This is just insanity,
a made by man calamity.
You're trying to appeal to
me with overbearing prophecy.
A little bit manipulative,
with messages indicative
of who is allowed to live.

Punch a hole in the side of the universe.

I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)
I want to leave the earth.
(Beam me up)

Punch a hole in the side of the universe.
(Look to the sky, the end is nigh) [xseveral times]

I want to leave the earth, I want to leave the earth,
I want to leave the earth, I want to leave.

05 Punch a Hole In The Side of The Universe

Track 6 off of Starlight Death EP.

Lyrics:
Tell me why you always seem to
think you know what's best for me?
Does it occur that you might know
way less than you seem to think?
I dig my own grave.
Your mind creates a world of your own
that suits you, and only you,
but as hard as you try, you can't escape
the end or what is true.
I dig my own grave.

And I'll sleep in it.

You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed
You
always fear the worst.

To criticize, even lie,
from atop your platitudes.
Your friends are lies, fame a disguise,
all in popular attitudes.
I dig my own grave.
To think what you say and say what you think
does not a rebel make.
You're no more free, it's all a machine,
leaving the dead in it's wake.
I dig my own grave.

And I'll sleep in it.
Unlike you, you worthless
hypocrite.

You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst. [x2]

It doesn't matter how much money you make,
or which path in life you decide to take.
It wont make you more right or wrong,
you can stop talking 'cause I'm already gone.

You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed.
You
always fear the worst.
You
think I'm cursed.
You always fear the worst.
(Tell me why you)
Think I'm cursed.
(Always seem to think you know what's best for me)
Always fear the worst...

My Ghost Town Album Sampler

"Peace of Mind" by Arrested Decay, off of My Ghost Town.

-Lyrics- 

She lived her life…
So full of fear…
She held on tight…
Kept feelings near….
Hiding in her room,
hopeless thoughts consume,
tries to rest her weary head
upon a sleepless bed…

I can never have peace of mind,
'cause I wonder, I wonder.
Even basking in the sunshine,
I hear thunder, I hear thunder.
I can never have peace of mind…

She would read the end…
Just to see it coming…
Had no faith in friends…
Except for in them running.
Double lock all the doors,
batten down the hatches.
Stay away from love and war,
and any bug that catches.

I don't know why you just run…
Don't you know? Your story's not done…

I can never have peace of mind,
'cause I wonder, I wonder.
Even basking in the sunshine,
I hear thunder, I hear thunder.
I can never have peace of mind…

But I will be there.
I'll hold what I can bear.
I'll see you through it all.
I'll catch you if you fall.

I can never have peace of mind,
'cause I wonder, I wonder.
Even basking in the sunshine,
I hear thunder, I hear thunder.
I can never have peace of mind…
So afraid that you'll leave me behind.
I can never have peace of mind…
I just feel like I'm wasting your time.
I can never have peace of mind…
So afraid that you'll leave me behind…

So afraid that you'll leave me behind….
So afraid that you'll leave me behind….
So afraid that you'll leave me behind….
So afraid that you'll leave me behind….
