Dreary

Riot

Trying To Survive

Lyrics:
Trapped between the shadows, where the light has no control
Lost in a world that’s wearing thin, breaking through my soul
Incarcerated in this space between the worlds we know, we know
Reality is slipping, it’s losing its hold
We hide behind the screens, the static in our veins
Detached from everything, from love to pain
Emotions fade like whispers in the wind
Living in a lie, a life that we pretend
Side by side, we watch the days go by
An affliction, this addiction
Whoa-oh
Side by side, we’re losing all our time
So obsessed with their illusions
Whoa-oh
We’re stuck in cycles of our vanity
Would self-loathing matter if they’re chanting our names?
When happiness is just a shallow game
Spoken from mouths hiding behind the shame
They'll throw you to the wolves, just for a sign of fear
But I refuse to let them keep me caged in here
Turn a blind eye, don't give a damn what they say
I’ll never give a damn what they say
Emotions fade like with this masquerade
Detached from everything, from love to pain
We hide behind the screens, the static in our veins
Detached from everything, from love to pain
Emotions fade like with this masquerade
Detached from everything, from love to pain
Were living in a lie like snide, consuming all your hope
But I’ll stand tall in this storm, I will learn to cope
Won't let them pull me under, won't let them take control
I’ll shatter these illusions, reclaim my soul
Incarcerated between these worlds, where shadows blur the line
But I’ll fight through the darkness, this soul is still mine
These worlds!
These worlds!

This addiction

Lyrics:
Sun’s breaking in, not a friend, it’s a foe
Why’s it feel like a fear I can’t throw?
Shadows and nightmares, they blend, they grow
In the corners where we dare not go
You whisper of forever, just me and you in the dark
But the sun’s a reminder, we’re waiting for night's mark

Blood red, yeah, I’ve been dead, dead and gone
Blood red, this endless dread lingers on
Blood red, a tale of dread, sung in every song

I sink my teeth in, can’t let go
Craving a piece, you gotta know
I sink my teeth in, watch the show
You turn, you change, from the friend I know
I sink my teeth in, it’s the blow

Coffin leaks, blood streaks, still awake, no peace
Counting stones, lost souls, their echoes never cease
Deeper still, my will, they fall, they kneel, in love, they believe
Keep quiet, no riot, you’re the prey, the feast, in the sun’s deceit

Deep dive, too alive, craving another life to thrive
See now, you’re the why, the addiction I can’t deny
Fear the bite, love the fright, it’s the plight we epitomize

I sink my teeth in, can’t let go
Craving a piece, you gotta know
I sink my teeth in, watch the show
You turn, you change, from the friend I know

Coffin leaks, blood streaks, still awake, no peace
Counting stones, lost souls, their echoes never cease
Deeper still, my will, they fall, they kneel, in love, they believe
Keep quiet, no riot, you’re the prey, the feast, in the sun’s deceit

Deep dive, too alive, craving another life to thrive
See now, you’re the why, the addiction I can’t deny
Fear the bite, love the fright, it’s the plight we epitomize

Blood red, yeah, I’ve been dead, dead and gone
Blood red, this endless dread lingers on
Blood red, a tale of dread, sung in every song

I sink my teeth, a desperate plea
Feed the beast, set it free
A taste, a bite, it’s all I need
Off the vine, you’re mine, intoxicating find
I sink my teeth, transformation signed
I sink my teeth in, you realign

Blood red, an anthem of the undead
Blood red, in this dance, we’re led

Blood red, yeah, I’ve been dead, dead and gone
Blood red, this endless dread lingers on
Blood red, a tale of dread, sung in every song

Blood Red

Lyrics:
Is the sentiment lost or am I just afraid?
It’s not as if I had a choice in the first place

Tragic passenger, unable to escape
The momentum of mistakes that I didn’t make
The momentum of mistakes that I didn’t make

Is the sentiment lost or am I just afraid?

Inherited inner dissonance
I lack the strength to end it all
And the will to live

I’ve lost so much
Fallen out of touch
Can’t close the door
Just fucking string me up

It’s like looking in an empty mirror
A ghost stands in my place
If instead I saw her
Fuck, I’d rather suffocate
Yeah!
Fuck, I’d rather suffocate

After everything I’ve been through
I’d suffer again to deserve you
I thought that I’d moved on
But now I see I’m burning
The fire in this house is too hot

Sleep in silence
And when you wake, you’re inside a garden grown to die in
This existence is exhausting
Let me fall asleep
Let me fall asleep

Always left unsure
Can’t share myself with you
Mend in isolation
It’s all I ever knew
In this moment I have to choose
To let myself begin or lose

Always left unsure
Can’t share myself with you
Mend in isolation
It’s all I ever knew
In this moment I have to choose
To let myself begin or lose
To let myself begin or lose

After everything I’ve been through
To let myself begin or lose

I thought that I’d moved on

Suffocate

Lyrics:
Who am I in your eyes?
A mystery, or just a phase to survive?
Traveled far, beneath starless skies,
Lost everything, yet I'm alive.
Countless attempts, each a silent cry,
You stood by, watching my demise.
Took all you could, never asking why,
Is this just another of your lies?

Here I wait, while you masquerade,
Pushing limits, a game overplayed.

So, how should I feel according to you?
In a world where truth never rang true.
From the start, I sensed the facade,
Back against the wall
A stranger to you, through and through.

Numbness has become my refuge,
Let the truth seep through,
In your presence, emptiness ensues.
What did you expect me to conclude?

Echoes of a past, not meant to last,
Seeking solace in shadows cast.
Yet in your gaze, I find no truth,
Just reflections of a misspent youth.

Seen as an enigma, or merely a test,
Each challenge, a quest to attest.
From the depths, I rose, battle-worn,
Bearing scars from the thorns you've sown.
Failed, yet learned,
You watched with eyes.
Everything's taken, my spirits torn,
In your silence, my heart was worn.

In limbo, I linger, your facade grows stronger,
But I can't play this part any longer.

What am I to feel, under your steer?
Our reality, that's unclear.
The illusion was always there,
Against the wall,
To you, I was never near.

In the end, we're strangers,
In your narrative, I was undefined.
Seeking truths in a lie
A specter, in your world.

What am I to feel, under your steer?
Our reality, that's unclear.
The illusion was always there,
Against the wall,
To you, I was never near.

In the end, we're strangers,
In your narrative, I was undefined.
Seeking truths in a lie.

Another of your lies

Lyrics:
I feel like I’m my own worst enemy
Every fight I face brings me to my knees
You shattered my heart, but the fault isn't yours
Just fighting alone in an unfamiliar war

Stuck in this limbo, can't find my way
The grass wasn't greener; it's all just decay
Should I take the risk or cut my losses instead?
Admit that I’m broken, too afraid to tread

The deepest wounds are slow to heal
The hardest part of letting go
Is holding on to the pain that’s real
‘Cause sometimes it’s all we have to show

I'm fighting to breathe, but I cling to the scars
In this holy hell where we’ve wandered so far
The fire’s still burning, but it’s hard to feel
By burying you, I buried what was real
I am fighting to breathe

You’ve got some nerve to keep running your mouth
Secrets that hurt more when they’re dragged out
But look who’s hiding now, with your head in the sand
Soon you’ll realize you've lost the upper hand

And believe me, it’s not easy to say
But all your lies are crumbling away
Promises shatter, they fade into dust
Trust is a weapon, a shield we misplace

The deepest wounds are hard to heal
The hardest part of letting go
Is holding on to what’s still real
‘Cause sometimes it’s all we have to show

I'm fighting to breathe, but I cling to the scars
In this holy hell where we’ve wandered so far
The fire’s still burning, but it’s hard to feel
By burying you, I buried what was real
I am fighting to breathe

If you could see through my eyes, the world I'd see
You’d feel the weight that’s suffocating me
We’ve searched for solace, afraid of the truth
We’ve built these walls so high
We've lost the sky

I'm fighting to breathe, but I cling to the scars
In this holy hell where we’ve wandered so far
The fire’s still burning, but it’s hard to feel
By burying you, I buried what was real
I am fighting to breathe

I am
I am
I am fighting to breathe

Fighting to Breathe

Lyrics:
You painted me the villain
But never faced the root of the pain
Took what you wanted, twisted the meaning
But you won't drag my name through the flames

There’s so much left unsaid, you left me for dead, I won’t forget
Now you’re next
Everyone’s watching now
And they see the truth somehow
You're not fooling the crowd

If you're throwing me to the lions
You should know I'm not afraid of dyin'
I wouldn’t take back
One thing I did, one word I said
But I’ll make you wish you did instead

You jump to conclusions, feeding their illusions
But you’d never dare try to stop ‘em
You're going low, but I won’t follow
The path you’ve carved is too hollow

There’s so much left unsaid, you left me for dead, I won’t forget
You’re on my list
Everyone’s watching now
And they see the truth somehow
You're not fooling the crowd

If you're throwing me to the lions
You should know I'm not afraid of dyin'
I wouldn’t take back
One thing I did, one word I said
But I’ll make you wish you did instead

I’m holding on to this
Until the scale’s untwisted
(Until it’s tilted, tilted, tilted, tilted)

You’ve pushed me to my limits
Now watch me tear down your lies

Everyone’s watching now
And they see the truth somehow
You're not fooling the crowd
But you’re pushing my limits

If you're throwing me to the lions
You should know I'm not afraid of dyin'
I wouldn’t take back
One thing I did, one word I said
But I’ll make you wish you did instead

If you're throwing me to the lions
You should know I'm not afraid of dyin'
I wouldn’t take back
One thing I did, one word I said
Oh God, I’ll make you wish you did

I wouldn’t take back
One thing I did, one word I said
But I’ll make you wish you did

Thrown to the Lions

Lyrics
3 AM, I'm lit, another night I can't remember
Burned a bridge last night, yeah, set it on fire like November
Head's spinning, no regrets, I've been living on the edge
'Cause every time I try to change, I just f**k it up again
I'm lost in the chaos, yeah, I thrive in the mess
Pull me from the wreckage, but I won't confess
We’re the ones screaming, middle fingers to the sky
Living fast, dying young, we don’t give a damn why
Every scar’s a story, every bruise a f**king sign
We’re the kings of the broken, and we wear it like a crime
Late nights, dark fights, I'm reckless by design
Crash and burn a thousand times, but still I'm feeling fine
No rules, no limits, I’m addicted to the pain
Cut me open, let me bleed, I’ll do it all again
We’re the ones screaming, middle fingers to the sky
Living fast, dying young, we don’t give a damn why
Every scar’s a story, every bruise a f**king sign
We’re the kings of the broken, and we wear it like a crime
I’m lost in this madness, yeah, I’m feeling alive
Don’t try to save me, man, I’m born to survive
All the demons in my head, they keep me awake
But I’ll keep on fighting till there’s nothing left to break
F**ked up again, and I don’t care
I’ll keep running wild till there’s no one there
Yeah, I’m f**ked up, but I’m not alone
This world’s a nightmare, but I’ll make it my home
