The Morning of My Martyrdom

RiverKinn
"PURGATORY"
Produced by @riverkinn

--------------------
They told me ignorance is bliss
Then showed me everything I missed
The taste of blood still on my lips
Is all I have to show for this
The angels all turned me away
Apologized that i can't stay
I watched them as they closed the gate
And left me there to meet my fate
They drove their nails into my wrists
Then dragged me down into the pit
Up to the throne on which he sits
I had no choice but to submit
The devil laughed right in my face
And told me this was not my place
I guess I lived with too much grace
Or I just take up too much space

Forsaken soul
I'm still unwanted in my death
So take me home
Find me the place that I can rest
Forsaken soul
I'm still unwanted in my death
So take me home
Find me the place that I can rest

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Purgatory
Purgatory
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

PURGATORY

RiverKinn
"SALEM"
Produced by @riverkinn

--------------------
You can't bear the weight of burden
On your porcelain collarbones
Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion
Feels so gorgeous all alone
The time has come for you to
See your sins in black and white
Draped in monochrome conversion
They will burn the witch tonight

Pitchforks and torches and bowmen on horses
And soldiers of fortune who cling to their pride
Nature divorces infallible sources
To burn down the fortress while you're still inside

Freedom in flame
Freedom in flame
All in your name
All in your name
Freedom in flame
Freedom in flame
All in your name
All in your name

Break the chains I've made
Give into desire
Take my pain away
And set me on fire

Where's my heaven?
I've had one hell of a year
Where's my salvation?
You promised me it'd be here
I guess you're nothing but a liar
Liar
You're so insincere
You've been nothing but a liar
Liar
Liar

Barbed wire crown, putting blood in the bleach
Got nails in my hands and my feet
And you don't want to know the way your favorite people behave
I've heard some shit I couldn't stand to repeat
Sweatband in the heat
I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't speak
Could've made ten grand in a week
I've been feeling like I'm walking on water
Yeah, it's really that deep
I hold a stick like a man with a sheep
I was born into the haves, but I speak for the have-nots
For anybody going through it, I'll be the mascot
I'm well aware that it's a pipedream just to think of the jackpot
When you've got bare feet on the blacktop
Yeah, I know it isn't much
But it's better than nothing
I told her that it wasn't up for discussion
I've been getting frustrated with the promise I'm breaking
I've been through hella head trauma
What's another concussion?

Where's my heaven?
I've had one hell of a year
Where's my salvation?
You promised me it'd be here
I guess you're nothing but a liar
Liar
You're so insincere
You've been nothing but a liar
Liar

"HOLYWATER"
Produced by @riverkinn

--------------------
Underground, underwater
Now I'm under fire
Another lamb to the slaughter
Had to wonder why
All they ever tried to feed me
Is another lie
The only time you worth something
When you fuckin' die
Resurrect and deflect
It had no effect
You can take another swing
But it won't connect
Overhead, over budget
That's an open threat
Yeah, what you see is what you get
No respect

A burdened mother and a broken father
Sacrificed the son and they sold the daughter
To the devil with the grin
Hidden underneath the skin
Look within
Try to wash away the sin

In the holy water
Let me drown in your holy water
Hold me down in your holy water
Let me drown in your holy water

Elementary school mascot
Bitch, I been a crusader
So anyone that pose a threat
Will get eliminated
I wanted saving, had to get creative
Thought if I confess about the coke on the dash
I'll be vindicated
Indoctrinated
I'm not what they wanted or waited for
And I was praying to God
But he never talk to David
Now I'm afraid
It's left me bitter and jaded
So I get faded
And way too intoxicated
To wash away

In the holy water
Let me drown in your holy water
Hold me down in your holy water
Let me drown in your holy water

Hold me down In the holy water
Let me drown in your holy water
Hold me down in your holy water
Let me drown in your holy water

I gotta get out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Feel like I've been going insane
When every day is the same

Yeah, I been there, done that, did it again
I came so far and I get no credit
I can't just keep giving in
I don't like where I see this headed
And I swear I'm gonna find a way
Yeah, I swear if I only got one more day

I put my walls up
You can see the fiberglass and the plaster
I crashed out
You could find me hung from the rafters
Lying to myself
No coke at the afters
Call me out my name
Yeah, I know I'm a bastard
I gave it all I had and wasn't up for the task
Deep down I guess I knew that I was stuck in the past
Now I know to you I'm just another puppet to master
In the image of a fucking disaster

Pull the strings of a sinner
I was such an easy target for you
All this trauma was a blessing
Decompressing everything I've been through
I keep praying, what can I do?

I gotta get out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Feel like I've been going insane
When every day is the same
I gotta get out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my head
I'm running
Out of my mind
Out of my head
I'm running
Feel like I've been going insane
When every day is the same

DISASTER

"RESOLUTION"
Produced by @riverkinn

--------------------
Oh God
What have I done?
An absent father made a petulant son
32 years living under the gun
I'm getting sick of trying to be what I could never become
And oh God
What do I do?
Wishing it was coming to me out of the blue
I need a resolution, I came up with a few
Cus every day I wake up I've got something to prove
Giving it up
I've gotta pick up the slack
I'm off track
Cognac turn the vision to black
And I've been trying to keep the past
Hidden under the mask
But with the devil on my back
It's a difficult task
Now you've got me caught in the act
You had me praying for an eggshell
Walking on glass
I tried to keep it all together
Cus I thought it would last
It's only greener on the side
That you water the grass

Cus all that I asked for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Attribute the guilt to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down
Cus all that I asked for
Is turning to ashes
When all of my passion
Crumbles around me
Attribute the guilt to
All that surrounds me
When everything comes down

There's nothing to die for
There's nothing to die for
