Cut it like the old days; Like you told me 
I don't wanna fucking see you missing
All the bloody memories; The perpetuity 
Loaded guns on the edge of insanity 
Take you with me
Fuck it, there's a better way 
An insecurity 
A demonology trapped in my psychology
Give it up for the man who made me 
This Sycophantic liar; hear me

Like violence; like father
Like silence; like mother
(I hope that you felt it)
A twisted step daughter
Lives ruined but no blood spilt
My god I hope you got to feel the guilt


The Guilt
The wasted seeds, the name you left behind
The Guilt
A bleeding scar, that wont heal with time.

Come on let me hear your excuse
Was one single family not enough to abuse?
Why not make it two? Why'd it have to be you?
The one to get so fucking lucky

Why'd it have to be you? 
Why I gotta bear your fucking name?
Like a cross on my back 
Cut it up and send it 
Back across the river where you wait for your 
Retribution
Why I gotta hear you? See you? Speak you? 
Fuck you
I'm waiting for the signal to come back across the river
So I can slash and beat you 

Like violence; like father
Like silence; like mother
(I hope that you felt it)
A twisted step daughter
Lives ruined but no blood spilt
My god I hope you got to feel the guilt

The Guilt
The wasted seeds, the name you left behind
The Guilt
A bleeding scar, that wont heal with time.

Down 

I want you to fucking hear me 
I want you to fucking hear me speak 

Say, you're father, you're mother, that you're anything to me
What the fuck is wrong? Did you do this? Did you see? 
Your patience is astounding; when you're leaving me
I'm broken hearted empty fucking look at me 
I'm swivelling, I'm squirming right beneath your teeth
I am one with the guilt you've been living with you see
Fire at will, or dear father listen to me 
I am the guilt,  the guilt that you seek
Seek 
Seek
Seek 
Seek

The Guilt
The wasted seeds, the name you left behind
The Guilt
A bleeding scar, that wont heal with time.

I'm done with the shame
I'm moving the blame 
The Guilt that you seek
Listen to me
Listen to me 
Listen to me

The Guilt

Fight 
The demons in my head the voices in my head they fight 

Bring me to the end of desecration
Turn it all back; hear what you said? 
Challenge me in a show of anger 
What you give is you get 

Partial to the side of justice 
Leaning towards the side of pain 
A memory of this old game 
Is burned into my God damn brain

Look into my eyes 
You've blown it 
Give up the false light X2 No 
Never scene a thing so broken
Give up the false light X2 go 
Move into the vision
Beyond the recognition
And swallow up your memories
Leave it with me 

36 months of tunnel vision
Strap on the reigns if it's just for show 
Even Without God by my side, 
I'm ready to go 

Toss it up to the fucking lies 
Of everything you had disguised 
Get it right the first time 
Or don't fucking try 

Partial to the side of justice 
Leaning towards the side of pain 
This is what you get, when you steal my life 
And burn my fucking name

Look into my eyes 
You've blown it 
Give up the false light X2 No 
Never scene a thing so broken
Give up the false light X2 go 
Move into the vision
Beyond the recognition
And swallow up your memories
Leave it with me 

Name 
Can't give it up; can't change my 
Fate 
Twisted beyond broken so much 
Pain 
When you see my face 
When you see my name 
Insane 
Give up the false light 

Look into my eyes 
You've blown it 
Give up the false light X2 No 
Never scene a thing so broken
Give up the false light X2 go 
Move into the vision
Beyond the recognition
And swallow up your memories
Leave it with me

The False Light

Lyrics:
I say
We're all the fucking the same
There's no one left to bame
You can't tell the difference between you and
Me
Is all that separates
A simple skin tone or a difference of faith?
What the fuck is anything you gotta fucking clarify your meaning for the hundredth time
A number on that paper; sign it on the dotted line?

(On the dotted line?)

Stars
That lead below
Down to the darkest depths
Of what we call home
(Can you hear them in the cracks now?)
Find
A shred of proof
A simple logical fallacy to hold your truth
(Can you hear yourself?)
(Can you hear yourself?)


Step inside a future where the present isnt evergreen
(Look around you see your life incoming)
Moving at a speed that is designed by bearacey
(Step aside, your all washed up youre nothing)
A trashed up dirty view of what's it's like to be human
A simple bad apple could ruin the movement
So step aside and realize that you're the problem with my life
And I would happily give every thing I have to
Shut you up

(Oh my God)

Stars
That lead below
Down to the darkest depths
Of what we call home
(Can you hear them in the cracks now?)
Find
A shred of proof
A simple logical fallacy to hold your truth
(Can you hear yourself?)
(Can you hear yourself?)

Stars
That lead below
Down to the darkest
The darkest
The darkest depths of what we know

100,000 people die and you don't fucking bat an eye
But if we take you're money you're gonna grab and fucking twist the knife

I don't wanna hear it
Why dont you listen?
I don't wanna hear it
Why don't you listen?
I don't wanna hear it
Just for once listen to your fucking lies

Listen to your lies
No more fucking time
Your policy of mutiny has crossed the fucking line

Stars
That lead below
Down to the darkest depths
Of what we call home
(Can you hear them in the cracks now?)
Find
A shred of proof
A simple logical fallacy to hold your truth
Your truth

Hear Yourself

Coming off a grounded pain; A silent name
(Do You want it)
Looking to the edge of abstract misery
(Well You got it)
Pushed beneath the waves of founding fathers grace
(Do You want it)
A mourning country plagued by our own fate
(now You're crawling)

Fly
Into the depths
You got the anger, the violence, the passion, the nihilist

Fly
From misery
Run
Towards tragedy

You want it
You want it
You wanna fight for your dead king

I dont wanna save the martyr's
Put the shame away and replace with fame
(I guess now you get it)

I don't wanna lose the meaning
Now your words are here to playcate the shame
(Now our lives will never be the same)

We'll never be the same
Oh god

What am I? I lost cause; liar?
A snowflake burried under pounds of black powder?
What I wouldn't give to sit with you on one
And listen to your words and fucking see your sun
But I'll never get the chance to
You'll put a bullet in me before I see the real you
What you got coming is much worse though, when your future arrives your arrogance will be

Eter-fucking-nal
What is this world?

I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Fight for your dead king
I Don't want it
I dont't want you

I dont wanna save the martyr's
Put the shame away and replace with fame
(I guess now you get it)

I don't wanna lose the meaning
Now your words are here to playcate the shame
(Now our lives will never be the same)

Follow me, follow me
Let's see what lays behind your pain

Finally, Let's gouge those eyes out
And see if there's a brain behind your name
Finally, we see what's been made of you
What a dissapointment

I dont wanna save the martyr's
Put the shame away and replace with fame
(I guess now you get it)

I don't wanna lose the meaning
Now your words are here to playcate the shame
(Now our lives will never be the same)

I'll find it
I'll find it
I'll find it
I've found it
I've found you're resting place

I'll find it
I'll find it
I'll find it
I've found it
I've found you're resting place
(Do you get it?)

Follow Me

Drowning; finally breathing
Finally, finally
Finally

I tried to run away but 
You caught the smallest bit of skin
Its like a birthright, fighting for the evidence of life
I can't believe what you've done
How far your cards had to fall
It's like your moving beyond. 
What's left in the end afterall?

How to find your own enemy?
Trace the steps back properly 
Move into a mindset
With no closure
What's the meaning of certainty?
When the waves of doubt come crashing over
Crashing Over

A moment 
One moment
Trapped in time; I see her face
No escape 
A moment 
One moment 
Not long but just one momemnt
Beneath the crashing waves of fear 
They wash over
They wash over me
Wash over me 

I cant begin to believe 
What you had once done to me 
You vile hatred for me 
leaves no boundaries
It seems your causes are blue
And all causeways shut too
I want to hear you fucking say youre sorry (you're sorry)

How to find your own enemy?
Trace the steps back properly 
Move into a mindset
With no closure

A moment 
One moment
Trapped in time; I see her face
No escape 
A moment 
One moment 
Not long but just one momemnt
Beneath the crashing waves of fear 
They wash over
They wash over me
Wash over me 

Finally

What else have I done?
What else can I say?
What else will you do?
How else can you pay?

A moment 
One moment

A moment 
One moment
Trapped in time; I see her face
No escape 
A moment 
One moment 
Not long but just one momemnt
Beneath the crashing waves of fear 
They wash over
They wash over me

Wash over me 

Wash over me

Wash Over Me
