Eyes wide open, head held high
Looking back at what you held inside
Left in the dark, everyone you know
With no way to take back what's been lost
Eyes wide open, head held high
With the odds all stacked against you
Or so things they may seem
The truth, the answers
We seek to find
Shattered remnants of who we once knew
Juxtapose both positions
Tell me is it better off this way
Brush my teeth with shards of broken glass
I swear I don't feel a thing anymore with silence on your end
This is what we're left with
So many questions now left unanswered
Mouthful of dirt we choke on the air we breathe
Mouthful of dirt we choke on the air we breathe
Pass on the silence of soul tainted by the trigger
A darkness has stepped in its place
Oddly it resembles your face
But I can’t justify feeling this low ever again

Calluses on his hands tell the tales of the glory that once fell in this town and never shall stand here again
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Step outside your boundaries and it only takes one time
Rest assured
I may just
Click off safe and clarify what'll happen after this life
After life
Sometimes I wake up in my sleep
Sweating every single night
Every bit of me is still terrified
Because even on the brightest days
The darkness can still overcome
When everything is shining bright
I'm far gone
Nail me to a fucking cross
Bang! Bang! Go the hammers
The nails are pressing through my skin
Make me your martyr
Make me your martyr
I am my own product of meaningless deception
Inside my head is where I've kept their bodies
Cross the fields when you get through
Don't tell me that I'm alive

Oh get down on my level
It feels so good with the sun on your face
Let the marks around your eyes let everyone know just where you've been
Because your knowledge without experience is worth nothing at all
More there is more that must be done
Hiding behind an address with a company name
You can keep your cowardice for someone who buys the lie
Don't piss on me and tell me that it's rain
Look me in the eye
Consume the poison
I know that you won't
Consume the poison
Every goddam day
Until over and out again
This will go on forever and you'll take more of me every time
Every goddamn day
The noose on my neck gets tighter
Kill myself just to get by?
Suffer just to suffer

Let's see what's behind the veil
A culmination of stories we create
The dirt can bury the truth for so long
Before the worms will come crawling to the surface
So glad you came
We've been expecting you for sometime
Gone are the days
And I will not be denied
I see through your facade
All the pain, all the spite, it's the mask you hide behind
All the pain, all the spite, it's the mask
These are my last words for you
Every knife you put in me showing what I always knew
And I expect nothing less
Is sleight of hand the rule?
We dig the graves that we lie in when we're all born to lose
This distance we have covered in the past is all behind us and there is no sign of a future
Go
So glad you came
We've been expecting you for sometime
Gone are the days
And I will not be denied
These are my last words for you
Every knife you put in me showing what I always knew
And I expect nothing less
Is sleight of hand the rule?
We dig the graves that we lie in when we're all born to lose

Point your shaking fingers in every direction
When your voice can't carry loudly enough
It's a problem and we're all guilty
Denying our reflection
Make believe you're all at fault
Never willing to acknowledge your roll
Change the pictures yet the story stays the same
Whatever it takes to quiet your soul
Sit back, relax, it doesn't exist if it's not your fault
But bit by bit you try to understand
Contemplating what you're unwilling to come to terms with
You, me, everyone, the verdict reads the same
You know what that sound means?
When you hear that train coming, get off the fucking tracks
Fire away
Judging others with nothing to gain
But another reflection of your deep-seated shame
Did you think that you could fool them all?
You can't even fool yourself
Our sentence is where we all come to grips and start again, start again
Fire away

Full circle agony shall persist consuming the ones we love
His voice sounds so familiar
It's my turn to keep you protected from now on
I would take your place in an instant
No I won't let you down again
I won't let you be punished for what wasn't your fault
Worthless, I have never felt more worthless
Than I do now
We can't fight this forever
We can only hold this off for so long
Oh you will take everything from me
Again
Once, twice, three times wasn't enough?
I will see it through that you are exterminated
When will there be an end to this
To your existence?

The ripened fruit had fallen before their insides began to rot
And all of the pesticides could leave their skin looking brand new
You have to take a bite to really know what's going on
I won't let you take me down that path
As long as there's a breath in me
It's just another pill
To make you feel good again
I have seen the things that you'll fall for when you're living on your knees
This time I'm getting back up
And I won't accept defeat
Is this what we've come for?
Is this all that we know?
The worst is yet to come
But I'm not dying today
I've seen what you've done
To those around me and the ones that I've cared for
I won't let you take me down that path
As long as there's a breath in me
From now on I refuse to be a victim
I refuse
