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

Breach 03:35
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
4.
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
8.
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?
9.
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
