A Bolt From The Blue

I am flawed, I am flawed, I am flawed
I am
A bolt from the blue
I lost my temper again
Raised my voice
Trying to bring you down
Oh what a shame
Said things I didn’t mean
I can’t even remember why a made a scene
Dispute is a recurrent theme
When you’re living for a dream
If I had nothing to lose
I’d be a dangerous man
Solving his problems with the back of his hand
If I had nothing to lose
I’d be dangerous!
I’m too aware of the consequences
Like the blade of a box cutter
I just snap, snap, snap, snap
Always sharp
I’ll tear you apart
When I snap, snap, snap, snap
Like the blade of a box cutter
I just snap, snap, snap, snap
And it tears me apart
A bolt from the blue
It’s not worth it
I should know by now
But sometimes, I just don’t know how
Not to give in to my violent tendencies
I can’t give in
I can’t give in to my violent tendencies

You’re all staring at the same sun,
it’s a losing bet
But I’m telling you we’ve crossed that bridge,
we’re not turning back
Our definition of success,
you’ll never understand
The burning desire to mean a thing,
it’s not what this is
We’ll feast on the crumbs till a grave’s got our names on it
It’s an uphill battle, there’s no denying it
You get put down and down and down and down,
it’s like it never ends
And it may all be gone in the blink of an eye,
that’s simply how it is
We’ll keep on screaming through the walls,
cause we can’t think like this
We’ll feast on the crumbs till a grave’s got our names on it
Painted myself in a corner
I’ll close these doors
Limit my options
Tell me otherwise
Conscious, unconscious
We’ll feast on the crumbs till a grave’s got our names on it
Everything we’ve built so far comes from a sheer will to fight

Boiler Suit

The walls are finally closing in on me
And it’s only getting harder to breathe
I’m suffocating
Stuck in one place
For what seems like a lifetime
I’m working for pay
Already spent, it’s already gone
I won’t sleep for days
Shovelling coal in the furnace of time
And I’m smashed by the weight
Of all that pressure. I don’t live, I survive
Can’t stop to bite the bait
My sweat amounts nothing
I may have got it all wrong
I hate that I’ve been making bad decisions for way too long
I feel like I’ve seen nothing
Past the tip of my nose
I hate that I’ve been making bad decisions for way too long
I refuse to spend my days without a purpose
There must be a better way cause I am sick and tired of being rushed and nervous
I feel like I’ve seen nothing
Past the tip of my nose
I hate that I’ve been making bad decisions for way to long

The Golden Dog

A golden dog
Gnawing at my bone
In so doing I rest alone
A time will come that has yet to be
When I bite back, he who has bitten me
I’ll never understand
Was this, your idea of being a man?
A lowlife charlatan
Bullying a child
Instead of holding his hand
I was in no position to make demands
And you had no intention of making amends
So, I had to suffer through it all
Deep down, I knew someday you’d fall
Your time will come to an end
I eat, I sleep, I breathe revenge
I eat, I sleep, I breathe
I never wished ill on anyone
But you deserve the special treatment
I remember everything,
Every time you came by, how small you made me feel
You should beware if I’m silent
You should beware if I stare at you
I’m sure you think you’re in the clear now
That’s where you’re making a mistake
We’re not done
Your time will come to an end
Once I come up with a plan
Your time will come to an end
My fangs will break your skin
A golden dog
Gnawing at my bone
In so doing I rest alone
A time will come that has yet to be
When I bite back, the fucker who’s bitten me
The fucker who’s bitten me

Ghost Town Down

Ghost town’s down
Just look around
The city woes I can live without
My ghost town’s down
Into the ground
Pushing up daisies
Not a sound
Never been a people person
Never felt at ease in a crowd
Always looking for excuses
Just to be left alone
So, I could think out loud
Well, I got what I wished for
And it’s nothing as I dreamed
Been locked up in my room for a year now
Alone gazing at a screen
Isolate me
The city woes I can live without
Isolate me
Pushing up daisies
Not a sound
I need to make a connection
I need some type of connection

I don’t owe you shit
It’s always been, will always be about yourself
Let’s not pretend you care about anyone else
Spent our time on the sidelines
Not asking for help
While you were flashing my name around
Trying to get some credit for my work
Knowing well that I wouldn’t agree
Then you’re acting out cause I wanna leave
You’re as shady as they come
Begone
It’s always been, will always be about yourself
Let’s not pretend you care about me
Or anyone else
I don’t owe you shit
On the other end of the line, white knuckles, clenched teeth
Can’t believe I remained calm, no one talks to me like this
On the other end of the line, white knuckles, clenched teeth
Can’t believe I remained calm
Watch your tone
No one talks to me like this
Get this into your thick skull
I don’t owe you shit

It's Hard To Have Hope
by Svalbard
supported by 5 fans who also own “The "Shoe Knife" EP”
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again.
