These are the last words I’ll address to you Seven years of agony You’ve put me through Constantly treating me Like I was the enemy While we were on the same team I guess we were never on the same page I’m glad you’re gone Thank God you’re gone This is the last time You’ll ever hear from me Your negative attitude Is what led you astray Wasted all your potential Settling for mediocrity You said you had responsibilities More like different priorities I’m glad you’re gone Thank God you’re gone I can’t believe You almost made me quit Fortunately I stayed And made the best of it Since we’ve parted ways Life’s never been easier Since we’ve parted ways Every day I grow stronger I’m glad you’re gone Thank God you’re gone

I can’t think I’m being distracted all the time I can’t set my head straight I need to ease my mind Give me what I need I don’t even know what I need Day by day I forget how to feel bored And use it to fuel my brain To come up with ideas of my own I feel like I’ve seen it all before Pull me away Feed me with more useless trends Do I need to cope with reality? Or do I need to escape Pull me away Instant gratification Ruling a generation We need a call to action I can’t think I’m being distracted all the time I can’t set my head straight I need to ease my mind Give me what I need I don’t even know what I need Pull me away

Old Wounds 04:08
All I wanted was to give you All I had, all my life But still somehow it wasn’t enough And still right now, I’m having it rough I wish I could forget everything we’ve missed I know I should move on from all of this Can’t you see when you look in my eyes Something’s off, I’m paralyzed I wish I could forgive as fast As you swept away your past But I can’t put mine away It made me who I am today Turns out that I’m just like you We’re only different in the way we grew Now I’m giving all my life To spinning wheels and flashing lights And I’ll never look back again Broken kids make unbreakable men I wish I could forget everything we’ve missed And clear my head from things that I can’t fix I should move on from all of this I forgive you It fucking pains me But I forgive you In fact I owe you every breath I take You’re in my blood in every move I make I know forgetting won’t set me free These wounds define who I am, and I’ll bear em forever with me And now I can forget everything we’ve missed And now I can move on from all of this

The Roach 03:03
I see you crawling Creeping from cracks and crevices I don’t know what you expect from me I’ve never made any promises You’ve got me cornered I’m hanging by a thread You never seem to be bothered That you fill me with dread I wanna run for cover Every time I see your face No room for cover When you’re in my space I wanna run for cover Every time I see your face No room for cover When you’re in my space I feel your presence everywhere It’s draining all my energy I can’t even tell If it’s a dream or reality You’re always in my head Is it ever gonna end? I’m going out of my mind Yeah, I swear I’m losing it How can I get rid of you? Should I Stomp you, squash you or bomb you Periplaneta Americana Bomb with chemicals, toxic chemicals I see it’s your world I’m only part of it I know it’s your world I surrender
5.
You wanna take my freedom? Yeah, wanna take it away I’m just starting to blossom So you should call it a day A patient predator I stick to the plan Slow executioner Your fate is in my hands I’ll hit when you least expect it In fact it is already happening And you won’t escape it You just can’t escape me You wanna take my freedom? Yeah wanna take it away I’m just starting to blossom So you should call it a day Better watch your back Cause you won’t see me coming Your future is painted in black Don’t you know you’re slipping? Like the garrotte that advocates fear I’ll choke the life out of you Like the king snake standing near Alive I’ll swallow you It’s nothing personal But it has to happen Fruit of the egocentric nation You were born rotten With every move I make I’m slowly digging your grave But you keep clinging You keep making mistakes But as much as I’d want to scatter your ashes To every corner of the earth, your time isn’t now Don’t die yet You’re like oil on the fire Don’t die yet I’ll be the one to let you know when you’re over

Hate Routine 02:40
This morning I woke up just to hate you To look you, look you straight in the eye I’m the only person you can’t fool I’ve known you all my life Yeah, blaming others is easy It puts your issues away But take a look around and see No one can help you change No one can help you change No one can help you Quit running away You’re done being a failure You’re on your own in this There’s no one to save you Quit running away You’re done being scared Burry the child within And turn into a man You complain about what you’ve got But never work for what you need So used to justify your actions Guilt is something you no longer feel You wish you could switch life in a blink But the mountain of torments is too high Everyone has got their own demons There’s no remedy but efforts and time I turn my back on the mirror I’m going on with my day Said all I had to now I’m over I turn my back on the mirror I guess I’ll hate you forever At least until tomorrow morning

Big Red 02:45
She’s a vicious, selfish, maniac Once you’re rolling with her, there’s no turning back Always on the move Going from town to town Make sure you’ve got what it takes, when she comes to get down She’s making heads spin everywhere she goes The second you see her, man you already know A tough one like that won’t take shit from fools She’s seen it all before, and she’s got nothing to lose She’s been with numbers of men, tore em all apart Big velvet purse full of broken hearts Don’t get too close, she’ll get in your head One day you’re living the dream, the next you wish you were dead The fairy tale turns to nightmare Caught at my own game, I thought I’d be in control She played me just like she played every men Made me fall for her then ripped my heart and soul Do it! I can’t believe I used to complain About her, smoking cigarettes and snorting cocaine But now she’s gone and I lost her track Man I’d do anything to have her back Now she’s gone and my world turned grey I wake up in sweat every night, screaming her name I’ll move on with my life like you’ve never existed Until we meet again

You’re the only one Who knows what’s best for you Fuck what the others say Fuck everything they do It’s your story You’ve got to write it your way Chipping away at your dreams Is what will keep you sane Do what you want kid! Do what you want Don’t let anyone Make you think you’re wrong If you feel it inside Don’t ever compromise Just stay strong Look straight ahead And you’ll be at peace When crows circle around your bed One thing’s for sure I’ve waited way too long To start listening to myself Please learn from my mistakes Even I might end up jaded And try to pull you down Be who you want to be Do what you have to Do what you want kid Love who you want kid Say what you want kid Because you won’t live forever
10.
The voices in my head Like a thorn in my side Making me doubt my decisions Slowly killing my drive Face first in the gutter No longer searching to thrive Doing what the others expect from me I’m rotting from the inside Rotting from the inside I’ve spent so much time Trying to find myself Repressing what I felt To fit with everyone else I guess I was scared to fail Scared to be alone Scared to take my dreams seriously Scared of the unknown I need to step back up I need to shake myself For the time I have left I can’t keep holding my breath It’s crazy how I had to reach the lowest the lows And feel the presence of death at close range To start making a change FUCK Nothing can stop me now
