AfterLife 04:03
I’ve heard the rumors that the rumors all were true They may be looking for me but they’re coming for you I’ll paint a picture you can better understand They promise diamonds but they pay in sand It goes on and on and on and on and on It’s an old broken record stuck on the same song It goes on and on and on and on and on You all know it’s wrong but you’re singing along I don’t want to wait for heaven to change me I don’t wanna have to wait for the fall I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change things I don’t wanna wait, I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change this I don’t wanna have to fall on the knife Forever after, this disaster Bring the AfterLife You’d cut your nose off just to spite your fuckin’ face That’s who you are, you know your place You let them lead you by the throat with broken hands So how’s the view beneath their shoe and what’s your plan It goes on and on and on and on and on It’s an old broken record stuck on the same song It goes on and on and on and on and on We all know it’s wrong but we’re singing along I don’t want to wait for heaven to change me I don’t wanna have to wait for the fall I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change things I don’t wanna wait, I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change this I don’t wanna have to fall on the knife Forever after, this disaster Bring the AfterLife I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change me I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait for heaven I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait I don’t wait for heaven to save us I don’t wanna wait I don’t wait for heaven to save us I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait I don’t want to wait for heaven to change me I don’t wanna have to wait for the fall I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change things I don’t wanna wait, I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna wait for heaven to change this I don’t wanna have to fall on the knife Forever after, this disaster Bring the AfterLife Bring the AfterLife

It’s nights like this under a harvest moon It came too fast and it’s gone too soon A wilted rose and a frozen tomb A memory for the wind, anyways Anybody noticed that the sky is falling Are we all just happy in the rain Am I the only one who hears the sirens calling Am I The only one who feels the pain It’s Times Like These When the sorrow shadows all the laughter Times Like These When the hurt goes on and on forever Times like these I wanna fade away I read all the pages from left to right I took one in the morning and one at night A fire still burns but it’s cold inside And it’s all that I can do, anyway No one wants to talk about the end is coming Pointing fingers - handing out the blame If I gave you answers to all your questions Could you change or would you stay the same Cause it’s Times Like These When left is right and forwards backwards Times like these When days and nights just roll together Times Like These I wanna fade away Fade away Times like these I wanna fade away Cause it’s times like these When the sorrow shadows all the laughter Times Like These When it seems like nothing worse can happen Times like these I wanna fade away It’s times like these I wanna fade away It’s time like these In times like these It’s nights like this under a harvest moon it came too fast and it’s gone too soon A wilted rose and a frozen tomb A memory for the wind, anyways Anybody noticed that the sky is falling Are we all just happy in the rain Am I the only one who hears the sirens calling Am I The only one who feels the pain It’s Times Like These When the sorrow shadows all the laughter Times Like These When the hurt goes on and on forever Times like these I wanna fade away I read all the pages from left to right I took one in the morning and one at night A fire still burns but it’s cold inside And it’s all that I can do, anyway No one wants to talk about the end is coming Pointing fingers - handing out the blame If I gave you answers to all your questions Could you change or would you stay the same Cause it’s Times Like These When left is right and forwards backwards Times like these When days and nights just roll together Times Like These I wanna fade away Fade away Times like these I wanna fade away Cause it’s times like these When the sorrow shadows all the laughter Times Like These When it seems like nothing worse can happen Times like these I wanna fade away It’s times like these I wanna fade away It’s time like these In times like these

This will be the last tear I shed for you Some say they kill for god And some kill for sport The only difference makes no difference to me It just depends on what looks better in court Cause it’s a knock down drag out everybody bow down Sick and twisted game that you play There are no resolutions in the broken institutions Or the funny bloody money you crave This is the last tear This is the last time There was a time that I believed I could’ve changed it all Somebody got to me Somebody’s go to pay There was a time that I believed I could’ve changed the world Now I can’t now I don’t now I won’t So roll dem bones Puff your chest out at me Just what the fuck were you thinking I wrote the book on that shit Bound it backed it burned it all down I’m a bully beating reaper cheating super villain king of heathens Everything you know that you’re not You’re like a half wit parlor trick No one ever gave a shit I’m laughing on the day that you drop This is the last tear This is the last time There was a time that I believed I could’ve changed it all Somebody got to me Somebody’s go to pay There was a time that I believed I could’ve changed the world Now I can’t now I don’t now I won’t So roll dem bones

Do you remember when you said this wasn’t real Life was just a game we play and time was made to kill Do you remember when you said we never laughed You set me up for failure then you threw me in the trash I’ve forgotten how heavy you are You’re becoming so hard to hold on to No matter how far or how hard you fall I’ll be there to pick up behind you Do you remember how the pulse felt in my chest Or did you simply block it out, erase it like the rest Do you remember how your heart would never change You told me as you turned away and left me with the pain I’ve forgotten how heavy you are You’re becoming so hard to hold on to No matter how far or how hard you fall I’ll be there to pick up behind you I’ve forgotten how heavy you are You’re becoming so hard to hold on to No matter how far or how hard you fall I’ll be there to pick up behind you

You gotta watch for the shot Beware the ricochet Dance dance motherfucker Til the fat bitch sings You get one for the chamber Two for good health Know a little about evil And a lot about hell Playing ring around the daisies With a shotgun shell If you’re gonna take a life Better keep it to yourself Seems every time I think there’s a little bit of hope Someone comes out swinging With a deadman’s rope Damned if I do Damned if I don’t Damned if I will Damned if I won’t Doomed if I try Doomed if I fail Damn you all to hell I’m no angel I’m no savior And I’ve never been a saint Well I know I’m not the devil Cause I still can feel the pain Walk through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I’ll be sure to ask about it On my final Judgement Day Two tears in a bucket One down the drain Dance dance motherfucker Til the war drums play I know a little bout death Alot about pain I ain’t ever seen a storm That don’t end in rain Gotta pay the pied piper Every dog will have it’s day I don’t stress the mess It’s just all so cliche You can run around in circles But it always ends the same You’ll be swinging from the end Of a deadman’s chain Doomed if I do Doomed if I don’t Doomed if I will Doomed if I won’t Damned if I try Damned if I fail God Damn you all to hell I’m no angel I’m no savior And I’ve never been a saint Well I know I’m not the devil Cause I still can feel the pain Walk through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I’ll be sure to ask about it On my final Judgement Day Watch for the shot Motherfucker I’m no angel I’m no savior And I’ve never been a saint Well I know I’m not the devil Cause I still can feel the pain Walk through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I’ll be sure to ask about it On my final Judgement Day In my final resting place When I finally found my grace I’ll be sure to ask about it On my final Judgement Day

I wish someone would wake me Cause I can’t sleep at all Stuck in purgatory Waiting for the fall Auditioned all the endings I find it hard to tell Is it better to serve in heaven Or better to reign in hell Say my name And watch the fire grow Curse my name A demon gets it’s horns See my face The one behind my eyes I’m a son of a bitch - I’m as bad as it gets And I’ll be that til I die I wish someone would wake me Cause I can’t sleep at all Stuck in purgatory Waiting for the fall Auditioned all the endings I find it hard to tell Is it better to serve in heaven Or better to reign in hell You’ve never known pain before Cain before But I’m gonna show you You’ve never been drained before Shamed before But I’d love to share You’ve never know insane before Deranged before I’m here to show you I owe you nothing Feel my pain I bet you can’t relate Know my rage The one you instigate Hate this place The one in which you hide The devil I know or the devil I don’t I just can’t pick a side I wish someone would wake me Cause I can’t sleep at all Stuck in purgatory Waiting for the fall Auditioned all the endings I find it hard to tell Is it better to serve in heaven Or better to reign in hell You’ve never known pain before Cain before But I’m gonna show you You’ve never been drained before Shamed before But I’d love to share You’ve never know insane before Deranged before I’m here to show you I owe you nothing I wish someone would wake me Wake me up You’ve never known pain before Cain before But I’m gonna show you You’ve never been drained before Shamed before But I’d love to share You’ve never know insane before Deranged before I’m here to show you I owe you nothing I owe you absolutely nothing I owe you nothing

Cause I’m alright Thanks for asking There’s a million things I’d love to say But you don’t want to hear Yeah it’s alright I don’t need your blessings I’d rather face the wrath of angels Than the devil in the mirror I don’t think god is listening She told us to follow but left us behind I’ve never seen an angel But I know the devil and he told me I’m fine What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger That’s what everyone keeps telling me I’d rather capsize than chase an old horizon Throw me back into the deadest of seas I know that god is laughing She gave us our wings but never taught us to fly They say the end is coming And if that’s true well I don’t think I mind I always knew it would come to this Heaven or hell I can’t tell which is which I don’t think god is listening She told us to follow but left us behind I’ve never seen an angel But I know the devil and he told me I’m fine I know that god is laughing She gave us our wings but never taught us to fly They say the end is coming And if that’s true well I don’t think I mind Roll roll roll Keep on moving ahead Roll roll roll Guess I’ll sleep when I’m dead

Peel away the skin that hides your face Show me who you really are Underneath that broken smile you wear You’re twisted ugly and bizarre (Just like me) I’m tired of pretending that this isn’t ending I’m not sure which side of you I fear the most Enemy that is the tag you gave me I guess that makes me your favorite scar Enemy you pushed until I’m broken I’m what you made me A badge of Blood and Tar Crash and burn You’d think you’d learn Its almost like you love the pain See if you can’t have it then no one will You’re narcissistic and deranged (Just like me) There’s so much deception that we’ve lost reception I’m not sure which part of you I hate the most Enemy that is the tag you gave me I guess that makes me your favorite scar Enemy you pushed until I’m broken I’m what you made me A badge of Blood and Tar When we remember we are all mad The mysteries disappear and life stands explained Enemy that is the tag you gave me I guess that makes me your favorite scar Enemy you pushed until I’m broken I’m what you made me A badge of Blood and Tar

All I Know 05:11
I don’t think that I’m crazy Yeah but how would I know When the voices remind me That it’s all just for show Well I thought I had answers But the questions have changed It’s so hard to feel anything When I’ve only known pain You can cast me out And dig my hole Spit on my grave And curse my soul You can hold me down And not let go But the devil you fear Is all I know And the road that’s less traveled Well it’s all that I’ve known Every time I look backwards There’s still so far to go If I’m born to be broken Cold bloody and numb Tell me why am I running What am I running from You can cast me out And dig my hole Spit on my grave And curse my soul You can hold me down And not let go But the devil you fear Is all I’ve ever known As I sit here in silence All alone in myself Who the hell would believe me Better yet who’d I tell I can tell You can cast me out And dig my hole Spit on my grave And curse my soul You can hold me down And not let go (hands on my throat) But the devil you fear Is all I known

Gold Gutter 03:53
Aww shit you know what time it is Follow me down I’d like to thank the world - for failing me (Thank you all) I’d count the ways, but that’d take days And where would I begin (With you and you and you and you) I’d like to thank the bottom, for breaking me (I owe you one) And I’d like to thank the bible for sin A pound of flesh Won’t save your soul Save your breath Light the match And look out below Fingers to the sky They’re pointed at you Right at you motherfucker Eye on the prize Fist in the gold And a foot in the gutter I’d like to thank the world for blaming me (You and you and you) It is what is I did what I did to survive (I’m not ashamed) I’d like to thank you all for spitting on my grave I know it makes you sick but I’m alive (Still here) Alive A pound of flesh Won’t save your soul Save your breath Light the match And look out below Fingers to the sky They’re pointed at you Right at you motherfucker Eye on the prize Fist in the gold And a foot in the gutter This is my favorite part of the movie Naw I’m not fading to black This is where you fucking scream Bounce A pound of flesh Won’t save your soul Save your breath Light the match And look out below Fingers to the sky They’re pointed at you Right at you motherfucker Eye on the prize Fist in the gold And a foot in the gutter

The End 03:43
It’s hard to tell these days in which ways that we’re falling I’m not sure anymore what’s right or what is wrong It’s hurts to feel, to think, to know I may be nothing But then again I’ve been wrong before I’ve opened up my eyes Just to wish that I’d stayed blind Blacken out the sky And let the arrows fly It’s never over Not til it’s over Outside looking in When do the nightmares end Over and over Until it’s over The End It’s hard to fathom just how fast we all are spinning It’s hard to know that there’s a heaven beyond hell It burns a hole right through my soul to think it’s ending But then again, I’ve been right right before I’ve opened up my eyes Just to find out you’re all blind Blacken out the sky Let the arrows fly It’s never over Not til it’s over Outside looking in When do the nightmares end Over and over Until it’s over Make a wish Say a prayer Hope that someone is out there Build a bridge to Babylon Then burn it to the ground Burn it down Blacken out the sky Let the arrows fly It’s never over Not til it’s over Outside looking in When do the nightmares end Over and over Until it’s over Just start it over Until it’s over Over and over The End

This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be Let me go nigga - back up off me Dog got the cage - cats walk softly Talk real lightly - scared to bite me Scared to death to shoot me - scared to fight me In the street niggas just playin’ the wrong game Up in the real nigga face saying the wrong thing Real shit - this is how a dog get down Hands in the air whenever dog hit town I’m no angel - I’m no savior And I’ve never been a saint Well I know I’m not the devil Cause I still can feel the pain Walk through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I’ll be sure to ask about it Tell me Is this the way is the way it’s supposed to be?
