I just can't find what's right for me
In this never-ending sea
Of deceptive hands and hypocrisy
I guess I'll just stay on my path
On my self-constructed raft
The water's seeping in
Watch friends drown then learn to swim
Coz this water's way too deep for me
And I'm suffocating
I can't breathe
It must be hard to find yourself
Trying to be somebody else
Can't believe you're all so fake
It took some time for me to see
I wanna be no one but me
Feels good to be so free
Undead G ain't nuthin ta fuck with
Please excuse my cold and bitter frown
I learned to swim by watching others drown
There's a beach, boys
Tell me what you see, boys
I see decoys
Oasis at sea
Please excuse my cold and bitter frown
I learned to swim by watching others drown

Carling, My Darling

I wish I could be with you all the time
Wish you could be always only mine
The government's trying to keep us apart
By pushing up the price of alcohol
Wish I could be with you every day
Whenever I want to see you, they make me pay
I think I'm finally coming out as gay
For you, Carling
Well, one day I was drinking down by the railroad track
Chilling with the skelms and some friends that never called back
Someone whipped out a case of pretty fuckin good beer
Became the only beer to ever throw away my fears
Carling, my darling
Black Label
Carling, my darling
Awe, ma se kind
Well, I've had some pretty good times
With this yellow Jesus
It takes the worries off my mind
You better believe it
One beer, two beer, three beer, one case more
Can't stop drinking til' you're on the floor
Beer, no more wanting to rewind
Get drunk, fast forward to the good times
Carling, my darling
Black Label
Carling, my darling
Awe, ma se kind

In My Sleep

Something is wrong
I can't sleep at night
When darkness engulfed the sky
It also took my heart and mind
Toss and turn, nothing feels right
Clock is ticking, mind is racing
This could go on 'til daylight
I'll find my peace of mind
Piece of puzzle that I'll find
Will fit into it's rightful place
Within due time
When the sky swallows the sun
And the light of day is done
That vicious cycle
Repetition
Don't you remember days that are now gone
Memories are fading like the setting sun
I'm reminiscent seven days a week
I dream nostalgia in my sleep
Stormy skies and major chords collide
Melodies and words together
Truthful feelings cannot hide
Dopamine, natural high
Mother natures gifts, endorphins
Crystal clear and starry skies
You'll find your peace of mind
Piece of puzzle that you'll find
Will fit into it's rightful place
Within due time
When the sky swallows the sun
And the light of day is done
That vicious cycle
Repetition
Don't you remember days that are now gone
Memories are fading like the setting sun
I'm reminiscent seven days a week
I dream nostalgia in my sleep
Darkness grows
Sleep unknown
Feelings cold but
You're not alone

We're the Youth

If I think I'm free
They won't be coming for me
Sing out of tune
And they'll be coming for you
The men in black have come to take me away
I spoke too much about a social change
It's dystopic and it's right outside your door
It's poverty, it's police
It's money, it's war
Its so damn hard to break your shackles and your chains
It's made more difficult by the pains of yesterdays
Left to conjure revolutionary schemes
A mean to attain all these utopian dreams
Left to think about how easy it would be
If i fed you and you fed me
It's dystopic and it's right outside your door
It's poverty, it's police
It's money, it's war
Skank it up now
This lack of action's not okay
You're on our side or in our way
Now I see what it takes to be free
No more money and no more greed
We are the youth
We'll bring the change for better days
It's dystopic and it's right outside your door
It's poverty, it's police
It's money, it's war

Step Away
02:30
|

Burn outs with raging fires
Inside of them for life
Diseased by their addictions
struggle and sacrifice
No mercy for their substance
Abstinence the only key
On-wards to the new tomorrow
This is recovery
Your blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away
Blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away
I just can't see the ocean
If the water is but a blur
And I can't take in the beauty of life
The birds are never heard
Each sunset now a painting
Not a call to intoxication
This is you truly free
This is recovery
Your blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away
No blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away
I came here to change some things
One of them is myself
This bridge is for both you and I
As a way out of this hell
Your blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away
Blurry nights, forgotten days
Step away
No more regret, no more mistake
Step away

Tampered Rope
05:42

Never thought that it would come to this
But did you just bid farewell with an ice cold kiss
To everyone and everything
That you knew throughout your life
Most gut-wrenching painful of all goodbyes
In an abnormal world where normality begins at death
You just hope you don't choke on your last final breath
You can say one last fuck you
To all the people that have tried to
Bring others down in every single way
And they talk shit behind your back
They say that you'll never get better anyway
Fucking lil bitch, say that shit to my face
I'm moving forward, leaving your ass behind
Get lost, gimme my peace of mind
This self love and self care aint no crime
I got no time for your bullshit
I'm looking after mine
I fell into a black hole
And down here, it's peaceful and quiet
You're selling tampered rope
Bullshit's all I hear, I won't fucking buy it
I know your games you play
Bullshit, liar, two-face
I know the things you do
No one is true
Everyone's out to get you, it's true
So the only motherfucker that you can trust is you
Truth hurts and reality burns
So every scar becomes a new lesson learned
And I don't wanna go around repeating myself to these kids
Go get your shit together like I did
Or perhaps go find some sort of purpose in life
You revolve your existence around mine
Now, people will lie, steal, cheat, and betray you
Until nothing is left but that bottle beside you
One day it will be your last sip
You pick the gun up, load one in the clip
Perhaps then in death, you will see
That this world has no fuckin mercy
I guess you knew that already
Your brains painted the walls like mosaics and confetti
I fell into a black hole
And down here, it's peaceful and quiet
You're selling tampered rope
Bullshit's all I hear, I won't fucking buy it
I know your games you play
I'll smash your poker face
I know the things you do
No one is true
Fuck it up
Fake ass
Liar
Fake ass
You lie
I fell into a black hole
And down here, it's peaceful and quiet
You're selling tampered rope
Bullshit's all I hear, I won't fucking buy it
I know your games you play
Bullshit, liar, two-face
I know the things you do
No one is true
