Disorder 03:10
Guess we fell into the arms of another Love is war and we fight from the borders Death danger imperfect lovers Life is chaos but we love disorder I've gotta get my black out back in Feel like they're tryna take my life away No sense when the nonsense begin Nomad train of thoughts, a runaway I put the d in damning Live on to condemn another day Twisted by the misfit within I paint the whole world black and Grey No balance in the game of life we play Lost my mind like pigs in a getaway Nothing feels functional in this world Guess we fell into the arms of another Love is war and we fight from the borders Death danger imperfect lovers Life is chaos but we love disorder Still singing about chaos and sin Even though the days stay dark we say Positive mental attitude still wins If your life is stuck in the disarray Let the imbalance cause balance within Find the route internally to get away You'll find that your anchor can swim This vessel still floats on a stormy day No peace when the pieces break away Lost my cool like ice on a sunny day The book may be burning but the story's still told Guess we fell into the arms of another Love is war and we fight from the borders Death danger imperfect lovers Life is chaos but we love disorder

Bad Man 05:10
Never thought I'd be the villain Never thought I'd be the bad bad man In this story I'm unforgiven Just waiting round for the hangman Down the road There's a place that I don't wanna go But I'm sure It's something I must face alone Letting go is something that I've never been good at And it hurts my scars to hold the rope Forgiveness has it's limits I can't forgive myself Damages caused to others Chaos to everyone else I'm just dying to make a living Clutching onto whatever comes this way Tears I'm crying cause my slipping Blacking out almost every day now I'm a mess I confess my uselessness Upon this deathbed I've slept in for some time now Can't shake this feeling that another me is watching And judging every single move I make somehow I'm cursed no one can lift this You can't redeem yourself Bystanders and witnesses No escape from this hell Father forgive me For I have sinned Like a lamb to the slaughter I'm the the son who cannot swim And I drown in the baptism The water turns to blood The devil brought the pleasure But now God's brought the flood Father forgive me For I have sinned Like a lamb to the slaughter I'm the the son who cannot swim And I drown in the baptism The water turns to blood The devil brought the pleasure But now God's brought the flood Father forgive me For I have sinned

I sell my body for a living at night I traveled for days just to sell my life Lost track of railway lines lost track of time Now I sell my body for a living at night Blue collar, black heart, and a hi-vis vest Dark circled eyes just like the rest Minimum wage for maximum return My luck is currency and my fatigue is earned I can't wait to bring home the winter Can't wait to bring the cold back with me Kept warm by months of body aches Because money grows on concrete and not on trees I sold my body for a living at night Looking forward to a return flight Lost love and sanity, but it was never mine So I sold my body for a living at night My brain got better just for a while Until the world became strobe lights I could feel auras but not quite that kind After I sold my body for a living at night And I brought back the winter I brought all the cold back with me Kept warm by convulsing body There's happy endings for everyone but me The creatures of the night shift Shape shifting creature of the light fits Shift slaving creatures to the right its Just the creatures of the night shift Shape shifting creature of light fits Shift slaving creatures to the right its Just the creatures of the night Shape shifting creature of the light fits I sold my body for a living at night Sold my body for a living at night

Sometimes it feels like I’m gonna drown in all my tears But that’s okay because they taste so sweet to me And lately I’ve been looking back upon all of the years I’m stuck tripping over potholes still in the streets Are we still wasting all our precious time Each day the sun rises only one time A new year comes and memories pass me by Before I know it I’m back flying across the sky A new life is waiting Hey friend I thought I’d let you know I’m doing just fine I know you’re watching me from heaven Laughing at my drunk ass in the sunshine Falling back over again it’s what I get For never learning lessons just like you never did And we still reminisce about when we were kids I see you in my dreams every now and then Hey friend, thanks for popping in I’ll see you again I moved back to the ocean with some big promises Of dipping my body in the water everyday But I haven't quite lived up to what I said Sometimes I forget all the promises that I’ve made But I still promise you that I will live this life for two When you passed I did what you would have want me to I got family and love and all that’s real and true And I’m sure they all miss you as much I still do But a new life is waiting Hey friend I thought I’d let you know I’m doing just fine I know you’re watching me from heaven Laughing at my drunk ass in the sunshine Falling back over again it’s what I get For never learning lessons like you never did And we still reminisce about when we were kids I see you in my dreams every now and then Hey friend, thanks for popping in I’ll see you again I’ll see you again I’ll see you again I’ll see you again I’ll see you again
