Blood 02:38
lyrics
I'm at the same rock bottom. I'd like to say Iv'e never been here before. I'm always cut short on the dedication- no inspiration to put this down. Give me some patience, I just need some patience to get up and get out. They say it's all in the blood, Well I can say I'm not the same as I once was.x2 It's crawling under my skin x3 Give me a reason- just give me a reason, to pull myself back together. x2 Iv'e put this off for way too long. And all the while, I say I'll change. But when do my words ever mean anything? The guilt to live- it sets in. I'll never be the same. I'll take what I can To build not to blame. Blood don't change a man, Unless the blood is on his hands. Won't give up the fight, Unless the bottom half's full of sand.

Copycat (feat. Caleb Corrill) 02:56
lyrics
Rich man, hey rich man give me some help here I am a black cat that no one should fear I come from stories you've heard long ago But I play the part that nobody knows. I am a copycat from the past From when you were younger but you didn't last I'm reeling back to give you a sign Your heart black as fur, eyes slit more than mine. You want the reason why you're still alive? Iv'e been lenient you've been biding your time The night's coming close when you're gonna find Your days will be over, can't run and can't hide. Can't stop can't stop to breathe I can tell you this You can take it from me I'd hate to see this happen So change your actions now Can't stop can't stop to think I can tell you this You can take it from me I'd hate to see this happen So change your actions- Cold hands and dead men are burdening me Fathers and daughters are burdening me Tragedy-blasphemy burdening me This fucking planet is burdening me I am the face of what you don't believe in So try and cast me out I am the face of what you don't believe in So try and send me out I took an oath with you I sang along with you But you killed it in your hands x2 (Caleb's Verse) You think you wear that golden crown? I'm about to turn your world upside-down Change the polls with those bullet holes I took the lead now were switching roles This is your pulpit Without distinction We want your head staked For amusement You are a culprit Bound for extinction Fuck what you once were There's no fusion We're at the throat of your status quo Fuck you and everything that you stand for.

Moniker 02:39
lyrics
I am the warring period. I am the warring period. I am the point in time That makes you take it in. I am the dying plague of old. I am the one that you call home. I am all there was- and all they'll ever be. Renaissance man with your heart in your hand. Sing along to the victory plan Play us off with the snare of your clan Gamble pride in exchange for land x2 I am the warring period. I am the warring period. I am the point in time That makes you take it in. I am the dying plague of old. I am the one that you call home. I am all there was- and all they'll ever be. What is the point of dying alone? When every nation is just skin and bone They've been around ever since the start. Why can't everyone just play their fucking part? I will always be first. You will always be second best.x2 I am the warring period. I am the warring period. I am the point in time That makes you take it in. I am the dying plague of old. I am the one that you call home. I am all there was- and all they'll ever be.

Ten Day Dream 03:50
lyrics
We are born when two souls collide We're given names- we are identified Some to live and some to survive Some may say that's it then you die. I'm obsessed with everything. Because each speck of dust has an apparent world of meaning. This is real- this is dedication This is critical this is life. I'm asleep-but I'm not dead. We're asleep- but we're not dead. A second chance- I won't have. A dead life- I won't have. Wandering like we have no home Thinking that we have to live life alone. We climb by ourselves- pillars of stone Pile on top of our backs like we have to atone. I'm asleep-but I'm not dead. We're asleep- but we're not dead. A second chance- I won't have. A dead life- I won't have. I walk along the here and now And we've fallen hard but don't hit the ground. But I know- we have yet to see the sun.

Riverbed 03:48
lyrics
You can't run away Can't run away from The lies and pain Covered in makeup Can't catch a break A classical shake-up You're in a dream- you're lucid so wake up. You're In a dream- You're lucid so wake up x4 I pushed her into the water I raised the dead that day. I stopped this, I stopped this I let it all fall through. When did this- this happen What does it mean to you? I pushed her into the water I raised the dead that day. I let this all happen I kept it up for so long. I ruined- ruined this To sing the same old song. I pushed her into the water I raised the dead that day. Sometimes it's better to burn your bridges Instead of going back to bury them. Bad blood ain't shit until you start drinking, Bad blood ain't shit until you start drinking it all. Bad blood ain't shit until you start drinking. Bad blood ain't shit until you start drinking it down. x2
