Time, The Greatest Thief
03:01

Its the slight off beat tempo your heart produces
when there nothings left to lose
(We were so young until the night left us; so blissfully endless)
we made Baldwin our fortress, With none of our interests
(concerned with what was going on with the wars on tv)
or the children missing on these unforgiving streets
The side walk was our haven
Till around two or three
so many drunken nights
i wish i could replay it like a movie scene
(Theres only one problem
That i constantly see
I fast forward to my life
its gaining too much speed
I try to rewind it back
Now i can't seem to breathe
Time is nothing but a motherfuckin' thief)
NOTHING BUT A THIEF.
Give back what you've taken
My Youth, My Innocence
Is now just a dreamboat Baby
But oh oh oh sweet darling
I believe we're sinking
Pinch me rather quick
For fear i am dreaming
(The memories i keep dear to me
Set this ship off course; you see.
I endured through the devil's storm
But the most of you drowned
Within these dark seas
the most of you drowned
Within these dark seas)
I hold the words ("Im sorry" in my throat.)
But you can't seem to stay a float
our youth was a 'once in a life time thing'
and i can only live it , when i am lost in my dreams
(There's only one problem
That i constantly see
I fast forward to my life
its gaining too much speed
I try to rewind it back
Now i can't seem to breathe
Time is nothing but a mother fuckin' thief

Self Destruction

Can you please release
The demons in my chest
They influence the answer
to the only question Ive ever asked
Against my single greatest foe
Me, Myself, and I.
battle each-other on the inside
For whats morally right
For whats morally right
(Yeah)
(I've challenged myself tonight
None of us really understand a thing
until It's been Deprived
until its been taken from our lives)
(I swear it occurred to me
Carefully through an unwanted dream
There i watched my life from womb to tomb
From an outsiders perspective)
Every decision, Had a consequence
[SET MYSELF ON FIRE]
And slowly we burn
like a candle wick
We'll keep going
until we can't
Slowly Burn
Like a candle wick
We'll keep going
until we can't
until we can't

Whiskey Stains

Silence my greatest fear
i felt the weight of your absence
for several months but it felt like several years
I cant lie and say that the nightmares
didn't keep me awake
the images of your uncaring face
and i knew that my approach would be something inappropriate
so i just sat and watched at bay
I marked your foot steps in the sand
but the sea just swept it all away
and i swear that i'd say im sorry
but our pride will never change
whiskey stained table tops
a memory for every drop
that missed our lips
and kept the numbness
in our finger tips
so we could keep our eyes open and stay awake
trying so hard to remember a pointless conversation
That we could never ever share again today
Fragments of you remain inside my brain
Chemicals forced you further away
You were the least one i expected to ever change
I wish i could relive one more day
to Tell you there's more to life than suffering
Everything's a constant struggle
Day to day as we all unravel

Outlaw the Outlaws

I can't help everyone on the streets
Just a fucking Psycho
Strapped with more ammunition then our whole
God damn coast guard
and they're pointing at you
and they're pointing at me
saying that i pulled the trigger
can't save the innocent
or just keep casting down your judgement
on the ones who lost there
kids, sons, daughters, brother
When will they see
That its less about the guns on the street
and more about the bullshit they feed us on TV.
When will they see
that laws won't stop murders
When will they know
that we have one last chance
before shit just gets bad
Society gets mad
Our fall soon after that

Can't Weigh Me Down

May i untie the tethers
That are binding us together
The best of me, Was a test you see
Every Word, I Absorbed
Every Day, I Adored
Every kiss, Heart through the floor
Every day, Remembered so clear.
Like a Dream
I believe
in the fake
Instructions
Im Breaking, And Taking
Us further underneath
Invade my chest
and suffocate me i won't need to breathe
Cause straight up
Im a fucking cloud
Chillin in up the atmosphere now
No more of your punk ass shit to weigh me down
Now i am off to growing up
No more jumping walls or running from the cops
Now i am off to something else
All these bills will never pay themselves
Every Word, I Absorbed
Every Day, I Adored
Every kiss, Heart through the floor
Every day, Remembered so clear.

Im excited but i hide it in my face
I wouldn't dare risk giving it all away
underneath these circumstances my footing is faulty and weak
but i never fucking look right before i leap
today i thought it would change
but it was nothing new
the secrets that i kept
slowly become unglued
I revisit my former self
To see how ive developed
All that ive learned
The more that i realize
I won't ever understand
a damn thing inside
Try to judge me
But im a book
without a cover
Each page is a story
of its own
Doesn't matter
Whose book it is
Just make peace
with the fact that
we have our own endings

Lyrics: - Discard the mask
Concealing your Face
Its engraved with a smile
And we're all aware its fake (we're all aware its fake)
Two timer, friend turn to foe
Your The most spectacular liar, that ive ever known
Ill burn the greatest of fires in the wake that you leave.
Ill burn the greatest of fires in the grass where you sleep
Im so inspired i fill the space in my lungs with the air you don't deserve.
I take a step in your direction~
You stumble back with the fear on your lips
then i beg you to confess what you did~
You swore this time it wouldnt happen again
Do you take me for a fool?
Maybe i am for beliving every word you said
for beliving you were a true-heart-ed friend
Am i mistaken?
The trust that i gave you
Now feels like it was raped and taken from me
I apologize for~
Holding back whats been tearing me apart from the seams (from the seams)
You lucked out this time you see
I was blinded by your lies, and bribed with the greed
You lucked out this time you see~
Burned me down like the rest of all your dreams
I finally found your achilles heel
unleash it i will, Unleash it i will
The suffering you brought upon the days
Will be justified by these things i say
Your a liar, Your a bad friend
A Disappointment, That should of never happened
You backstabber ive got one last question
How do you live in your own skin?
Your a Snake in the grass
Your in it all for yourself...
Your just a Snake in the grass
Just you and no one else...
But that lifestyle will never last
You take each breath without style and class.
Your nothing but a sorry snake in the grass
Soaked in gasoline, i light the match, as you burn i leave.
and As you burn i leave
and As you burn i leave
and as you burn i leave

Lyrics:
So you assumed i thought you were a god
Oh the expectations youve set for yourself
You may think that you are strong
But ive realized, your character is flawed
The ghost of your mistakes will prove you wrong
Your Flesh, The suit, you arrogantly wear
Has polluted your morals and the air that we share
You look to your friends, but suddenly no ones there
So foolish To build your foundation on sand
Your actions are natural diasters
Your legs are broken but you still attempt to stand
SO FOOLISH to let a friend become a foe
Your Actions are never just
I'm never one to talk, but your insecurities show
I took a moment
Before, finishing that drink.
Then i witnessed through the smoke and mirrors
A monster cleverly pretending to care
BUT NOW IM AWARE
NOW IM AWARE
I can't help but consistantly think
That this all needs to end.
You don't deserve the title
The title of a geniune friend.
Your certainty of convincing me
that you would always be there
Countless times you've let me down
Anymore of it then id be six feet underground
There will be a day
Where i forget
The dissapointment You've become
There will be a fear
I will never forget
The dissapointment and lost of respect.
I HAD FOR YOU
