Dregs 01:48
Happiness doesn't come for certain Step back, which way are you lookin? To the right you can see my life. To the left you can see what I'm trying to leave behind I'm running away From all my problems I won't take the time I need to solve them This is classic me So just let me sink Down to the bottom Take me back to where I started. I suffer with this weight everyday I can bear this no more My lungs collapse, suffocate My mind is exhausted, I need escape

I can't work a 9 to five, Just to stay alive Sign my life up for over time And ask me If I'm doin’ fine Day after day I work myself to my fucking break Everyday it’s the same routine I don't even get to stop to think. CLOCK IN CLOCK OUT Every day it’s the same old shit I shut my mouth Afraid of what I should do if I quit This gets harder every day I can't keep living life this way Too poor to eat, I'll just starve This resentment breaks my heart You don't know You don't get why this ails me so Maybe you should live as poor as me You don't see You think that could never happen to some one as well off as me Blue Collar jobs, they leave me Living from check to check But I need something more I need a purpose other than CLOCK IN CLOCK OUT Every day it’s the same old shit I shut my mouth Afraid of what I'd do if I quit Grinding harder everyday slave to the minimum wage So Complacent, Every dollar spent, I'll hang my body with a rope of my regrets Another Day, Another Dollar My check's already spent, why bother? Everytime I break this losing streak the cycle repeats

Heavy On It 02:58
Out Cold and Alone I know you're out there I hope this message finds you I hope you're doing well, and when they finally catch you I hope you rot in your hell Just remember You did this to your self You chose that shit over me And your friends all left you When you said you could quit it anytime But you never did You stayed heavy on it. The Company that you keep around They wont be there for the ups and downs They're just there for their high They don't care about your life One day you'll Leave your mark on the body bag. Leave your kid with out a mom and dad Its pathetic, to know that I won't be the one that will let you back into my life And I won't Be a victim to more of your lies Junkie, fake, liar Piece of shit Stick a needle in your vein You wont quit Sister, mother, daughter, my friend You did all this to yourself. You did this to your self You chose that shit over me And your friends all left you When you said you could quit it anytime

My Way Out 03:50
Wake up in the morning, put the gun in my mouth Pull the trigger and nothing will come out Why can't this be so easy? I have to find a better way I have to find something worth living one more fucking day This is always the hardest part, Put it down, try a brand new start Walls out around my mind Block out all light I've lost my way, I never would have come back. I've come so far, I mistook my self as weak. I HAVE TO FIND A BETTER WAY I JUST CAN'T TAKE THE EASY WAY I NEED A REASON TO STAY ON THIS EARTH ONE MORE FUCKING DAY This war I've raged with my self Sickened thoughts fall like shells I am dug in the trenches I'll see this fight all the way through Its not so easy with the cloud hanging over your head Some days you feel like your better off dead I know I've been there before I can't take this pressure anymore

Blood Ties 02:50
You always said that words don't mean a thing Just fight back with sticks and stones Well I guess you took your own advice When you left without a word and never came back home I swear you'd be proud of the man that I've become Without your help without you there You're just so distant The only thing that's constant is the change Would you notice me if I were any different? I'm just so tired of being milked dry I can't keep faking a smile to hide behind don't leave me in this place forever I'm blindly praying that someday you'll make an effort I'll never make the same mistake again now I know that blood ties don't mean a thing and maybe it's just selfish thing to think That I could ever be something that someone could ever need x2 It's the days like this When I most consider it…. Run the knife through my wrists Until they're left hanging limp. Stop telling me you understand what's going on in my head I'm as cold and empty as the streets I walk at 3 a.m. Sometimes I think I should have offed myself When I had the chance I'm sick of being useless Someday I swear I'll prove it I'm worth more than just another one of your past regrets I’m sick of being useless Someday I swear I’ll prove it Someday I'll give you a reason to care
