Track Name: AS THE WORLD BURNS
You breathe it in at your own discretion
We breathe it in just because you exhale
It's not just yourself that you're killing
Lost in selfishness. You burn us all

You say it's your choice because it's your body
Well what about my choice? Isn't this my body?
This toxic filth floods the Earth
You strangle us with no concern
Our eyes are burning and our lungs collapse
As we all choke in this cloud of smoke
Your body rots as you slowly decay
There's easier ways to kill yourself

Your suicide is killing us all
As the world turns, it continues to burn
You light the fire that consumes us all
You take whats left and you burn it down

Humanity vanishes before our eyes
As the world turns, it continues to burn
Accelerate the end of our lives
You take whats left and you burn it down
Track Name: THE SEPARATION
I tried to bite my tongue
I tried to keep it in
But there's no turning back
The separation begins

This life I lead has left me drowning
Can't relate to the people around me
Isolate myself more everyday
I can't continue to live this way

The separation only grows stronger
It's becoming uncertain how much longer
I can keep these thoughts under control
Or will I unleash my hatred on this world?
Can I keep these thoughts under control?
Or will I unleash my hatred on this world?

The separation
Eye to eye, we'll never see
You'll always look down on me
Things will never be the same
The separation grows in me
Track Name: SCAPEGOAT
You live your life like a fucking game
Not once do you accept the blame
Somehow the blood is never on your hands
Overlooked. I’ll never understand

Look at what you’ve done. At what you destroyed
No longer will I sit and watch you deceive
You’ve been exposed. Can’t pass the buck
Your justice is served. Time is up

You can’t hide. You can’t escape the blame
No scapegoat. I’ll disgrace your name
Chemicals been blamed far too long
This is for those you have wronged

No remorse for your ignorance
No exceptions for what you’ve done
No tolerance for your ignorance
It’s all on you. There is no scapegoat
Track Name: IMPRISONED
Wake up in pain. Looking for the end
Awaiting my failure. Continue to descend
Further into this pit of despair
Search for a way out. There’s nothing there

Struggle within, I battle myself
The more I live, the more I hate myself
Paranoia poisons my mind
Peace is something I’ll never find

Anxiety grows in my confidence’s absence
I am to blame for this painful existence
Disillusioned thoughts. Constant Pain
A troubled mind is all that remains

Imprisoned in my own mind
Lock myself in. No means for escape
Imprisoned by my own thoughts
No solution. I accept my fate
Prisoner
Track Name: MY RELEASE
This is my release
This means everything to me
This is my escape
From all the bullshit. From all the fake
This is all I need
This is what makes my heart beat
This is where I thrive
This is what keeps me alive

I've been searching for substance in all these different places
Surrounded myself with all these different faces
All that I found is a life filled with pain
This is the one thing that keeps me sane

This is my release
This is what makes my heart beat
This is my release
This means everything to me
Track Name: USE ABUSE FT. TAYLOR MADISON OF BLACK FEATHERS
I watched you slip. I watched you fall
I watched you give up on it all
You reached out. Pleaded for help
I was there. All by myself

Dug yourself in with your ignorance
Suffer below with your arrogance
I tried my best to break you free
But all you've done is made a fool of me

Brick by brick. You wall yourself in
You're on your own. This is the end
Decisions you made burn you alive
A hollowed corpse. Nothing left inside

You shut us out. You showed us all
You don't want help. Continue to fall
There's nothing left of you to save
This life will lead you straight to your grave

You came to me for guidance, said you needed my help
But everytime I tried to help you, you just fell back to hell
I keep running through my head and I still struggle to see
The fucking reason why I keep this bullshit company
