Under Attack 03:05
I’m waiting to explode Into the dark I ride alone with no weakness left exposed I’m on my bitter own My mind’s become suffocated from the anguish you portray I’m looking for answers but to only come up stray If you’re looking to play dirty, well, two can play at that game But watch your back cause you know you’re not the only one to blame It feels like I’ve been trapped in a corner with no moves left to be played I’m down to my final strike and I’m not going down without a fight Let’s tear it down from the ground up We can build it how we wanna Suffocating who I used to be And I’m tired of living in these memories I’m looking forward to the future Cause there’s nothing left to do here These houses have become empty And it feels like I’ve been the last one standing In the dead of night With a lighter in my hand and a Molotov cocktail to ignite I won’t listen to the voices telling me what I should avoid This paranoia fills every inch of my lungs and I’m asking the questions behind a cocked loaded gun If you’re looking to play dirty, well, two can play at that game But watch your back cause you know you’re not the only one to blame It feels like I’ve been trapped in a corner with no moves left to be played I’m down to my final strike and I’m not going down without a fight Let’s tear it down from the ground up We can build it how we wanna Suffocating who I used to be And I’m tired of living in these memories I’m looking forward to the future Cause there’s nothing left to do here These houses have become empty And it feels like I’ve been the last one standing Watch your words, watch your back cause you’re under attack Don’t give up, don’t give in cause we’ll win from within

Watch the music video for "Halfway Through:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbnlgs7ncyI I'm halfway through to not remembering you, I'm halfway through You're this bad habit that I just can't shake And every time I look back I realize my mistake From the promises we tend to break This catastrophe is growing The clocks been broken for days, it's broken And time keeps slipping away, it's slipping I never said it was easy to cut your ties and leave me I'm halfway through to not remembering you I'm halfway through I'm sick and tired of all the things that you do I'm halfway through I hate the way you lean on me And if I were to fall, you'd be down at your knees But it's too late to save this sinking ship We’re going down together I never said it was easy to cut your ties and leave me I'm halfway through to not remembering you I'm halfway through I'm sick and tired of all the things that you do I'm halfway through I just can't seem to get these words off my chest the right way Every word comes out a cliché I'm halfway through to not remembering you I'm halfway through I'm sick and tired of all the things that you do I'm halfway through I just can't seem to get these words off my chest the right way Every word comes out a cliché

We're ready to let this go! Our hearts beat fast like a speeding engine Pushing our bodies to the limits that they will go With all this built up frustration, I'm not afraid to cut the tension and let this go A shot in the dark makes a group dispense and I'm the one living with the consequences Let this go tonight Here's to the nights Where we'd stay up past dawn Where we could do no wrong We’d stay up all night Won't forget this fight To the morning light Breathe in every word we shout There's nothing left to talk about We'll get chills down our spine when we throw rocks at streetlights to make the blackest nights A shot in the dark makes a group dispense and I'm the one living with the consequences Let this go tonight Here's to the nights Where we'd stay up past dawn Where we could do no wrong We’d stay up all night Won't forget this fight To the morning light Our impulse cannot be tamed So get out of our way We won’t betray Our feelings remain unexplained Here's to the nights Where we'd stay up past dawn Where we could do no wrong We’d stay up all night Won't forget this fight To the morning light

Schmohawk 02:59
On a late night, when I’m all alone All I wanna do is sleep cause I’ve exhausted myself When I had the chance to run, I decided I would stay When I had the chance to get away I can’t help what you think You’ll never find someone like me That’ll look at you in the same way Just when you thought you had me figured out you lost the footing underneath you It’s amazing after everything we’ve done You still feel like a stranger These days are getting colder; this everlasting winter When I’m done thinking of how you fucked my life up Cause you’re the one first to cross my mind And the words I wish you could hear that I’ll never say “I’m not what you want, but I’m the only thing you’ve got” The world’s become such a cold place And you’re the only warmth that I could feel I’d rather spend another restless night in these sheets Than another one with you I’m done living in this shadow of who you think I am (I can't help what you think, you'll never find some one like me, that'll look at you in the same way) I’m the first one to take the blame for every situation (I can't help what you think, you'll never find some one like me, that'll look at you in the same way) Just when you thought you had me figured out you lost the footing underneath you It’s amazing after everything we’ve done You still feel like a stranger These days are getting colder; this everlasting winter Just when you thought you had me figured out you lost the footing underneath you It’s amazing after everything we’ve been through You still feel like a stranger, you still feel like a stranger, these days are getting colder; this everlasting winter

Time, it hasn't healed a thing. It's only made things worse. I've tried to hide it, but I'm living underneath your curse. This bed that we once shared is a testament to what we lost here. I'm fighting hard but I think I'm losing ground. It's not the way I pictured it going down. If I could change just like the seasons, I'd find a reason to move on and regret we ever met I'm trying hard just to get you to think before I drown. You're dead to me but your name lives on I'm sick of every second I spent on Thinking you gave a shit when you swore that you meant it How do you sleep at night with a knife that you left in my back? I hope he’s worth it If I could change just like the seasons, I'd find a reason to move on and regret we ever met I'm trying hard just to get you to think before I drown. This ain't self-deprecation, it's the thought that lacks resolve. How could you move on when you know you're wrong so it seems like it's all my fault This ain't self-deprecation, it's the thought that lacks resolve. How could you move on when you know you're wrong so it seems like it's all my fault I guess you're moving on I guess you're moving on I guess you're moving on I guess you're moving on
