Black Lung

My scars burn, & they're irritated.
I try to block it out by self medicating.
I'm a different man, not who I used to be
My own reflection doesn't look back at me.
My lungs fade to black / & hell follows with, upon my back
You are too close for comfort
I don't keep stock in your words
I've heard it all once before
Like the devils' knocking at my door
I'll say it once & hope it breaks through
I don't settle for fake
& I don't fuck with you.
I'm sick of saving face / empty people saying meaningless things
My circles shrinking, as my shit-list grows
You signed your name when you crossed the line.
So join the club with those who've wasted my time.
My lungs are turning black / My eyes are sinking in
I'm left to deal with this legion of demons within
I did this to myself.
What keeps me alone is what keeps me alive.
I've been living every day trying to get by.
How do I break this curse?

Accuser II

Sold your beliefs
They spread like a disease
and this plague has swept these streets
& I am begging to be quarantined
How the fuck am I supposed to believe, that the blood he shed isn't good enough for me?
I don't want to hear your fucking god talk
I think I've already heard enough
Teach me to hate myself...
It's already too late
We're all going to hell.

My Bitter Half
03:02

Eyes dilated / chattering teeth
I don't want it, it's what I fucking need
Slave to substance / giver of grief
I sold my soul but I lost the reciept
Embracing My Bitter Half
I hear my Shadow Speak
The devils' in the details / He looks alot like me
I'm searching for an escape from my reality
The only answers I'll find will only drive me to the brink of insanity
Tell me i'm out of my mind!
My back is against the wall
The room is shrinking, I'm over thinking
The gears in my mind are spinning out of control.
I turned my back on the people I love
I find no solace in the darkness above
Your thoughts and prayers won't change a thing
I just need some fucking room to breathe
I'm outta my mind, I'm outta control
I pay a price, a heavy toll
Why do you care?
I stopped giving a shit when I lost my friends
& I found my fix
Into the mirror as I slowly descend
To break the spirit that I find within
I turned my back on the people I love
I found no solace in the darkness above
Your thoughts and prayers won't change a thing
I just need some fucking room to breathe
& there will be no rest for me
I will come back, haunting all your dreams
Things might not go according to plan
But I will do the fucking best I can.

Force a smile & wear a stoic face
I feel the fear rushing through my veins
& I'm not sure how much more I can really take
How does it taste? My name on your tongue?
Tell me, is it bitter or is it sweet?
Chew me up, spit me out, drink down the memory
I'll psyche you out like paper stuck between your teeth
We're just repeating the cycle
No remorse, no apologies!
No second chances after what you've done
So talk to your shit
I'll bear the burden
I don't have patience for the sheep or the clones
So push your ego aside
& keep your pride in check
Cause karma sharpens her teeth
& she aims for your fucking neck
Static noise from radios
Day after fucking day
I can't decode scrambled thoughts
I'm out of frequency
& as liquor is bitter, so vengeance is sweet
Do I keep my peace? Or forget my dignity?
You're the rope burn around my neck,
and I'm on the edge of my seat
Why do you play with fire when you can't take the heat?
You're all I see in every fever dream
You chain me down
& fill my head with fire and gasoline
I don't have patience for the sheep and the clones!
So push your ego aside
& keep your pride in check
cause karma sharpens her teeth
& she aims for your fucking neck
Every dog has its day
Karmas' a cold hard bitch
Why am I always betrayed?
Why not you for a fucking change?!
