Unlearn 02:37
UNLEARN (featuring Matt Anderson from Purgatory) Left for dead I can’t forget it I couldn’t see the words spelled out in front of me You pulled away I didn’t notice Couldn’t have given you a better reason to leave Try and try Exceed the limit Accept the fact that there’s things that I could do Try to hold on to what’s good, what’s left inside of you But tell me, what’s the use? Unlearn to satisfy Your selfish point of view Separate from the lies Unlearn to need you They say it never shows You found a way to exorcise my ghost I’d hate to see what you see When your eyes are closed I’d hate to know what you know But I could drag the past into the light and help you remember me. The harsh truth was that you were never coming back again. That took so long to see. You’d tear your life apart for everything You wanted everything There’s nothing left to take from me I only wanted love I only needed trust You couldn’t give a fuck

Tied to the earth Burdened to carry the weight The world’s still spinning while your minds in a cage Wish for the ugly hand of fate to remove your soul until a shell remains Shackled and blind, begging to see Lock the door and bury the fucking key Chained to a world A thousand eyes on me Left on display for everyone to see Set aside to take the blame Beaten down and left to choke on the pain Some things never change I’d rather die with my hands united Than walk through this world not living my own life Constant lies since the day I was born Forced to live by society’s norms Discontent, resit the mold Refuse a future under mind control So every moment of every day I search for the strength inside to break away But some things never change

Love To Lose 02:21
Earned the right to buy until you’re sold Was it worth your life to strive to fit the mold? A millions ways to overlook the truth But I can give you the answer: No Dead inside, you’re left without a soul to save You held the key but couldn’t leave the cage Another empty face that never tried to change Put on the suit, step into the grave There’s nothing left for you But I’m as anxious as I ever have been And I refuse to let this light burn out I want the struggle I want to bleed I need to know that something still makes my heart beat Your life is given a choice that always ends with a noose And I get cheated out of every chance I take But I love to lose

Dog Days 02:57
It’s been so long since I’ve lost myself I try to hide it but I know it shows I cut myself off from reality And slipped away with the undertow It’s so easy to be held down by the weight of doubt Add up the days since I saw you last And burn from the inside out The hourglass has cracked; still time drags on I’m sick of living my life in spite of you I’m sick of losing sleep I wish that I could try and tell the truth Instead of lying through my teeth Running through all my thoughts on me and you A cycle on repeat Let the rotations cease and finally see: The only one that I’ve been losing here is me You watched me slip, you let me sink And I fell out of reach Your hands were tied But mine were free to ruin everything that was good around me Wounds heal in time But this hate inside is mine to keep My mind is a sinking ship beneath the empty sea My heart is a burning home But you’re not what I need This isn’t what I need
5.
The Hard Way 03:05
What more could I say about a feeling that I just can’t erase? Now because of you, I leave my trust in few Another lesson that I learned the hard way But I tried, and I tried, hell…I tried to be content within misery But every time that I close my eyes it’s your goddamn face I see You’ve fooled everyone but me You’re a wolf preying on the sheep Play and act and hide behind the mask of a man with humility I see- but I can’t believe it’s come to this Discontent, emotionless But you’re no better than anything you’ve ever fucking stood against It’s true – retribution’s due Accept your punishment You have nothing left to lose Bury beneath my skin I’m only sorry that I put my trust in you The regret of ever letting you in is the only that keeps me chained to you You think you slipped away But you and I know that you’ll never change Bide my time until the wrongs are right I never got a chance to let you feel my pain I can’t wait until I see you again All this time won’t help you leave my mind It’s worth the cost if it takes my whole life As dead as you and finally we’ll be face to face on the other side A bitter taste that never swayed with age A fact to face that you and I are the same So every word and all the hurt will remain People like us don’t change
