Buried deep beneath the dirt’s not deep enough You pull the strings but we’re the ones holding you up Demanding admiration like it was overdue Shut up. No thanks. And fuck you And all the lies The dividing lines They ain’t so hard to see You’re driven to conquer something But I’m built to stop at nothing And yet you try and break me You want the world by it’s throat Scarred and lifeless Backed into a corner You want it weak enough to fit the mold in time I know that grin like it was mine I shook that hand a thousand times And I’m not impressed So keep your enemies close You’re running out of control A kingdom of dirt, tethered in anger Learning reduction: a friend to a stranger Misery’s deserved Tell me I’m what I’m worth Tell me I can’t bite the hand that fed me I’ll smash the cage and destroy your foundation Pure and arrant frustration This is a lesson in greed and selfishness An introduction to pain and discipline And unrelenting consequence You stupid motherfucker Spineless bastards Watch nothing change There’s no liberation For those who’ve learned to love their chains

Cheat Death 04:09
I've been stabbing at the dark Praying for some kind of ending Bruised and beaten, hardened breathing I've been fighting a war that I can't win A room full of no one Myself against myself And I never meant to drag you down Because if you wanna know the truth... It's that I'd break this fucking world in two If that's what I had to do I need your hand to pull me back from that dead-end sting of doubt; Like I'm pissing on a burning building Like I'm burning just to burn out Now I'm braking harder Those spinning feelings are slowing so I can't lose grip The sheer fact of living's like I'm cheating death And I've been trying, but understanding mercy while I'm hanging from a rope has me feeling like humanity is one sick joke And I can't stop laughing I've been dying to live, playing absolutes in a time where faith's misused Burdened by my own morality, you know I love to lose Abandon old traditions Break the unwillingness to change There are no second chances, the clock ticks until it breaks I'm giving everything I have to give Fighting a war I can't win Cheat Death.
