So tired of being thrown in the dirt So sick of being used all the time What can I do to show you how this hurts You’ll never fucking get it Am I right? I’m not your stepping stone I’m not here for you to take I won’t let you push me down I’ll show you what I can make This is all I have This is all I need It’s Nothing To You
2.
Dredging and toiling a wave of unrest In knowledge there's power But sometimes not for the best The sutures torn open a wave of disgust a heart that still beats illusion of trust Fill me up to the brink Empty lining in the sink. Dredging and toiling a wave of unrest in knowledge There’s power but sometimes not for the best An open wounds inviting and easy to fill Words stained sour and eyes that would kill Pump me up to the brink Empty lining in the sink Thoughts linger in your head One day you'll be dead :)
3.
Tell me what it's like To live a perfect life Practicing smile So I can see yr alright Give and take for what Tell me how to live So that I may learn to die Drag me in the dirt Rub it in my eye Give and take for what Give and take for yourself You give and you take for what?

I’m chasing ghosts of words spoken, those left unsaid Of actions taken, those left for dead Of failures and missteps, fears and anxieties I’m chasing ghosts, I cannot see They said it would only get better, that time It heals all wounds but the sadness and pain They’re never far away They're never far away Still learning to cope with my frailties Still struggle to navigate my insecurities I’ve struck out countless times before, but I never stopped swinging And I’ve wished for death, but I’ve learned to keep living They said it would only get better, that time it heals all wounds but the sadness and pain They’re never far away They’re never far away I’ve struck out countless times before, but I‘ll never stop swinging I’ve wished for death before, but I’ll never stop living I’m chasing ghosts I'm chasing ghosts I'm chasing ghosts I cannot see I’ve struck out countless times before, but I never stopped swinging And I’ve wished for death before, but I’ve learned to keep living
5.
If I walk it slow Bantam breaks its claw And I often sought terrific abjection Watched it go AWOL A tooth breaks my fall But what if I atone Just say so What if they could file me away Could face it in terror Could face it in thrall Keep facing another round Wish I wished it so Raiments hit the floor when I bended knee Telling myself that's not me
6.
Fuck what you think a body is Sneaking into the space I'm supposed to be Because I am queen Pawn to queen Queen kills king Living in lead:: Scared because I'm by myself late at night She haunts me from down the hall Living in lead She mocks me Wants me dead She kills She feels awful
7.
They built a desert And you called it peace Malice confused for good intention Neglect those in need The vision you subscribe to, Leaves little to be desired Void between shared values Leaves you morally impaired Waiting for a better day Is an exercise in waste Following a plan leading down a well trod path Toward oft repeated mistakes and regrets You show an unwillingness To learn and progress Reconcile your faith No, Reconcile your worth You’re lead to destruction With a smile on your face Brandish misplaced pride, Discredit those who know You’re standing on a platform That benefits your own Pining for a better time Is an exercise in waste Following a plan leading down a well trod path Toward oft repeated mistakes and regrets You show an unwillingness To learn and progress I’ve made peace with this Made peace with myself I’ve made peace with this Made peace with myself Take some fucking ownership Admit you were wrong Resolve all your differences Without reaching for a gun Think you’re example specimens Your number has run
8.
Gonna see my friends tonight Gonna dance and sing and fight Stage lights are going down, but we shine bright An Arch Street serenade Gonna jump that barricade Everybody's throwing down with the sound in Chinatown Hardcore kids and punks and skins Mouthpiece asks if they can win And the voice of Ralph comes down from high Our spirit will endure Fight to stay alive Despite these changing times Our spirit will survive You can close these doors But you can't kill this song I know we gotta go If you don't know, you weren't meant to know Broken glasses, bloody knuckles All the hugs and Stackhouse scuffles Blows my mind we got out alive Sang along, strong and true Felt like we were one big crew I swore I'd keep this fire in my heart and mind My heart and soul still knows that dance floor feels like home Danced our way through all the years, never knowing any fears Another night that I don't wanna say goodbye All the smiles and all the tears, art school dropouts and fixed gears Gonna see my friends tonight Gonna dance and sing and fight The curtains coming down, but we still rise

Listen all y'all this is sabotage

Never wanted, never asked for it Kicked and stepped on, and fuck you And made to be... Broken Everything is fucking broken Past the point of fixing anything Made to lie down, and stay down And made to be... Broken Lost the opportunity, try to make it work Quit or be a failure, I can't tell which is worse
12.
Fake some inspiration Disadulation I can’t live only for the office Mirror feedback very often I only see the asshole Everybody loves A consolation prize Traced in constellations and pride Debilitation devoid of reason It’s not the season see I’m fucking haunted It’s not the worst it’s been I always get up almost every other day Love personal treason turn me on life in isolation whys

Glory glory Lay it all on me Fifty foot Queenie Fifty and rising You can bend over Cassanova No sweat I'm clean Nothing can stop me
15.
The sun gleams on us all The wind resonates Through the fields that we walk While we try to find the meaning of our worth Release all that hurt And all them chains you can't let go As the stars soar over, We remain in light Clinging on to radiance and what's left to define Release all that hurt And all them chains you can't let go
16.
I’m rolling with the tide I never said I was fine Once I circle the drain I hope it burns in your mind Reduced to nothing Not sure if I was anything Seething, concealing worshiping Edge of certain existence Teetering staring straight down Deluded confusion Another trip around I’m coming apart Same story same sound Burn me out from the inside Turn me upside down
17.
Put me in the ground Cause i fear that i won’t give up I’ve been on rails for so long i barely sleep I am barely bury me in chains Cause i fear that i won’t give up I don’t need to calm down I need to get shit done I know it’s endless I know i’ll fail This isn’t power It’s just a different kind of fear Feels like being strung along Yeah but i still go on and on The pace is slowly killing me I’m not in control of me I wish i could stop I don't need to calm down I need heaven Heaven is a place a place where nothing Nothing ever happens I'll be derailed
