FAIM "Stepping Stone"

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

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 :)

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

MULTICUT "Recalibrate"
03:11

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

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

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

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

SCHOOL DRUGS "Broken"

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

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

You can bend over Cassanova
No sweat I'm clean Nothing can stop me

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

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

FAKING "Derailed"
03:55
|
|||
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
