FIGHT OR FAIL
FIGHT OR FAIL
Be ready to find out what your finally made ofWith wits and bones to the testFeels like the same excuse our fathers who made usJust drop a coin in the pan for the manNobody knows exactly what where we came fromI’ve given up on the safety of man
Apologetic to the deaf dumb and blindedNo reason to get yourself all upsetMake sure it’s known what you are looking to find outThe final exit is finally here
And there’s a reason why we gave upWhen all feelings lose control
A long time ago I made some choices not to be savedThe final exit is finally hereAll hell breaks loose
You can’t tell me that the fight or fail it will end
The thought of giving upThe paralyzing thoughtIs tearing down all the progress you madeThese feelings not aboveSo all the questions done
I don’t know what else you want me to say
And there’s a reason why we gave upWhen all feelings lose controlFinally make these problems painless
It’s fight or fail

RELOCATE
RELOCATE
This is your pain
I have an issue I’m trained to question whyBelong to something two shots one and done is my adviseSome kind of purpose why not a shred of regretTurn down the music and you’ll see what kind of response you will get
Man down the hatch it’s time to go nowhere for us to run toBlame me for this blame you for that a fact of life to become trueAlone in life a traveler slowly at times goes in reverseA personal excuse of mine no time for love no time to cry
I have a number I have a nameI have a document full of papers saying I’m insaneWhat’s your religion what god you waiting forGo to the church get on your knees closer to hell you are
Please relocate me please I am doneWith this place of ignorance find me alonedead along the river of blood
Some kind of purpose why not a shred of regretTurn down the music and you’ll see what kind of response you will getI have an issue I’m trained to question whyBelong to something two shots one and done is my advise
Man down the hatch it’s time to go nowhere for us to run toBlame me for this blame you for that a fact of life to become trueAlone in life a traveler slowly at times goes in reverseA personal excuse of mine no time for love no time to cry
I have a number I have a nameFind me along the river of bloodI have a number I have a nameI have a number I have a name
Please relocate me please I am doneWith this place of ignorance find me alonedead along the river of bloodPlease relocate me please I am doneWith this place of ignorance find me alonedead along the river of blood

ANIMAL X
ANIMAL X
There comes a thunder with a crack in the skyAnother reason for pushing you to the sideI know it’s crazy with a passion to tryBut in the same sense I need a life without ties
What are all these raging things in mind frozenWhat have I become to beMaybe time has taken me through charts unspokenJust tormented darkened dreamsIn my brain
Take a good look at the back of my handbefore your head spins like a blade of a fanI hope you move quick before it comes out againI hope these words stick like the first thing I said
Timeless thoughts of pushing forward failed creationThe only way of conqueringLiving life above things that invoke emotionNo excuses pleaseNot from me
Animal x in my brain set I’ve got to resistit’s all bullshit
Animal x in my brain set I’ve got to resistit’s all bullshit
What are all these raging things in mind frozenWhat have I become to beMaybe time has taken me through charts unspokenJust tormented darkened dreamsIn my brain
Take a good look at the back of my handbefore your head spins like a blade of a fanI hope you move quick before it comes out againI hope these words stick like the first thing I said
Timeless thoughts of pushing forward failed creationThe only way of conqueringLiving life above things that invoke emotionNo excuses pleaseNot from me

NO LIMITS
NO LIMITS
C’mon
We’re going nowhere
Take a good look at your dreamsThe life of you they’ve been running throughPicking up all left in piecesA part of me that’s not for youTurn your back now on your friendsA dangerous game with the family manDon’t know if I’m gonna liveBut if I don’t die it’s limitless skies
Where nothing ever complains aloneWhere no one ever talks about loveWhere nothing ever complains aloneWhere no way there’s a god up above
It’s hopeless to feel the better thingsThe quicker the fall of your dreamsI know I have lost all of these thingsI won’t give up til I win
Til I win
Now your back down on your kneesYour begging for something that just ain’t worth itbetter left off as it iscause too much strife can make your life quite alonein that motherfuckin roomwon’t you just tell me what it is I dopicking up all left in piecesa part of me that’s not for you
Where nothing complains aloneWhere no one ever talks about loveWhere nothing ever complains aloneNo one ever talks about love
It’s hopeless to feel the better thingsThe quicker the fall of your dreamsI know I have lost all of these thingsI won’t give up til I win
Where nothing ever complains aloneWhere no one ever talks about loveWhere nothing ever complains aloneWhere no way there’s a god up above
Take a good look at your dreamsThe life of you they’ve been running throughPicking up all left in piecesA part of me that’s not for youTurn your back now on your friendsA dangerous game with the family manDon’t know if I ’m gonna liveBut if I don’t die it’s limitless skies
Where nothing ever complains aloneWhere no one ever talks about loveWhere nothing ever complains aloneWhere no way there’s a god up above

S.M.M.F.
S.M.M.F.
Let’s goFalse accusations are obtaining my timeMainly just verses restraining my mind
You fall for all these pleasuresFeeling that dreaded sideBlind faith and boring preachersTortured til the end of time
They try to put you in your placeFeels like I wanna punch you in your face
Maybe just the beginningEars deaf then don’t even waste my time
With all these liesSo don’t waste my time with all these liesGo
To take back all these contributions of earthA marvelous site this soul would be sold firstTo wake up to pledge everything you want to doThis is not time don’t think about youGo
It’s so insane
Don’t waste my time
Small mindNo time

STRANGER TO THE FICTION
STRANGER TO THE FICTION
Your never gonna let it be throughThe pain of your existence drainsI’m done with all the fighting we doSo face it I want you to listen
Tragic massacre just to let it burnOff your lizard tonguePull the leverSame old terrible things up in the wayreally good at dragging me down
First things first I’m not professionalI do know I’m better than youNo contract nothing acceptableMaybe it’s better we’re through
Making a change hold a god damn minutePushing me around ain’t never gonna get itMost adversaries take it better this wayI’m just the one no stranger to the fiction
Your never gonna let it be throughThe pain of your existence
Never will do what you think I shouldMake less painless wanted and shameless
First things first I’m not professionalI do know I’m better than you
No contract nothing acceptableMaybe we’re better we’re through
Never will do what you think I should
Never will do what you think I shouldMake less painless wanted and shameless
Your never gonna let it be throughThe pain of your existence drainsI’m done with all the fighting we doSo face it I want you to listen

NO MERCY MACHINE
NO MERCY MACHINE
No mercy
No mercy machine
To the furthest of pain that a man can take inThere can never be no question of an answer in fearSo when the hammer comes downWhy your sticking aroundInvokes psychotic rage filled with laughter aloud
Don’tDon’t be so patheticand don’tDon’t let it slide to my faceI can’t take another secondNoNo mercy machine
Pain another way you might check itFight through the burning insideLife you gotta reach out and take itBy the wayNo mercy machine
So claim your high placeFace to my faceAll the pain can endeavor inside meHold your breath and take a step backPut your fingers to the air and say fuck that
Don’tDon’t be so patheticDon’tDon’t let it slide to my faceI can’t take another secondNo mercy machineNo mercy machine
You put your mercy in a cageBefore you make a mistakeYou put your mercy in a cageBefore your tasting your bloodYou put your mercy in a cageBefore you make a mistakeYou put your mercy in a cageBefore your tasting your blood
Don’tDon’t feel so patheticAnd don’tDon’t let it slide to my faceI can’t take another secondThere’s noNo mercy machine and painAnother way you might check itAnd fight through the burning insideOf life you gotta reach out and take itBy the wayNo mercy machine
And how far gone as my thoughts roamI made it on my ownFor this time I go alonePlease give me the time to leave his place of hate and seeno mercy will keep this piece of lifeI made for meI made for meNo mercy will keep this life of peace I made for meI made for me

TRAGIC STORIES
TRAGIC STORIES
For all I know I exist in this placeA garbage land of my mindBehind the walls I built in meThis is the only wayI can define it
I’m so exhausted can you help me pleaseCan you help me with these tragic stories
A tortured soul wrapped in burning chainsSo retaliate in a violent rageCoordinating a piece of hate feeding meTo broaden my horizon yeah
For all those years that's gave me a chanceOf a path of life if your dealt it lessCharacter is not my best don’t let reality fall apart on you now
Tragic stories are these of a broken brainBetter off out than all up in my headA fatal excuse like a single nooseAnd it’s tightening around my neck
Everyone in this world complicating thingsDon’t know how far I can fall apartIf I let go now I know I’m lostWon’t be sad when these emotions are gone
The only way through the bottom escape toThe only way through the hell is to break throughThe only way through the bottomescape toThe only way through the hell is to break through
Behind the walls I built in meThis is the only wayI can define it
I’m so exhausted can you help me pleaseCan you help me with these tragic storiesThe only way through the bottomescape toThe only way through the hell is to break through
