Carefree thoughts can be confusing When your riddled with contempt What's at stake is priceless although your hate Drowns out the solution. As the clock it keeps ticking ask yourself can u grow? You need to learn how to harness all that pain inside learn to open your eyes Lay it all on the line DRIVEN CONTEMPT USE TO STRIVE I know we are all twisted by time Why can't the torments of the past become your anvil You have come so far Struggled through hell and survived Bled and cried trying to get by Fewer than most have walked this road There lies the advantage Light the match Ignite the pain. Push on forward to better days Use the pain tear down everything in your way Carefree thoughts can be confusing When your riddled with contempt What's at stake is priceless although your hate drowns out the solution no more tears just a burning desire To light the way And use the pain IM BEATEN ,BENT ,BROKEN AND BRUISED I wear these scars As a statement to prove No matter what ive seen Been or done I refuse to hide I refuse to run

Implosion 02:23
You have Always persevered through the overwhelming So pushed your mind betrays you. You split yourself right down the middle But you think you know what is right why can't you change those moments in time ? As they crumble They all crumble right in front of you YOU CONTROL THIS so own it all The hidden battles that consume your soul YOU CONTROL THIS so back yourself don't brace for fall You feel Entombed as your mind runs wild. You turn upon your own self. Under the watch of your blood red eyes Are you lying to yourself have you realised the truth ? Face those hidden battles don't brace for fall. Controlling the chances as you watch them pass by . Is a waste of time when your mind is just preoccupied With trying to face one more day NO MORE LIES. So now just taking everything ONE DAY AT A TIME The power to control your own life Is spawn inside your heart And now lives inside our mind

Mind Demons 03:04
Only cowards turn there backs it's time CANT TURN BACK NOW Without sacrifice there can be no victory in a sea of lost trust It feels like Its all falling apart at the seams You don't know what is hiding These things don't happen we're your from to you they never have existed It makes you see a new dimension to living YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS HIDING Can't erase the scars YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS HIDING Got nothing to loose and everything to gain Tear down the walls of yesterday. When struggling for everything you have Is all you know the want for more explodes To live happy and free No one don't deserve to be. Living your best life No one ain't deserve to be How much is never enough In a sea of lost trust YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS HIDING Nothing to loose and everything to gain Let's tear down the walls of yesterday I Came from nothing... but pain and suffering ... endless head fucking See through your disguising bluffing Move first what pawns do Your disposable life Not taking one or two but every cunt and you How are your safe shows now ? With no scene and no crowd its dead but when I cared you were there and you were scared Second to none OUTNUMBERED NOT OUTGUNNED Fuck it let’s go son Forever come get some

You walk along a prism of glass Its bound to break because nothing will last In your eyes you make the rules THE KING WITH NOTHING TO LOOSE your bound to break You won't learn from past mistakes BOUND TO BREAK We have these things inside us no one else can see They hold us down like anchors Its time to break free ALL THE RAGE ALL THE PAIN ALL THE HATRED can no longer lock us down Nothing will make it better untill you are cold and numb At the hands of the bottom of a bottle Or the trigger of a gun We will walk straight over it if we have too Always refuse those vices Can you not see your intentions are no good Heres a feeling of how we understood You fucking dog cunt Weak and Inept You can't break our will we earnt the respect Everyone has a time and place One thing I can tell U is we won't break THESE ARE YOUR MISTAKES BOUND TO BREAK

Saviour 03:24
At the darkest points of our lives there is always a shining light This is for those We love We lost See you on the other side Its been so long now since I saw your face OUR LOVE FOREVER WILL STAY TRUE no matter what we have both gone through Time plays no part No bearing on the bond we bind Those friendships that will last a lifetime Even though we have been torn in ribbons FOR SOME OF US THATS ALL THAT WE HAVE Your selflessness WAS MY SAVIOUR nothing said will do it justice Your selflessness was my saviour No words could do it justice Your selflessness was my Saviour Your family took me In When my future looked so grim. No one too turn too with zero direction.. I was on my knees with no food, Didnt have a place to sleep on my knees WITH A LIFE OF CRIME AT MY FEET Down on my knees WITH A LIFE OF CRIME AT MY FEET A little love goes a long way Its not forgotten now your gone I owe you everything It's not forgotten now your gone I owe you everything It's not forgotten now that you are gone I OWE YOU EVERYTHING OUR LOVE FOREVER WILL STAY TRUE OUR LOVE FOREVER WILL STAY TRUE RIP Dalroy
