1. ALONE

You reach a point
You can never go further you're so close to greatness
But self destruction comes your way
Waiting for the world to come find you
You can never get out
But you soon find out that life goes on without you
And the devil reaches up to bring you down
His hand reaches up from the grave
And you'll accept it

In the end it's every man for himself
And for those who can't keep up
Feed them to the dogs


2. BLACK ORPHAN

Black Orphan
Why did we create you

Black Orphan
Why is it you that I see on my TV screen ?

When you fight for the shit that you think is right
But it's all based on a cross
And a fucking book
And you're killing all of those around you
You're killing yourself

With my arms stretched towards the masses
I'll bring down the fist of God


3. OVERLOOK

I can't cancel everything
I built up all these barricades
Walled myself in
From the world outside
And everything in between
And this is all routine

And everything fucking day
Trapped inside of this hole I dug myself
Every fucking day
Trapped inside this hole I dug myself

And I'm surrounded by my enemies

I've been here before
When I locked myself in my room
There is nothing left here for me
The sun don't shine here anymore
'Cause you took everything

I knew I was a better man
To take everything
That you once loved

To take everything you once loved
And I went back inside
I built up these barricade
Walled myself in
Get ready to taste the fucking curb

Put your teeth to the curb
Get ready
To taste the fucking earth

As you crawl back home
You remember what you lost

As you crawl back home
To the only place you've ever known
It fades away

To the ones who love you
They turn their heads in disgrace
And look away


4. 104

Look around
What do you see
The measure of a man
Who can't provide for his family
Youth escaped me
So I took a step back
This is how it feels to be reckless

And I'll never go down 104 again
To the broken glass and heartache
And I'll never go down 104 again
To the unmarked graves that house salted bones

I long to be where the wildflowers grow
But I can't get there
Never felt love before

I'll never go down 104 again
When I can't sleep at night
You were my shelter

When I can't feel the shakes of the world
I am motionless
I am sinking
And I won't attempt to swim


5. SUN

Living our American Dream
Products of middle class mediocrity
We always saw life coming
But we shut it down
Buried it
Far away
But reality finds a way
You came back different
I as well changed
3 AM was a distant memory
I'm fading
I'm fading away
I'll take the long road
I'll disappear
I'll disappear

You're already gone life changes
You wake up
And you don't think or feel the same anymore
The same hurt you felt at 17
Feels like nothing at 26
Everything is temporary

Everything is temporary
Living our American Dream
products of middles class mediocrity


6. GROW APART

Where were you
To answer the doubts that I had
About life
And everything that I need
You never saw me as more than a shoulder to cry on

I was so young I never thought this would happen to me
What I was the way before
And this was always the way it was supposed to be
Leave me out there

I should have listened to what they told me
Don't force what you can't have
Because it'll hurt you in the end
(I watched you grow apart, you tried to force what you can't have)

But it always leads to
Me in the same room
Writing in the same old book
The same old shit
From many times before
I watched us grow apart

Walk through me
Down that old way
We all wilt the same
Views never change
We stay trapped in suburban fame
We all stay
Trapped in that same place
The winters come
They never change
Summers are short
We're all gonna fade away
As I walk down that same way that I always have
This whole place comes crashing down on my head
You were too much snow draped over a wide open plain
And now you taste like the death i always thought you'd be

And it's time to go home
Because everyone grows old...
