High Stakes Heartbreak
03:17

high stakes, heart break
why do me a favour
only to
hold over me later?
classic you
high stakes, heart break
we get back together
just as I
look up on my phone new
ways to die
high stakes, heart break
high stakes, heart break
I just can't stand
this hook in me
how long until you
will set me free?
I like me better without you
these cans of worms
you've opened up
it makes me sick and
I've had enough
I like me better without you
without you (x4)
it's been so long since
I could speak my mind
without you (x4)
It's been so long since
I could find the time
high stakes, heart break (x4)

Can't Wake Up
03:05
|
|||
|
Feels like borrowed time
Body aches, fuzzy brain
You say that I'm fine
Sure doesn't feel that way
I can't wake up (x3)
Just want to live my life
Pieces cut from me
No more daily grind
Nothing left for you to see
I can't wake up (x3)
We wicked cannot rest
We wicked cannot rest
We wicked cannot rest
We wicked cannot rest

Psyche
03:32
|
|||
|
Self-inflicted failure (self-inflicted fails)
Numbing pain with poison (numb pain with poison)
Hard to find the true self (hard to find the truth)
Patched up to avoid it (patched up to avoid)
(I can't feel)
My mind has reached its limit
A hole burned in my psyche
Something has to help me function
Now swallow this and you'll feel better
(I can't feel)
Who am I without this? (who am I without?)
Can't say that I miss them (can't say that they're missed)
Dim the light and save me (dim the light and save me)
Broken lights underneath
A golden bandage
Light spilling through the seams
Too much is blinding
(x2)
My mind has reached its limit
A hole burned in my psyche
Something has to help me function
Now swallow this and you'll feel better
(I can't feel, I can't feel)

Ability
03:37
|

|
these ideas grow cold
stagnant and frozen
crumbling from the pressure
to create only for gain
am I only
my ability
to conjure images
with my hands and voice?
(X2)
sell this spark for profit
it wasn't made for me
created for consumption
artistic duplicity
am I only
my ability?
(X3)
sell! sell!
move onto new pursuits
ideas match the mood
each takes a new piece of me
until I shine at nothing

Hell is Cheaper
03:33
|

Cost of living
Hell is cheaper
Why struggle for
Debt repeating
Greed runs rampant
Sell our future
Land for no one
Old or newer
(x2)
Can't believe my rotten luck
Money comes, money goes
Roll the dice, get a life
30 years nothing to show
Get ahead, knock me down
My boots are wearing thin
Pull me up by the straps
These rich shits always win
They don't care where we live
As long as it's not free
Shoebox homes, highest price
Oversold, out of reach
Dream of more than I have
Stuck living underground
Burrow deep to the core
Our burning youth is found
What was promised isn't true
Sell your soul to rent a room
Why can't they understand
Feeling cheated's nothing new
Tired of feeling stuck
Sell your soul to rent a room
I'm done with sitting by
Feeling cheated's nothing new
Cost of living
Hell is cheaper
Why struggle for
Debt repeating

Ten of Swords
04:56
|
|||
|
You say that I never try
Why would I change when it's
Hard to inspire me with lies
It's not worth fighting for
Not after all this time, not after all this time
I had to make a choice
I had to make a choice, I had to make a choice
You've become my ten of swords
Why would I change when it's
Too late to pull out all your thorns
It's not worth fighting for
Not after all this time, not after all this time
I had to make a choice
I had to make a choice, I had to make a choice
You let me down

Next Time
01:37
|
|||
|
Useless fear of missing out
Being pushed to giving in
Pulling me in two directions
I think I know which one will win
Do you really even want me there?
Better ways to spend your time
Too blacked out to know the difference
Have your fun, and I'll have mine
But please don't leave me out
I changed my mind
I'm loyal to a fault
Until next time
I'll enjoy this sinking feeling
Drown in comfort by myself
Regret floats to the surface
You should probably call someone else
But please don't leave me out
I changed my mind
I'm loyal to a fault
Until next time
Is there a next time?
