Respect 00:39
I will never ask forgiveness from a person with no respect but a higher authority It's time to endeavour to a civil point of view that highlights the potential of the so-called trouble makers The youth of these days are constantly criticised for their free minds and carefree attitudes Respect is a two way street and you should not expect the people that you treat like shit to not fight you back

Willbreaker 03:38
I know, I know you'll never see how I see You know, you know I'll never believe what you believe Somehow you think if you persist you'll change me I'll make my own mind up about this world Stay away and let me find my way Don't try and make my mind up The things that you say and the price that you pay The price of giving up Stay away and let me find my way Don't try and make my mind up The things that you say and the price that you pay Will never be enough I will never be what you need You people never learn It's all just pointless greed Watch as your bridges burn As we fight to claim back What's been taken from us We'll stand here, defiant You never earned our trust What you have chosen to believe Is not the way that I see You're treading water on your search for truth Living a lie, you will never be free Mindset so cold, I will not concede
3.
Condemned 01:39
So leave me here to rust away Forget all the lies I tell As night requires day Know I put you through hell Is this what I'm condemned to? To live a life without a heart Forever searching for something Forever falling apart
4.
Buried above ground Blinded by all that is I cannot justify the way we live Like fucking slaves Subscribe to dominance Positivity struggles to breathe We remain buried above ground Blinded, misguided We remain buried above ground Without the hope for change Remove the veil from in front of your eyes To see them suffering To know you are alive Are you? Are you alive? Buried above ground Blinded by all that is I cannot justify the way we live Like fucking slaves Confined to dominance Positivity struggles to breathe

Unclear 02:27
(You left me) Hanging on by the skin of my teeth (I was left) Down and out, nothing to hold on to (You left me) Hanging on for my dear life (I was left) Hanging on to the edge of this knife There’s nothing for me here Nothing but the cold and my own fear My death wish outspoken My purpose so broken Bright lights shine over me Lighting my scars passion so bleak Fallen out again, I’m screaming Black heart and clenched fist dreaming My passion, my fear My future, unclear
6.
You used to love the people who love you You abandoned all love for your new found views The friends who cared are the friends you should cherish But instead your affairs have left them to perish You speak about drugs as if they hold they key They are the thugs who kill clarity I cannot convince you to think against your will 'Cause then you would have the same opinion still Your mind is fried but that's your concern In a few years time think of those you have burned You chose a path It's been walked before The farce you hated is the farce you adore A riddle repeated time and time again Your life, depleted Alone with no friends In search of your spirit It does not exist You're way past the limit but you still persist To walk alone, solidarity out of sight You can't postpone these years of your life Your mind is fried but that's your concern In a few years time think of those you have burned There is more to life than self indulgence You've lost the fight against your drug fuelled submergence You're dead to me, mentally And I'll try to forget Those years you were free But I will not let You linger in my mind For I live for the future I can't waste my time (On a burnt fucking picture)
