Genesis 01:12
[Instrumental]

Go [Verse 1] I've trusted you with everything I have Molded you into a role model As you Sat back and fed me the lies that you lie You were nothing to me So you've died in my mind [Bridge 1] And everything I know You've never showed me how [Chorus] I can't remember the last time You called me son (called me son) I don't remember the last time You called me son (called me son) [Bridge 2] Where are you? [Verse 2] It's a blur in my (blur in my) mind All of the times that you stood for me In my time of need I won't let these memories get to me All of you Is dead to me [Bridge 1] And everything I know You've never showed me how [Chorus] I can't remember the last time You called me son (called me son) I don't remember the last time You called me son (called me son) [Ending] And the memories That you took from me I don't want these memories anymore

[Intro] Can't you see? This isn't working [Verse 1] I can't give up on you [x2] Nothing seems to work Over and over again Over again And not knowing where I'll go from here Not knowing where I'll go from here Not knowing [Chorus] It's hard for me to give up on you And I can't believe this is what it comes to It's hard for me to give up on you But I can't believe this is what it comes to [Verse 2] For what it's worth I feel myself turning inside out I tell myself You're never gonna get to me [Bridge] I forget Who you really are You don't mean shit to me For what it's worth I feel myself turning inside out [Chorus] It's hard for me to give up on you And I can't believe this is what it comes to It's hard for me to give up on you But I can't believe this is what it comes to [Verse 3] Nothing seems to work Over and over again Not knowing where I'll go from here [x3]

Perspective 04:51
[Verse 1] Fuck I can't wait for the misery to dissipate In my mind I only see black and minor shades of grey When I wake and I regret all I've came to recollect Every night is just the same [Chorus 1] Please wake me up I don't want this anymore I can't see where I've fallen [Verse 2] Take my misery And everything you've ever given to me Even this fucking worthless life Take it all Even this fucking worthless life I really just want to fucking die Fucking die No [Breakdown] Decimate, desecrate breaking down everything just to change our ways But it never works Never Always relocate your focus away from the suffering Never Failure's not a choice, but a definite demise [Chorus 2] Please wake me up I don't want this anymore Happiness ripped away Never to be seen again Happiness ripped away Never to be seen again [Hardcore groove] And the cycle begins again Crawling deep beneath my skin Down my throat, and in my lungs Approaching my lifeline with death to come Here we go one more time Pick up the pace so I can end my life The only enemy is myself Can't you hear me screaming for help? Wake me up [Chorus 2] Please wake me up I don't want this anymore Happiness ripped away Never to be seen again

Lifted 04:40
Oh Let's go [Verse 1] Mere days remain Bringing nothing but pain People pass me by Minds to themselves As I lay here Praying for help Might as well give it all up now [Bridge] No mercy on my soul Take me now Bring me to death's toll Where there is nothing but silence Bring me to death's toll Sew my mouth shut so I may never speak again (x2) [Chorus 1] I lay underneath the ground Looking at the sky Shovels begin to dig At the end of my life I lay here looking up As the dirt fills up my eyes And there's an empty ceremony with no tears to cry [Verse 2] My eyelids peeled, it was all just a dream Now I am forced to relive everything that I've seen Death is within my reach Please pull the plug so I can finally rest in peace I can finally rest in peace So I can finally rest in peace [Chorus 2] As I lay underneath the ground Shovels begin to dig At the... End of my.. [Breakdown x2] Time's up Dead end Breathless Silence seeps in [Ending] Take me away Heart stops Body decay When death comes calling Vanquish my name Vanquish my name

Dead Weight 04:22
[Verse 1] They're always watching Waiting for us to fall But we'll keep breathing Fighting for what we've done Fighting for what we've done This won't defeat us This won't defeat us The dead weight consumes us all [Chorus] I've never seen such tragedy There's nothing left of you Nothing's what it seems There's no getting to you Your reflection is shattered The dead weight consumes us all [Verse 2] They're always watching Waiting for us to fall But we'll keep on breathing Fighting for what we've done [Interlude] They're always watching Waiting for us to fall But we'll keep on breathing [Post-Interlude] Where are you? Where are you? Where have you always been? What of us? What of us? What are we supposed to be? What are we supposed to be? Tell me What are we supposed to be? Supposed to be. Supposed to be. Supposed to be. [Chorus] I've never seen such tragedy There's nothing left of you Nothing's what it seems There's no getting to you Your reflection is shattered [Ending] This won't defeat us Dead weight consumes us all Wanting forgiveness We hear them beg as they crawl We hear them beg as they crawl We hear them beg as they crawl
