My blade, at your throat, you fall to me. x2
As we find time to gauge our zen,
the eyes connect, our pupils dilate,
a threat on horizons to detect,
a tale of two who gained and lost respect
my hands are steady, my gaze is locked
expression blank,
i see your sweat, it breaks upon your brow,
just watch me now
As i swing the sword, this is my final draw,
It’s life or death, your fate is what I choose.
When I choose fights I may lose, but to my honour i stay true
Your death will serve as payment.
(You were born from dust, and to dust you shall return. This blade is a conduit to your honour)
Fighting while bleeding,
Still alive I’m not retreating,
Keep your distance if you cherish your life.
Bow down to me worthy adversary,
My blade separates skin from bones.
Your sacrifice is not in vain,
You brought honour to your family name.
As i swing the sword, this is my final draw,
It’s life or death, your fate is what I choose.
When I choose fights I may lose, but to my honour i stay true
Your death will serve as payment.
What you get for the latency is a front row seat to my legacy,
watch me slice so gracefully, your soul leaves out a vacancy.
You’re on your knees and you beg and plead there’s only one thing that you need,
Take your blade, be sure the price is paid - HARAKIRI

(Woah, Woah) You’re too blind to see
(Woah, Woah) Why won’t you listen to me?
I can see through the disguise and the lies,
It’s not a matter of pride I can see inside his mind tonight.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing, at first glance he’s innocent,
With eyes like arrows aimed at her innocence.
She won’t suspect a thing - He’s harmless,
We all know what he wants regardless,
To hide - It’s obvious.
(Woah, Woah) You’re too blind to see
(Woah, Woah) Why won’t you listen to me?
I can see through the disguise and the lies,
It’s not a matter of pride I can see inside his mind tonight.
Repeating the patterns, you’re so self destructive,
quarantine the heart and soul, is it not worth the pain?
I see you falling again and again (again, again)
I tried to help you out the deep end.
Every single word’s a f*cking lie
A twisted narcissist hellbent on manipulation
It’s not a matter of pride.
It’s not a matter of pride, it’s a matter of time,
and it's not worth the pain.

Hopeless

I can feel it in my veins.
Break me down, this cancer grows inside,
it makes me paralysed, the reaper takes his scythe,
I’m way too young to die, it’s eating me alive.
In this undisturbed temple a presence can be seen,
energy increasing tearing out at the seams,
fight back with a fatal stance, and a snake eyed glance,
low percentage chance, just so he can f*ck you again.
You know your days a numbered, its all that you can think,
always edging closer, they pass by with a blink,
even when defeated the evil can return,
with your life thrown down to the pyre your soul is left to burn.
Break me down, this cancer grows inside,
it makes me paralysed, the reaper takes his scythe,
I’m way too young to die, it’s eating me alive.
Waiting for the day.
A treatment for the damned.
Breaking me down, this is pointless.
Breaking me down, this is hopeless.
I can feel it in my veins.
Break me down, this cancer grows inside,
it makes me paralysed, the reaper takes his scythe,
I’m way too young to die, it’s eating me alive.
F*cking waste of time.

Isolation

You tried to keep me close but it makes me search for more,
you see clear skies, i see the rain about to fall.
And that’s how you hold me down, with the hands across my face,
begging me to stick around, when im alone my mind’s at ease.
sometimes we find ourselves blinded by the spells
you can’t fight the fire between us but i feel myself getting colder
you’re there one that acts this way won’t let me out this endless maze.
And that’s how you hold me down, with the hands across my face,
begging me to stick around, when I’m alone my mind’s at ease.
Just don’t feel right, feeling worthless inside,
I won’t let this pain last forever.
Everyone knows this will end in pain,
Don’t wanna feel this way again.
These broken chains cannot be mended, but you won’t let me end it.
And that’s how you hold me down, with the hands across my face,
begging me to stick around, when I’m alone my mind’s at ease.
And that’s how you hold me down, (me down) with the hands across my face, (my face)
begging me to stick around, when I’m alone my mind’s at ease (my mind’s at ease)
Just don’t feel right, feeling worthless inside,
I won’t let this pain last forever.
(Woah) Forever

Hold Me Back

Someone hold me back.
I can’t control myself (I’m f*cking sinking)
Almost like I’m someone else (what am I thinking?)
Learned to live with my mistakes,
I go up but hit the ground like an earthquake.
Is this what I’ve become?
I am the cause of my defeat.
Just a fragment of what I’ve become,
Someone has got to rescue me.
I’ve hidden all my life,
the curse that dwells inside,
I act like I am immortal.
Seen the loved ones lose their trust,
the highs crumble to dust,
but everybody’s got what they’re after.
I’ll never see the end, I can’t even pretend,
One drop away from agony.
Its killing me internally (eternally)
How do I relinquish this curse? I don’t
Is this what I’ve become?
I am the cause of my defeat.
Just a fragment of what I’ve become,
Someone has got to rescue me.
If I can’t run from who I am that just isn’t me.
Cursed from birth and born to die - it’s meant to be.
Those streetlights, they burn so bright,
In the colour of my eyes there’s dynamite.
My skin it crawls away from my integrity.
Someone Hold Me Back… Someone Hold Me.

Numbered Days

I see the oceans rising,
Consequences of the past,
Nothing lasts forever,
But we should try, we should change.
The world is at it's end,
Goodbye my dear old friend,
See the error in our ways,
We're all on Numbered Days.
What change is being done?
Can you see what we've become?
See the error in our ways,
We're all on Numbered Days.
So f*cking wasteful,
So damn ungrateful,
We held this world in the palm of our hands.
Now it's too late to make to make you understand,
Now it's too late for our final stand,
Now it's too late, it's the final hour,
You can always stand by me.
Stand by my side as we watch the tide (repeat)
The world is at it's end,
Goodbye my dear old friend,
See the error in our ways,
We're all on Numbered Days.
What change is being done?
Can you see what we've become?
See the error in our ways,
We're all on Numbered Days.
We're all on Numbered Days (repeat)
