Years I been flying Retracing the same old lines Looking down over scaled mountains I'm so high, froze out my goddamn mind I'm up here in solitude Subdued by a lack of fortitude To touch down on level ground Gotta stay up man cause my down is really fucking down Up down up down Maybe one day I'll come around Find my footing and rebound (Nope) Or maybe I'll just keep my head in the clouds And get so lost that I can't be found (Yup) Time's sped, mind's bent, cycle continues (And I'm nose diving) Because I'd be lying if I said I think I could ever land on my feet Crash and burn Ain't ever clipping my fucking wings, got to fly Crash and burn the only way I'm ever coming down again No escaping the space I'm in Soul and sanity both wearing thin My environment is a cold dark mess And I'm feeling less and less and less So weathered by the shit inside my head So snowblind I don't know if I'll ever find solid ground again It's too late
3.	Head Hurt 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Head hurt It's coming down It's always something so my pressures at max Yeah I'm bottling shit up so don't tell me to relax Man fuck a deep breath cause it's a lost cause Flying off the handle again displayin all my flaws Ain't much different than it used to be Still don't seem all real Had some good days that I wish I ain't never felt Cause now every day I gotta wake up again Forget about that shit, and manage this pain And it makes my fucking head hurt Striving for what? My hopes to get crushed? To try to make things better? Yeah I haven't had the luck Used to try to be what I wanted to see from my surroundings But that's only ever fucked me No reciprocation, no reflection, nothing kind Violent rejection, added stress on my mind Mood swinging, skull stinging, jaw aches from the teeth clenching Stay out my way is the message that I'm fucking sending How you ain't received it Guess I gotta make it clear so you don't misread shit Internal pressure got me slated to blow Like a ball of malice compressed Everyday spent callously depressed Been building up slow So that acting familiar shits got to go Cause you got me fucked up Yeah now you're gonna get fucked up Cycle of abuse Your turn Here comes the head hurt Smash smash Yeah head hurt Smash smash Yeah mean mug
4.	Built From Suffering 02:20	lyrics	buy track
Landed face first out the gate Yeah it was wired wrong from the start Better toughen up fast or you're gonna get picked apart You can be quick with your words Or you can just blow a fuckin fuse Smash your world up, wear that shame And spin this cycle of abuse Yeah spin it Head ain't right and it never really was And life ain't good cause nothing that could work out ever truly does How you came up yeah it sticks with you It's carved into your chest You ain't a failure you're just always being put to the test No, not like the rest Cause life is so fucked up And these coward motherfuckers they They ain't built like this Fuck them Fucking built from suffering Is what it is You've only been dealt shit from this world so So smash it the fuck up Cake eating fucks wanna act like they've been through it Putting on a fuckin show, I don't know how they do it So full of shit, these phony bitches make me fucking sick Their whole clique can suck my dick Cause we know they're fucking bluffing Cause they ain't built from suffering (So full of shit) Nah they ain't built for suffering (So fucking fake)
5.	Empty Jesters 02:20	lyrics	buy track
Guess I really had them going for a minute Catching a big laugh then tryin to spin it Got a few problems and all these demons lingering Really I mean I just need something to stop the ringing in my ears Doesn't matter If I'm drugged out, sober, alone or with my crowd This shit is never subtle And it's always fucking loud So if you ain't laughing get the fuck out Cause the head hurt is too fucking much not to drown out Yeah I'm drowning Try comin up for air But all I do is laugh Fall up out my chair Using friends like rafts I need something Really anything to keep me afloat Still no answers here All I gots another fuckin joke Wish we could just laugh this all away Gotta grapple with your shit or else it stays And try to remember what Nate always says "Everybody pays, expect the fuckin same"
6.	Empty Gestures 02:01	lyrics	buy track
Most supposed to be there ain't Some try coming back Like they still have a place When they vacate you gotta disassociate They'll be back later though to pick your bones Gotta hold 'em up by the throat Yeah leave them hanging like they did you Yeah let them know they're through Walk all over me No I walk all over you Maybe nobody wins, but I can't lose No I'd rather die than just take the L Rather carry all this spite than look the other way Despite how you're feeling now Fuck how you're feeling now Bitch I can't just forget Don't care what you regret Empty gestures Nah we don't relate Piss on your fair weather Then I put you in your place Get the fuck out of my face Take your fair weather ass on somewhere Empty gestures Nah we don't relate Piss on your fair weather Then I disassociate Put you in your fuckin' place I don't care
7.	Seein Stars 02:04	lyrics	buy track
I'm so pissed, it feels like the sky came down on my head I'm seein stars, they're burning up Shooting through my eyes I'm in the infrared Catching signals not meant for me that I fully believe Because reality is what you perceive it to be I can't get no grip Wish I could just leave it Because the gravity of the situation Is gonna be hard for me to deal with I'm seeing stars now everyone's gonna have deal with this shit I'm seeing stars, I don't want it to be this way But now everyone's gotta get fucking hit I'm so fucking pissed I can't see straight Untethered burning rage Something more than hate I can't escape these irrational outbursts I won't ever shake Smash everything around me to pieces Until everything around me ceases to exist Yeah I'm so fuckin pissed (You've got no way out of this) How'd you get shit so twisted All the signs, you must have missed them I'm in the infrared seeing stars again I must have missed them
8.	Pain Chain 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Good will and cheer not received around here If the kids had a glow to em it would get snuffed out Because what the fuck any of us had to be happy about Bouncing around as kids sleeping couch to couch Everyday takin on a new defeat Skating through the night with nowhere to be Court dates and police Stealing from people just to get us something to eat People around us trying and succeeding in killing themselves Gets to the point you start seein the whys, the how's, and what it's really all about It's the only way some people know how to get out Addiction and stress, loveless livin hard under duress, nah not like the rest When everyone ain't fighting and abusing one another They're stealing from and using the fuck out of each other Don't know who to trust when you aint got much And the ones that do yeah they look down on you So we took what we could from the cake eating motherfuckers that we knew Thought them bitch ass, rich ass kids was too scared to fight for what was their's Realized they didn't have to 14 the only person lookin out for me tried to OD Luckily it didn't take them from me Because the whole fucking world would have owed me Something it could never payback Now we're back on track 15 my boy hung himself but really bro we was all choked up Got to remember the good times though getting into shit, cracking jokes Oh and you know we was getting fucked up For real that shit was fucked up Could list a dozen names But point is some people don't convey joy for too long And a lot of people just feeling like they been living for too long Shame most of em who let go truly had that glow They just felt they had to snuff it out Over time life seems to lose its fuckin value, huh Pain chain Pain ain't temporary That shit is chained to your memories Stack them up to see how high you got to get to blur that shit out Go on now kid try to forget Pain ain't temporary That shit is chained to your memories Can only put an end to it at the source So you can see why people feel forced to wipe their slate clean End their life I mean No more feelings, no more memories Yeah life don't mean nothing anyway Nah it don't mean nothing to me Got this pain chain wrapped tight around the brain Fuck it Numb it out
9.	Comin Down Again 02:16	lyrics	buy track
Another couple stacks down the drain And another three days I can't explain Gotta cancel our plans today Yeah I'm straight, I just got caught up is what I'll say I'm sure it'll go over really fucking well too Ain't buying any of it You gotta get right man Because it's the same old bullshit Ain't no way I'm leaving my fucking couch today Had a lotta dough, but the dice were cold So pissed off and hurting at the crib I gotta stay I don't even remember doin that much man, what the fuck I don't even remember getting that loose Yeah I must have been real fucked up Had a good ass time though, out with my people Ripping, rolling, and talking all that bullshit Just gotta grind out the next week and I'll be up good again But you know I can't stay away from the booze, the blow, or the gambling Ay bro what's good tonight Come on man you know we're all getting fucked up right Yeah until we see daylight Alright here we go again Yeah we're gettin fucked up Oh buddy you know we're getting fucked up You right, we're getting fucked up again Meet at the bar, cop a ball on your way over Oh you know we'll be hurting when it's all over But when everyday is hell anyway you might as well try to get your kicks Might as well get your kicks
10.	Fade Outro 03:21	lyrics	buy track
No last rites and I gotta say There's really no part that ever hoped to stay Welcome obligation saw it's day Now no longer in each other's way I'm finally free to fade away Finally free to fucking fade away True escape, real relief From all the smiles and gritting teeth Vastness and nothingness all in sync No longer needing to feel complete Void purposeless reflection (What it means to me) Ugly meaningless projection (This is the only thing that's meant to be) This is what it always meant to me Nothing This is what I've always meant to be Gone Nothing Gone I want to be nothing I want to be gone Empty, mute, tensionless, fulfilled The burden of existence is self-willed True clarity is unseen because consciousness acts only as a screen Yeah so forget it all Embrace the space And fucking fade out
