No Better Days

The House Of Doubt 01:32
lyrics
On the house of doubt burn the enlightened torches. On the house of doubt feet stay planted on frozen porches. No hope for the goat, not in the sheep’s mouth. He lives in your mouth, and the serpent is your tongue. Bite it off.

It Looks Like Rain 01:41
lyrics
I’ve been plucking out memories and drowning in thoughts. I’m running down memory lane with no intention to stop. My heart stopped beating when I chose to curl up and die. I empty everything out of my lungs when I want to feel alive. Who knows how long it will be till I get off this train. The forecast is dark and they’re singing for rain. Rain Rain Rain I spent so many nights hearing you say nothing was wrong Now everything is ruined and I can’t stop re-writing this song. Don’t worry, someday all that pain will go away. When I’ve got a new shovel for a well deserved grave And I’ve got no more bones to break.

Machines 01:14
lyrics
Digging for salvation with hell at the edge of my mind Still searching for the scars of an afterlife And caught in the created being the creator My mind is full of certainty, and I can’t hold onto anything I’m not saying I’m right I’m not saying I’m wrong. I’m just another kid on his broken knees still begging for the water this desert denies. And I feel so alone amongst the Champagne glasses of human gods. I watch the machine grind up our bones into the dust that’s being snorted up.

Uniformed Gang Memebers 00:14
lyrics
Badges with eyes continue to watch I’ll disappear Badges with eyes continue to watch
5.
I Love You 01:17
lyrics
Dust fills my lungs only to escape again. I’m breaking off pieces of my skin just so I can feel real. I’m the motiveless cancer, compulsive and damaging. I’ll take the advantage, wandering in the alleys of my mind. Indulge in pleasure, collapse conviction Ruining lives, Dying young, I never cared, For anyone.
6.
Oklahoma Summers 02:40
lyrics
Hate filled kids with chips on their shoulders. Living their lives with fake fathers and mothers Wide eyed with nothing to say anymore Pound for pound we’ll match you scar for scar. And the sterile towns open up your chest and find a way to smother The glow in your eyes comes from the countless times we’ve spilt our guts on these streets And those customary feelings that keep us gnashing our teeth Oklahoma summers With Oklahoma Wings The crowd just opened up And swallowed you in. Another break for the unbroken people, the unhappy man under his drunken steeple Another break for the unbroken people, the drunken man under his unhappy steeple That drunken man will never be me.
7.
Apologies 01:03
lyrics
Your mouth Still making claims backed by bigotry Open your mouth just to speak You’re as dead as you’ll ever be Your stance is ignorant and no one gives a fuck what you think We’ve seen it a thousand times, pawns in a masters design You’re still barking about things we can’t see. Taking more than their rights, you’ve become a thief They’re still humans, despite what you believe The world will still keep moving We’re afraid of things that we refuse to see Afraid of people who can’t choose to be what we want them to be.
8.
Mistress 00:59
lyrics
Surrounded by loves that mean nothing to you She’s just another woman for you to abuse and fuck Desperate for affection, she begs for your attention Yet your evil fucking ways will never change. I pray you choke I will watch you choke
9.
Bad Cop, Bad Cop 01:40
lyrics
Glass ceiling, for the ethnic groups. You attempt to purify by means of your poverty Life atop a pyramid, your laws keep innocents off the streets Shut the casket door, throw away the keys The human disease is the plague of our time, but you keep saying it will all be fine All the scary men and women, will be locked up in a three walled prison For every red and blue light setting fire to the sky There is an innocent man rotting in prison waiting to die. Justice is lost Cleanse yourself Jump from the ivory tower
10.
Empty Space 00:38
lyrics
The emptiness you wear over your heart on that jacket of content And those shiny teeth of loneliness and discouragement We’ve cemented our feet here Our happiness is as fake as their skin And the glow from the TV seems to never end It’s all empty space And we’re wasting away on these couches in the places we call home.
11.
Sad Song 03:10
lyrics
Pushing me against my demons Offering me salvation from the warmth and comfort Illuminating the breath in front of me Come back for me “It’s going to be a long one” I catch my breath just to say “I’ve missed you.” Those eyes will take the soul right out of my stare. Come back for me Can you make a promise you can’t keep, or was it a promise at all? More lives to ruin, more families to crumble, more humans to watch expire. Roaches circle my feet and take me to the scum of myself I’ll live side by side with the person I don’t want to be. If you believed in anything, you’d see past the only person you see. Self image keeping you entertained In a field of structure you watch it burn to the ground that’s no longer beneath your feet. And you question the sky because the pain is the only thing you believe in. You watch the depression open its mouth and devour your bones. You can’t feel a thing when it’s all you feel. I can feel it breathing on me neck I’m numb again I never meant to hurt anyone.

Dethrone 00:45
lyrics
My generation pisses themselves into history books Vomit desperation, like a swarm of flies. Grab the king, take him under ground The royal family will die with the sound
13.
Parallel Lines 01:17
lyrics
The only thing you ever meant, was that you never meant a thing Your body is another gallon at the bottom of this endless sea Finding empty solace in a receding sun Chewed up and spit out by the mouth of depression Pigs of sorrow, continue to wallow Digging ditches with obsession
14.
Why Should I? 01:21
lyrics
Why should I care? I still tell myself it meant something because I can’t face it My aspirations for god hood was just the Bible belt around my neck I’m sleeping alone in this hatred for all of you. Why should I?
