Verse 1 Screaming attack your family bloodshed cutting you own hand demons speaking tearing your hair from its roots claw marks running up and down bleeding feeling digging fingers into your flesh trying to contain whats next breathing breathing Bridge waves of demons rotting your core non belief has opened a sore Verse 2 gnashing at the child you love cursing the day he was born small bones bruised bones tell him mom will keep him safe hold him tighter and tighter choking clawing a light trying to enter here saving the breath of a child long gone last hope Bridge a pill in the throat numbs it all blindness is pain free killing Chorus Her eyes gone cold empty soul death rots her away Verse 3 walks in a knife at his head missing only by inches the anger seething he goes for his only son wanting to redirect you slapping yelling you pull and gnash your teeth around over powered by his strength you're done you’re done Bridge overwhelming feelings are here death in rotting in her vile stare Chorus Her eyes gone cold empty soul death rots her away Fast verse Hearing the siren call panicking in fear you didn't mean this it really took control screaming names aloud of ancient world below fast verse 2 strong men in white coats enforced by a badge feeling animal they wont understand through this it was love you needed to cleanse Last chorus Lie awake in the room padded wall to wall death rattles and shakes chilling to the bone waiting for the day we can go home

4.	The Urge 05:45	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Sitting in the Coldest of rooms Holding myself back Returning to be me and just me making the voices silent this is a new day I have seen a mercy gave to rise amongst Chorus Itching on my face anxiety to control the urge of murder and to deny the completion Verse 2 they talk to me analyze me I'm maintaining control I can subdue I'm in control no one set me off pay attention or they’ll put you back in the room the burning is rising Chorus Itching on my face anxiety to control the urge of murder and to deny the completion Bridge You asked the wrong thing but I'm to blame? Rage is building I smell your blood I lunge forward biting your neck taste of fresh blood iron on my tongue verse 3 I'm sorry that man he had to die it builds in me calming his skin on my teeth pressing in deep watch his blood drain all life I'm better dead no hope for me lock me away for your safety

Verse clean Now that – my flesh is dead – I’m dying And I – am reborn again – through water and blood Chorus Now tear this out and throw it all away I need burned, burn it all clean verse dirty I can feel your spirit grinding away at me soothing out all the pain residing now in me I’m cleansed Throw my mind into the depths of your deepest flame I surrender my life I will walk beside of you submit Chorus Now tear this out and throw it all away I need burned, burn it all clean bridge 1 You have carried – Me through all consequence – corridors of time seeing far past – all the legion No longer – Clawing at me Impenetrable – armor of one taking me- into all – eternity chorus 2 Fulfilled – all life conquer – all death fast verse 1 All the light is blinding me from endless pain suffering, sickness, your stench, death is leaving chorus 2 Fulfilled – all life conquer – all death fast verse 2 sacrifice is not your desire its only mercy in which I have gained from your wisdom blackened verse Keep me alive in the flame A stench released that I have knew disgust putrid and vile bring a coal and put it to me burn my tongue so it speaks clean a new heart im free This is – my return – the life -I will live no more – walking dead- my eyes- have his light end LIFE
