Vessel

I am haunted, cursed
Burdened by the living
Blessed by the ones before me
Who never fought for anything
I never asked to be born
And put in a vessel of your design
Given no warning
To pay for your crimes
This hollow vessel
My world of madness
My chosen fate
Of vast emptiness

Swing With Conviction

Dead eyes like a smoke stained smile
You keep running your mouth
But when the hammer falls
Nothing can save you now
You know well that peace was never an option
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Final judgment
I won't let you slide
Swing with conviction
True justice the hammer falls
Swing with conviction
How dare you waste your breath
You preach your words of hate
You are just a man
And you've sealed your fate

Realm of Grief

I claw at my skin
I cant scratch the itch
Twitching and squirming
You burned down the bridge
Pain in my chest, pain in my head
You play your games
It all ends the same
They tried to warn me
But ignored the signs
Played me a fool for the last time
Another lie I chose to believe
Sink into a realm of grief
Im drowing yet you sink so low
While I die slow
I cant help but scorn your name
I hope you never find peace
Realm of grief

Possessing Power
02:19
|

Life doesn't have to be so cruel
But you've gotta bite first
Or be consumed
Nothing compares
You've got the will to change yourself
Find the power to grasp
The seed is planted
Crushing path of solitude
A flower born to bloom
Just bloom
Into the void
Of disbelief
Just bloom
Into the void of
Uncertainty
Just release me
Im chained to my brain
And the weight is too much to bare
I've got scars that have opened up
And exposed my inner man
I don't wanna fade
Swept up in a sea of doubt
Trapped in a husk of a former me
Let me out
Shed my skin and give me life
I finally stand
Possessing power of myself
Conquer the blights of being a man

Poison King

Living in your isolated mind
You're just taking for granted
All the things we lose with time
It's no skin off your nose
It's not breaking your back
But the clock is still ticking
And a plan is what you lack
Whats your plan of attack?
Saint louis style mother fucker
Don't stop now
Breaking the cycle
A goal easy to attain
So just what are you getting
From trying to complain
About how hard it is
Just trying to be decent
Just shut the fuck up
Man you dont have a reason
Fuck you
So what are you gonna do
Poison my world

Direct Measure

Burning down the final sanctuary
How did things get so wrong
When your freedoms fall to ashes
They'll strike, topple us all
Boots pressed to your neck
Night stick upside your head
This cause can never be lost
Dismantle the burning cross
I dont wanna weep anymore
A tear for every fallen friend
Ask me if I stan your blue life
Punisher, to meet your end
Boots pressed to your neck
Night stick upside your head
This cause can never be lost
Dismantle the burning cross
Direct Measure
We can make the change
A chance to end the game
Tear it down
Destroy
