Dead Spirit, Pt. 2
Wake up, wake up, we're in battle royale Blind hate is justified Judgment comes from the authors A black sheep trending for the next blind slaughter A little knowledge is a dangerous thing We’re going blind when the choir sings (Choir sings) What's the flavor of the month? When all logic dies for the sake of a hunch Control, it's all control It pollutes our soul Do you know what you’re breathing in? What made us lose control, it's all control A taste for blood, you better run Don't want our backs against the wall Get up, get up, we're stuck in thе mud Locked in a state of mind The dеaf, the blind, the silent Feeds on the fat of an ignorant diet Stray from the path, no compromise Don't let fear control your mind Break away and own yourself Question everything, worship nothing Control, it's all control It pollutes our soul Do you know what you're breathing in? What made us lose control, it's all control A taste for blood, you better run Don’t want our backs against the wall It’s burning through our skin The fear of everything The fear is bound within We're paying for our sins With borrowed thoughts we’re set to fail We'll never sing a word again We're set to fail, going straight to the grave We're set to fail, we have lost our way Control, it’s all control It pollutes our soul Do you know what you're breathing in? What made us lose control, it's all control That fucking taste for blood, you better run Don't want your backs against the wall Backs against the wall

This is the breaking point Have you lost your voice? Your sorry soul doesn't even know shit's going down It's revolution You're down for the count You're down for the count I can't believe what I see The joker brought to the knees Now I inform the time has come No more big roles You're gonna crash, you're gonna burn It's time you get what you deserve Tonight you'll feel inverted emotions You're gonna crash, you're gonna burn This is the end, you lost your turn Tonight, you'll feel inverted emotions It's revolution It's revolution You'rе an actor, a chain reactor In a crowd of endless laughtеr Let it sink in They smell the blood and your spirit, it reeks of sin There is nothing more to say You were the hunter, now you, you are the prey An endless thirst for blood, a hunger next to none The bigger you are, the harder you fall Keep that in mind at your downfall You're gonna crash, you're gonna burn It's time you get what you deserve Tonight you'll feel inverted emotions You're gonna crash, you're gonna burn This is the end, you lost your turn Tonight you'll feel inverted emotions It's revolution Bloodstained, what a mess I made, you took it all away Amend, another beast contained You'll go down, make no mistake Patterns come alive, I breathe on, I breathe on All these patterns come alive, I breathe on, I breathe on Bloodstained, what a mess I made, you took it all away Amend, another beast contained Still held down, make no mistake

I close my eyes, I see a black ring of wings Always within me, always near I float away from myself and see a hole in my head My soul is leaking for you to take it Stay away We see time is bending, chasing silhouettes The axe falls today Let come what may and I don't care The world you know will burst Let come what may and I don’t care Chasing silhouettes My teeth were sharp, now they seem to decay I need something to bite through, something to break As I close my eyes, I see myself burning alive You waste my time, pollute my mind, left me out to die (Out to die) Learning how to navigate in a sea of past mistakes I've been chasing silhouettes For so long I've been a quiet pretender Reading faces, I cannot help it Need a place where I am someone else Somewhere I can find the animal in me Chasing silhouettes You had me right exactly where you wanted me My limbs were shaped to your needs I will go way out of line, now witness me electrified Time was wasted in between the days we thought we had (We thought we had) I will go way out of line every waking hour I’ve been chasing silhouettes For so long I've been a quiet pretender Reading faces, I cannot help it Need a place where I am someone else Somewhere I can find the animal in me Stay away We see time is bending, chasing silhouettes The axe falls today Let come what may and I don't care I've been chasing silhouettes For so long I've been a quiet pretender Speak up, kill the silhouettes Reading faces (Reading faces), I cannot help it (I cannot help it) Need a place where I am someone else Somewhere I can find the animal in me Now be afraid of the animal in me That part of me that is the animal in me The axe will fall today Let come what may and I don't care You will never, never see me fall I'll bash right through it all Need a place where I am someone else Now that I have found the animal in me

Am I dead or alive, am I going insane? I get no rest 'cause I need to keep my mask in place A shadow covers it all I hide away with the sun, I'm done I've got nowhere to run I've got nowhere to run Feels like I am my own worst enemy, enemy I lost myself along the way, myself betrayed I fear what I've become I am the one and only who could bring it all back again I kill myself to live (I kill myself to live) Here comes the noise again and I start to prеtend I chase the shadows, I will follow thеm to the end As time tears me apart I bear this cross around with no exit to find I hold the pain within until the walls cave in Feels like I am my own worst enemy, enemy I lost myself along the way, myself betrayed I fear what I've become I am the one and only who could bring it all back again I kill myself to live I stay in here, turn every stone Until I find my way back home I need a place where I can breathe Until I find my way back home Feels like I am my own worst enemy Feels like I am my own worst enemy, enemy I lost myself along the way, myself betrayed I fear what I've become I am the one and only who could bring it all back again I kill myself to live I stay in here, turn every stone Until I find my way back home I stay in here, turn every stone Until I find my way back home

Breathe in Breathe it in It cuts like a knife through your existence Where our ignorance is bliss Creating an echo of dissonance You're unable to dismiss Your hands are shaking The pain is getting worse These walls are caving in I stand and watch it burn A growing chain of regret Each day it's getting harder to breathe The pain is draining the inside, your inside Breathe in and spit it out into my face Leave it all to break out then erase I'll bite the bullet to change me (To change me) Truth won't let you be detached from reality Breathe it in I have crashed and I have burned I've left no stone unturned, I'm tearing walls down Ram it to the ground Scar tissue unseen, I'm staring into the abyss But when it looked back at me, I flinched, I flinched A growing chain of regret A growing chain of regret Each day it's getting harder to breathe, can't breathe The pain is draining the inside, your inside Breathe in and spit it out into my face Leave it all to break out then erase I'll bite the bullet to change me (To change me) Truth won't let you be detached from reality Just breathe it in Just breathe it out Just breathe it in I'll bite the bullet to change me I'll bite the bullet to change me
