Came into the world Trampled it to death Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath Came and took the world Now there's nothing left Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath The gate we crossed was deep and wide Swimming with the tide Took the keys to the city halls Left it without walls Destruction has drawn us near Now watch as we disappear Soon we'll all disappear Gone without a trace It's right in front of our face Tell me, who can you still trust When the world is so unjust? Land of the free, home of our grave This is not how it was supposed to be We came into the world And trampled it to death Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath We came and took the world And now there's nothing left Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath The profit is supreme The American dream We suffer in the streets It's all for the greater greed Attracted to the traction Leading to our extraction Time is up Nowhere left to run Nowhere left to run Came into the world Trampled it to death Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath Came and took the world Now there's nothing left Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath We came into the world And trampled it to death Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath We came and took the world And now there's nothing left Bitterness on our breath Bitterness on our breath

Break it, break it down Break it, break it down Your demise, your demise Break it, break it down All the lies, all the lies Break it, break it down I despise, I despise Break it, break it down This is where it dies This is where it dies There is no peace in this place Have we fallen from grace Break it, break it down We've been overrun This can't be undone So tell me more Tell me, tell me more about it No, time is up I don't want to hear about it Such depravity Hate is learned in the home No empathy Hate is grown when you roam There is no peace in this place Have we fallen from grace Take a look around and listen Listen to the sound Break it, break it down Your demise, your demise Break it, break it down All the lies, all the lies Break it, break it down I despise, I despise Break it, break it down This is where it dies This is where it dies

Listen up Drop, drop Spiteful hatred disguised as pride Multiplying the divide No more room to hide I think it's time To pick a side There's no in between Drop the guillotine There's no in between Drop the guillotine On hatred On anger On resent The end Do you feel it Do you feel it Listen up Drop, drop Do you see it now Do you hear it now Do you feel it now Are you watching now You are watching now This is just a simple case Of cause and effect You've created the disconnect What did you expect What did you expect Now you Feel it

The Mansion 03:25
The mansion is getting cold The mansion is full so I've been told I still blame myself I still shame myself I think this is the fall I think I've lost it all The mansion is getting cold The mansion is full so I've been told It seems the place that's been prepared for me Is locked and I can't find the key Will I let go Will I fall below Will I lose my grip Will I rot I just don't know Will I die slow Will I feel sorrow Will I get a spot Will I not I just don't know Spit me out To the sea Wailing, wildly So I ask, When I meet my death Will I die with bitter breath I'm losing sight of the promise that's been paid Will I ever escape this mess I've made

At The Gates 01:58
Time to confess You made this mess Say your prayers just to keep you safe This is unorthodox And I'm still here Stuck in a paradox If I see you at the gates Would you look the other way Stage is set Grave is dug Watch me Watch me as I pull the plug You are not Sing the psalm, cash the check Exempt Hands held high in the sky You are not justified Time to confess I made this mess
8.
You want me to walk on water But I'm drowning on the inside In fear of what awaits I lost myself along the way And to my dismay Said some things I can't unsay Loudest in the room My impending doom So why does destruction Now feel like devotion (Nowhere to roam) All of this corruption Led me to the ocean (Carry me home) I just want to feel something But I feel absolutely nothing I feel so lost Quick to talk back Silence I lack Right when I'm wrong String them along Open the wound Pour in the salt Now you're consumed Myself I now exalt So why does destruction Now feel like devotion (Nowhere to roam) All of this corruption Led me to the ocean (Carry me home) Caught up in the rift Currents start to shift Watch me as I now Slowly start to drift Caught up in the rift Currents start to shift Watch me as I now Slowly start to drift I'm still I'm still I'm still drowning on the inside I feel so lost

As you wandered away I just wondered why As you faded to gray I just watched you die As you laid to decay I just stood by I just stood by You take You snake You thief Coward You can't escape me You let them win Buried in sin Now you're trapped in darkness You take You snake You thief Coward You can't escape me You let them win Buried in sin Now you're trapped in darkness Was it all worth it Carry, carry until your lungs collapse Bury, bury so you can hide the past You became the change You let them rearrange One with the soil, one with the dirt The world will sit back and watch you hurt Collapsing Collapsing carefully You gave it all away You have been led astray Here in the ground you lay You gave it all away As the pressure starts to build in my chest I start to think if I gave it my best I must confess I've made this mess, so Lay with me as I'm laid to rest I am the catalyst of collapse With all the bitterness on my breath I will take this to my death Carry, carry until your lungs collapse Bury, bury so you can hide the past You became the change You let them rearrange One with the soil, one with the dirt The world will sit back and watch you hurt Collapsing Collapsing carefully Collapsing
