AFTER ME, THE FLOOD LYRICS

1. Dark Times

[feat. Brendan Of Counterparts And Tony Of Saints Never Surrender]

This is what I was born into. A cold dark world, filled with emptiness. I was given every opportunity to succeed and lead a path with no dead ends but my spirit started to wear down, my hands became callus, everything came clear to me. Most of us are subject to wrong and
this is what we're born into we'll learn from, we'll fade from, we'll die from. Most of us won't experience love. That’s what causes these are dark times we live in. I'm looking forward to a future that I’m not sure isn't even there. The world is weighing down on me,
and my misfortune had me broken. I go through this everyday and succumb to all its negative ways. I rehearse what the blind eye sees, I've succumbed to being empty. A hopeless feeling constricts what I have left. Letting go should have never been so easy. Will I climb
out of this hole I fell into? Can anyone save me? From myself? Save me From myself.

2. Abandonment

When I failed myself I failed everyone else. No one is here for me and no one is coming back. I turned my back on the ones I loved and fell into the nothingness I've become. The world's behind me and I hope it disappears. Such a miserable existence. I never wanted to be
forgotten I was just to proud to admit it and now I’ve been abandon but, I’m still searching. Still searching for who I'm suppose to be. When I failed myself I fail everyone else, damn this misery for always loving my company. Damn this misery for always loving my
company.

3. Blood Loss

All the times I've said that tomorrow was the day that memories were made of was because of you. It's the special bond I shared with the people that came with it. Child like ambitions held us together we didn't have a care in the world, but your never around anymore and
that just proves one thing to me. Even the strongest foundations crumble. This is us falling apart. And I watched drift away from the promises you said you would keep for me. The worst part was that I didn't try to stop you from slipping away. Memories are all I have
left of what we use to be and when tomorrow came you weren't apart of it. Your to busy living a life you don't have. I'm to busy living a life I don't. This is us letting life get in the way of living. We were ripped apart from years of building each other up. We turned
our backs and walked away from a lifetime of memories we made. Foundations crumbles, things fall apart, but fragments still can remain but we have become the walking testament of letting our lives get in the way of living.

4. Stray Dogs

[feat. Ian Of It Prevails]

A life with no direction, no purpose or no reason has its up's and down's for me. But I have my comrade at my side and we have walked with each other for as long as I can remember and we will walk for as long as this life will let us, but society has gotten in the way of
us and I don't know where to go from here. Here's to all the good times we have shared and all the memories made. Decisions have gotten in-between us and now we stray from the path. Filling the need to hurry up to where we are belong but having no idea where it that is.
Now that our lives are in complete disarray, we try to make the most of what we have left. But time won't get the best of us, it never has. Here's to all great times we have shared and all the memories we have made. We are nothing more than stray dogs. No direction, no
purpose, just each other.

5. The Things I've Done

I grow tired of the change that’s taken place within my heart. My morals have gone to shit. And even though I tried to make sense of it this transition didn't stop even though I tried. My growth as a human came to a stop, poison grab on and didn't let go. I was cut off
from the world. My selfish ways are bringing me down. Whatever happened to the me I use to know. My selfish ways of thinking are bringing me down. I just want things to go back to the way they were. What the fuck will it take to correct all of this? I wasn't prepared for
this kind of life style. I was raised better than this. I miss the feeling of being happy. No longer pure, no longer clean. The person I use to be died inside of me. I've changed for the worst.

6. The Reasons Why

[Instrumental]

7. Truth Is…

[feat. Jay Of Defeater]

Did I even deserve you from the start? Confined to my lustful ways I always push you away. I wanted to be a demonstration for being pure, but behind these closed doors no one will see the real me. My lustful ways are crippling, but I'll stand straight up so you
don't notice me, falling. I wanted to hold a smile on your face, for as long as you'll let this continue, but for some reason I feel like things will not change. I do not know what you see in me, I am no king I wear no crown and if I ever told you the truth would you
still keep me around? My head weighs heavy with no crown to weigh it down and no queen here for my sympathy. Truth is I never wanted this, for you and me.

8. Watching Over Me

Are you still watching over me? A overcasting shadow of doubt has grown into a cloud of sin, sickness and death. This generation has lost sight in the truth but how can we believe in something we can't see? We witness sin from the ones that are suppose to protect us. We
witness sickness grip the hearts of our loved ones. Death is impossible to stop but we hate you for taking what we don't want to let go. Did you ever lose sight in us? Did you feel like giving up? I use to look at you as a symbol, a sign of hope, a sign of direction. But
damn this generation, for destroying you in my eyes. Will you still listen when I ask for help? Will you forgive me for my doubts?

9. Ripped From The Coast

My Mother,do you believe in me? Did I turn out to be the person you wanted me to be? My Father, do you see yourself in me? Did I turn out to be the person you wanted me to be? My gasping for air, running from this fear of losing you some day. The coast line it gets
higher. I just stand there and watched it sink. Ill miss you when your gone but I thank god you taught me how to carry on. And I am gasping for air. What am I suppose to do, when I have no one to look up? This is what I feel like, I am nothing, I am no one. The coast
line it gets higher. I just stand there and watched it sink. Ill miss you when your gone but I thank god you taught me how to carry on. I'll miss you when your gone. You were ripped from the coast.

10. End Times And Better Days

[feat. Daniel Of Ugly Colors]

There are things I could never tell
for I may dig my own grave
I’ll keep 'em bottled inside until
I’m no longer your slave
End times and better days
Without the weight on my shoulders
A drought to a tidal wave
Float free no friends or family
So they'll never get to see
What really came of me
And i would be alone
Without a thing but my soul
In ocean of my secrets
That nobody will know
Forever I will keep them
And I will keep them close
I'll die with my secrets.
