1. The Worst Of Both Worlds

Cursed
I face the worst of both worlds in every place that I turn
It’s hard enough to find balance between
When each side’s destroying a part of me
I need a way
Need a way to snap this curse
Cause I can’t keep up
Can’t keep up when I’m in reverse
I face the worst of both worlds in every place that I turn
It’s hard enough to find balance between
When each side’s destroying a part of me
I fought to find a way
To rid myself of the shame
I never found a way
To carry the blame I have been cursed
I face the worst of both worlds in every place I turn
Now all I need for me is a way to break this curse
Worst of both worlds

2. Life's Plan

Still on the search for peace within my mind
Ills of this earth have left me nothing to find
But I can’t seem to shake that feeling inside
In every corner I turn I see a dream I let die
My first mistake was trying to keep up a pace
So i could stay in a race that led me straight to my grave
So now I turn away
I leave behind the fools that won’t change their fate
If life’s plan for me is to be this way
Then I’m scratching and crawling to stay away
If life’s plan for me is to be this way
Then I’m fighting and pulling to stay far away
Life’s plan
Still on the search for peace within my mind
Ills of this earth have left me nothing to find
No longer living with this hole in my chest
I won’t be forced down this line towards an end with the rest
Now that I’ve seen the way that this world turns
I’m bowing out of this race but others never learn
They reach the finish line and all they get is a dead feeling inside
If life’s plan for me is to be this way
Then I’m scratching and crawling to stay away
If life’s plan for me is to be this way
Then I’m fighting and pulling to stay far away
Life’s plan
I’ll stay far away
Life’s plan
For me
What’s so understand?
It’s just the way I am
Another angry man
Trapped in this life without a plan
Everyone’s caught in the race

3. Too Close

You left me out
That’s why I’m empty now
I need that piece of me back
I need that piece of me back
So I can kill my past and start from scratch
I brought you too close
I lowered my guard
I need that piece of me you stole away
I brought you too close
Now cause of you
I can’t get out of this hell
You left me out
And I’m still empty now
But what you wanted from me
I couldn’t give
I’ve seen the warning signs and the whole time
I brought you too close
I lowered my guard
I need that piece of me you stole away
I brought you too close
Now cause of you
I can’t get out of this hell
I brought you in too close
Trusted you with my life
I brought you in too close
And then I watched you pull the plug
What you wanted from me
I couldn’t give to you
So I’m not looking back
Just want to bury my past
I brought you in too close

4. Violent Split

First we said that we’d never part
Broke my trust but that was just the start
I never thought it would come to this
You’re another down, crossed off my list
Damaged what’s sacred
Not the path that I chose
A violent split of the two
Let it be known
This hate between us is running straight to my bones
I have grown away from him so just leave it alone
Damaged what’s sacred
Not the path that I chose
A violent split of the two
We broke our bonds and I’m moving on
So I’ll make sure that it stays the truth
We grew apart, that’s where it began
Now I don’t ever want to see you again
You left me out stranded at sea
I know we’re blood but you’re still dead to me
A violent split

5. The Greater Good

Strayed away as I grew with age
The love and hate could never separate
I’m left alone cause of the choice I made
And you wiped the smile right off my fucking face
Why can’t you look for the greater good?
Why won’t you look for the greater good?
I found mine so now I sacrifice
I’ll tread my way but I’ll always wonder why
I’m dismissed by the both of you
Just for the course that I choose
Dismissed by the both of you
My road splits in two
I know this world too well
You gotta look out for yourself
I know this world too well
Can’t change for anybody else
Why can’t you look for the greater good?
Why won’t you look for the greater good?
I know this world too well
The lesson learned when dragged through this hell
I’m dismissed by the both of you
Just for the course I choose
Dismissed by the both of you
My road splits in two
To do what’s right for me or change it all for you
Dismissed by the both of you
But in this life I seek some truth
I know this world too well
You gotta look out for yourself

6. Scratch The Past

I’m searching for a sign so I can make it by
Scratch the past out from my eyes and move on with my life
I’m searching for a sign so I can make it by
I’ve reached the end of my road and I’m still torn between choices
Should I bring back what has died?
Or scratch the past out of my eyes?
I’m searching for a sign and I’m still torn between choices
Show me a sign

7. Darker Half

I keep pushing for something to push me
Far from the days where I fight to keep myself sane
Death’s on the way so I turn around my rage
Won’t let my darker half control my ways
It’s safe to say I’m not the only one
It’s always been easier said than done
I’ve seen their fall so now it’s time for a change
Won’t let my darker half control my ways
Been waiting for something to set me apart from pain
Why would you lead me this way?
Won’t let my weaker side consume my days
It’s safe to say I’m not the only one
It’s always been easier said than done
I’ve seen their fall so now it’s time for a change
Won’t let my darker half control my ways
I’d rather spend my days in pain than send my dreams right down the drain
Won’t let my darker half control my ways
Won’t let my worst betray what I’ve earned
My darker half won’t control my ways
Won’t let my worst betray what I’ve earned
That’s always easier said than done
I’ve let this world disprove all that I’ve grown
To know the day I questioned my own
Done spending my time feeding my weaker side
I turn the page on those lies
Easier said than done

8. Hard To See

I’ve always been misunderstood
So why should I expect for things to change?
Throughout my life everyone’s been questioning
What goes through my head
And why I won’t snap out of it
What they never see is all the times it saved my life
I’ve said a thousand times that I know the reasons why
Why I take from all my time
Forever burned inside my mind
But for them it’s so hard to see
I’m not looking back
What goes through my head
And why I won’t snap out of it
But I chose my path
So i will forge my way
I’ve said a thousand times that I know the reasons why
Why I take from all my time
Forever burned inside my mind
I see no light at the end of the road
But now I have a place to go
For you it’s hard to see
All the things I see and what I’ll always be
For you it’s hard to see
But I can’t count on you
I’ll just count on me

9. Erase The Rat

Hid from the truth
Lied to the youth
Now I see those words
They mean nothing to you
What you’re selling
I won’t buy
You sucked this dry
When will they realize?
Erase the rat
You’ve been dead in my heart
So why the fuck won’t you die in my eyes?
I need to expose who you are
You’ve been dead in my heart
So why the fuck won’t you die in my eyes?
So I can erase the rat
Hid from the truth
Lied to the youth
Now I see those words
They mean nothing to you
What you’re selling
I won’t buy
You sucked this dry
When will they realize?
I don’t owe you
This won’t happen on my watch
I don’t owe you
I just need to expose who you are
Erase the rat
You’ve been dead in my heart
So why the fuck won’t you die in my eyes?
I need to expose who you are
You’ve been dead in my heart
So why the fuck won’t you die in my eyes?
So I can erase the rat
Erase the rat

10. Enough To Know

I’ve seen enough to know that some of you have to go
Can’t let the bad drive the good away
The cure will never be far out of our reach
We gotta fight this war to secure our peace
I’m getting sick the way things are
So I’m putting my foot down
It is so hard just to see the light
Darkness surrounds me
Putting my foot down
You see what’s going on?
Putting my foot down
Before we wait too long
Can’t sit back and watch the bad rise up and drive the good away
I’m getting sick the way things are
So I’m putting my foot down
It is so hard just to see the light
Darkness surrounds me
Putting my foot down
You see what’s going on?
Putting my foot down
Before we wait too long
I’ve seen enough to know
Enough to know that some of you must go
I’m putting my foot down
I’m getting sick so some of you must go

11. Soul Sucker

Sucked back into a place
Where all I ever see is the actions of the possessed
Their hands are tied but they’re still digging their graves
Arrested by their own debt
I see their lives on the line
The more they fight the more they’re falling behind
I see them falling in front of my eyes
Each chance I’m given I try to escape
A part of me that I’ll never embrace
These greedy hands have been choking my dreams
So now it’s up to me
I’m face to face with what’s been killing the one’s around me
The blindest eyes could even notice the pain that I see
Their different lives planned their demise
But now this world that I’m living in is self destructing
Fools in my way and I can hear what they say
So now it’s clear
They’ll never find their way

12. Red Handed

Growing tired of these faces
Always twist around whatever they say
Now that I know truth
It will bury you
Mistook my kindness for weakness
But I’ll be striking first so that it sinks in
This time you struck a nerve
I caught you red handed
So now you'll pay for it
I caught you red handed
You broke the golden rule
I caught you red handed
This time you struck a nerve with me
I caught you red handed
And now you’ll pay for it
Gone are the days where I could, where I could see a trusting face
Now all my eyes can see are ways to dodge the fake
But time will tell how you choose to react
When this time it’s my knife that’s stuck in your back
I caught you red handed
So now you’ll pay for it
I caught you red handed
You broke the golden rule
I caught you red handed
This time you struck a nerve with me
I caught you red handed
And now you'll pay for it
And now you'll pay for it
I caught you red handed
And now you'll pay for it
How will you choose to react
When this time it’s my knife that’s stuck in your back
I know the truth
You broke the golden rule
And I caught you, I caught you red handed
