BARRIER LYRICS

1. Backbone

Demons have always made a home in my head
Lately they’ve found a place in friends instead
Demons have always found a place in my head
Lately they’ve found a place in friends instead

Dark days
Time to dig graves
Put them to rest before they do the same

Dark days, dark days
Put them to rest before they do the same
Last call, sick of it all
With this backbone, you won’t find me so small

2. The Despot

Hope is a lost cause
My faith isn’t real
I’ve lost sight in anything
I once held close to fear.  
My minds a mess
And this pain in my chest is killing me

I hate that I can’t feel security in anything
And when it comes to me,
It’s ripped out again

I live for you
Not for me or for my passions
I’ve tried to make a change
But the world is taking all my chances

It’s taking my courage
It’s taking my pride
My solid ground is now dirt
That’s been swept to the side

This isn’t me
My path was straight
But you came in my life
And had it your way
You said "Fuck your passion
Fuck your skill
You live like me now
Forget you ever had free will"

You'll never get what you’ve caused
The shit that fills my mind
You took my world
You took my fucking world

So sick of meeting your every demands
My body knows what it should do, what it should do
But I'm so use to this everyday struggle
This everyday struggle
This every day struggle to please you
This isn’t me

3. Black Sheep

Stop asking the questions
If all I get back is rejection
If I hear that bullshit coming out of your mouth
I’ll fucking rip your teeth out, rip your teeth out

Mental, psychotic
I think I’ve finally lost it
You stab each others’ backs in private
You deny it

The only way that I can still feel
Is to see the hate in my eyes is real
Your world’s a living hell
This broken home is hectic
You close your eyes
Picture the perfect man
Hide in that lie
Hide in that lie

You said this house means give and take
But I feel like I’ve sold my soul for your sake

You watch my every move
Unaccepting of what I do
A leash chained to my throat
No slack so you can watch me choke

I’m not meant to be yours
A fucking black sheep
knee deep in the pressure
of living in your dreams
How could I ever follow in your footsteps?
I’m fucking drowning in the puddles that they left

The worst part is
My heart’s on my sleeve
And yours
I’ve yet to see
You want respect?
Then you’ll give it back
I refuse to take these hits
Family doesn’t work like that

You think it’s okay
To treat your flesh and blood this way
You think it’s okay
To treat your flesh and blood this way

4. 30 Days

I’m worn out and bitter
And I won’t consider
Keeping my head high
Cause every decent thought has gone
And left me out to dry
I’m not in the best state of mind
But believe me when I say
I’ll never write a bullshit line

Abusers and users
The sinners, the saints
I am a product of you
For better or worse,
I can’t really say
I just know this isn’t what I was yesterday

30 days, it’s an easy sway
That’s all it really took for me to feel this way
Like everything was put on the line
and in a few weeks time it was ripped out of my hands

I’m worn out and bitter
And I won’t consider
Keeping my head high
Cause every decent thought has gone
And left me out to dry
I’m not in the best state of mind
But believe me when I say
I’ll never write a bullshit line

You’re not a fucking familiar face
You don’t belong here
You put my name in vain
Let me make it clear
I don’t want you here
You’re the outcast

Look at this man
With the blood on his hands
You beg forgiveness but how long will that last?
How long will that last?

Caught red-handed
A barron, a bandit
Why am I the only one that sees it?
Why am I the only one that sees it?
Everything dies in the end

And you can’t learn that your back
Should never face your friends

Everything dies in the end

5. Low Roads

I wish this heavy conscience
Would take a 15 minute break
So I could break the bones of those
that made the worst mistakes

I’m sick of this heart
That’s letting you in
You heartless people with heartless friends
You’ve made your place in mine.
I didn’t put you there.
You’re not worth my time

I want to be on the other end
Making you break
Till I can see the awful person you turned out to be

Bleed through the seems
I found no glory
You bled through your seems
I found no fucking glory

Bleed through the seems
I found no glory

Fake, fake

I want to see you crawl back
I want to see you beg for me
Utter three simple words
Tell me you’re sorry

We’re troubled youth
And I’m learning to like it
You’re troubled youth
So don’t you dare fucking fight it

Fuck my worth
I’m not worth a dime
Fuck what the world thinks
They’re not worth my time

My thoughts and my actions
Never amounted to shit
I’m watching myself burn
And I’m taking you with it

I want the hate in my heart to burn the fear in my veins
So I can pass on the pains of hell
To those who’ve only seen saints
