BEARTOOTH LYRICS

1. Greatness Or Death

I promise you there's times I'm not so sad
Some days the good will even out the bad
I know I'm married to my problems, it's always in my head
And I'm destined for greatness or death
Destined for greatness or death

Thought I was standing tall
Repressed with no resolve
Happiness and ignorance aren't so different after all

Thought I was being strong
This time you're in the wrong
I've lived a lie too long
I've lived a lie too long
Now push has come to shove
I signed the deed in blood
I need another drug
I need another drug

I promise you there's times I'm not so sad
Some days the good will even out the bad
I know I'm married to my problems, it's always in my head
And I'm destined for greatness or death
Destined for greatness or death

Thought I could make demands
Now I can barely stand
Comfort quickly fading with the sickness setting in

Now push has come to shove
I signed the deed in blood
I need another drug
I need another drug

I promise you there's times I'm not so sad
Some days the good will even out the bad
I know I'm married to my problems, it's always in my head
And I'm destined for greatness or death
Destined for greatness or death

I'm beginning to think I can't outrun these demons
But you know what they say, sickness is in season
Yeah!
Sickness is in season

I promise you there's times I'm not so sad
Some days the good will even out the bad
I know I'm married to my problems, it's always in my head
And I'm destined for greatness or death
Destined for greatness or death

Sickness is in season
Yeah!
Sickness is in season

2. Disease

If I fall again will it be the end
I know it's wrong you think I'm strong but I just pretend
Is it taking over
Will it bury me
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Stuck at the surface
Not making progress
Falling apart
Well I'm trying my hardest
Looking for answers
Finding a woe
Is their noose getting tighter
I'm losing control

Will the end make me whole again

It's like holding on
When my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over
Will it bury me
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease

I'm getting older
Still lost as ever
Thinking a smile
While I bury the pressure
Why does this happen
I should be fine
But I can't shake the feeling
I'm living a lie

Will the end make me whole again

It's like holding on
When my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over
Will it bury me
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease

If I fall again will it be the end
I know it's wrong you think I'm strong but I just pretend
Is it taking over
Will it bury me
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's like holding on
When my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over
Will it bury me
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease
Become the cure for my disease

3. Fire

Save your breath it's all turning into static
No chance you're winning this fight
Kill the lights and let's do a little dancing
Hope you came here ready to die

Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream ready, aim, fire
Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire

Oh!
Yeah!

I'm running out of answers, I've lost my head
I've pushed all of your buttons and you want me dead
Tossing and turning and blowing smoke
Hope you're ready for revenge 'cause I've had enough

Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream ready, aim, fire
Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire

Save your breath it's all turning into static
There's no chance you're winning this fight
Kill the lights and let's do a little dancing
Hope you came here ready to die

You're running out of time and your voice is blown
You've lost all of the power now you've lost your home
I make the decisions, I chose my path
I'm sending you to hell and I won't look back

Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream ready, aim, fire
Sink a little lower
Get a little higher
Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire

Save your breath it's all turning into static
There's no chance you're winning this fight
Kill the lights and let's do a little dancing
I hope you came here ready to die

Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

Save your breath it's all turning into static
No chance you're winning this fight
Kill the lights and let's do a little dancing
I hope you came here ready to die

Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire
Finger on the trigger, scream, ready, aim, fire

4. You Never Know

I can't breathe in
With hands on my neck
I scream back
The grip that holds on
The reason
I'm trapped in my head
Defeated

I never felt this
The voice in my face screams violent
The grip that holds on
The reason
I'm trapped in my head
Defeated

I never felt so close
To giving up my hope
Should I hide it
Should I fight it
Should I roll over in time
You never know
You never know until you know know know
(You never know until you know know know)
You never know until you know

I can't breathe in
With hands on my neck
I scream back
The grip that holds on
The reason
I'm trapped in my head
Defeated

I never felt so close
To giving up my hope
Should I hide it
Should I fight it
Should I roll over in time
You never know
You never know until you know know know

I never felt this
The voice in my face screams violent
The grip that holds on
The reason
I'm trapped in my head
Defeated
You never know until you know

I never felt so close
To giving up my hope
Should I hide it
Should I fight it
Should I roll over in time
You never know
You never know until you know know know
(You never know until you know know know)
You never know until you know

5. Bad Listener

You say my vision's not a vision at all
There's no degree in rock and roll
Say it's a waste of time, say I'll never get a real shot
I'll be banging my head 'til my brain rots
I'll be banging my head 'til my brain rots
Oh!

I feel the energy from my head to my feet
Is it anger or passion empowering me
I know talk's not cheap I'm not grinding my teeth
Time to slap you in the face with reality

No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener

No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener
No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener

We've been deceived by the powers that be
We're sold future perfection but it will not come cheap
Maybe I love it, I'd rather believe
I'm just breaking the surface and you will never stop me

No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener

No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener
No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener

You say my visions not a vision at all
There's no degree in rock and roll
Say it's a waste of time, say I'll never get a real shot
I'll be banging my head 'til my brain rots

No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener
No structure
No prisoners
I'm not deaf
I'm just a real bad listener

6. Afterall

I must be doing this all wrong
Should be happy but I'm searching for the voice I lost
Guess I'm just human after all
Guess I'm just human after all

I woke up with the same dark feeling
Head on the ground and my thoughts on the ceiling
Another dream where the light is burning out
I don't know what to chase, my hope is erased
I look at myself and I don't know my own face
I just got fixed and I'm already breaking down

How do I feel when my wounds aren't healing
Why do I stop when I start believing

I must be doing this all wrong
Should be happy but I'm searching for the reasons why
Puts my head in overdrive
I thought I had this figured out
I should scream but I'm still searching for the voice I lost
I guess I'm just human after all
I guess I'm just human after all

You're no good so get up and change it
The way you feel is a little outdated
You'll never change if you'd rather hear the lie
I don't know what to say, I'm never OK
I try to dig deep but there's nothing but pain
I'm singing my songs but the words just don't relate
(I'm singing my songs but the words just don't relate)

It's time to live when my wounds aren't healing
Why do I stop when I start believing

I must be doing this all wrong
Should be happy but I'm searching for the reasons why
Puts my head in overdrive
I thought I had this figured out
I should scream but I'm still searching for the voice I lost
I guess I'm just human after all
All

There's not an ounce of hope inside of me
I wanna die before I fade away

I must be doing this all wrong
Should be happy but I'm searching for the reasons why
Puts my head in overdrive
I thought I had this figured out
I should scream but I'm still searching for the voice I lost
I guess I'm just human after all
I guess I'm just human after all
I guess I'm just human after all

7. Manipulation

This is manipulation

Yeah!
Yeah!

I hesitated, got lost again, you saw me as wounded prey
I was a wreck, I was a bloody mess and you couldn't look away

You broke me down
So you could take me out

This is isolation
Kept in the dark and waiting
You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created
Now I can't escape it
All of the light is fading
This isn't trust, this is manipulation

I didn't say what you wanna hear and your lips began to curl
I'm pushing back and now you start acting like you gave me the world

You broke me down
So you could take me out

This is isolation
Kept in the dark and waiting
You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created
Now I can't escape it
All of the light is fading
This isn't trust, this is manipulation

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need you
This isn't trust, this is manipulation
I don't believe, don't believe, don't believe you
This isn't trust, this is manipulation
You've got hell to pay, you'll get what's coming to you

Oh!

This is isolation
Kept in the dark and waiting
You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created
Now I can't escape it
All of the light is fading
This isn't trust, this is manipulation

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need you
This isn't trust, this is manipulation
I don't believe, don't believe, don't believe you
This isn't trust, this is manipulation

This is manipulation
This is manipulation

8. Enemy

Oh!

I've had enough of your trust
You just hold me on the cusp
Locked out, can't make a sound
You're kicking me when I'm down

I've tried to lie
To set ignorance aside
But you're scared
You won't fight
You're kicking me when I'm down

I won't let you out so easily
There's fire in my eyes
You better run and hide

Will you fight
Will you believe in the answer
Will you die
Or will you reset the standard

This is therapy
This is sanity
There's no defeat
Will you stand with me or rot with the enemy

Now you feel what I feel
These fists are made of steel
I feel weak
But I'm proud you're not kicking me when I'm down

I may burn, I may bleed
But I'm standing on my feet
I'm not fragile like you think
You're not kicking me when I'm down

I won't let you out so easily
There's fire in my eyes
You better run and hide

Will you fight
Will you believe in the answer
Will you die
Or will you reset the standard

This is therapy
This is sanity
There's no defeat
Will you stand with me or rot with the enemy

You're possessed
You're disguised
I know what you think
I will never be defeated by the enemy

Will you fight
Will you believe in the answer
Will you die
Or will you reset the standard

This is therapy
This is sanity
There's no defeat
Will you stand with me or rot with the enemy

9. Believe

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it

I'm stuck in December
In the middle of summer
Tried finding the answers
In the end we're all just lost and alone
We don't know where to go
So we sing
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've got a weakness now
Gotta wait the season out
My vendetta's with the evening
God knows I am never sleeping
I've gotta weakness now
Saying it will all work out
I'd give anything, anything, anything
To make me believe it
Make me believe it

I'm watching the snow fall
Every day when I wake up
No matter where I go
In the end we're all just lost and alone
We don't know where to go
We're all just lost and alone
We don't know where to go

I've got a weakness now
Gotta wait the season out
My vendetta's with the evening
God knows I am never sleeping
I've gotta weakness now
Saying it will all work out
I'd give anything, anything, anything
To make me believe it

I've got a weakness now
Gotta wait the season out
My vendetta's with the evening
God knows I am never sleeping

I've got a weakness now
Gotta wait the season out
My vendetta's with the evening
God knows I am never sleeping
I've gotta weakness now
Saying it will all work out
I'd give anything, anything, anything
To make me believe it

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make me believe it

10. Infection

Why do I second guess everything I've ever tried
Nothing real ever happens when I take your advice

I don't wanna show you honesty
It's such a waste
You don't wanna know that side of me
So go away

Why did I fall in line
It left me blind
I'm feeling useless
I've lost my mind

It's taking over my body so contagious
It's seeping into my blood and I can taste it
Coursing through my veins I'm not sane
I lost my direction I've caught the infection again
Caught it again

Why did I let you in let you win give you a chance
Fighting fire with fire 'til it ignites our skin

I don't wanna show you honesty
I ever done
You don't wanna know that side of me
Replay it whole

Why did I fall in line
It left me blind
I'm feeling useless
I've lost my mind

It's taking over my body so contagious
It's seeping into my blood and I can taste it
Coursing through my veins I'm not sane
I lost my direction I've caught the infection again

I can't take another step
I'm lifeless out of breath
I've hidden underground
But it found me in the depths
I can't take another step
I'm lifeless out of breath
I've hidden underground
But it found me in the depths

Yeah!

It's taking over my body so contagious
It's seeping into my blood and I can taste it

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's taking over my body so contagious
It's seeping into my blood and I can taste it
Coursing through my veins I'm not sane
I lost my direction I've caught the infection again

11. Used And Abused

All hail to the old king
To a dead scene
To the same old trash, never washed clean
Undying
Not changing any time soon

Turn another page let the bottom feed
Poisoning the ground when you plant the seed

I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
The pressure's building, gotta find my way through
I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
It's paralyzing being used and abused

Used and abused
Used and abused
Used and abused

I'm done trying to reset
I'm a reject
Cut off at the knees from a misstep
Can't come back
Don't even care if I die

Chain my ankles up, throw me out to sea
Benefit the world, hide the apathy

I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
The pressure's building, gotta find my way through
I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
It's paralyzing being used and abused

I don't have a home
I don't fit your mold
You can't push me out
Take me to the battleground

I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
The pressure's building, gotta find my way through
I'm not part of your institution
Is your trust some grand illusion
It's paralyzing being used and abused

Used and abused, used and abused
The preacher's building, gotta find my way through
Used and abused, used and abused
It's paralyzing being used and abused

12. Clever

I guess being clever's just my safety net

I hide behind my cadence
I hide behind the wall
I built so tall the weakness never spills
I hide all of my burdens
I twist my words so well
I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell

If I'm clever you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net
I guess being clever's just my safety net

I tell you I feel better
I tell you I can sleep
I hope that it will bring a sense of peace
But all the night's are getting darker
The day becomes so bleak
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed

If I'm clever you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net

I'm out of ways to answer
I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick there is no cure
I'm out of ways to answer
I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick there is no cure

If I'm clever you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net
I guess being clever's just my safety net
