CRUEL HAND LYRICS

1. Without A Pulse

you take the truth i know i speak. and make me think i lied. you take the life i lead and make me think i died. it seems we're living just too well. find a way to hurt ourselves. you find my faults and exploit them all. see sickness in my health. infect the way i see the world. infect the way i see myself. we've won the right to lose. take our chance. steal the proof. take your time steal that too. i live without a pulse to you.

2. Trust Me

lies lies manifesting in my head. don't believe a fucking word that i have ever said. i've been dealt a cruel hand. cant wait to deal it back. ace, queen, jack, king. i stripped them from he pack. i can't let myself forget. you came into this world alone. leave the same - dead and cold. open your eyes, face the facts. you're blind to think friendships intact. i'll do anything to steer you off your track. what you lack. you'll ever have. i'll tel you what you want to hear and take it all back. i have trusted one too many i'm telling you now, i'm throwing it out. never place your trust in me.

3. Fact Or Fiction

out of your mind. believe your own lies. fact or fiction, i would always listen. good for your word, fuck what you heard. just another lesson learned boundaries crossed and i got burned. i thought i knew you but i was a fool. neglect the aftermath of the path you choose.

4. Lack Thereof

you wear masks because there's nothing left. an empty shell to crumble and fall. first you play some parts and fill some roles. you'll know how it feels to crawl. you think you know just what it takes. everyday a different face. to take the world on day by day. to make you think that you're ok. losing everything you thought you knew and what you wanted. saw a future in a magazine and bought it. to take the world on day by day. to make you think that you're ok. i don't want to find the real. is it too hard to just show yourself and what you didn't steal?

5. Severe Character Flaw

i'd trade the earth for what it's worth. a corrupted bag of dirt. i'd rather live a life of hurt than fix a world that'll never work. guilt's something we'll never feel. maybe it's not real. losing sleep is for the weak. we see the signs but we don't read. ignorance is our bliss. no apologies for this mess. so now we rot. momentum is locked. the end can't be stopped. so give all you've got.

6. Crashing Down

in a falling house of cards. the of what we called ours. i never needed a clue, we had two. it was me and you. house of cards. what it drop. tried hard for another tier. what's the point in another year? we always knew the cards would drop. why put off what can't be stopped? can't say that i had enough. ash to ash and dust to dust. watching as our world collapsed. would we ever want it back? you want to know exactly just where i'm at? foundation dropped. the walls fall in. do i burn the past or rebuild again? on the floor picking up the pieces of what i never could have.

7. Nothing Between Us

you've been caught this time, uncovered your disguise. the mask you wear, i see it clear. not worth my time. your motives were so simple but you'll get yours in the end. everyday i hate myself for thinking you're my friend. can't let you manipulate anyone this time. kindness is weakness, sometimes the biggest flaw. i wish that i had noticed before i took the hardest fall. set me up to knock me down. a puppet on a string. sever ties and realize pain you'll never bring. i'll destroy what we've built, cut you out of my life. no one said this would last. so easily pushed to the past. nothing between us. memories erased. i self inflict this amnesia. can't you do the same?

8. Under The Ice

when you drop it hurts. it will leave you burned. fast and now you've crashed. and you still haven't learned. if you want to tempt the ice, you better think twice. when you fall through, your life is too. you can't stand up, you can't get up. living your life under the ice. you're slipping. momentum keeps you moving. you have no grip, you start to slip. you eventually fall.

9. Never Fall

i think i'm walking but i'm sinking. every move i make is so wrong. your helps not working, in fact it's worthless. what's taking me so long to lave everything behind me and choose my own path. our yesterdays were better but i can't look to the past. i know i have so far to go. i'm looking for answers that i'll never know. there's no way that i can ever stop. the ones who settle are the ones you've lost. you gave me the options. you gave me the tools, but you're walking blind in line amongst this world of fools. i have stumbled in trying times. i found a compass in the dirt and i left it behind. my only map went up in flames because your dead end life was the direction it gave. i'm not ashamed of the path i've taken. if you think i'm lost you must be mistaken. stumble but i never fall. some say courage you say gall. some things were just not built to fall. my backs against the wall.

10. The Countdown

things look grim. time's running thin. it was on our side but now it's gone again. i guess it slipped away. sifting through the grains. if i had the time i would make it pay. time on my hands, but my hands are tied. deal with the knots that we never denied. tomorrow hit me and it woke me up. yesterdays grasp become unlocked. rubbed my eyes because it was today. i want to sleep my life away. tomorrow so distance. future so vague. yesterday is a memory. memories fade.
