DESERTERS LYRICS

1. Broken Knuckle's And No One's Proud

YOU FAILED YOURSELF
I spit in every mouth that offered help.
WE ALL LOST OUT
Ive broken both my hands just beating myself.
EVERYDAY
Another mountain blocks the sun from my eyes.
I CANT SEE
A reason to keep up this joke of a life.

FUCK YOU,
look me in the fucking eyes
I refuse
to be beaten by myself
So Alone,
I don't believe my own lies
I'd smash you
reflections gone, but I can only

SEE
HATE
CLEARER

than it's ever been before.
lost every battle to end the war.

broken knuckles and no one's proud
shattered glass
shattered glass and no one's proud.

2. Wolf In Shepherd's Clothing

Thank you for validating my meaningless existence,
because now I don't feel so fucking bad.
You gave me everything I ever wanted,
just to take it all.. to take it all back.

You're just a fucking bitch.

Take from me my blood,
drink from the cup,
a crimson taste of failure,
of all the lies you've told.

You swore, you swore, you swore you would always be here.
But look around, I am, oh God,
I am..
I am..
I am alone.

I am your wayward soul.
If it's all about control, just let me burn,
I'll never fucking learn.
I'll never fucking learn.

Behold the new day, the sun shines on a world of shit.
Forsaken
everything and everyone in it.

I bet he smiled when he pissed on all the hopes and dreams I never had..
I never fucking had.

Take from me my blood, drink from the cup,
a crimson taste of failure, of all the lies you've told.
You swore, you swore, you swore you would always be here.
But look around,
I am alone.

We will never learn to love a God who's presence
is defined by his absence.

We will never learn.
How fucking stupid do you think we are?
We will never learn.

3. Everyday's The Same

I'd rather travel all nine circles of hell,
without a paddle at the bottom of this well,
than drive the round-abouts of the cities we lived in
built by the optimistic hands of children turned villians

I don't push just to feel you shove
I lost faith in love
If love is who you hate the least
I know just what you mean to me

you think you know?
you think you've got it all figured out?
well i'll tell you what I know...

All I know
I know that I hate you
I know that I hate you
I know that I fucking hate you
All I know
Everyday's the same

I don't push just to feel you shove
I lost faith in love
If love is who you hate the least
I know just what you mean to me

Forget everything I said
I never meant it at all
Our love never left the bed
You whore stay down on your knees and crawl

Forget everything I said
I never meant it at all
Our love never left the bed
Live life on your knees and fucking crawl

Crawl to the life you remember
Crawl towards the dreams that we had
Crawl
CRAWL

4. Death, Taxes And The Unexpected

Oh God,
they've spilled AIDS
and cleaned it up with cancer
Spread disease
in the shadow
of the new high score.

Usher in the new plague,
with a face that we can trust.

Attracted,
to the scent
of someone doing worse than us

Distracted,
we keep
spinning
the wheel

Driven into our holding cell
6x6, fluorescent lights and no sign
of your
self-
worth

Because if we fail,
these unforgiving streets won't feed the homeless
(we're hopeless)

So riot,
a prison cell is your meal ticket
Take it
The best you'll ever get
is a life of constant disappointment
So fight it

Success is a bold faced fucking lie,
the only guarantee is that I'll die
We see the hook
but still we bite it

So sign your life away
or lock it up
Either way,
a constant struggle awaits you

Because God knows:
We don't drive the roads we paved with gold,
we were only hired
to polish them

And my American dream was just a
nightmare

In god we trust but he is just a
stranger

So what's one more straw on an already
broken back

When death taxes and the unexpected are
all I have.

5. A Baptism / A Drowning

SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

I've been chasing something everyday
and running from what I hate
I'm going in circles
I know that I have been here before

Learn from it or repeat
destiny brings me to my knees
But I'll write my own history
even if it's just for:

The sake of saving face
with my own conscience
But I know better,
some sins just can't be justified
Well at least I tried

Reborn,
I'll never be adored
who could ever love a monster
who's convinced that he's a saint

The hunter and the hunted
share so many traits
Caught at the water's edge
I'm looking back
looking back
looking back at my own face

and I'd drown myself
to save myself
from me

Drowning myself just to save myself

DROWN MYSELF TO SAVE MYSELF

I've been chasing something everyday
and running from what i hate
I'm going in circles
I know that I have been here before

Learn from it or repeat
destiny brings me to my knees
But I'll write my own history
even if it's just for:

The sake of saving face
with my own monsters
But I know better
some sins just can't be justified
well at least I tried

Reborn,
my inner war
Who could ever love a monster
who's convinced that he's a saint

DROWN
(DROWN)

6. The Fool

Forget about me
Just do your best
to forget about
me.

OPEN YOUR EYES
I see you,
but you can't see,
my hands around your throat from the back seat.
YOUR HEART BEATS
to the rhythm of the engine sputtering
it's running on empty.

And you've driven to far
to make it home now
isn't it so bizarre
that the person who made you can so easily break you
and no one can fucking save you.

You're broken
and you're hoping

but no one
can save you.
"I'm here 'cause I need you back.."
HA HA You fucking wish.
You fell for
all my bullshit
"Oh please just one more chance.."
HA HA You stupid bitch.

HA HA

You can't break the cycle that binds you,
so take my hands I'm right here behind you
NOW.

Take my hands,
SQUEEZE
with me.

Take my hands
and bleed
with me.

Forget about me
Just do your best,
to forget about
me.

And every time I laughed
I laughed at you
You gave me your heart
Yeah, you fucking fool.

Everything I ever said,
it meant nothing
Took everything you had to give
and gave nothing.

You took a chance on me
You took a chance on you
and you
FAILED YOURSELF
