EXPIRE LYRICS

1. Just Fine

Everything is going fine
Going off without a hitch
But soon enough you'll find
That life's a fucking bitch
Because the facts are cold and hard
The needle point is sharp
A picture is worth a thousand words
And a pretty face is worth a thousand broken hearts
How much further can shit go south
Before I want to put a gun in my mouth?
Before I take these thoughts and I act them out
and put it all to an end?
Can I leave that blood on the hands of my friends?
Can I leave that scar on the name of my kin?
Where? How? And when?
Everything to lose
And nothing all the same
Do I leave a legacy?
Or do they forget my name?
Way too much to chew
For what is now just a thought
Hold tight and brace myself for the day that it is not
So when I leave this earth
Try not to be too hurt

2. Reputation

Approach me with hesitation
Heard about my reputation
Lord knows I've tried to change
But fear it's much too late
There are things I could try to say
To try and sway you either way
But I just ran out of time
and the window's closed to change your mind
Can't help what i say
Can't help what I do
So much about me I wish you never knew
You got it all figured out
You keep me at arm's length
The blood's already on my hands
No changing what you think

3. Spit Out

What was I to say?
You let me down and you walked away
What was I to do?
I never seen that side of you
Ignorance is bliss
Somehow it makes me wonder
how i could give two shits for a two-faced motherfucker
Chewed me up and spit me out
and left me to clean up the mess
Caught me off guard
and it's so hard
to try and let go of this
Your true colors are shining through
I'm no use to you
Chewed me up and spit me out
How could I still care about
someone who just threw me away
like I was nothing?
All the times you shook my hand
I couldn't conceive it
Turn your back on me, man?
I couldn't believe it

4. Dig Deep

Woe is me
I dig deep
I'll never let myself be happy
It's all just doomed from the start
I truly want stability
But I tear everything apart
Don't have what I want
Don't want what I got
Never wanted much
Never had a lot
And I pray for the day
When I can be content in my own skin
No chances taken
No chances given
Help me to understand
Just why I am the way I am
I live in fear
Afraid to fail
Locked up inside my own jail
I built these walls, I'm trapped inside
How much longer can I hide?
Help me to make it right
Can't live in fear my whole life

5. Anxiety

Brain melt
Note to self
Do you remember just how it felt?
Bit your tongue and you just dealt
Until it all boils over
That was your first mistake
Need I remind you
what got us here in the first place?
Anxiety
Won't let me go
So am I crazy?
Well, I don't know
I can't think straight
Anxiety gets the best of me
I take it all on the chin
Trying to figure out where the fuck it all went
Looking up from my back again

6. Abyss

How can I love you
If I can't love myself?
I sweep it under the rug
Just like everything else
You take the good with the bad
Through nights like this
And you sink with me into the abyss
I regress and I slip
and I fall off that cliff
Free falling head first
Pray I don't feel a thing when I hit the dirt
How can I love you
if I can't love myself?
I needed something to hold
every time that I fell
You took pity on me
and I couldn't resist
I regress and I slip
and I fall off that cliff
Free falling head first
Pray I don't feel a thing when I hit the dirt
I never wanted this
I'm really sorry Miss
I pulled you down with me
into the abyss
Sink with me

7. Bark

I'll never let you tie me down
to be a dog just barking on a chain
Jerk me back to reality
whenever I dare to dream
So let me curl my lips
Let me howl at the moon
Been looking down on me long enough
but my day's coming soon
No thanks to you
You can follow me through open doors
or you can wish me the best
I refuse to follow you under
You've been a weight on my chest
and when there's nothing left to say
I ask you kindly relocate
You're in my fucking way

8. Sleep Lost

My mind does the time for the crimes against myself
and it comes at the cost of sleep lost
Another day, another dollar
Another night is even harder to swallow
I contemplate my end
I count up all my friends
Weigh out the pros and cons
Who's going to miss me when I'm gone?
Who?
Nothing keeps me sane
like the long walks through the rain
Let the cold come over me
Let it wash away my shame
All the ones that have occupied my head
and all the ones that have occupied my bed
Get out

9. Pills And A Promise

Six long years
I've been nursing the pain
Six long years
I've been screaming your name
Summer heat
Sweating in my sleep
Just lay me down for an eternity
It was perfect
I didn't deserve it
I was so helpless as you slipped right from my fucking hands
And I have never been so confused
Courtesy of all your miscues
Erase away the mistakes we made
and blame them on our youth
I needed more than pills and a promise
I needed more than a bullshit excuse
You left me back holding the bag
and all I ever wanted was the truth
Nothing is working
This shit can't save me
I've been fucking going crazy
All the things I should've said
plays over and over in my head

10. YDN

Mama tried
I sold my soul to the devil
I never fit the mold
A young revel
Future is bleak
for this black sheep
Left out for the wolves to eat
I'm a product of my mistakes
Try to run from my past
but i could never escape
I turn and I face the music
and leave the rest up to fate
There are things I left behind
and lived to fight another day
I cut some ties
I lost some friends
Made enemies along the way
I walked a line
I changed my mind
I didn't like how the game was played
So crucify me if you will
for all the choices I have made.

11. Focus

You can fake it so easily put on a show for everybody to see just to hold the attention of those impressed with empty conversation but you opinion could never budge me you can try, you’ll never see it through my eyes you talk until you’re blue in the face put everything you had into a world that despised you focus on my mind, focus on my strength nothing to offer or relate to so quick to turn away so quick to hate you I built it up, and I fucking said I burned that bridge, I don’t regret it

12. Pendulum Swings

Pressure is on
Te clock's ticking
Sweating bullets
The plot thickens
Nothing but a blank stare on my face
As another hour slips away
And the fuse slowly burns
I can't come to terms
That world won't stop for me
I try to keep up
I keep my feet on the ground
But can't make the world slow down
Too much to do
Not enough time
All the things that I can't
Just weigh on my mind
I can't control what's out of my hands
When I'm up against the grains of sand
Pendulum swings
Pendulum takes
Reaper come to whisk me away
Head first towards a brick wall
and I can't pump the brakes
