EXTORTIONIST LYRICS

1. Bound by Poison

Bound by poison.
Stacking bodies, I watched them fall one by one.
Connections bound by the poison.
None of my friends really give a fuck.
Spend your years breaking your back trying to make the connection last.
Only to realize the ones you love will leave.
Save your words. Rid me of the shit that falls from your teeth.
Keep drowning yourself in your dirty pool of dishonesty.
I've played the game and you will never, ever fucking fool me.
Stacking bodies, I watched them fall one by one.
Connections bound by the poison.
None of my friends really give a fuck.
Spend your years breaking your back trying to make the connection last.
I played a part is my own misfortune.
Buried myself in my own destruction.
Burnt every bridge that lead me out of the darkness.
At the end of the day all you have is yourself.
All you have is your fucking self. No cries for help.
Motherfucker what?
No cries for help.
Stacking bodies, I watched them fall one by one.
Connections bound by the poison.
None of my friends really give a fuck.
Spend your years breaking your back trying to make the connection last.
They wear masks and hide knives behind their backs.
They fake love and fake trust and it's all bound by poison.
Bound by poison.

2. Circle of Serpents

Circle of serpents, yeah.
Slither your way through life with manipulation and lies.
Constricting me of spending my time on the brighter side.
Drained me of my light and I watched you smile.
Feeding of my pain, make it go away.
Trapped inside your game.
Free me from this fucking torment that you put me through.
I can't wait 'til I can rid myself of you.
It wasn't enough that my soul was left tattered and bruised.
You let your circle of serpents tear me in two.
Cut out my tongue so I can't fucking speak.
You find your way back to me through every person that I meet.
So stay the fuck away. Yeah
Is this what gets you off?
Do you find peace with yourself while you put me through hell?
It's people like you that are miserable inside.
One day you will be exposed of all your lies.
Cut out my tongue so I can't fucking speak.
You find your way back to me through every person that I meet.
For who I thought was a stranger, just a pawn of your deceit.
I can't wait 'til your grasp on me finally sets me free.
Just let me fucking be, bitch.
I will charm the snakes no fucking longer.
No.

3. Fill the Void

Hear them singing softly.
My demons dance in sunless light.
Come and take my body.
Submit your worries to the night.
Vices holding tightly.
Won't you stay for a while?
Troubled soul tread lightly.
Submit your worries to the night.
Temptation burns when presented with debauchery.
I find myself head first into all these awful things.
Anything not to feel alone.
Anything not to feel so fucking empty.
Another night crawling home and waking up to another sight I don't want to
see.
When I'm inside there's only one face I see.
I can't get you off my mind, settle for bad company.
And you might be what I want, but you're not what I need.
Yeah it's been so long since I have felt something.
We lay our hearts to waste when our tongues are tied.
Another dance in the sheets, another year goes by.
The emptiness it will never subside.
Anything to fill the void for a night.
I find no comfort in silence.
This weary heart will roam.
I got no one to confide in.
I'll sink to the bottom and sleep alone.
Temptation burns when presented with debauchery.
I find myself head first into all these awful things.
Anything not to feel alone.
Anything not to feel so fucking empty.
Another night crawling home and waking up to another sight I don't want to see.
We lay our hearts to waste when our tongues are tied.
Another dance in the sheets, another year goes by.
The emptiness it will never subside.
Anything to fill the void for a night.
Drink the bottle down while we gather around in this time of sin.
I know these games that you play.
See through the lies you portray.
But I still let you win.
As long as I don't stay alone for the night.
Distract me from this darkness that has been clouding my mind.
And I don't care if you're not here when the sun starts to rise.
Anything to fill the void for a night.
Anything to fill the void.
Anything to fill this fucking void.

4. Forget Me

Your hopes were high, but I'm down below.
You thought I was your light you couldn't see through the smoke.
Forget me.
Don't play with fire or you will get burned.
The pain runs deep but you still never learn.
For every scar on your conscience, another scar undeserved.
Separate yourself from me. I don't want you to hurt.
You lost yourself in the wake of my ways.
In my self destructive emotional state.
I hope one day you forget my face.
And live your life with nothing but the brightest of days.
Don't wait for me to change, just know I'm trying.
Our connection was profound but now it's fucking dying.
I know my flaws have left you worn out and bitter.
What we had was beautiful. Now it's exhausted and weathered because of me.
Don't wait up for me I will weigh you down.
Don't think of me now that I'm not around.
Just ease your pain and go away.
You're better off without me in your way.
Don't play with fire or you will get burned.
The pain runs deep but you still never learn.
For every scar on your conscience, another scar undeserved.
Separate yourself from me. I don't want you to hurt.
I wish for nothing but to be a ghost of someone that you used to know.
And you will move on, so forget me.
Forget me.

5. No Soul (Part II)

No soul must enter. Shut every helping hand in the door.
Lose myself in thought. I don't want to be this way anymore.
Every hand holds a knife and their pointed at me.
My lack of trust is what caused them to fucking leave.
Paranoid your intentions are unclean.
Tell me what it is that you want from me.
Take what you want, I don't care, I don't care anymore.
Tear me apart if it's what you desire.
Hang me up high so you can watch me bleed.
Suspend me by my impurities.
Take what you want, I don't care, I don't care anymore.
Tear me apart if it's what you desire.
So you can cut me open to take what you need.
And watch my mistakes bleed out for the world to see.
They say it's all just in my head but I can't help to shake the thought.
A desire for connection spoiled by the fucking love that's been lost.
I stare at my reflection, the repulsive display projected on the wall.
I'll stay alone forever.
I'll stay alone in the fucking dark.

6. Dirty Hands

Running from ourselves.
We can't change what we've done.
Tried to get away.
This pain has gone too long.
Save my troubled soul.
I'm not the man you used to know.
Save my soul.
Forget the past and hit the road.
When you leave I hear your sigh of relief.
Scratch my face of every picture and memory you see.
Cut my clothes and burn the notes.
Leave nothing left of me.
And let the ashes blow away in the breeze.
We're free.
Save my troubled soul.
I'm not the man you used to know.
Save my soul.
Forget the past and hit the road
Cut your hands on every piece that you find of me.
Take you too the water, wash your hands of me.
Shine ourselves under new light and find we don't like the sight.
I know it's hard but it's time that we say goodbye.
Spend years sifting through the dirt searching for my teeth.
I've lost all hope and I've been questioning.
Will I ever find my smile again?
I say we put this to rest. So long old friend.
I've come to terms with the fact the ones you love will fucking leave.
The ones you love will fucking leave.
It's time to wash those dirty hands.
