LINE OF SCRIMMAGE LYRICS

1. Penance

lay me to rest
penance, I'll pay my own
kneel to your knees for heaven but you live in hell now
I reached up to the sky and came back empty handed
I reached up and came back empty handed
time and time again I try and find ways to repent
another problem with no solution
another day another letdown
nail yourself to the book of lies
no one can absolve me or make me feel alive

no one no more
no more will I be misled
my hands are tied I pray no more
no more will I blame you
time and time again I wonder if you exist

2. Nothing Out Of Reach

as you grew older
then you get colder
I know the world ain't lying
believe what you want about me
I perceive everyone is against me

one day at a time, I'll make everything I ever wanted mine
nothing out of reach, I'll break my back to live out these dreams
just set in stone something that I have never known

through hunger and determination
I have earned whats rightfully mine

you couldn't see the world through my eyes
couldn't walk the path of an honest man
you can bet your life that I have lived this strife
I bet you couldn't look me in the eye

one day at a time, I'll make everything I ever wanted mine
nothing out of reach nothing comes in between

3. Spite My Face

serenity at a stand will now
we lost sight of our own way
so now a day feels like a decade
cut off my nose to spite my face

there's no compromise only spite on the inside
unjust never to be trusted
no second chances handed out

out of sight out of mind out of touch with myself inside
nothing that's inside me will revive me
I dug my own grave and I know I'll dig my way out
envy will bury the best of men

a contradiction
content with dying alone
I cast no shadow I have no home

no grudge forgotten at all
another day another lesson
everything fails to remain

4. Sheep's Skin

your weakness is treason no truth exists
and I take back every word I ever spoke
everything you built is on its last leg
all along I thought I did the right thing
only to find out there's no such thing
and I learned not to dig too deep
and your guilt eats you alive in your sleep

you may not like what you find, no truth exists not this time
you can hide you can try you can try
you can try but you wont find
you wont find the truth

left out in the dark for far too long
left back in the dust you're dead and gone
thought I had it all in the palm of my hand
little did I know I never had a chance

everything you built is dead and fucking gone
I have held out hope for far too long
nothing I hear matters to me anymore

your weakness is treason I deny the untold truth
your weakness is treason I was lied to since my birth

5. Stand Tall

hard luck but that's just how it goes
stand tall
I leave nothing up to chance, no comprehension no advance
no way no how will I not stand tall
you must stand tall above it all

no fault
I am the living earthquake
I've destroyed everything I ever had nothing is the same as before
because I don't feel anything anymore
unseen unheard I will never learn

hands worn out to the bone
I have fought this tooth and nail
without the struggle without the fight
no way no how would I survive

knee deep drowning in my own defeat
as I step on the throats of the weak

forget about the facts cause the ground you walk is cracked
every word everyone everywhere I turn I'm steering off track
nothing will be saved in this life living just to try
hard luck is all I have

6. The Fury

and I feel the fury
burning deep in my chest
there's no escape there's no restoration
there's no room for doubt there's no turning back

from now on every breath is a test
from now on there's stone in my chest
from now on every breath is a test
from now on forget
if you don't believe in fate you must believe in revenge
there's no escape there's no restoration

remember my face
I'll be buried with my back turned
sympathy is a lesson I must unlearn
I wash my hands clean off this
you cant deny
I was bled dry in the blink of an eye

there's no turning back
desperate measures forced to abide
got the worst of the world at my side

you wont make it out alive

7. This Time Around

when it falls down I wont be here to break anyone's fall
cause I'll be one step ahead this time around
with intention to move forward I'll do what I have to do
I hope you didn't put the crown on the line
cause this time around the crown is mine

you fucking cowards thought wrong
what you gonna do now when I'm right in your face?
I'll tell you now you wont do a fucking thing
I hope you didn't put the crown on the line
cause this time around the crown is mine

this is for everyone who had to think twice
its alright cause there's no love all spite

you brought your best and it wasn't enough
you fucking cowards thought wrong this time around

no love all spite motherfucker

even when given the chance I wouldn't build back the bridges I've burned
no love all spite motherfucker I'm here for the fucking crown
no love all spite so fuck you

8. Denounced

denounced dead on impact
brace yourself for the hard way out
brace yourself
at the feet of submission
look your demons in the eye
brace yourself

stigmatised by my own demise
integrity wont always reprise
I made peace with leaving everything I love behind

just let me rest my head cause
cause I owe nothing to no one
I cast myself out
all I know all I have feared has been denounced
I payed the worst price I watched myself die from the inside

cause I owe nothing to no one I cast myself out

brace yourself for the hard way out
I disperse I denounce

denounce disperse this life is a curse
there's no reverse life's a curse. cast myself out
