SLAVES LYRICS

1. Drowning in My Addiction

[Verse 1]
What a crying shame
I can't escape these haunted hallways
The ghost of myself
And everything I love
And pushed away

[Pre-Chorus]
Come hell or come high water
I'm miserable as sin
And this position I find myself in
It's never dead
Oh, so they say

[Chorus]
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Burdens so heavy every day it becomes more clear
Drowning in my addiction
Drowning in my addiction

[Verse 2]
I try and stand strong, but I always give in
Wish I could escape myself
This evil intent, evil intent
To kill what I love

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
This vicious cycle comes full circle
But I'm still here
And I never knew love
Cause happiness is fair
Cause happiness is fair
So they say

[Chorus]

2. As The Light Cracks The Foundation

I'm fighting from the fire again
The whole time I was spread beneath the ashes
I'd rather leave but if we had to go back
I'd take all of you

Maybe my foundation was
Poured to be cracked open.
I watched the light find its way in.
Maybe my life was meant to be tested.
Cause who you learn from, we follow.

I wanna step out of your shadow
But when I do there's no sunlight
Pressed against the wall
We can't stop breaking
These nights are never promised to us
(Who we are)

I can't wait to be born again
I belong here
I was meant to be condemned for your fears.
Sometimes you need to look down
To find faith again
I'd rather see you die than watch you choke.
I'd rather see you die than watch you grow.

I wanna step out of your shadow
But when I do there's no sunlight.
Pressed against the wall
We can't stop breaking
These nights are never promised to us
(Who we are)

3. The Hearts Of Our Broken

[feat. Garret Rapp of The Color Morale]

All this love in my bones
it's hard for me to speak
and your words mean less now when you talk to me
all I ever wanted was rushed
gave into my addictions when all I wanted was love
a few words spoken, but I'm still broken
(broken)
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
and every time and every time that I look in my mirror I give right into you
broken people
like you, like me
we are the ones who can't ever seem to carry whole
for all the way
with all our holy peace
we know we sleep but why do we stay

I search for a new light
it means our time
through ...
every time they try to box me in
I search for a new light
it means our time
through ...
when they box me in

4. Burning Our Morals Away

[Verse 1]
They say it's hot in the spotlight, too much for some
So enjoy the shade
Cause your sparks will fade
Oh me? I'm doing just fine
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
They said it was over, they said I grew colder, they said it was over

[Chorus 1]
Cause we are, we are the real ones
Will we refuse to run and hide?
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
(Cause we are)
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

[Verse 2]
Let's sing in a city of ruins
Walk on through the trail of dirt
Call it justice or call it
Call it justice or call it revenge
So love, have we suffered enough?
So now we'll kill what we love
Tore myself apart
Before, before anyone else could

[Chorus 2]
Cause we are, we are the real ones
Who will refuse to run and hide
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
Cause we are
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned
Fighting fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

[Bridge]
Tore myself apart
Before anyone else could
Tore ourselves apart
To find out who we are

[Chorus 1]

5. Who Saves The Savior

[feat. Spencer Chamberlain of Sleepwave]

Who saves the savior?
[8x]

And this is [?]
Just another lost cause, so far from Hell
So far from Hell
This wasn't forever planned
Wasted come from out of Hell
Well they look to the sky

So cold [?]

Who saves the savior?
Who saves the savior?
Who saves?

[?] around the fire
Splitting [?] the same mistakes
We never changed

So cold [?]

[?] but I'm still not the same, I'm not the same
I'm just a scheme you couldn't wash away
Couldn't wash away!

Who saves the savior?
Who saves?
Who saves the savior?
Who saves?

Where's the [?]?

We'll look to the sky (Look to the sky)
Our hearts should seal the ground
We'll be look to the sky (Look to the sky)
We'll be look to the sky (Look to the sky)
Our hearts should seal the ground

6. Share The Sunshine Young Blood, Pt. 2

[feat. Kyle Lucas]

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
Okay well I just keep expecting
It's all a phase
She said she needs some space okay well I just need a change
Somewhere I could go lick my wounds
Sew my heart right back together
Sew my heart right stitch in two
Double cross me, you cross my mind
Harpin(?) on this loss of mine
I say I'm fine but I often lie
I don't wanna kill time but the clock won't die
Uh, I'm just at a loss for words
Looking back I fell in love for who I thought you were

You shoulda killed her from the start
So keep crying
So keep crying
(You'll get what you deserve)
At the hands of your work
You get what you deserve
You get what you deserve

We were never built to last
Taking the high road is letting go
So much for better or worse [3x]
(I fell in love with who I thought you were)
You'll get what you deserve

You should have killed her from the start
So keep crying
So keep crying
At the hands of your work
You get what you deserve
You get what you deserve

You made a bet
So let it out
Don't be surprised
Whatever what he decide
You made your bet
Don't be surprised
When the words are said
You'll get what you deserve

You shoulda killed her from the start
So keep crying
So keep crying
At the hands of your work
You get what you deserve
You get what you deserve

Don't think I'm not gonna come after you, bitch

7. Death Never Lets Us Say Goodbye

[Verse 1]
Try to remain whole as we spiral out of control
The weight of the world takes its toll
There’s gotta be a reason I’m still breathing
I’m still here

[Chorus]
Screaming “Take me!“
I should just bite the bullet
Taking aim at everything we love
Take me!
Oh, the thirst for power leaves us so devoured
Surviving myself

[Verse 2]
It’s hard to make sense of this mess
We can’t high five death
We know better than that
Still we pushed to the edge
I’m struggling with the fact
That I’m still left
But people have died for less

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?

[Chorus]

[Outro]
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?

8. Running Through The !6! With My Soul

[Verse 1]
Chatter, no self-esteem
Preserving me, could not believe
The way that you have treating me
So convinced yourself of your own worth

[Pre-Chorus]
Dying inside, waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, so far gone

[Chorus 1]
You said, you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be me again

[Verse 2]
Suppressed by the need to chance
And waiting
Maybe waiting's not working out
Maybe it's time to turn around
And finally walk, walk, walk on the ground
Cause you know who you are

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dying inside waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, I'm so far gone
So far gone, so far gone

[Chorus 2]
You said you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be us in the end

[Bridge]
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside

Your cries hold strong through the night
I'm on my knees begging with all my might
(Dying inside, dying inside)
Your cries hold strong through the night
Tell me now I'm gonna win this fight
(Dying inside, dying)

[Chorus 1]

9. Winter Everywhere

[feat. Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance]

[Verse 1]
They tell me hold on
But pain like this he suffers so long
And truth be told
If we ever did where would you be?
(Where would you be?)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's just the blame that you aim to
Even all the times I sang to just to keep you holding on

[Chorus 1]
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far

[Verse 2]
If you want, it could be my fault
I could be your masochistic scapegoat lover
I tore us apart, no way we can take it back
I lose my part for nothing
Lonely summers killing me because
There's still a fire when I think about you
I try to drown it, but I know it's no use
Nobody does it like the way we use to
Oh, whoa oh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's just the blame that you aim to
Even all the times I sang to just to keep you holding on
And all these moments with you that make me feel like I'm
Brave
(Please stop)

[Chorus 1]
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far

[Bridge]
I got the message; you got the message
(Cold)
Now that we're all alone
(Cold)
I got the message; you got the message
(Cold)
You're never coming home

(Oh whoa, oh)

[Chorus 2]
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang

[Chorus 3]
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest

[Outro 3x]

10. Why Fit in When You Can Stand Out?

Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark

The star of our own tragedy
Still we carry on oh so casually
(We are, we are)
Never broken, always being beating, left for dead
Until their bleeding heart's beating
We are

Whisper or shout
Why fit in when you can stand out?
All the things we go through just to be heard
We scream at the top of our lungs (Oh, oh)
We scream at the top of our lungs
Until the voice is heard

And there are times, when the darkness wins
Oh, and there are times, when I don't mind
Criticize, who are they?
Outshine the box
But life alone, but life alone, is taking the risk

Whisper or shout
Why fit in when you can stand out?
All the things we go through just to be heard
We scream at the top of our lungs (Oh, oh)
We scream at the top of our lungs
Until the voice is heard
Until the voice is heard

Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark
Leading the march
We're not leaving till we leave our mark

11. Shoutout To All My Toasters

(I've come too far to let this go)

Watching the bombs explode
Through a window looking down upon myself
And when the lights are low
I'm seeing red again
(I'm coming for you, ready or not)

This is my call to arms
But they'll never know
All the hate I'm feeling
I'm fighting back this time
(I'm gonna rise up)
I'm taking back what's mine
Ready or not

Feeling my art exposed
To the rhythm of the awful things I've done
When the lights are low
I remember they're not the only ones
So keep your chin up son
You're on your own now
You ignited the flame
It wouldn't stop burning
This fire inside
All the people you're hurting
(Ready or not)

This is my call to arms
But they'll never know
All the hate I'm feeling
I'm fighting back this time
(I'm gonna rise up)
I'm taking back what's mine
Ready or not

This ends today
I've come too far to let this go
I've come too far to let this go
And I'm not going to be afraid today
I've come too far to let this go
I've come too far to let this go
(I've come too far to let this go)
I'm coming for you ready or not

This is my call to arms
But they'll never know
All the hate I'm feeling
I'm fighting back this time
(I'm gonna rise up)
I'm taking back what's mine
Ready or not

12. Is Robbing Your Friends Supposed To Be Tight?

These day are long and
The years fly by
Dazed and forgotten
I held on to your heart
This was never my vision
Things were supposed to be different

Searching for hope
Searching for light
Went against my instincts out of spite

Searching for hope
Searching for light
All the money in the world wouldn't make it right

Oh! The thoughts of me failing,
Plague my dreams
All this regret grows constant
With no end it seems
So I keep falling from grace
One foot in the grave
This was never my vision
Things were supposed to be different

Searching for hope
Searching for light
Went against my instincts out of spite

Searching for hope
Searching for light
All the money in the world wouldn't make it right

You wait for something different
It never seems to come

You wait for something different
The battles never won

Searching
Searching for hope

13. One God

[Verse 1]
The farther I go, the further you get away from who we really are
I choose a different route, a different path in life
Praised by many, but still labeled an outcast

[Chorus]
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight

[Verse 2]
Make me out to be the bad guy
How long can I wear the blame?
Sick of feeling wrong
Why do they judge me all the same?
Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself to the ones who will never, never understand
Who will never

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
(Somewhere else)
It's somewhere else
(Somewhere)
It's somewhere else
(Somewhere)
It's somewhere else

14. We Are So Michelle Branch

Behind closed doors we lit a fire
From behind the same door we're self defined
Locked away in the prison in our minds
Well this time I'm gonna try
Runaway, runaway this time I'm gonna try
Runaway

Tear me open and reach right in
You'll see the truth cause you'll end up hating
Everything will be fine in the end
And I'll believe it, I won't have to pretend

I feel like life has become a long map
That leads me to you night after night
I see the marks up and down your arms
It's like a road map to
Maybe I'm just as lost as you
Well find a way through

Maybe I made a cliche
Wanting to die this way
I'm not trying this is (.....?)
Am I here or just standing in line
Addiction isn't overcoming for a place seen in time
My heart is higher but in your arms
I feel alive
In your arms I feel alive
And now I'm addicted to you
I've never felt so alive

15. If Only We Could Change

My mind, my mind (My mind)
Always drifts to you
Too tired to sleep, too exhausted to faint
My mind
Nightmares, oh (Nightmares, ohh woah oh)
So..
(So..)

It's the picture of you leaving, ohh woah oh
The thirst is so endless
So..
So..

Our time, our time
We get lost in this life (So..)
Our time, our time
We get lost..

Our time, our time (So..)
We get lost in this life
Our time, our time
We get lost
(We get lost)
(We get lost)
