VILLAINS LYRICS

1. Extortion (Intro)

2. Falsifier

Now we've both got targets on our backs, but I refuse to share the power.
Kneel before me now, your crutch and your creator.
Fuck what you took for fact. You're bearing witness to the birth of what's next to come.
And as what was known begins to fall to pieces
we'll keep the I told you so's in our heads or at least under our breath.
But if promises mean so much, I can tell you one thing.
I can make damn sure that this becomes clear to you.
I'm so tired of this charade of yours, there's no mercy for the impure.
You won't take me down on this sinking ship, full of arrogance, lies, and all your fucking bullshit.
So just jog in place and keep up that facade, you fucking falsifier, without me to lean on.

3. Voice Of Reason

Those with voice
are those without heart
they are the gluttonous
that will still rip the meat from your bones for sustenance
the rich that steal from those with nothing
the leeches, decked in gold feast upon common blood
 
Let my barbaric cry echo
through these mountains that surround me
let the very breath from my lungs be heard
and let it flow through you
 
This is all that I have
my voice of tribute to the broken
To those with crushed spirits
and clouded minds
That let their fury grow inside
until it renders them blind
 
We have our eyes wide open,
and for it we are hated.
We are traitors,
and we are tomorrow.
 
So, let the scripture of yesteryear ring true today
We aren't perfect, but we learn from our mistakes.
But we won't hear what we once had to say,
our only option is to keep wishing our time away.
 
This is my letter to a world that never wrote to me.
Wrote to me
This is my letter to a world that never wrote to me.

4. Directions To Servants

[feat. Austin @ The Calm Before]

we're just connecting the dots of past encounters
hanging on to what you know
and what’s become far too familiar over time.
We include one another in our stagnance and time may as well stand still.
 
We're all servants to a master bent on our destruction,
we bow our heads and say "jump how high?"
This isn't a right, it’s a responsibility.
 
I'm just a sheep, but I've got a little fight in me.
A tired dog, but I've still got some bite in me.
 
So here's to the degradation of the pride we'd built
Do they only stand by ignorance? Is that their happy state,
The proof of their obedience and their faith?
 
I swear to God this is a comedy.
The cruelest joke I've never told,
but in my head, it never gets old.
 
We allow the crimes against ourselves,
so how can we complain?
We're the source of our own pain, so even though
I've found a place to rest my head,
I still can't sleep.
I still can't sleep at night.
The delusions are setting in,
but I still can't sleep at night.
No dreams will come, I lay and weep
I still can't sleep, I still can't sleep...
