The Dread 03:44
Here comes the dread, the sudden apprehension I don’t know where it comes from and I’m not sure how to stress this I’m looking for the truth, I search in desperation I’ve watched my whole damn life just for a spark of inspiration Why is it so hard to start a new tradition? We’re watching generations die of life in contradiction “Just do what I say, don’t do what I do” It’s hard to watch them all grow old and still die in their youth I’m not giving in, I’m not accepting this is the end I’m going to burn out trying to save myself And I just want you to know I understand I am alone And if I’ve learned from what you’ve said, it’s that I am already dead I’m tired of always fighting but I know that it can’t wait I’m strong enough to cope with it but what a goddamn waste I never thought my energy would burn on all this dirt And now my time is claimed, claimed but never earned I’m not giving in, I’m not accepting this is the end I’m going to burn out trying to save myself And I just want you to know I understand I am alone And if I’ve learned from what you’ve said, it’s that I am already dead It’s going to catch up and it’s going to get bad We’re right at the point where there’s no turning back And you better not scream that you’re only a victim The world is to blame and it’s only tradition We’re not giving up, we’re not mindless machines Repeating the lines that we see on our screens This life we’ve been given is always the hardest We’re meant to adventure, explore, and be artists I’m not giving in, I’m not accepting this is the end I’m going to burn out trying to save myself And I just want you to know I understand I am alone And if I’ve learned from what you’ve said, it’s that I am already dead

I have this obsession, romantic and deep Of a hero who dies at the hands of the villain Who used to have courage, who used to believe But struggles to find the strength to get through this I hate indiscretion, I hate that I’m weak I hate that our greed got us too deep into this We’re dead, we’re tired, we’re broken We’re stuck in debt and we’re choking We’re drowning in all of your lies And all of us are trying To live without denying The part of us that’s still alive We’re dead, we’re tired, we’re broken We’re stuck in debt and we’re choking We’re drowning in all of your lies And all of us are trying To live without denying The part of us that’s still alive

It’s better to die brave than live a coward Nobler to chase a dream and die penniless in the streets Live bold and die old; motto of heroes And now words and phrases are your ghosts The world at the tip, the tip of my fingers And slowly I fear, the end it draws near, and failure still lingers And yet I sleep, a deep slumber I sleep I see what I see, it all comes to be, because I sleep And yet I sleep, a deep slumber I sleep I see what I see, it all comes to be, because I sleep At the end of the world our words can still save us As long as we’re here, and breathe, and stand resolute in the streets

Try goddamn it cause you’re losing your ground Your thunderous beginning has turned into the sound Of the one thing you never wanted to be But you can’t break now you’re not meant to give up The only thing they’ll see is that you’re not good enough But one day you’re going to make them see That you’ve never been afraid, always been alone That you’re smarter than they think, better than they know And the only thing you need is a chance and a chance and a chance But all you ever hear is another no And it’s harder every day just to let it go And you’re running out of time to advance and advance and advance I’ve been walking your way but I’m so tired And I’m looking for a way out But it’s always one more, and it’s always one last time And it’s finally going to catch me I’ve been running, I’ve been hiding, I’ve been waiting for the call I’ve been watching every move and I’ve been ready all along You better brace for impact, you better dig in while your strong You better take that last breath, you’re going to want it when it’s gone My deepest fear is that I’ll be a sad and angry man, bitter in the end That I’m fighting all alone and I’m never meant to know if it’s worth it in the end Don’t ever give up, we can’t let them win Don’t ever give in to the fear they live in We’re smarter, we’re stronger, we’re better My deepest fear is that I’ll be a sad and angry man, bitter in the end That I’m fighting all alone and I’m never meant to know if it’s worth it in the end

The Burden 03:15
My life has been changing, I knew it wouldn’t last My mistakes came back to haunt me, and to repeat my shitty past And I can feel these walls are closing, they’re closing Last night I had a dream, the world went down in flames I was chased by superstition, I was cut by everything And now I can’t stop bleeding Life is getting lonely, but I know I’m not alone I know I’m not alone I just can’t help but think that this life is not my own This life is not my own Haunted by ghosts that should long have since passed My life is consumed by this time that won’t last And still I can’t stop bleeding One day this world will beat you until you’re on the ground and broken And the dirt that moves with stuttered breath will be a promise kept unspoken That you have to get up, that you can’t let it break you This is your burden and this is your life This is your time now and this is your fight Just move on Life is getting lonely, but I know I’m not alone I know I’m not alone I just can’t help but think that this life is not my own This life is not my own Haunted by ghosts that should long have since passed My life is consumed by this time that won’t last And still I can’t stop bleeding

I have no trouble finding the best in someone else But can only seem to focus on the worst within myself And I don’t know where that comes from, and I don’t know how to change I’m afraid I’ll spend my whole life, trying to figure out a way I told myself that I would try until the end I made myself a promise, I’ll die before I’m broken Life is a funny thing when death seems all the better When it feels like it's the end and it’s hard just to remember When the wind felt just like love, and the world moved with the passion That you had when you were young I told myself that I would try until the end I made myself a promise, I’ll die before I’m broken I told myself that I would try until the end I made myself a promise, I’ll die before I’m broken I'll die before I'm broken I'll die before I'm broken I'll die before I'm...
