Frozen Ocean 03:25
put my time in turning into something bad had in my soul now my bowl’s cashed blank ship coal-whipped burning like a burnt tip hashed plans come to waste like the waste I am I fold machines don’t ask just shake me up and throw me back I crush like gold arms on a frozen ocean and colder than my heart I don’t know which world is coming into sight cause there’s nothing gonna make me right cut my soul nice took another look inside right past the heart on the dark side crushed up mine like pieces of my veins were twine my mind’s only right in the life I knew the only thing I do is find a hole to fall into now cause I crush like gold arms on a frozen ocean and colder than my heart I don’t know which world is coming into sight cause there’s nothing gonna make me right now I feel it can’t help it cause I’m just barely here set my life on fire now I’m running so high and empty yeah it’s the cost of being me I’m gonna bleach my soul to find me before my heart floats out to sea
2.
I got myself drowned holy in water I got my old demons leading me to slaughter ain’t no begin like an end that won’t cut straight I never knows what I wants until it’s too late and you are better off without the pain inside your head that’s right yeah you are better off without the pain inside your head go ahead and do what you gotta do to stop it I got my heart and I got my ways to lock it when you got no home doesn’t matter where you ride to it’s nobody’s right to decide what goes inside you so get the sun before the rain falls cuz you are better off without the pain inside your head that’s right yeah you are better off without the pain inside your head what don’t kill you dead can still make you wish you were yeah
3.
this little hole is where I’ll make my home cuz I don’t need the crowd it only brings me down I’m not the same as the rest of you how your culture says to be who wants to flock with the masses? a carbon copied community so come on and stand on your own don’t speak if you won’t lead yeah stand on your own hold on to no one yeah I got my heart awake and I got my third eye on no time to live in a system rigged against you from the start so come on and stand on your own don’t speak if you won’t lead yeah come on and stand all on your own burn like a candle in the dark someone should light this world on fire so come on and stand on your own don’t speak if you won’t lead yeah stand on your own hold on to no one yeah
4.
I find myself inside myself I lost my soul and grew my head You couldn’t have loved me better I couldn’t have hurt you more if I had tried and the crime is I tried So go fill your heart now there’s a reason we never worked it out so just go fill your heart up now we know that our love was not enough you fall down and break your spirit like a thought you can’t disprove just to get it all straight in your head if it keeps you from the dark light up what you got keep it coming and at this point I don’t care who I do what I want to or nothing if that’s what I choose it’s not enough to feel alone you only miss it when it’s gone you couldn’t have loved me better I couldn’t have been more cold if I were dead cause I’m dead now inside So go fill your heart now there’s a reason we never worked it out so just go fill your heart up now we know that our love was not enough what if I’d never said hello now there’d be no goodbye living in the hole where I escaped when our lives are washed away the lone remain will be what we made but go fill your heart now there’s a reason we never worked it out so just go fill your heart up now we know that our love was not enough

Nothing left 03:32
the end will come the end will always come yeah the end will always come for me the times erased that I still remember are still erasing me got nothing left to do got nothing left to lose got nothing left of you looking out the back from where I fought to I watch it fade away when you’re the one with the sun there’s no shadow to pay just a free bag of rays that keeps you burned to the bone got nothing left to do got nothing left to lose got nothing left of you and now I’m in this hell and I built myself a home it’s the price I pay for mistakes of yesterday and I know I got nothing right when I left it all behind it’s the first and last time of my life got nothing left to do got nothing left to lose got nothing left of you comatose with bullet holes dead and frozen
6.
Colde 04:10
lost my way in the clouds we made I’m bringing myself back down can’t get high with my apple eyes I’ll lead a low life for now and now I closed my heart on the open road I don’t know why I can’t get back and then I fell apart on the old way home I don’t know what I really had cause now I’m so cold and nothing’s gonna feel that warm and now I’m so cold cause nothing’s ever been so good I cut new teeth on the old disease the enemy’s in my heart your sound’s alive but your sight’s deceased I’m tearing myself apart and now I closed my heart on the open road I don’t know where I lost myself and then I fell apart on the old way home I don’t know who I really am cause now I’m so cold and nothing’s gonna feel that warm and now I’m so cold cause nothing’s ever been so good I had a good thing under my paw it rang out of the ocean like a siren song and though hungry I tried to be the starving one all the frost in my soul erupted out cause now I’m so cold and nothing’s gonna feel that warm again and now I’m so cold cause nothing’s ever been so good like that

Antofagasta 04:19
I don’t need my head cause I don’t do what it says and yeah it’s in my blood but my blood ain’t thick at all so cut up my soul and slice it raw unthawed unscrew the shackles from my dead-ended love culling through faith like water bleeding out boiling true ripping your face to offer nothing they offered you and I could see it now if I could see at all I would blink it out and so here’s my heart I can burn what I want and it fills me up don’t be dead just be wrong so shoot up my swollen apple arms unarmed I never could handle when I get what I want culling through faith like water bleeding out boiling true ripping your face to offer nothing they offered you and I could live again if I could live a day but I would die the same now I cease to know which eroded path I’ll flow don’t leave me all alone ghosts let out from capture and claws brought in to home steady my lifeless soul culling through faith like water bleeding out boiling true ripping your face to offer nothing they offered you

Wraith 04:06
burn my love spit it out and give me sunshine I need more than any person could afford my heart is a black hole love me til it’s over go just crack me til I shatter like it matters burn me to the roots now somehow nothing ever comes out on the other side someday someday when we’re free there’ll be no pain there there’ll be nothing and I shall cry no more cuz my eyes won’t see love me til it’s over told ya nothing here to save yeah I’m a wasteland burn me to the roots now somehow nothing ever finds me in my iron shell Now I now I fall asleep the end is coming it calls for me it calls for me I don’t even know why I feel so high kick me to the ground I might empathize love me til you find this person inside just try don’t let them in might just feel something real but you can love me til it’s over go just crack me til I shatter like it matters burn me to the roots now somehow nothing ever comes out on the other side

cuantas veces soy el mismo cuantas veces voy a cambiar cuantas veces sé la razón cuantas veces voy a preguntar prepárate para lo que viene ahora no se tiene que venir cuantos meses se recuerda cuantos años vives sin vivir voy a ser muchas cosas lo que quiero es todo lo que voy a ser muchas cosas lo que quiero es todo lo que existe pero si existo puedes tenerme cuantas veces no sé nada cuantas veces yo creo captar cuantas veces voy a caerme cuantas veces me obligo a bajar voy a ser muchas cosas lo que quiero es todo lo que voy a ser muchas cosas lo que quiero es todo lo que existe pero si existo puedes tenerme y al final estaré contigo la primera vez tal vez soy lo mismo que las lunas en tu corazón son llenas de amor

Kratom 03:03
I can’t break me out so I’ll burn this down there’s no love to spare my heart is bare yeah I break to hold to lose the faith that keeps the pain away the only fault that wasn’t mine is on the other side of a hundred excuses I never used but I should’ve tried if you hold on I’ll be there before you know so goodbye to my life now I know it was never really mine your kratom filled my eyes so huddle with me if you can I shiver like a ghost in time your name may change not your mind and I’ll rewind but I’d do it again and I don’t even care when it ends yeah we rise and we fall but I don’t need the sun in my hands it was enough to enjoy what I had when I was hearing the world’s most beautiful sound until I fell back down I was in love when I filled with love my head blew up yeah but in time we’ll be on the other side and we’ll work this time
15.
when did we talk about it when did I first know now that I live without it it’s harder than before the jewel in my coffer is a hole through my heart to you I could offer only stones in my art a three-week psychosis is my killer to this day everything that I thought it was more than I could ever say but don’t take me in I’m gonna bite you like you still remember well what you’re scared about is what I’ll do if you give in to this so keep your ground and keep me out baby beware wake up and smile that you don’t have to see me there it’s not what I wanted but it’s safer to be scared the joy in my life was just too wholesome for me destroy what you love and it will not set you free don’t take me in I’m gonna burn you like you still know I did what you’re scared about is what I’ll do if you give in to this I’m gonna do it all again so baby please beware
