Be the father write the rules
In the mirror lie to you
Help me be the
Help me be the best of a better man
There are no breaks just mistakes
It’s hard to face what can’t be changed
Help me be the
Help me be the best of a better man
Change the water, kill the fish
Become the scapegoat of someone's wish
To phase you out and off the list of lovers.

Blank excuses have come to light
Blinding my way.
Attack on mother who gave us everything
That we piss away.
Facing regrets, we never met the end until we truly see the end.
We will never last, history repeats, we were born to die before our time.
Break the bones and rip up the roots
To kill everything that stands in our way
Humans die today.
Facing regrets, we never met the end until we truly see the end.
We will never last, history repeats, we were born to die before our time.
It’s a hard way out

Back home I’d watch my step
Or get poked in the chest
If I was out of line
The wooden spoon to my behind
The rule what’s on my plate
Was made sure that I ate
And if I tried to hide
I would be there all night
chorus:
It didn’t hurt so bad
I had to work too young
If I wanted to have fun
I rode my bike for miles
I got my credit filed
I believed I could never win
Got punished for my sins
I walked through life with fear
Until my mind came clear.
chorus:
It didn’t hurt so bad

This is where I get trapped inside
With all the comforts keep me warm at night
I made it tough to leave this house of shame.
chorus:
I don’t want to be driving alone
But I can’t spend another night at home
I thought, What if I could reinvent myself
From the mundane and my poor health
I could have the chance to be worth a dime.
chorus:
I don’t want to be driving alone
But I can’t spend another night at home

May I remind you, may I remind you
It’s not all about you, it’s not all about you
chorus:
What do I do when you're banging the wall
Did you ever think I feel it too?
How can I sleep when you’re screaming so loud
About something that I cannot see.
I know your on hard times
I just might be too.
Let’s assume we are in the same place
So fuck off I need sleep because of you.
chorus:
What do I do when you're banging the wall
Did you ever think I feel it too?
How can I sleep when you’re screaming so loud
About something that I cannot see.

More than I hoped for now
I built upon times that fell out
Be there for one for now
Right now it’s hard to get out
chorus:
No way, No way to rise 2x
Metal is harder than glass
Like a fatal heart attack
Remove all sense of doubt
I’m working harder now.
chorus:
No way, No way to rise
Bridge:
I will feel crowded in
With no other chance to win
The spit that drenched my face
In a form of disgrace
Not will but when will I stand
And become whole again.

Pull yourself together darling
Living hard and soaking wet
Problems never find resolve
When you live on a jagged edge
chorus:
Living off my dime
You just crossed the line
I love you anyway
But this is hard to say
Drowning in your medicine
Doesn’t change the mess you're in.
Father issues are a lame excuse
I won’t let you take me down with you.
chorus:
Living off my dime
You just crossed the line
I love you anyway
But this is hard to say
Bridge:
We are miles away
Pictures of a thousand lies
I don’t know if we can stay alive
you need to learn to be alone
Until your soul can find a home.
Pictures of a thousand lies 4x

I walk against the wind
It’s 40x the speed of sound
So much hate for everything
That surrounds my living space
chorus:
I’m ready to escape
On the phone Its crackling
I can barely hold two sentences
Noise pollution infiltrates
Through my head wishing I were dead.
chorus:
I’m ready to escape

Working for you
Down in the ditch
Bleeding for you
Ain't life a switch
chorus:
Heavy and hard
I know how it is.3x
Too many drinks
After your shift
How does it feel
To be someone’s bitch
chorus:
Heavy and hard
I know how it is. 3x
Solo
chorus:
Heavy and hard
I know how it is. 2x

The final year of lovers, always wondered how they made it this far.
One broken heart to another, moving fast to another quick fix.
I read that time is a mother, gives it all and it takes it all back.
To the sons and daughters, you’re gonna give more than you ever receive.
Memories always change
Pictures lie, beauty fades
The world is gray, close your eyes and the colors come back.
We learn to live with deep regret.
Come to see, there is no heaven or hell.
What we believe, becomes a joke for the living to tell
Memories always change
Pictures lie, beauty fades
