Cheating Death 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Darkness sings in my head Demons sneak in my bed It seems I cannot help but fall Darkness sings in my head Demons sneak in my bed Once I open the gate to them all I'm cheating death I'm below the zenith I'm cheating death Holding my last breath Carve my call in hallow stone Clench my fists of heavy bone Heed my word against their will Carve my call in hallow stone Clench my fists of heavy bone But never can they get their fill I'm cheating death I'm below the zenith I'm cheating death Holding my last breath <bridge> You see my shell, my trap is laid Sure you thought you came to save My facade begins to fade Greet the dawn as my new slave <solo> "Have you tried shooting him?" I'm cheating death I'm below the zenith I'm cheating death Holding my last breath I'm cheating death I'm below the zenith I'm cheating death Holding my last breath I'm cheating death I'm below the zenith I'm cheating death Holding my last breath ...cheating death

You stumble But keep walking You stumble trip over your feet You stumble But keep talking You stumble And lose your seat I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall You fumble All your words You mumble All your slurs You fumble Through all your words You mumble Through all your slurs I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall (Music interlude) Through your broken teeth Through your token thoughts Through the scars beneath Through all you have lost I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall I saw you go You fell off I heard you fall I saw you go I heard you fall I saw you go You fell off the wagon again

Oblivion 04:28
lyrics

You... are no where To be found You... cant save me From the hard hard ground I'm Straining... Just to hear your sound You ever only give me ... pennies on the pound I hit the wall of Oblivion I hit the wall of Oblivion So... sad I sit here all alone Brought so down... Just by your simple tone No hope left... You never throw bone I'm far too young to.... Be acting like a crone I hit the wall of Oblivion I hit the wall of Oblivion (Bridge) Buried... Deep inside your past For...get...you You lost me so damn fast Unconditional My love for you was vast Blindsided.. How I thought that it would last Unknowing.. That that stone was the last The very last stone That you would ever cast Here I come... Oblivion Here I come... Oblivion You... are no where To be found You... cant save me From the hard hard ground I'm still... Straining... Just to hear your sound I'm still... Failing... To make you turn around

NOT 03:14
lyrics

Slip into the inky darkness For-get-the-troub-bles of the light Move into the void of sparkless Let-my-self-lose the fight Disturb me not, Let me rest I Turn to rot, Forget the past Lose myself among deep waters Drift-be-yond-all cares and thought Forget the will of all good daughters Swim past brambles that would be caught Disturb me not, Let me rest I Turn to rot, Forget the past Light shines deep, trying to raise me Lur-ing-taun-ting with interest Still I turn not wanting to see Sights-which-bring an-ger to infest (Light shines deep, trying to raise me Still I turn away not wanting to see) Disturb me not, Let me rest I Turn to rot, Forget the past {I'm not you, I'm not me Blinded by life, My eyes cant see I'm not you, I'm not me} Slip into inky the darkness Let myself lose the fight

Dig deeper - they are coming Dig deeper - hold your breath Dig deeper - keep on running Dig deeper - they bring death Hideaway Live to fight another day Hideaway Live to fight another day Dig deeper - throw them off Dig deeper - on their toes Dig deeper - beat their game Dig deeper - defeat your foes Hideaway Live to fight another day Hideaway Live to fight another day If you do not want to die You should never have been born If you do not want to die You should never have been born Hideaway Live to fight another day Hideaway Live to fight another day Hideaway

SLAP 03:49
lyrics
buy track
What you got inside, I wanna see Could be sweet or sour, set it free Cant let the system get you down All those queens and kings, they lose their crowns You gotta show the world what your made of Or they crush you up, right from above You've got to... Stand right up and Slap 'em in the face You've got to... Stand right up and Slap 'em in the face No one speaks for you, so they say Take all that you want, before it goes away Nothing is for free, you pay the price So if you want your cake, you take a slice First come first serve, last ones to starve Without the knife its your... Throat they carve You've got to... You've got to... Slap 'em in the face You've got to... You've got to... Slap 'em in the face You can chase the dragon, live in dreams Life still sneaks right in, thru the seams You can burrow in, close the blinds Alone in the dark losing your mind You can run away, fight the tide No one comes looking, when you hide You've got to... Stand right up and Slap 'em in the face You've got to... Stand right up and Slap 'em in the face
