Intro 01:02
American Desperate
2.
This has been my grand design killing myself for some peace of mind I need to know, am I where I should be? Sometimes, I don't feel you with me So, I'll try once again to keep my head above water when I can't fucking swim There's a pain I can't seem to let go there's no peace in my heart no place I call home. I was a quiet ghost in a quiet room you were the rose that was watered but forgot to bloom The thing about dead friends is they never leave when the living never fucking stay every time I open up they walk away I've got a family of phantoms I'm building homes out of headstones it's all too much to handle Just let me die in peace There's no hope for my American dream All I want to do is die in peace I've got a family of phantoms building homes out of headstones it's all too much to handle

Indulgence 01:48
I should have died 100 times who knew a basement would save my life? I'm not hopeless I have nothing to hope for I will die alone, desperate and poor The bruises on my arms are so unbecoming your empty stare has me worried you're not listening All I want to do is fucking sleep but I feel everybody's eyes looking at me I'm only sick as the secrets I keep can I be a secret you can keep Just when I thought a day couldn't get any longer I have again awoken to the painful realization of who I really am I am nothing, I am dust and dirt

Werewolf 02:02
There's a sound, more like a voice, in my head it's like putting smoke back in a cigarette sleeping all day to pretend that you're dead but you force yourself awake because you can't stand your bed when's this gonna stop? I'm counting seconds on a broken clock There's a song playing in my head, "all hail the loved and the living dead" What's the point of all my broken teeth? Everything I fight for will be taken from me Never cross a man who's seen the worst in you Never cross a man who's seen the worst in himself I remember the way that you held my hand I was eight and I thought my world was gonna end The monster in my closet slept in my mother's room I beat my fear like he beat me I don't want to be like you

Hatekeeper 02:14
We are not the same There are snakes in the Capitol Rats in the streets Thieves in the hospitals Shouting "All Lives Matter" from your white-washed towns You kings and queens of the suburbs in your white-washed crowns You're so unaffected putting children in cages but crying over burning precincts I guess that's where your rage is Angry at the poor cuz they feel they're unheard but you'll take the ones that rob you at their fucking word At least you'll die in comfort I don't know how you sleep at night knowing that there's wars that you choose not to fight Another young black kid killed by the cops All the things you could've done but you chose to not At least you'll die in comfort (Everyday women, people of color and the LGBT community are attacked and killed in America while YOU remain silent, but hey...) At least you'll die in comfort Hatekeeper
6.
Ours To Own 01:40
We have worked and ground our tired bones to ashes spilled our blood Shown there's nothing weaker than the strength of one When we bind ourselves like iron, though the group will overcome (the group will overcome) We have nothing in common with the businessman We built the dream while they have built demand We stand outcast and starving while our blood is on their hands When we stand with our brothers the world is ours to own (we can rebuild) But we can't do it alone Solidarity
