Words by: Keagan Hughes Must we feel the feelings When they become something else Revolting into nothing It becomes a living hell Giving yourself a break Whilst burning cold desires You'll be there with me Standing in the fire And I can't believe it's midnight When I should've died Churning up a load of shit That was burning deep inside But not burning as much as The flesh upon my feet Why crash through life's endeavors When God devours us like a beast Stuck in limbo Standing in the fire Stuck in limbo Standing in desire I can't even take my eyes Off the liberty and trust That we all have in each other Acting like its a must To be, to see, to breathe the air That wallows in this filth They call it planet earth I call it living fucking hell People are so desperate Attention is much desired And those who think wiser Could never walk a mile It's a mess, it's a nightmare For this falling nation There is no plus sign In this math equation Stuck in limbo Standing in the fire Stuck in limbo Standing in desire

Free Fall 02:33
Words by: Keagan Hughes I saw the end of the world In a dream last night And I don't know where to go My own shadow left me In the dark sunlight And I must find where to go Free fall right into place When life seemed oh so great You were just a waste Of my time, of my time Searching in a world so damp I can't even see Where I must go now With forces crushing me It easy to see That I'm becoming someone else Free fall right into place When life seemed oh so great You were just a waste Of my time, of my time (2x) Troubled cracks shall disappear When the end comes so near Fate will clench you when in veer The veer of living here... Free fall right into place When life seemed oh so great You were just a waste Of my time, of my time (2x)

You Think 02:57
Words by: Keagan Hughes Can't wait for another person To come by and tell me that I'm doing something wrong Acting like all they speak is fact When they don't fucking stop Running their mouth from end to end I don't think you will last With my foot lodged up your ass If you think the world is wrong Then show me why you're right If you think that you can sing a long Then come to the show tonight If you take everything serious Then tell me why you're a joke If you think I'm acting stupid Then you should look at yourself Yeah I suck, I suck a lot But I embrace it completely You observe me way too much And are always judging me Look at yourself for once And maybe you will see How dumb you really look Compared to me If you think the world is wrong Then show me why you're right If you think that you can sing a long Then come to the show tonight If you take everything serious Then tell me why you're a joke If you think I'm acting stupid Then you should look at yourself Your slob like presence leaves An impression that's not so great You dick around too like me Your ignorance was a mistake Brought me to the edge of tears But then I fought back Should of thought twice before You went to be such an ass If you think the world is wrong Then show me why you're right If you think you can sing a long Then come to the show tonight If you take everything serious Then tell me why you're such a joke If you think I'm acting stupid Then you should look at yourself

Words by: Keagan Hughes You are my love of life I shall cherish forever In this burning hole Life's endeavors You are my soul to keep In this wondrous hell Trapped in the comfort Of a broken spell And I was there all the time You pushed me to the end of the line I can't feel the pain anymore It's about time I slammed the door You are the knife in my chest You put my soul to rest Reaching out for something To keep you safe You are the gaping hole That is stuck on my brain You are just the right person to Drive me insane And I was there all the time You pushed me to the end of the line I can't feel the pain anymore It's about time I slammed the door

Words by: Keagan Hughes We need a cure to help These people in grief These heartbreakers, demons, Villains, and thieves We need a superhero The jack of all trades To pull out our problems From beneath the lampshade Helping hands grow old and wrinkled Dreams fall as I please Keep your hope or open your eyes The cure won't cure your disease We need a cure to destroy Problematic bound lives A truth lever to open These cold blooded eyes We need a way out of here Before it's too late We'll lose our minds We'll lose our brains Helping hands grow old and wrinkled Dreams fall as I please Keep your hope or open your eyes The cure won't cure your disease We need a lie to spread truth Upon helpless little people The populous is prominent And much more defined We need more time to decide If we should live or die In this world of mixed opinions Not much left to hide Helping hands grow old and wrinkled Dreams fall as I please Keep your hope or open your eyes The cure won't cure your disease

Words by: Keagan Hughes I have a lot of questions And you've asked me some too I've had a lot of feelings But they weren't for you I've always needed comfort And to be cleansed of fear But that will never happen Since the coast is never clear Maybe if we changed the way New things would be astray Casted myself into retribution Making myself feel More prominent than before Casted all my intentions To be something Since I couldn't have more I have a lot of answers To questions that I don't know But they always come back to me It's something is undergo They tell me I'm insane Been put on the wrong shelf To those people I say Go fuck yourselves Maybe if we changed the way New things would be astray Casted myself into retribution Making myself feel More prominent than before Casted all my intentions To be something Since I couldn't have more And if I retained.... Something to be the same.... And if we are all the same.... Then are we insane? Casted myself into retribution Making myself feel More prominent than before Casted all my intentions To be something else Since I couldn't have more And you LIVE LAUGH LOVE THEN DIE Yes you LIVE LAUGH LOVE THEN DIE We all LIVE LAUGH LOVE THEN DIE We must LIVE LAUGH LOVE THEN DIE

These Lights 04:07
Words by: Keagan Hughes These lights have held me down Upon the look of your face To others you've reconciled Their meaning and their faith But I have felt enclosed Ever since this box was made Forced upon to be something Then you left without a trace With love in my eyes You've felt this way The truth was bound Since the first day But now we're gone Into the flames And now it will never Be the same These frights of being chosen To be the next one dead Following me every day Keeps me in a state of dread They come and go for a while And they hurdle me with light For the reasons apparent Built up and kept inside With love in my eyes You've felt this way The truth was bound Since the first day But now we're gone Into the flames And now it will never Be the same These lights have been building A bridge to the end of my mind And they feel like collapsing Into something I can't find But there was reasons That have brought me to the edge And here I stand thinking That I am better off dead With love in my eyes You've felt this way The truth was bound Since the first day But now we're gone Into the flames And now it will never Be the same

Words by: Keagan Hughes if you could stop me would you try? if you had the power could you make the guilt die? leave no trace of what you have done walk away in guilt screaming at the sun

Ascend 03:48
Words by: Keagan Hughes These roads of contempt Shadow my fallen ones Hidden beneath the cracks In the dress you have worn And I can't feel anything Since what seemed so long ago Where am I to start And where am I to go? Your greatest enemy Is in black and white Her name is leaves you dead And you cannot suffice Those dreary thoughts Contain a wicked smile Hatred suddenly redeems What it cannot feel We need another one We need a second son Another corpse to lay In another shallow grave We need another one We need to hold the gun Another trigger happy day Why don't you come and stay? You cannot seek the truth The misty eyes conceal Unearthly feelings That you have revealed They know well know What you're all about Living off a godsend That you cannot dismount We need another one We need a second son Another corpse to lay In another shallow grave We need another one We need to hold the gun Another trigger happy day Why don't you come and stay?

Paid In Folk 03:54
Words by: Henry Burton Walls of buildings rise and fall Friendships that don't listen at all 2 to 1, talking to 2 walls Only things that'll listen to me talk Hold you're breath dive right in Closest thing to a swimming lesson Which kept me from swimming Which got me into guitar playing A kid who doesn't play any sports Doesn't have anything to stand for Until he's taller then the lines on the door Opinions that he just can't afford Playing guitar instead of a soldier In the self created high school war At first he was pretty damn bored But now he can play palm muted power chords No money means we are broke We have as much as you'd expect So every time we get that check At the bottoms it reads paid in folk Tell me to swim as far as I can Hope I can swim to my graduation But if I don't I'll always have a band And I will experience my life first hand I will always fear that I'll have a stroke And the hospital probably won't take folk So everyday will be carried by the smells of soap So I don't feel unclean or lose any hope Sewing the holes I've ripped in my clothes Has become the hobby after I doze The highs of my life aren't much taller then my lows Ask me my worth I don't have much to show But I'm still happy with my family & friends I don't fell,I have to follow any trends The friends I've made are better then gems That hold don't my roots and strengthen my stems No money means we are broke We have as much as you'd expect So every time we get that check At the bottoms it reads paid in folk

Words by: Henry Burton If no one can hear you in space Then I'm an astronaut when I'm at my place No one hears me complain If you were a planet, you'd be Venus I want to settle on you being serious Even though I'd probably die instantly Which not might be a bad thing I have astronaut syndrome With astronomical problems All my life I've wanted to die But living a while I'm thinking twice Life can be pretty good I know sometimes this life can suck But you just gotta look up Whether you believe in god or not I have astronaut syndrome With astronomical problems If no one can hear you in space Then we're all astronauts until we meet face to face

Words by: Henry Burton Just got some candy from the candy store Every day I go back for some more The store owner clerk tells me it only brings death I tell him wait for the day I feel his breath Cause I'm gonna tell him Don't kill me for making myself feel good Just some candy cigarettes and candy heroin too I need it to make myself feel like I should Just as well as anyone my age should I was in an abusive relationship with my step dad So I took to candy to ease all the bad But he'd only beat me up and steal all my candy And burn words on my skin to show how much he loved me Now I'm outta that but I'm still into treats Looking out for my sweet tooth on every single street If only my family could see me now I might have a place to sleep inside of a house Don't kill me for making myself feel good Just some candy cigarettes and candy heroin too I need it to make myself feel like I should Just as well as anyone my age should Some may ask why I chose the candy of death I don't remember but now I need it to act my best People find out and they call me insane But the candy heroin helps me kill the pain People say I'll go to hell when I'm at my job I ask why because I smoke, so does god They look offended when I unwrap another smoke I guess it's true, different strokes for different folks Don't kill me for making myself feel good Just some candy cigarettes and candy heroin too I need it to make myself feel like I should Just as well as anyone my age could bye dad ;(

Words by: Henry Burton My arms are getting weak From punching walls all week I need to get some sleep But I have other ideas I have no other plans I have to figure out my life Have to take out the trash But this week went by too fast I am stuck where I stand But this is not what I planned My breaking point is in my hands And I'm about to land But you are not to blame Neither is it my fault So I will go on a drive And think about our lives Chorus But morning time stress is keeping me from going back to sleep I could never stand sleeping in this heat A hot day in Ohio is colder in California But I hope these songs are disappointing for ya I hope someone someday will see What all of these songs mean Now I'm locked & loaded so please Don't encourage me to leave But I'm always prepared Though I'm not really ready I hope it doesn't hurt Oh I hope it does hurt I want a happy ending But not one with you in it My hands have reached their limit I have to stop writing These songs have no end All of them have no beginning They're supposed to mean something But end up meaning nothing But morning time stress is keeping me from going back to sleep I could never stand sleeping in this heat A hot day in Ohio is colder in California But I hope these songs are disappointing for ya And in the event of a car crash Be sure to cover up your face So glass won't stab out your eyes Could you imagine the pain? In the event of a brake up Be sure to cover your emotions So it seems you never felt Anything

Cancer Song 02:23
Words by: Henry Burton When they tell me I have cancer They better have an answer I don't wanna spend the rest of my days My cells being taken away I'll have another heart attack When they tell me I'm in relapse And I won't hesitate to choke someone If they say I have a breathing problem My bones break like The 40 oz bottles I drink Which started as a hobby To help me become healthy I guess they only really hurt Which is something I learned I've lost hope for medicine To save me and the ones hurting Radiation seeds better help Take away the cancer cells And grow into a blossomed rose Like how the body was years ago Health problems hearts broken Patients wake up with chests open Anesthesia wore out too soon The family never found out the truth Fight your fucking heart outside Survive oh please please please survive So stand at attention Pick up your weapon March onto stage 2 Cause I believe in you Don't let it shoot you down You've got all of us around When they tell me I have cancer I don't know how I'll answer Either as a very broken man Or as a general in command But all I probably do Is do the same as you And tell everybody I'll be fine Just keep me in the pros-act state of mind Radiation seeds better help Take away the cancer cells And grow into a blossomed rose Like how the body was years ago Health problems hearts broken Patients wake up with chests open Anesthesia wore out too soon The family never found out the truth

Some Warmth 03:00
Words by: Henry Burton Singing about some fake girls With the rhyming in my words Calling them beautiful They don't exist in this world The day I'm called a poet Will be known as when I exploded Cause when I care for you I'll show it But today I'm far from it When you shoot me from across the room With a fully loaded handgun I questioned my love for you And what's next to come Don't blame me for my behavior It was the way I was born So you can set me on fire And use my flame for some warmth I'm watching news channels now Cause my family turned them on But I'd rather be watching cartoons So I went out and drank coke on the lawn My family disagrees with me With all of my chose scenery I put around myself Four broken walls and empty shelves I'm ready to be broken like glass Because I have a steel exterior And it was built to last But everyday it cracks a little bit easier Don't blame me for my behavior It was the way I was born So you can set me on fire And use my flame for some warmth You can tell when I'm being honest Cause that's when my voice is strongest So I will be brave from here on out And sing as loud as I can with my mouth Don't blame me for my behavior It was the way I was born So you can set me on fire And use my flame for some warmth
