Nightmare 04:21

​NIGHTMARE Darkness takes over me I close my eyes but I can still see My nightmare manifesting He's in my room and I can't sleep Wide awake he takes control What he wants I don't know Staring deep inside my soul It's getting darker it's getting cold There’s a devil at my bedside He watches as I sleep Sometimes I catch him staring Sometimes he’s in my sheets There’s a devil at my bedside I can see it in his eyes He doesn’t want my soul He wants me to die Chorus A nightmare (a nightmare) to me I'm blinded by the curse that haunts my dreams A nightmare (a nightmare) to me I'm blinded by your sweet haunting melody Cast my sins aside you'll see The devil staring back at me Into a pit of darkness he leads Death is the only certainty There’s a devil at my bedside He watches as I sleep Sometimes I catch him staring Sometimes he’s in my sheets There’s a devil at my bedside I can see it in his eyes He doesn’t want my soul He wants me to die Demon! Swallow your pill Try to drown him In your sin Pop another Chase it down Depression always wins Chorus A nightmare (a nightmare) to me I'm blinded by the curse that haunts my dreams A nightmare (a nightmare) to me I'm blinded by your sweet haunting melody Walk beside me Into to the flames he guides me You will not define me I cry and scream blindly This is not a nightmare I tremble in my bed I can hear him laughing I’m already dead

​Lullaby Chorus: I can't take much more, I’m lying on your bathroom floor, I’m screaming out to you. I’m tired of all these lies, I’ve wasted so many tears on you I can’t take much more When will all this end? When will this pain end? What have we come to?! You don’t see what I’ve given up for you. I'm giving up on you I can't live this life anymore Laid all I have on this floor Became a revolving door Spinning til I'm nothing more Chorus: I can't take much more, I’m lying on your bathroom floor, I’m screaming out to you. I’m tired of all these lies, I’ve wasted so many tears on you I can’t take much more When will all this end? When will this pain end? (x2)

Wasted 03:51
lyrics

​ Wasted I remember it vividly You took a knife to my sanity Pull me in, take me down. I can't ever get out. I fall deeper and deeper I don't think I could ever leave her But oh god does it hurt so much when I have to beg for love Do you think of me When you're away Do I cross your mind Do you feel shame Do you even care I'm left here waiting You'll hold the bottle tonight You're always wasted I'm not sorry, for being angry I'm not sorry, you can't blame me I'm not sorry, for being angry I'm not sorry, you don't love me Chorus This is killing me When you keep telling me That you’re gonna change As you drink away This is killing me Why can’t you fucking see You’re not gonna change As you drink away Always Put you first But I came in last Seems like those before me Don't even have to ask Crawling on my knees begging you to stay Look in my eyes Don't make me walk away Do you think of me When you're away Do I cross your mind Do you feel shame Do you even care I'm left here waiting You'll hold the bottle tonight You're always wasted I'm not sorry, for being angry I'm not sorry, you can't blame me I'm not sorry, for being angry I'm not sorry, you never loved me Go ahead down another You care for the bottle not your lover Go ahead drown your sins Little do you know they will swim Go ahead and take a drink You're not as perfect as you may think Go ahead and make a toast To the only goddamn thing you love most Lie. To. Me. Tell me what I need to hear Betray me How long will this last Refuse me You're never sober Forget me You're always wasted //////////// ​(Brandon) Waiting on nothing Feels like it’s something Can you hear it Can you feel it Darkness and depression Becomes my obsession Trapped like a demon Ready to plead again Therapy and waiting Isn’t entertaining Rather be myself how But pills are what I am now

Pills 04:14

Pills The pills the pills they don't do shit When I'm on the ground for the shit that you did The thrill the thrill of losing my life That's what she said on the night she died x2 Bleeding hands broken walls On the edge I'm ready to fall Open door empty bottles Soaked in apoison my heart is hollow Shoved to the side too many times This is normal this is my life Engulfed in the pain hurting inside You left me alone I lay here to die Chorus She tries to forget, what's happening As she tells herself it's alright She puts down her head and screams, "How could this happen to me?!" I'm falling into the light The pills the pills they don't do shit When I'm on the ground for the shit that you did The thrill the thrill of losing my life That's what she said on the night she died X2 Ripped sheets empty words All you want is to be heard Old scars open wounds I told them all it was too soon Hole in my heart knife in my spine You kept your heart and broke mine No remorse lack of faith You're the one who left in the first place Pull the trigger Do your worst Gun to my head I'll shoot first x2 Chorus She tries to forget, what's happening As she tells herself it's alright She puts down her head and screams, "How could this happen to me?!" I'm falling into the light

TDYWA the pain inside me cannot be fixed; another bottle down doesn’t do the trick another night alone staring at the phone I wish you would call But we both know you won’t i want you to cave I want to hear you say the things that made you fall In the first place this pain inside me cannot be fixed i would explain more but you’re just a bitch Chorus: If you speak my name, better watch your back, Things between us were never easy, but I gave you all I had. this pain inside me won’t be fixed it hasn’t changed And you’re still a bitch i wish you could say what made you walk away i have no closure just empty frames i drown myself late every night hiding from thoughts of you ill do it out of spite i didn’t want this And i didn’t expect it i just want to break this bad habit Chorus: If you speak my name, better watch your back, Things between us were never easy, but I gave you all I had. OH! Don’t tell me, that this is my fault I loved you Fucking loved you You never loved me You never loved me Fuck you! How could you betray me like that? I gave you everything That i had Take me for granted Take everything that I have You are a liar and a whore You are nothing more Nothing more (x3)

​Broken You want to know me so fucking badly But you just don’t seem to get I cannot be loved I cannot be known I am too bitter Im a broken man You claim you know me you claim you can understand who I am You think youre better but you are just as broken as I am Chorus You said you’ll never leave me Don’t fucking cheat me You fucking used me You said you never needed me Fuck you I wrote this song about you I tried so hard to be everything you wanted me to be But you were lost in yourself you never even needed me I’m lost in a world of anger I’m drowning, lost at sea I’m tired of getting attached to people that don’t give fuck about me I’m a broken shell of a man Trying to save myself Fall into these hands I’m drowning in pain I’m drowning myself Chorus You said you’ll never leave me Don’t fucking cheat me You fucking used me You said you never needed me Fuck you I wrote this song about you

Together We Stand 04:49

Together We Stand Together we stand against the heavy tides Motivated Against all we've been denied Held back by the ones who fed us lies Generation taught to hate cheat and despise Together We Stand against the hate we face We hate each other yet we are the same Given all we had for a dying name Preaching change yet all we do is shame Stuck in a cage with nowhere to go Will I keep it shut or should I try and grow Locked inside resenting those around me Little did I know I was the one with the key Will I save myself Or will I let them win Put me down ill punish myself But together we stand Chorus Get up get up Get ready to fight When the worst comes to show We will not go down and hide Get up get up Get ready to fight Together we stand Together we stand Together We fight those who broke us Together We stand by those who chose us Given all i had for a dying cause We are all the same we are not our flaws Together we stand on this stage In front of those who give us back our faith Together we ache for the broken We fight for you, the chosen Hate and put down what you can't understand How can you preach about what makes a man You think you're above me but you must know I will not be stopped I will continue to grow Will your save yourself Or will you continue to judge Put us down we punish ourselves But Together we stand We are the broken We have been chosen Left with nothing We Fight for something Chorus Get up get up Get ready to fight When the worst comes to show We will not go down and hide Get up get up Get ready to fight Together we stand Together we stand Together we will stand and fight Against the demons lurking in the night Sometimes broken but we won't fall We fight for us and for them all Together we can be stronger But only if we work together Separated by hatred and greed Open your eyes you need to see See the hate and the lies We will be our demise See the pain in our eyes We won't falter we won't die

Misery Business I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock It's a matter of time before we all run out When I thought he was mine, he caught her by the mouth I waited eight long months He finally set him free I told her I couldn't lie, she was the only one for me Two weeks and we had caught on fire He's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile Whoa, well I never meant to brag But I've gotten what I wanted now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now God does it feel so good 'Cause I got her where I want her now And if you could then you know you would 'Cause God it just feels so Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged I'm sorry honey, I passed out, now look this way Well there's a million other guys who do it just like you Looking as innocent as possible to get to who They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse! Whoa, well I never meant to brag But I've gotten what I wanted now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now God does it feel so good 'Cause I got her where I want her now And if you could then you know you would 'Cause God it just feels so I watched her wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving Whoa, well I never meant to brag But I've gotten what I wanted now Whoa, well I never meant to brag But I've gotten what I wanted now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now God does it feel so good 'Cause I got her where I want her now And if you could then you know you would 'Cause God it just feels so It just feels so good

about

“Broken” explores the depths of pain, depression, addiction and heart break as we have experienced it first-hand. With this album, the three of us have come together to write and express what we have gone through over the past few years to bring you our most powerful album yet. If anything, this should be considered our debut album as our past records have been just a warm-up.
