He fell from grace (discharged, ashamed) the right hand gave way for the left He was just a kid, trying to make his own image. Black wings take flight from beneath. He, will, be, the one who's inside You, will, see, on nights when you can't Sleep, comes, last, whispered fears take shape His hunt takes place between the weak and faithless ground in his path he will remain He hides behind (half truths, half lies) those veneers of his are pearly white He, will, be, the one who's inside You, will, see, on nights when you can't Sleep, comes, last, whispered fears take shape Forget your scratchy insides He came for you? He came for me too Some would call it anger call it anger when they cast him out and some would call it fear call it fear when they cast him out Leave the exorcise for the priests they just need a name to make you weak What's your name? It's the only escape.

Hides 03:10
Your attention please This council is called to court Gentleman take your seats The motion has passed, let the sharpening of fangs commence By a show of hands, who wants to be the first to attack? Eating your kin is hard but in a pack it's dominance that wins By paws or claws can we settle this as friends? By paws or claws can we settle this as friends? The hole on our throats sing only the softest of notes but the shards in our mouths that's when the animals come out We are the most vicious of politicians Sweetly eating from each others dishes Our suits and ties are tailored to fit us just right but we hide behind yellowed eyes even though there equipped for the night We sense the domestication (and we don't like it) Sell his hide at market price We won't even see it coming He'll be the one with the gun, he's hunting. Rifle (bang bang) The only blood that I've tasted lately is from the tongue that's in my own mouth Spit it back out, the blood in my mouth We've become the worst versions of ourselves We've become the worst versions of ourselves. Sheep to wolves or wolves to sheep? Sheep to wolves or wolves to sheep? Skin us alive by pale moonlight Stitch it together, it's a perfect disguise Does it fit right?

Etiquette 02:18
Our host is slightly incapacitated for taking in new guests Pay no mind come inside we'll take care of the rest This is not your mothers tea party But mind your manners in good company There's a good chance we'll offend your delicate sensibilities Never mind the back door unless you want back door dealings A deal can be struck but not without some trust Spit, and shake Or! We'll sign the contract in blood You expect a certain sense of quality I get it white walls and cubicles is not what you'll find in this facility Watch out for the man behind the desk He'll promise you his heart from his chest Words should be worth their weight in gold Or so I've been told A man can be bought for the price of hope, and so the story goes...

Snap & Bite 04:17
This, this is for us, this is for all of us But, wait, there's no food on his plate Come, take, it's ok that your late We've been , waiting, for you for days Don't worry your seat us been saved It would be my pleasure to walk you down to the shore line We can wade together, but it's up to you to float It's time for, the execution of youth Stand tall at the firing wall Ready aim fire! Ready aim fire! Fear is every mans portion so stuff your mouths till your bellies are full We're so full They eat the flesh, from the dead and stockpile their excrement But, it's, to low on their till Full, speed, home deliveries Packed up, shipped out to cities in boxes Get the crowbars, liberate the corpses Come up, come up, come up from underground or no peace, no peace, no peace can be found Dig yourself out! Come up from underground or no peace can be found.

Shit Kicker 03:46
So it's told in the stories of old that when whiskeys involved the story never gets old Peel back the label and show me the proof It's 100 percent I'm gonna die with the truth Hear the thunder? Forget the sun Hear the thunder? You're on the run Tires skid around every turn it's out of control, you're out of control There's no chance of me walking out of this The car crash is too fucking serious Stop signs and cut break lines looks like the ambulance won't, won't get us there in time Ohh and the towns people gather Around your hospital bed With pitchforks and torches, for the lies that you've said And the whole room went quiet with the silence of death As the onlookers waited to get what they deserved Sheriff kicks in the door and says "stop. Justice must be served" To the courts! To the courts! You've been brought forth to the light exposed for what you are Jury's got the verdict in hand Hung by dawn!

Fish Hook 03:10
Don't forget to grin Cold streets, shots fired Let the cannons belch out their fire Women's bodies are thrown in the streets The new borns off the pyre, in fear of doing the right thing I'll be the voice for the wasted and dead Find warmth through this in me You better keep a tight head cause there's a lot you should see If you don't feel safe you better get out of here Just remember it's a lesson grit your teeth and count your blessings if you've got a fucking problem raise your fists until you've got them choke them out until they're blue and drop them dead in front of you and don't forget to (don't forget to) Don't forget to grin What'ed you say? What'ed you say that made him change his ways? And the old man he whispered and leaned in and said just a little chat just a chat amongst men just a little chat between men who despise just a little chat that made him open his eyes Sing praise sing praise sing praise to the drunkard on the bench For he will be the teacher we all need Sing praise, sing praise, sing praise to the addict in the street For he will be the one who will stand up and lead.
