Backstabber 02:58
Let me tell you all about the accusations made By the one and only friend I thought was true but Let’s face it, we don’t owe each other shit And I quit this game we chase to play; I forfeit, don’t commit to these falsely acquitted hypocrites. You are my downfall. Nothing can pass me by, but you have just crossed the line And I will take any chance I get to not be out shined. I know that you lied through your teeth, and I know what’s underneath That smirk on your face, I just want to rip it out! Take my heart but please don’t take my mind, You’re bathed in sin and also blind. I can’t believe I used to call you a friend. This is the end, please don’t pretend That you lost me cause I won’t mend The stab wounds in both our fucking backs! You’ve seen me at my worst, but you sure know how to curse A man’s intentions, cause what we had now lays in a hearse. Don’t look at me and deny that what you said was no lie. I know you better than that, there is no doubt. Take my heart but please don’t take my mind, You’re bathed in sin and also blind. I can’t believe I used to call you a friend. This is the end, please don’t pretend That you lost me cause I won’t mend The stab wounds in both our fucking backs! Take my heart but please don’t take my mind, You’re bathed in sin and all so blind. I can’t believe I used to call you a friend. This is the end, please don’t pretend That you lost me cause I won’t mend The stab wounds in both our fucking backs!

It’s been years or weeks since I’ve seen you last And I’m trying hard to forget the past when it’s my time To shine. You told me that you never loved me, You fuckin lied, I know you better than I knew me and it’s okay, Maybe... I thought we could just stay friends, but even those come to an end. Believe me when I say: our love was all for history. People come and go but you were something special You didn’t have to be so damn ungrateful and I know you, You were true. I know that I lied too I’m an absolute moron, I’m young and dumb, that’s all I have to go on and we’re done And I thought you were the one. I thought we could just stay friends, but even those come to an end. Believe me when I say: our love was all for history. It’s been three whole months and I’ve finally moved on I’m still alone and I feel I’ve won but then I saw you Right on cue I thought we could just stay friends, but even those come to an end. Believe me when I say: our love was all for history. I thought we could just stay friends, but even those come to an end. Believe me when I say: our love was all for history.

It seems like every song I write persistently resembles Something you may have heard before, consider this a rental. The chemistry wired right in my brain sends signals of false pain Geared right on these feelings where I obtain no gain. This insignificance had made me realize... We're coming down, we're selling out, I can't believe this is happening to me. I've figured out what it's all about This life has been quite the mystery. Yeah Be prepared to lose your sense of self, is it confidence we lack? There's a consequence to competence, be prepared for this flashback. I wanna see you all on your knees, please, don't you know I only tease? We usually don't always get what we want, knowing this has put me at ease. Why do I feel so insignificant? We're coming down, we're selling out, I can't believe this is happening to me. I've figured out what it's all about This life has been quite the mystery And there's no telling what will come next, This shit seems to be way too complex, but We're coming down, we're selling out, no more insignificance. The world is mine, I think I'll unwind My way back to the top, don't know if I'll ever stop Counting days til it turns into one giant burn. Now let's give it everything that we've got. We're coming down, we're selling out, I can't believe this is happening to me. I've figured out what it's all about This life has been quite the mystery. We're coming down, we're selling out, I can't believe this is happening to me. I've figured out what it's all about This life has been quite the mystery And there's no telling what will come next, This shit seems to be way too complex, but We're coming down, we're selling out, no more insignificance.

The Wolf 05:18
Hey, don’t you know I’m here to stay for a while. Your mind is choking on this provoking melody, yeah. And you can’t run away, so just come out to play with me. In order to lead this pack you contemplated on breaking, You need to restore the good, you know you should listen to me. Your heart is now racing, you know you should be embracing These words. Hold on, you know this isn’t the last time that you Thought life was too much. We need you to be the Leader, with a big heart, tear this apart Cause you’re the wolf. Wait. don’t you know you’re on the way to the top. You must assert your power, it’s the hour that’ll change your life. You know you gotta fight, it’s life or death tonight, let’s see If you can. So hold on, you know this isn’t the last time that you Thought life was too much. We need you to be the Leader, with a big heart, tear this apart Cause you’re the wolf. I’ve lost my voice trying to tell you that It’s all lie, So let me try to coax you through this, But oh, I will get you high.... The reason you fight so much is cause the world has it's back turned against ours, I'm sorry you don't like the outcome but just hold on. Hold on, you know this isn’t the last time that you Thought life was too much. We need you to be the Leader, with a big heart, tear this apart Cause you’re the wolf. You're the wolf!

Take it back, throw away all the shame Sit down, relax you aren’t the one to blame This is a standoff, take no prisoners Guess it’s every man for himself It’s a one way story And we’ve reached the climax Oh, a distant light ignites and paralyzes these demons wearing disguises. When the smoke clears We find out that there’s nowhere to hide From all our past mistakes And our fears and that is how you grow from inside. This isn't what you want, it's what you need. Take a good look in the mirror Tell me what you see And what you believe. A pouring rain, it melts the pain and keeps me from going insane. When the smoke clears We find out that there’s nowhere to hide From all our past mistakes And our fears and that is how you grow from inside. CLEAR When the smoke clears We find out that there’s nowhere to hide From all our past mistakes And our fears and that is how you grow from inside, Grow from inside, And that is how you grow from inside...
