Scorpinox It's just as good as Burden. Before You Leave is somehow both perfectly brutal and perfectly sad at the same time and I'm in love. Favorite track: Before You Leave.

Empty Eyes 01:54
Empty eyes harbor rivers of tears  Formed from the endless nights of loathing screaming crying out for someone to hear   Sink into the sheets  Drown inside the bed  Doubt's a bird of prey  That nests inside my head  Move So what's the point of praying if the voices say I'm fine?   Tell me what's the point of running if i can't escape my mind?  The mouth of God was sewn shut  Or I've been living as a deaf man  I've drowned him out  The mouth of God was sewn shut

Livid 03:53
You’ve got it all backwards,  And upside down Don’t see a problem when a youth is lying face down In a puddle of blood, a concrete cemetery (cemetery) I’ve wondered, I’ve pondered what he could have been thinking,  Before they filled his back with lead A deadly portrait was painted, black and blue with a splash of red Livid  You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it  So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth  You’re finished  Last round, knocked down, lights out  Good riddance  God knows i'm livid  Hands up if you wanna catch a bullet,  Get on the ground, get on the ground and  Beg for your life (beg for your life) No peace, no truth No shame, aim and shoot No rights, no apologies  Dead to rights,  born to bleed Break the oath you swore,  If I'm the bull, you’re the matador With blood on your hands and fear in your heart,  I swear I'll rip you apart    We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye Livid  You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it  So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth  You’re finished  Last round, knocked down, lights out  Good riddance  God knows i'm livid  (No use in seeking justice It always ends up the same)  No use in seeking justice It always ends up the same (No justice, no justice)  The odds are stacked against the victim,  Always taking the blame No one’s perfect,  But you’re far from innocent Live life colorblind,  Or reap the consequence:  Hell on earth.  Livid  Livid  With blood on your hands and fear in your heart,  I swear I'll rip you apart.

Wormtongue 03:44
Let go  Dropped from the highest of heights by the ones I trusted the most  Where do you go when you surrender your soul and it’s torn to pieces?  So cold  The hate that you hold, shown through slanderous words  Always under attack, knife in my back, and you watch as I bleed, fading slowly    Spin your web of lies,  Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate  Can anyone hear me? I’m down below  Cast into the unknown I apologize,  For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one  Who holds the blame  Yet you curse my name Putrid filth falls from your mouth as others lay in wait, accepting their rations  The rumors, the hearsay spread like wildfire  Wormtongue, spare me the kiss of betrayal, do what you came for (Matt. 26:50)  Hoping one day to see my downfall I see a wolf dressed up in sheepskin;  Waiting for the sun to set before it closes in;  The coward dares to wear a crown;  Tell me to kneel but I won’t bow down  Spin your web of lies,  Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate  Can anyone hear me? I’m down below  Cast into the unknown I apologize,  For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one  Who holds the blame  Yet you curse my name Wormtongue Your kingdom will rot

Tell me are you happy now  Watching this house that we built together burn to the ground?  Dance in the ashes of my casket,  Spill my blood on the floor,  Dwell in the rafters of my home,  But leave your heart at the door Her drug, my medicine  Get addicted, ripped to shreds, and swallowed whole  The comedown is heavy, weighs down on my back Wallow in the wake of years lost So much time wasted on a better self How can I be better without any help?  Embrace the dark  Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence  The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you. The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like  The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like  Stay with me a little longer,  Before you leave, spend some time at the bottom with me Brooding by moonlight While I shiver in the cold  Alone.  My body responds to the weather,  My dread for each day grows and grows If I smile, knock all my teeth out, because I’m faking it Yeah it feels like I’m falling,  But I've already hit the floor Your body is my temple,  My sin that I’ll answer for Push and pull, yes and no,  Tooth to flesh, nail to bone You undress, I unfold Embrace the dark,  Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence  The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you  Dance upon my ashes  Dance upon my ashes  Your burden no longer Erase me as I have erased you.  l’ll find better weather with somebody new
