Knocked Loose - Laugh Tracks Album Lyrics

One by one
Rooted from a place of intolerance
I won't cater to a coward
That hides behind a fraternity
Just so he can feel empowered

Institutions supporting murder
No, I won't support it
But the pressure
I feel the pressure to be like you

Forced into a life of repentance
Searching out for a cure
Made to believe that acceptance
Is all that were looking for
Is what we need

Oblivion's Peak

But in the end
When it's your turn to be judged
You'll get what you f*cking deserve
You son of a bitch

One by one
Oblivion's peak

I have dreams
Of dancing with the dead
But my feet won't keep the tempo
A circus of ants
My feet won't follow suit

Yeah

Wish I could be like them
In God's hands, there's freedom
But happiness comes with a price
'Cause there's always two things going on
There's always Friday night

My tombstone was made at birth
My coffin is on my back

Wrapped in chains, I carry burdens
Dressed in tarnished rags
Wrapped in chains

Wish I could be like them
Wish I could get away with murder
Wish I could get away with it all
It's their turn to watch me
And I pray (I pray)
I pray that when I fall (I fall)
I hit the ground hard enough to kill me

I always watch the mountains
As they look down on storms
Deadringer

Watch me, motherf*cker

Deadringer

You always found
You always found your escape

I was fighting for love
A love you abandoned
Turned your back on heavens gates
Became blind to the end that awaits
And I can't pretend
That we're born with a destination
The end will find me

Full eclipse
Fade to black
Heaven sent
The end attacks
Running from the only promise made
I'm still counting down the f*cking days

Abandon
Abandoned

And you can try to make things up
But lost time was just way too much
A sentenced revoked from choices you've made
You've taken your chances
You won't be saved

The sky rains tonight
Pick your f*cking side
And rain brings fear
The end is tonight

The rain brings fear
And it burns my skin
You always found your way out
There's no escaping this
The sky rains eternal
And it burns my skin

Nothing changes
But the weather
You just think that you got better
Time doesn't heal
It scabs the wound
I won't cover
Cover my scars for you
I won't cover my scars for you

Victim of deceit
Weighed down by your heavy hand
A constant battle
Between who you want
And who I am
I'll see you at the f*cking cross roads
I'll make you bite through your tongue
When you see who I am today
I'll make you hate what you've done

Cover your tracks
Let revenge flood
You've made your mark
Blood will have blood

Idiot

I wrote a song about getting better
It's a feeling I can't remember

Arf, arf

Counting worms

I dwell above the sea of flames

I dwell
Above the sea of flames
Waiting for the moment
When my harness breaks
And I burn
Burn like my idols
Nothing is pure
No nothing at all

Reality hurts
My demons stripped from the earth
Connected by flesh
That I'm not comfortable in
It wasn't me but it should've been

I lost a stranger
And my heart is crushed

No longer blind
To deaths cold touch
No longer hurt
Just scared to burn
Like the rest

All my heroes went to hell

Maybe I'm the one who's so full of shit

Point the finger
Reject the blame
Dig deep in a heart that breaks
No spine to be found
Pick me up from the ground
Maybe I'm the one who's so full of shit
Point the finger
Reject the blame
All my friends who have wasted their lives
We are one in the same
I was too quick to judge
We're all alone in this

I put the drugs in between us
I told myself that it changed you
But I'm the one who changed

Point the finger
Reject the blame
I call out for help
But I'll never call your f*cking name
Anguish

I did away with the poison
But I still feel like I'm dying

Master of pain
Swinging his chains
An endless tyrant
Agony in vein

Let me out
Make me bleed
Master of pain
I surrender all I have
To the ones above me
And I won't let them see me

I've accepted my last defeat
And I won't let them see me

This is the end of all things fair
The year of heartache
The season of despair

My last words

No handouts
No thanks
No strength to burn my bridges

Sentenced life in hell
I've been ashamed all my life
But I have never felt like this
I put myself in my grave
And the dirt is spilling in
I need answers
To the questions
That I've never had the words to ask
To embarrassed to ask for help
But to slow to run from my past

So I'm left with the pain I feel
Sentenced a life in hell

You may see me
I may look different
The stress has weighed on my bones
And I can't fix it

Time has passed
I still feel the same
No handouts
No thanks
No strength to burn my bridges
Down

Flesh and bone
Hollow chest
Your curse I live
You follow
You haunt
The burden of your skin

And I need your blood
A fetish
And I need your blood
On swift wings death will come
And I can almost f*cking taste it
I crave your end
A reality you deserve
Brought by my hand

And it wouldn't be the same
If it wasn't me to pull the trigger
And my eyes roll back
As your spirit leaves

I'll take your hand
Guide you to the end
Your time has come

Now your spirit leaves

What can happen will
And I've fallen again
Too afraid to pull the plug
But sick of waiting for the end

And I've never been more concerned
With the things that I'm told to say
I try to force emotion
But my feelings waste away
So I'm stuck alone in this world
Uncomfortable in my skin
Shattered glass cannot be fixed
I will never be normal again

Laughing at my pain
No footprint
No stamp
No voice
Nothing to say
Laughing at my pain
No footprint
No stamp
I waste away

You were given the choice
To be a face but never a voice
To put everything you have
Into something they will never grasp

I destroy myself
In one ear and out the other
No room for my real mistakes
Nothing meaningful to blow my cover

All together now
All together now

Forget my words
Fall back in line
Do what you're told

Fall in line
Erase my soul
