- Bloody Poetry
I guess it started when the lights went out
and everybody started running round in circles tryin to figure it out
I could feel it
wedged in my ribs it felt freezin
as my cold air blew out
dance through the evening, paranormal
slowly being called to the green
where the ghosts gather nightly and sell the devil their dreams, i observe
- Dead in the Water
Chorus(x2)
What did you want from me? You're knockin' on doors tryin' to wake up the beast. Head full of thorns, you wanna settle the score, you wanna level the board. You wanna level me down.
I find it funny how your heart don't work, and that tattooed diamond on your chest spells hurt. How predictable. Just another shark in the bloodstream. Swimmin' its way upstream to figure out where love sleeps and kill it like it must be stopped. I don't see the reason in your logic, I just understand the plot, and if I don't find it outta here I swear to God I'll pop from the needles you've been stickin' in me tryin' to throw me off when I fly straight. Just another meal for the vultures, picked into pieces and buried under the boulders. Until the last cracked molar is found, I'm just a victim with the soul torn out of him and shot to the ground, without the glory. Broken and that's the way that you like it with the war horns fired up, stimulating excitement and I can see why the devil put you in ranks but should have asked you what you wanted before you flashed me the fangs, you've got a problem.
Chorus(x2)

- Falling From You
And in come the strings,
playing my patience like a note that I never had the guts to sing
I've been living with your lies 'cause my life don't feel quite right unless I'm swelling from the honeybee sting
And look at what you bring me, girl
Nothing but drama, holding on strong to making me feel your woes
How long can we go until we're nothing but a pile of bones?
Stand tall in the cold, right?
You tell me that it's over,
- growing pains
[Verse 1: Grieves]
I take a breath and breathe it out
Life has been a bitch holding onto me, I'm always freaking out
I don't play well with others, I panic in a crowd
And I'm quick to fall in love, that's why I'm always on the ground
So pick it up
Pop the umbrella over my problems
- He Won't Answer
Another night in this black water rain cloud
Kickin through the puddles on his way up to the Greyhound and,
In his pocket is a letter from his mother, folded up sayin...
(Where have you beeen?)
Yeah, but he won't write back
Left his whole life on the nightstand
Open up his wounds and let em bleed onto the white sand
And you can label him another problem typecast
- Heartbreak Hotel
Broken all by myself say/
Women don't pay don't mind/
Forgotten like a hotel Bible/
Phone keeps ringing and I'm trying to keep my mind off it/
And if you walk by my window/
I won't open u the blinds to watch you/
Walk like you didn't know I was inside still praying for the day this be easy/
Heard you doing fine on the outside/
- Lightspeed
Born blind in the winter with an empty head
The snow covered up the Camry the whole house slept
Drawing pictures in the bed
Waking up and racing down the stairs trying to catch my breath
It's so simple, superman, trick or treat, wet socks
Bike rides in the summer to the best spots
Coulda sworn I was king of the best odds
Runnin round with the dogs in the back yard
- Nature vs. Nurture
I've been looking for that shadow that's inside of me for quite some time
Sunk my teeth into life, as a young man blind
But never regret the process or regret time
Just wish I could have helped the three of us and breach that line
Like how the hell was I supposed to know?
It's a symbiotic circle that we all helped grow
And when it all fell through
Yeah we all sunk in the same lake
- October In The Graveyard
Take that devil out your head, lay your skeletons to rest
Bed of roses where you lay it down definitely
Those words cross your headstone
I'll pray for the moment you awake
Mighty is the bitter blade, crimson beaded water falling out of your grave
Another dusty record plays, dancing by yourself in the blue shade
And I've done dug a lot of graves to uncover your bones and release you from the dark
- On the Rocks
I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books
I don’t spend my money on the last girl honey
Cus she hates my guts.
I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry
And all this shit keeps piling up and trying to hang me.
I Give my love in on the run, on the run, on the run
So don’t you try to slow me down and walk around yeah
Sick of trying to strum along with your love song
- Pressure Cracks
I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe on the job site
with a fist full of bridle sand
should of seen it coming a mile away from that little hill in which I'm making a stand on
it makes a man of me (doesn't it)
and if it never kills me then I get it pass
wish I coulda open up the air around me just a little bit so I can take a gasp
who the hell is watchin,
put a notch in
- Scar Gardens
lay another one to rest in the valley of my shaddows opened up
burry all my expectations for a semi normal love
and with it burning in my palms
and massaging into my blood
i try to fight away my urges
"it’s only gonna rope you up girl!"
hear me, i know my capabilities
of breaking in the the only thing that saves you from you feelings of trust
- Shreds
[Verse 1:]
I don't believe in cuttin' corners
Own it like a scar on the face
Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place
Not really the one to give God praise
But if you've got the gospel, then tell me how it tastes, halleluiah
Bitin' on the bullet for strength
I'm a long distance runner sucker, I'm in it for length
- Sunny Side Of Hell
(Intro)
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone and the bright days are here and my sunny side shines
(Verse 1)
Come on man, not your same old shit
I’ve been living steady wobbling on the edge
- Unedible
Grieves - Unedible
take a look at my life
take a look at my love
take a look at my soul
baby you cant save me
and you don’t know
that there’s an empty pot to piss in at the end of the road
- Vice Grip
[Verse 1]
Look at what the cat dragged in, still breathing last night's air
Hand shaking cause the vice never fights fair
And you're relating cause you struggle with the same shit
And wrote the threat of addiction off with the same sip
Drowning, holding on to anything and everything around me,
Staring down the barrel of a browning
Scowering, looking for any chance that allows me
