For Peace Of Mind, I Anxiously Decay

1.	Vanity Plea 03:28	lyrics
Weighed you down to live by my name Retreat deep into the hole from which I came Saving myself by saving face Refuge has called upon my disgrace Scorned for the fate that I've been given Pure from brittle bones to vicious skin Break the glass, drain the sands of time Separate my body from my mind Push forth the needle past my eye Shut me out when sanity abates Cut me loose into the void For peace of mind, I anxiously decay
2.	Gutterbrain 02:40	lyrics
Starving to death Hungry for more, I choke on my words Torn apart at the seams Let my thoughts flow, let my feelings seep Drain me out from the core Leave a hollow heart for the wolves to feed It's my blood on the streets Running red as my hand when I was caught in defeat Coming to the conclusion Of self-induced delusion In defense to the pain, it was time for a change Another side of me has taken the reign Face first, I fell to the dirt I fell far from the ledge that kept me sane Face first, I fell to the dirt Now I have no heart, just a gutterbrain
3.	Behind Closed Doors 02:59	lyrics
I know the mouth of a liar And I am so sick and tired Pouring at the mouth, drench your chest in desire I killed it with fire Drowned out, shot down by a common disease Thought pattern molded by society Blind to the eyes behind closed doors Cross my heart, swear to god, you're gonna get yours Strike a match with an ill intent I have not been graced by your presence yet You have the right to speak, I have the right to doubt This pain lasts way past when the flame burns out Blind to the eyes filled with concern Wash the blood from my hands and let it burn
4.	Dead In My Eyes 03:01	lyrics
I sought the truth Your tongued burned with lies Hidden in plain view You're dead in my eyes Shed the dead skin form my back Scars form from every lash I saw my conscience begin to weep These wounds will only stay skin deep The gavel strikes with lawless force I possess the moment that once was yours I cast it out, I strike you down I couldn't dream of a better way to put you in the ground On solid ground, I thought I was ready I tried to break but your hand was too heavy Human trash to take out but I have to wait I refuse to live by your mistakes
5.	Serpentine 03:27	lyrics
Devoid of expression when I wake My thoughts are poison from the mouth of the snake Sink into me, serpentine My mind corrupt, my swollen veins My crimson eyes, my need to bleed I am at Eden's mercy Slithering slow Burn the world as I go There's a glow in the devil's eyes It captivates, eviscerates Liberates me from pain The serpent's tongue caresses my lips The venom drips Slither in and set me free Veins run low Like rivers, my blood flows
