To justify living a lie
In the overwhelming trenches of addiction doesn’t suffice
For all the time we wasted together
Trying to fix one another
We were birds of a feather
So go on and snort another white line for me baby
Show me what you think that I’m worth
For I feel like i’m going goddamn crazy
But you’re too numb to understand the way it hurts
All I wanted was for you to get clean
I didn’t realize sobriety was such a dangerous thing
You have to learn to pick yourself off the floor
And break away from the allure that you seem to adore
I am giving it all up and for once I don’t give a fuck
I’ve been broken down too many times in my life
If you’re not willing to sacrifice there’s nothing left for me to do but walk way and let you do you
It’s your own life to lose
When one door opens
The other fades to black
The greatest gift you ever gave
Was a knife in my back
It’s all so simple
I am the falling tide
You are the impulse
The ocean come alive(x2)

Holy War

Breaking free from the chains that bound me
An illusion we have all been told
Of our souls passing through the gates of pearl
While we walk along streets of gold
An ancient fallacy of eternity
Written in blood on Dead Sea scrolls
From the depths of your pulpit
You teach the word of your fictitious Lord
Though shall not kill is your commandment
Yet you stack bodies in your Holy War(x2)
You preach to me from a bended knee
Of an all inspiring entity
A celestial being of serenity
The judge & jury executing those who don't believe
Don’t speak to me in your tainted tongues
With a sheep mystique about a man who hung
From a wooden cross wearing a crown of thorns
Nails through his hands, an enemy was born
The blood is on your hands
In the name of a dead man (x4)
Breaking free from the chains that bound me
An illusion we have all been sold
Of our souls passing through the gates of pearl
As we walk along streets of gold
An ancient fallacy of eternity
Written in blood on Dead Sea scrolls
The truth now lies amongst the masses
We must break
We must break the stranglehold
