Hiding away
Avoiding society
Can't face the world
A reclusive entity
I put on a façade when I go out
My shyness masked by intoxicants

Darkness spreads across the land
Seated upon it's throne
Terror in civilian hearts
And panic in their bones
Fly you fools
The end is near
Steel yourselves
Death is here
From towers in the poisoned lands
The orders are given
Ash falls from forsaken skies
And smoke fills our lungs
Fly you fools
The end is near
Steel yourselves
Death is here
Fly you fools
The end is near

Falling to my death
(breathe in, breathe out)
Fighting for my life
(breathe in, breathe out)
I'm still here
(breathe in, breathe out)
Change is in the air
I've changed myself, I've changed my name
No longer will I feel ashamed
The weight of your shadow's gone
This is who I a really am
Doom is near
Kill your fears

In the van with my mom every Sunday morning
Bible on the dashboard, John 3:16 bumper sticker
I learned to care about people and help those in need
And not immediately condemn others with different beliefs
Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
But you've got "God hates fags" on display
And I'm not sure how that's not hypocrisy
Thoughts and prayers for the starving children
But don't you dare tax their millions
Give a man a fish and he won't get a job
These things are best left in the hands of God
The Lord works in mysterious ways
Delegating since the seventh day
I don't claim to know if god exists
I'm a mid-Ohio bred corn communist

Betrayed, deceived, let down, treachery
Stabbed in the back
Who can I trust?
A personal attack
I feel so fucking lost
I want to escape from this god damn place
I've lost my faith in humanity
Betrayal has rattled me to the core
I don't know what to do anymore
A slap across the face
The word resounds again
A memory I can't erase
Betrayed
I want to escape from this god damn place
I've lost my faith in humanity
Betrayal has rattled me to the core
I don't know what to do anymore
I must press on to my doom
With or without you

Hopeless
Weary
Wasting
Fucked up
Til the day we die
Day we die
Think, drink, think, suicide
No smoke weed die inside

Opeing Mechanisms
03:18

|
I hate myself more than I hate anyone else
And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself
'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me
Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing
Drink, forget, this nightmare that we live in
Smoke away, the pain that you feel everyday
Pop a pill, neglect everything you feel
Rail the line, pretend everything is fine
No amount of alcohol can end the pain
There's not enough drugs to end the suffering
People are starving, living without homes
While men in uniforms flaunt their guns
There's kids in cages, there's death in the streets
And you say these murderers protect the weak
Revolution will not come
If we're sitting in our rooms
When your votes stop changing things
How will you cope with all the dead human beings?
I hate myself more than I hate anyone else
And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself
'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me
Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing

Pain After Pain
by At the Graves
The latest from this one-man sludge metal project from Baltimore is discordant, spacious, and as heavy as a full group could ever be.
