2.	The Downward Spiral (feat. Tom Williams) 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Throw your coin into the well Listen for your death bell Face the truth you march towards your downfall And I’ve got so many ways to show your faults and flaws they’re endless Truths laid bare will break the surface and leave your life senseless Believe your hype, condemned to die Every word from your mouth is a lie Destroy the weak, it’s looking bleak The downward spiral now you’ve hit your peak I know you better now, I’m gonna call you out For the mistakes you’ve blamed on others since you took your vow The strength you held inside, is all used up and dry The shadow of the person in the dirt who used to fly No time any more, I will close the door On this chapter of my life happier than before I guess that I should be, thanking you seriously I put my hatred into everything I do Smash your fists up against the wall You lack the strength you’ll be the first to fall I wont let myself become your victim I’ll shake your shadow, I was so addicted Your form was suffering I’ll start recovering I know this wont be the last time that you use your control Have pity for the next one when you take their soul I will wipe you from my memory Escaping your pull of gravity Lie in the bed you’ve made You’ve come to your end of days Betrayed by the game you play No redemption can’t find a way I create my own destiny Won’t let you get the best of me Living with this painful memory In this house built on treachery I wish to set myself free
3.	No Progress 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Break the bars that separate Who you are from the world that you hate It's time for you to decide how to live your life Do you follow the tracks they've laid Though they'll lead you straight to your grave Evict the fear that haunts your mind Persevere it's hard to find No-one owes you anything You'll have to work to see those bastards swing Don't hold back keep it moving Don't ever be content with losing There's nothing worse than a life that's wasted You can try to shake the feeling that they're watching you But the fact remains that you'll be judged by what you do No progress until the heart and mind is unified No progress until you fight the demons that you hold inside Now’s the time for you to realise and take the steps to break it through Kill the part of you that says you cant survive Or spend your lifetime being buried alive Don't be manipulated by the powers over you Expose the lies that permeate from everything they do Fight back against oppressors there’s no time to deviate Form your own opinion open up and disagree Advocate mutual destruction No time for any obstruction Let anger flow from you seething Hit back and leave their world bleeding You're born a liar you'll die a snake The air poisoned by each breath you take You've watched us suffer for far too long From your pedestal, I'll watch you fall All will fall before the cleansing flame A new world born from the disarray
4.	Endless Power 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Follow the masses that prey on your darkest fears Purveyors of fiction for over 2000 years Minds full of sadness this madness will harvest here Spreading delusion the church is the profiteer The god you thought you knew, is preying back on you The people you respect, have fingers round your neck They exert their pressure forcing you To believe in what they want you to Mass hysteria in full effect Endless power that was left unchecked Recite the verse find your comfort in The thought that you are living free from sin But in truth your judgement will exceed The pain your god gives to those suffering Recklessly promising a fantasy The world does not work like the way you see Opinions don’t become fact Retreat when your viewpoint’s attacked Benevolent master happy ever after, can’t you tell your logic is cracked Teachings are only obscene Lunatics living a dream Your facts stay unproven there’s no cure for stupid, and death is the only vaccine Morality only exists Because you hope your punishments’ missed Living live prejudiced no excuse definite, gone when the proof contradicts Tell me why you still believe The fabrications they weave You know all the evidence your gods irrelevant, truth is you’re being deceived. How can you Judge others when Your scriptures are designed to Hide evil within There’s only one devil here Bow down to your puppeteer Go destroy all faith It’s a fucking waste Wipe out their misery To respect all life is the only path to righteousness
5.	Solitude 03:02	lyrics	buy track
I wish I could hold myself together for even a day I’ve got so many things building up and I’m trying to get away If only I could muster up the courage and find the words to say I’ve been separating all the negative thoughts that are in my way And I’ve been looking back into my past To try and find the season in which you gave me reason I remember all those times we had when we were seventeen and it seemed like The world stopped turning But that was false and now I’ve realised that I am better of on my own I’m older but I’m still learning I had to break out of our curse and that’s the reason for my stunted progression I’ve learned my lesson Maybe now I’ve come across a space and time that I can be myself I’ll make the most of every second When my world turns black I’ll just remember that I stayed on track I used to spend my time wishing life away Until I had to start living life again I used to hide away in the depth of my despair Until I realised that I’m the one who put myself there Gaping darkness draping weights over my head Mouth was dry from the words that I left unsaid If I could go back and give myself a piece of advice I wouldn’t look for more sometimes solitude will suffice I just want to be comfortable in my skin And fill the hole where my demons have been
6.	Full of Regret 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I’m standing over the precipice Looking down into the endless abyss A writhing mass claws at the corners of my mind I’m beckoned down down at your insistence all the time I remember every word that I ever spoke I played them over in my head until my voice was broke You say that you’re the same but you’ve forgotten my name My life has spiralled downwards you’re the one who’s to blame First I thought I’d worked you out I’d made up my mind But your eyes betray the truth that they’ve been holding behind You learned to pull my strings I just want to forget About the person who filled my life with regret You are my punishment, you are my sin But I won’t repent for my hatred I’m falling faster now, approaching the gates Where my demons will decide my fate My life passed through my hands like smoke Carried by the winds that your voice provoked I ask myself the question why did I try When the months feel like the moments that are passing me by No shame in admitting defeat When I’m falling down towards the hands that will greet Drag me under drown me alive Save me from the feeling of living deprived Forced to learn through doubt and fear That the person who betrays me is the one who’s most near I hope you’re happy with what you’ve done The descent into madness has only just begun Swallowed by darkness fighting to breathe Hands around my throat no chance to leave Feet feel bound in chains hands weighed down Place me inside my box six feet underground You are my punishment, you are my sin But I won’t repent for my hatred
7.	The Rules (feat. Tim Louth) 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Do you ever get the feeling like you’re wasting away Just going through the motions almost every day Lost your purpose lost in time Lost all meaning just like I’ve lost mine I won’t live up to your standards I won’t follow your rules There has to be a better way than this I’ll shed the weight of everything that I wouldn’t miss I’m sorry but I can’t be the person that you’ve always wanted from me I didn’t mean to let you down But I’ve built myself up my mind is coming around It never crossed my mind to think for myself that way Now I think I’m moving on But it’s difficult to tell This recovery is long From my hell Try as you might you wont take me back To that miserable place where confidence lacked Spread all your lies I have no doubt I will be righteous when your judgement comes about Break your chains Your veins pour my hatred across the stone Your life is worthless humanity is overgrown I consume the sense of fear coming from your soul You can try to drag me down I’ll be standing whole You’ve got nowhere to hide when I hit the street If you want to step up to me then pussy take a seat All you do is talk shit about each other I’ll come out swinging on all you mother fuckers
