Vices (Intro)

And here we fuckin' go again
Same old vices
Same old sins
Said it'd be different this time
Still looking for
Peace of mind

Why the fuck have
I struggled all my fucking life
To understand what lies behind
The tears, the fears
All these fucking years
Existential dread always is near
Pull me lower into hell
I'll enjoy it for awhile
Hit the bottom again
Just to feel the ground
And on, and on, and on it goes
Never-ending constant struggle
I can't seem to catch my breath
Around, and round, and round I go
Repeating patterns, constant struggle
Something heaving in my chest
I've paid my sins in ink and blood
I've walked through hell to feel the sun
And now I stand, a man undone
Nails from my hands
I won't succumb
I've paid my sins in ink and blood
I've paid my sins in ink and blood
I've paid my sins in ink and blood
I've paid my sins in ink and blood
Never-ending constant struggle
Never-ending constant struggle

A Rider Named Death

Must be finally my time
Vice and sin carried me through life
The man is death, and I'm next in line
At least it's a perfect day to die
Eyes up
Today just may be your last
They call the man in black
A rider named death
They call the man in black
A rider named death
I'll face my death today
I'll take what comes my way
Cause when it comes for you
Death always gets it due
And when he comes for you
Ain't nothin' you can do
Trapped like a rat, won't lie down
Won't see myself buried in the ground
He grins at me, a look of doubt
Reach for the hip, let shots ring out
Eyes up
Today just may be your last
They call the man in black
A rider named death
They call the man in black
A rider named death
I'll face my death today
I'll take what comes my way
Cause when it comes for you
Death always gets it due
And when he comes for you
Ain't nothin' you can do

Torn into pieces
Throes of the soul
Born into madness
Struggle of the soul
Scatter the ashes of my past selves
Burn the rot that plagues the whole
Planes of existence out on the edge
See the fit, become the whole
Burn the rot
Save your soul
Burn the rot
Save your soul
Scatter the ashes of my past selves
Burn the rot, preserve the whole
Sempiternal suffering
See the fit, become the whole
Torn asunder
Throes of my soul
Born into madness
Sempiternal suffering
Burn the rot
Save your soul
Burn the rot
Save your soul
I won't watch myself die
I won't watch myself die
I won't watch myself die
I won't watch myself die
Burn the rot
Burn the rot
Burn the rot

The pattern wills and so it weaves
Woven by time into misery
Deny my certain destiny
Accept my nascent agency
The pattern wills and so it weaves
Woven by time, a fate unseen
The loom it spins, it buries me
Break the threads, set myself free
The pattern weaves
A fate unseen
My vision heaves
The void begins to swallow me
And so it weaves
Death unto me
Null prophecy
I choose my destiny
And so it weaves
Death to the prophecy
And so it weaves
Death to the prophecy
The pattern wills and so it weaves
Woven by time, a fate unseen
The loom it spins, it buries me
Break the threads, set myself free
The pattern weaves
A fate unseen
My vision heaves
The void begins to swallow me
And so it weaves
Death unto me
Null prophecy
I choose my destiny

We will forever hold it down
Don't ever try to disrespect us
I can't believe you're not here
Don't ever think that we forgot you
I lost you sixteen years ago
The pain that helped shape me
These scars, they still show
Johnny fucking Texas
Johnny fucking Texas
We will forever hold it down
Don't ever try to disrespect us
I can't believe you're not here
Don't ever think that we forgot you
Johnny fucking Texas
Johnny fucking Texas
Johnny fucking Texas
Johnny fucking Texas
Austin fucking Stewart
