3rd Lane- Herd Instinct
04:39
|

This world is attacking me
And it won’t be happy
Until I am bleeding
Who knew you’d become my worst enemy
You’re the one that I thought would
Always be there for me
And if the herd instinct has its way
They will bury me while I’m still alive and breathing
Laugh at me as they piss on my grave
This world is attacking me
And it’s so relentless
To give me a beating
They all, flaunt their fake subtleties
Hiding vicious instincts
And their cruel tendencies
And if the herd instinct has its way
They will bury me while I’m still alive and breathing
Laugh at me as they spit in my face
Point their fingers and wave
And if they don’t understand what I say
They have never been one, then
To have been in their way
And if they don’t understand what I say…
Oh wait, I figured it out
Karma got stuck in a drought
Caught giving in to self-doubt
Forgetting what it’s all about
Playing the kindest souls out
Sold out…
Sold out…
And if they don’t understand what I say?
Fuck them anyways

There are times in my life
When I feel like I’m the one
Receptacle for everyone
So just use me, and abuse me
Let me take in all your pain
And you will find your love again
So go ahead and treat me like
The black hole that I am
Just go ahead and fill me up
With all your primal energy
Well go ahead and treat me like
The black hole that I am
Your sex and violence and hate
Your dark matter therapy
There are times in my life
When I feel like I’m the one
Receptacle for everyone
So just use me, and abuse me
Let me take in all your pain
And you will find your love again
There are times in my life
When I feel like I’m the one
Receptacle for everyone
So just rape me, and debase me
Let me take in all your pain
And you will find your love again
So go ahead and treat me like
The black hole that I am
Just go ahead and fill me up
With all your primal energy
Well go ahead and treat me like
The black hole that I am
Your sex and violence and hate
Your dark matter therapy
So go ahead and treat me like
The black hole(soul)that I am
And go ahead and fill me up
With all your darkest energy

3rd Lane- Reverse
04:54

I don’t want to know
Where the light will go
I just want it to close
I’m stuck in reverse
And everything hurts
Will I ever find
That place I’ve been searching for
I’m falling apart
And back to the start
Can I hit rewind
Before peace will close the door
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time, to let it all just go
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time…
I’m stuck in reverse
And everything hurts
I’m falling in line
But I’m broken at the core
I’m tearing apart
And back to the start
Can I capture time
Before never comes to shore
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time, to let it all just go
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time…
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time, to let it all just go
Oh, and I really ought to know
That it’s time
To let it all just go

3rd Lane- Predisposed
04:00
|

Oh I (why), I know that I’ve thrown it all away
It was, likely predestined to be this way
But I, still have only myself to blame today
Choosing, to fail is not something that is okay
I don’t know, exactly though
Where I, made that decision of not to grow
I suppose, that on my own
It all, has something to do with being alone
I, I know that I’ve thrown it all away
It was, likely predestined to be this way
But I, still didn’t resist it enough and stayed
Changing, is not something that you simply say
I don’t know, exactly though
Where I, made that decision of not to grow
I suppose, that on my own
It all, has something to do with being alone

3rd Lane- Breathe
04:39

It takes a great absence from time
Stealing faith, following from behind
And its face and location may change
But the pain and the heartache remain
Everything
Is happening
It’s all the same
The illusion is all that remains
Do you know what it’s like to breathe
Everything
I attach to painful memories
I find myself drifting so aimlessly
Do you know what it’s like to bleed
So endlessly
I have lost everything that I need
And the darkness shadows all parts of me
Everything
Is happening
It’s all the same
The illusion is all that remains
Bitterly
I try to leave
So hauntingly
I can’t escape even within my dreams
Reminding me
I can’t be free
Of everything
Inside of the deep sadness that it brings
Do you know what it’s like to breathe
Everything

3rd Lane- Left By Myself
04:51
|
|||
|
You’re with someone else
I’m left by myself
You’d think that I’d be used to it
But I’m not as calloused as I try to pretend
What can I do to make you understand?
The answer’s nothing, if you won’t give me the chance
And I want you to, but I know that I can’t change
Anything
And I really don’t want, to live this way anymore
I would rather just not, have any feelings at all
And I don’t know how much, more of this I can endure
I’m overwhelmed, and forever unexplored
You’ll love someone else
I’ll be by myself
Why can’t that be me?
Outside these dreams
I felt conflicted, the times you were around
Outside I smiled, but you never saw me drown
Well that’s your fault, you have never opened up
Or let me in
And I, I slowly disappear
A fading, reflection in the mirror
Forgotten, a ghost that represents
What could have been
So I, I slowly die alone
Without you, together never grown
I feel it, like a flood that won’t subdue
That I’ve lost you

I wear my heart
On my sleeve
And it took everything away from me
I wore it out to
Let you in
And I lost everything in the end
Lord I don’t know how to change
And if I did, I would probably stay
Choose not to fight through the same
I wear my heart
On my sleeve
And it took everything away from me
I wore it out to
Let you in
And it cost me everything in the end
Lord I don’t know how to change
And if I did, I would probably stay
Choose not to fight through the same
Again
Lord I don’t know how to change
And if I did, I would probably stay
Choose not to fight through the same
I wore it out to
Let you in
And I somehow thought you were my friend
Lord I don’t know how to change
And if I did, I would probably stay
Choose not to fight through the same
Again
Lord I don’t know how to change
And if I did, I would probably stay
Choose not to fight through the pain
I wore my heart
On my sleeve
And it took you away from me

Lay me down to sleep
Don’t ever let me wake up
This life is not for me
I am alone and trapped in
This purgatory
Self-gratification
My outlet has a pain
Pull it out, rub it in
So softly and slowly
Tearing deeper in
Harder, faster, so invasively
Take control of me
Climb into it, and possess these dreams
Lay me down to sleep
Don’t ever let me wake up
This life is not for me
I am alone and trapped in
This purgatory
Self-gratification
My outlet has a pain
Rip it out, force it in
And be sure to climax
In my suffering
My mind is my worst enemy
Compulsively obsessing me
Provoking cruelly, painful memories
My mind is my worst enemy
Exploiting my worst fantasies
So fucking sadomasochistically
My mind is my worst enemy
Degrading my own dignity
Molesting myself, so sadistically
My mind is my worst enemy
Betraying my own sanity
It’s sad how what is love to one can be
An act of someone else’s heart breaking
I am a magnet for this tragedy
Your sex is violence, and is raping me
Lay me down to sleep
Don’t ever let me wake up
LA is not for me
I am alone and trapped in
This purgatory

Wake up slowly
Open your eyes
It’s time to realize what you can be
It’s time to step up
Your life belongs to you
Subdue your fate entirely
You control your destiny
Don’t let anyone tell you differently
It’s your right, it’s your choice
Take control, decide how your life will be
I said I know and I’ve made up my mind I’m ready
I’m not going to give up on life
And if I fail at least I’ll know I’ve tried
It’s so easy, giving up
What take’s strength in life is fighting, trying
Feeling sorry for yourself
A path to nowhere and it changes nothing
Overcome, everything
All the shit you’ve been through, is strengthening
No excuses, no regrets, just realize
When you walk through that door, there’s no turning back
I said I know and I’ve made up my mind I’m ready
I’m not going to give up on life
And if I fail at least I’ll know I’ve tried
