Not Today (Demo)
02:47

|||
Hold up your head, it's no walk in the park
You're reaching out, but you're missing the mark
Passion and drive aren't a part of the scene
Give up your dreams for the easier things
Swallow your pride just to get out of bed
Nine to five 'til you're sick in the head
I try to sleep, but I toss and I turn
Every mistake is a lesson to learn
This can't be all we are
Sun up on another day
This ugly world is pretty lame
This can't be growing up
Sun down, it's all the same
Maybe someday soon we'll make a change
But not today
Motivation slipping through your hands
Wake up in time to do it over again
What is the goal if you stop and you think?
Hollow at best 'til the end of the week
Stomach turning, failing, chasing regrets
You're dying slow and you're drowning in debt
Wasting time, still trying to cope
The ends meet at the end of the road
This can't be all we are
Sun up on another day
This ugly world is pretty lame
This can't be growing up
Sun down, it's all the same
Maybe someday soon we'll make a change
But not today
Another day is pretty lame
We'll make a change
But not today

Land Mines (Demo)

Close the bar, 3 o'clock in the street
Drunken sprinting will lead to defeat
Oh no, sticks and stones again
You had to go but I didn't believe
When you said it was you, never me
Oh no, now I'm single again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
Dressed to kill for a date, such a find
Too burned out to remember what time
Oh no, forgot my wallet again
Up all night, spent my rent at the bar
Late for work, locked my keys in my car
Oh no, I'm hungover again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines again
I'm dodging land mines, I'm dodging land mines

Better Off Dead (Demo)
03:48
|
|||
I can sense your eyes are watching with every step I take
You tear off the bandage to watch the blood escape
There is no rhyme or reason for the pain inside
Words are like razors that drag in my mind
In the end I fought to breathe
And found that life is worse than dying
Better off dead
Better off dead
I wish I had the guts to drop you like a habit
Your needle tunnels deep, I'm crippled like an addict
You say you don't want chaos, then lit up every fuse
All organs start to fail from cauterizing you
In the end I fought to breathe
And found that life is worse than dying
Better off dead
Better off dead
In the end I fought to breathe
And found that life is worse than dying
Better off dead
In the end I fought to breathe
And found that life is worse than dying
Better off dead
In the end I fought to breathe
And found that life is worse than dying
Better off dead
Better off dead
