Convicts 04:15
Grey eyes gleaming disposition, that's been tangled up in dissent And for so long I've been tied to a gun and been on the run From The moment I was deemed a man my wicked grin was stained After 9 years all to myself sir I'm anything but okay You place a bounty like I'm wanted for all that public can see. Your agents aren't up to speed a better man knows when to say he does not know who I am public enemy number one The midwest has been nothing but good to my friends and my closest foes Please tell my loved ones when I'm spinning jn my grave that this is the life that I chose This curse I've been blessed with is worth. Every single shot that they take You can send me every man and fire every bullet and I promise you sir ill still get away "By the time I escape these 4 walls ill he the meanest bastard you have ever met" This depressions a drought That has parched many men not say my Name aloud And for the ones who tipped my courtesy to you is a check i refuse to spend I've escaped every clutch, I've fallen three times, and I still find, That the taste of rebellion is fate. For this here king. I will never change, this is the life that I've chosen Try to convince me but I'm not growing older

Bootleggers 04:30
We won't stop till were 6 ft under congregation arise Volstead scrapes the county limits nestled with these stills in our hills and yet I would be abliged to send his best men forth to the contryside my veins personafy these roads so very well this is my home these are my battlegrounds I hope he's ready for a fight Welcome to the family No regrets we found our haven We keep our hearts sealed in a mason jar Fallacy has no regards out her tonight full run and a shotgun loaded in the backseat oh this is my vice I'm never gonna stop If you can't afford to feed the dog then you should know damn well its time to put him down searching for something but I was never really one for hunting all that's left is cold trails and a bounty on my head if prisons the price I pay for a 50 gallon still then bring it on you can't bring us down And all hills lead me home and I've been callaced to the bone another empty handed draw for prohibition and all hills lead me here that fresh pine starts to fill the airI'm only seconds away from my baby White lightin'

Charlatans 04:23
Suitcase full of bad trades. Men full of confidence by my side. Empires won't be built from a thief a cheat or a book of lies. I've handled all restraint. Found me a brand new life. Put me on that next train out of Fort Worth, i'm gone Business men and high officials, this is more than a civil war. This is rotting from the inside out. Stage the scene, places ladies and gents. Politicians welcome to corruption. Let outlaws cease, Hand over arms. This is a new regime, led by a sinister charm. I'll play the villain, till they hunt me down. and they play the fool oh so well. I introduced this town to sin. Where Honest men sink I swear to god if they swim, they're going under. This gold rushed town is sure to find out but until then this empire stays. Im back again and your never getting back what you've lost. Im back again and your never getting back what I've stole from you They found me out they know exactly what is happening. I guess I'm done I know I've won it's time to relocate revision and reestablish, all that i've built. Relocate revision and reprimand all the saints once again That rifle has a bullet with my name. I've been lost. I swear I'll repent. They said just save it. Get off your soapbox. But one last plea, "Please god don't shoot

Wolves 03:39
Fangs Out! Head high on the frontline. Call the pack into arms. So many countless bodies left to rot in the field where they lay with deceit. So you can shape the earth? This line was drawn with a stick in the dirt. What will it take to learn? He's a brother not a rebel we're a pack of wolves. Head high on the frontline dig your graves men. We're lost in a war with ourselves this famine will last day upon days. Think you can shape the erth just give me the word and I'll give you the time of day. 'Cus we're all shaping lies and we're all in disguise we are a pack of wolves If this is our nature. I'd rather be a plastic smile. It;s a brief act of courage. That ignores all honor With these cold black eyes, I'm deemed a killer but I think like a saint. It was a valiant effort but my smile is becoming a sinister grin. On this makeshift bed, there is the stinch of rotted flesh. As the fallen are bleeding from a ball bringing blood like the sea. Dont steer me away from this light I've been running from every night. To keep them breathing is to admit we aren't right. I keep this rifle strapped to my back as a bargain to stay alive. A fire has been burning for weeks on end and the leader of he pack told me to give in. I'll sink my teeth right. Oh I'll sink my fangs right in.

Shipwrecks 04:40
Lets go hallow is the heart I've drank the sea for so long saltwater plagues my tongue and the whiteflags torn cus I never gave up I never let the spirits rest the gallows are barren I have no support my legs are giving in as I sink to the ocean floor As I sink to the ocean floor to the bottom of the ocean floor and Im wondering where my life would be if those waves and those high tides were to come back and sink me my ship be going down and I'm flyin underneath the waves and I'm thinking wondering where would I be if my words wouldve ever meant shit to anyone else but myself It seems my karma has finally made its way aboard so tell me captain oh captain what's in store sail these blood red seas I'm not willing "because we're all made of shipwreck every single board" - Dan Smith I refuse to float God tell me which way is north I'm lost with a weightless anchor and as the crow flies we learn winter will approach So it seems all the greater men abhor the situation of my misfortune its not the route that I chose its just all that I know and I'm afraid that this vessel can not take another hit and as the tales will tell this captains going down with his ship and I am battered I feel it in my bones salt waters like stale fire as it hits my throat and down she goes into the ocean floor so stagger back to the port and report that she's at the ocean floor

Captives 01:37
And that ship that we spoke of for so long and to so hard about is way past sunken that's when we search for ourselves the hardest is when we're at rock bottom and we're captive to everything that this world could ever offer us and when we're searching for who it means and what it means to be alive is whenever we truly find ourselves out of this escapists little matter that we call life so take this to heart and if I see light in the morning tell my mother that I wasn't blind cus its the only time in my life that my words have had any substance any value to you or anyone else

Escapists 03:38
Bury all my sorrow in a crowded room garnished with intent to show all my sorrow is a weight released unto you they planted the seed harvest it all before I fall apart I hold belief that my thoughts were never pure but I will strive to mend my soul before it scars staging my escape and I'm a passenger praying I can pay the next toll whole heart I tangled with stability toe to toe but I rebelled and rebuilt my hope I cherished the pain and gave it a home no more I don't care what you believe in for god sakes believe in something greater than this ghost town we're living in I stooded perched on my path paved with anguish the narrow points are where I start to accept that I'm a failure but I'm getting better and this is what it takes And now the spirits start to dance in my mind and I'm choking pull the plug I'm tired of searching for a balance I'm sick and unpure so if I kill myself by morning tell my mother not to rest my soul because its the only time in my life that my name has ever been known

Psychopaths 04:32
Pulse is racing minds erased it all Everything I know is a shadow Phantoms all be warned, I had a heart I swear. But now its a disease crawling under my skin ill pick the wounds until they bleed again and again, they're safe sir, I promise they're safe. the voices told me so Wake up wake up this fair is trap, you dream it safe but I got the last laugh I'm heartless? Oh I'm heartless for sure But the voices tell me that its the only cure Its the cure for me now Its the only hope I have Oh Everybody step aside as I make my way to the scaffold, they said a hangmans noose could cure but They lied to me the I only trust what I hear in my head My foundations on hollow ground And there never was a single way out My foundations on hollow ground And I'm not who you think I am I was a simple man. Playing god, and pulling the strings, I layed my victims to rest, as they choked in their sleep. So Stand your ground stand your ground Stand your ground and let the buyer beware I placed an ear by the door cus all that I wanted was to hear you scream for more Cut ties cut necks cut throats Maybe I will regret what I done, For what its worth I escaped the gun. My tenants fate rested in they're breath and now the same fate, is wrapped around my neck I am a rustic sea of deceit

Bayonets 03:38
War this means war you are nothing but a coward as far as I see I implore you think before you speak out Tyler - "I saw the fallen when the smoke cleared and I am ashamed to have let this happen these transgressions will destroy us all I'm growing tired of digging searching caving in to a fool seeking refuge in a house made of sticks just give me a reason behind what you did" please men keep your voices down you have no room left to speak you all speak of honor with nothing to show for I hate to be the one to say the ground is breaking under your feet defending your case with no ground to stand on all I wanted was to think that for once this world could not be so blind to a savage act of aggression discern your morals and pick a side the sirens are calling you home this is what you asked for and what you'll get what you've been force fed pass down the line and I swear to god you will regret this this and you are nothing but the biggest coward I have ever met

Vultures 05:01
You vultures they've been dying for days and you just now found the strength to seek your prey well its been crawling for life on its scars and lost dreams how does it feek to sink your teeth into a worthless victim well he's been crawling towards forgiveness well the lights are flashing now the voice inside their head the words you spoke to loud sit back and here the siren sound and the angle he's working on is he's a failure to the nth degree and no ones listening so he found a noose what does he have to lose well he looks like a stranger were you listening the whisper in your ear was shrieking like sirens luring you in for the kill he looks like a savior were you listening when he said you were worth more than this give me your burdens and ill fashion them into dust take over control feeble minds and burning eyes never wanted anymore than something to live for this city might as well be dead find the strength to seek your prey
