Intro:
You watched her suffer
You watched him beat her
And said it was none of your concern
How could you do this?
How could you do this?
How could you do this, to her?
All her friends, all her family
You are just as guilty
Soon it will be your turn to burn
Verse:
You are not just a witness anymore
You watched him beat her till she hit the floor
Every bruise, every scare, every once sided brawl
Leaves a lasting impression
Every time she says it was just a fall
You could have helped her
You could have saved her
Just remember every time you look in the mirror
You all left her bleeding and screaming in terror
You all fucking disgust me
You all make me sick
So now I am going to make this memory stick
So now I am going to make this memory stick
Broken bones, Bloody nose
Who knows if she will make it another day
No help, No Exit
Just get on your knees, close your eyes and pray
I hope that your god will take your pain away
Broken bones, Bloody nose
Who knows if she will make it another day
No help, No Exit
Just get on your knees, close your eyes and pray
I hope that your god will take your pain away

Memories
02:13
|

Intro:
It wasn't always like this
Her mother was her protector
She was an angel, she was her savior
She was everything to her
She was everything to her father
She lost her life one night
Now every day is a constant fight
Verse:
We can’t live in the past
But when times are rough
It helps to look back
To when they were happy
To when they were family
She’s bleeding dry
With both sadness and angst
She can’t wait to get out of this place
Every night she cries for her mother
To come back down and save her
Verse:
She feels that without her mother
That no one will ever love her
She doesn't know how beautiful she is
How beautiful this life can be
She just wants this pain to end
She can’t see beyond the next bend
But there will be a friend
There will be love to share and send
Just hold on a little longer
You will be your mother’s daughter

Breaking Point
02:50
|
|||
Intro:
She took off in the night
To have a chance at life
This is her breaking point
She wants to leave forever
But he knows she won’t
This is her breaking point
She wants to leave forever
But he knows she won’t
Verse:
She couldn't take it anymore
Life isn't life when you’re living on the floor
She was done with the excuses
She was done with the bruises
Chorus:
Her body could only take so much
(She hit her breaking point)
Her heart couldn't bare a touch
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, her eyes have never seen such
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, she has never seen so much
(She hit her breaking point)
She hit her breaking point
Verse:
She fell in love with a lost soldier
He swore to always protect her
Her heart nearly broke
When they said she must return
Love is powerful
That’s the first lesson she had to learn
Chorus:
Her body could only take so much
(She hit her breaking point)
Her heart couldn't bare a touch
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, her eyes have never seen such
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, she has never seen so much
(She hit her breaking point)
She hit her breaking point
Bridge:
They spent every day together
The beatings seem to pause
He was her new savior
But her father still loved the bottle
So it’s just a matter of time
Till he starts to hurt her again
Till he starts to hurt her again
What will they do then?
Chorus:
Her body could only take so much
(She hit her breaking point)
Her heart couldn't bare a touch
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, her eyes have never seen such
(She hit her breaking point)
Love, she has never seen so much
(She hit her breaking point)
She hit her breaking point
Outro:
She found love at her breaking point
She found love at her breaking point

Verse:
She left him, now he's so alone
In this world, growing so cold
Just this bottle, watching life unfold
(She was his spark, she was his cure)
So he'll drink, this down pure
All he feels, is this anger
Because she left, him all alone
She still lives, in the eyes of their daughter
Chorus:
He curses reflections everyday
He can't seem to get away
From the ghost in her eyes
Every time they look, part of his soul dies
He is dead inside, nothing left to hide
"Cut out my eyes so I can't see
The ghost that will always haunt me"
(The ghost that will always haunt me)
Verse:
She was everything, he'd do anything
To get her, back with him
There is nothing, he wouldn't give
For the chance, to see her live
He traded love, for these vices
He has anger, now he's lifeless
He feels no, shame or guilt
He can't stand, the reflection of her ghost
Bridge:
"Cut out my eyes
So I can't see
The ghosts that always haunt me
She will always be
A dead reflection to me
A mirror image
Of her mother
I can’t stand
The sight of her
I can't find it in me
To ever love her"
"Cut out my eyes
So I can't see
The ghosts that always haunt me
She will always be
A dead reflection to me
A mirror image
Of her mother
I can't find it in me
To ever love her"
To ever love her
Chorus:
He curses reflections everyday
He can't seem to get away
From the ghost in her eyes
Every time they look, part of his soul dies
He is dead inside, nothing left to hide
"Cut out my eyes so I can't see
The ghost that will always haunt me"
(The ghost that will always haunt me)

Filling The Void
04:08
|
|||
Verse:
All these thoughts are filling his head
Not a day goes by, that he doesn't wish he was dead
Going back over everything she ever said
And replaying the day that they were wed
Pathetic, dirty weak old man
Does, it, fill, your sad void
To, beat, her, till she can't stand
Is it helping you to watch her bleed
Tell me old man, is this what you need
Open up your chest, let it all sink in
Just let it sink in
Chorus:
You fill your void, with those who still care
You hurt her in ways that were never fair
You should have grabbed a noose and chair
Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair
When you meet your maker
We'll see how filling your void was fair
Verse:
You built your kingdom of sadness
On the bones caused by madness
You are scum and a failure
You don't get to take it out on her
You waste your life living in the past
But her scares are always gonna last
You better change your act fast
Clean yourself up, stop treating her like trash
X2
All these thoughts are filling his head

Going back over everything she ever said
And replaying the day that they were wed
Chorus:
You fill your void, with those who still care
You hurt her in ways that were never fair
You should have grabbed a noose and chair
Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair
When you meet your maker
We'll see how filling your void was fair
Bridge:
We see the fear in her eyes
Different bruises, and a different disguise
We see the hate in your eyes
Different bottle and a different surprise
X2
The makeup can only cover up
So much before they see right through
They will see you
They will see what you do
(They will see you)
(They will see what you do)
Chorus:
You fill your void, with those who still care
You hurt her in ways that were never fair
You should have grabbed a noose and chair
Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair
When you meet your maker
We'll see how filling your void was fair
Outro:
The makeup, can only cover up
So much before they see right through
They will see you
They will see what you do
The makeup, can only cover up
So much before they see right through

Sharing The Blame
03:23
|
|||
Verse:
Hand to the face
Head meets the floor
Blood falls off her cheek
She knows tonight looks bleak
Boot to the ribs
Tip cuts the skin
Pulls her by the hair
These fights are never fair
Blood pours across the carpet
Eyes open, his hands are soaked in red
She tries to turn and run
He pulls her back, they have just begun
(Tears flood from her eyes)
(He makes her drown in it)
Verse:
His hands around her neck
She's losing a pulse to check
This is not the first time
Broken she needs a sign
He doesn't think he crossed a line
He thinks this is somehow fine
His hands around her throat
Her pulse drops with every note
Verse:
There are no sirens coming (coming)
There are no lights flashing (flashing)
Wishful thinking that someone will save
He just continue to dig her grave
X2
She screams into the night
For someone to set him right
She screams for mercy
But she can see he's blood thirsty
Verse:
Blood pours across the carpet
Eyes open, his hands are soaked in red
She tries to turn and run
He pulls her back, they have just begun
Tears flood from her eyes
He makes her drown in it
He makes her drown in it
Outro:
The devil went from the bottle to his eyes
(Somebody save her, save her)
She tucks her head down below her thighs
(Somebody save her, save her)
He throws her up and down the stairs
(Somebody save her, save her)
The bottle finished with a swim across her head

Verse:
I joined for guidance
I joined for answers
I joined to find myself
Pledged allegiance to a nation
That turned its back on me
To a nation that fed me lies
Feels like this war paint never dries
Too many times I've pulled the trigger
and lost part of myself in their eyes
This war didn't give me purpose
It caused me to question
If life is worth it
(Was it worth it)
(Was it worth it)
Was it worth it
(Was it worth it)
Was it worth it
To lose all that I was
To support what this country and what it does
I can't continue to watch men die
For a war that wasn't mine to decide
War founded by men who lie
I have nothing left in me to give
After this is over how can I live
A normal life with kids and a wife
Because I've lost myself
I'm just another lost solider on the shelf
(I have nothing left in me to give)
(After this is over how can I live)
(A normal life with kids and a wife)
Verse:
This gun beside me
Is the only friend I see
No more family
Still I won't get
On my knee
And ask god
To save me
Your god can’t save me
(Your god can’t save me)
X2
Feels like this war paint never dries
Too many times I've pulled the trigger
lost part of myself in their eyes
This war didn't give me purpose

Something To Live For
02:58
|
|||
Verse:
Finally home
He paces empty streets all alone
He's given up on everything
Till something changes everything
Chorus:
He looks into her eyes
(She looks into his eyes)
The feeling they can't deny
(This electric connection)
Grows stronger with each second of perfection
(Finally he has something to live for)
They don't care what life has in store
(They mirror each others love)
(They see no clouds hanging above)
Verse:
(Finally home)
(He paces empty streets all alone)
(He's given up on everything)
(Till something changes everything)
He hears a sound
He begins to look around
Someone caught his eye
Little did he know
What he had found
Her bags packed
She's on the run
They begin to talk
Until they see the sun
Verse:
Beautiful, young and true
(Love is the key in all we do)
Handsome, young and pure
(They are each other's cure)
Chorus:
He looks into her eyes
(She looks into his eyes)
The feeling they can't deny
(This electric connection)
Grows stronger with each second of perfection
(Finally he has something to live for)
They don't care what life has in store
(They mirror each others love)
(They see no clouds hanging above)
Verse:
(Finally home)
(He paces empty streets all alone)
(He's given up on everything)
(Till something changes everything)
He hears a sound
He begins to look around
Someone caught his eye
Little did he know
What he had found
Her bags packed
She's on the run
They begin to talk
Until they see the sun
Both in search of solid ground
There hands lock without a single sound
(They can’t believe they found each other)
(They refuse to lose one another)
Bridge:
The police came in to lay claim
On the girl he loved
To return her to the place she runs from
He followed close behind
Things were calm till her father began to unwind
He interfered and instilled fear
But he couldn't always be there
He slept close by every night
But something's are always out of sight
But something's are always out of sight

Witness (To The Victim)
04:05
|
|||
Intro:
One night he looks in through the window
Catching one last plow
Before her father hits the bar
He races in to save her
He says this time he's gone too far
Chorus:
He can't just be another witness
He needs her to outlive this
With or without her approval
He knows what needs to be done
You need to live to see a son
You can't go back on the run
Verse:
He knows she can't keep living this way
She says there's no way she can getaway
He knows that he can't stay
He makes her bed and lets her lay
He decides tomorrow's the day
Whispers she no longer needs to pray
Because tomorrow the predator becomes the pray
She's already sleeping, the night goes silent
Verse:
He says
He doesn't get to touch you again
He says
It's time for this to come to an end
He's not them
(He’s not them)
He can't just stand back and watch
As she turns black and blue
He's already decided what he must do
Bridge:
This is torment, this is torture
How is she expected to endure
He is here to turn the tables
In her favor
(He takes the place of her savior)
(He is determined to save her)
He says
He doesn't get to touch you again
He says
It's time for this to come to an end
He says
He's not them
X2
Chorus:
He can't just be another witness
He needs her to outlive this
With or without her approval
He knows what needs to be done
You need to live to see a son
You can't go back on the run
(You can’t go back on the run)
Verse:
He says
He doesn't get to touch you again
He says
It's time for this to come to an end
He says
He's not them
He says
He says
(Well he says)
She can’t go back on the run
She’ll be just another victim
She can’t go back on the run
She’ll be just another victim
(She won’t be another victim)
He won’t be just another witness
He needs her to outlive this
(Outlive this)
Chorus:
He can't just be another witness
He needs her to outlive this
With or without her approval
He knows what needs to be done
You need to live to see a son
You can't go back on the run

Helping (IV:The Reaping)
04:13
|
|||
He's ready at the crack of dawn
Ready to make him sorry for the things he's done
He cleans his gun
Counts every bullet but he won't miss once
It's time to drown in blood
He would do anything for love
He wants to see him beg
He wants to see him cry
He will start to question
But they both know why
He must die
Kicks open the front door
He pistol whips him to the floor
He can't wait to watch him suffer more
This is everything he's been waiting for
Kicks in his knees
(He says)
“I wanna here you beg please”
Old man there's a reason your on your knees
The only thing missing is a trigger squeeze
He doesn't hesitate for a second
He's been dying just to end it
(He doesn't hesitate for a second)
(He's been dreaming of this moment)
He pulls the hammer back
Waiting to see how he will react
Will it be confusion
or will it be illusion
All I know is this is the final solution
He's been dreaming of this day
His love will no longer be the prey
The torment ends today
His finger squeezes the trigger
The bullet exits the barrel
Finally someone came to help her
His body lays lifeless
This moment is oh so priceless
X3
He doesn't question what he's done
It's time that she has won
Now she will never need to run
She can spend her days free under the sun
He doesn't question what he's done
It's time that she has won
This war is finally over
Or has it just begun?
This war is finally over
(Or has it just begun?)
This war is finally over
(Or has it just begun?)
Or has it just begun?
Her sick sad excuse for a father
Has crossed to the other side
X3
and I can't wait to tell her
That her suffering is over
And this is how much I loved her
(He runs up the stairs)
(Throws open the bathroom door)
(And finds her bleeding out everywhere)
She was bleeding out everywhere
He tries to clot her arms
But the razor blade cut them long
She's far passed gone
He tries to clot her arms
But the razor blade cut them long

Hurting
04:01
|
|||
Verse:
In his head he replays walking up every step
Every crack on the rails
Crooked pictures of the perfect sails
The door cracked
Like the cement in the sidewalk
No matter how he tries he can't block
The moment he found her there
Eyes wide with a dead stare
So god damn innocent
Things in life are never fair
Things in life are just never fair
But he failed to see her side
Or to see the things on her mind the night she died
She couldn't take it anymore
Living life in such a way
Brings to question why to stay
It's not that she didn't love him
But the light at the end was growing so dim
It just became too much to bare
Things in life are just never fair
It just became too much to bare
(Things in life are just never fair)
Verse:
We are just skin and bones
The results of broken homes
We bare our weight alone
With nothing to call our own
X2
Verse:
No one is saying it’s right
But when happiness is out of sight
Depression swoops in quick
She just wants you to understand
This was never planned
He wants to feel her hand
Discover his one last time
God please give him a sign
please give him a sign
We are just skin and bones
The results of broken homes
We bare our weight alone
With nothing to call our own
It's not that she didn't love him
But the light at the end was growing so dim
It just
It just became too much to bare
Things in life are just never fair
(Never fair)
(Things in life are just never fair)
(I’ll see you there)

Hanging
04:25
|
|||
Intro:
(It’s hanging time)
X3
Chorus:
Grab a chair
Grab the rope
Tie a noose knot
Don't stop
Some people are never happy
with what they got
X3
Verse:
He can't live
With the fact
That she’s gone
So he took after her
But he used a noose and a chair
Nothing else made him care
Is this what you think she would want
He wants to die together
So both of them can haunt
This house masked in death
The air grows thinner with every breath
Rope around his neck
He kicks the chair
Life is never fair
We mourn the loss
Of a solider without a cross
X2
Chorus:
Grab a chair
Grab the rope
Tie a noose knot
Don't stop
Some people are never happy
with what they got
X3
Verse:
(Seconds pass like hours)
(Every minute in his head)
Seconds pass like hours
Every minute in his head
Brings him inches to death
With this rope around his neck
He no longer wants the time
To reminisce and reflect
The art of choking yourself
Won't long be missed
But at least he's with her now
They found there solid ground
May you rest safe and sound
(It’s hanging time)
Grab a chair
Grab the rope
Tie a noose knot
Don't stop
Some people are never happy
with what they got
