What does it take How high are the stakes If our lives aren't riding on the line, then this challenge isn't worth my time No I won't break I'll keep the promises that I make in the palm of my hand This point of view will help me understand! Through these eyes I realize the suffering I'm taking a stand to comprehend a life worth living I'll grit my teeth and hold my cards close to my chest We gotta give it a shot Try and do our best What does it take How high are the stakes If our lives aren't riding on the line, then this challenge isn't worth my time No I won't break I'll keep the promises that I make in the palm of my hand This point of view will help me understand! Through these eyes I realize the suffering I'm taking a stand to comprehend a life worth living I'll grit my teeth and hold my cards close to my chest We gotta give it a shot Try and do our best And I'm folding My spines creasing Now I'm falling down faster now Sink your teeth, in my beliefs. I feel like I'm incomplete I'll take my faith and leave this place To reach something that means more to me You'll bend and break Don't hesitate through your mistakes You'll find glory. I'll raise my hand As I take my stand And fight for what I believe

You're alive, but are you really living? Wake up and do the same routine every day Contemplating on why your mortality is even relevant at this point Dreaming of what life you want but never obtaining it Work, bills, responsibilities they're overflowing Making it difficult to obtain true happiness At least that's what the voice in my head told me I have a fixation, with self-deprecation I'll take it with a grain of salt, so I know that it's not my fault Even though my problems are products of my attitude I'll compromise my feelings for scenarios that aren't even true It's hard, feel like I haven't got that far It's apparent that things have changed Now my mind need to be rearranged You wake up greeted by ray's of sunshine bleeding through the blinds You made it to another day Chalk it down on the legacy that is your life Your frail existence continues to trek forward After contemplating your actuality You muster up the courage to look at yourself in the mirror To no avail you're greeted with the same fake smile Fake it till you make it, but how much longer should this charade go on I have a fixation, with self-deprecation I'll take it with a grain of salt, so I know that it's not my fault Even though my problems are products of my attitude I'll compromise my feelings for scenarios that aren't even true It's staring at the ceiling until it fades away into static It's closing your eyes and hoping you never have to open them again it's haunting you every moment My legs have become cemented to the floorboards Gnashing of teeth xis the metronome that my sanity slips away to My grip on reality untethers from the fibers in my fingertips Exhaling thick ash that plagues my lungs Coughing up webs that held me together I'm falling apart knowing there is nothing better I feel so defeated, and anger seems absolute The more I try to branch out I find myself in solitude

Staring at a textured ceiling And I'm stuck inside my head And I cannot move so I'll pretend the dots are snow instead Nobody help me, please, I can do this on my own I'm just scared, my body's all locked up, I might die here alone Two big nights, everyone's fried and looking for love Meanwhile, I just finished two long drives Bustin my ass in Loves There's so much to do other than fucking rest But I can't fucking move this knot out of my chest It's a stupid excuse but its nothing new It's all I can do It's all I can do Two big nights, everyone's fried and looking for love Meanwhile, I just finished two long drives Bustin my ass in Love's It's been a long time since I've felt alright Putting myself in light Two big nights they're thinking something's not right Well somethings not right Staring at a textured ceiling And I'm stuck inside my head And I cannot move so I'll pretend the dots are snow instead Nobody help me, please, I can do this on my own I'm just scared, my body's all locked up, I might die here alone Maybe I'm too old to be just figuring this one out But I'm the one whos gotta tell someone When there's no one else around

You told me One and one don't make two And I'd be A fool for not believing in you Crooked lies and shit staind smiles got my knee shaking on the floor These tired eyes won't apologize I don't want to pray anymore I'm sorry I told the truth Cuz I know that you Aren't coming through And now I know that's fine I've come to terms with what is true It's not you I'm realizing something new That my sleepless nights and broken mind Never really gave me time to open up my eyes Crooked lies and shit staind smiles got my knee shaking on the floor These tired eyes won't apologize I don't want to pray anymore I'm sorry I told the truth Cuz I know that you Aren't coming through And now I know that's fine

I want to be someone That you notice When I’m not around Cause I’m feeling so down Thanks for noticing I want to be something To you We can go on road trips Break-in Then take a dip In some swimming pools In some swimming pools I want to go somewhere With you One so rural and dense With a population of ten Our own continent I want to be everything And more The one who understands When works got you feeling sad I want to know more Yeah I want to know more I want to be someone That you hold hands with And when you walk out the door I want to feel more Of that sadness I want to be someone You fall in love with At the end of the day You will always have me Because that’s what love is Yeah that’s what love is I want to be someone with you I want to be something to you I want to go somewhere with you I want to be everything to you To you

Every single day is a struggle, When you Try to fight the demons inside And I know what that’s like It’s not any easier the first time Or the second But I know Things change I’m Just not sure when No I’m not sure when, when all that could be Yet I know That you know, Exactly who you are And I know, It’s not show No That’s really who you are And I know That you know exactly who you are Every single day is a lifetime, And this life of mine’s Not satisfying. I keep myself up late at night Just to ease the tensions Of the day before But I know
10.
I am not drunk at all And yes I might've had a drink or two But I'm not drunk But give up your dreams And give up your goals And give up your ambitions This world don't care about those This world will eat you up Throw you up Lick it back up And barf you out Back all over again It'll be the piece of stain On this worlds history Just give it up already Give up your ambitions This world don't Care about those Just give it up already Give up your ambitions

about

"Cadavre Exquis: also known as Exquisite Corpse, is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, previous to the person who contributed."
We have the amazing opportunity to collaborate with some great bands on this split. In honor of that, we crafted this exquisite corpse to pay homage to all of the art patrons. We believe through helping each other we will prosper. We need each other in this community. Always advocate love and friendship.
