ANTAGONIST LYRICS

1. Bomb Shelter


A dialogue, inaudible
Above the ground, nightmares exist
An absolute catastrophe
Our fear, our weakness shining through
We did it to ourselves
Writings no one will read
Sounds no one will hear
Open the door and shield your eyes
Witness the horror you've always denied
A holocaust beyond the walls
But within our hearts, dreams still exist
A fight for humanity
This is the way legends are made
Against all odds, we'll live again
This is the end, a time to begin
Plant the seeds, they'll grow in time
We'll live again


2. Exist


The eyes surrounding
The pressure is mounting
Billions of fingers pointing the blame
Your words are whispered
Your smirks like pistols
Loaded and ready to fire
All alone I'm helpless (so helpless)
But all together we can do this
For each other, for ourselves
Heart is all it takes
Trapped in every direction
As darkness encircles
But I know there's a light
I could feel it inside
Heart is all it takes


3. Amnesia Ln.


Sometimes you have to
Burn your bridges
And never look back
Cut the ones who never gave back
Bite your tongue
Til it bleeds and writhes
Just to keep this enmity inside
I stop these tears
And hold my head up high
I face my fears
And keep hope alive
A test in solitude
Your face only makes it burn
Feet planted firmly
Fists clenched tightly
Dyslexic messages
Read between the lines
Just let it go, let it die
My silence holds strength
When worlds cannot explain


4. Marana


"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"
Who said that anyway?
Must've been someone just like me
A hopeless design, under constant repair
All the wiring tangled, disconnected
Burnt wires, short circuits
Dip me in water, destroy my insides
It'd feel a lot better than this
Being alone, desolation at its finest hour
Being torn away from you, the essence of torture
"What if," a devastating thought
"Why" is eating at my heart
God, where are you when I need you?
I'm stuck, I'm so fucking lost
Those things most important to me
You shouldn't be one of them
But you are, I can't help it
These scars, I can't stop them
Your words, they latch onto me
Never weakening, only weakening me
I have so much to say, but no time to say it
I've said too much, sew my mouth shut
So lost without you
I keep falling
Falling apart
Falling for you
Falling deeper
I reach up for you
You're still so far away
Please clutch my hand
And don't let go
Don't let go


5. Failure On Repeat


Somewhere in my head
Weakness makes me invincible
This place does not exist
Nowhere can I be myself
If only I'd enjoy the suffering
Welcome to reality
A place where weakness is destroyed
Watch it spiral down
Into the darkest hole
I close my eyes
And hope to hit the floor
Watch me spiral down
Repeating all my woes
Hear my failing words
They echo


6. Immaculate Misconception


If I could crush my skull
If I could examine my thoughts
What the fuck would I see?
It's all so different
Life has been raped
Love has been executed
Excreted through bowels of infestation
I always knew love smelled like shit
This force is pulling me away, closer to the dark
Eclipse the light
Now I feel the presence, the power, the darkness
It lives inside
You're not immaculate, just a misconception
Impregnated with animosity


7. Final Words For An Unknown Friend


You tremble at the thought
A story in your tears
This means so much more
Textbooks cannot explain
The tragic history of man
The innocents, the bloodshed
Don't pray for him
False sermons for the frail
Pray for a change
Pray it's almost over
Familiar faces overhead
Memories fall from sullen eyes
Fallen soldier, hear these words
In your honor, we unite
Fallen friend, hear my cries
In your name, we'll continue to fight
This is all too real, all too familiar
What this generation needs now is a revolution
We'll fight, not in the name of a three-way lie
But in the name of our brothers,
Our sisters, our mothers, and our fathers
With death comes life


8. Angels


This place of plastic
Where the fakes are so real
This toxic wasteland
Where the real is unreal
The dirt, poverty, and loneliness
Where the movies come true
Thinly shrouded by the extravagance
Of the privileged few, haughty elitists
We'll never be like them
We'll simply rise against
We're the struggling masses
Where we come from is how we will live
Beauty in chaos, not the Hollywood bullshit
Where we come from is how we survive
It's in our blood, don't you ever forget it
A concrete jungle where we rest our heads
In the midst of the madness
This is where we live
And this is where we'll die
Our birthplace, our burial site
This is where we'll die


9. Awake


I had a dream last night
You were standing at my door
Welcome home, lifeless shadow
To give is to receive
But you've given me nothing
Not even tragedy
Could open my sleeping eyes
The sight of empty space
The fear you'll never return
You'll never return
My greatest fear has come true
Forced to breathe without you
This waking nightmare is realized
Breathing without you
The final chapter, a revelation
I will breathe without you
Awaken
When sleep comes, forget it all
Sleep should be like death
Eyes wide open, I've awoken
I will breathe


10. So Let It Rain


A cough so dry, it tears flesh away
Brittle nails, I'm biting again
Scratch and burn, old and used
But ready to make anew
Ready for what's coming next
I wouldn't have it any other way
The storm is coming
Dark clouds above
Engulf me, engulf us all
Our throats are dry, renew us
Give us life, give us strength
Mother nature, the almighty, let it rain
Give us life, give us strength, so let it rain
Drown our corpses
Wash us away, sweep us into the gutters
Rebirth of I, a path not made for the weak
But that worth living for
Worth dying for, stays the same
Always, my home, so let it rain
Constant change, forever in motion
