PALISADES LYRICS

1. We Are All

Come to me, in your time of need.
When you're all alone, and there's no one to run to.
Come to me, in your time of need.
When you're so alone, and there's no one to run to.

2. Your Disease

I never seem to catch me right before I hit the floor
I never seem to get me, and I'm coming back for more

I can't get it right, self medicated
Dive down the bottle of the substance I've created
Bag of excuses, and I feel useless
Do you know how it feels to be hollowed out?
Cause I'm drowning, just to catch my breath
I'm drowning till there's nothing left,
There's nothing left, and I'm about to drown here
Do you hear me yet?
Drowning, just to catch my breath

I'm at the starting line when I've been left behind,
You all keep going and going until I'm out of time

Is this Medicine enough to cure?
Bring me to be your disease
and I won't be cured
Bring me to be your disease

I never seem to catch me right before I hit the floor
I never seem to get me, and I'm coming back for more
Drowning just to catch my breath
I'm drowning till there's nothing left, there's nothing left

Get up, get up, get up

When you're down to nothing you always look for something
Even if it means you become your own disease

So hold me closer, I need something to make me feel, to make me feel again

3. Outcasts

I tend to think about the worst of outcomes
What you feel is fake what you feel is fake
My mind makes up so many problems
Just get over it
You just don't get it cause my past is haunting
And I'm obsessed with all kinds of ugly
Looked down on by society
Does anyone get me

To be heard is all that I want
Like a message in a bottle
Will I ever be caught?
When is it enough

Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I over reacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me

It's a fact that I'm going crazy
Searching for solitude just to getaway
Do we deserve to live this way?
Constantly ridiculed by those that say
We are the outcasts

Cause we, we are the outcasts, yeah!

Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I over reacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
And I'm afraid that I just won't fit in
It's a battle that I've always had within
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me

Sometimes, I can't help feeling like I'm the one in the wrong
So lost, I can't find my place in this crowded room
But I, I know in the end I'm not alone
And I, I know in the end I'll find my way back home.

4. A Disasterpiece

I can feel your heart as it's racing
It's me rearranging
And all the times that you said you'd stay with me
I should've known that you'd just get up and leave

I kept myself bound to a cancer that only ate up my soul
and all the years in that I gave her only did singe my skin with holes
cigarette burns to my brain are the last impression that you gave
and it's a shame that your only claim to fame is that you're listed with my name

I can feel your heart as it's racing
It's me rearranging
And all the times that you said you'd stay with me
I should've known that you'd just get up and leave
So now it's me that I'm changing, I'm not going to take it
C'mon and taste this, go on get wasted
You're using me so I'll burn away

The truth I found out keeps me up all night, it's not right, it's not right.
Go back where you belong
So get back on your knees
Get back on your knees
like you've always done

So we can never be a couple hun,
Fuck love, all I've got for you is two fingers pointed up!

5. The Reckoning

[feat. Chris Roetter of Like Moths To Flames]

I've been staring at my reflection
I've lost all perception
who have I become?

cause I don't wanna be
another part of their
machines
it's hard to breathe
sucking the life out of me
what does it mean
when everything you see
becomes what you believe?

this is the reckoning
no it's not what it seems
I'm not who I thought I'd be
this will be the end of me
no it's not what I dreamed
I'm not who I thought I'd be

I'm so lost stuck in my transition
and I can't get a grip on
the person I've become

cause I've lost sight of me
force fed with words that they preach
I've been deceived
corrupted by their greed
just let me be, be the change you wanna see
just set me free

just set me free
(set me free)

do you feel like you're in control?

[Chris Roetter:]
Sacrificed enough
I found the meaning in the walls built up
and for the first time I see clearly
We were born to die
but not before we're given the chance to survive

This is the reckoning
no it's not what it seems
I'm not who I used to be

6. High And Low

Yo hit em with the high and the low

quickly always escaping me
making it hard to breath
as you're moving through my mind
I need to talk to you
I need to know you
and words can not describe
you're paralyzing
it's hypnotizing
the way you move
and I can't get enough
so captivating
it drives me crazy
you're what I need
and I cant get enough

won't you take
me away to a better place
where my hearts
skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away

You're finally staring at me
your eyes on mine
time is standing still
for you and I

[Tyler Carter:]
You're paralyzing
and hypnotizing
The sight of you
I can't get enough
oh, baby I'm thinking of you
and I know I got you thinking of me too
but I'm all choked up
so I guess it's safe to say I'm blue
take me away to a better place

Where my heart skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away
take me away

Yo hit em with the high and the low

7. The Arctic

And I walked a thin line
Just get away from me, get away from me
And I can not define
The meaning of what I did this time
I'm nothing but an endless joke
And everything goes up in smoke
I'm dancing with the devil
I'm broken in pieces
A sad excuse for a man
Hope that you can understand
The guilt I've felt inside
Eats me alive
It eats me alive!

Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me

You can be the judge
Juror, executioner
I deserve a sentence
To fuel all your vengeance
And it's full remorse for what I have done
If I'm locked away
Don't forget there's two sides to the story
If I'm condemned to a cell
To sit with my sins in hell
Then you better take notice
To the only notion
If I'm in here, she should be as well

Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
Can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
These streets are still haunted
You see, can't you see
That it's not what i wanted
Myself got the best of me

I could point a finger, but you'd cut it off
I could tell you outright it'd still be my fault
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
When I say I'm sorry
I know that I'm wrong
I wanna say more
But I'll keep my mouth shut
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me

8. A.I.

There was once a time
when I knew what I was made of
yeah I had some veins they'd pump blood
but then I realized that it's easier to be less alive
and I've replaced my mind with some kind of machine
dead inside

I like it better when I'm made of bolts
no human flesh could withstand the threshold
I recommend advice to all my friends
you'll never have to be alone again
I like it better when you're made of skin
there's no way I'd be caught dead in that again
cause being real and having heart is something that I failed at from the start

so I took my time, started slow
carefully removing
appendages, all the parts that broke
and I was willfully replacing them with metal parts
cause it's easier without a heart
and with iron lungs, I can breath after all the deeds you've done

replace my heart with a machine
I left my body in the street
so none of you can ever hurt me, hurt me
repair my head so I can think
about the way you treated me
so none of you can ever hurt me

I never wanted this, never wanted this to be me

9. Betrayed

And I'm as empty as they come
a remnant of a ship that once sailed
never ever finding shore
welcomed the water in and then I begged for more
I feel nothing, I don't wanna feel a damn thing
A ghost of who I used to be
Forever haunting halls only to remind you of me

No matter how you spin this, I keep looking for myself
In the dark with no lantern, the only flames I found were hell

Whoa
Torturing myself
Whoa
Looking to find
Whoa
A little bit of remedy, remember when you were mine? You were mine

You know that you kill me, in every way
Whoa
I gave up everything. Is wrong to want you to stay?

I've got nothing left to give
You took advantage of me when I just took you in
and now I'm standing alone and I can finally see
You're the fucking enemy!

Please I'm begging you
I'm begging you to stay

The love, the lies, the sex, the pain
the life you left, the hate in me

10. Sidney

And it's been long enough
and still I have to bite my tongue
and the days and the weeks and the months pass by
I can't get you off my mind
I'll keep this inside

but that's okay

and I say
I want you to be my girl
want you to be my world
even if it means that
I can't have you by my side
just want you in my life

I've been waiting by the minute
every precious little second
try to wrap my head around that I'll never get it
contemplating if it's the right time to let you know
you're stuck in my thoughts so let's make a deal
I'll keep my lips locked if you promise it's real
and if he treats you right
then I'm fine

I'm waiting for you
(speechless, I wanted to call out your name,
I stopped in fear that things would change)
I swear if you knew
then I know it wouldn't be the same
I'm waiting for you
(speechless but I'm alright, alright)
I swear if you knew
I set aside my love for less

11. Scarred

And I crept through your head
Just to settle the score
Thought you were done but you wanted more
The satisfaction that I'll get my mind
Is knowing that you couldn't ever really leave me behind
Payback is always best served cold,
I took a page from your book just to torture your soul
Payback is always best served cold,
So take a step back and watch your fate unfold

Cause I don't wanna stop control
And I don't wanna loose my hold
You'll never find a way, never find a way,
You wont escape the mess you've made
Cause I don't wanna stop control
And I don't wanna loose my hold
You'll never get away, never getaway,
From the choices that you've made

Whoa, look into my eyes
Can't you see the damage done
Where will you run when you have no one left to love?

You don't know the person you are
What you have done
I'll make my mark
I'll scar
