Clustered 01:35
I slowly grind my teeth as I try to sleep clustered with frustration paying the price for this bed I made everyone has a burden don't bother to compare or relate I lied to myself when I said I buried my past these nights left me damaged, exiled & estranged
2.
Ash & Grey 02:38
turned my back from the truth drowning my emotions to feel numb inside it's hard to admit that everything you vouched for was a fucking lie as I look in the mirror I can see myself dying pages of my life burning & fading away a meaningless story of constant fucking failures I smash what's staring back at me superstitious but I'm too broken to even care demons stalk me in my suspended state of paralysis I cant tell anymore if I'm awake or dreaming if these walls could talk they would be the closest thing to what I felt those nights, shut out from existence the pressure of the noose tightens, I'm suffocating fading in silence me pierdo en las temptaciones de mis vicios everything worth of any significance is left ash & grey you'll never test your worst tendencies until everything you know is in pieces everything you knew is left in ash tray of residue
3.
The Division 02:17
this is our self destruction dirty deeds influenced from across the street for a taste of power & a dream of luxury there's no room for error when you're playing with fire you're life won't be one to spare you won't walk away unscathed with any mistakes that you have made you'll easily cease to exist with no trace of the last days you were seen breathing manipulation The river is running red their administration neglects the spreading pestilence irrelevant whether currency's legitimate media sources blacklisted stories are shared by word of mouth fear is apparent through the pedestrians eyes as they explain the terror this isn't to glorify but acknowledge the waves of violence that drown them with despair the river is running red

divided by railroad tracks but easy to speculate on what side you lived they'd grab you by the wrist, slam your head against the car & call you a fucking spic the frustration grew over the injustice they've felt constantly congregated, they protested against the corrupted police state threatened by demanding screams of change authority used excessive force without reasoning tear gas was exposed across the streets they felt the risk was worth any arrest or consequence so the community responded with bricks & glass from bottles were shattered across the pavemant Today, Tonight will be different they said the spirit of there beliefs refused to break but at the heat of the conflict an innocent bystander was shot in the head ambulances were notified but they hung up refused to help as he died on that sidewalk the report said the gun shot was unintentional but everyone knows the truth the cop aimed before he pulled that fucking trigger the reason of the demonstration came with some hope an expectation the residents wanted them to improve their inferior living conditions that lacked decent necessities & reflected a life of poverty the cold shoulder was apparent treated as second class citizens based solely off the color of their skin this riot derived from the neglect of this crooked city you can't burn or erase a chapter from this place so I'm screaming to keep the fury from that night alive for the people from my neighborhood & to the families of those who felt defeated

No Love 02:43
when we started, frustrated with unchecked aggression bottled, reaching our own breaking point we felt unrestrained, nothing could take this feeling away but life played out an unpalatable fate we said our painful goodbyes & poured one out for our friend life changes, personal decisions questioned ourselves is this even fucking worth it we kept it together through the hard times & at our worst our friends the Laredo & Valley Crew is what got us through new faces soon became some of the best of friends that I'll never forget no love for South Texas
