1.	Contaminated Purity 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Pinned to the ground, his hand's down her skirt She's never felt this kind of hurt He's had his way with her and left her to die She doesn't have the strength to cry She can't help feeling that it's all her fault These wretched thoughts never seem to halt The oceans had a wave of a clean existence When will life ever give her a chance To move on from the painful night that haunts The moment when everything went wrong There's just one thing that she can't forget The abysmal touch of contaminated hands I can feel you always around me Rid me of my clarity All I feel is agony Contaminated purity I can feel you always around me Rid me of my clarity All I feel is agony Contaminated purity She can't look up to the sky the same Her life has been altered since that day She's petrified even in her home Why does she feel like she's so alone She continues struggling to cope Constant reminders around her throat She tries to express but always chokes Losing grip on reality she goes Falling further down the rabbit hole There's no telling how far it'll go Because there is only darkness below Inhale the smoke; creating false hope Losing every sense of self-control Just another story left untold I can feel you always around me Rid me of my clarity All I feel is agony Contaminated purity I can feel you always around me Rid me of my clarity All I feel is agony Contaminated purity I wish that I were still me And be all that I could be I won't let you beat me I'm not your contaminated being
2.	Burn Victim (feat. Devon Groat) 04:00	lyrics	buy track
It seems as though you're getting a little too damn close Don't think you're someone that I can't easily dispose The more you speak it's harder for me to remain composed Like a chemical reaction building up to explode Take a step back You don't wanna hear what I have to say You'll get burned If you don't fucking get away At the beginning I was so damn addicted This is something I never could have predicted I think it's better if you give me some distance Before I turn you into a fucking burn victim You have to realize that I'm doing this for your own protection I keep getting closer and closer to the brink I need a moment to take a deep breath and think I'd rather fall off the edge than let you pull me back I'd rather be alone than have a panic attack Take a step back You don't wanna hear what I have to say You'll get burned If you don't fucking get away At the beginning I was so damn addicted This is something I never could have predicted I think it's better if you give me some distance Before I turn you into a fucking burn victim It's hard to feel affection when there's no more connection I will burn you for what you have done You don't deserve a swift death by a gun There is nowhere to hide and no way to run This turned into a game, you thought I'd lose but I won There's something about me Things that God himself wouldn't even want to know What point and place in time Do we take the time to understand the state of mind Of a broken man to become undone This is a pact I made to you The hate that stokes inside will burn right through The fire inside, it feels so real The pain you caused will make you feel, the way you left me The next burn victim
3.	Miss Discipline 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Shame I'm at it again Where do I begin I'm lost from within Miss discipline They all scream at me Begging to use Under my skin Miss discipline I need this so bad Don't want to feel sad Decisions to make Miss discipline Bleeding; why am I screaming Dire need for numbing Help me, I feel so empty Fix me; I need my fix please I cannot save myself from my own desires My sense of self-control is mentally retired Screaming at the damn reflection in the mirror Maybe this time I'll pull the trigger Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me Bleeding; why am I screaming Dire need for numbing Help me, I feel so empty Fix me; I need my fix please Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me Don't test me I cannot save myself from my own desires My sense of self-control is mentally retired Screaming at the damn reflection in the mirror Maybe this time I'll pull the trigger I cannot save myself from my own desires My sense of self-control is mentally retired Screaming at the damn reflection in the mirror Maybe this time I'll pull the trigger
4.	Invisible Wounds 04:31	lyrics	buy track
You pretended to be the victim Acting so coy and so helpless A plan so sick and fucking twisted Your relentless attempts becoming desperate You molested my mind, you made me believe That all of the blame was thrown onto me You wasted all my time with blatant lies and deceit In retrospect, how could I not see Blindfolded by what little good I saw in you Never again will I allow myself to play the fool Psychological trauma caused by years of abuse A golden heart beaten black and blue Manipulative drama; tie my fucking noose I refuse to be your goddamn muse I refuse I refuse I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay It doesn't matter that you left me through my self-decay But the cold and hurt will burn; you always fucking get away I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay I can't It's time to stop living in fairy tales and fables What's left of my heart is held together by staples I can't give you anything when I have nothing left to give My soul has become an endless black abyss I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay It doesn't matter that you left me through my self-decay But the cold and hurt will burn; you always fucking get away I can't Go on this way, I don't feel okay It doesn't matter that you left me through my self-decay But the cold and hurt will burn; you always fucking get away These scars you left me with will never fade They bleed into who I am becoming today Internally bleeding beneath the surface I will forever be a completely different person
5.	Trauma (feat. Taylor Kelly) 04:06	lyrics	buy track
There once was this girl, she did catch my eye Her eyes a tornado; a storm in the sky Her hair long and white, she didn't even try The beauty, the lie; an endless supply What could go wrong What could go wrong When you took my hands, we made our demands By your side I'll stand, 'till our last drop of sand The blood on your hands will scream through my rage Why am I willing to still turn the page With you "Um, hey" 'Hey" "So, um, are you gunna be my girl" "Mmhm" 'Really?" "Yeah, I love you" "I love you too" "We will be together forever" Let's go to this party, you'll meet all my friends From work and from school, the list never ends (slut) The ones you call friends had a story to tell That you're a slutty fucking mess out of hell What could go wrong What could go wrong When you took my hands, we made our demands By your side I'll stand, 'till our last drop of sand The blood on your hands will scream through my rage Why am I willing to still turn the page With you "Uh, hello" "Oh shit, he's home" "Who's here, honey? Why is there a bike out front" "Shit. I'm screwed. I can explain" "Oh, fuck me. I can't believe you! After all we've been through!? He rides a fucking bicycle" "It's... Babe, I'm so sorry" "No, you're just sorry I found out. Fuck" "Please forgive me! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" "No. Fuck this. Fuck you. We're done. Get the fuck out" You're a whore You're a whore You're a whore You're a whore I gave you my heart to hold for safekeeping Now I'll slit your throats while you're both still sleeping I'll paint these walls red while your lips turn to blue While you burn in hell, you'll find something to screw When you took my hands, we made our demands By your side I'll stand, 'till our last drop of sand The blood on your hands will scream through my rage Why am I willing to still turn the page
6.	C U Next Tuesday 03:46	lyrics	buy track
It's been six weeks since I heard your voice last I'm trying my hardest not to live in the past But when you fuck so well, it's hard to forget All those times in bed and how you fucked with my head I can't get you out of my fucking mind Hallucinating you standing in front of me I just want to feel your touch one more time I just want to watch you move your body Back and forth again, over and over Denting the wall with the back of your headboard Your voluntary victim, I'll do whatever you say Knowing that I'd always see you next Tuesday You said that we could still be friends We could still see each other now and again But you haven't bothered to answer your phone I guess you lied to me again; Where did you go It's been six weeks since I heard your voice last I'm trying my hardest not to live in the past But when you fuck so well, it's hard to forget All those times in bed and how you fucked with my head All these reminders of you are all I see I feel like I'm suffering from PTSD Another flashback of tainted memories How did I ever let you manipulate me My hands around your throat, your back against the wall You kept saying if I want it, I could have it all You kept staring at me with that lustful look in your eyes At least we went out with a fucking bang one last time Back and forth again, over and over Denting the wall with the back of your headboard Your voluntary victim, I'll do whatever you say Knowing that I'd always see you next Tuesday It's been six weeks since I heard your voice last I'm trying my hardest not to live in the past But when you fuck so well, it's hard to forget All those times in bed and how you fucked with my head Fuck you, cunt
