1. Zero Hour
2. Bitter
3. In Shambles
4. A Few Dollars Short
1. Zero Hour
Hold my breath and brace myself for the fall to come
The fear of whats behind the door has stricken me numb
These years so short and unfullfilled they sure wont be missed
The source of all this anguish will soon cease to exist
Bring on the dawn
I can't wait any longer
Joys come and gone, been left without for far too long
Bring on the judgement
Trial by liars
Branded lament, guilty as charged
My will is broken
Nothing left to say
Can't have this hanging over my head one more day
Show me your guided path and where you'll make your mark, I'll gladly douse your light and leave you in the dark
Time's come for my final failure
Scars now bleeding tell all my tales
Redemption can't save me now
Confessions an inch out of reach
I'm left with only one choice
I'm out of options, out of time, buried in heavy regrets
Done with shallow words and run of my empty threats
My time is running out
Just like my patience, hope, my dreams and everything I've ever worked for
Just one more chance
To prove me wrong and end my bitter fucking ways
No more stalling
The hours near
Think you can help?
Pull the trigger
Between the eyes
Right through the heart
Step right on up
Tear me apart
Preparing myself didn't help when the rug was pulled out from underneath
I've lost my mind, my hope and soul
Hell...I've lost it all
My single greatest crime was relying on those who I knew would fail
You want something done right, you gotta do it yourself
My time is up
2. Bitter
Well, if id have known the consequences
i wouldve stayed away
who knew those blurry choices would follow me untill this day
it makes me sick how you hide behind a force fed smile
as if hiding behind your teeth would make your time worthwhile
you stink of ignorance, your dripping with lies
not like it helps from keeping me from seeing through your disguise
it makes my blood boil to see such guilt free laughter
but when you know the truth, you wont be smiling after
wipe that fuckin grin off your face
this is nothing to smile about
theres so much more than you ever knew
its time to choke down more than you can chew
there are no answers to all your questions
and nothing ever really helps
weather the storm, they'll only be another
dawn of the new day is just like any other
hopes and dreams, they both burn fast
and in case you were wondering, you came in last
hope is a lie, and your faith will kill you
you wont hesitate now, will you?
as im sure were all aware
we all got our crosses to bear
but as reality sets in
your patience starts to get real thin
so clutch at straws or some just cause, a reason to stay alive
you must know by now theres really no reason to survive
know your purpose here
it should sink in by now
its been made very clear
no use in shedding tears
say your goodbyes
farewell, so long
no one here believes
no one here belongs
3. In Shambles
Hurry up and pour me a drink already
i need a shot or two to keep my hands steady
suckin down the cheap wine on the hair of the dog
double fistin dollar beer and slammin down grog
hope for better days gone right out the door
cause night aint over till im shakin on the floor
cant seem to get these spiders off me
they're thirsty for more and more
left in such a blur, nothing seems real, ive failed again, i cant see through the midst of my drunken rambles, its clear to all but me, im in shambles
Staring off into nothing
I don’t know where I am again
Lost track of all that’s around me
Trade my health for another runaround
Wearing the scent of rot gut whiskey
Eyes always at crescent wane
out of sight, out of minds the way to go
otherwise im sure id go insane
nothing can save me now
my backs against the floor
indifference takes its toll
when its rains it pours
thrown all my aspirations to the wind
got nothing to cherish or to call my own
blind to my dealings and lost inhibitions
i suffer more than ive ever shown
i can feel my insides rot
raise my glass to those living when i am not
no hope for better days for me
im losing everything i got
4. A Few Dollars Short
Waking up at the crack of dawn
I aint seein the sun today
working my hands raw
for a boot in the ass and lousy pay
no room to get cut slack
ive gotta keep clothes on my broken back
All i know is failure
I've wandered too far off of track
uncertain, unwilling
dont wanna sing the same old song
each days more unfulfilling
another chance to prove im wrong
theres nothing i can do
to change your stubborn mind
cant you see im trying
or are you that fucking blind?
tremors in my fingers
tell me the days comin to an end
pour on my funeral, baby
no plans to make amends
i have my share of sins
that i still pay for till this day
take everything ive ever had
nothing i own is mine alone
you've taken all ive ever known
ive given every ounce of patience a man can have,
and gotten back every excuse in the book,
ive tried and tried to keep my life from crumbling at the touch,but it seems like im just asking for too fucking much
Given all that I thought I had, but I'm still (just a few dollars short)
Given all that I've ever had, but im still just a few dollars short
