about

A true posse cut with ideas from everyone building this track around a ravaged world filled with monsters of all sorts.

lyrics

Can't look
Can't breath
Can't hide
Can't see
Can't fight
Can't flee
Can't shake the weight of cross town kings

...

All the holes in this graveyard are way too empty
Pour some chaos on this shit man
We gotta break that motherfuckin levi
Monsters all up in the gutters
Yeah we got 'em running all over the city
Cover your eyes if you're prone to get queasy
'Cause this ain't gonna be too pretty
Running 'em down into the ground
Releasing all the hell hounds
Backing 'em up way too much
Closing in from all around
They can smell, they can see
Everything inside of me
Surrounding, astoundingly outnumbered
Can't fight the feed

...

For moon years in days, I've been waiting for the years, that that crumbling would finally reach my ears

For hours inside minutes, through the slow sound of crickets, I finally will sink into the storm

I'm not a lover nor a saint, I'm a third rate prison gate, an alcoholic bitter tasting heart

But I have a half smile on my lips, and two revolvers on my hips, I'm a harmony that cannot be resolved

You're a dark spot on the floor, the creaking of the door, you're a harlot foaming at the mouth

The wind that hits my eyes, pushes your will to the side, shattering like a glass mask on the steps

So scream the lie you told me, rip those ribbons through me coldly, colossus is bleeding at the door

So unless you'd rather drown fold up your paper crown, and leave it where you pissed yourself to death

Because I'm an arch-angel not a hunter, I'm a shiver of her glory, I'm a growing conqueror of myself

So believe, believe in something else

...

Don't you let 'em up and don't you ever let 'em breathe
Don't you let 'em take us over
Never let 'em free
Take 'em down one at a time
Steal back the fucking streets
Kings of all survivors salvation within our reach
Now we have a vision got a future and a goal
Don't look back, nah, hit the road
We spread like sickness
Pass that cross
We play like buzzards
Melt the frost
We flow like rivers and we sleep like thieves
We burn like fires and we rule like kings
What's that? Up top, we got a breach?
Man, we're fine; just follow my lead

...

Turning to face myself
Stay within these lines
Forcing the smile
Dragging the mile
The courage
My dreams
Now I'm waiting for you
You, you're waiting for me
Let's take a look
If we could
My heart stops
Should of stopped me where I stood
Where is your glory now?
Where is the end for you?
We have no reason
We just want the truth

...

Running 'em down into the ground
Releasing all the hell hounds
Backing 'em up way too much
Closing in from all around
They can smell, they can see
Everything inside of me
Surrounding, astoundingly outnumbered
Can't fight the feed

...

Can't look
Can't breath
Can't hide
Can't see
Can't fight
Can't flee
Can't shake the weight of cross town kings
