SLAVES Routine Breathing LYRICS
album: "Routine Breathing" (2015)
Downing In My Addiction
What a crying shame
I can't escape these haunted hallways
The ghost of myself
And everything I love
And pushed away
Come hell or come high water
I'm miserable as sin
And this position I find myself in
It's never dead
Oh, so they say
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Burdens so heavy everyday it becomes more clear
Drowning in my addiction
Drowning in my addiction
I try and stand strong but I always give in
Wish I could escape myself
This evil intent, evil intent
To kill what I love
Come hell or come high water
I'm miserable as sin
And this position I find myself in
It's never dead
Oh, so they say
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Burdens so heavy everyday it becomes more clear
Drowning in my addiction
Drowning in my addiction
This vicious cycle comes full circle
But I'm still here
And I never knew love
Cause happiness is fair
Cause happiness is fair
So they say
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Burdens so heavy everyday it becomes more clear
Drowning in my addiction
Drowning in my addiction

Burning Our Morals Away
They say it's hot in the spotlight, too much for some
So enjoy the shade
Cause your sparks will fade
Oh me? I'm doing just fine
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
They said it was over, they said I grew colder, they said it was over
Cause we are, we are the real ones
Will we refuse to run and hide?
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
(Cause we are)
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned
Let's sing in a city of ruins
Walk on through the trail of dirt
Call it justice or call it
Call it justice or call it revenge
So love, have we suffered enough?
So now we kill what we love
Tore myself apart
Before, before anyone else could
Cause we are, we are the real ones
Who will refuse to run and hide
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
Cause we are
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned
Fighting fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned
Tore myself apart
Before anyone else could
Tore ourselves apart
To find out who we are
Cause we are, we are the real ones
Who will refuse to run and hide
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
Cause we are
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

Death Never Lets Us Say Goodbye
Try to remain whole as we spiral out of control
The weight of the world takes its toll
There’s gotta be a reason I’m still breathing
I’m still here
Screaming “Take me!“
I should just bite the bullet
Taking aim at everything we love
Take me!
Oh, the thirst for power leaves us so devoured
Surviving myself
It’s hard to make sense of this mess
We can’t high five death
We know better than that
Still we pushed to the edge
I’m struggling with the fact
That I’m still left
But people have died for less
Screaming “Take me!“
I should just bite the bullet
Taking aim at everything we love
Take me!
Oh, the thirst for power leaves us so devoured
Surviving myself
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?
Screaming “Take me!"
I should just bite the bullet
Take away that everything we love
Take me
Oh, the thirst for power leaves us so devoured
Surviving myself
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?
The writings on the wall
Why not me? Why not me?

Running Through The !6! With My Soul
Chatter, no self-esteem
Preserving me, could not believe
The way that you have treating me
So convinced yourself of your own worth
Dying inside, waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, so far gone
You said, you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be me again
Suppressed by the need to chance
And waiting
Maybe waiting's not working out
Maybe it's time to turn around
And finally walk, walk, walk on the ground
Cause you know who you are
Dying inside waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, I'm so far gone
So far gone, so far gone
You said, you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be it 'til the end
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Your cries hold strong through the night
I'm on my knees begging with all my might
(Dying inside, dying inside)
Your cries hold strong through the night
Tell me now I'm gonna win this fight
(Dying inside, dying)
You said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be me again
You said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend...

Winter Everywhere
(feat. Tilian Pearson)
They tell me hold on
But pain like this he suffers so long
And truth be told
If we ever did where would you be (where would you be)
It’s just the blame that you aim to
Even all the times I sang to just to keep you holding on
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
If you want it could be my fault
I could be your masochistic scapegoat lover
I tore us apart,
No way we can take it back
I lose my part for nothing
Lonely summers killing me because
There’s still a fire when I think about you
I try to drown it but I know it’s no use
Nobody does it like the way we use to
It’s just the blame that you aim to
Even all the times I sang to just to keep you holding on
And all these moments with you that make me feel like I’m brave
Please stop
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I got the message you got the message
Now that we’re all alone
I got the message you got the message
You’re never coming home
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far
I wanna go back to the days in our car
Where we sang the loudest by far...

One God
The farther I go, the further you get away from who we really are
I choose a different route, a different path in life
Praised by many, yet still labeled an outcast
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
Make me out to be the bad guy
How long can I wear the blame?
Sick of feeling wrong
Why do they judge me all the same?
Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself
to the ones who will never, never understand
Who will never
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
You can root for the villain, I'll take that title,
I'll take the heat now and be your rival
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
