Counterparts - MMVII Lyrics
Why do I need to justify my opinion, after all that I've seen and done?
And year after year, we give our everything to get nothing in return
The time has come for things to change
We don't need your adoration, but we demand your r...
Counterparts - Carpe Diem Lyrics
To quote from Whitman:
"O me! O life!
Of the questions of these recurring
Of the endless trains of the faithless
Of cities fill'd with the foolish
What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer
That you are here
That life exists, and ...
Counterparts - Thieves Lyrics
There are no rewards for consuming the wounded
Starved for an easy kill, keep your hunger at bay
I will use your flesh to keep her warm
God would break character if he could for a chance to spit in your face
Guardian angels couldn't k...
Coilguns - The Morning Shower Lyrics
You can save it all
Not all hope is gone
Out of range for now
You can save it all
In the morning shower
Make a list of past successes
Be the captain of your ship
The master of your fate
Defeat, defeat, defeat, defeat d...
Counterparts - Wither Lyrics
I am more than familiar with feeling empty
The conduit, I allow myself to drain
My mind is the trench in which I will be buried
Watch me wither away
Put me out of my misery
I can only find solace in sleep
A sub-conscious sanctuary
I am lon...
Counterparts - Slave Lyrics
If I allow the light to leave my eyes
I will never see again
The thoughts disintegrate into cognitive pollution
Abandoning my body, renouncing my existence
Show me the meaning of happiness
Trapped inside this nightmare
But I haven't s...
Counterparts - Optimist Lyrics
I never asked for anyone to listen
And I never asked for anyone to take my words to heart
I've let myself become a target based on nothing more than expression
I will not lie to others, and I won't lie to myself
If you're sea...
Counterparts - I Am No One Lyrics
Every fucking day
I have to deal with the pressure I put on myself, to outdo myself
But I can't ask for help
I can't admit I'm weak
I'm going back on my words, I'm going back on who I used to be
Every day I wage a w...
Counterparts - Lost Lyrics
As far back as I can remember
The failure was always there
It was the only real companion that I have ever had
Not meant to live like this
Consciousness is nothing more than a vicious cycle
And I am being bled dry by my conviction
I'v...
Counterparts - To The Grave Lyrics
Struggling to remain rooted in the depths of positivity
While modern day eats away at the foundation around me
And nothing that I do or say seems to rid me of this cynicism
This isn't how I hoped I'd ever feel, and I will not allo...
Counterparts - Pedestal Lyrics
I'm looking back on those I once looked up to
And I can't help but feel that I'm looking down
Everyone I've ever admired has left me with nothing
Not even a memory
I remember growing up, and yearning to be just like you...
Knocked Loose - Billy No Mates Lyrics
(feat. Brendan Murphy of Counterparts)
Maybe I'm the one who's so full of shit
Point the finger
Reject the blame
Dig deep in a heart that breaks
No spine to be found
Pick me up from the ground
Maybe I'm the one who's ...
Counterparts - Ghost Lyrics
Born of two; raised by four
I guess I took it all for granted
And only three remain
Even though you're wounded
I know that you're still here
I don't blame you
You just can't face the change
We spend our golden years as...
Counterparts - Reflection Lyrics
I've never told this to anyone
I'm just trying to move past
But lately it seems that my insecurities got the best of me
And I'm no longer in control
No one should ever have to feel like this
To feel like me
And even though th...
Counterparts - Debris Lyrics
Everything ends
At least that's what we hope for
Plagued by our past
And we're doomed to repeat ourselves
Afraid of the thoughts that dance in revolutions
And circle the mind like a snake
Binding me
I'm just trying to feel s...
Counterparts - Thank God Lyrics
I want to thank you for never being there
Your absence has forced me to find my own way
While others are led through life with a blindfold, I can see clearly the rain will wash me away
I reject the thought of a god
When all we see is the w...
Counterparts - Rope Lyrics
Portraits of hope reflecting of a blade that bears my name
Hanging inches from my head
There is no light bright enough to bring my shadow back to life
A presence that the fortunate weren't predisposed to feel
My seance of surrender wil...
Counterparts - Nothing Left To Love Lyrics
Counterparts - Burn Lyrics
I've grown accustomed to losing sleep
Sweep me off my feet
Dig your nails into my wounds and pull
A lucid dream
Where my chest will collapse from the weight of a fictitious ghost
Tear through me, sacrifice me to your sea
With broken ar...
Counterparts - Arms Like Teeth Lyrics
Compare our dependence to predator and prey
A parallel engraved into our souls by the work of broken hands
(Contradiction carved in canvas)
(And our nail-beds ache from scratching at the surface)
Coerced by your creation
Finding foundation...
Counterparts - Your Own Knife Lyrics
Like Pacific - Retail Hell Lyrics
(feat. Brendan Murphy of Counterparts)
It pays the lowest wage
Its considered a job
10x10 foot cage
They say its better than the rest
I'm a part time slave at best
Over worked and under-paid
No matter what you say
I always end up wro...
Counterparts - Outlier Lyrics
I live with the awareness of my own seclusion
Existence fueled by separation
A war I will not win
Embracing only alienation
To suffer is to abandon the only home I've ever had
Outlier
I don't belong here
The present state of exis...
Counterparts - Jumping Ship Lyrics
As time passes by, I feel everything changing but me
I will not feel the sting of defeat
I've watched days become months, become years
And I've lost all faith in progression
I will never allow myself to exchange all my morals for ...
Counterparts - Uncertainty Lyrics
Though I look forward to my future, just know I'm scared to death
After all is said and done, I won't have a clue what to do next
Will I struggle to find the answer?
Will I take an easy way out?
Or will I find the strength inside ...
Counterparts - Monument Lyrics
I am a desperate attempt at putting my exhaustion into words
Cut my tongue out of my mouth
It's about as useless as my lungs
I have nothing left in me to give
I am a monument for those who live and breathe in empty space
Put a fuckin...
Counterparts - Decay Lyrics
The grave welcomes you with open arms
Last light escapes, last breath remains
Circling the body
Brushing past the skin and bone
It cradles you, your holy manger
Born into ruin, we feel withdraw
Death is your procreator, your predecessor
Fr...
Counterparts - Tragedy Lyrics
Take comfort in the cadence of the bond we share
A visionary born and raised to see with an unbiased sense of sight
We pause just for a second to properly embrace the radiance
We are the anointed dipped in filth
Taught to cower in fear of b...
Counterparts - Cursed Lyrics
We ache to be transparent
We run from the "open" arms;
The facade of something greater than ourselves
And we're left to coexist with infestation
Our history is cursed
Through the past, present, and future
If we're creat...
Counterparts - Soil Lyrics
Tragedy is all we have in common
And at times we allow it to swallow us whole
Drawing the marrow from our misfortunes
To ignite the fire that's inside
Inhale the smoke from the burn that leaves you breathless
Breathing life into the li...
Counterparts - Stillborn Lyrics
A calm rushes over me
As I picture my corpse, ill-fated with the faults I can't escape
A sigh of relief, a sigh of relief used to signify the blight
That infects the last few fragments of my skull
Sometimes I swear I think that I'...
Counterparts - Witness Lyrics
Expose me for all that I am
The man behind the masquerade
I am my own false witness
Fact resides solely in the depths of my mind
And will I ever really let it come to surface?
You only see what I want you to see
And you believe all that yo...
Counterparts - Choke Lyrics
Congregate what little ounce of decency is left
And gather enough courage to invoke contractions in your vocal chords
Admission of guilt through confrontation
I've had to chisel every lie out of your mouth
And after all this time I...
Counterparts - Withdrawal Lyrics
I bask in familiar flesh with no shelter to call my own
A sacrifice for my sickness, I'll dig a grave for those I love
I release the teeth from my jaw
Knowing that I will miss the pain when you take shelter in the mouth of another
You ...
Counterparts - Sinking Lyrics
This is the only thing I have worth holding onto
I have condensed my past to fit the lines on the pages
That no one will ever see
But still I fight, day after day
'Cause this is all I've ever wanted my life to be and I push everyt...
Counterparts - Compass Lyrics
The weight came and went and took my will to live
Spoiled by defeat, forced to drown in what's left of me
That's when breathing became routine
And I could feel myself fading
No direction, I am a compass
Constantly spinning
Consta...
Counterparts - Cherished Lyrics
Counterparts - Thread Lyrics
Your words grew cold and incoherent and I'm
Searching for a fever that could
Lift me to the border of dementia
My eyes are tired from surveying everything we used to share
And I would sew them shut if I had any strength inside
I rememb...
Counterparts - Fragile Limbs Lyrics
Dissolving in small oceans
Responsible for concentrating currents
To match a pulse in us that no longer exists
Resurfacing only when we're running out of air
Apprehensive from our absent-heartedness
Spitting blood from confidence conf...
Counterparts - No Servant Of Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In you no passion bleeds
A shell that's thin and withering
Did you misplace your flame
In pursuit of a new hell to help you heal or burn the same?
Dedication makes a martyr out of me
While you're afraid to offer flakes ...
