1.	Ivory 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Standing tall in your ivory tower Looking down on all of those who serve you Always the selfish, always the deceiver Fear the punishment you know you deserve Tell me something new After we take the brunt Your presence here grows colder With every name you forgot This machine never stops Not to fix broken parts Not to ripen the rot You drag me down with the rest of the lot You deprive us of basic needs then say that we're the priority You brought millions of us in then say that we're the minority So Fuck it I'm done Being a number instead of a name I've lived it, for years And I refuse to feed your fame Standing tall in your ivory tower Looking down on all of those who serve you Always the selfish, always the deceiver Fear the punishment you know you deserve What you've built will soon start to crumble You will lie in a grave made of rubble Tell me something old You love to keep us beneath You strive to drag us down A constant state of defeat You're full of pure corruption Your framework breeds destruction That seems to be your favorite way to function And it's where you reside Where you hold all your pride That the demons arise To make you see the light In the flames that we'll ignite Those you antagonized Will watch you burn as your embers take flight You put us through your trials You spat into our eyes We've been through Armageddon And we will not compromise

Fuck it I was reliant On you and I've had enough I lived with your oppression Couldn't stand who I'd become Halted my progression I needed abscession From your sovereignty And the weight you placed on me And I can't be reliant On your toxic suppliance Expectations never meant for me Well maybe now you'll see You only bred defiance Sat in silence for too long I felt trapped in my own home I had nowhere to go To push forward is to start again The art of living is not knowing when To move on from this or to call it quits To move on from this or to call it quits You preach, in silence Demanding compliance Motivation is misery Refuse to follow the narrative you imposed on me Won't pander to your sensibilities Escape the echo chamber Even now you still linger Not wrapped around your finger I wont follow the leader My own redeemer And I said What I Meant to say to you all these years Worked so damn hard to be your biggest fear And there's nothing you can say to me To discredit what I've done To push forward is to start again The art of living is not knowing when To move on from this or to call it quits To move on from this or to call it quits To live a life under a finger I'm amazed that you still linger Terrified to stand on your own Break the mold so you can go
3.	Heed My Words 03:00	lyrics	buy track
I've said it once and I'll say it again And this time you better heed my words I've said it once and I'll say it again And this time you better fucking listen I've said it once and I'll say it again And you can't pretend you didn't ask for this You lit the match You watched me burn The ashes of a lesson never learned You'll bleed They'll grieve For the false man they thought they knew You'll bleed From the neck up A fate earned by the likes of you You're problematic You're fucking dogmatic The knife in my back was systematic You're problematic You left me stigmatic Can't wash the blood off my hands Traumatic I've had enough Of all of this Cut the ties Web of lies you spun for me Shut your mouth I'm not listening I've said it once and I'll say it again This time I'll bring this to an end I lit the match I watched you burn Now maybe you'll fucking learn You took something from me So now I'll take everything from you And I'll stop at nothing So there's not a damn thing you could do Fuck you
4.	Anxiety 03:08	lyrics	buy track
What have I done to get myself here Fallen in a trap of irrational fear again A padded room inside my head A straight jacket of delusion Nowhere to run as it follows Nowhere to hide as I wallow Nowhere to rest my head as it stabs me in the back again When the walls collapse I'll be the only one inside to watch as they cave in Tear down the walls of this prison Where the prisoners are the victims And you'd think It's not so complicated But I see These walls have eyes, but they talk as harsh as they judge Alone in a crowded room I'd rather fade away then crash and burn Or at least I thought I would But not anymore I won't stand on the sidelines and watch my best days go by I won't lay idle and kiss my peak years goodbye, cuz its time that I Quit looking over my shoulder Refuse to carry this weight any longer And you'd think it isn't complicated But you'd know the pain if you were bred this jaded These walls have eyes, but they talk as harsh as they judge Alone in a crowded room I'd rather fade away then crash and burn Or at least I thought I would But not anymore And it's sad, that I hung On every word you Said, and I thought Your laughter was Torment, in my head I'd be better off Dead, but I'm not Not yet
5.	Life Of Mine 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Trust me I'm doing fine So content with this life of mine Skipping through the fields of lies Avoid the graves in the back of my mind Trust me I'm doing fine So content with this life of mine Don't bother reading the signs Or the grave where honestly lies Cuz its fine Trust me I'm doing fine So content with this life of mine Don't bother reading the signs Or the grave where honestly lies I never needed a helping hand Now this isolation's a curse Been through years of "it is what it is It be like that," but it never fucking works Decades of be a man And momma didn't raise no bitch Has all lead to this I've reached my wits end At the edge of the cliff With no fucks to give Should've pulled me back while you still had a grip Before the rabbit hole became an abyss Became an abyss When the wound still could have been stitched Trust me I'm doing fine So content with this life of mine You skip through the fields of lies Or the grave where honesty lies Cuz its fine Trust me I'm doing fine Out of your mind when I'm out of sight Don't bother reading the signs To the place that withered my pride You're all belligerent toxic symbols So watch your effigy start to dwindle You thought the path for me was set in stone I refuse to put my life on hold Bite... your... tongue Still… your... lungs Bite... your... tongue Cast me away Cast me away, cuz I am never enough You wanted me at my worst A fate i didn't deserve I thought that I was at fault You... haunt... me Fuck it! I'm doing fine So content with this life of mine You skip through the fields of lies Or the grave where honesty lies Cuz its fine Trust me i'm doing fine Out of your mind when I'm out of sight Don't bother reading the signs You draw the line where empathy dies You draw the line where empathy dies
6.	Get Out 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Been stuck for the longest time Trapped in this cycle of mine I lie in the bed that I make But I'll make it right this time Tired of the shame that I felt About time I do things for myself Sick of the cards that I have been dealt I won't take anymore Someone help me get out Of this hell Of this mess that I've made A mindset I cant escape Pull me out Why do I do this to myself This routine repeats Watching days turn to weeks With no control over my life But I'm taking back what's mine What should I say What should I think What should I do now that i finally see the good in me Someone help me get out Of this hell Of this mess that I've made A mindset I cant escape Take me out Put me down Why do I do this to myself Do this to myself Someone help me get out Of this hell Of this mess that I've made A mindset I cant escape Take me out Of this world Someone help me get out Of this hell Of this mess that I've made A mindset I cant escape Take me out Put me down Why do I do this to myself Do this to myself Why do I do this to myself

about

An amalgamation of all the negative emotions and occurrences we've dealt with both as a band and as individuals. This EP is our heaviest and best yet. A new era of Skin Crawl has begun and we hope you'll join us.
