Directed by Tom Flynn
LYRICS:
Stop that I’m not playing Pushing buttons Got a screw loose Stop that I’m not playing It ain’t nothing Cutting you loose
Yeah I’m expecting the worst Because you suck at your best There’s nothing tight between us But the noose on your neck Yeah I’m expecting the worst Cause you suck at your best I took the knife from my back And put it into your chest Stop that I’m not playing
You look so paranoid Standing on the edge of nothing It couldn’t be you Couldn’t be you You’re making too much noise Never kept it real with yourself I’m cutting you loose Cutting you loose
Behind all this mess Got you feeding your stress Even though I’m alone hurting Pain is the only thing that ever made me feel worthy You set up these games Do you have any shame We’re not the same You’re just thirsty Typical routines is not really working
Pop this Think I know you gon’ drop it Eyes lit Swinging cause I’m caught up in the past tense Feel lost But you cause up in the nonsense Pushing buttons Got a screw loose Mob shit Cause I feel like ima pop shit I don’t rock with snakes Cause they always on some opp shit Life life ain’t concerned with all your fiction I don’t fuck with people like you
Look at me now Put you under the ground

Bout to sniff it Get dirty widdit Dreaming of all the gimmicks If you never like it then you wanna get the business Stupid widdit cause you’re falling right off the edge Fentanyl 0.2 in the Christmas Fucked us over Save yourself Don’t crossover-over Live the life of a loather Live the life with no closure
Fucked us over Save yourself Don’t crossover-over Never want to be sober Never want to be Sober No more
Keep doing that shit You will never wake up Keep sniffin it up You will never be god
In the subway all by himself He feeling kinda anxious help Found a school bus in his pocket well No sympathy he’s taking the wealth Now he tryna be fake cartel Always skimpin when he use the scale He don’t know what the fuck he sells Isolated he can’t even smell Now his skin is starting to look pale All my friends are dropping just like shells That’s the reason they will never excel Subway dancing fuck it up no health Time to wake up start ringing them bells If that don’t work then you need to yell Since we already in the underground Might as well be in hell
Burn in hell They said burn in hell
Keep doing that shit You will never wake up Keep sniffin it up You will never be god

LYRICS:
All I do is wait Now all I do is wait
Possibly I'm in too deep My psyche is beneath my feet My door is locked but no privacy I got nothing but time and I don't redeem I'm isolated intoxicated Still making excuses I fabricate it Talk to you later Where's the opp or hater I don't believe in me and I don't feel anything
Fuckin' up Wasting away Fucked up today Wasting away
Now all I do is wait Therapists make mistakes It's getting frustrating Can you all feel my pain It feels like judgement day

LYRICS:
Should've shielded and curved you Didn't know what happened Should've made you fall off the face of the earth From the jump done brought you into the slums I've been in the trenches Why you think I don't fuck with bums Now I gotta slap you up again Tryna be the victim innocent Got a little present just for him Gonna be a couple witnesses Defeated pussy boy outdated I'll make you feel hated
Gotta keep'em separated
God hates you now Make you bow down I'm the bad guy Show no mercy
Got a bunch of snakes on my back now Gotta get my money back somehow Bout to bust him in the dome like oh wow He a pussy and he dog food like chow I'll make that boy lick the dirt off my timbs He telling them fibs His jawn gave me dibs I pulled up to his crib Then I made him my bitch He begging and pleading he snitched Keep begging and pleading you snitch
Make you vanish in the blink of an eye You ain't poppin you call opps and you cry Terminate you then I will multiply I'll do it again until I'm satisfied Smiled to your face you're wondering why I faked it was a lie for my personal high Caught you lacking cause you moving wocky so now it's up to me to never waste anymore time Your betrayal was distinctive so When I seen him ima pull up on him what the fuck Now you fucking with a demon You're sucking dick while I'm out here scheming

Lyrics
I feel displeasure It's tearing me apart No lesser than a guesser What's to come who knows I only fuck up and I never grow No words can ever describe this low Anytime you're around me just know that God's gotta go
They're not there for me But I would die for them So please don't blame yourself For my demise again
I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping me to nothing To nothing I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping it's stitching And all these emotions are so damn convincing
No matter where I go the past will always find me I can never change my story You're all just looking blindly And even though I said I'd try While all these bitches fuckin' lie At the end of the day it don't matter we're all gonna die No lesser than a guesser What's to come who knows I only fuck up and I never grow No words can ever describe this low Anytime you're around me just know that God's gotta go That god's gotta go
I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping me to nothing To nothing I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping it's stitching And all these emotions are so damn convincing
Look in the eyes of the person that's hurtin' The feeling the motive the answer uncertain There's no going back now So guess what Don't turn around and act like you give a fuck
I should have never trusted my self I hope that they never know until it's done So you can finally see what has been wrong with me But it's too late I'm already in the eternal dream I don't scream I don't shout I don't bitch I don't cry And the things that I want are never handed to me
I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping me to nothing To nothing I may not be able to fly But I can levitate It's ripping it's stitching And all these emotions are so damn convincing

LYRICS:
So I believe what you think you see But your fears and insecurities will always be your worst enemy Because one impression can turn the one you adore into a poison desiring abnormal creation I can never think straight Cuz she never loved me anyway
I just want you to fade away Because I can't escape my hate Seeing everything in black and grey Because I can't escape my I can't escape my hate
She told me that I was the reason I'm always blaming myself I'm never leaving I'm so weak I'm so beat and I'm freezin' And I fear the empty You pulled the plug And I was never enough I know this isn't my fault But I will take the blame Because I just want to see you and feel you and breathe you and fuck you til our never ending day I hope this lasts forever
I just want you to fade away Because I can't escape my hate Seeing everything in black and grey Because I can't escape my I can't escape my hate
You lied about who you fucked Telling me I was the only one Back up back the fuck up Don't even think about crying The door is already shut
I just want you to fade away Because I can't escape my hate Seeing everything in black and grey Because I can't escape my I can't escape my hate
So I believe what you think you see But your fears and insecurities will always be your worst enemy Because one impression

LYRICS: This is the last confirmation Grabbing and pulling so hard with desperation You are your own revocation I can see your skin bleed with inflammation Creation deflated Born once cremated Your life defeated now I am at a loss And I watch you die Seeing you all cry Baby you are the reason that I keep myself alive
Stay with me Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Stay with me There's just so much to say but I can't get it out Please don't leave Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Don't give up on me Cause I'm obsessive convulsive
I tremble as I watch you lying there slowly fading way I'm picking it up Paid the price but now it's done Getting my eyes on the prize Is it truth or is it lies Creation deflated Born once cremated Your life defeated now I am at a loss And I watch you die Seeing you all cry Baby you are the reason that I keep myself alive
Stay with me Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Stay with me There's just so much to say but I can't get it out Please don't leave Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Don't give up on me
These pieces I'm putting together to bring myself back This life is so full of commitment and it's something that I will always fucking lack I told myself that I'm leaving and never coming back Why did I lie to myself Motherfuckers Why did I lie to myself
Stay with me Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Stay with me There's just so much to say but I can't get it out Please don't leave Because my mind is numb and I can't stop shaking Don't give up on me Cause I'm obsessive convulsive

There were a few candidates of cover songs that we wanted to do, but Denial is the one that most accurately captured where we were coming from at the time. Sevendust were one of the pioneers of the numetal sound, and we felt that it was only fitting to pay tribute to them by putting a modern numetal twist on it.
The lyrics in this song are about the loss of a loved one, and the internal conflicts experienced while coping with this loss. The journey back to normalcy can be a confusing one, and we wanted to capture that confusion with this song.
Around the time of writing this song, I (Jerry-Guitars/Vocals) lost a few family members and a close friend. Writing the lyrics to this song helped me keep my cool. It was almost as if this song was foreshadowing my future.
The live footage in the video was shot at the 2016 New England Metal and Hardcore festival in Worcester, MA, and at Bound By Hatefest in NYC, which was a festival put together to honor the life of Chico Abreu, a friend and fellow musician who passed away at a young age while chasing his dreams. We couldn't have thought of a more fitting song to represent the emotions that filled the air the night of that festival.
Life is unpredictable, and it is short. Let every important person in your life know how much you love them, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
A lifetime of pain won't take away What I've seen and the scars that remain Get out of my motherfucking head Echoing voice that distorts and contorts my thoughts Mind fucked, displaced As I'm hesitating every footstep that I take Bring me back Where am I? What am I? Who is the real me?
I know I seem so different I'll be okay And I'm not alone because you're here with me Now I'm staring in the mirror Who's this person I see I don't recognize the stranger that's staring at me
You thought you could win so easily Understand I'm stronger and you'll never get rid of me We are locked - we are one in the same Visions leaving us exposed on the edge Don't know who is living in my head Get out Get the fuck out
Why do I seem so different Please go away And I'm not alone because you're here with me Now I'm staring at the mirror Who's this person I see? I don't recognize this stranger that's staring at me
I can't take this
Set me free ×3 Scaring memories with this shard in hand Set me free ×3 [ouegh] [fucking charging up his scream] Shattered mirror no longer reflects this burden But I still hear you piercing my thoughts
A lifetime of pain won't take away I wonder if I can be set free Get out of my motherfucking head Still existent Who is the one controlling Confused hurting In this never ending cycle of torment and pain Bring me back Where am I? What am I? Who is the real me?
And I'm not alone because you're here with me Now I'm staring in the mirror Who's this person I see I don't recognize the stranger that's staring at me
And I'm not alone because you're here with me Now I'm staring at the mirror Who's this person I see I don't recognize the stranger that's staring at me

Especially when personal emotions come into play. Within the past year we have lost some close people to the consequences of addictions, including Jerry's father. I can still remember how distraught and at the same time motivated he was when he asked me to write a song upon this topic. No matter how personal it might be, he didn't want to leave anything in the dark. We want this song to be a kind of warning or wake up call for those that know anyone struggling with addictions or if you're the one struggling with addictions yourself. Regardless of how minuscule or serious the struggle might be, we want you to know that you are not alone. We genuinely hope this song can help anyone relate, and most importantly, overcome.
Jerry: When we wrote the music for this song we had NO idea what we wanted the lyrics to be about. I ended up getting into a serious scuffle with my father that ended in us saying things that neither of us ever had a chance to apologize for. I wanted to write a song that expressed how his hangups made me feel, a song for anyone who felt the same way as me, a song they can hold on to so they don't feel as alone as I did growing up around this disease (my father wasn't the only addict I grew up around). After his passing, I didn't want to release this song because I was afraid the world would view my dead father as a monster, which he was the total opposite of. Flawed, yes... but who isn't? A demon, no, but he had his own, and even through that he was the absolute most loving person he could be. But to me, this song is about an issue bigger than us, it's an epidemic, and its words need to be heard by anyone affected by this disease.

You've finally reached the bottom Your visions obscured Nothing seems to matter - you're invincible No cares, no worries, because it's all just temporary I live-the-real-deal, you're only just pretend
Would you prefer that i yell Maybe then you might understand There is no need to be afraid Gun cocked with a finger on the trigger There's no fear within me Believe me, believe this There's no need for you to front and play the part Be real - official - step your game up son
Why do you act throughout your life Open up your eyes- you'll get what you deserve (This is my ode to you. I promise one day you'll get what's owed to you) Why do you act throughout your life Open up your eyes- you'll get what you deserve
You continue to cry you're brought up through hardships in everything you smell see hear touch and taste But i can see right through, you live your life just acting - You're fake - Calling you out right to your face Lying and disengaged from your true self Pretend to be something you're not...So would you prefer that i yell
Maybe then you might understand What it feels like to be yourself Gun shot- middle finger always lingers Theres no fear within me Believe me, believe this Its too late for me to turn and let you run Don't beg - forgiveness - step your game up son
I've seen things that would make most men cringe Thinking you know struggle when you haven't seen a thing This is my world, you wouldn't last a day There is no room for pathetic fakes ...for pathetic fakes
Claim you bleed the hardships i live Counterfeit you don't know a thing And I'm done
