The Worst of Us - 565 @TheWorstofUs

The Worst of Us Back at the bottom
I've fallen beneath the model
Of what I wanted to be
In the mirror is the enemy

565 degrees deep in my lungs
Burns my throat but a fraction
As I burn the ones I love

I will return what I have taken
Before I'm forsaken
Dig deep

In the darkness
Grab a hold
What was once dead
Pull it out of me

It's almost like I see through my reflection
With no recollection
A creature living in my skin
Cutting out my oxygen
Tearing my black heart open
Spilling out every regret
What a fucking mess this is

If I don't bury you now
Then you're taking me down
Taking me down with you

You're dragging this out
Running your mouth
Empty like your hollow apology
You're taking the life and ripping it out of me

Recognize I've cut the ties
You have disobeyed me
Far too many times before now
Monster in my head
Stranger living in my chest
But I am in control

Cold sweat
My shaking hands
Dig their nails through the dirt of the grave I lay in
Cut back and crawl to the edge
Of the last glass coffin that I'm escaping

What's it to you?
What's it to you huh?
Nothing to prove nothing to lose but
My mind is blistering
If you think this is it you've got another thing coming
Freedom Rings

Acid welling up
Cold sweat is shivering down my spine
Midnight
Panic stricken almost dead now
I cannot cauterize the wounds I have sustained now
I can only bleed
Cut you out like you did me
And what was once dead
I'll pull it out of me

If I don't bury you now
Then you're taking me down
Taking me down with you

You're dragging this out
Running your mouth
Empty like your hollow apology
You're taking the life and ripping it out of me

Recognize I've cut the ties
You have disobeyed me
Far too many times before now
Monster in my head
Stranger living in my chest
But I am in control

Feel the flesh peel from my chest
I'm moving on
You're giving in
To what you want
Never again
Will you hold me back
From what I'm meant to be

The Worst of Us - Wring Me Out

The Worst of Us 2022-09-03 | No Rights!

Strip me of my motivation
Trick another motherfucker
Into his descent
Capsize into the abyss
And at the bottom of the barrel
Feel the violence in your grip

Tripped up
Locked and loaded
Chained to the tradition
Of the life you're dying for
Your indecision
Dropping cold and lifeless to the floor

Repetition
Over
Over again
No ambition
Until
Your hearts content

Contradiction
Underneath the skin
Repetition
Who do you call your friend?

False possession
Profits from your motive
Open up and let it go
Taken aback by your
Backtracked path
You made me walk alone

Bear the weight
Of everything you hate
Name the face of all your mistakes
Call the shots you fired into me
Hold your heart
And pull mine away

Wring me out
And leave me dry
(Cracked open, leave me burnt beneath the sun)
Hold me up
In the dead air
To lag behind
(Relocate what you left undone)
Soak my soul
In the blood of your sacrifice
(What you took for granted)
What you give
You may lose in another life
(Not again)

False prophet
The love that you lost
An example of the difference
Between price and cost of
Your vision
Hope for the odds
To be stacked in the cracks
Of your future outcome

Cast away
Remind me why you came
To the place where you set up our fate
Face the shame
The redemption you reclaim
Shall remain
In the look on your face

Never meant to know whats left unsaid
Make your peace with your discontent
I will hold my ground above this deadweight
Break into the open

Wring me out
And leave me dry
(Cracked open, leave me burnt beneath the sun)
Hold me up
In the dead air
To lag behind
(Relocate what you left undone)
Soak my soul
In the blood of your sacrifice
(What you took for granted)
What you give
You may lose in another life
(Not again)

This is not your moment
You're exposed to what you thought you'd always own
Kiss this shit goodbye
Your only hope
Is in all that you've ever known

Repetition
Contradiction

Wring me out
And leave me dry
(Cracked open, leave me burnt beneath the sun)
Hold me up
In the dead air
To lag behind
(Relocate what you left undone)
Soak my soul
In the blood of your sacrifice
(What you took for granted)
What you give
You may lose in another life
(Not again)

The Worst of Us - To Be Alive

The Worst of Us 2022-09-03 | There's a hole in the ground
That i've dug with your grudge
And have been buried in a thousand times
When I cover it up
There's never enough dirt left for me to bury mine
And all the muddied implications
Implemented on this epitaph
Are fading into blurry light
Blind as i'm binding all the hate
That I have left in my heart
Together with the weight that I am leaving behind

There is nothing here to humanize your soul
I would take control

If I could tell you that I
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down

You sang to close to the sun
Couldn't take the heat
So you let your ambitions freeze
Now you try to take mine from me
Trying to steal my energy
Slipped through the cracks
And now you're falling for hundreds of miles
Failed like you had when I once reached for your number to dial
Can't let you down while you're stuck in the ground
Because i'm above that now
And i'll rise to new heights without you

You who had brought me to dark days
To battle my demons in all the worst ways
I could hold the weight of the world with my name
I could show what I can't say

If I could tell you that I
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down

You sang too close to the sun
Scuffed up your grief
And pretended to run
You blamed it all on your blood
But the birthrights been bruised
The damage is done
You sang too close to the sun
Sunk to the earth
For the vultures to come take your body
Now the damage is done
Now the damage is done

Who are you to make me choose?
Between the light I hold in my hands
And a toxic little bitch

If I could tell you that I (Tell you that I)
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive (Right to be alive)
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down

The Worst of Us - SAVAGE

The Worst of Us 2022-09-03 | You think you're savage

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
Thinking you're gonna bag this
But you can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
But you'll never fuckin bag this
You can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

We started from the bottom
We'll make our way to the top
This ain't no MGK, BMTH or Slipknot ripoff
It shall be hysterical when your next record flops
Remember that you'll never be incredible so fucking stop

Fuck your situations
Excuses excuses
Lazy little bitch
Thats why I'm winnin and you are losin
The root of the issue is what you're choosin
I've been ripping the cage off
Cannot be slain off
Born with the brain of a titan
Keep watching

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
Thinking you're gonna bag this
But you can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
But you'll never fuckin bag this
But you can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

I'll bury my fortune under rocks
You be a force of habit
I'll be a force of nature
I'm making my name
You're making it up
I'm a dose of fucking thunder
Guess the lightning struck twice
This is my only vice
Can't get enough

Sick the motherfuckin dogs on me
Run for your life
Got no spine
You'll never catch me please
Smile and wave
Because theres nothing you can say
When you worship me but run your mouth the second I walk away
Fuck
This is a painless severance
You'll never learn your lesson
Shove it down your throat
Til the blood is flowing
Fade with the wind
I keep controlling
Burn whats left
Laugh at your descent
Vermin

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
Thinking you're gonna bag this
But you can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

But you still have no talent
You think you're savage
You have advantage
But you'll never fuckin bag this
But you can't have it
So stand back bitch
Lemme do it like this
I ain't ever gonna miss

Burn it to the ground
I won't make amends
Bite the fucking curb
Collapsing your vision
We are not the same
This is in my veins
Born with the brain of a titan

The Worst of Us - BAKI

The Worst of Us 2022-09-03 | If I could do it all again
I never would and that’s a fact
I will exist with the noise
Cuz catch what I’m casting at

Cave the gates in
Isolate
Can’t see straight
When I fly
Full speed like a freight train

Spittin’ like I swallowed kerosene
light the match
Because nothing is scaring me
Have some faith in me
Like my name is Jeremy
Mackinnon you cannot catch me Embarrassing

Because I rise above
Everything against me currently
Stacking up
The Firstborn survives
They come for me
I’m waiting patiently
For you neck
I’m gonna get my cut

All in
Sit still
Stay shy
(I’ll take the world upon its knee)
All in
Sit still
Stay shy
(I’ll stay what you wish you could be)

All in
I’m dodging your baby bullets
And building an empire
While you settle as a trend
Kingpin
I’m carrying armies
You’re carrying sharpies
And begging me for validation
Until it’s mine
I’ll take the world upon it’s knee
Sit still, stay shy
I’ll stay what you wish you could be

What did you think this is
Coming at your throat with a rusty shiv
I gotta right to live
I gotta fight to win
Pull up with the homies get your face pushed in
Yeah, bitch
You ain’t the industry standard
I am the premium,
Damage
Can’t be repaired
I’ll put you to sleep
Like you wearing pajamas
I am the hammer
Get it?

Corruption exposed through
Malignant seeds that your sowing
My hatred peaking, growing
Teeth stained red, the blood is flowing
Die while I witness
You fucking sickness
A vermin
You suffer cuz you deserve it
I serve this cuz you never learned it

All in
I’m dodging your baby bullets
And building an empire
While you settle as a trend
Kingpin
I’m carrying armies
You’re carrying sharpies
And begging me for validation

Until it’s mine
I’ll take the world upon it’s knee
Sit still, stay shy
I’ll stay what you wish you could be

I want to taste defeat no one can give it to me

This is What you should expect from me
I’ve given everything
Yes you’re blind to the light in your minds eye talk a lot a shit like a bitch
Imma drive by
Such unwise overcomplication
I want to taste defeat
No one can give it to me

The Worst of Us, ALEX - GLORY

The Worst of Us 2022-09-03 | Locked in the matrices
Undeserving I’ll gracefully
Tell you Why you don’t deserve respect
In this single century
It’s cuz Karma bites back
From character that you lack
You told me it wouldn't happen
And you hate me with a (passion)
Understand that the difference is clear
You can’t match this
Lit up the east coast like the gasoline to a match stick
we had this
While you were crying on your mattress
Robbing naive kids and bands from every sad kid
(Walk away) delete the evidence like it was magic
cry to all your homies about how I’m just a mad bitch
Im just a savage
No one listens to you cap it
Ive had enough just look at what we have established
Bask in glory
Do you feel that
This is you
Unraveling decomposing before
(my eyes have seen)
Spinning and cutting
The method unethical
(What you leave)
Spitting and winning
the message im sending tho
(You deserve to be isolated)
Blood in your veins
Wishing nothing but to stay
I'm reacting by surpassing
Every standard that you place
A machine exists inside your mind
That you cannot erase
I'm the fire that got put out inside you
Now catch the flames
Blinded by surpassing
Every standard that you place
When i'm past beyond that light
They will remember that I faced
Every pussy bitch that said i wasn't capable to play
At the high stakes gate
Now listen closely when I say
You better bet on me
I've witnessed more failure than madness
I've killed myself, burned up and rose up
Right from the ashes
Look at me
Say my name
Catch the flames you fucking bitch
I've had enough just look at what we have established
Do you feel that
This is you
Unraveling decomposing before
(my eyes have seen)
Spinning and cutting
The method unethical
(What you leave)
Spitting and winning
the message im sending tho
(You deserve to be isolated)
This is you unravelling, decomposing before my eyes
Have seen what you leave
You deserve to be isolated
This is you unravelling, decomposing before my eyes
You fuckin bitch

The Worst of Us - Existential Days

The Worst of Us 2019-12-06 | Stuck in the backtrack of my past
Taking two steps forward and three steps back
Living my life staring at the hourglass
Thinking how much longer til my relapse?
Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment
Was i ever built to last?

Misery makes madness
Like the fire from the matchbook
Set ablaze this house
And leave my secrets
Wandering the halls

Searching for an exit
Scratching fingers on the walls
Praying pill after pill will save me from my downfall
Searching for a fix reaching nothing but the gun
Feeling my final breath escaping from my lungs

Cannot escape this place i'm destined to die here
These existential days lead me to my worst fear
I find my company in misery
And now this is slowly killing me

Temptation tricks the mind of an empty soul
Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment
Was i ever built to last?

Ash and dirt is all I’ll ever need to fix my rotting soul
Trading in my love for poison
Selling out my will to live

Break apart what’s left I’m tryna take it
Block out this worthless waste of life I’ve lived and fuckin erase it
I cannot get the guilt out of my mind I cannot face it
I’ve betrayed everyone I love and I now I cannot fake it

Cannot escape this place i'm destined to die here
These existential days lead me to my worst fear
I find my company in misery
And now this is slowly killing me

Temptation tricks the mind of an empty soul
Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment
Was i ever built to last?

I was never the one to pull the strings
Gave my everything, but you couldn't see
The potential growth beneath the seams
Of this mending heart inside of me

I swear i'll make a better man
Better Than I've Ever Been
Just to prove that i can take a stand
Bow my head and be proud of who I am

You let me go
You laid me low

I was never the one to walk away
Gave you my best effort constantly
Even if i had the words to say
There was still no reason for you to stay
So go ahead and walk away

Bow my head and be proud
Theres nothing stopping me now
You're living life with regret and no purpose

I swear i'll make a better man
Better Than I've Ever Been
Just to prove that i can take a stand
Bow my head and be proud
(I swear, I swear)
I swear i'll make a better man
Better Than I've Ever Been
Just to prove that i can take a stand
Bow my head and be proud of who I am

I've always wanted to know what its like to be you
Creator of destruction
And all you put me through
I've always wanted to know what its like to be you

I swear i'll make a better man
Better Than I've Ever Been
Just to prove that i can take a stand
Bow my head and be proud

I'll bow my head and be proud
Theres nothing stopping me now

Produced by Chris Piquette at No Boundaries Studios

Waiting for the day where my soul slips away
Rotting in this hole that you’ve dug for me
Fighting to exist
I’m losing my grip
This is too much for me

This is the start of the end
This is the start of the end of me

You ran away from our problems as far as I can think saving you took the best of me
As my knuckles turn to white my strength will fade
All of these memories mean nothing to me
I let your tragedy bring me down

If I could take myself back to the day I’d say “fuck you and everything that you believe”
If I could end this pain today I’d rot and let my god damn body decay

Cold is the blood inside my veins
It’s safe to say things will never be the same
Isolated in misery
I’ll throw away everything that used to be

You ran away from our problems as far I can think saving you took the best of me
As my knuckles turn to white my strength will fade
All of these memories mean nothing to me
I let your tragedy bring me down
Bring me down

The Worst of Us - House of Lies

The Worst of Us 2017-07-21 | Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Chris Piquette at No Boundaries Studios

Video by Dan Fried of Just Fly Casual

Your house of lies came crashing down tonight
I watched in awe as the truth came to the light
Was i blind to all the shit that you hide?
Couldn't risk your pride to save your useless life

Who knew the liars and the cheaters
Would make your life much clearer in the end
Every day becomes a struggle when
The illusion of trust is all you have left

Heres to the end of every empty promise that youve made
You couldnt find anywhere to hide
You chose your house of lies
I'll sleep my way
Through the night
Knowing that i'll be just fine
You are the one I left behind

Chew me up and spit me out again
I wont comply to your ignorance
Face the facts
Take the blame
After this you'll be covered in shame

Heres to the end
(heres to the end)
I'm burning down your house of lies

Heres to the end of every empty promise that you've made
You couldn't find
Anywhere to hide
You chose your house of lies
I'll sleep my way
Through the night
Knowing that i'll be just fine
You are the one i left behind

It's time
You take a fucking step back
I'm not the one that you've made me out to be
I'm not a puppet dictated by your strings
No one said this life would be easy
But you'll be dead next time you lie to me

Is this what you call love or lust?
All i did for you was never enough
Is this what you call love or lust?
I was never enough
