lyrics

Obsessed, with this mess
Dark thoughts, in my head
I know, I’m no saint
But gimme just a second cause I’m just about to break!
GO!

Take it all in, this what you wanted?
A better life for us, I took for granted
I know better now, I’m a lost cause
Drag me through the dirt and leave nothing for the crows oh,
Give me a bottle, give me a smoke
Leave me to die here, among the ghosts
Of the memories, hypocrisies
A self-fulfilling prophecy is all I ever came to be NOW!

And the worst part is, I blame myself
When all’s said and done, I got nothing else
And what’s killing me, I couldn’t change it if I tried
Been running from the truth, but still trapped in my mind

And all the turns I took that led me here
I see the road ahead but it’s unclear
There’s no saving me, no changing me
And all along what I fought is what I could’ve been

I’d trade this all in, for some empathy
I’d bite my own tongue when I disagree
There’s a light now, just beyond my reach
Drowning in my sorrows sinking deep in this disease
Give me a bottle, give me a smoke,
Leave me to die here, among the ghosts
Of the memories, hypocrisies
A self-fulfilling prophecy is all I ever came to be NOW!

And the worst part is, I blame myself
When all’s said and done, got nothing else
And what’s killing me, I couldn’t change it if I tried
Been running from the truth, but still trapped in my mind

And all the turns I took that led me here
I see the road ahead but it’s unclear
And all the turns I took that led me here
I see the road ahead but it’s unclear
There’s no saving me, no changing me
And all along what I fought is what I could’ve been

There’s no saving me, no changing me
And all along what I fought is what I could’ve been

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy. Fantastic soul metal. Grimmrobe
