I've been stuck in the dark All alone with no hope, with no home Feeding on my mind, like it knows where to go All alone, all alone You think I wanted this? Hear my secrets and stay silent You think I wanted this? Grab my neck and choke me to death What if I told you I wanted to die? What if I tried What if I told you I wanted to die? What if I tried What is the point? What is the point? What is the point to this stupid life? What is the point? What is the point? What is the point to this stupid life? What's the point? What's the point? I'm so sick of being me I hate everything, I don't like you Grab my neck and choke me to death I hate everything, I don't like you Toss me out, bury me with the rest Hang a noose, let me choke till I turn blue Toss, toss me! Burn, burn me! Hang, hang me! Kill, kill me! What is the point? What is the point? What is the point to this stupid life? What is the point? What is the point? What is the point to this stupid life?

I'm not fine and your not fine and that's alright I'm alright and your alright and that's just fine How long can I keep this lie? Come and die with me, please, please Come and die with me, please, please Meaningless, we're so meaningless, we're so pointless Meaningless, we're so meaningless, we're so pointless Take my hand, I'll show you death Come and die with me, please, please Come and die with me, please, please Take my hand, I'll show you death I'll be just fine Take my hand, I'll show you death There's no hope for anyone Take my hand, we'll disappear Away from the pain, away from here Lies in my head have never been so clear! Lies in my head have never been so clear! No hope for us, no hope for you! No love for us, no love for you! Cut my insides out and let me bleed There's no hope here! Let me hang for everyone to see There's no love, there's no hope! There's no love, there's no hope here! I'll be just fine when dead I will find love in my head I'll be just fine! I'll be just fine when I'm dead When I'm dead, when I'm dead, when I'm dead! I'm not fine and your not fine and that's alright I'm not alright! I'm alright and your alright and we'll be just fine We'll be just fine!

I'm sick, I'm sick of being, I'm sick of being human I want to die, I want to die with all of them I want to die! I hate myself, I hate myself, more than you know So I'll watch my addictions turn into this sickness I'll watch them! We will all collapse, knowing we can't live, we can't live like this There is no heart, no soul, in this We have no heart, we have no soul, in this Not in this! No heart, no soul, in this!

Darkness is a part of me I gave up on everything Life's no longer with me Life's no longer with me! Death is the only light My heart pumps nothing Hate is the only thing that crushed me Hate is what crushed... My black heart pumps nothing, pumps nothing My soul: disgusting, disgusting They say I need to fight What's the point? They say I need to live What life's worth living? What life's worth living? I'm a piece of shit with no life in it Hate's what crushed me! I'm counting down the time, right until I die I can't save you I can't save me Hate's what crushed me! My black heart pumps nothing, pumps nothing My soul: disgusting, disgusting Filthy, guilty, we're capable of too much evil Too much, too much, too much evil! I've been sober for far too long And now this noose is calling me home All I want is the anger to leave and to fall back asleep Hate's what crushed me! I've been singing the same damn song Hoping someone would sing along But this bitter hate won't let go and no one is answering me Hate's what crushed me! My black heart pumps nothing, pumps nothing My soul: disgusting, disgusting Filthy, guilty, we're capable of too much evil Too much, too much, too much evil! If you were real you'd answer me Or maybe your real but refuse to speak So, I love the anger, I love the rage And I'll tear apart the creation you raised Come answer, come bury me with the rest!

Hell follows my hands Sadness stuck in my veins The light is black Nowhere to run, nowhere to escape I'll just be asleep (asleep) In my rotting dreams (my dreams) With darkness in my veins (my veins) I'm just fine with rotting in the darkness I wish I could see some kind of hope for me Some kind of hope! Hell follows theses hands There is no light that comes from me Just death inside, just death inside, just death inside of me I'll just be asleep (asleep) In my rotting dreams (my dreams) With darkness in my veins! I'm just fine with rotting In the darkness I wish I could see some kind of hope for me Some kind of hope! Nowhere to run, nowhere to escape I'll just be asleep (asleep) In my rotting dreams (my dreams) With darkness in my veins (my veins) I'm asleep to this darkness and my dreams have no purpose I can't fake my existence, I can't feel a thing These dark thoughts are over taking me With temptations better left unsaid But I will show them when I hang my head Come and die with me, there's no point to this life We're just wasting time, until we all lay in the same grave So I'll just let the darkness take me in my sleep I will be so easily forgotten I'll just let the darkness take me away No one will ever miss my name We all lay in the same, in the same grave! We all live in the same, in the same grave!

about

We secluded ourselves in the backwoods of North Carolina for a year of our lives creating, writing, and fighting. This is a collection of the first 5 pieces that were birthed out of that heartache. We hope you enjoy hearing the journey, as much as we enjoyed taking it.

The Grandfather Wake Forest, North Carolina

Over two years ago, the members of The Grandfather moved to the backwoods of North Carolina to write and play music. The process created much heartache, but their efforts were not in vain. The result: freedom. So enjoy the journey and join us in the celebration. ... more
