Crawl 01:51
Rise from the mud to see the sun Urge to break free Become chains on me Decades of crawling prove to me nothing Took so long to get here Now I live in fear You can tell me it was worth it You can say its meant to be Here I am, standing worthless Wishing I was still asleep (CRAWL) I'll do what it takes to survive (SCOWL) All I see is disgust in their eyes (SCUM) A danger to their way of life Born in the darkness a stranger to light Took so long to get here Now I live in fear

Garbage 02:04
Can't believe that I ascended to see you staring at me Everything I fought against doesn't mean anything Pacing the earth to stay alive, why did I have to rise? I miss being under your feet, where my flaws were always discrete Dry air hardens my skin, I was never designed to fit in Constant anguish in my mind, I was better off blind What am I doing here? Where do I belong? Why did I trust you? How can I get back? There is nothing here no room to rest my head Groomed for your succeess theres no turning back
3.
Buried 01:42
Stuck my head in the dirt so I could be alone fingers pointed at me, all of my flaws exposed Now its just me and my head only the loudest voice I'd bury myself alive just to escape the noise No one left to blame but myself Just me and my shame in this hell Stuck my head in the dirt and now I'm all alone my piece of mind is buried and my flaws are exposed Keep digging till they cant see me Scratch at my chest to see that I'm empty How much lower can I go until everybody knows that Im just another lie living for my next goodbye next goodbye next goodbye
4.
Rubble 01:41
I always knew that I would sink Never meant to breath air I knew this world would never change Could’nt stop your world from staining my hands, I tried so hard to keep em clean Every Step forward it’s A HUNDRED STEPS BACK how much deeper could I sink? What’s left for me but confusion and pain? Never meant for things to fall apart this way Reduced to Rubble and I couldn’t pretend Better off dead than left to rot in your head You live and learn I struggle and squirm
5.
Descend 03:25
I gave it my best try, put my fate in your hands that Hung me out to dry nothing here for me, Too hard to live this lie I know what I am, I know where I belong I’ve wasted so much time, Just to admit i’m wrong I feel the scowl, twist the knife in my back drop to my hands and knees and Crawl, nothing left to lose, the truth is hard to swallow There is no life above, when you were BORN FROM SCUM Look myself in the eyes. To face what I've become I ACCEPT my place in this world MAKES-NO- SENSE trying to push it I-GO BACK to the place I Left alone, BUT I STILL CALL IT HOME I couldn't make my-self pretend So I’ve made up my mind. now I must -DE-SSCEEENNDDD!
6.
Submerge 01:00
stuck in my tracks starring down death no turning back won't be the first to blink shortness of breath no time to rest war in my head won't be the first to sink I SUBMERGE MYSELF
7.
Scowl 02:02
Is anyone out there? I've been looking (I've been looking) I've been crawling and following your voice I wont let you be a reflection Need to find you before I wash away Footprints I leave for you wont stay can't live alone no tracks no legacy We both know that i'll sink inside myself no place to go no hope, no way out Is anyone out there? Take my hand and you'll see knew all along I was always empty I don't care. I'll always be the nothingness is the biggest part of me I'm not alone I'm not the only one out in the cold I'm not alone The mud dog scowl will lead me to my home

Ice Age 02:29
WASH MY SOUL Away from this place TRANSCEND THIS WORLD End my days My life is a disgrace Swallow this spit with a smile on my face Can’t prey on the dead When my identity is trapped in their heads My existence is a waste But I bet you’re gonna miss me when the frost sticks to my face (ah!) Watch me freeze, end my days A trophy for the next age WASH MY SOUL Away from this place TRANSCEND THIS WORLD End my days How can I survive? (How can I survive?) I’ve got nothing LEFT TO LEAVE behind And it only gets worse I got what I deserved, this pain was earned Wash my soul, away from this place Transcend your fears, end my pain Il stay, out of reach Become a ghost that HAUNTS YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP This earth wasn’t enough for me I’ll stand my ground and wait for it to freeze
9.
Lost World 01:48
Thought i could make time stop But it just melted away Chip at my past from the top After all these years my regret stays this is what i get for taking a stand Nothing to show in these empty hands Another day spent under their feet I'm ob-so-lete CAN’T RUN FROM YESTERDAY IT WON’T LEAD TO A NEW WAY Hoped i would go with the cold Frozen still while you grew old Can’t start fresh Meant for death Can’t begin again Left for dead The sun burns the same No-one remembers my name every turn another blank face a whole world, lost in waste
10.
Breather 01:44
Day after day, your sun exposes me Watching your gaze, there's nothing you don't see Wasting your air, I’ll never stay You can keep stomping but I’ll reach the Bay Think about yourself Safe inside your shell Soon you’ll be exposed Your true colors will show Night after night, the darkness conceals me I move while you sleep and I hunt while you dream Rejecting your light, I'll never learn Think you are righteous but You will burn Nights awake go live your lie struggling to reach the sky Look below to see me grow Now I’ll live among the low

MUD DOGS!, BORN FROM SCUM MUD DOGS!, we’ve become Living in your grave We are not the same Killing with no shame Regretting my name Look what ive become A shadow to no one A nuisance to the wind A sinner without sin MUD DOGS!, BORN FROM SCUM! MUD DOGS!, we’ve become I’m slipping, can’t seem to stay on my feet Tainted my soul just to keep these hands CLEAN I’m ripping, this callused skin at the seams But there was never any hope because the stains run so deep For so long, we’ve been buried beneath now we rise up to the surface (to this world that don’t deserve us) So wrong (so wrong), waiting like a dormant disease We’re the garbage of this planet it's all you can see WE ARE THE MUD DOGS, and we were born from scum WE ARE THE MUD DOGS, AHHHHH!

Captivity 02:57
Each day starts out the same. Another maze with no escape. No use for me in this place. Look down at me with no embrace Back to my cage Trapped in my rage Fed with their lies Lost in their design New traps they set for me were nothing that i haven't seen Looking back to the times when i never had to believe In anything other than what was right in front of me Hands down my throat trying to take all that is left of me Take a deep breath They’re not impressed Got nothing left I am just a pest
