lyrics

I wish that I could blame my past
But my future looks just as bad
When will I learn from these mistakes?
When these roots stop ripping up the pavement

These roots consume me
At least they’re trying to
My world isn’t revolving
They follow me still
Leave me to rot in peace
I can’t keep running, they’re picking up the pace

I can’t run forever, but nor can I hide
But everytime I turn around, I lose my stride
I hate this chase sometimes I want to end it all
And then I trip, but I do not want to fall
It’s better when I face my demons
But to them, I won’t give allegiance
This world is cruel, but nothing compared to my mind

My biggest battle is inside my pitiful excuse for a mind
Where outside I have to pretend that I’m fine

There’s no one around me that knows my true pain
I hide it well
I’ve lived with it my entire life
Until I’m dead I will have it still
I see the world around me not as others seem to believe
I know I’m cruel, but nothing compared to my mind

My biggest battle is inside my pitiful excuse for a mind
Where outside I have to pretend that I’m fine

These roots consume me
At least they’re trying to
My world is not revolving
They follow me still.

I had to listen 'Merciless Destruction' wearing a bulletproof vest just to survive to this amazing LP. Another straight shot of (violent) Hardcore right to your face, pushing a clear message: listen it yourself FFO: Sworn Enemy, Cold Steel, Scarfold, Subtype Zero MediZen

One of the most fun albums I've listened to in 2020. Catchy as fuck and has some serious good chugging going on. If you're into hardcore just get it. Daniel Nielsen
