3rd Strike - Walked Away

Walked Away
Feels so cold to be abandoned
I can’t see past what you have done
memories how they fade away
now you want to come back
I walked away from you
no fuckin' tears for them lost years
I took the pain then I turned it to hatred
so dead to me
no fantasy
my own blood is the enemy remedy
long gone test me be strong
let me move on
kill the memories
that I see only tragedy
from his belt to his hands to his fist
I can’t believe this
I can’t forgive this
Chorus
I locked you out
these years
this hatred
cries in my head
You died in my head (Repeat)
steady coming with that friendly fire
shooting me down
two caps to the back
dropped face first
hit the ground
never around
so in the fucking mind you're dead
and now that you're alone you want to be my friend to foe
who got control
now I’m the one that’s walking away
so what do you gotta say
lying bruised and beat
kicked to the curb
you're not my father don’t bother because you never were
take that motherfucker
Chorus
I locked you out
these years
this hatred
cries in my head
You died in my head (Repeat)
striving forever to find who I am
striving forever to find who I am
abandonment how I can taste it
my resentment time to face it
on my knees oh god replace it
Let me see some sanity
abandonment how I can taste it
my resentment time to face it
on my knees oh god replace it
Can’t believe it I can’t take it

on the brink of a break down
no love found in my soul
straight from the get go
nothing left in this heart
just a mother-fucking stab in the back
By my so called dad
Pretty sad
Growing up with no affection
Rejection, just another lesson
Now I’m a grown man and you wanna come back
back in my life
yeah right
Chorus
I locked you out
these years
this hatred
cries in my head
You died in my head (Repeat)
Stabbed in the back
filled with hate
nothing else to say
cuz I walked away

3rd Strike - Strung Out

Listen to me jesus
this disease deceives us
takes us for a flight
then shoots us down
we need some protection from this soul infection
help us save ourselves before we drown
fight on fight on
i cant release myself
calm the storm that builds inside
kill off emotions and i'm strung out again
i cant escape myself
cuz i've been running all my life
kill off emotions and i'm sturng out again
a little hit can take away my fears
and make me feel a real man
selling all i have to make me whole
i can feel the fire
fueling me now i've lost control
fight on fight on
[chorus]
i'm sick and tired of being sick and fucking tired
heard the last shot rired walked the high wire
no desire left now that i accept
hanging by a rope seen a little bit of hope gotta cope
this aint no fucking joke
cuz my next binge with the syringe might do me in
take me out
down for the count
you're living in this chaos that aint what i'm about
motherfucker
i see you wasing away
you look at me and you see the same
why must we be normal and sane
why must we live this life of pain
[chorus]
i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i'm just a slave

3rd Strike - Redemption

Would you let me take control
if i told you that i would never love another
build a prison for you soul
with the shelter i provide
surely we could live forever
feel addiction take control
i know no other way
reality its just fantasy again
if i could penetrate you soul
i'd help you find a way to make fantasy reality again
would you let me take you home fulfill my every need keep you
in this spell you're under
cause nows the time to let you know
if you only take my hand never will there be another
[chorus]
hold you down again
i wont let you breath
i see redemption in your eyes although i always seem to make you cry
so high off the pain that i give to you
hold you down till you cant breath you cant leave
or perceive that you're better off without me
i cut you down before you get a chance to doubt me
no love is sicker than the one we've found
keep a frown on you face so you'll never replace me
[chorus]
