Truth Killer Album Lyrics by Sevendust

I Might Let the Devil Win

Don't you want
Just a little taste of blood
Oh, but you know
We're gonna give in
Oh, the devil won't win
Please, beg for your life
Don't nobody hear those cries
Run if you want
I really don't care
Oh no, the devil won't win

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around me

Tear me apart and kill me slow
You whisper disease and scream with love
I wanna give in
Oh no, the devil won't win
I don't lick my teeth like a viper
I sold out, but I don't want a thing
Oh, I really gave in
Hell no, the devil won't win

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around me

Been running from you all my life
I don't have it in me to fight anymore
As dark as my heart can be now
I'm changing my life, I'm waiting for light

(I might let the devil win)

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around

Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around (I might let the devil win)
Please, oh no, don't come around
Don't come around (no, no, no, no)
(Don't come around) I can't let the devil win

Truth Killer

Hold me like water
Heal me with pain
You chase the demon
Right into me
Why am I breathing?
Why do we fall?
Follow the leader
I am a God

(No) you feel it
(No one) I am the one
You need it
(Suffers) I carry on
(No) I carry all
(No one) I carry all
I carry all (suffers)

Straight, truth killer
Truth killer

I know all that I want
Is something to keep us alive
When everything dies
And the one thing that we love
We grip it with violence
And live here in silence

Bathe me in fire
Do what you want
Bury my demons underneath the scars
Why do I feel like everything is lost?
There is no leader
You are a God

(No) you feel it
(No one) I am the one
You need it
(Suffers) I carry on
I carry all
I carry all
I carry all

I know all that I want
Is something to keep us alive
When everything dies
And the one thing that we love
We grip it with violence
And live here in silence

My god

Kill what's inside of me
Kill what's inside of me
Kill what's inside of me
Kill what's inside of me
Don't try to (yeah)
Don't try to (yeah)
Don't try to (yeah)
Don't try to (you won't kill me)

I am a God
I'm alive

Oh, all that I want
Is something to keep us alive
When everything dies

I know all that I want
Is something to keep us alive
When everything dies
And the one thing that we love
We grip it with violence
And live here in silence

My god

Won't Stop the Bleeding

I'll let your little white lie go
My deceiver in the shadows
You're in the wrong time and wrong place
All day
Where are we going in a broken world
I taste the venom and it wakes me up
Don't let your dark side run
Oh, and it feels so good to let it go

Shine a light inside yourself
Carry on and wish them well
Nobody ever really cares
'Til their time is over

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding

Don't let your head break the cycle
Stay in that pain like a child
You're in that f*cked up headspace
All day
(Do what you want)
(Suffer, throw it all away)
No one ever needs to die alone

Shine a light inside yourself
Carry on and wish them well
Nobody ever really cares
'Til their time is over

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding

Shine a light inside yourself
Nobody ever really cares
'Til their time is over

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding

Whatever love you need is gone
Whatever makes you feel alive
Whatever hope you found along the way
It won't stop the bleeding
It won't stop the bleeding

Everything

I shut down
I'd rather be left out
I used to need so much more from you
Now I'm a bit colder

No, you
Don't know what I go through
Stand over me
Damn, I wanna be a fighter
Oh my god, where do you want me?

Oh, it doesn't matter where I run
So insecure, it f*cking kills me

So what do you wanna see?
I'm gonna make you believe
That I can be everything, yeah
I can be anything
I won't change a f*cking thing
Don't walk away from me
No, you're my everything
Yeah, I can be anything

Nothing
I'd rather be nothing
Than try to be the thing you wanted
To make you whole again

Something
Can I believe something?
Let go of me
Damn, you're a good liar
Oh my god, why do you want me?

Oh, it doesn't matter where I run
So insecure, it f*cking kills me

So what do you wanna see?
I'm gonna make you believe
That I can be everything, yeah
I can be anything
I won't change a f*cking thing
Don't walk away from me
No, you're my everything
Yeah, I can be anything
Yeah, I can be anything

Whatever happens, now I know
I'm gonna be jaded, I'm gonna feel empty
I'm gonna be everything
You hate me to be, you love to me be
You take anything you want

Yeah, I can be anything
Yeah, I can be anything
Yeah, I can be anything
Yeah, I can be anything

So what do you wanna see?
I'm gonna make you believe
That I can be everything, yeah
I can be anything
I won't change a f*cking thing
Don't walk away from me
No, you're my everything
Yeah, I can be anything

So what do you wanna see?
I'm gonna make you believe
That I can be everything, yeah
I can be anything
I won't change a f*cking thing
Don't walk away from me
No, you're my everything
Yeah, I can be anything
Yeah, I can be anything

No Revolution

Let go, let karma find it
Don't tell yourself another word
I never trust anybody
I never feel God this close to war
This close to war

So how long can we survive this?
So much for following
Your heart when it's this cold

There's no change
There's no faith
There's no resolution
There's no love
There's no hate
There's no revolution
No revolution

Let's see how much you want it
Please tell me where we need to roam
The calling, unspoken
So much for following
Your mind when we lose hope

There's no change
There's no faith
There's no resolution
There's no love
There's no hate
There's no revolution

There's no change
There's no faith
There's no resolution
There's no love
There's no hate
There's no revolution

I feel nothing now
I feel nothing now
I know we're running out of road
I'm feeling nothing now
I'm feeling nothing now
Time is running out
Revolution

There's no change
There's no faith
No resolution
There's no love
There's no hate
There's no revolution

There's no change
There's no faith
There's no resolution
There's no love
There's no hate
There's no revolution

No revolution

Sick Mouth

Take everything I have
Oh, take every single moment from me
I'm digging up the past
I know for sure that ghosts will haunt me

If only I could be there
To watch you break where you stand
Beg when you know it's over
And I've got you all figured out
(Oh Lord, I know)
(I know)

I ran from God and now I'm stuck in my head
I'd blame myself but now I'm practically dead
I see your soul and watch it die in the fray
You know I see it from a mile away

Calling out, this desperation taking over
And in your mind you've won

Another day we can choose
To save the ones you abused
You know who you are

If only I could be there
To watch you break where you stand
Beg when you know it's over
And I've got you all figured out
(Oh Lord, I know)

I ran from God and now I'm stuck in my head
I'd blame myself but now I'm practically dead
I see your soul and watch it die in the fray
You know I see it from a mile away

No prayer for the guilty
No prayer for the guilty
No prayer for the guilty
No prayer for the guilty
Guilty
No prayer for the guilty
(Oh Lord, I know)
(You know)

I ran from God and now I'm stuck in my head
I'd blame myself but now I'm practically dead
I see your soul and watch it die in the fray
I f*ckin' see it from a mile away

Holy Water

I feel a darkness inside
It's buried deep but alive
Why do I love it so much?

I need the chaos to live
I see the fear as a gift
Your blessing and it's my curse
(F*ck my curse)

Crippled, alone
Die with that truth that you hold
Fragile, you're corrosive

Holy water
Drag me in the river
Sunday murder
Keep taking what you're giving

Holy water
Go find your killin' spirit, right now
Someday I'll see the light
I hope before I die

You fed the flames of the fire
To watch it burn me alive
The reasons I'll never know

I need the pain to survive
I used to pray but I'm tired
I'm here for better or worse

Crippled, alone
Die with that truth that you hold
Fragile, you're corrosive

Holy water
Drag me in the river
Sunday murder
Keep taking what you're giving

Holy water
Find your killin' spirit, right now
Someday I'll see the light
I hope before I die

I don't want you to save my soul
You don't need more
It will take everything I have to hold you up
And leave you believing my dying words

Holy water
Drag me in the river
Sunday murder
Bring me in the river now

Holy water
Go find your killin' spirit, right now
Someday I'll see the light
I hope before I die

Holy water
Drag me in the river
Sunday murder
Keep taking what you're giving

Holy water
Find your killin' spirit, right now
Someday I'll see the light
I hope before I die
Die

Leave Hell Behind

My life not long
I'll die in peace and leave you with my
Heart and soul
Forever

The time I have lost
The past still haunts me but now I'm letting go
So much more I want
I want

I'd rather hide in sorrow
And keep the light on inside your world
Everything I love, I don't deserve
And now I know that

I, I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the time, the loss and the life
Time, life
I'll go now and leave hell behind

The light is on
To lead your way from all I've given up
In time, we sever

What's mine is yours
The path we make is the life we take
Who really knows for sure?
Just how long, how long

I'd rather hide in sorrow
And keep the light on inside your world
Everything I love, I don't deserve
And now I know that

I, I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the time, the loss and the life
Time, life
I'll go now and leave hell behind
No way of killing me

Reach in over my space
When's the reckoning
Coming for the shit I believe
Feeling overwhelming
Where's the compassion for the innocent?
I'm sick with your disease

The light is on
To lead your way from all I've given up

I, I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the time, the loss and the lies
Time, life

I, I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end is what really mattered
All of the time, the loss and the life
Time, life
I'll go now and leave hell behind
No way of killing me

Superficial Drug

I haven't felt like myself for awhile
It's so hard to move on
Why I do feel like I'm never around
To see you explode
I used to be so much better
When I didn't give a damn at all, oh no
Where you been, whatcha say?
Where the hell did all the love really go?

Tragedy in my blood
I don't fight it anymore
Bury me with all the love
Every other thing is meaningless
The real words hurt the most
Take your superficial drug

I always fall for the colorful lies
They're so hard not to love
I'd like to think that I'm changing

But you'll never know
Let it out, whatcha got
I don't ever listen and I can't relate to you
You hate, what I do and say
Why the hell do I care anymore?

Tragedy in my blood
I don't fight it anymore
Bury me with all the love
Every other thing is meaningless
The real words hurt the most
Take your superficial drug

Tragedy in my blood
I can't fight it anymore
Bury me with all the love
Every other thing is meaningless
The real words hurt the most
Take your superficial drug

Tragedy in my blood
I don't fight it anymore
Bury me with all the love
Every other thing is meaningless
The real words hurt the most
Take your superficial drug

Tragedy in my blood
I can't fight it anymore
Bury me with all the love
Every other thing is meaningless
The real words hurt the most
Take your superficial drug

Messenger

Time left alone, the pity that follows us all here
What's right or wrong?
Been buried so long, the guilty and innocent come here
To wash all the blood away

I'm running out, I'm holding out for more
The seconds burn and God gives up

All we know
We're just the passengers living our arrogant lives
For all we know
Selfish and cynical, killing the messenger, it's all that we know

We waited so long, the emptiness under it all, where
Did we go wrong?
The ignorant soul cannot come to find out we die here
We drown in the blood today

We're dying out and rotten to the core
The faithless turn and God gives up

All we know
We're just the passengers living our arrogant lives
For all we know
Selfish and cynical, killing the messenger, it's all that we know

The killing words of hope
Only make us feel we're all so alone
Somehow it seems unreal
But it's all we know

Time left alone
The ignorant soul
We waited so long
We'll die here alone

All we know
We're just the passengers living our arrogant lives
For all we know
Selfish and cynical, killing the messenger, it's all that we know

All we know
All we have known, living our arrogant lives
For all we know
Selfish and cynical, killing the messenger, it's all that we know

Love and Hate

I'm your life and death
The end and the beginning, close your eyes and pray
I'll find you in the light
Backstabbing, how we hide our wounds like pieces of our life
Hear me out
We're not running anymore

The sky is burning
And I'm not afraid
To go meet my maker
And take all the blame

Don't let me down, oh, please
Hold your breath for me
I'll be your love and hate

You're alive, afraid
Too scared to trust another with our life, we change
I don't fear a thing at all
Stop crying out, we heal our wounds and go on with our life
Burn it down
You don't need this anymore

The sky is burning
And I'm not afraid
To go meet my maker
Take all the pain

Don't let me down, oh, please
Hold your breath for me
I'll be your love and hate
I'll be your reckoning
When something inside you breaks
Always your love and hate

Seek heaven, live horror
Defeated and conquered
We've conquered

Separate your love and hate
Separate your love and hate

The sky is burning
And I'm not afraid

Don't let me down, oh, please
Just hold your breath for me
I'll be your love and hate
I'll be reckoning
When something inside you breaks
Always your love and hate

Don't let me down, oh, please

Fence

Collect the blood until it's empty
Bury the truth until it's way too late to use
All the abuse is never ending
But who's to blame when we were born to light the fuse?
(How long) will it take 'til it's over?
(How long) 'til you take everything from me?

When do we know how long we can break it?
Where do we go to have some?
Will we see it again?
We have been waiting
Feel how it goes
Been down so long that the bottoms up

How long?
How long?

Fell out of line looking for safety
Sick of the lies and all the take, take, take
Hard to believe I ever faked it
(F*ck it, it's the end of what you knew)
Time to light the fuse

(How long) will it take 'til it's over?
(How long) 'til you take everything from me

When do we know how long we can break it?
Where do we go to have some?
Will we see it again?
We have been waiting
Feel how it goes
Been down so long that the bottoms up

When do we know how long we can break it?
Where do we go to have some?
Will we see it again?
We have been waiting
Feel how it goes
Been down so long that the bottoms up

(So long) that the bottoms up
(So long) that the bottoms up
