about

This song is about a whore

lyrics

This is not revenge
This isn't punishment, no
This is not revenge
This isn't punishment

I could never hate you
But I could never love you, stop me when I start making sense
There's still a part of me that sees a part of you that was never really there
I've chased an image for too long
I can't stop even though I know it's wrong
So what happens now, what happens now
I'm ready to be done running

I know, I know you mean more to someone than the dust that you will be
So living your life as dust only leaves me wishing you'd already been buried

I'm not like you
I still believe that my life has a meaning
Even if it's obvious life wants me out
I still believe that my life is worth seeing
Where I'm going, where I"m headed, what was life all about
I'm more than a stepping stone
I'm more than this, I'm more than this, I'm more than you

I know, I know you mean more to someone than the dust that you will be
So living your life as dust only leaves me wishing you'd already been buried
This is not revenge, this isn't punishment, no
This is extinction of everything you once held dear

But do you even feel anymore?
I'm more than a stepping stone (This is extinction)
And lately with the life I live
I have every right if I wanna be done with it
But instead I'm just done with yours
That's not how I've lived, I'm more than that, I'm more than this
Instead I'll just leave you with these words
I hope you listen and I hope it hurts

You've been hurt before, but you've been wrong even more
Everyone can see this but you so I'll spell it out...
I'm not your whore, whore

YEUCKH

Your existence is as wrong as the mud coursing through your veins
You're here, you're alive still all you do is complain
You say ashes to ashes but you're not worth your weight in dust
Every time I look at you it fills my heart with disgust
And you can keep sayin' I only know you skin deep
But I hate to see what lies beneath the skin of a leech
And when I call you a parasite does it rip at your core?
I'll say this one more time - I'm not your whore
I'm not your whore

Live to Conquer Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We're a Metalcore band out of Cedar Rapids, IA. Formed in the Fall of 2012, we underwent some changes that brought us to the current lineup. I would like to say however, we wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for the previous members.
