She’s on the back of the bus again I wonder what she did to get here Was she lost in the way that she cauterized Face it. Your Pain.
 When she told me I’d do anything (for the devil) Just to have you bare my name through this life of sin (for the devil) Still strung out from the night before Oh, how I had you in my arms Will you wake up a liar and a cutter When she told me I’d do anything (for the devil) Just to have you bare my name through this life of sin (for the devil) When she told me I’d do anything (for the devil) Just to have you bare my name through this life of sin (for the devil) Everything you do Everything they do Everything we do is for the devil Everything You’re on your knees again for the parol of your soul When she told me I’d do anything (for the devil) Just to have you bare my name through this life of sin Because i’m the devil

Who will you call? When theres no one left at all To pick you up and fucking dust you off Every time you fall off The face of the earth I waited… 5 years… just to state… my case… Now those greatest efforts have all been erased Fuck that. I’m not dying out. No not this way. We’re no statistic in legion Whom self destruction awaits But who i am to sway the winds of life Or your self made fortress, of the mind Who i am to fight your ties that bind Only you can stand up for what is needed in life So don’t fret / we are finally here Tracing skin / swapping spit Don’t wait you no longer have to pretend That i’m something I’m not Just stare through me in silence As if you can’t come to grips The countless voices, are dissipating as my words grow exponentially dissipating But who i am to sway the winds of life Or your self made fortress, of the mind Who i am to fight your ties that bind Only you can stand up for what is needed in life So don’t fret / we are finally here Tracing skin / swapping spit Don’t wait you no longer have to pretend That i’m something that I’m not You already lost me to such thoughts

YOU BRING THE ROPE / I’LL TIE THE NOOSE
 DEALT UNFAIR SHARES OF ABUSE
 VERISIMILITUDE / CONFOUND IN WHATEVER WE NEED TO
 MASQUERADE THE TRUTH 
AND CRAFT THE WAYS IN WHICH WE SEDUCE
 THE GHOSTS OF FRIENDS YOU’D LOVE TO LOSE BY NOW YOU MUST HAVE SEEN
 EVERY PART OF ME / BURNT UP IN ATROCITIES 
IN LIGHT OF FAILING TO CAPTURE THE UNIQUE
 GONE UNSEEN / YOUR SELF ESTEEM
 HAD I KNOWN YOU COULDN’T FEEL A THING
 I WOULD HAVE SNUFFED YOU OUT IN THE BEGINNING
 THATS WHATS BEST FOR BUSINESS KNEE DEEP IN WHATEVER WE NEED TO
 JUST GET BY ONE MORE NIGHT 
I’VE COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD / AND NO ONES HOME
 KNEE DEEP IN WHATEVER WE NEED TO
 STAY ALIVE ONE MORE NIGHT
 I’VE COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD / AND NO ONES HOME 
THE THINGS WE DO TO FORGET EACH OTHER
 THE WITCH AND THE PREDATOR UNGRATEFUL, DESTRUCTIVE, ABRASIVE, EGO
 IS THIS THE GAME YOU SIGNED UP TO PLAY? 
IS IT EVER? OR IS THIS HAPPILY NEVER AFTER?
 TRANSPARENT MOTIVES
 THE CORROSION OF THE HEARTLESS
 NOW CONFINING IN STRANGERS
 FOR ATTENTION / FOR A DISTRACTION KNEE DEEP IN WHATEVER WE NEED TO
 JUST GET BY ONE MORE NIGHT 
I’VE COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD / AND NO ONES HOME
 KNEE DEEP IN WHATEVER WE NEED TO
 STAY ALIVE ONE MORE NIGHT
 I’VE COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD / AND NO ONES HOME BY NOW YOU MUST HAVE SEEN
 EVERY PART OF ME / BURNT UP IN ATROCITIES 
IN LIGHT OF FAILING TO CAPTURE THE UNIQUE
 GONE UNSEEN / YOUR SELF ESTEEM
 HAD I KNOWN YOU COULDN’T FEEL A THING
 I WOULD HAVE SNUFFED YOU OUT IN THE BEGINNING
 THATS WHATS BEST FOR BUSINESS

Who are you to claim abuse &Then refuse to stand against whats done onto you Its all part of a grand conspiracy To drain, delete, make obsolete I’m not playing the victim I’m only trying to do this right for once in my abysmal existence for once in my fucking life So i don’t call her back… Who am i to set aflame The only one that knows my face Its all part of a grand conspiracy To drain, delete, make obsolete I’m not playing the victim I’m only trying to do this right for once in my abysmal existence for once in my fucking life So i don’t call her back… You see this brings to life, yet i can’t say why I know that suicide is not how we’re meant to die Yet my sanity was left somewhere behind In between deadtime, truth and denial So i won’t call you back… I’m not playing the victim I’m only trying to do this right for once in my abysmal existence for once in my fucking life I’m not playing the victim I’m only trying to do this right for once in my abysmal existence for once in my fucking life

Dreams caulked up to such emotive things Are fading back and forth Between slamming doors and something much more vile than i have ever felt before Truth or dare, lets play with all with that you’ve repressed Every word said, you chose to dismiss Lowered inhibitions, teasing death like a crime Break down your walls, one brick at a time Shot, after, shot, will you ever get enough? To fill that void, and confession your love Shot, after, shot, will you ever get enough? To fill that void, and confession your love The stain of repetition, confessions left to the side Of memories far too tragic And what it took to survive our end of days We managed to escape The drugs you needed to get by The never ending dredd of life Was this worth the high? And then you’ll drift off for another night Ill be left to fill ya in on the obvious sight Of the scars found on your arms, all the wounds Taking turns telling lies to the world Shot, after, shot, will you ever get enough? To fill that void, and confession your love Shot, after, shot, will you ever get enough? To fill that void, and confession your love The drugs you needed to get by The never ending dredd of life Was it all worth the high? As you drift off for another night As you shut off your brain I’ll be waving goodbye

Yer majesty swells The simple sight of thee Overloads all senses Passionately I know i’m a ghost That all must fall alone But as long as you know Oh just so you know Another legend grows (the virtuosa) The turning of screws (like no other) Black, blue, down & bruised Three count to take the crown I think its about time That you rise above the frenzy And you believe in me Mechanical perfection Technical execution Excellence lies in the precision I know i’m a ghost That all must fall alone But as long as you know Oh just so you know Another legend grows (the virtuosa) The turning of screws (like no other) Black, blue, down & bruised Three count to take the crown

However do i cease the projection Of this most irrational disposition Despite what hell i’ve walked you through Hand in hand, it’ll never be enough for you One day you will ache Just as i have ached When all you’ve qualified Doesn’t fade in time Whenever you get lost And need the excuse To outlet your anger I’ll be the go to When theres no one left to take the abuse And theres no more love for you to misuse One day you will ache Just as i have ached When all you’ve qualified Doesn’t fade in time Whenever you get lost And need the excuse To outlet your anger I’ll be the go to When theres no one left to take the abuse And theres no more love to misuse

From cradle to grave We’ll mostly only know shame But if everybody’s lonely, and no ones there at all. Is anyone even happy? or is it just the alcohol? You were so convinced that i didn’t care When i left you to hang in mid air You were so convinced that i didn’t care When i left you to hang in mid air Half hopeless romantic Half heartless and panicked I hope I’m in blood that you cough up And these hyperactive illogical thoughts Running wild I hope you never get me out of the back of your mind I hope you never forget what it took for me to prove you wrong Why ever dare to be buried underneath… The exact same soiled ground… On an earth that’ll never know peace Breaking down these so called friends You were so convinced that i didn’t care When i left you to hang in mid air You were so convinced that i didn’t care When i left you to hang in mid air Breaking down these so called friends So it goes…

How can me sometimes maybe Watching you lie there and day dream Be anything other than a small thing Keeping my punkass believing Hands have clawed at your heart Its torn like a word being nailed to its meaning Out poured these all thoughts and feelings That nobody ever knew would come from You must piss on these hypocrites Who’ve put you down outta pure delusional fantasy The distance between us is sickening Miles now measured in rhapsody Independence may define us but when left alone oh we’re hazardous This perception makes me so sick As if i’m giving up on love and just thinking with my dick Hands have clawed at your heart Its torn like a word being nailed to its meaning Out poured these all thoughts and feelings That nobody ever knew would come from You must piss on these hypocrites Who’ve put you down outta pure delusional fantasy The distance between us is sickening You must piss on these hypocrites Who’ve put you down outta pure delusional fantasy The distance between us is sickening Miles now measured in rhapsody Far too on edge. Too far gone. Over the edge. Overthrown. I’m an image, a symbol…not a man I’m your so-called gimmick in a bulletproof mask So come and get me mother fucker Kill me while you can I’ll be waiting at the door 12 gauge in hand

See the animal in his cage that you built
 Are you sure what side you're on?
 Better not look him too closely in the eye
 Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
 See the safety of the life you have built
 Everything where it belongs
 Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
 And it's all right where it belongs What if everything around you
 Isn't quite as it seems?
 What if all the world you think you know
 Is an elaborate dream? 
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
 What if you could look right through the cracks?
 Would you find yourself
? Find yourself afraid to see? What if all the world's inside of your head
 Just creations of your own?
 Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead And you're really all alone?
 You can live in this illusion
 You can choose to believe
 You keep looking but you can't find the woods
 While you're hiding in the trees What if everything around you 
Isn't quite as it seems?
 What if all the world you used to know
 Is an elaborate dream?
 And if you look at your reflection
 Is it all you want it to be?
 What if you could look right through the cracks
 Would you find yourself
 Find yourself afraid to see?

about

This record takes place right where Altruism left off. For better or worse, this is about self-discovery… Trying new things, a decade into UNDERLINED’s body of work… Or at least going out in flames, doing something questionable. Normally - I wouldn’t release something with so few “bells and whistles”. But the world has only gotten uglier, since i made myself known… So it is only natural, that i reflect such worldly sentiments, in the most raw, ugly, and unpolished way i can… If people want hyper-produced UNDERLINED, i’ve got a rather lengthy discography for you to dive into… But if you want to see what happens when a man strips away every element of who he was & rebuilds… for the sake of evolution… Then H7 and UNDERLINED INC presents to you… #Virtuosa
