Straight From The Heart is the first song in 12 years to not feature former lead vocalist Tilian. Many fans started speculating on reddit whether or not the band would start auditioning for a new vocalist, or bring back an old one. Instead, Eidola front-man and current guitarist Andrew Wells took th...
[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
I'm not burning out, won't fade away
Time to shine brighter
I've always been a fighter
On your way down
Give me a wave
Know the fall is bitter
You've always been a quitter
I'm at the top of my game
You shit out more of the same
Quit blaming, I'm sick of all the complaining
I'll work 'til I'm in the dirt
You lazy fucks are the worst
[Verse 1: Jon Mess]
Feels like reverse embalming
Poisoned buffet
I hear my stomach calling
Crème brûlée
All I wanted was a bucket of nuggets
And then a pie and a peanut shake
I was tripping over piles of bile
It was the greatest thing I ever ate, ate, ate, ate
[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Wells, Jon Mess]
I won't stop cooking it up
I'ma build a better body when I'm getting a pump
Got a real meal plan, takin' plenty of sups
My sins are all forgiven
I'm building mass with creatine
Prayed up, Mark Wahlberg of the scene
I'm stacking pins and psalms
'Cause it takes my pain away
I let the light flow through my balls
I'm like a tree in earth with God
I feel my heart show up
Now the spirit is gleaming
I'm receiving the meaning
And the pain that's stored gets fucked
[Chorus: Andrew Wells, Andrew Wells & Jon Mess]
I'm not burning out, won't fade away
Time to shine brighter
I've always been a fighter
On your way down
Give me a wave
Know the fall is bitter
You've always been a quitter
I'm at the top of my game
You shit out more of the same
Quit blaming, I'm sick of all the complaining
I'll work 'til I'm in the dirt
You lazy fucks are the worst
[Verse 2: Jon Mess]
No shame in knowing you're adored
For shoving your face
I can't believe that I consume the food
And then I fill up a whole 'nother plate
I did it, I lived it, I ate
They'll never compete with my weight
The bond is different, the karma instant
I think that I'm so fucking brave
[Bridge: Andrew Wells]
These devils waitin' for the seas to part
I heard their sermon and these vermin
Man, they ain't that smart
I take a little rest, feeling blessed
Straight from the heart
If they keep fucking around
I won't be down
You'll live in the ground
You don't deserve this art, art, art
You don't deserve it
[Outro: Jon Mess & Andrew Wells]
You're all alone in a room with the doom
Soon a tomb in a room with the doom
Soon a tomb, you couldn't make it stop, stop, stop
You couldn't make it
All alone, all alone
In a room, in a room
With the doom, with the doom
Soon a tomb, you couldn't make it stop, stop, stop
You couldn't make it stop
