Put me out of my misery now history lurches backwards while I enjoy the fall out of touch with forever subject to subtle threats and a liars throne I'm all alone a faceless reckoning to a life unwanted just let me out I left my pride home to regain faith blindsided betrayal worthless fabricated wasteland erase me pretend your not out of touch provoked more by confusion than the most painful truth just learn to leave me here suffer through the last wave just learn to leave me here father you look familiar cram your shit down my throat

Smile The shade you throw wont hide my shadow Smile Talk for a living and mute your own death Smile Ill fake this glance so youll be amused Smile You wont get far if you walk in my shoes Forfeit self Forfeit honor Forfeit respect Forfeit common decency I'm waiting for you to liberate my fucking mind I've heard of you before You walk across water You split the red sea belittle me I'll welcome death and take this darkness as my solemn bride Yerning for her cold embrace Forever smiling At Peace Arm the Cynical Share your dispair This is yours Wither away with or without it Such a pitiful burden You should smile more Put me down Size me up Four sided Triangle Swallow your delusions of grandeur You dont know me bitch Arm the Cynical

Seven years a million endless nights disregard every compliment given here praying for the flood to take you out wondering if the flames might take you first you're fake and when I close my eyes I see a drunk whore throwing a drink in my face I see a lowlife douchebag stepping on my toes I see a fat clueless owner shaming me in front of a sea of trash I see the match catch blaze burning that motherfucker to the ground this place gives no solace my lifes worth more than this it's not about the party it's about what you're celebrating so keep singing these same tired ass songs while I celebrate the end watching it burn as the smoke fills my lungs disillusioned fake bravado lying through your teeth downtrodden defeating me self pretentious fucks open this can of worms blame it on my fucking attitude I saw them all dancing in the fire

The ICU 02:22
Candles light your face calm worn weakened every word spoken is sorry your scars say hello to me nightmares await your awakening nightmares await your every move this town is proof that hell exists your body is filled with instant regret and will soon be buried beneath the ground you had no pulse to begin with so you chewed up all sentiment and spit it out keep your eyes on the sun watch the light fade noone will see your lies watching you beg for life you found a way out of here promise me you'll remember my fucking name and show your guilt in the end before you say I'm sorry you wont reach the ICU you'll die here with us they'll find you under the fucking pier

I've been taunted by walls collapsed suicidal and I've been speaking in fragments of love lost say your prayers because I'm on empty just give me a path to take so I can end myself constant depression forced acceleration flattered and medicated you award yourself's chasing nights that have no ending god tell me I'm right enough before I walk on this hate counterfeit smiles is your aimless worth I can see right through you put me in the fucking trash this is living in fear I've let my whole world fall apart numb to the blow I'm done
6.
Idol/Idle 02:40
Bastard idol a thought for you to ignore since you tore this family apart I've made peace with every fucking lie you to told hell lights your path to wounds that bleed eternal throw away the photographs of us severe the ties to this joke that runs blood deep clear your throat put the gun in your mouth the family Crest is cursed as I laugh out loud I see myself in you while you fall apart your not the man you're supposed to be so you left us alone I hope that she was worth it your not the man you're supposed to be now she cries at night how could you do this to her your not the man you're supposed to be my make believe family enjoy these same four walls abandon your family well forget our last names your not the man you're supposed to be

Jealous bow separation from the crown hesitation before I walk in line with you not in the cards isolation watch me fold contemplation before my losing hand is used sorry I'm not cut from the same cloth as you fucking hypocrites frauds and liars you deserve the worst hopeless fallout deal me in blessed birth silver spoon fed luxury womb denied put on airs and wear your sundays best while you drink yourself to death loaded made of money fuck you you keep wanting total wasted blessing on the self indulgent I fold I call your bluff theres no value in you just take my hand and watch your luck run out my soul is sealed in this content your family's name is raped in your regret
8.
By Attrition 03:30
You are no fucking god If you could see yourself from where I stand then maybe one day you could see why noone cares for you if you could hear your own voice speak then you should know by now why noone waits for you at home guide me to the grave relive your mistakes shut down Hope's and dreams be my empathy queen let me see that smile are you not entertained let me see that guilt rub my face in your mess until I self destruct You are no fucking god

about

"Remember in the early-to-mid-2000s when mathcore was coming up? Under the Pier sure as hell do, and they're bringing it back in a very sincere way with their new record Puff Pieces. If you're a fan of bands like Into the Moat, The Red Chord, and Botch, then you're going to absolutely love this." MetalInjection.net

:...the young band’s off-kilter (redundant term, who’s got a better one?) and shocking surges of energy translate into some wickedly entertaining mathcore that Into The Moat [sic] fans will find warmth and comfort in." HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com

"The band pack a super heavy ferocity right in with the intricately reverberating, gut-rattling chaos that might soundtrack flailing through the air after getting kicked over the side a cliff." CapturedHowls.com

“While still leaving room for improvement in terms of album flow, Puff Pieces is a top notch showcase of technical mastery and inharmonious mayhem that I already see the mathcore community drooling over.” MetalTrenches.com

“Puff Pieces, the debut full-length album from Baltimore mathematicians Under the Pier, is abrasive and psychotic in all the right ways. Heavily influenced by their forefathers in the mathcore scene, Under the Pier have bright ideas and technical ability, and this LP showcases them at their most ferocious.” KillBoringMusic.com

"Everything about this band is what I love in music, what I love in heavy metal." Unsigned Showcase

Puff Pieces is the debut full length album from Under The Pier
