This is the first track that Gabe wrote all the lyrics for as well as did vocals on. This was also the first track that Zack had a part in writing. Sand Trap was fully recorded before Julian was in the band, so Zack recorded the bass part.
lyrics
You fight every single day
Just to get your own way
Shed your last tear
Watch your step, the end is near
You don’t know me
Let’s just see
How long you will last inside my sand trap
Go, Disappear
Away from here
Just go rot away inside my sand trap
You don’t know the pain I felt
Now your hand has been dealt
You can’t break free
You’re a rotting corpse to me
You don’t know the steps I’ll take
Just to make sure you break
I’d sell my soul
Just to reach my twisted goal
You don’t know me
Let’s just see
How long you will last inside my sand trap
Go, Disappear
Away from here
Just go rot away inside my sand trap
You tried to get inside my head
I can’t forget the words you said
Now I can’t stop
Until you are dead
You don’t know me
Let’s just see
How long you will last inside my sand trap
Go, Disappear
Away from here
Just go rot away inside my sand trap
You will not survive
