i should've been dead
the truth spills from the hole inside your head
not knowing what you'd find would leave me distant
it always starts the same
a turning point to make things worse
knowing that im to blame
for every mistake
i have ever made
every time you ask
the answers still the same
i have nothing left to live for
it always starts the same...
my hands wrap around this cold steel
i write my name on this .45
and press it to my head
i hope you find what youre looking for
desperate to find
desperate to free my mind
desperate to see the truth
and knowing what youll find
holding words upon your tongue
before you cut them out
desperate to make a fool
of all that weve become
maybe the truth is hard to swallow
than lies and blood
maybe death will be easier to accept
i hope you find what youre looking for

abyssal plain

i cant make sense of
this mess i lay down at your feet
no plan was had making my life a living nightmare
when you cast me out to the waves
unable to fend for myself
you cut me at the knees
and never looked back
no one is waiting for me on the other side
no god or devils have my soul in sight
nothing to look forward to
no one holding me back
my mind like a vast sea
only time to reflect on
cursed by my own mind
abandoned, lost in the waves
wishing for death to take me away from this place
cursed by my own life
purged by the force that drives me underneath
damned to the end
dismissed from this plain that shackles me
no one is waiting for me
no god or devils on my side
nothing to look forward to
no one to hold me back
unshackle my mind
cursed by my life
and waiting to die

failsafe
02:58

flatlined in the back of the van
where paramedics failed to help me breathe again
broken down and lost in the crowd
where all the shapes and sounds
blur together until i was found
on the floor
my eyes roll back into my head
in search of what was left by you
my lips are sewn together
cause the words wont spill out when it matters
it doesnt make things better
do you feel safe?
do you feel seen?
do you feel love in this memory?

web of lies
02:44
|
|||
my heads in my hands
buried in thought
the light stays on but no ones home
catching you slip up
a misstep in your footing
ill watch you fall
from your pedestal of lies
a betrayal on levels unseen by human eyes
returning crawling out to your thrown and begging for your life
what makes you different?
none of this makes you clean
dragging my name through the mud
for respect youll never see
i cant believe in something ive never felt for myself
i cant believe in a person that only lives in my dreams
my voice bounces off the ceiling
and right back down to me
the only truth ive known
im the only one looking out for me
my heads in my hands
buried in thought
the light stays on but no ones home
no ones home
im all alone
returning crawling out from your thrown
built on the backs of everyone youve lied to
your web starts to cave in
your web starts disintegrating

blood soaked apology
03:44
|

theres a pain in my chest
pulling away until the skin breaks
tearing away creating a void
concealing my thoughts
your words pass through
we both knew this would happen
it breaks me down till im nothing
stains left of you
remains collapsed and subdued
the only thing that i can say i regret
is leaving you to find your way out
until i see your face
my heart beats to the sound of your name
ill wait patiently till that day manifests
separate my sanity for sleep
until my heart stops
my lungs wither away
from calling out your name
my memory betrays me every time.
one day maybe someday soon
youll overtake this space again
tattered broken and bruised
my heart aches for you
and i feel the reaction of losing everything
and i feel the reaction of losing everything
in the absence of your breathing
separate my sanity
one day maybe someday soon
youll invade my mind again
until then...
