Collapse 03:22
Stuck in a silence, I just can’t wait to turn it around Do you want to know how I’m feeling now? I’m broken, I’m broken and void of emotion How can we compare? We weren’t made this way Can you see in this life any reason to live? The struggle goes on, even when it stops I see no way out, I don’t want to give up But its becoming too much Don’t you wish you could send me to sleep? I can’t seem to figure out where it went wrong The years passed and nothing changed at all Is it worth feeling anything anymore? It feels selfish to say no Take me out of this body, dispirit So I’ll stop breathing in and out Let my lungs collapse I’ll pour water over the fire inside In this world, theres no need for it Can you see in this life any reason to live? The struggle goes on, even when it stops I see no way out, I don’t want to give up But its becoming too much Don’t you wish you could?

Breathe me in and out Feel me burn now How does it feel? Are you scared now? Do you pull yourself apart when you think of all your regrets? You question yourself but they remain unanswered Breathe me in and out Feel the burn now How does it feel? Are you scared now? I can’t stop thinking about How bad it must have felt To stand on top of the earth and let it swallow you up I can’t say you deserved it But you belong in a black hole Rotting, the worms feast on you From that look I knew you never understood What was on my mind There’s no way You’re making it out alive To see another day **Formed from your skeletons I created some demons** The voice of a failure Has so many words to say But no one believes them Until they’ve carved their way Fear only drives us mad Led to believe we’re nothing And were nothing more than what our minds make us believe I can’t say you deserved it But you belong in a black hole Rotting, the worms feast on you

Avarice 03:26
I will go down before I beg for anything You want to see what I see? Then jump from your ivory tower But you don’t want to give it away It makes me sick to think that we’re made the same Put yourself in our shoes just for a day Would it be easier for you to execute Not listen to the desperate voices And I want to see you come down To the level of those you despise so badly You birthed the idea that you should have it all And we should have none to call our own So can I pay with blood and flesh? Cut me open, what am I worth inside? What am I worth inside Take my tongue so I can’t uncover your secrets You birthed the idea that you should have it all And we should have none to call our own We have a fear of being awake so we just keep falling asleep Return to your hive and rest easy I’ll stare long enough so I go blind I’ll bury my head in the sand and wait for the tide.
5.
You made me out to be the liar How dare you try to bring me down with you Do you believe that this world is in debt, To you and all of your leeches? You take this place for granted But this world is not your home If you don’t believe me I will give this all away Its cruel to imagine You’d be so sick As I look into your eyes I can see all of your lies Speak the unspoken Be the becoming This can’t go on We’ve come too far Do you believe that this world is in debt To you and all of your leeches? You’re a virus on this earth For you, there is no cure As I look into your eyes I can see all of your lies Keep underestimating me Keep lying to yourself And all of those around you Your words make you look like cowards You all left me Liars Be the disaffect You want to cut the cords You want to cut them all As I look into your eyes I can see all of your lies Do you believe that this world is in debt To you and all of your leeches? Do you believe that this world is in debt?

The Path 02:46
Every day is a fight to feel something Following the light that directs me Do I need to be here, Or do I keep walking the path? I’m lost and I can’t remember which is the right way I’m going deeper into the ground You can’t save me now I’ve had this feeling so many times before But this time its different, I feel hopeless and lost I want to take off and never come back down I walk in circles going around and around What are we waiting for? Where do I go from here? Tormented Demented Have I lost my mind or just lost direction? Disconnected Misdirected I think I’ve lost my mind I’ve lost my fucking mind I become the recluse Put me back together

Mauve 01:14

Desiderium 03:34
You cannot see whats become of me Don't want to look in the mirror again Don't like what I see This isn’t me I drowned and someone else resurfaced Its not too late to save myself I look around for better parts Don't remember becoming this I almost went too far I will crawl out from the mouth of hell And I’ll never be the same person I was I’ll rewire all my thoughts on my own And you’ll never see the person that I’m not Feel the withdrawal start to sink in You don’t know where I’ve been Feel it sink in, disconnecting My thoughts don’t belong to me again I will crawl out from the mouth of hell And I’ll never be the same person I was I’ll rewire all my thoughts on my own And you’ll never see the person that I’m not It’s not too late to save myself I look around for better parts Don't remember becoming this I almost went too far I could look into my own eyes and never know who was looking back I will crawl out from the mouth of hell I will crawl out from the mouth of hell And I’ll never be the same person I was I'll rewire all my thoughts on my own And you’ll never see the person that I’m not I will crawl out from the mouth of hell

Bloom 04:15
I feel the crumble of the walls begin I don’t want to wake up It’s never enough Our struggle feeds the flame The water runs dry We’re not the same I’m still falling I’m out of my mind Now I won’t last Watching all the bodies floating all away Forgetting what they’re here for its just another day I can see through them, I’ve seen it all They’ll take a part of you and watch you fall They congregate, laugh and pray you fail But they’ve been bitter a long time You have to get out while you still have the chance Our struggle feeds the flame The water runs dry We’re not the same I’m still falling I’m out of my mind Now I won’t last See it And now I see it I can finally be liberated Pull me from the outside into the light Watching all the bodies floating all away I’ll bloom in the dark It’s cold but it keeps on growing I tell myself that I’ll figure it out That I have to keep on moving I see it And now I see it I can finally be liberated

Layogenic 03:51
If you can see it don’t get too close I know you wanted to have something more than most Your own happiness won’t last too long You better believe in something more than those There’re things that you can’t see It’s not your fault Until its just too late Its too late Your eyes, they will deceive You’re blinded by this Mark my words, keep your distance I slip in and out of wanting more and wanting less You can’t live in my head Its like being under a spell by a witch The illusion allures me I’m so confused I wanted more This isn’t what it was meant to be So how can this be so fucking empty? I keep on staring at the void in me Waiting, waiting for you all to see The darkness consumed by me I can almost taste it I can see it from here but it doesn’t seem right If you can see it don’t get too close I know you wanted to have something more than most Your own happiness won’t last too long You better believe in something more than those More than those

These memories fade into the back of my mind Wasn’t hard to let go when I saw your colours I climbed up from the bottom You won’t watch me lose grip again I didn’t have the time for All the lies you told me back then You’re not the comfort that we once knew The shift in patterns tells me what to do As we grow older, the silence thickens I wanted to think you could be forgiven I keep holding on Just to see this collapse in front of me You can’t take someone to hell if they’re already there Burning and burning This fire will kill And burn everything Everything we ever knew I got too close Now watch me burn The flames consume me Now this just frees me from you But you want to hear all about me But turn your back once more And you won’t hear a thing Launch myself upwards into the stratosphere Find myself in a place where there is no fear These memories fade into the back of my mind Wasn’t hard to let go when I saw your colours

Minutes 05:04
Don't waste your time Its never good enough You’ll only become obsessed with the words I spoke and you won’t understand A word I said until you look inside yourself for answers I don’t believe what I’ve done I can’t believe what I’ve done I don’t believe it I’m coming undone I feel so uneasy The clock has stopped ticking for me This world is all over Pick up the pieces and throw them into the ocean Throw them in and watch them sink right down to the bottom Watch them, they’ll never come back up There's no way to feel alive in these times I’m coming undone I feel so uneasy The clock has stopped ticking for me This world is all over I know you feel it I know I’m not alone with these thoughts in my head I know you feel it I’m coming undone I feel so uneasy I’m seeing double I need to wake up from these dreams All we can do is hope
