Everyday I wonder where I am now
God help me
Redirect this heart of petty love
It's not the same
When it doesn't mean a thing
These words remain
But can't stand on their own
It's not the same
When it doesn't mean a thing
These words remain
But the silence grows deeper
Unsheltered heart
Never to know the pain it takes to grow
Unsheltered heart
Never to know
Never to grow
This world is smothering me
With both hands gripped around my neck
This world is smothering me
With my hands tied behind my back
Left with nothing
Endless sacrifice for
Endless frustration
Is it all worth it?
But with no forgiveness
How can we ever forget this
I should have known better
Than to ever believe, ever believe
Oh how I should have known better
This world is smothering me
I can't believe this place I'm in
The walls come down
They wore so thin
I read these words to clear my mind
To shed some light
And open my eyes
To open my eyes
But with no forgiveness
Can we ever forget this
I should have known
I should have known better

Beautiful Love
03:53
|

Do you remember what it feels like
I can't remember the last time I felt love
False affections cloud my mind
And I'm so sick of the loneliness
And meaningless words softly spoken
How could it get any worse
I'm still sick
This taste that doesn't last
The pain I can't get past
I've got to let it go
How can I ever feel
Frozen over, I can't get past these thoughts of you
How can I ever heal
I wake up with your voice in my head
Screaming, yet patient, for me to bring you back
So I'll say a prayer for this
To keep our memories safe
To keep you safe
I never thought that I would feel this way again
But those things you said stuck with me and I can't forget
I can't forget
I can't forget
You
Crawling back to you
My mind fights back
To be back with you
Never forget I'm
Crawling back to you
Beautiful love
Til the end for you
Til the end
Beautiful love

Thriving
03:37

It's just the way
That it comes and goes like a storm
Just a downward spiral
And it's the way
That it tears your insides out
Makes you question
What's the point
You grasp
You cringe
Like a rusted hinge on a broken door
And I don't know what you're thinking
But I'm
Positive that I can't hold on
I can't hold on
Anymore
I've built everything I cared for
On a flooded shore
And in the next few years
It'll all be gone
Buried underwater
Forgotten
Long forgotten
But there's a side of me
That you will never see
Just keep your whits about you,
It's the only thing
That separates you from me
You'd be a fool to follow me Anywhere
Eyes wide shut
You always kept your
Eyes wide shut
Searching through
These broken homes
Only to find you
Thriving at the bottom
Cast Aside
You're nothing more than a passerby
Footsteps that fall behind
Forgotten face
Forgotten name
Covered by darkness
You fall and decay
With one last look at my reflection
I see myself staring
Only to find
You

Temperament
03:12
|

The taste of rage
An innocent smile fades away
The madness of a man
That dare not speak his name his name
Looking for life
Searching for love
Craving devotion
But only finding blood
Only blood
I share nothing
Cause something was never there
It never has been
It's disappeared
And the loneliness
The loneliness is what keeps me warm
Keeps me wilted
On a roses' thorn
I'll just play dead some more
I'll just play dead
Just waiting for my soul
To burn out
Wanting nothing
But my heart to fall out
To fall out of my blackened chest
I'll just play dead
To fall down and put my body to rest
I'll just play dead
Just let me play
Now I feel like nothing but flesh
Giving up unwanted breath
All this hate
Taking up space
Forever hiding
Out of place
Looking in the mirror at
This disgrace
I've lost it all
Nothing to replace

Undiscerning / Blind Me
03:40
|

Everything is coming down around me
My will is dying slowly
But surely I was promised
Greater things
Those words were paper thin
They blew away with the wind
I tell the blood to stop its flow
Let the sun lose its glow
My mouth is covered by a hand
That doesn't know the truth
Doesn't hear the lies
Or see these damaged insides
Devoid of this
The hand it suffocates me
I can't stand up
I can't fix this
Let the dead ends fall into
Something better than this
I want more
I am less than this
Unworthy of another second chance
I can't stand up
I can't fix this
My mother can't tell me different
I've bent the structure of her words of endearment
And this is just a testament
To how I'll react
To the pain
And this is just a sign
That I can't stay in line
With the others
Now I face this world alone
I face it alone
This world is smothering me
