The Gloom
02:55
|

There's no ground beneath me anymore
I leapt one too many times and finally fell short
You were the weight I thought too heavy
Something that I could not carry
But it's a burden I will hold onto
'Til the end of days
I am the dark
The grey inside of you
I am loss
The solace in sadness
The peacefulness in pain
The overcast of fear and doubt
It's all so comforting
I wish I could say this wasn't true
But this is where life brought me
I'm in love with the gloom

Parting Gift

Cat's out of the bag
Distinctive laugh
Cast you down
My future, brighter now
But the past has made me tired
My head is getting lighter
Make plans to mend mistakes
Backseat drive through every state of mind
I promise you I tried
With my back against the wall
You can run away
Take every wrong move you've ever made away
And although you're gone
We still have these memories
And all the times you’ve shared with me
Clouding my psyche
With all love, there comes disease
And this love is fleeting
And this heart is bleeding
And this love is fleeting
When our love becomes disease
Get out of it
Cast you down
Break your back
Make it last
Wear a mask
Leave the past
In the past
Make it fast
Thanks for nothing
I never spoke of the demons in my head
To anyone alive or dead
Secrets kept
The things we've left
I wish I wished you nothing but the best
Faking smiles
Silence for miles
Signal weakening
A connection lost
You're just static
My memories are false
Printing your face
With features erased
Can't come to grips with your decided fate
Only lend a hand
For two more
What you've done will live on

Shortcuts to Hell
03:08
|

Lost and distraught
Caught up in a thought
Losing my mind
In plain sight
Perpetual nightmare
Sounds of fright in my right ear
Left with a souvenir
I traveled a light year
In and out of an abyss
Stay away from the edge
I know you wish you were dead
Don't bring me down
Take me out of your head
Don't build me up
And I can't bare it
This interference
My incoherence
Just break it
Just take it
Shortcuts to hell
Breathe
In through the nose
Out through the mouth
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in and out
Exhausted, and now I can let go
Maybe with this I can finally find bliss
But I'll never be whole again

Situational Thriller
04:44

I tell myself
Let it go
There's no need to worry about what you can't control
This place is a graveyard for hopeless hearts
Closed eyes as we depart
Misery
The greatest of all lost arts
Take apart my persona
Feed it to the pigs
Evaporate my sanity
Distort imagery
Twist the world in front of me
Corrupted circuitry
I'm not the first to be secluded
Fluorescent skies
Crack the lens in my mind
Now I'm terrified
I have nothing but time
Dissecting flies
Clip the wings of pride
Break the clock of life
Left with nothing but time
You're stretched end to end
I bet you love to feel so thin
But I've never felt this weightlessness
To feel nothing is pure bliss
It's just pure bliss
Pray for safety from the comfort of your own home
The sliding glass doors, a pathway to the unknown
Cold air that chills to the bone
Now gives me glimmers of hope
Pardon me, miss
I feel sea sick
You can keep the pieces of my soul
This is isolation
Trying my patience
Yet again
Make amends
Wash away
All the sin
From your hands
Go on
No gods

Commit to the Bit
03:15
|

Endure the pain
Ignore your shame
You’ve come this far
You can’t just walk away
Distracted by pictures of a broken past
Highlight reel ambitions
Never built to last
Fill the void with music
Underminded and useless
Tremors move the room
Use them to cope
Clear the lump in your throat
They say dead men tell no tales
I’d eat nails just to see you fail
Gone stale like the shit you sell
I hope I will see you in hell
I won't lie
I only plan on living long enough to see you die
To see you die
Is the only thing that I need
To start shoveling dirt over my body
She grasped what was merely an object displaying affection within ourselves
Hopelessness defines heavenly souls which resemble cruel manifestations of perjury
The ambush wasn't as painful as what we experienced yesterday
All sanity is forever embedded deep within the graveyards of humanity
You said I would not
Wouldn't go that far
You never even
Even tried that hard
To understand my
My reasoning
You only held back
And now you're gone
The memories are few and far between
But they’re all I have left inside of me

Lower my life expectancy
Shave a few years off for me
Apathy
Let it take control of me
Careless conscience
Clouding my perception
Satisfaction never seemed so far away
Again
I can watch myself disintegrate
Third person perspective of a tragic ending
Black halo
Atop your skull
Dreams once bright
Now dark and dull
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
Face my fears tonight
Or die of fright
Nowhere to run
I'm out of time
Face my fears or die
What's it gonna be?
A lackluster life or security
Just tell me
Black halo
Atop your skull
Dreams once bright
Now dark
Wish I knew what I was feeling half the time
Half the time I can't feel anything at all
Insistent urge
Consistent feelings I wish that I could just purge from my fragile memory
Ignorance falls from a filthy mouth
Innocence replaced with fear and doubt
Burn my body
If you love me
Burn it

Almost Heaven
03:17
|

I've got this itching feeling
That I might be waiting
For eternity
For you to look at me
The way I look at you
Indirect eye contact
Make no promises
I can't keep following
Tongues of solace
Hearts dishonest
Resistant frown
No common ground
Impasse reached
No time to weep
This is your chance
Move toward relief
Word vomit
Just for you
Undescribable
Elaborate ruse
Underneath layers of irony
A project left undone
Automatic disqualification
Find another way
These doors don't lead home
If you hold the key
It's time to let it go
Don't dig up old bones
The future is cold
But cannot be sold
For less than your soul
If you’re dealing with me
Things are looking bleak
Just take a look and see
Failure is just within our reach
If you look in the lens
You'll see a panoramic view
Run away now
Turn around and run away now
No responsibilities held
What do you have to say for yourself?
Lower your guard
Live a little
Drown your cares
In the well
This would be heaven / If it didn't hurt like hell

Stockholm syndrome love affair
I've fallen for my captor
Paranoia grows
Into fears of growing old
I still feel your eyes
Burning holes in the back of my head
I’ll probably die
On the side of the highway
On Interstate 79
Death is the only thing you can really choose
But nobody wants to
Pondering my own existence
I've come to question every instance
Death approaches with persistence
Should I give in or keep resisting?
Toss my body in a burning casket
I'm already in hell
Collect your coins
Throw all my wishes in the well
Reaper in my doorway
You block the light from getting in
Reap what you sow
Take ‘til you make it right
Breathing in all the lies
Makes you feel alright
Breathe in all the lies
Too weak to relieve the need
For truth behind what I believe
Headlights melt my face
As wheels roll out of frame
I’ll probably die
On the side of the highway
On Interstate 79
Death is the only thing you can really choose
But nobody wants to
Take it all out of me
Scrambling for relief
Lucid epiphany
Broken symphony
Losing sight of my ambitions
Passenger seat self-infliction
Cross your heart
Hope to die
Wish on a star
For something more
Leaping from the overpass
Waking up on broken glass

You won’t know
What hit you
It’s gonna knock you on the ground
You saw it coming
Mouth sewn shut
Stare in opposite directions
Ears at attention
You dealt me my own trick card
And I find it hard to believe
This was all just an accident
But I know it was
‘Cause that's what I am
But it doesn't relieve
The pain of what you've done to me
So tread lightly
Just give me one more reason to stay
And I'll go away
You won't know
What hit you
It's gonna knock you on the ground
Sincere flattery
I'll sweep you off your feet
And leave you begging for more from me
Now you sulk in bed
With regrets once again
She eats it all up
Your heroin
But you say
"Despite the baggage I carry, she's worth the pain that will never escape me"
A delayed overreaction
Perpetuated by my inhibitions
Simple addition and subtraction
Adding to the negatives
Leading to our fission
Nuclear fission
Doors closing in my face
I was right behind
But couldn't keep the pace
My legs go numb
Collapse to the pavement
As my mind caves in
Who do you think you're saving?
It's not redemption I'm awaiting
Tragic goodbyes
Under less than ideal circumstances
I’m sorry
Sorry I fixed myself for someone else
Rip it off and start again
I wish I believed in an end
I see this world through morbid eyes
Because everyone I love will surely die

It's so hard to accomplish anything when you feel like you've already failed
I've already failed
So I sit, stare, contemplate
Unable to concentrate on the positives
There's no weight
When everyone else's success
Triggers uncontrollable stress
I want to be alone
I want to end this mess

Perspective

My soul sleeps
Peacefully
As darkness creeps
Steadily
My heart pleas
Endlessly
Her ghost weeps
Can we find a way to bring you back
'Cause I've lost my will
Lost my thrill
Say you will
Safe and sound
No one's around
Living like I want to die
But still fearing the consequences
I’ll never
Second guessing
Be enough
Everything I've
Just give up
Ever worked for
Set your eyes to the stage
Look at what you've made
Your gaze is like a sedative
I just can't stay awake
Legs giving way
Ripped the page
Straight out of the book
Take a closer look
Fake
I can't stay awake
No matter how loud
I can't stay awake
I just can't
Making an effort to fuel the fire
But patience expired
I've got an urge to retire
But I'm coasting on anger
Priceless vices
Room of disguises
Mask in the mirror
I’ve never seen clearer
You have no reflection
No recollection of what you’ve done
I cut out your tongue
