Gravedancer 02:59
It's not that i'm talking to myself again that never stopped, but now i'm starting to listen and the voices in my head keep telling me that i should end myself i never thought that, i'd be here again but they keep on coming back i keep letting them in and i swear someday i'll tell myself I'd rather outlive you so i can dance on your grave and that's more respect than you deserve for making me feel this way You can sit back and tell me that it's all inside of my head but that's the problem you can sit back and try to understand but it's a pain i feel almost everyday it's more than i can ever write more than i care to explain but right now i can stand here and say I'd rather outlive you so i can dance on your grave and that's more respect than you deserve for making me feel this way I'd rather outlive you so i can live myself so sick of being alive for someone else

Hollow Shell 01:24
Hollow shell, i remember a face so full of joy and mine once was the same Hollow shell how you've suffered a life so full of joy and i watched from the inside Hollow like the life you lead worn out tendencies Hollow like the life you lead full of the lies you bleed

Blood Thins 03:43
I'm awake and i am breathing i don't think things can get better than this i'm a snake and now you're leaving i don't care and i never did I can't believe it's happening I have forseen, still did nothing Blood thinner than water i drown my eyes love bleeds no longer unsatisfied end of the rope bonds were made to break no place for hope no end to this Could i have been a thorn in all this ? could i have stopped tragedy sing ? so ignorant, ignorant bliss is my only sin Ignorant bliss is my only sin I'm alive and i am breathing i don't think things can get better than this i'm a snake and now you're leaving i don't care and i never did Blood thins, like the water i drown in My sins, will be buried in my skin

You always wanted me to create something as beautiful as you said i was well this is how i see myself Nothing but a tired, miserable man living his life with his head in his hands no more love resides inside of me now i've become emptier than hate You said if i try i'd find something to live for well here i am and i'm barely trying Maybe i still hate myself maybe i'm afraid to feel anything else emptier than hate You said if i try i'd find something to live for i promise you that i'll start trying Where do i begin to unlearn ? weren't promises made to be broken ? As the blood, in my veins is replaced by anger i'm so broken down and tired of being nothing

Cavity 03:39
What do you know about the dark ? what do you know about living with your eyes sewn shut ? what do you know besides the warmth of your bed and all the comforts of home ? What do you know about the pressure ? of living in fear of any direction and place to go and i one tracked mind set on sorrow Constantly in doubt of anything substancial What do you know about living with your eyes sewn shut ? Slowly losing my will to stand on my own slowly losing my will to try to be more than just a false step of a failure to the ones i love more than just the dirt at your feet to be complete Well I reckon, my actions don't seem justified on any terms not when it's based on your outlook of perfection a world still stuck in a monochrome mess lower expectations are surely for the best Imperfect but no one deserves this Eyes wide open, my heart's in my hand disregard my fears, my fate's unplanned I'm in a cavity you can't find relentless thoughts on my mind deep down inside i know there's no examples of this to show What do you know about the pressure ? of living in fear of any direction and place to go and i one tracked mind set on sorrow Slowly unravelling, hopelessly pulling strings Slowly losing my will to stand on my own two feet slowly losing my will slowly losing my will to try

Sundown 03:48
Drinking more than i need to just to fall asleep some nights and speaking less than i should to help me save my life It's all gotten so hard since the pain came in and tore my world apart it's getting so fucking hard since i tore my world apart Sun please, stay down like depression it'll come around Sun please, stay down like these days the sun will come around and wake me from my dreams of being free again Sun please, stay down And i know tomorrow wont be so difficult but it's never set in stone it's easier said than done to leave this misery alone Wake up, start again i won't let this anger in Wake up, start again i won't let depression win wake up, start again Sun please, stay down like depression it'll come around Sun please, stay down like these days the sun will come around and wake me from my dreams of being free again Wake up, start again i won't let this anger in Wake up, start again i'll greet the sun like a long lost friend

Sink 02:16
Do you remember the last time that you meant a smile do you remember the wind brush your face or has it been to long now since you've been hiding behind the mask you've made how long has it been ? since you've been living this life you suffocate your existence in Sink back into a hole won't you sink to a place where no one knows that you exist a boundary once overthrown wont you sink to a place where no one knows you You're not the light you were before a reflection of what's not there anymore

Crows Feet 02:24
The lines above your brow are getting more defined by the hour i know i can wear a soul down and my apologies for the tone i speak to you and the mood i bring to the room Don't get ahead of yourself we both know that there's something wrong with me don't get behind yourself, you're predictable maybe change ain't a bad thing maybe change ain't so bad when you're me i'm sorry that it's only now that i'm sorry The lines above your brow are getting more defined by the hour i know i can wear a soul down i'm sorry that i wore your soul down My apologies with no sincerity i can't help myself when i speak to you.

Wasting Away 03:28
Wasting away, wasting every single day hiding my face, hiding away from reality and this ain't a home anymore it's just four walls, a roof and a front door and i don't want to sit around every night, on my own reminding myself that i need to breathe I don't want to be here anymore set fire to the wind of the front door as soon as i walk away As soon as i walk away, erase my memory I don't want to sit around every night, on my own reminding myself i need to breathe Breathe All i wanted a place that i could drown my sorrows in hang my head down low I don't want to be here anymore set fire to the wind of the front door as soon as i walk away I don't want to be here anymore than you want me around set fire to the wind of the front door erase my memory.

Worry You 06:02
It's getting past the point of irony watching my life fall slowly into a dream one you wake from cold and alone sweat drips from my head down to my bones Sunk eyes surrounded by a pale red hue don't know where i am or how i should feel It's getting hard to find somewhere where i want to be for more than a night of restless sleep hellbent on being able to say that i'm okay (i'm not okay) I'm running out of lies to tell you when i'm feeling blue i just don't want to worry you worry you This house resembles the rest of my life a goddamn mess that no one wants to be inside "It's alright, you'll be just fine" fuck you i just hate that line Sunk eyes surrounded by a pale red hue don't know where i am or how i should feel but i've found a way to help me get through Become a disconnect from everything from everyone i've learnt to see there's beauty in just getting by i don't want to live my life as a disconnect from everything of everyone i've learnt to see there's beauty in just getting by i'm so sick of being tired all the time And it feels so naive to say "i'm not as sad as i used to be" But it's still hard to find somewhere where i want to be for more than a night of restless sleep Hellbent, but i can finally say "I'll be okay"
