Hazy sky
Catch the sunrise
I'm running from the place called home
No more sleeping
Face my fears
Accept that something was never there
Last
To know
Clear mind's first to go
Last
To know
Clear mind's first to go
A reckless spark
Watch it burn
A sudden flash followed by thunder
Sudden blaze
Stubborn to extinguish
Smoke leads the way from all hesitation
How long
Can you stand by
And watch
You don't care if it's not your problem
You're a wildfire
Out of control
Burning the things that helped you grow
You're a wildfire
Out of control
Burning the things that helped you grow
Is this too much
Is it not enough
Will this blaze be my last call
Abusing time I've left behind
The people that cared the most
Running out of what stole my soul
Will this blaze be my last call
Abusing time I've left behind
The people that cared the most
Running out of what stole my soul
You broke the bottle
Your habits are out of control
Nothing left but blood
Nothing left you're all alone.

You can keep the key
The locks were changed
Like a vacant room
You stayed away
It's not so simple
I can't just let go
And I'll fight with myself to walk away
To stay and wait is fine it'll be another day
Butterflies turn into stone weighing me down
Cob webs we called home fall to the ground
The thought that you'd turn into someone else
Shapeshift into my perception
Erasing memories disguised as hope
Blurry lens of my projection
(Conjuring wishful thinking that you were there)
It's the thought that you'd turn into someone else
The thought that you'd turn into someone
And I'll fight with myself to walk away
To stay and wait it's fine it'll be another day
Butterflies turn to stone weighing me down
Cob webs we called home fall to the ground
I'll leave the lights on
An invitation to accept
Return to sender
If the lines disconnect
Decaying monument to you're laughter
An empty koi pond full of answers
You were a decoy
That came into my life
It was the fall of Troy
A blessing in disguise.

Why would you show up
Why would you even come
Ask me for help
But what have you done
High off of power
Becoming drunk with disgust
You didn't put in any work
Criticizing just because
Look at what we built
Years of effort gone to waste
We're so quick to burn it down
And spit in each other's face
Like the cracks
You never tried to repair
I take the blame
For all of your faults
Stockholm syndrome with my mind
Ransom locked away in a vault
High horse
Never come down
Take some more
A night on the town
High horse
Never come down
Take some more
A night on the town
It's another story
Engraved into my mind
It's not fair
Being the screen 'til the credits roll
Not again no not again
Being controlled by a remote
Lights go out
Silence through the crowd
Flames burst out
And I'm already burning
Lights go out
Panic in the house
Flames burst out
Soon there'll be nothing left
Here
Like a forgotten grave
You kept away
Now I'm stuck in this city
Now I'm with all my mistakes
You're stuck with all of your problems
Took black and white from the grey
Now who's here
Who's got your back
Time can try and slow down
But days will always change
Break a leg
Rehearse your lines for your next role
Keep it up
Be whoever the cameras show
Lights go out
Silence through the crowd
Flames burst out
And I'm already burning
Lights go out
Panic in the house
Flames burst out
Soon there'll be nothing left
Here
Like an endless maze
I lost my way
Can't remember the reasons
I stayed away
Yet nothing changes
It's all the same
It's all the same 'til
It's all the same
We're in hell

Highways where I lost control
Kept right long enough to hold my own
(Southbound no hope
Stick to the road)
The sun will swallow you whole
The sand doesn't care if you make it home
(Buried alive
Don't speak just drive)
Being dragged through the mud
Suffocating can't breathe
Like this
All the cuts and bruises
Are all well worth spent
Through rose colored glasses
Blood stains not just for show
Free will thrown out the window
(Bandage and gauze
Left dead for what)
Lost track of days gone
Forgot I'm on the run
(Sundown keep calm
Lights off stay armed)
Being dragged through the mud
Suffocating can't breathe
Like this
All the cuts and bruises
Are all well worth spent
Through rose colored glasses
Dead or alive
Being dragged through the mud
Suffocating can't breathe
Like this
All the cuts and bruises
Are all well worth spent
Through rose colored glasses

Cracks beneath the surface
What is it with the deep end
Why do I always sink
Why do I always get mad
When I find it hard to think
Cracks beneath the surface
Call it God
I call it shame
You call it faith
I say that's pain
Tell me, do you bleed?
Find your ways
To shake the truth
It always seems
To change its use
Why am I lying?
Oh, God
What have You done?
It seems
The edges aren't clear
Turn the
Page once more
Does it Seem
Clearer to you?
Cracks beneath the surface
Fighting
What is fighting anymore?
Does it really mean
Just
Who gets the better score?
Cracks beneath the surface
Sometimes it just isn't fair
But what does fairness
Mean out there
Fairness is madness
The lord is watching
Check your walls
His piercing gaze
Will end us all
What is your purpose?
Oh God
What have you done?
It seems
The edges are more clear
Turn the
Page once more
Does it seem
Clearer to you
And it's almost biblical
The amount of raw deceit
You see it means
Submission
Is admission of defeat
And I thought it was reality
To carry all this guilt
But I haven't seen myself
Since I found my free will
I sang that first verse
To remind myself
What It feels like to hurt
Bend your knees it's only fair
Submit again
Cracking on the surface
What is it with a service
Why is it all the same
Why can't I lay you down
Without living all your shame
Cracking on the surface
I will live

Into The Furnace
03:30
|

You've seen the other side
Too late to cry
Face to face so you cant run
Turning me inside out
Trying to hide my sense of doubt
Can't break this smile
Everything's working out just fine
I'll just stare out of this
Window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head
Inside my head
Everything fades away
I cant keep lying to myself
Scream at the wall for just a moment
Break all focus
And as my world turns red
I'll just keep staring out this
Window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head
I'll just keep staring out this window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head
You got me looking out this window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head
I'll just keep looking
Trying not to break focus
I'll just keep looking
Into the furnace
I'll just keep looking
Trying not to break focus
I'll just keep looking
I'll just keep looking
Out this
Window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head
You got me looking out this window
Trying to look at myself
All the life you see around me
Starts to burn inside my head

You should
Consult the moon
About the empty sky
Quiet streets
No ones around
Take a bite of the night
Take a bite of the night
See clear
Through the foggy mist
Like I'm almost there
Tired lungs
Gasping for air
Like the stabbing knives
Like the stabbing knives
Cold air
Stealing the night
I'm a million things
But I'm not alright
But I'm moving
D-d-d-dancing
Drink fear
It's another party
And the End of the year
For hate and greed
But I'm moving
D-d-d-dancing
Take some pills with beer
Letting ourselves go
There's no symbol for fear
The end is coming near
Toxic fumes in our eyes
We're all ready to die
Another nuclear winter
Don't stare at the light
Cold air
Stealing the night
I'm a million things
But I'm not alright
But I'm moving
D-d-d-dancing
Drink fear
It's another party
And the End of the year
For hate and greed
But I'm moving
D-d-d-dancing
You gotta let go
Everything's alright
As long as we're still dancing
We know we're still alive
The parties almost over
It's the end of the night
Staring into the light
It's time to say goodbye
Bye

Make my life
A pair of dice
Roll snake eyes
Lose your own life
On city streets
Night lights up
Shrill thoughts
As heart beats rot
Time stops dust blows
Forgot
My life falls to what
Ending with thoughts of
Suicide by cyanide
Where I left my mind
Waiting
Wanting
Searching
Begging
Waiting for someone
Wanting to go
Searching for truth
Begging to see you
Treasure
Waiting for the glory of a king
Pleasure
Wanting everything we see for free
Searching
For the prize we die
Begging
For a slice of their life
Waiting for the ending
All our hope rising up burning all the ashes
Showing all our flaws our scars
Bleeding out a broken heart
Look me in the eyes tell me I've lost
Stay right here with me
Ride these waves of insanity
Sleeping with no control
Closed our minds off to hide the truth
In the end it calls
Answers surface from our own hearts
Lost the keys to the door
We're always searching for something more
Chasing a life
No end in sight
Searching for a light
Absence of sight
Chasing
Ghost in dreams
Faking a life of luxury
Remember
Who I am I losing my mind
To the sand
Tantalizing fear
Of everything your near
Claustrophobia
Settles in sincere
Waiting for the ending
All our hope rising up burning all the ashes
Showing all our flaws our scars
Bleeding out a broken heart
Look me in the eyes tell me I've lost
What's the cause
Of painting flaws
On the walls
Of their hearts
Where's the love
Find the hate
Eradicate
Evaporate
What's the cause
Eradicate
Find the hate
Eradicate
Evaporate
Waiting for the ending
All our hope rising up burning all the ashes
Showing all our flaws our scars
Bleeding out, a broken heart
Look me in the eyes tell me I've lost
Stay right here with me
Ride these waves of insanity
Stay right here with me
Ride these waves of insanity

Built up
Feeling like I'm nothing worth the time to
Fix or improve
Replace and consume
Caught up
Wishing it would get easier but it
Can't be this hard
And I can't be this strong
Peeling my skin in hopes to reveal something other than faults
Wounds before they heal
Keeping my distance
I hate to admit it
The complications of irrelevance
Peel the skin
Peel the skin
Peel the skin
It must come off
Keep distance
Keep distance
Keep distance
I can't control the way I used to be every step I took wrong
Growing pains shifting time still goes on
Lost sight of the reasons visions I couldn't keep
I can't see the forest for a single leaf.
Oh the way I used to be every step I took wrong
Growing pains shifting time still goes on
Lost sight of the reasons visions I couldn't keep
I can't see the forest for a single goddamned leaf
Fucked up
Put my ears to the ground listening close for a sound
I should've heard by now
Back up 'til you can feel the wall
You can't cut corners when you're forced into one
Parasites
Foggy eyes can't seem to recognize
Disbelief in hearing any side
No peace of mind
No peace of mine
No peace I can find
Parasites
I feel them moving
Fucking parasites
I can't stop moving
Inch by Inch I'll find no place I can hide
I can't control the way I used to be every step I took wrong
Growing pains shifting time still goes on
Lost sight of the reasons visions I couldn't keep
I can't see the forest for a single leaf.
Oh the way I used to be every step I took wrong
Growing pains shifting time still goes on
Lost sight of the reasons visions I couldn't keep
I can't see the forest for a single goddamned leaf
Shed your skin the snakes are always known to come
When they see prey exploiting you for what they want
The parasites are rooted deep but not for long
Content inside better than it ever was
Shed your skin the snakes are always known to come
When they see prey exploiting you for what they want
The parasites are rooted deep but not for long
Content inside better than it ever was
Shed your skin the snakes are always known to come
When they see prey exploiting you for what they want
The parasites are rooted deep but not for long
Content inside better than it ever was

Time and Clarity

Don't know what to do
Fingers bloody
Walls stained
Will I ever leave this room
Caught again
My mind's intent
Panicking to bloom
Pollen spreads
No oxygen
How will I make it out
I have to make it out
Falling into the same routine
The roads look the same
All around me
I can't see the cliff side
Or hear waves beneath
I'll walk this path
But not with ease
And I swear
I'm not insane
It's too much weight
I can't complain
Too much at stake
Make me give in
Broken ankle
Crippled conscience
Chaos reigns
I need time
Where to start
I have a purpose
And a beating fucking heart
Arms reach out
Find a ledge
Don't look down
I'll make it
Even if I can't be found
Like the wolves
They'll drag you by your feet
And we'll make it so far
It'll bring you to your knees
Am I insane
Why should I wait
Feeling disdain
I've lost all hope
Nowhere to go
No way to cope
Pouring rain
Falling back
Hands lose hold
Feel a feeling that
My feeling's getting old
In the mud
Down is up
Can't see clear
See the sunlight coming
But it's never here
Like the wolves
They'll drag you by your feet
And we'll make it so far
It'll bring you to your knees
Still alive
Accepting no defeat
But I'm walking while I bleed
Hands and knees
No place for me
Down but not out
I'm getting up
And I'll keep on swinging
Even if you're bringing the end
Down but not out
I'm getting up
But I'll keep on swinging
Nothings holding me back
Don't know what to do
Fingers bloody
Walls stained
Will I ever leave this room
Caught again
My mind's intent
Panicking to bloom
Pollen spreads
No oxygen
How will I make it out
I have to make it out
Falling into the same routine
The roads look the same
All around me
I can't see the cliff side
But hear waves beneath
I'll walk this path
But not with ease
The roads look the same
All around me
The roads look the same
All around me
Like the wolves
They'll drag you by your feet
And we'll make it so far
It'll bring you to your knees
Still alive
Accepting no defeat
But I'm walking while I bleed
Hands and knees
No place for me
How will I get out
I can't get out

Last Train Home

Light pollution
I can't see the stars that guide me home
If they're even there I won't ever know
I only have streetlights to feel less alone
Slip out of body
Hover above me like I've always done
And start circling into the unknown
Losing my grip, common sense, I should just let go
Become a ghost
Chemical reactions no longer real
Memories I fabricated for years
Of some signs I misread, reading a dead language
Inevitable
I didn't make the choice to end up here
If I'm being punished for my own sins
I'm leaving on my own terms
No longer dealing with it
A big mistake
Waking up today
Waking up today
When I know exactly what that means
Know exactly what is expected of me
It won't go away
I can't feel the rain
It doesn't feel the same
When it's pouring right in front of my face
Feel more alive in reflection of window panes
Still clinging onto the thought that
It could all be better
Yet still I wince when the weight shifts
And suddenly it doesn't matter
I was so ashamed to be wounded
So I refused to heal
Now I'm choking back all the infection
I no longer feel
Can't seem to shake
This feeling I make
This feeling I hate
Like the path always ends the same
Even when the journeys change
I'm so afraid
All the peaks I've climbed to make it here
Are gone; the rain makes mountains disappear
When will it ever get better
So far it's only gotten worse
Still clinging onto the thought that
It could all be better
Yet still I wince when the weight shifts
And suddenly it doesn't matter
I was so ashamed to be wounded
So I refused to heal
Now I'm finishing pretty much everything
The end is so surreal
So ashamed
Never here
So ashamed
Never heal
Light pollution
I can't see the steps that guide me home
If they're even there I won't ever know
I only have headlights to feel less alone
Slip out of body
Hover above me like I've always done
But this time seems a bit different
Take the step, no more senses, I have to let go
Become a ghost
Chemical reactions no longer there
Memories I'll never get to share
Just some signs I misread, terminal illness
Inevitable
I made the choice to end up here
There's only two ways to forgive sins
I've had my confession and
I'm dealing with it
I was so ashamed to be wounded
So I refused to heal.
So ashamed
Never here
So ashamed
Never heal

A Trip To The Moon
04:50
|

I've gone critical
Temperature keeps rising
Energy, this life's
Got to go
The chemicals, the chemicals break burst and
Burst to flame
I must contain a purpose, lest I explode in
Vain
The only way is up
But make no mistake
So it begins
Behind me is a hypothesis
Beating on my chest is the weight of the world
It helps me disconnect from earthly burdens
Life as I know it
Yet I am stuck in the chaos, and as I ascend everything makes sense
Nothing makes sense
And there is no breath deep enough, no miracle to change
This course of events
So I strap up so I strap up so I can
Stabilize
Dance on the flames of a blazing fire to stay alive
While our very creation consumes us
We stabilize
If there's really a balance in everything, that's what I'd like to see
I'd risk everything just to see for my self
Hit me with that delta V
Oh the chemicals
There's nothing without them but I'll never see them again
They will jettison
And this journey costs everything, but I'll risk it again and again
For a glimpse of home
To finally see it for what it is
Fuck if I care if it's not enough, I am, here is, this is what could have been
I can't leave this vessel
It's in a vacuum, and it's highly imperfect
Made with mixed intentions, imperfections
It speaks with an electronic voice
Who's really seen freedom?
Where is it?
How could we ever understand?
I doubt those stars have answers
But I'm going
I'm going 'cause I can't stop
It's moving closer and closer
It could be in reach
Look at me
Just take a good long fucking look at me
