Wake me – I'm lost in this dream
Tell me, has this all been a nightmare?
Listen
Soaking in sweat much faster than I've ever been
I have been holding a grudge all along
Hold me, let me know
Save me from what I've become
I can say I've grown up
But I secretly keep falling apart
And I'm heartless no doubt
But your heartlessness is wearing me out
Now I've figured you out
No need to explain yourself one more time
You're just like me and it's tripping me out
Maybe it's wrong to believe
That it's just the way you've learned to cope
You've pulled me too close – this time you've got me by the throat
Let go
Tripping me out
Wearing me out

My Curse
03:08

Cover up what has become my curse
Building up to eternal at first
Everlasting hours of insurgent cower
Voices growing louder
Painting every white intention red
Was I ever meant to be clean
And emotionally sober
Once again I'll cover up
Feed you with this silver cup
Make it up
Over and over
And I'll wait it out
Till you see what I'm about
With or without
It's over, it's over again
Unlike some I remain in silence
I'm corrupt with internal violence
Now this heart's so worthless
Leaves me torn and mindless
While the fucked up signs
Always pointed me the other way
I was surely meant to be mean
Surely so
Has this become the story of my life?
Discarding what could have been so right
Has this become my never ending fight?
Discarding what could have been so right

Remembering Never

I lie
I wear this crooked smile
While still masking this heart so vile
Will the empty fill up soon?
Will I take this with me to my tomb?
There is not a thing more that I dread
Than my blood that has never turned red
Like I never meant a word I said
Now I'm lost in my sick, twisted head
Regretting regrets I'll regret again
I will run on as one
I will duck down for cover without a gun
I'll survive this attack
Or just beg for you to take me back
Now I have now conquered this faltering pain
But internal incisions remain
All my motives are cold as rain
Like the ice that still runs through my veins
As for every single tear that you shed
Well I guess you won't care when I'm dead
I remember the words I said
That don't matter 'cause nothing is left
I'll never regret it again

Sick Cycle

Now I'm on my last breath
Doesn't make it easier to start over
When there's nothing left here but regret
I'm still going through the motions in my head
Let's pretend you're dead
Everyone looks relieved
Does anyone feel like me?
Everyone gets deceived
Endless sick cycle
Everyone gets to breathe
Happiness make believe
It's like pulling teeth
Endlessly
Takes time to make go away
Push it back and let it decay
Hearts never seem to escape disarray
Lies are what scream in my head
Trying to pretend that you're dead
Words that were best left unsaid were still said
Now I'm on my first death
Doesn't make it easier to trust myself
Knowing everything I said was meant for you
Inconsistent with repent
Let's pretend you're dead
Everyone's disbelief
Everyone looks at me
Have I failed to see
Hindsight's killing me
Everyone gets to breathe
Happiness make believe
It's like pulling teeth
Hopelessly
