IS THIS REALLY IT
02:56
|
|||
|
What a useless life // Another sleepless 3-6-5 // Erase the days // Fill them in with black and with grey
I've been dragging knives // Across both these tired eyes // Just to feel it twice // Because maybe I like suffering at night
Is it what you like? // when I'm two thirds out of my mind // I can keep on bending // but the body will break someday
Is this really it? // Is this really all there is? // Did I miss the climax // While I was out there wading in everybody else's shit?
I'm walking with the dead // Head dislocated // I could feel something instead // But I keep on sinking in

FOLLOW ME DOWN
04:11
|
|||
|
Came out swinging from the void // Spent a couple years in there // Spent every cent on losing it // Digging myself deeper // Than I ever thought I'd go
// OK //
Let's go // Follow me down // I could show you what it's like // We could see this out on the other side // And I could take your pain from you // And I could make it all my own // And if I die beside you // I'd die happy hope you know
(It's been a fucking nightmare man)

FLAT SKY
04:13
|
|||
|
Emotions aren't quite so manageable // When you drug yourself to death // Laid out beneath a flat sky // Beneath a ceiling of regret // Calm down for the thousandth time // How do you get so in your head?
The good lord has given you a body to neglect
Hopelessness is inescapable // So you might as well submit // A dead moon guides our footsteps // Through to the end // Fake gods and colored lights // Have you foaming at the mouth // Some day you'll realize
Even the brightest stars burn out
We're all made of paper and glass
Fragile as ever
Riddled with cracks
Look what you've done
To the people who love you
Nowhere to run
No heaven above

ENDLESS
02:40
|
|||
|
Came so close // Those nights ripped just like knives // Tore my head in two // Dead hands keep creeping up against the wall // Begging me to fall
I live like a coward
I forfeit control
I'm just like my father
Or so I've been told
(I'm running home)
I get it // It feels like it hurts forever // The burden of life is the endless endeavor // You want to be loved // Because that makes it better
// Sedate yourself // Erase yourself
Is it ever enough?
it's not ever enough.
Am I ever enough?
I'm not ever enough.

CURSE
04:54
|
|||
|
Feeling out the course // Traded in my youth for deadweight
The minutes slow down // And the fires go out
Feeding off the curse // Traded in my wings for shackles
I became the burden // I smothered the light
But when I die // You'll be alright
World keeps on turning.
