End it You swore it on your word It's' not the first of your empty promises Breaking You're even closer to when you first began Lost and never found You've spiraled out of control Buried under your own weight As you sink inside a hole Could you turn away From the only thing Bringing life some comfort and ease You'd rather be swimming in a flask Drowning so happily Creature of habit You have to have it Clinging so desperately to things you think you need Each time You try to justify filling the void inside Only widens the gap of hearing and your pride Self imploding You've become your own poison Buried under the weight of substance A slave to paradise Will you own your life Will you own your life Lost and never found Just as you always had hoped Buried under your own weight As you sink inside Say it You swear that it's the end It's not the first of your empty promises Shaking Feel it in your bones When on the edge I'm no stranger to ruin Cause when the devil you know Feels like home You'll realize it may be too late You've fallen off the edge again Heart first to the pit Straight into ruin Your Devil feels like home So now we start over Back at Day zero

I struggle to see the light Through my hands in front of my eyes How do you silence the voices That scream in between your ears Mirror mirror on the wall Do you reflect the truth within us all This image of ruin Has made its way to the other side Damaged nerves Has left my vision misconstrued And turned up side down I want to let go of this part of me What I think and say Can't be from me Or should it be When my enemy is the inner me I will break apart to find my peace Where do I stand When I am My own worst enemy Stand in my way Watch me breakdown I am my own worst I want to let go of this part of me My sight has adjusted to the shade If I could see the world through different eyes I could find a reason to keep my life My eyes are losing light

The truth I refuse to lose I can fix you Piece by piece Dear God Please come back to me I see the paint on the walls Start to slowly fade Is this a sign Of you leaving me Can you really be mad At me for reaching out When all I want is you with me now I am so close Don't leave just yet I am so close Closing I see you lost your light But why must I be the one to burn? Don't leave Been left here on my own Is it my curse to live And to be alone I can feel the floor Start to slowly sink From the weight Of carrying your body Would it really be bad If I simply quit here And just let it take me Left to wander this earth All on my own To struggle and find my own way Is it really a curse Or a blessing to die alone I'll take on the role of god And put you back myself Pull the strings of a fractured heart To fill the void you left I refuse the truth

Body 03:20

I once thought that we were friends But you wanted more than I would give You took advantage of our situation When I laid my head to rest You are a nightmare That haunts me Your moment of bliss is my hell That's never ending I've prayed for the sunrise Waiting for that morning sun But there's no light here Now you left me in the dark Weary bones, faded heart Tell me how you sleep at night Knowing I will never sleep again I've tried to shed my skin But you're still in the cracks of my bones No peace, no rest Just go Just go So I sit and I wait And I cry and I scream But I feel Oh so numb So I repeat And repeat So I sit and I wait And I cry just to feel something But your touch Leave me numb I'm undone You can lie and say you've done no wrong But I'll be the truth that haunts you You lit a fire inside me That I'll use To burn you The hell I've been through doesn't show When my body's cold Body's cold You lit a fire inside me That I'll use To burn you The hell I've been through doesn't show When my body's cold Body's cold

Elephant 03:10
lyrics

The creaking sound of the floorboards Echoes throughout the halls I just wish that you would speak up I wish that you would say something Can you feel the tension The ceiling is showing its cracks Are you willing to sit there As it all collapse Somethings are permanent And can't be erased There's no way to cover up The faults in the ceiling Heavy is the crown upon the head Who wants the throne Well I have carried More of its burden than you We all had a part to play But you just refused Why don't you say Something I'm begging you But if you're gonna stay closed Then I won't be here Our weak foundation Didn't withstand the heavy steps That we took throughout the house But I'm ready to rebuild now All I need is your helping hand To help me tear it down All I need is your helping hand But you cover your heart and mouth Drawn in wet cement Some memories we can't forget But I know you rather Keep our sins in the basement I just wish you'd speak up The silence is deafening Why won't you speak Do you feel the tension These walls are giving in Are you willing to die here Buried under the weight The floorboards are giving out Yet you don't even blink So you would rather lose it all Than even say you're sorry I've looked past your mistakes But there's somethings we just can't forget You've chosen to stand below The elephant in the attic I just wanted you to speak up Cuz I can forgive you But I'll never forget

Journalist 02:29
lyrics

Journalist You tried to explain The things that you've been through Sometimes with no avail Did you bleed in vain Or was it for a greater purpose Now you sit in the page Slowly fading becoming worthless So write this down For once you'll be thinking out loud Put the pen to the paper one last time Stain these pages with your mind You push yourself But for what In hope it goes away Some things just can't be put into words But with an action Will your point be heard Will you feel it now When all the words In your head spill out All over the concrete spent For them to witness Will this moment Bring you your peace And on that final day I watched you lie in a bed made full of glass Subscribed to prescriptions and medications well enough to make any man sick You spoke to that picture of Jesus on the ceiling that you swore was alive And that it was true In that room full of spite; children crawling, mother crying, family mourning All before you died And as I sat and I watched as you tapped on the hourglass as it ran dry All I could do Was write How many times you slept And dreamt of never waking Your words cycling as they dance around When you pulled the trigger Your last words Were the only ones found

Selfless 03:00
lyrics

I have become so selfless Outpouring love From a body that's depleted Tell me all that we need And I'll repair myself to fit Cuz I just want what's best For you I want what's best Look at how I loved I have given everything I molded myself To fit in the space Of what this family needs Look at how I loved I have given everything A shapeless heart To seal any hole And to stop the bleeding How far are you willing to go For you I become unmade These hands turn blue from loss I lose the sensation As my fingers go cold to the touch I've become so selfless I have given everything So what is left to give When every act only widens the distance Will I ever fit Into your ever changing heart Look at how I loved I have given everything I molded myself To fit in the space Of what this family needs Look at how I loved I have given all of me A shapeless heart To seal the hole And to stop the bleeding

Abandoned With no hope for a home Only left with the fading echo Of your ghost I waited By the window that will forever be closed I feel your absence with every step I take to move on I'll pretend (I'll pretend) Pretend that it all makes sense I'm trying (I'm trying) Trying to put it all together A second try Yet I still haven't made my peace Cuz life without you Just doesn't make sense to me Never gaining this world alone This place makes no sense This earth is not my home Still sitting Still waiting By that window you swore that you would Return You wouldn't leave me here Isolated I can't get rid of this Overbearing feeling That I'm the cause of your absence No hope No hope All I needed was for you to love And I know that life is fragile But I never thought that yours would be shattered Encompassed you kept me At peace with no worries That feeling faded when you turned to ash And I never let go but I knew that you couldn't hold And I learned so quick That love was not enough Love was not enough The ground beneath my feet has gone Floating in an emptiness And I'm ready to let it go I've lost your voice among the noise I let it drown me But I still hear you call my name I am nothing without you Nothing I am nothing but your name If I'm the last piece to carry you on Then I guess I'll carry on your legacy

I hope you choke On the words that you speak when they're forming up your throat You spend all of your time Spreading your lies But I'll make sure that they know Your filthy hands Always reaching for things that you clearly don't deserve You can try to act like you're so tough Well let me show you these hands Pull up You can front all you want to But we know you ain't down And the next time we see you Ain't no talking it out You can front all you want to But we know you ain't down And the next time we see you Bet we swing Pick it up Run up Run up Pull up Pull up Manos Don't you think we haven't seen what you've done We all see straight right through you The coward you've become Think you can walk around Show your face amongst the crowd Well I'll put all eyes on you Don't' try to show your face Know your place amongst dirt Cuz that's where we'll put you Don't even make a sound We ain't tryna to hear it All we hope is That you choke You can front all you want to But I know you ain't down And the next time I see you Bet I swing

Trials 02:35

You sat there Quiet and calm With a look on your face like you did nothing wrong We're here for your crimes Yet I feel like I'm the one on trial You sat in that courtroom And not one apology was heard from you The judge sentenced time But what about mine? It never felt like enough Not enough, time to bleed I still hear you scream at me Ten years later and I still don't know How it feels to be free All of those moments of hell I can't let go Of what you did to me Not enough, time to bleed I still hear We locked away the things we need And threw away the only key What's done is done No going back But tell me who is really free We locked away the things we need And threw away the only key What's done is done No going back But tell me who is really free I sat in that courtroom Only blaming myself Once wishing you do the right thing Now wishing you dead Wishing you can take it all back But the damage is done Will it be a lesson learned From father to son We locked away the things we need And threw away the only key What's done is done No going back But tell me who is really free We locked away the things we need And threw away the only key What's done is done No going back But tell me who is really free

We were under the same moon at night For ten years but not a moment longer And when you passed with no memories in sight I meant nothing but you were everything On the last sleep before that night Everything was fine I couldn't comprehend If I meant everything Then why don't you know me From the bottle to the ashes you became You were not yourself when you laid closer to your grave When I saw you the last time No memories remained From the bottle to the ashes you became You were not yourself when you laid closer to your grave Quiet Left your name and blood in vain I wish you would wake up But I know some sleeps never end I just pray you made it up there Cause lord knows you were heaven sent There will never be another soul to replace you And when I find that door ill be sure to walk through I am the son of mournings that never come I am the birth of disease gone undiagnosed When you called my name Did you think that I would see your pain Or would it slip through the cracks Like your disease Disease took you from me Unexplained misery is where I will call my home No separation of mind and reality From the bottle to the ashes you become Your illusions became your only sight From the bottle to the ashes you became You were not yourself when you laid closer to your grave When I saw you the last time No memories remained From the bottle to the ashes you became You were not yourself when you laid closer to your grave Quiet Left your name and blood in vain When you called my name Did you think that I would see your pain Or would it slip through the cracks Like your disease Disease took you Rest eternally
