Lately my memories
Are more enticing than reality
And these daydreams
Suck away my energy
Strip away my elegance
Find a way to breathe again
Break me down until you see
The withered pieces underneath
I
Try
To see the good in life
I
try
Despite my clouded mind
I
Try
To find the worth in me
I try
But all I see is wasted time
What more could you ask of me?
Oh, let me paint the scene
Where every move I make breaks someone’s heart
Oh, I’m stuck inside my ways
All these memories
Hold me down until I fall apart
Staring down another fork in the road
Do I stay complacent or choose to grow
I’ve run for so long to hide the pain
My time is up, I have to change
What more could you ask of me?
Oh, let me paint the scene
Where every move I make breaks someone’s heart
Oh, I’m stuck inside my ways
All these memories
Hold me down until I fall apart
Self disdain
Broken hearts
Truth forever kept in dark
The sun will rise
The sun will set
While we live inside our heads
There’s so much that I’ve left unsaid
It rips me up, from within
now I guess I’ll let you know
Expose the weakness of my soul
I’m in love with what holds me down
Based on everything that I believe you’d think that nothing ever breaks me
But you’ll see
That
All the time consumed by vultures just like you
Has pushed me to the edge

Buried
Underneath
The whispers of a damaged mind left incomplete
Broken
Piece by piece
I’m waging war on a man I’ve never seen
I’d make peace with myself
But I’m too busy throwing stones
I’ve built a kingdom of blood and broken bones
It’s taking away from me
All I’ve ever known
But I guess it’s true that
You reap what you sow
Toss and turn
Can’t find my way to sleep
Drift away
I’m lost in my own defeat
Waiting on the edge of disaster
Toss and turn
I feel the wires snap
Drift away
It all fuels my disconnect
Falling further into the depths of
misery
And now it’s come to pass
Everything that I thought would last has been ripped away
Every part of me is fractured
It’s why I see myself better in broken mirrors
Don’t know my own reflection
I’m constantly consumed by my indirection
Indirection
Toss and turn
Can’t find my way to sleep
Drift away
I’m lost in my own defeat
Waiting on the edge of disaster
Toss and turn
I feel the wires snap
Drift away
It all fuels my disconnect
Falling further into the depths of misery
I need to find a way out
This helplessness has buried me
My light has all but burned out
Toss and turn
Can’t find my way to sleep
Drift away
I’m lost in my own defeat
Waiting on the edge of disaster
Toss and turn
I feel the wires snap
Drift away
It all fuels my disconnect
Falling further into the depths of misery
Misery

I could sit and count my losses
I’ve had to watch the time fly by
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I know you’re sick of second chances
Another day of wasted time
I will not ask
You to stay behind
I swore I saw this coming
I’m losing everything
And every moment wasted
Feeds my apathy
When will my stories told
Be more than wishing for control?
I could throw it away
Maybe I could start again
I’m tired
Of trying
To be your savior
If I let this go
Would you finally forgive me?
Please just let me go
So you can finally forget me
If all that’s past is prologue
You’d think I’d turn the page
I burn away the entries
But still refuse to change
I know there’s something missing
I know I’ve lost my way
Why should I keep the fight up
When there’s nothing good in me?
I swear I saw this coming
I’m losing everything
And every moment wasted
Feeds my apathy
If all that’s past is prologue
You’d think I’d turn the page
I burn away the entries
But still refuse to change
I still refuse to change

Cast away
As the water crashes over me
I start to see
That the tides are against me
Lost at sea
Nothing to guide me
Losing hope
That I’ll ever see the sunrise
Surrounded by violent waves
That challenge me
Drag me to the depths
Taking all that i have left
The skylines darker than I’ve ever seen
The ocean is calling out to me
Sinking slowly
Losing ground
Lost the light I’m broken
Monsters wait for me below
The ocean floor will be my home
I can’t stop the current as it’s pulling me in
My vessels decaying as it twists in the wind
They’re pulling me under with the weight of my sins
Lost and abandoned in hopelessness
Grin and bear your teeth
What more can you do to me a
You were the lifeboat that kept me afloat
Now you’re the anchor wrapped around my throat.

Feels like I'm lost
not to be found
Strings on my heart
They pull me down
You left me here
trembling with fear
said i'd be fine
but it's too much to bare
I'm on my own now, on my own
I walk a beaten path
Stumbling in the dark
Trying to retrace all my steps
Back to the start
I’ve learned to paint a smile
That I can’t wash away
Lost within the static
And all that’s left is
Scattered thoughts in melodies
Keeping memories left unseen
Broken hearts with broken dreams
Find their way right back to me
Every time I take a step
I leave behind a common thread
To weave and sow into my bones
Carving names inside my head
Those who have left
Those who have loved
Those who now hate what I’ve become
I’ll stay my course
I won’t pray for love
All my veins pump bitter blood
Through the looking glass you’d see
There’s no place for someone like me

Turn up the dial I’ve got something to say
I spent ten years giving everything I have to get on this stage
And now
You’d think I’m proud
breaking through the surface to shake this town
But I spend all of my time with the fear in my mind that this will all fade
I bare my soul so you can see
Just how destructive a dreamers life can be
I’ve let you all get the best of me
I need another way out, set me free
I see all these words
It’s invisible ink
Wrote what’s on your mind but forgot to think
Covered in ashes from the bridges you burn
How long can you go til it’s your turn?
My eyes, my eyes
I’ve stepped into the light and now I’ve gone blind
Deny, deny
That for me to rebuild i need to break this time
My eyes, my eyes
I’ve stepped into the light and now I’ve gone blind
Deny, deny
That for me to rebuild i need to break this time
My eyes, my eyes
I’ve stepped into the light and now I’ve gone blind
Deny, deny
That for me to rebuild i need to break
In the world I’m lost in the ink I’m found
Every part of me a memory I put into the melody
Maybe it’s the reason why I’m trapped inside my misery
I see all these words
It’s invisible ink
Wrote what’s on your mind but forgot to think
Covered in ashes from the bridges you burn
How long can you go til it’s your turn?
I’ve waited all my life just for a chance to make it here
But now I’ve made it and I wish that I’d just disappear
I need to start again and rebuild what’s mine
The only thing that’s keeping me alive
I’m sick and tired of all these games
Sincerity lost among these snakes
True honesty lost among these fakes
Where are you now, bitch?
I never asked for this
Take it back
I see all these words
It’s invisible ink
Wrote what’s on your mind but forgot to think
Covered in ashes from the bridges you burn
How long can you go til it’s your turn?
