Memory

Fog is everywhere
Capsized in the dead of night
The rotting memories are still there in my mind
They’re less of a picture, and lesser defined
But where do I go, what direction is right?
I survived uninjured but paralyzed
Every day it dissolves like sugar
But my coffee only gets more bitter
Well what is even true anymore?
Anymore?
I guess I’ll fill in the details
someday when I’m older
Is it the sunlight
Or just my damaged view
Who am I?
Striking at my heart, all the thoughts I try to ostracize
Implanted in my head, they never seem to wanna die
Floating round their faces, doubletalking spite
Falling back to my room, and hiding all the knives
Only feelings remain
But nothing ever feels right
A faded photocopy of a copy of a copy
It’s a rollercoaster ride
And the water’s on the rise
Yet I’m stuck at the bottom
Reaching for the stars
Is it the sunlight
Or just my damaged view
Who am I?

Precipice

|
Shivering cold
Seeing his Breath
Underneath the steps he slept
Residing inside
In shadows where I hide
The house is nothing but a lie
Upwards and upwards
Up onto the porch
Climbing on shattered limbs
Bleed like a pig
And just leave him for dead
Call me a leech I insist
Stepping off the precipice
Life is not a consequence
Stepping off the precipice
Spinning around
And never coming down
Splayed out like cinquefoil
The sweating has drowned
The flowers on the ground
And seeps into the dirty soil
Run up the stairs
And come let down your hair
Allow me to show you inside
Open up the window
“I don’t want to see the sun”
Soaking up the smoke in your eyes
Stepping off the precipice
Life is not a consequence
Stepping off the precipice
Breath it in
Push it out
Catch its fall
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down
See the ground
Open now
Take the next step out
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down
Stepping off the precipice
Life is not a consequence
Stepping off the precipice

You Want To Suffer
You Want To Fucking Die
Well I Can Make It That Everyone Knows What’s Fucked Up in Your Mind
You Aren’t Worth It
You Aren’t Nothing But Dirt
And I Can Make Sure That I’m The One You’ll Always Listen To
Cause I’m Worth It
I’m All That You Know
And I’ll Be Watching
Cause I’m Worth It
I’m So Great
And I Don’t Ever Sleep
AHHHHHH HA HA
I’m Having A Blast
But I Can Also Get Low With You And Sink You Down So Fast
So Keep Treading
You Can’t Keep It Up
I’m Bubbling Up Under The Surface Ready To Come Right Out
Cause I’m Worth It
I’m Picking at Your Skin
And I Keep Itchin’
Cause I’m Worth It
When I’m Wrong
The Stress Never Ends
--------------------------------------
i know that it’s not true
but sometimes it’s hard not to give in
you keep yourself busy
with all the addictions you have grown
like a garden out of control
so pick up a shovel and let’s dig in
look deep inside your beautiful flesh prison
and toil till there’s something solid within
and it’s never gonna go away, some days i’m
looking off the overpass, down onto the highway
but i’ve kept my feet planted today
go

Wedding Day
05:05
|

I thought I wanted peace
But doing nothing gives me no release
Can’t even stand to sit in silence
So all I really want is violence
On your Wedding Day
I wish you all the best
On that wedding day
I hope you choke
Hope they're happier with you in their life
And not mine
Yeah
Can’t seem to get any sleep
Re-lived all of what you did to me
Crazy how the time can fly
I wish I could have put that bugspray in your eye
On your Trial Day
I wish you all the best
On that Trial day
I hope you choke
Hope you’re happier locked inside your cell
And not mine
Yeah
GET OUT
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
GET OUT
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
HANDS TIED
STOMACH TURNED
BRIDGES SIGHED
CITIES BURN
KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK
BODY SICK
SICK DESPAIR
BLOODY DRIP
NO REPAIRS
KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK
OCEAN BREEZE
ANKLE CLENCHED
MOUNTAIN PEAK
BLACKEST TRENCH
KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK AFTER KICK
I'm not scared
I'm just waiting for someone to throw me away
I’m not sorry
I’m still learning to deal with the weight of it all
I’m not angry
Which concerns me, disturbing, unlearning a fault
I’m not bothered
I can take it and keep it, I won’t fucking call
Waiting for someone to throw me away
Waiting for someone to throw me away
Waiting for someone to throw me away
Waiting for someone to throw me away

Inheritance
07:29

Feel her pain
See her hand shake
Next to her bed
I cannot hear her say
I feel it anyway
“Where the hell am I?”
I have no reply
Doctor said comply
Holding onto life
Hear the banshee cry
I scream out to the sky
But then the next day comes
Just as the next one’s done
Speeding up and up and up
But the symptoms never seem to stop
Cut the brakes stomp it through to the blacktop
Grounded to pieces
But I can’t disappear
I’m still here
I’m alive
Can’t see her face
Waiting for it all to fade
“Where the hell am I?”
There is no reply
Doctor said comply
Holding onto life
It’s Coming
Day After Day
It’s Coming
Day After Day

Torquemada

The show’s about to start
It’s time we must depart
Tightening of the chest
Short and shallow breaths
Just Breathe.
I’m out of time.
Am I asleep?
Or it's a blur.
(interviews)
I feel safe
What is Wrong?
What is Wrong?
