1. Suffer
I cannot deny what I say
What I want is you
I'll see the world fall to its knees, rise and fall
Sometimes I wish everything I did wasn't killing time
Until we're face to face again
You don't look as disappointed as you will with time
"It's all right",
You'll tell me when everything's stripped away
"Understand completely that your everything's not everything to me"
2. Pushing Up Daisies
Accomplish nothing, as they're longing to be walking like the walking undead,
Replaying the same day
I know what's gone, and I know what's left
When all that you once loved has faded away,
And all that you longed for in your life has passed you by,
Nothing that I know'd enhance comforting
Will it be worth it?
The time spent on this moment?
Counting down the days that I wish would live forever
Oh my
God, what's going on?
My own eyes have seen a third of my blood
I'll know what's gone and I'll know what's left
When all that I once loved has faded away
I'll replay the same day again and again,
Over and over until I am dead
I'll die knowing I never waited
3. More Than Life
All I ever had to lose and all I ever wanted, lies in you
The words I say to you are but a fraction of what I mean
There is no turning back now
Your hand's around my neck, and your hold's so tight that my breath escapes me every time
And grip grows stronger all the time
Reset the broken
Eyes of an angel are illuminating
My chest is overflowing
And I can't seem to forget the vision of "You gave the heartless heart"
Your hands around my neck, you take my breath and I welcome it
The air tastes sweeter than before
4. Hell Or High Water
Run for dear life
The approaching storm is bringing the things that I have grown to fear in this world
I should have cut my eyes from my head and removed my tongue,
Severed my hands at the wrists so I'd make it to Heaven
Consuming lives, both yours and mine
Torn limb from limb
Now sacrifice
Flood
Wash it away
Begin to drown
The masses are swallowed under,
And all above the surface of the water burns and is torn limb from limb
5. Frozen Over
I breathe in until the air runs out of oxygen
It's cold and my lungs are freezing
And if I couldn't see my breath, I'd swear to
God that I was dead
But the steam provokes my second guessing
When I was young I felt that I could be someone
Someday something better
But that day came and went
And life goes on I can't believe I'm here again
All the familiar faces blur together
Nothing's left and nothing's coming
When I was young I felt that I would be so great
But now there's nothing to find, cause nothing in life is forever.
6. Tounge In Teeth
Turn and walk away there's nothing left for me
This place is making me sick
Complacent minds bring nothingness
My stomach's loneliness won't subside
Stuck here again
To be as much as a cancer on the face of the world and all who love it
The tears on your face won't show, the rain is camouflage
But now my blood runs through my teeth, off of my tongue
This place as empty as the hollow in your stomach
Nothing's as empty as your life
If it's such a burden, then do it now, and end it
You coward
7. Listless
Deaf eyes seem to watch the actions of definition human mockery
Percussions never made me feel so sickened
Where's your action?
Spent stabbing aimlessly at walls with your fists and apparitions
They do what they do because this lonely town feels like hospital beds
And you let it
I've broke my hands for less than this
There's nothing left to justify to you
With every breath I exhale,
I wonder what it's like to feel alive
Maybe it's only in this fight, but you're not a victim
No consequence,
8. Nothing New
So this is it, what it all amounts to
There isn't anyone who wouldn't step on me to get ahead
Carnivores are gnawing and the pain won't quit it's borrowing
I haven't got the stomach to stomach all your vomiting
All we do is trample over
Draining spirits
It's in our blood
So this is it, what it all amounts to, that there isn't anyone who deserves this world
9. Deadpool
Carve out our tongues so we can eat our words
Choke down swallow what our lies have become
The bodies of my friends, they stand, they move, they're walking while they're dead
The stench of rotten flesh, chalk it up to nothing but what's in our eyes
We live as ghosts
Have you smelled my new fragrance yet?
Knowing my life is nothing but a long goodbye
The ground holds the bodies of the dead
We pass, people cry, then we are forgotten
The caskets decoratives are lost in the soil as we're rotting.
The end is nigh
You go your way and I'll go mine
I guess we'll see who was right
A long goodbye, I'll visit your grave if you see mine
We're all the same here with time
10. I Do My Crosswords In Pen
Ink bleeds deeper when pressed hard,
Soaks through paper and leaves stains on the table
You don't look how I pictured
You don't look quite how I remember
I'll tell myself, "I cannot surround me"
But some smiles both resurrect, and drain the life from me
I don't tell you everything
It's heartless, and the pictures remind me I'm calloused to smiles
11. Ashes And Snow
Very few things hold a place
I'll tear through everything and anyone who stands in my way
I'm not staying anywhere that hates everything that I love
I now know but still I can't believe we're dead.
I worked so hard for everything I have and I won't let it go
I've lost enough to know what matters
And any regret I feel could never outweigh any pain I would have felt
Had I not done the things I did to get here?
If I leave today I'll leave today behind me
If I can get out the door and just fucking go I'll leave it behind
'cause all of it reminds me some of these ashes used to be my home
You've threatened something that I love
And I can't feel your pain, there is no empathy
Are my hands numb?
Or just so calloused that they feel like they are?
The stars were shining so bright, but the light's dimming as I sink out of twilight
The snow's falling was so white, that I'm blinded out of cover of the night
Life's flashing before my eyes
And the bones that make up smiles are my greetings from the sky
