You look into my eyes
The waves of emotion wash away the numbness that resides
You look into my eyes
The waves of emotion wash away the numbness that resides
I can't see beyond the veil that covers my eyes
I can't see beyond the veil that covers my eyes
Did you forget the dreams that we had?
Or did you even care at all
All that you've painted, it’s gone now, the colors have faded
But I still try
Did you forget the plans that we made?
Or did you even hear my cries
Don't you pretend that you're perfect
I know you're not worth it, but I still try
I can't sleep
These demons in my head never die
Living life like a broken record
Everything you've said is on repeat in my mind
Living life like a broken record
Everything you've said is on repeat in my mind
Why are you so blind?
Can't you see the love in my eyes?
Your liar
I can't see beyond the veil that covers my eyes
I can't see beyond the veil that covers my eyes
Did you forget the dreams that we had
Or did you even care at all
All that you've painted, it’s gone now, the colors have faded
But I still try
Did you forget the plans that we made
Or did you even hear my cries
Don't you pretend that you're perfect
I know you're not worth it, but I still try
I cut your words into my skin while bane excuses taint your mouth
But my lips still crave the poison

Boy Who Cried Wolf

You hold disaster close
And pray it pulls you under
So you can beg for sympathy you don't deserve
You live life like you deserve more than others
Manipulating everyone and everything to have things your way
You long for acceptance and will seek it at any cost
Consumed by arrogance you'll always find yourself
Lost, in time, you'll find what you deserve
Just wait, and see, all the justice life will bring
You, one day, will meet your fate
And no one will be there to save you
You'll run out of chances
You'll be left in the dark
You'll beg for forgiveness
You'll long for that spark
You'll wish that you'd done everything that you could
You'll forever be known as the boy who cried wolf
I'd rather die than be like you
Just wait and see the justice life will bring
You've done this to yourself
Enjoy the misery
You won't escape
You've done this to yourself
Where will you turn now
This maze will forever be your prison
How does it feel to really be alone?
I bet you wish that you'd never pretended
You've met your match and now you can't take it
Consumed by darkness you now have found yourself
Lost, in time, you've found what you deserve
Just wait, and see, all the justice life will bring
You, have now, met your fate
And no one out there can save you
You'll run out of chances
You'll be left in the dark
You'll beg for forgiveness
You'll long for that spark
You'll wish that you'd done everything that you could
You'll forever be known as the boy who cried wolf
You've run out of chances
You've been left in the dark
You'll beg for forgiveness
You'll long for that spark
You'll wish that you'd done everything that you could
You'll forever be known as the boy who cried wolf
The boy who cried wolf

What have I done?
What have I done?
I'll be lost forever
These words eternally etched into my skin
All of the days that I spent wishing you would come back and be everything I've ever dreamed of
I am your creation
Why don't you face what you brought into existence?
Don't be such a fucking coward
What have I done?
To push you away
Do you even remember the color of my eyes?
They're just like yours
Look into my eyes
Have I become the monster you make me out to be?
This hell was created from misery
And I'm afraid that the worst is yet to come
You've taught me nothing, but the concept of quitting and being absent
I hope you're proud of yourself and your fictitious contributions
All my life I've been taken for granted
I've let the venom flow through
My body weakens
There's nothing good left in me
I'm fucking putrid
Punish me for my mistakes
Please god
Take me away
My demons are my brothers
They are the only familiar face
Unlike you they serve purpose
Remind me of you and all the things I don't wanna be
These walls are now my comfort
They have become my only escape
I swear to god
It's the only way I can breathe
What have I done?
To push you away
Do you even remember the color of my eyes?
They're just like yours
Look into my eyes
Have I become the monster you make me out to be?
This hell was created from misery
And I'm afraid that the worst is yet to come
Six feet deep
Buried by silence
This world has rejected the blood I've put in it
My effort means nothing in this prison
Forever stuck in this cage
Unable to turn the page and start a new chapter
I cannot escape this damn cycle
All regret repeats
Constant tragedy
Constant agony
Makes me question
When I will be able to live again
I cannot escape this damn cycle
All regret repeats
Constant tragedy
Constant agony
Makes me question
When I will live again

Hiding from the truth
Is always the temporary fix to life
Running from darkness
Is all we live to do
Together we can find the light
We can find the light
How do I face this life that’s killed me all along
When everything I do is wrong
How do I see
I have to do this on my own
I'm damaged, I'm tainted, I'm not who I used to be
All I can pray for is my serenity
What do I do in a world that leaves me bleeding out
How do I face this life that’s killed me all along
When everything I do is wrong
How do I see
I have to do this on my own
Even though my soul is gone
I know I'll find my way
I know someday
I'll find the light again
Empathy is non existent to those who have never walked in your shoes. It is up to you, to break free from the chains of misery. Break free. Break free.
I don't want, I need a way out of this place
What am I worth
In this small world

I will not be forgotten
It’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to be what others want you to be
Don't fall into the cycle
Be who you are meant to be
I will not be forgotten
You took my hand and left me all alone
I cannot stand living in this home
You think you know me?
You think you motherfucking know me?
Well guess the fuck what motherfucker
You don't know shit!
I will not be forgotten
You have only one life to live
This future is yours to claim
Give it your all, no time for rest
You have what it takes to be the best
I will not be forgotten
You took my hand and left me all alone
I cannot stand living in this home
I will not be forgotten
I will not give in

Run!
Blood is shed
There is only one objective
We will go forth in the name of annihilation
It is our duty, it is our calling
To take what is ours
For our kingdom
Weapons of destruction, tailored to our liking
For ultimate satisfaction to help them meet their fate
Screams echo off the walls
Like a somber melody
We'll drag them down for all to see
Elimination
Fall to our feet
We will be victorious
Bow down to the queen
This world is ours
Destruction will reign down upon you
Your life ended at the sound of the blast
Now I'm surrounded, there is no escape
Dark forces consume me as I fall to my knees
Revive me!
What?! 83%?! How is this even possible?!
Break, break, break the cycle
Break, break, break the cycle
Break, break, break the cycle
Break, break, for the queen
And when it all comes down to me
I trust that my strength is enough to make a difference
And when it's all on my shoulders
I trust that my will is enough to persist
This world is ours
No prisoners, no survivors
And when all else is done
Nothing will remain
We are close
The end is surely near
There's not much left before we
Take it all
Destruction will reign down upon you
Your life ended at the sound of the blast
Now you're surrounded, there is no escape
You will not win
All shall fall before horde

Disaster awaits those who find a home in a filth called misery
My soul is being held captive
Somewhere it's screaming just let me go home
Just let me go home
I've been set up for failure in this cold cold world
Take me back to the innocence life once shared
It must get better than this
I can't be hopeless
The end seems so much better than holding on
Seems so much better than, better than holding on
But if I don't pull through
What will become of all that I have built with hope?
Wasted
Trying to become what people want me to be
How can I live like this?
What is in it for me?
Besides a cycle of pain and agony
Take a leap from the highest tower
trust that my body will not fail before
I hit the ground
Save me
From the depths of hell
The currents pulling me down
My body's giving in
My body weakens as
I take my last breath
Where do I go from here?
My mind longs to believe
That my heart wants to feel
I hold my hand over flames
And hope I can wake up from this nightmare
My soul dreams of coming back
Back to where nothing can break me
Home seems so far away
This path is mine to take
Tainted
By all the poison life had to give me
I am nothing but a hollow shell
Looking for serenity
There must be a better life
Beyond the anger
Beyond the violence
Beyond the misery
What if I never get a chance to see?
Where do I go from here?
My mind longs to believe
My heart wants to feel
Where do I go from here?
Take me home
I'm just going through the motions, trying to clean up this mess
I'll never finish what I started
Why should I even try?
We're all broken damaged souls trying to find our way home
No longer will I run, together we'll fight them all as one
Save me
Save me from myself
I've been set up for failure in this cold cold world
Take me back to the innocence that life once shared
The end seems so much better than holding on
Seems so much better than, better than holding on
But if I don't pull through
What will become of all that I have built with hope?
Where do I go from here?
My mind longs to believe
That my heart wants to feel
I hold my hand over flames
And hope I can wake up from this nightmare
My soul dreams of coming back
Back to where nothing can break me
Home seems so far away
This path is mine to take
Have faith
I have faith that I can see this through
Have faith
I have faith that I can see this through

Who have I become?
Who have I become?
Broken, shattered pieces, grounded into dust
I can't feel a goddamn thing anymore
I search and search for the piece, that's missing inside of me
These walls are closing in
I feel them closing in
When will I find myself again
Train to nowhere
My demons wait at every station
Legs filled with pain, my heart filled with desire
How will I ever find my way
Shadows follow
Suffocating, permeating
I can't escape this hell inside me
Blinded, by all things that can't change
I've wasted, my strength, my heart, my mind
How do I live in a world without the sun
To guide me back to all that I have lost
To light the way
To light the way
To light the way
The waves have come crashing down
Washing away what is left, come undone
Where do I go now?
Uncovering paths that may never lead home
How do I live?
How do I love?
My time has come to find
Ambition in this life
These fiends, they seek me
To take all that is mine
Gotta get a grip on my mind
My soul cannot be confined
The pressure, the pressure
Forever haunts me
Wounded, tortured, pain alleviated
By nothing but the thought of who I'm supposed to be
I search and search for the piece, that's missing inside of me
The walls are closing in
I feel them closing in
When will I find myself again
Train to nowhere
My demons wait at every station
Legs filled with pain, my heart filled with desire
How will I ever find my way
Shadows follow
Suffocating, permeating
I can't escape this hell inside me
Blinded, by all things that can't change
I've wasted, my strength, my heart, my mind
How do I live in a world without the sun
To guide me back to all that I have lost
To light the way
To light the way
The waves have come crashing down
Washing away what is left, come undone
Where do I go now?
Uncovering paths that may never lead home
How do I live?
How do I love?
I have walked this earth
In circles I have searched
For purpose, for my worth
I've seen the devils grin
My strength is wearing thin
I can't give in
I can't give in
This is fucking suicide

This is the end of my life
The one I used to know
Where I could rest my head and find comfort in my sheltered soul
Was such a fool to believe that I could flee from these
Constant thoughts driving me to pull the trigger and set myself free
I now have realized my fate
I'm standing right at the gates
Of death, prying them open till my blood escapes
Take my life
There is no solace in this hellfire
Pain will be my solution and annihilation
Tortured by the voices screaming
"You'll never be good enough.
Maybe if you're lucky death will catch you and take all you're worth
Grip you, skin you, mutilate you
Make you stare until you see
This is who you are
Class is over, Hope you learned a lot."
We all torture ourselves
By drinking venom from the
Snakes that surround us all
When will we learn
What doesn't make us stronger
Can destroy our will
Break me free
Break me free of this nightmare
Before we lose it all
Face to face with reality
Face to face with my demons
Will we ever learn before it's too fucking late
Consumed by the hatred growing within
I've tried so many times
To end the cycle, to close my eyes
To dig out rotting flesh inside
Rotting flesh inside
Necrotizing memories
The monster in me must be fed
God don't you understand
You can't kill me cause I'm already....
Can you hear me?!
Don't you fucking walk away from me
Are you listening?!
Or have I fallen on deaf ears once again
No
I can't give in
This is not the end
I can't give in
This is not the end

I can't give up on myself
There's more to life than this
There's more to this disgusting path that keeps me far from home
This time I'll do things right
Now I'm holding the knife
That once sat comfortably under my skin
This world cannot take what is left of me
I struggle to live but hope soon will set me free
Falling along the way only to serve as lessons learned
It's hard to rid yourself from pain that has had the chance to become part of you.
The poisonous strands of this disease attach themselves to every strand inside of your body and consume every living piece until you're barely alive.
Memories of the past haunt you and infiltrate the wiring of your brain until all that is left is the ability to relive, regret, and repeat them constantly.
You walk the earth searching for the antidote, an escape, like a wraith, awaiting faith, impatiently scratching at the doors of silence.
Then it leaves you hanging from a thread and laughs as your attempts to breathe in life mimics a sucking chest wound.
Ending in nothing but desolation, suffocation, aspiration on the dark matter that you can't escape from.
Bury me under the weight of the dreams you couldn't reach
Take it out on me
Stay with me, there's more to this than we can see
Take it out on me
Like holding fire to skin
Blistering heat begins to show who I've become
Melting away my mistakes
Only to drown in all that still remains
I have been tested beyond what I could ever take
I thought I'd never make
Make it out alive
But I'm still standing
Until I find the peace that I've been longing for
This world cannot take what is left of me
I struggle to live but hope soon will set me free
Falling along the way only to serve as lessons learned
Bury me under the weight of the dreams you couldn't reach
Take it out on me
Stay with me, there's more to this than we can see
Take it out on me

This world has taken all
My courage
My strength is gone
The more I try to go on
The weaker I become
I'm willing to risk it all
My heart and my patience grow strong
I will carry on
I will carry on
I have been tested in ways I could've never imagined
I have been tempted to end it all
My mind was poisoned by all the different ways out
Survival was no longer an option
Until I found a light inside of myself
That saved me from the crooked road I was bound to take
It distracted me from the darkness
It separated what was real and fake
It pushed me in the right direction
The end is not my fate
I've spent so much time wishing for things I couldn't get back
Now I see
Now I see the truth
My fate is in my hands
My future's mine to shape
The proof, the proof, it lies in me
This world has taken all
My courage
My strength is gone
The more I try to go on
The weaker I become
I'm willing to risk it all
My heart and my patience grow strong
I will carry on
I will carry on
It has become way too familiar
This feeling of absence and despair
I swear it's been forever
Since anything has been clear
All I know in this moment
Is that I'm meant to be here
I swear it's been forever
I swear I'm meant to be here
Finding a purpose on this earth has proven to be a difficult task
It's a map that can't be found at the bottom of a flask
Vulnerable and afraid
I moved forward
In an attempt to find my way
To find the true me
The person I'm meant to be
I've spent so much time wishing for things I couldn't get back
Now I see
Now I see the truth
My fate is in my hands
My future's mine to shape
The proof it lies in me
This world has taken all
My courage
My strength is gone
The more I try to go on
The weaker I become
I'm willing to risk it all
My heart and my patience grow strong
I will carry on
I will carry on
