There must be something more, that’s worth me fighting for.
Another day turns week turns month turns wasted year.
All the small things don’t amount to much
When coping is your only crutch
And there’s not much left worth looking for,
With a future as bleak as my credit score.
Hating myself has gotten old,
I’m just worn out and bored
Sincerity has grown passé
Drained of my love to pour
The endless struggle and fight,
To keep my spirits upright
I never wanted to play,
This vicious game-
If I have a soul to save,
I need it because I’m one foot in the grave
Years of shifting off my weight
Can’t escape this hopeless pit of fate
I don’t wanna fight no more
Break your back to get a leg up
Live by skin of shattered teeth
Our fractured souls from constant tension
All to chase some distant dream
Play by rules and do what’s right
Grind your limbs into a paste
No breaking through this undertow
Don’t think about the years that’s gone to waste
Every glass half empty,
Tells a tale of dead ambitions
Each a different story,
They all end the same
Never any change
What’s it take to cure a bruised and bloody soul
Where there was a heart, is now an empty hole
To feel’s, to hurt
To think’s to overwhelm
Do what, you can
Escape this current realm
When you don’t have nothing else
|

Every days the same
And I laugh at dreams of change
Live just to survive
As you drown in debt until you die
But I can’t handle, I can’t handle
Barely getting by.
Another bygone week
Where I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul
Does it ever fucking end?
Or will the stress consume me till I’m dead?
I’m thankful for the amphetamines
In the weeks where I’m too broke to eat
But I can’t handle, I can’t handle
Barely getting by.
Future, despondent
Future!

A new campaign to rally up the population
Sell the story of the threat against the nation
But has this happened before?
Has this happened before?
Has this happened before?
I think it’s happened before.
Fly the flags and signify your sworn allegiance
Opposition is a threat, and an impedance
Well it can’t happen here
Well it can’t happen here
Well it can’t happen here
It can happen right here
The Reichstags up in flames, you see this fire burns bright
It’s time to take what’s ours, this blood and soils our right
This blood and soil’s our right
And for it we will fight
So let’s strike the fear of God in those degenerates eyes
Every casualty, a victory: the vermin’s demise
Purity for the land
We’ll take what’s ours and divine
I think we’ve been here before
Your half truths, they tell full stories.
And every blank check issued
Is funded by the work done off our backs
(Opposition has no choice to oppose
Stain the hands of the masses with no way to depose)
The horrors clearly seen, are justified,
Why thousands need to die
(Watch them sit back and laugh, as they lie to our face
Signing blood pacts with the cronies who can keep them in place)
Have you ever seen
Have you ever seen,
A people be erased?
I think we’ve been here before
Your half truths, they tell full stories.
Classify, symbolize
Essentialize, Dehumanize
Feed the hate, discriminate
The means to the end, for the good of the state
Organize, to polarize
Assimilate to annihilate
The enemy, that lives within
We have to act now, let the bloodshed begin
(After the slaughter, what’s to be done?
Equip the children with dogma and guns
Rebuild the lands, soiled from blood
Make them build shacks and then gift them with bombs
The number of towers the Kremlin has grown
Numb them with horrors so regularly shown
Silence the scholars, the artists, the press
The land of the hunger is just a dream that’s dead)
I think we’ve been here before
Your half truths, they tell full stories.

Please turn back time
Run the streets crying your name
It’s me, your friend, I’m here, I'm scared, just please, come back.
Another pot of coffee burning, what can we do but
Sit, and wait, and hope, and pray, that you’re, okay.
We’re not so different
But that’s what scares me the most
What’s it take?
For the camel's back to break
Because knowing what broke you, can surely break me too.
I wish I, could cut your nightmare short
From blocks of burning mansions,
Suffocating, no reaction.
I’m grasping, the red thread that connects us,
The seven years we’ve spent
Arm in arm, and that it meant.
How could
We come back from this?
Will we,
Ever be the same?
I gave them the picture
Of us by the lake
Post high school dreamers
With a future to make.
Your face on the flier,
Haunts me every day
Is this how I’ll remember?
The life that we made?
Is this the way we have to say goodbye?
No more growing older, with you by my side?
And that voice, in my head, tells me where you are
Ignore that gut feeling, that you’d leave me scarred
I drove my car out to the lake
In case you chose a sinking wake
But deep inside, it’s all too clear
Till all that’s left is
Silence
Erase your name
Rip apart the threads we’ve sown
The blood, the sweat, the tears- and all for this
I wish you stayed a missing person,
That’d be a better end, to this, to find, the years we spent, were all a waste.

Through the Cracks

This room, is clarity
The skyline hid by blinds
Untouched, from what’s outside
To live apart from life
Sometimes, it’s alright
To stay, out of sight
Sometimes, it’s alright,
It’s alright, it’s okay
Fall away (fall away now)
Disappear
I wish I could be bothered
But my bed is my cocoon
The sleep, welcomes me in
I can’t bear to have my soul torn
By a world that wants to strip me what makes me
Fall away (fall away now)
Disappear
I wish I could be bothered
But this bed is my cocoon

Fighting to breathe
Consciousness fades
Pray for relief
The reaper to save
Is this how it all happens?
Body contorts
Losing control
Vision distorts
Losing your soul
Is there any peace in this?
I, can’t save you
I would give you every breath
I’ll, pray for you
Even if there’s nowhere next
Will you see, pearly gates and loved ones passed
All the prayers, every Sunday spent at mass
What you gave, a
Life of faith, in
Eternal lasting life
Your loved ones at your side
I guess it’s all a lie
There’s no peaceful way to die
I, can’t save you
I would give you every breath
(May the road rise to meet you)
I’ll, pray for you
Even if there’s nowhere next
Place the roses on your grave
All that’s left is the memories saved
I wouldn’t normally wish for a God
But for you, I’ll hold onto some faith
Another day as you lie for your wake
Pray the lord for your soul to take
Beg for the needle to give you release
For the morphine to gift you your sleep

Tie up
Another night we spend here, lying, comatose
Nod off
Chasing highs we know that we will never find again
Escape
Sedating stress and loathing, though they only wait
No stake
Come back and see
Is this what you call sane?
Bruised and shattered, veins
Is this what you call sane?
All that’s weighing down on me,
Aggravates, complicates, dominates.
All that’s weighing down on me,
I don’t know, how to change, no clean slate
Could you convince me that we’re not
Chasing highs to help escape
Just how low we see ourselves.
But if you say we stick together
That you can carry on this way
Tomorrow and forever
Till we reach our final days.
If you’ll always be my husband
Then I’ll always be your wife
And the fractures deep between us
Can be repaired for all our lives

Denial, Turned Crisis

Take a deep breath in, of the smoked filled air
We’re losing control, we’re losing control now
Watch the hillsides burn, while the flood drowns the square
We’re losing control, we’re losing control now
It’s all too late, we’re compromised
We’ve losing control, we’re losing control now
So let’s sit, watch, and wait, our future demise
We’re losing control, we’re losing control now
How, can we live,
If they don’t care if we die?
What’s, of our lives,
When we are the sacrifice?
How, can we live,
If they don’t care if we die?
So deny, fill with lies
So deny, mute the cries
So deny, fill with lies
Strip away the safety net
So deny, fill with lies
So deny, mute the cries
So deny, fill with lies
Drowning in your basement flat
The hills are, alive with
The sound of burning bodies
No one, to save you
The failure to prevent this
How, can we live,
If they don’t care if we die?
What’s, of our lives,
When we are the sacrifice?
How, can we live,
If they don’t care if we die?
What’s if our lives when they deny-
Fill with lies
So deny, mute the cries
So deny, fill with lies
Strip away the safety net
So deny, fill with lies
So deny, mute the cries
So deny, fill with lies
So deny
The levees are breached
The wrath’s been unleashed
So Fight to survive
No help to be reached
The weak and the poor
Are just left to die
Your class is your raft
So will you survive?
Sell off the barriers which help us all survive
It’s global suicide
What can I say, when asked what life I'd like to build?
What can you build, on ground that’s quickly caving in?
It all, moves slow
As its quickly catching up
Till the day, surely comes
When your staring at the wave
Strip away the safety net
So deny, fill with lies
So deny, mute the cries
So deny, fill with lies
Drowning in your basement flat
Take a deep breath in, of the smoked filled air
We’ve lost all control, we’ve lost all control now.
Watch the hillsides burn, while the flood drowns the square
We’ve lost all control, we’ve lost

I’m right here
By your side
Don’t you fear
All your pain will soon subside
You’ve shown me all
What love can be
You’ve brightened each day
Made me feel safe
You’ve held my heart
So I’ll hold your paw
You’ll never be gone, to me.
I remember the day
When we brought you home
Run through the grass
How I wish that day could last.
You’ve seen me grow
Helped me through the worst
I always felt love
With you by my side
You’ve held my heart
So I’ll hold your paw
You’ll never be gone to me.
It’s always a shame
How time seems to fly
Those best 14 years
And now it’s goodbye
Now is your time
I’ll miss you so
But you’ll always live on, in me

Part I:
You scratch the surface, but dare not peel the skin
The hands reach out to save you, but don’t let no one in
What can dull the anguish, and what can numb the pain
Of losing every moment, from wasting every day
Nothing's in your favor, despite how far you climb.
Slipping from the surface, running out of time
Tear apart, all we have.
Just take these threads, and rip their seems
I’ve given all, for bygone dreams
Just take these threads, and rip their seems
Ive given all, for bygone dreams
Part II:
Sure I know that my every breath is numbered, and it’s certainly not adding up.
Glimpses of, every, souvenir of lost ambition
Haunted by the passions that died
I thought I knew, how to take control and move on through so-
How do I fall, in the trap of flying by the life I have ?
I thought I knew, that my every days the last it’ll be
Is it all too late?
At arm's length, only
Past 4 of 500 walls, built up to help me survive
Fearing trust, fearing
That someone can know me, much more than I should know myself
I thought I knew, how to take control and move on through so-
How do I fall, in the trap of flying by the life I have ?
I thought I knew, that my every days the last it’ll be
Is it all too late?
Part III:
Is it all too late?
Freeze this, moment
Please don’t fade away
It’s never too late
Part IV:
When weight fell on my shoulders
Well what did I do?
Overloaded, overwhelmed.
I'm trying to find
Trying to find to find peace in it
I’m not asking for pity
Maybe you can relate
Golden tickets, wasted dreams
I’m trying to find,
Trying to find something more
Ending:
With what’s thrown at us, we all do what we can
And maybe my ways are different from every other motherfucker in this city.
Don’t we all deserve those vices from time to time?
Caffeine, nicotine, sertraline, amphetamines.
So who am I to judge?
As I scour the floor for the pill that I need to just be.
