Death (XIII)
04:01
|
|||
|
this is the end
of an illusion
put it to rest
end the confusion
tell me the truth
help me to see it
so I can change
finally breathe in
holding onto something concrete
but there’s freedom in falling
painted a picture that you liked
it wasn’t real, it wasn’t right
such a relief
totally drain me
is this the end
of hoping
what was once true
can now be rejected
everything real
was just a reflection
holding onto something concrete
when there’s freedom in falling
painted a picture that you liked
it wasn’t real, it wasn’t right

Come With Me
03:01
|
|||
|
close my eyes now I’m not having any fun
my voice is melting and I’m staring at the sun
take me
to awful places now
feel free
to help me come back down
come with me
sink with me
holding onto something that I should forget
has it happened blurry memories of yet
looking
forward to my past
sinking
into what I lack
come with me
melt with me

Wrong Time
02:39
|
|||
|
I won’t swallow my own pride
I’m just looking for a cure
not overly sincere
but a pushover for sure
yeah I am the worst news
at the wrong time
and you are the last hope
that will slowly die
a horrible gift that
you’ll never give away
the burden of kindness
compelling it to stay
yeah this was the wrong choice
at the worst time
and everyone’s feeding
off the biggest lie
will it be
the last time
i find myself
stuck inside
this hole
I’ve dug

Someone
03:12
|
|||
|
you hide your intentions behind meaningless thoughts
let life just happen to you while you sit and watch
now I’m just the means
to your shitty end
someone to fuck
someone to call a friend
so much I couldn’t say out loud
you’re never going to figure me out
feel like a good guy cause you can admit you’re wrong
I’m here to listen, I’ve got nothing going on
yeah I’m just the means
to your shitty end
someone to fuck
someone to call a friend
I know I’m not the one you want
a blank sheet for you to project on
tired feelings have run dry
that’s one less futile try for a selfish guy
one less futile try

Pure Bliss
04:26
|
|||
|
take my head, I want it
make me see double
does it make you feel like yourself?
well you look like someone else
I wanna be a part of it
but I never could commit
there’s nothing ahead
and nothing in my head
dull my mind, I want it
make me feel honest
in a bubble of happiness
a blind moment of pure bliss
I wanna be a part of it
but I never could commit
there’s nothing ahead
and nothing in my head

Hellscape
02:36
|
|||
|
wake each day
stare at my phone
the burden of being alive
make some plans
and watch them fall through
losing all sense of time
fuck
fuck it all
even if I feel okay
I still complain
I forget what happened today
and every day
take a walk, call a friend
the burden of staying awake
here I am
trying to have a good time
in this hellscape
fuck
fuck it all

Do Nothing About It
04:09
|
|||
|
looking at the world through shit-colored glasses
feel bad everyday but do nothing about it
some guy with a stupid face
told me to smile more
such good advice
I never thought of doing that before
unload your conscience on a passerby
cause none of your friends
will listen to you whine
moping around watching reality tv
basking in nothingness makes me feel free
unload your conscience on a passerby
cause none of your friends
will listen to you whine
unload your conscience on a passerby
cause none of your friends
will listen to you whine
it’s not going away
because you want it to stay
it’s not going away

Zorked
03:53
|
|||
|
let’s be honest
can we clear the air
I’m the problem
I don’t really care
it’s all
my fault
I feel
so lost
in a nightmare
forgetting all my lines
truth is mindless
but I don’t wanna die
hatred
builds up
I’ve had
enough
I don’t wanna speak anymore
everything’s irrelevant
silently developing
the need for nothingness
I don’t wanna speak anymore
I don’t wanna talk anymore

Hall of Mirrors
04:26
|
|||
|
I see what I wanna see
never what’s in front of me
the hope of having some
is the only thing worse than having none
feed the illusion
but try to seem sincere
live for the attention
while you’re in a hall of mirrors
I’d like to be just about anyone
‘cept for the vacuum I’ve become
my rhythm’s off, I’m spinning
I fade away as I’m beginning
feed the illusion
but try to seem sincere
put on a performance
inside a hall of mirrors

Chastity Belt is one of the best bands out there right now. I grew up mid 90’s w some amazing music, these ladies are a great throwback to that time. Their melodies and songwriting are such high caliber that they feel like they’ve been your life long friends, very personal.
