Afterthoughts 04:09

All good things must come to an end but my voice resides in you And only when you decide to let it die will I be released from within The voices must be louder in my heart than in my head if I am to commit Can you not feel your body decay? It's giving up on me I was born with this cancer, I know it's disaster for me Swallow my anxiety to the pit of me What's been so controlling? Does it go without knowing? Haven't you heard Oh god I'm so forgetful, but you always remind me that this life's not about me Attachment to this life will only hold you back My eyes are set forward, but I can never see what's in front of me I've heard the next place will be everlasting I'm there when I sleep That's the place I want to be Take my remaining breaths away from me Give me a release from this broken body You can take everything because you only get back what you give So tell me, what have you given Devour my soul The ground devours what you'll never miss Let the roots take hold Let the wind carry my soul away Tell me what remains Will my memories fade Tell me what remains Will your memory fade The voices must be louder in my heart than in my head if I am to commit Can you not feel your body decay? It's giving up on me I was born this cancer, I know it's disaster for me Swallow my anxiety to the pit of me What's been so controlling? Does it go without knowing? Haven't you heard Oh god I'm so forgetful, but you always remind me that this life's not about me All good things must come to an end but my voice resides in you And only when you decide to let it die will I be released from within

Let Loose (Feat. Matt Losoya) 03:37
lyrics

I've been trying to find transcendent contentment through these words That have always comforted me In my effort to break the mold And set myself free I have found nothing Don't hold still because our time is fleeting Was there ever a true purpose to my endless breathing? Im searching for strength Don't pity the dead, pity the living Weak willed with no voice to speak It'll always sound familiar to me I'm still trying to set myself free but the world has been so overwhelming Yet I'm still breathing My thoughts are only temporary I'll keep on striving with everything that's left inside of me With everything that's left inside of me Let loose of everything You can confide in me when the world doesn't leave a crutch to help you stand up It's so easy to drown in the negative but I'm positive That there's so much more in store for you There's no time like the present to escape your mind and leave the stress behind To let loose of everything that you've ever had I'm still trying to set myself free but the world has been so overwhelming Yet I'm still breathing My thoughts are only temporary I'll keep on striving with everything that's left inside of me With everything that's left inside of me

Transient 04:26
lyrics

I've been thinking of leaving to the place you've gone I'm sitting here waiting for you to return my call Even though I know that you're not there You left it all behind and swallowing acceptance Is the hardest part when you never get to say goodbye I hope to find myself in better health but for now I'm overcome with concern because you constantly haunt me Still, I love to see you The sunset is my horizon again And I'm searching for some sort of repentance from my sorrows I never saw the potential that you did My denial would show every single time you said That I could do what I put my mind to I guess I'll show just how selfish I can be With no focus on the needs of anyone but me I'll take the scenic route home Cold and alone, I am seeking the sun Keep it hidden away as the tides start to rise in efforts of keeping me from you You were never alone, trust me I've been there Those eyes that once held such warmth have grown bitter with the autumn wind I've been thinking of leaving to the place you've gone Father lend me your strength Mother give me your pain in the hopes that you never feel this way again Trying to say your name always stops my lungs from breathing Your presence has become past tense Now's the time for the hardest questions Life, love, and loss was never meant to be easy Still, I'm just dragging my feet You said you would die for me but I chose to live for you Now your ghost is all I see Not surviving, just existing This is my never ending attempt to save you I won't give up I'm not surviving, I'm just existing in this hell I've been thinking of leaving to the place you've gone

Chemical Imbalance 03:40
lyrics

Only time will tell they say How much longer I can endure the pain This is who I've been the whole time Break free of the constant routine Nothing is fine like you said it would be If I was a better man would you help me understand the light? I want to find clarity As I look to the sky I find nothing inside to satisfy I never asked for you to set me free Searching for what made me sane Years have past, I relapse every time I hear your name Pulseless, how could love survive? Bleed me out and let it die This was never worth your time Cast away, cast away I'll learn to love the pain I've been missing out on rest lately Cast away, Cast away I’ll learn to love the pain Stuck at the bottom where you left me Cast away, cast away I'll learn to love the pain Back in the mess that I made There was no one more deserving Constantly, constantly running through my head It seems these nights will never end Where have you been No end to the misery I'll let the tides carry me You left me with nothing, mental purgatory I swear I'll learn, I'll learn to love the pain The highest highs bring the lowest of lows and this is the lowest that its ever been Only time will tell they say, how much longer I can endure this pain This is who I've been the whole time Cast away, cast away I’ll learn to love the pain

For Your Eyes Only 02:55

So busy starting gardens that you missed our flowers bloom Then you tell me to stop pacing, as if it would help revive the carpet I've etched my worries into (I was) gifted new eyes to see the world for what it is So let me to find complacency as the colors fade to grey False hope is what you're feeding me I could keep you safe with me I could keep you safe, maybe No longer should you hide from this world that made you bitter Still no good for myself lately and I'm dragging you down with me baby Forbidden fruit & taboo, what's the use of life if I'm not living? Numb again I’ll throw my bones behind and decide to push you away Only to be pulled back harder every time So drag me through hell and take my free will because this is what I wanted Or is this what I wanted? A hallowed shell, a vibrant red, an empty head, my feet of led I flew too close to the sun You warned me, but I had to see it for myself I flew too close to the sun and you warned me, but I had to see it for myself So let me tell you how it feels to allow your blood to spill out for another And let me tell you what it takes to make your body break it's perfect figure It's love, and I had to see it for myself The hardest part of loving you, is knowing that I hurt you too

Dismantle 05:04

So here I am again Blank paper to pen, but in the end I'll rip the pages out Because lately I have found comfort in giving up It feels like relief after being torn between two separate entities There's no one left to stitch the seams of living dreams left inside of me To the ones I told I would never break I'm sorry, I broke I broke every promise that I ever made So please don't look to me for strength I can't even hold my own head up And if these past years have taught us anything It's that I'll be gone in the morning and just as the seasons fade, so will you I hear you calling my name Still I push you away Abandonment was always my favorite game The soil was always my home so bury me and walk away from everything You thought you knew Those half smiles I could always see through I'll never forget the statement you made true That this was all temporary anyways The place you love to escape was witnessed on the back of your eyelids So rest your eyes on the skies as the sun sets because when you wake I'll be gone Were these dreams ever my own? Maybe it's just like my father said, I'm just stuck in the wrong perspective I've got to dismantle my pride and sever my ties from the demons That would always attempt to reside in my mind You were always inside of my head I hear you calling my name My return holds nothing but a shallow man waiting for someone's hand To pull me out of this pit But I've tried my hardest to refuse the negative in every word that you say Still the world, it was determined to consumed me The soil was always my home so bury me And walk away from everything you thought you knew And those half smiles I could always see through I'll never forget the statement you made true You reminded me of how naïve I can be The place you loved to escape was witnessed on the back of your eyelids So rest your eyes on the skies as the sun sets When you wake up I'll be gone I recall my youth, the kind that felt forever until it ended with never again They called me the runaway kid, the kind that never owned a spine Prioritizing backwards, I was caught up in the times and took everything for granted We are born alone and die alone Isn't that what's said? Its all I'll ever know I never claimed to be an optimist I never claimed to bring you happiness I was lost in uncertainty, caught in the void of subconscious apathy So now can you see everything that I couldn't express Now can you feel everything that I couldn't express I was empty

"I am now the most miserable man living If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family There would not be one cheerful face on the earth Whether I shall ever be better I can not tell; I awfully forebode I shall not (To remain as I am is impossible) I must die or be better, it appears to me" - A. Lincoln
