Hollow
You made a mess out of my head
An empty shell, left me for dead
This endless sea of loneliness
Left to fill the void instead
And this devotion, was it all for nothing?
I’ll never leave my room again
if it’ll help you sleep at night
How do you sleep at night?
All I wanted was to show you my intent
You chose your side and turned your back on me instead
So what are you trying to prove?
There’s nothing left for me and you
Your just like all the others
And I can’t look past the dread
Over again it plays inside my head
(There’s nothing left)
I guess I’ll always wonder
What it took to muster up the guts
To call your bluff and lay this to rest
There’s nothing left

Ritual
Is this me barely breathing?
Or is it you finding your way in again?
Shattered pictures on the wall
The most common ritual
To cleanse the dirt that’s in my soul
To dig my mind out of this hole
Oh god, I think I’ve lost myself again
Constantly searching for an end
To this misery that I created
A bleeding hand, a painted face
What have I done to deserve such grief?
This broken faith, I can’t erase
When it all comes down, where will you run?
And when your time runs out
Will you frame another lie on me?
It’ll all crash down and still you run
Leaving me in the debris
Left faithless
You will never bear the truth
Broken glass is all that’s left of you
It’s been three long years
And I still see your ghost
Fading in the picture frames
Where my heart dwells the most
Another vacant memory
Dust upon the shelf
Blood stains the floorboards
Of my self-deprecating hell
Watch me dwell
Watch me dwell in this hell

Too Close For Comfort
Here we find ourselves again
Back in the routine
You never seem to stray too far from me
And I’ve been pulling at my skin
I’ve been grinding down my teeth
This push and pull stays on repeat
I took the bait and it pulled me under
And this time I can’t recover
You know that it’s not fun being all alone
You know that you can’t run on your own
There’s just so many roads with so many turns
Now where do we go?
When will our lessons be learned?
Tossing and turning
Anxiety still burning away at the fabric that is left of me
I still keep you way too close
Too close for comfort
But surely you will never see
I took the bait and it pulled me under
And this time I can’t recover
(Anxiety pulls me in)
What’s done is done, yet I’m left to wonder
(Anxiety drags me down)
I just don’t know where to go from here
You know that it’s not fun being all alone
You know that you can’t run on your own
There’s just so many roads with so many turns
Now where do we go?
When will our lessons be learned?
(It’s killing me, it’s killing me
I’m trapped under my skin
Can’t feel nothing)
If you fall, I fall
If you jump, I jump
I swear to god
Let’s not complicate this
Let’s not complicate this
(Why we always gotta fight when things go wrong?
I’m supposed to be your strength when you can’t be strong)
You know that it’s not fun being all alone
You know that you can’t run on your own
There’s just so many roads with so many turns
Now where do we go?
When will our lessons...
(It’s killing me, it’s killing me
I’m trapped under my skin
Can’t feel nothing)

Clever
You never stop to think about what you say
Every single syllable still resonates in me
Another word another flesh wound
Cut your losses, twist the blade
Another night of feeling down
without a stone unturned
Will you ever hear me out
or just sit and watch it burn?
Burn to nothing
am I everything you thought I’d be
Your way with words leaves me in silence
and it’s deafening
Will you hear me, will you hear me out?
I bet you thought you were damn clever
I bet you had it all figured out
But you can’t keep me caged forever
I walked myself in, so now I’ll see myself out
Abusive poetry constricts my apathy
Another weight left on my chest subsides my breathing
I can’t shake the feeling
You got me where you want me
But this time
Your selfishness
Will only drag you down
One step forward and two steps back
Only to turn yourself around
(Fall facedown)
You thought you were damn clever
You thought you had it figured out
Couldn’t keep me caged forever
I walked myself in, I’ll see myself out
I will see myself
I will see myself
I will see me fall in and out of it

Royal Blood
Ever since I’ve known you
I swore this day would come
We’ve known each other for far too long
Just to turn our backs and run
Now things feel so different
Even though we said they’d never change
We’ve grown from past experiences
Yet we walk our separate ways
Losing my mind once again
The cycle never ends
I give and take, give and take, give and take
Now I’m splitting at both ends
Losing my friend once again
We never break, we bend
This royal blood stays true till the end
Now you walk around
like you’ve got something to prove
And now you’re all alone
So what are you gonna do
Besides running your mouth?
So take your best shot
You think you’re better than me?
You know I was down for anything
I was there when you needed me
But you weren’t there when I needed you
Your neck it hangs from a rope
You try breathe but you choke
And now you’re all alone
So what’s the point of living?
You should just let go
Before you speak, do you think?
Before you jump, do you see
How deep this water falls
Before you realize how fucking shallow you really are
I used to call you brother
And now we’re not even friends
You said these things would fade with time
But that’s not how it all worked out in the end
Fairweather friends, fairweather friends
They’re more common than most
I’m cutting ties
Done saving lives
For ones that don’t deserve the hope
You said that this would be simple
But you never kept me in mind
You told me once that I saved your life
You asked for help and I didn’t think twice
Now you’re just borrowing time
(I want my enemies defeated)
Selfish, selfish
You know that you are
Selfish, selfish
Did we take this too far?
Selfish, selfish
You know that you are
You know that you are
I used to call you brother
And now we’re not even friends
I’ve lied so many times I swear
That god can’t even save me in the end
Together till the end, forever
And I guess what hurts the most
I’ve lost my time to apologize
What else can I do but to let go?

Dusk Till Dawn
Free me from my rusted chains and I’ll
Live with no regret my whole life
Trying to find a way to survive
And never think twice
Never again, never again
Never will i tear myself apart for nothing
It’s all in my head, it’s all in my head
It’s all in my head, some things I’ll always regret
And yet, I do the same things over and over again
Have you ever
Had one of those dreams
You’re sinking deeper
I know you know what I mean
(You’re so lost and alone)
You try to call for help
But nobody’s home
Have you ever
Had one of those days
When the sunshine’s out
But it doesn’t shine the same
Because I don’t feel the same
I don’t feel the same
Am I the only one
Am I the only one who feels like
Misery’s my company?
I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one, so scream it
Misery’s our company
That’s when I realized I was better off on my own
Alone
Have you ever
Had one of those dreams
You’re sinking deeper
I know you know what I mean
(You’re so lost and alone)
You try to call for help
But nobody’s home
Have you ever
Had one of those days
When the sunshine’s out
But it doesn’t shine the same
Because I don’t feel the same
I don’t feel the same
Just stay calm
You know that everything’s fine
From dusk till dawn
We pray to see the daylight
I saw the sign
Coming closer to my face
Cut me right between the eyes and I
Lost control
Crashed my car up on the curb
Hit my head up on a pole and now
I see things clearly now
Even though I lost my sight
Black and blue’s up on my side
You can say that I’m different now
I’m seeing things different now
I’m praying for death right now
It’s all that I need right now
You know, it’s all that I need
I’m praying for death right now
It’s all that I need right now
It’s all that I need, all that I need
All that I need

Three Thieves
You probably already know what it’s all about
We sip the rain by the roots
State of mind over clouds
This business could kill us
So keep your distance
And don’t get caught
Mischievous, we’re in it for the thrill of it
This is it, because young talent is limitless
And all the things we’ve done have never mattered any less
Another day, another grind
Just a few less breaths
We work for wage until the vines make it up to our necks
And I’m gasping for breath
We swim in the darkest waters
We fuel the fire just for fun
It’s all a lie
Attention high
So can I pull my own weight or will my time run out?
With all of my past mistakes forever bringing me down
There’s still a chance to right my wrongs if I can find my way out
And I’m screaming
Do you hear me?
Open the flood gates
The floors quake, you’re waking up
Making head waves though most days won’t make enough
Open the flood gates
The floors quake, you’re waking up
No more gasping, no more gasping
We swim in the darkest waters
We fuel the fire just for fun
It’s all a lie
Attention high
We climb the tallest mountains
We reach the top and stare straight into the sun
It’s all for the thrill
We play for keeps, we shoot to kill

Sleepwalker
You’re asleep
I’m sleepwalking
I try to keep
My wounds open
You cut me deep
I start to bleed out
I try to speak
These thoughts unspoken
I wish you told them
But you
Keep quiet
You always keep things quiet from me
Yeah, this is not good for your heart
Yeah, this will rip and tear you apart
It’s tearing me apart
I’m trying to give you a chance to shine
Just this one time
But I’d rather hide out in the shade
Is it such a crime to feel alive for once in your life?
Everything’s packed, I’m ready to go
Just take me away
Keep the best of me
Take the waste, all the hate
And throw it away
This is key, just talk to me
I’m here for you if you’re here for me
But you
Keep quiet
You always keep things quiet from me
(You’re all alone)
Yeah, this is not good for your heart
Yeah, this will rip and tear you apart
It’s tearing me apart
You’re all alone
In the dark

Tired Son
You walked out again
You locked the doors
You closed the shutters
You left me lying in the rain
As it thundered
And I’ve been seeing this pattern lately
Is something wrong?
I think just maybe
That you hate me
Because you hold me to something
That was nothing
But I wish you well
On the path you take
I saw a reflection
Of a mountain and a man
He had something to say
Are you tired, son?
Are you tired, son?
Are you tired of living the same old way
Day after day?
I just can’t ignore, I just can’t ignore
Everything that’s been said
But I don’t take these things so seriously
Don’t leave me in the dark
It scares me
I saw a man
Come down from this mountain and
He said some words
They went like this
‘Why sleep when we barley have time to live?’
Is this anyway to live? No
No it isn’t
So keep living
Get out, you’re not welcome anymore
I try to pay attention
But my heart starts beating
Slowly and calmly
As I try to keep my distance
But my heart starts beating
As heard him saying that he could
Lead me to the water
Just to see if I’d take a drink
He said ‘follow in my footsteps’
But I don’t think the thoughts that you think
This life’s not yours
I saw a man
Come down from this mountain and
He said some words
They went like this
‘Why sleep when we barley have time to live?’
Is this anyway to live? No
No it isn’t
So keep living now

Shattered Mind

Shattered Mind
Wake up as the sun shines through your bedroom window
Let the chills creep down your spine
On the outside looking in
Your family knows you’re suffering
Yet you’re convinced that everything’s fine
(Everything’s fine)
The voice inside your head is turning thoughts against you
Your foundation’s crumbling, and you think no one is there to catch you
You’ll never know how much you’re worth
Until you’re shaking on the floor
Always begging for something more
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved and it’s a shame you’ll never know
Every night I have this reoccurring dream
That I wake up to find you talking in your sleep
To find you strung out and tearing at the seems
I’ve been seeing red in places that I’ve never seen
Your eyes roll back into your head
I wake up in a pool of sweat
I turn myself towards the door
And the cycle repeats
Remember the night you fell asleep at the wheel?
Swallowed a pill so you forgot what it’s like to feel
Washed it down with some booze in the white lights
You could have taken your own or another life
Refuse to see what is real
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved
You sip the blood, mix it with drugs and the poison
Your life’s slipping away
So lost in life
No love or devotion
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
You’re not a slave to addiction
Only a slave to yourself
You can break free from this hell
