Failing Lungs
01:51
|
|||
|
in a darkened hole
threatened by my mind
housed by isolation
longing for peace that i wont find
these empty rooms
cold as iron wounds
forced will to smile
sanity denied
your listening abilities
won't save my failing lungs
from silent screams of suffering
won't change all that they've done
y'all watched me fall apart
foundations cracked below
pretending to care about me
enjoying the fucking show
this anger
inside of me
its glaring
its blinding me
from inside
myself reborn
into a stranger
a me unknown
never thought i'd see the day
were i didn't care to live or die
apathy runs in my veins
a grey scale view of life
tired of most everything
trying for the sake of show
saving face for fake friends and peers
for people i just don't know
i wont die just because no one cared.

Mantra
01:38
|

|
lost
inside this hell
an empty voice
a hollow shell
chained, to emptiness
a darkened room
a hopeless tryst
I'm being told that I'm not alone
but when i open my eyes
they're all fucking gone
can't hold back, this rage in my mind
it's getting harder to breathe
it's getting tougher to smile
so tell me how, I should find
a certain person , to clear my mind
could they handle, all that i say
when i vent these fucking visions and this pain
I'm not wounded, I'm just not here
I'm residing in myself to persevere
cause every second, each corner turned
is another fucking instance where I get burned
medicated by the strength inside me.

Threat of Drowning
02:27
|
|||
|
threat of drowning, but I will not sink
I refuse to let what I've been through identify me
I'm more than hate, more than pain and despair
my name will stand for more than my personal hells
overcome
face the pain
overcome
I walked the path of death
shook its cold hands
stood eye to eye
surviving was my consequence
and as my world collapsed
one thing rang true
it was not the death of me
when I saw the death of you
I saw the depths inside myself
opened up my heart
as a means to accept
and what i learned was to stomach the loss
the charge forward
shed the weight of this cross
overcome
face the pain
overcome
remain
I will not bow down
to a world that see's me as a flame
snuffed out
burn.

Surmised
02:48
|
|||
|
is there nothing left inside?
am I rotting inside my mind?
I've lost hope, no where to hide
from the reality in my eyes
why doesn't peace resonate?
how am I to heal this pain?
feeling lost day after day
no longer me I am unnamed
locked in a cold room to implicate
asking for what I can't replicate
shackled by your idea of me
crushed by your disdain
blood on my hands in your eyes
a heavy accusation you surmise
blood on my hands in your eyes
this implication, my demise
4 walls to implicate
crime of passion, act of rage
shackled by what you create
a step up a career you'll gain
you tried to break me, and lost
robbed me of closure, with no cause
no evidence, no proof
no trust left in you
broken hearted, without guilt
can't explain, justice failed
left aside, shut out
a cell of silence, no sound
