Oh god, she took me away. How could you take this from me?
How could you take this from me? How could you take this from anyone?

Here we go again with all the disrespect, you fucked up now you'll never forget. So quick to run your mouth about the things I love and what I'm about. My life, my own rules; Dealt the hand that has made me cruel. Been thinking about giving up. I know the end is near and you don't give a fuck.

I can't see who's on my shoulders anymore, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't even take a simple step, or even say a word. I am now the only one left standing.

Who are we to say these things?

You, you said so much, so many hateful things. But she never said a single word about you.
You hold a grudge, and it's eating you away.
Just take me home. Just take me back home.

Ghost of my past, come back to haunt me. Who else should I be?
So I'm not in the middle of this any longer.
This is breaking me down. I never chose to be a part of this.
I can't believe the shit you let me believe.
Please set me free.

A sharp splash of glass upon my broken grave.
There's only one way back home.
Death looks into his eyes; he looks back at his face.
Cold windowsill beneath his bare feet; he's not the man to make these kinds of decisions.

Maybe someone will catch me.
Maybe someone will save me.
Short breathes of air, the only thing left to take.
He closes his eyes and feels the wind on his face.

"These pillars of hell?"
Destruction of trust, they fall to the ground.
Descending to heaven, a breathe of fresh air.
The whole way down.

Maybe someone will catch me.
Maybe someone will save me.
Short breathes of air, the only thing left to take.
He closes his eyes and feels the wind on his face.

He goes back to his childhood, to where he felt at home.
He envisions his mothers face, and smiles one last time.
Will he feel this long enough, will he remember her face then.
Will I see her again? Will I see her again? Will I still wake up when I hit the ground?

No, don't let me forget. Please don't let me forget. What i fought for this long, please don't take it away.

I came so far only to cause more pain.
I'll leave a scar along with every shattered dream.
I'm falling so fast, they can't see through my eyes.

They're so blinded by this act, but its much more than that.

Lifeless bodies, they can't go back home.
Fallen bodies, broken families.

Under a crooked palm tree, I'm lying in the grass wondering what life will be.
I know it will be hard, but I've got heart.

Set me stray, set me stray like a dog.
Send me off to this world alone.

I never knew much about family, mom and dad never got along. Brother and Sister died before they knew my name.

Send me off to this world alone, with a fire in my heart.
Give 100 percent, get thrown to the curb.

I'll learn to see these days, in a shadow, in the dirty streets, in the alleyways.

Look at me, they could have been so much more.
With the brightest eyes, looking back has never been so hard.

It was all a game, with every move I make follows a consequence.

Hope, the only thing keeping me going.
Hope's the only thing I ever had.



Hollows:

I've had this dream one thousand times, and counting.
What does it feel like, what does it feel like to be awake in your sleep?
I bet it feels so...

Familiar, all the same. I swear to god I've seen this face, so frequently in my past.
This cant be coincidence, this cant be coincidental.

Why did you cut your ties from all of us?
We are isolated.
Left with only eyes looking back at me.
What are you staring at? What the fuck are you staring at?

How many times will I go through this nightmare, knowing that I'm still awake?
Why can't I remember who I am, how did I get so far from everyone?
How did I get so distant? It's getting harder to see through the rain.
but I can still see myself.

The only thing you've ever really done for me is pull me down the furthest that I've ever been.
You took my hand, you told me it would all be fine.
The darkest blues I've ever seen?

I know this cant be real.
I would rather die at the bottom of the sea, than watching things turn out like this.
I would rather die.

Pick it up, a vessel, to keep you in your thoughts.
An unquestioned action, you do it automatically.

I lie waiting to be released; you never see what keeps me up.
What's making me like this? You can't see my dreams.

Keep running your selfish mouth, your letting this fall apart.
Keep running your selfish mouth. I'll show you what this is about.
Keep pressing your luck.

You never see the effort I put into things.
You concentrate on my weakness; I'm scared to see what I can do.

I'll make my way outside of this?
You never thought you'd see me, you never thought I'd be here standing right in front of you.
Here to remind you who you are, who you really are inside.
I'll make my way outside.

Don't fucking hold me back.

I'd like to say I'm from this place, its never felt that way.
To me I've always felt so far from everything.
You're slowly hacking away, I'll tear and scar.
I wont compare, manipulation at its lowest form.
No longer aware of this incarceration.

You find yourself so close to this. No turning back.

And all along, you made it like she was making everything up.
And I believed it all, I put my trust in you.
No longer will I see eye to eye. You made a promise. You made a promise to me.

You told me you would stay, you told me she would leave.
So tell me what should I think, when you're driving away?

Pick up the devil and take a life away again. Murderous eyes; no one stands in his way.
You've taken enough from our broken home.
Leave me behind. Let this swallow me whole.
I'll never last, leave me here to die, but I'm glad you left.
See how far you really are from everything now?

And all along, you made it like she was making everything up.
And I believed it all, I put my trust in you.
No longer will I see eye to eye. You made a promise. You made a promise to me.

You told me you would stay, you told me she would leave.
So tell me what should I think, when you're driving away?

I never knew it would come to this. All along you failed to tell me what I was doing wrong. I thought you were treasure, but really you were fools gold, in an empty chest.

So pick up the devil and shoot this down.
You're a man with too many regrets.

Looking back on the past, through a charred pane of glass,
wondering where did i go wrong?
wondering where his bright mind turned to shit.
He through his shell into the sea, lost under a sea of blues.

Days go by, he's still a burden on his family. Years passing by, he's still long gone.
Now just a memory, that I stay haunted by. His voice still lingers through my head. I never said goodbye.

As he sits dead in his chair
Full of the poison he so cleverly sought.
He tried so hard, to leave us behind.
His mother barely just hanging on.
She's still waiting for him to come back home.

A diamond necklace.
His youthful innocence
still shining bright in her eyes.

But she was never shamed..

Looking back on the past, through a charred pane of glass, wondering where his bright mind turned to shit. She through his shell into the sea, that's how she remembers?

Her pride and joy, still shining bright in her eyes.

The empty promises keep us coming back for more, too clueless to realize what's in store.
Too fucked up to save yourself from the end.
Where is your so-called family now?
Too fucked up to save yourself from this hell.
Where is your so-called family now?
You'll hold this close but ill hold it closer,
wishing things could be different.
But there is no faith in false words?

How much longer can you keep this up?
I can tell you're running on empty.
The color in your face is fading, and your trembling voice is weak.

Why would you betray what has built you to be who you are?
Why would you hurt the ones you love?
No amount of medicine can fix me, and nothing else can redeem your morality.

A manic state of mind, a violent temper.
A growing addiction to a growing secret.
We didn't leave you. You left us.
Your disease ripped your mind from your body.
Your disease took away from your family.

Too fucked up to save yourself from the end.
Where is your so-called family now?
Too fucked up to save yourself from this hell.
Where is your so-called family now?

You'll hold this close but I'll hold it closer.
Wishing things could be different
But there is no faith in false words coming from the mouth of a sinner.
No faith in fucking false words.

Open your eyes. You keep them close to him.
There are people around me everywhere, but I can't help but feeling further than I have ever felt before.
I'm growing anxious, rivers of noise flowing through my insecurities.

Come feast your eyes, this was expected. I sat there still. I didn't say a word.

Yet through the worst of times I stuck by you, gave everything a friend could give. And in return you took it for granted, spit right in my fucking face. And now your gone, I'm glad, I've never been better. I hope these words will make an impact on you. I'll be fine. Don't worry at all. Not that you ever did.

The lies are starting to cover the windows. You're lost in yourself.
Your apology will not be accepted.
What makes you think I can feel any longer, I have turned to stone.
Just bear with me. I can make this better.
I can make this better. I will make this better.

The furthest thing from perfection, you make it so real I want to believe. You are making this more than it actually is, you're making it more-you're fucking it up.
A mask for the puppet you'll always be.
A mask for the puppet you will always be.

Cold hearted kid, he lives his life with no rules, he's just a man of misfortune.
Cold hearted kid, he thinks he's so fucking cool.

He walks alone with his lit cigarette, through the alleys filled with scum and regret.

Drink your pain away, send your sorrows off to see and be the loneliest being.
Drink your pain away, there is nothing left to see. Your life is a haunted reflection.

Know that true love doesn't always exist but he never knew it would end up like this.
You picked him up when he was down and out and showed him what the meaning of life was about.

But as he sits and thinks, how did he end up like this?
And now he wonders why his life turned to shit.

The drugs are starting to tear him apart.
His mind is racing, he hears the beat of his heart

He'll walk alone with his lit cigarette, through the alleys filled with scum and regret.

And all he wants is his family back; to get his fucked up life on the right track.

Drink your pain away, send your sorrows off to see and be the loneliest being.
Drink your pain away, there is nothing left to see. Your life is a haunted reflection.

Know that true love doesn't always exist but he never knew it would end up like this.
You picked him up when he was down and out and showed him what the meaning of life was about.

His mind is racing, he hears the beat of his shallow heart.

Constructing my world with clouded imagination.
I have created my own ghost.
Fall and hit the floor. Feel the pain and take in some more. You'll never know what its like to be like me.

All these jaded roads that I will walk alone, all these faded memories of the ones I no longer know.

80 more years, today I still cant find myself. And all I have is emptiness for you.

Tell me the reason for your actions, why must you always tear me down? Constant battles bring a wave of depression, I am a broken man in an endless struggle.

When will this end?
