Tear my throat from my neck
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck Pull me apart like I'm defective Point out my flaws like you'll be respected Strike out my name with infinite potential Speak for my fame like you're influential How do you sleep so sound With so many demons in your head to wrestle You fed me lies I severed ties You can't make me disappear You tried to break me But I'm still here You can't make me disappear You tried to break me But I'm still here You can't make me disappear Keep running joke, you are regret Always bouncing back just like your cheques A monument on hollow ground Lived nine lives more then fucking sold me out Cat took your tongue but none of your credentials Don't waste my time with your sentimentals How can you speak without shred of sincere You can't make me disappear You tried to break me But I'm still here You can't make me disappear You tried to break me But I'm still here You can't make me disappear Point out my flaws Strike out my name Pull me apart You fucking fake You can't make me disappear You tried to break me I'm still here I'm still here You are regret Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck Tear my throat from my neck You are regret Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck Tear my throat from my neck 02. Bloodline
I can't escape you
No matter how far I run (can't escape you) I can't erase you From who I've become (you're a part of me) Memories coursing through my veins Like the scars in yours, my roots remain I was raised in hell I made it out by myself I was raised to bleed Bad blood runs wild and free Bad blood runs wild and free Bad blood runs wild and free I thought you were dreaming Eyes rolled to the stars Sinking slowly in muddy water Set beneath the tar You left me in the dark We grew up scared Bruised and battered Youth torn and tattered As long as you were sky high Nothing fucking mattered Hotel homes in the cross Under the bridge and lost With your heads in the clouds above You call this love You call this love I was raised in hell I made it out by myself I was raised to bleed Bad blood runs wild and free I thought you were dreaming (hell raised me) I thought you were dreaming Bad blood runs wild and free Bad blood runs wild and free Bad blood runs wild and free 03. 4D
I know what it was like to lose someone who raised you
Did they still love you when they lost their grip in overdose Facing doors I'd never hold a key to Searching for gold in a broken home I know what it was like to have a gift to give away I know what it was like to prove to them you had something But someone just like me Took the world away from you Just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Away from you Searching for gold in a broken home I'm drawing blood, blood from a stone I have nothing, no silver lining Just the guilt of surviving I have nothing but the guilt Left in me Someone just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Away from you Away from you Away from you (I'm still trying, your will dying I'm still trying, your will dying) 04. Talking Heads
Tip-toe through the ruins of my mind
Desolation in disguise I've been locked out of my thoughts for a long time The rusted gates Deteriorate Do my insecurities relate? It's like I'm waiting to fall apart To fall apart Waiting to fall Waiting to fall Waiting to fall apart My eyes are a sight below the surface The veil's wearing thin I don't fit into my skin Maybe I'm just like the rest of them But I refuse to take the medicine To escape the mess I'm in Outspoken By the voices in my head The voices in my head My mind is silenced By the talking heads Chattering at me With every waking breath My eyes are a sight below These voices I can't put to rest My eyes are a sight below The veil's wearing thin I don't fit into my skin Maybe I'm just like the rest of them But I refuse to take the medicine To escape the mess I'm in Outspoken By the voices in my head The voices in my head My mind is silenced by the talking heads Drowning out reason, drowning in lament My mind is silenced by the talking heads Outspoken by the voices in my head Outspoken by the voices in my head Fuck! My mind is silenced by the talking heads Chattering with every waking breath My mind is silenced by the talking heads Outspoken by the voices in my head 05. Freefall
The curtains were always drawn
Splinters of light spilled through the walls Escape was alone in my sleep Cause now I can't feel I can't feel at all I can't feel at all Your embrace in this freefall Sharing a tired mattress on the floor Hazy eyes in the night Waking to the crash As he broke down the door Loaded for slaughter Please don't kill me in the face of my son and daughter I still hear them screaming But I can't feel at all I can't feel at all I can't feel at all Your embrace in this freefall Your embrace in this freefall Your embrace in this freefall Like cold metal to the temple of my Father I'm numb when you suffer I'm numb when you suffer No empathy to give to another soul Stolen from me forever I will never be whole No empathy to give to another soul I'm numb when you suffer 06. Jinn
Brick by brick, from day one
The odds were stacked against me Brick by brick, overrun Now the walls that surround me Block the sun Now the walls that surround me Block the sun Stranded by what comforts me Life's a nightmare blooming free Bleary eyes Trace the lines I cross between I can't see if the grass is green Or if the garden is dead and twisted Like me on the inside Stranded by what comforts me Life's a nightmare blooming free Stranded by what confronts me I escape with what I choose to breathe The odds were stacked against me Now the walls that surround me Block the sun Block the sun Block the sun Block the sun Block out the sun Stranded by what comforts me Life's a nightmare blooming free Stranded by what confronts me I escape with what I choose to breathe Choose to breathe (Block out the sun) The odds were stacked against me 07. Eclipse
Salted streams of dismay
Cascade down my swollen face I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid And I can taste your failure Blame A loyal dog on a tight leash Shame A rabid wolf you can't feed Pain Is what you feel But you can't speak So take it out on me Take it out on me I was here to catch your blows Bruises, tears, no place called home By your design, my fear is alive No place to hide, your sacrifice Butterfly wings would shake the ground Every minuscule action you surround With anger, abuse and more bad news Your truth is fear, you taste of failure Blame A loyal dog on a tight leash Shame A rabid wolf you can't feed Pain Is what you feel But you can't speak So take it out on me Take it out on me Salted streams Of dismay Cascade down My swollen face I'm not afraid I'm not afraid I'm not afraid And I can taste your failure I will never let myself be like you You think we're one in the same There's more to me than a name I'll wear it proud but I will never let myself be like you I will never let myself be like you I will never let myself be like you 08. Rift
I'm not afraid
Of the void Between me and you The things that divide us Just lines in the sand Lies never true We're all the same The world's going to end We're all condemned And misconstrued (The world's going to end) I'm not afraid Of the void Between me and you We're all the same The world's going to end We're all condemned And misconstrued (The world's going to end) 09. Paradigm
I'm here with you but I won't hold my breath
For you to fix this disconnect I'm filled with doubt Won't hold my breath I've seen your past I lived through it You've come so far Will you relapse I'm here with you Please don't go back I'm here with you, I'm here with you (I hear the echoes of the past will this feeling last?) And I'm consumed by DeJa'Vu (I saw your faults spread into the cracks) I'm here with you, I'm here with you (Quicksand, I fear that you're sinking in) The devil danced in morning dew Until the end I'm here with you I'm here with you Standing where it all began Bracing for complete collapse Dread is over me Hope rewinding time Drowning in the change of tides Will you mend our paradigm I'm here with you, I'm here with you (I hear the echoes of the past will this feeling last?) And I'm consumed by DeJa'Vu (I saw your faults spread into the cracks) I'm here with you, I'm here with you (Quicksand, I fear that you're sinking in) The devil danced in morning dew Until the end I'm here with you Drowning in the change of tides Will you mend our paradigm Drowning in the change of tides Will you mend our paradigm 10. Vultures
Set fire to an icon
Set fire to the lie Set fire, bid farewell I'll be a martyr to myself Where do I go If every turn there's a vulture waiting To pick at my bones And bury me alive? My lungs are whitewashed A million thoughts on the tip of my tongue I can't keep hiding My guts in tight knots Abandon who I've become Or fight for what's inside me? Set fire to an icon Set fire to the lie Set fire, bid farewell I'll be a martyr to myself Where do I go If every turn there's a vulture waiting To pick at my bones And bury me alive? It's me against the world It's me against the world It's me against the world I feel their claws sinking in As the life spirals out from my inner self Let the earth where I carved my name burn Burn Set fire to an icon Set fire to the lie Set fire, bid farewell I'll be a martyr to myself Where do I go If every turn there's a vulture waiting To pick at my bones And bury me alive? It's me against the world It's me against the world 11. Sleepless
I can't reach your hand
I can't liberate you I know you're alive But in my heart I've said goodbye So tonight I'm sleepless Afraid of what I might become A curse I've tried to ignore But still it leaves me feeling numb I wish I could have done more It's taken over every cell Why are you drowning yourself When you are so unwell? I can't reach your hand I can't liberate you I know you're alive But in my heart I've said goodbye So tonight I'm sleepless I keep this out of sight Out of mind But I never left it all behind I never left it all behind I can't reach your hand I can't liberate you I know you're alive But in my heart I've said goodbye So tonight I'm sleepless I'm sleepless |
