Heartless
I still see your face,
Still see you,
I can still see your face
I remember everywhere that we've been,
You are in everything that I see,
But do you even think of me?
The person who I was is dead and gone,
From battles battles never won,
So sick of being shunned I think I'm done.
Memories of a dying time,
This vision in my subconscious mind
rewind,
Again and again, will it ever end?
Maddness reaching full throttle,
Find the answers deep in another bottle.
Fragments of forgotten days,
Yet still your gaze remains engrained.
Now I think that it's safe to say,
This darkened void is here to stay.
And now I feel so heartless.
You left me broken, left me bittersweet,
Silently suffering,
I am slowly choking on the heat.
I'm not sorry for the things that I said,
Nor all the things that I did.
All of the signs misread, I've been mislead.
So rip the heart straight from my chest,
And lock it in a box.
Again and again, will it ever end?
Madness reaching full throttle,
Drowning at the bottom of another bottle.
Fragments of forgotten days,
Yet still your gaze remains engrained.
Now I think that it's safe to say,
This darkened void is here to stay.
You tried to kill me once before,
I cannot trust you anymore,
You must now lie in the bed you made,
It started the day you betrayed me.
Misery is all I understand,
Pour salt into the open wound and sand,
From the hour glass of time that I wasted on you,
Look me in the eye to know your words ring true.
Though I'm the one who is full of strife,
You are still the one who is holding the knife.
Seeping deep and deeper into broken bone.
Into scar tissue I call my home.
How could you be so heartless?
Fragments of forgotten days,
Yet still your gaze remains engrained,
Now I think that it's safe to say,
This darkened void is here to stay,
You tried to kill me once before,
I cannot trust you anymore,
You must now lie in the bed you made,
It all started the day that you betrayed me.
How could you be so heartless?

Thorns

The flower is gone but the thorn remans,
Serves as a reminder of better days.
Smile through the pain of the thorn unseen,
My only desire to wipe the slate clean.
A life full of regret,
A life I choose to forget,
A life full of pain and torment,
A life I cant seem to forget.
I am at war within myself,
Between my mind and my body.
Mental relapse till I collapse,
Giving into the agony.
Cold isolation coursing through my veins,
Intravenous is all I crave.
That makes me a slave,
A place to numb the pain.
Take it all away.
The flower is gone but the thorn remains,
Serves as reminder to better days.
Smile through the pain of the thorn unseen,
My only desire to wipe the slate clean.
A life full of regret,
A life I choose forget,
A life full of pain and torment.
We can't forget this darkness,
We can't forget the scars,
See what you've done,
Your bastard sons,
This is who we are.
Loneliness and confusion,
Cloud my better judgement,
Through torment and despair,
I have found my path.
This darkness makes us who we are,
I cannot forget the scars.
This darkness makes us who we are,
I can't forget.
I remember what you did to me,
The feeling is sickening,
Witness the sin of giving in,
You had the chance to avoid this circumstance.
We won't forget this darkness,
We won't forget the scars,
See what you've done,
your bastard sons,
This is who we are.
The flower is gone but the thorn remains,
Serves as a reminder of better days,
Smile through the pain of the thorn unseen,
My only desire to wipe the slate clean.
Just to wipe the slate clean.

Looking back on all that I have done,
Facing the man that I have become.
Fight for the right to live another day,
You have to understand,
There is no other way.
Be thankful that we have the freedom to choose,
And understand that we have nothing left to lose.
We change into something new,
Life doesn't play out just in the way that you expect it to.
The loved ones lost,
Love lost, then found, and lost again,
These broken hearts that I try to mend,
We're all just stories in the end,
Just make it a good one.
And when the silence falls, I'll live for the days,
We are still here.
If you want my life, then come and get it.
If you want my life, then fucking come and get it.
I'd love to see you try and take this away from me.
As I look upon the passing years,
Was this battle worth all the blood, sweat and tears?
Times change and so must I,
I've lived too long, but I don't wanna die.
I've lived this life over a thousand times,
Over a thousand different faces, none of them are mine.
Don't live in the future, don't dwell on the past,
Be thankful for the now because it doesn't last.
Be thankful that we have the freedom to choose,
And understand that we have nothing left to lose.
We change into something new,
Life doesn't play out just in the way that you expect it to.
And when the silence falls, I'll live for the days,
We are still here.
My body my soul decay,
Don't sit there dreaming, don't waste away.
We only get one life, so take,
Take the risk, don't hesitate,
Or they'll put you in your place.
Rip you down from your firm beliefs,
So easy to be consumed by grief,
Rise above the oncoming storm.
Finally we escape the past,
Tasting freedom at last,
I am reborn.

Ring of fire, feeling more than I ever have before,
Just take it all away and make me numb forevermore.
And as the day turns to night I feel the demons creeping back into my skull.
They all return,
The what if's, the what-could-have-been's, the regrets, the losses,
The lies they all return.
Sweet Anxiety please sing me to sleep,
Horrific images are dncing in my dreams.
My head is spinning and I'm falling on the floor,
Everything I've known is walking out the door.
Sing to escape myself,
Erase this hand that I've been dealt.
Everything I've felt shall melt away,
And I will no longer be me.
Oh the rage, the sorrow, the hunger,
The crushing loneliness.
They all gain passage through,
The weakened walls of my mind and they dance.
I'm tearing at my mind,
And I can't even remember a time that I could rest at night.
Anxiety plagues all that I know,
And I'm trying, and I'm trying not to let it show.
Please don't make it worse,
I'm doing everything I can to reverse the curse.
Take a little time to view the world from my eyes,
It's never gunna be just like you thought it was if you thought it was fine.
My head is spinning and I'm falling on the floor,
Everything I've known is walking out the door.
Sing to escape myself,
Erase this hand that I've been dealt,
Everything I've felt shall melt away and.
I can feel it take over my body.
Why don't you take the time to listen?
Why don't you take the time to listen to your own advice?
I think you really need to know.
You are the source of all of my insecurities,
And I will swiftly take you down,
Take you to your fucking knees.
You tried to take away my will to live,
I am neither good nor gentle,
And I do not forgive.

Endless War
03:15
|

|
I destroy all of the things that I hold most dear,
My soul erased by my biggest fears,
I've been replaced by all the tears,
And all that is left is a memory.
Why do we all strive to survive?
Oh why can't we make up our minds,
Just to live our lives before we die?
Secrets in flesh and stone,
The answers never known,
We are the chosen few,
If you believe in me then i believe in you.
I'm taking the power back,
Growing stronger by the hour.
Wonder who's left to listen,
Counting down the days,
I'm moving on.
And as they sit on their decrepid thrones,
With their judgmental words,
And their judgmental thoughts,
Mean nothing.
I am sick of fighting this endless war,
Tired of searching for something more,
We only get this one life,
To make things alright.
Every single day,
I'm moving forward.
Im breaking down these walls,
till theirs nothing,
Standing in my way,
End the violence,
Take my hand as we fight the silence.
I am taking the power back,
Growing stronger by the hour.
Wonder who's left to listen,
Counting down the days,
I'm moving on.
Counting down the days.
Wonder who is left to listen,
(I won't forget my wicked ways)
Counting down the days,
I'm moving on.
