Thoughts fill your head, The need to reset met with the burden of silence (The burden of silence) The coldest blue, resonates from you And i tried my best to see this through You wouldn’t know what it takes..

Wide Awake 04:41
Tune out the static of the tv screen Familiar colors dancing on the ceiling i avoid your eyes As you speak your mind Keep living like you do Its catching up with you And I cant watch you sink Or it’ll take me too So contemplate what there is to lose Carefully choose What will define you (What will define you) Or keep living like you do i will let you choose If you keep living like you do You’ll see what there is to lose Keep living like you do Its catching up with you And i cant watch you sink The more it takes me too So contemplate what there is to lose Carefully choose what will define you Feeling consequence from living as i did It kept me wide awake And i made the choice to have a voice and speak my mind Even in trying times The past isn’t wasted time Ive learned from my mistakes Knowledge is gained from all that is keeping me Wide awake So contemplate what there is to lose Carefully choose What will define you Or keep living like you do, But thats why youre wide awake When the world is asleep So we’ll keep living like we do You’ll think you’ve nothing left to lose Until its taken from you

Drifting in a purgatory that i cannot escapeLike stones we sink, the waters deep, And the waves are consuming; but i’ll be here to the endTime is ticking, yet everything feels to stagnant(So stagnant) where do i turn when everything feels so unimportant I wish i could change this headspace.. but its a parasitic draw that i cannot eraseEven when im feeling great, it starts feeling so fucking fakeAnd if youd look at my face would you still see my fate? Even if i died today could i ever be at peace?So let me inSo i can let this out Drifting in this purgatory that i cannot escapeAnd Why does this world waste its time on me?A son of shameFollow me to the end as i sink again(x2)Ive done it once before and l can do it againBut how long before it all becomes overbearing? I am doing my best, but somedays it doesn’t feel like i can winShut you out as you let me inLet this resentment endI cant let this overwhelm meI cant let this be the endOf everything ive worked so hard forEverything ive learned and fought for Ill follow through to the end i wont sink againx2 I wont sink againEven when im feeling great, its starts feeling so fucking fake.Time is ticking, everything feels so stagnant I wont let it overwhelm me againIve been here before and it gets so tiringIve heard it all before buts its all sung in the same tuneA simple lullaby for the ones they cant save A couple words for the speechless in hopes it will put their demons to sleepBut still they wont rest easyWas it ever easy?

This is all you have Slipping awayThis is all you have Hold it together Blurring the lines So you can feel alrightThe trees are silent in the dead of nightEntwined, the limbs of your own mindThe deeper they fall the higher you climbAnd they wont wait for youTo come down from the skyAs their own wounds healYou’ll fall from their eyes Take what they give Until they can’t take what you give Give up nothing to them Until they give up on youWhen will it make sense toTo give them the truthIs it in you?A lifetime of muttering what should have been And now you’re falling through the branches, wondering if this was your last chance to start againThe past is the pastForgive yourselfAnd dont look backBut Don’t expect them to stick around As you’re killing yourself The coldest blue Resonates from youAnd its saturates Everything Justified By nothing Thoughts filling your head;The need to resetMet with the burden of silence And I can only help to Bridge the gapBetween what you see and what it really takes to feel at allComforting, Is the fog of a dream Clueless animationyou wanna know what it takesTo break through their gaze? Hopeless to see whats been missing A lifetime of muttering what should have been And now youre falling through the branches Wondering if this was your last chance to start againThe past is the pastForgive yourself and don’t look backAnd don’t expect them to stick around as you’re killing yourselfYou can’t put that weight on themThe coldest blue resonates from you(From you)And it saturates everything JustifiedBy nothingThoughts filling your head;The need to reset met with the burden of silence And i can only help to bridge the gap Between what you see and what it really takes to feel at allComforting is the fog of a dream Clueless animationYou wanna know what it takes to break through their gaze?No hesitation.

Disparage 05:13
I can feel the subtle breeze, the solid ground underneath my feet So I’m not listening to a word you’re saying, because you don’t know shit about me Your life’s a guessing game Unsettled, taken by the current I feel free, as you drift away I never want to see your fucking face Float on And don’t look back It’s too far gone (too far gone) Your life doesn’t belong in mine I can feel the subtle breeze, the solid ground underneath my feet But still this takes so much away from me There is no harmony in settling for less I’ll find growth With, or without you Our blood runs thin When it corners you, and you’re all alone Maybe then you’ll learn Maybe then you’ll learn x3 But I won’t hold my breath You will never be the one to open up I can feel the subtle breeze, the solid ground underneath my feet But still I never felt the harmony I thought this life wasn’t meant for me So I sank, and I sank, and I sank And I almost drowned, Until I gave up on you Now maybe it’s time to turn the page Before you fray the paper Erasing all the truth that’s hiding under Start a new chapter, or you’ll never find the life you’re after Wasting away.

The cold hits like a ton of bricksWe walk this town without a destinationFreezing my ass off; but i enjoy the view Of your silhouetteAnd how the light reflects A shape that draws me inOh, how you draw me inLemon yellow coat Such a wide smileI wish i would have knownThat It was overgrownLemon yellow coatWhen you’re losing hopeJust let me know You say the world would let you go;But i wontSo don’t let goAnd i hope you’re doing wellBecause you dont deserve the painThat swells Inside But i know you hide it well, and it doesn’t showBut, it growsLemon yellow coatSuch a wide smileI wish i would have knownThat it was overgrownLemon yellow coatWhen youre losing hopeJust let me know The world may let you goBut i wontWe will all grow oldAnd fade from this worldSo stay Why would you go?What is to gain? Just breathe Give yourself some time to start againSo dont let goLemon yellow coat Such a wide smile I wish i would have knownThat it was overgrown Yeah, it was overgrown

A fire burning in my head Snuffed by the ocean just to drown instead Just please know that I don’t wanna die, but a moment alone can spark a fire That I can’t contain Always fighting; always in vein When you were calling from miles away You were always drained; Always afraid And I was on my way to an early grave And yes, i heard you fucking say “you know that’s all it takes? it’s never just one drink” Always a sip away from numbing everything I swear this isn’t me This isn’t me A fire burning in my head snuffed by the ocean just to drown instead A lifetime debt Sick, but still I’m here living it Throw me below the undertow and let it drown me out It’s all wasted time with me ‘cause I can’t see anything beyond the waves Sea foam green consuming me I’ll throw it all away(x2) I hope you know i have to live my life In spite of the light that never shines You know what you did, and it kills me inside that you feel no regret A fire burning in my head snuffed by the ocean, just to drown instead A lifetime debt Sick, but still I’m here living
