Prologue
01:13
|
|||
my self detest and arrogance are waging bloody war and I crumpled in the trenches
crumbled in the trenches
i am nothing but a structure
a hollow, empty vessel
i am nothing but a shadow
and my skin is thin and fragile
tightly wrapped over my veins
you won’t remember my name when I’m done here
will you?
I’m scared to face the jagged gaze that always keeps me running
I’m scared to face the monster in the mirror I’m becoming
and the acceptance of abandonment has seeped through this fragile skin and it twisted up my spine and broke my bones and killed my thoughts and it
poisoned my reality and left my heart to rot
I watched my bridge collapse and I built false pride in the debris
I’m screaming I’m too good for you and I’m
still not good enough for me

Bridges
03:10
|
|||
I’ve spent my life forging splintered bridges
Just to watch them crumble underneath the weight
Of all my dreams of maintaining significance
Stand back and watch me fade away
I’ve fought
For too long
To let these hopes and dreams rot
I’m reckless
Abandoned
In the dreams you left stranded
I’ll stand my ground
Don’t need your company I
I’ll burn these bridges down I’m
All the support that I need
We built an empire
We lived the glory days
Time has come and gone
And I’m still here in the same place
I built an empire
Just to watch my friends spit on it’s grave
I’ll resurrect the price I paid
I’ve fought
For too long
To let these hopes and dreams rot
I’m reckless
Abandoned
In the dreams you left stranded
I’ll stand my ground
Don’t need your company I
I’ll burn these bridges down I’m
All the support that I need
And when the worst is over
You know I’ll make it known
You left me on my own
You know I’ll make it known
And when I reach the places
You never cared to go
You know I’ll make it known
I made it on my own
I’ve fought
For too long
To let these hopes and dreams rot
I’m reckless
Abandoned
In the dreams you left stranded
I’ll stand my ground
Don’t need your company I
I’ll burn these bridges down I’m
All the support that I need

My Only Hope
04:06
|
|||
I’m so afraid of failure
It’s why I can’t let go
I’m so used to abandonment
It’s why I love control
Live in fear of betrayal
Don’t ask me to get close
I’m not the best that I could be
But I need you to know
Whoa, this future is my only hope
Whoa, yeah, I’ve got no where else to go
I’m running
Keep running
I’ve broken down my choices,
Analyzed my decisions
Evaluated everything I’ve done to get me through this
And still I’m chasing after
Every single somber note
I’ll salvage what is left of me
I’m chasing after what I know
Whoa, this future is my only hope
Whoa, yeah I’ve got no where else to go
I’m running
Keep running
I’ve laid my life down
I’ve given everything
You have your judgements but you
Don’t know what this means to me
Whoa, this future is my only hope
Whoa, yeah I’ve got no where else to go
I’m running
Keep running
This future is my only hope
This future is my only hope

What I Want To See
03:39
|
|||
I still can’t quite accept
All of the consequence
I’m earning from the actions that I’m learning to pursue
And without confidence
I assert dominance
In every conversation just to try and forget you
And I don’t wanna pretend anymore
But I don’t want to face what I choose to ignore
And I don’t wanna pretend anymore
But you're giving me no other choice
So turn the lights on
And pull me out of my head
So that I’m face to face with everything
I wish I never did
Turn the lights on
And nothing matters to me
‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
It’s not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
I still can’t quite accept
My own irrelevance
I’ve spent my life fighting
Just to mean something to you
And in my self detest
My insignificance
Is screaming that I’m worthless
And there’s nothing I can do
And I don’t wanna pretend anymore
But I don’t wanna waste my mind waging this war
I don’t wanna pretend anymore
Won’t you give me another choice?
So turn the lights on
And pull me out of my head
So that I’m face to face with everything
I wish I never did
Turn the lights on
And nothing matters to me
‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
It's not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
I don’t feel calm in my own skin
Don’t know how I let this happen
Sinking deeper into this pit
I don’t know why I welcome it
I’ve been down here for so long
I’m accustomed to both right and wrong
I don’t care to learn the difference
I don’t know why I welcome this
Turn the lights on
And pull me out of my head
So that I’m face to face with everything
I wish I never did
Turn the lights on
And nothing matters to me
‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
It’s not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
It’s not what I wanted to see

Overthinking
03:28
|
|||
I’m caught up in all these wild suspicions
I never use to let myself think freely.
After years of feeling nothing,
Why is it suddenly so easy?
I'm scared of my own childish longing
And I'm scared I'm coming on too strong.
I'm too nervous to look at you 'cause I know
I'll stare too long.
You've got me anxious in a way
I never thought I'd like.
I'm overthinking everything
That comes into my mind.
I want to let go,
I want to hold on.
I've never been so
Okay with being wrong.
Don't want to jump to any cheap conclusions,
Can I not confirm the way I feel
After I've spent my life insisting
Not a single bit of this is real?
I'm burdened with the thought of being
Without burden
Trapped in the mindset
That I might be freed.
This is the last thing I ever wanted
But it's the first thing I know I need.
You've got me anxious in a way
I never thought I'd like.
I'm overthinking everything
That comes into my mind.
I want to let go,
I want to hold on.
I've never been so
Okay with being wrong.
Oh, suddenly I can't breathe
In this wave you're creating.
I've never been so glad to
Feel myself suffocating.
Oh, suddenly I can't breathe
In this wave you're creating.
I've never been so glad to
Feel myself suffocating.
You've got me anxious in a way
I never thought I'd like.
I'm overthinking everything
That comes into my mind.
I want to let go,
I want to hold on.
I've never been so
Okay with being wrong.
I'm okay with being wrong.
I'm okay with being wrong.

B U R N.
03:17
|
|||
as I walk through the valley of my so called sin
i’m greeted by my paranoia and lack of common sense
everything is falling on me
it’s caving in
the world is ending Let the games begin.
i was hiding in the SHADOWS
from your daggers and spears
you sent them like an army
they won’t find me here
i’ll step out of my head
let the dark seep in
the world is ending let the games begin
i’ll overthink all of my choices
'till the very end
i’m always crippled by my name
and lack of self respect
yeah we’ll set this world ablaze
and we’ll watch it B U R N.
i’ve spent my time scorching...
baby, it’s your turn.
