I Might Be Dead

I might be dead
Waking up, prepare for another day. This one is different I swear I’ll be ok.
I’m not ok.
I might be dead but I’m still trying
Persevere in spite of my fears
Take me back to the life that I lived
Tell me what does happiness mean.
Emptiness has taken over me I’m lost and broken. I’m always incomplete. When will it let me go?
Empty has taken over me
I might be dead but I’m still trying
Persevere in spite of my fears
Take me back to the life that I lived
Tell me what does happiness mean.
I’ve been broken more than complete, all these pieces falling from me. Take me back to the love that I lived tell me what does happiness mean.
I used to be dead inside, but today I’ve never felt so alive.
Empty has taken over me, I’m lost and broken always incomplete.
But months and years have me turned around
I can finally breath again. I can breath again.
I’m fucking dying but I keep trying to claw my way back out of this fear, I’m still here.

Mistaken

You’ve got me mistaken for someone who cares
I’m not a pawn you play.
You’re just another mistake that I’ll forget it in time.
I am done.
You can call it karma for years of tongues in cheeks.
Making your promises, underneath the sheets.
There is nothing you can do to hold me back.
There is nothing you can say to make me stay.
I am done.
I am not a pawn you play.

Disaster

Disaster
A do or dire circumstance with every breath.
This tragedy of choice is that all that we have left.
Ask if I believe in change, while you hold the knife.
I should have known
to be open with
you means to be alone.
You’re such a fucking disaster
I won’t stand by
and let you tell me what I’m feeling on the inside.
Keep promising this emptiness away.
You couldn’t bury me fast enough
We’re both standing in this goddamn grave.
Keep promising this emptiness away.
Another cut
digging deeper
into my skin when
will it be enough.
No peace
No compassion
Not an ounce of consideration
I won’t stand by
I won’t let you kill me this time
I am alone
I won’t stand by
and let you tell me what I’m feeling on the inside.
Keep promising this emptiness away.
You couldn’t bury me fast enough
We’re both standing in this goddamn grave.
Keep promising this emptiness away.
I should have known
You’re such a fucking disaster
I won’t stand by
and let you kill me like the last time
Tear myself to shreds
This is what you wanted
I won’t stand by
I won’t stand by
You’re such a fucking disaster

Six Feet in Conversation
03:35
|

You want to call me a villain. You want to call me whatever you want.
I know the truth. You’re just too deaf to hear it.
My skin was glass, broken, burned into the sand.
I let you tear me down, cover me in pavement.
Six feet deep in conversation. I haven’t slept in days
It seems to me my eyes are blurred, I can’t see straight.
My words are slurred and I choke on everything
I’ve been trying to get out for weeks.
Stuck on the tip of my tongue. Building up,
I can feel it building up.
Lace these words with razorblades.
Tongue tied for the first time and theres things I’ll never say.
These words are laced with razorblades.
Ten years in the darkest cellar my minds a prison of abandoned hope.
I cannot think, I cannot sleep, I cannot breath but I still know how to choke.
You want to call me a villain? Point out the truth that you forgot.
You want to play the victim? You have NEVER been!
My skin was cracked, I’m broken. Cut down by the weight of your words.
You’ve taken everything you want (everything you want).
Tongue tied for the first time and theres things I’ll never say.
These words are laced with razorblades.
Are you ok with a change?
Lace these words with razorblades
Choke and dig them outta my throat
I can feel it building up (I can feel it building up).
Tongue tied for the first time and theres things I’ll never say.
These words are laced with razorblades.
My skin was glass
Broken burned into the sand
My skin was glass
Broken burned into the sand

Thank You

I never thought that you’d be listening
Every word I have wrote was just meant for me
I took the darkest times that I ever had
And tied them down to die in every line of these songs
Looks like I’m gonna make it
Now you’re all here with me
Screaming with a chorus of sound
Speaking, for the under spoken
Broken hearts with a home
Every road has led me to this moment
Burned into my heart cut into my skin
Every single choice and struggle
Has brought me here and you here with me.
I used to think that I was wasting all my time
With second chances blown out on every line
I found the love that I was looking for in you
They never thought that i could get here
That our voices would be louder than mine was on its own
I’ll never take your time for granted
My grave will be filled with all the love you have shown
We are not alone
Every road has led me to this moment
Burned into my heart cut into my skin
Every single choice and struggle
Has brought me here and you here with me.
I used to think that I was wasting all my time
With second chances blown out on every line
I found the love that I was looking for
I found the love that I was looking for in you
Looks like I’m gonna make it
Now you’re all here with me
Screaming with a chorus of sound
Speaking, for the under spoken
Broken hearts with a home

I’ve been here before
But nothing compares
To these thoughts I can’t ignore
This sleep is never enough
Been chasing these memories
For far too long
Not dead yet
I’m not dead yet
I’m not dead but I’m not quite awake
Torn between this skin and bone
Is this what it means
What it means to be alone
Torn between this skin and bone
Is this what it means
What it means to be alone
I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you
Too much time running from the truth isolated here with these thoughts of you
I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you
Never sure exactly what to do
Trying hard to close my eyes
Should I pray or let time tick by
Looking inward to find all the answers
I led you to water — but had to watch you sink
Torn between this skin and bone
Is this what it means to be alone
Wake up, I want to wake up - I’ll be on the way, I’ll be on my way
Been asleep for for too long, but it’s the pain that makes me feel stronger
I’ll fall into your dreams- if you promise to end my nightmare
I can’t scream
Bound to these thoughts that bring me to my knees
This sleep is never enough
I’ve got to Wake up
Wake up, I wanna wake up
I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
Been asleep for for too long, but it’s the pain that makes me feel stronger
I will fall into your dream — if you promise to end my nightmare
I can’t scream
Bound to these thoughts that bring me to my knees
This sleep is never enough
I’ve got to Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
I’ve gotta wake up
Wake up
I’ve gotta wake up
Wake up
I’ve gotta wake up
Wake up
Wake up, I want to wake up
I’ll be on the way, I’ll be on my way

Structures
I want to reach out again and touch my hand to the glass with your palm facing mine but you’re faded and cracked. Is there a way to rewind, a way to mend the breaks? To find some peace in myself before I’m lost in a wave
Of sound.
We’re all just structures built on weak cement. Some are made for the living and the the others for the dead. Fade out with the draft from the cracks in the walls. A siren song for the broken, and alone.
The muted whispers stain the paint on the walls and the space between t I’m as weak as the shift of the ground. And this house will collapse.
As I crumble, I look up to the skyline. Everything falls around me adding dust to the pile. I reach my hand out— brushing up to the glass. An outstretched palm catches my reflection one last time.
We’re all just structures
We are the hopeless and alone
I never felt so cold
Hopeless and alone
