Don’t be afraid
Go about your day
We come out while angels sleep
Yeah, we come out while angels sleep
Living in a world
where belief is demonized
while acting like the devil
And burning shit is idolized
Everything, it’s all the same
We elect, born from shame
Relieves us of our own demise
If we can pass the blame
Don’t be afraid
Go about your day
We come out while angels sleep
Yeah, we come out when angels sleep
Better poll the herd
So we know how to think
Swallow all their pills
No matter how fuckin big
So individual
That we’re just like the rest
Every little snowflake
But there’s no one to impress
Don’t you be afraid
Go about your day
We come out while angels sleep
Yeah, we come out when angels sleep
It took us way too long to finally see the light
I still don’t sleep too good in the silence
A combination of all our wrongs to make it right
Never one to bank on self-reliance
Time and time and time and time again
We got, we got turned around
Long before we were shown the way
We were, we were all but found
Way too long
Way too long to have finally spoken
Way too long
Way to long to become unbroken
It took us way to long to finally get things right
Why do we revel in the violence
So many unspoken whispers well into the night
Determined way beyond the trial runs
Time and time and time and time again
We got, we got turned around
Long before we were shown the way
We were, we were all but found
Way too long
Way too long to finally have spoken
Way too long
Way to long to become unbroken
We deserve to be unbroken
We deserve to be unbroken
We deserve to be unbroken
We deserve to be unbroken
Way too long
Way too long to finally have spoken
Way too long
Way to long to become unbroken
In the dark
No one ever told you
Be careful what you wish for
Nightmares do come true
Burn you down
For no reason at all
Build you up
Just to watch you fall
I guess nobody ever showed you
Then again, I guess you should have known
I have no sympathy for you
In truth, I have no empathy
This is me, the cold hard truth
It’s just the nature of the beast
Do you a favor, right
And lose this second skin
Thought I told ya
You never knew where to begin
Dark of heart
Anything but pure
I’m not the disease
I am the cure
I guess nobody ever showed you
Then again, I guess you should have known
I have no sympathy for you
It’s true, I have no empathy
This is me, the cold hard truth
It’s just the nature of the beast
I wonder, do you think of me at all
Fifteen orbits since we’ve really talked
Torn apart by outside forces
On the ashes of our love you walk
Sometimes forget that you exist
Tell myself that time will heal all
But broken hearts and promises persist
Time and time again we fall
Do you care about the heartache
Do you care about the pain
We’ve got unmade amends
Will ever we be again
Does the past predict our future
If so, there is no future here
What can be lost that you haven’t lost already
Your hatred drives me to tears
Do you care about the heartache
Do you care about the pain
We’ve got unmade amends
Will we ever be again
Will we ever love again
Will we ever see again
Will we ever live again
With these unmade amends
Do you care about the heartache
[Sometimes forget that you exist]
Do you care about the pain
[Tell myself that time will heal all]
We’ve got unmade amends
[But broken hearts and promises persist]
Will we ever be again
[Time and time again we fall]
I’m not asking you to care
Beg you not to pretend
If you care at all
Then we can make amends
Trust as seen through a child’s eyes
Mother, father, you can’t deny
Truths untold and stories sold
Sister, brother biding time
When we wake in this world of shame
Do we feel now or do we blame
Can we find out just who we are
When we fall down, why so far
Out of sight and out of mind
Gone from home now, why so blind
Day to day as time goes by
Swallowed up now by every lie
We are raised in this world of shame
Do we feel now or do we blame
Can we find out just who we are
When we fall down, why so far
Gone away, away from home
Feeling sad now and all alone
Can’t return now, I have to prove
All alone now, my final move
We are raised in this world of shame
Do we feel now or do we blame
Can we find out just who we are
When we fall down, why so far
If I’m being honest
Can I tell you how I feel
There’s an anger down inside me
You can’t believe is real
I don’t need somebody
To tell me how I feel
I will carry this forever,
These feelings are for real
Don’t overthink it, she said
Don’t overthink it, she said
You’re better off
when don’t live in your head
Don’t overthink it, she said
You’re better off
when don’t live in your head
Time to fly away, time to fly away
Away-ay-ay-oh
Take aim at me now,
Go ahead and do your worst
You’re better all around
How do I measure all my worth
I’ll tell you everything
That I ever said
Nah, forget it,
I just need you out my head
Cycle in, cycle out, she said
Cycle in, cycle out, she said
The mess,
The mess is trapped inside your head
The mess inside your head
The one that leaves you broken
The mess inside my head
The one that leaves me hopeless
The mess inside your head
The one that leaves you broken
The mess inside my head
The one that leaves me hopeless
I haven’t been myself in a while
So sorry if I can’t keep pace
Been a minute since I’ve had a good smile
Always feels like I’m losing the race
Imagine if you could for a second
Or if you would like to stay
I’ll share a secret with you
If you promise not to run away
Been so long
(Since I had the chance of being myself)
Mine all mine
(My will is no longer being withheld)
Dull the shine
(But from my life you’ve been expelled)
Everything’s fine
(Because I’m back to being MYSELF)
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
You can go straight to hell
If you wanna let me ramble for a minute
Then I cannot guarantee
many times it feels like I’m done
Life’s playing tricks on me
Imagine if I could for a life
Oh if I ran that way
I would share nothing with you
So please just go away
Been so long
(Since I had a chance at being myself)
Mine all mine
(My [spirit’s] no longer being withheld)
Dull the shine
(But from my life you’ve been expelled)
Everything’s fine
(Because I’m back to being myself)
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
You can go straight to hell
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
And no one else
Back to myself
You can go straight to hell
Absentmindedly
Turns the pages
Chapters of my life
Rearranging
Six feet down
In this Darkened hollow
Only place
Where it can’t follow
How did I get so low
When I wanted to stay high
Six feet down, yeah
The Only place I can hide
To give up
Or to be
The only choice
In front of me
Six feet down
Darkened hollow
Only place
Where it can’t follow
How did I get so low
When I wanted to stay high
Six feet down, yeah
The Only place I can hide
I don’t want to be let down
I don’t want to be found out
I don’t want to be shown the way
I don’t want to be thrown away
I don’t want to be kind
I don’t want to be cruel
I don’t want to define
I don’t want to be fooled
How did I get so low
When I want to stay high
Six feet down, yeah
The Only place I can hide
How did I get so low
When I want to stay high
Six feet down, yeah
The Only place I can hide
It’s vanity
A narcissistic tendency
That pulls me down in your abyss
Quite absently
With all the changing seasons
About old times we reminisce
Just like the whims of reason
An empty shell with only doubt
Progress means moving on now
As history repeats itself
A malady
Like a wound allowed to fester
Killing you from the inside out
A tragedy
All that’s left for now
Is a man who’s left without
Just like the whims of reason
An empty shell with only doubt
Progress means moving on now
As history repeats itself
Her majesty
So high and mighty
Could never do no wrong
Catastrophe
So long goodbye, my friend
I should have seen it all along
Just like the whims of reason
An empty shell with only doubt
Progress means moving on now
As history repeats itself
Reality
Once and for all
Time and time again
The audacity
Left standing on the brink of ruin
When will this ever end
Just like the whims of reason
An empty shell with only doubt
Progress means moving on now
As history repeats itself
Time does not fly
Insidiously slips away
Cannot rewind
Cannot get it back today
The angels sing in higher octaves now
You watch as you’re lowered into the ground
Make your peace with yourself and with your maker
And now seek the blessing of your crown
What really is the point
To live right now you say
As well as you can
Looking forward to the day
The angels sing in higher octaves now
You watch as you’re lowered into the ground
Make your peace with yourself and with your maker
And now seek the blessing of your crown
Categorically denied
What is truth, what is lie
The angels sing in higher octaves now
You watch as you’re lowered into the ground
Make your peace with yourself and with your maker
And now seek the blessing of your crown
I’m not always honest with myself
Sometimes [I want] to be somebody else
I’m weak, when I feel this way
Not your fault, I’m so far away
When I’ve lost my way
And I’m about to break
I need you to hold me
Help me find my way
My way home
Home
Home
Home
We need to work it out sometimes
Let you know I’m here for us this time
We’ll be fine, just as long as
We keep this fire burning bright
When I’ve lost my way
And I’m about to break
I need you to hold me
Help me find my way
When I’ve lost my way
And I’m about to break
I need you to hold me
Help me find my way
My way home
Home
Home
Home
Been alone a million times
These endless thoughts inside my mind
One by one, I hear them call,
As they’re scratching at my walls
But I’m always holding on
Until the dream in me is gone
All of them together now,
They will gladly watch me fall
I’m good in the moment
but when I take a step back
I am losing momentum
Close my eyes to see the black
The rain it comes and then it goes
To wash away the years
Memories are fading fast
All the laughter and the tears
But I’m trying to hold on
It seems the dream in me is gone
Trying to hold together now
Not to succumb to all my fears
I’m good in the moment
but when I take a step back
I am losing momentum
Close my eyes to see the black
Maybe tomorrow is no better than today
But I don’t want to die
Maybe I just need a little break
from this lonely lie
There is a broken light that shines on you
Why do I try so hard
This is a life that’s broken too
How did you fall so far
We are imperfect
This bitter light that shines on us
You act so perfect
This bitter life I’m giving up
Is it me who’s unsettled
Is it you who is corrupt
Is it me who always settles
Is it you who’s giving up
Feeling so unsettled
I feel so unsettled by you
Feeling so unsettled
By everything you do
Hear me out; you said that I am all alone
A consequence of all the things I’ve done
You wear me out
All the lies you push can’t be undone
You sold me out
I’m not something that you own
You never doubt
Hand down pardons from your throne
(From your throne)
Is it me who’s unsettled
Is it you who is corrupt
Is it me who always settles
Is it you who’s giving up
Feeling so unsettled
I feel so unsettled by you
Feeling so unsettled
By everything you do
When you realize you’re a taker, not a giver
When you find out that you’re screaming as I whisper
Will your will break, is it something to consider
Selling your soul out to the highest bidder
You see the gold in yours eyes, I see a shimmer
You get more shallow as your light is getting dimmer
I think you’re hollow, is it time you reconsider
Living your life with the lies you have delivered
Is it me who’s unsettled
Is it you who is corrupt
Is it me who always settles
Is it you who’s giving up
Feeling so unsettled
I feel unsettled by you
Feeling so unsettled
By everything you do
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
(I’m not okay, you’re not okay)
Is it selfish to feel like I want to live
Given so much not sure what I have left to give
Do I know this place, I can’t see or feel
Never thought I’d embrace to pretend
But here I am with you in front of me
Now that I see, I can see my end
My will is strong
Will I carry on
My will is gone
How can I carry on
Where I am is not where I was going
What I thought was not to me worth showing
I feel like I can do this on my own
But I never, no I never wanted, to leave you all alone
This thing inside, is it keeping me alive
How do we know that it’s not real
Until right now, never trade my life
But this thing is changing how I feel
Where I am is not where I was going
What you thought was not to me worth showing
I feel like I can do this on my own
But I never, no I never wanted, to leave you all alone
Where I am is not where I was going
What you thought was not to me worth showing
I feel I can do this on my own
But I never, no I never wanted, to leave you all alone
Is it selfish to feel like I want to live
Given so much not sure what I have left to give
Is it selfish to feel like I want to live
Given so much not sure what I have left to give
Devastated
Make me cry
Your insecurities
Created mine
All I wanted
Was to belong
Denied that
All along
Does it make you feel good
It’s almost always worse than you think
I’m not your absolution
Inside yourself you shrink
Time after time
You lashed out
You left me
With all this doubt
About myself
What could I do
All I want now
Take it out on you
Does it make you feel good
It’s almost always worse than you think
I’m not your absolution
Inside yourself you shrink
Introverted
By design
But you made me
Crawl deeper inside
Lonely, but
Never alone
You throw words
That I can’t control
I’m a feeling
Without a soul
And there’s no way
That I can let go
Why can’t you understand
can’t make me feel right
It’s not about me
It’s about this fight
Does it make you feel good
It’s almost always worse than you think
I’m not your absolution
Inside yourself you shrink
You wanna make me feel like I was nothing
Deep down inside you know I was
The only way that you can feel like I feel
To make you hurt inside just because
But I can’t do that
This could be it as that feeling sets in
There’s nothing I want to do
Nothing motivates me or sounds good anymore
I know that this will pass too
But how long will it last this time
This feeling is hard to describe
It’s like having everything but wanting nothing at all
Can’t think of any reason why I can’t have it all
Why I can’t have it all
Cause I don’t want it all
I can’t control emotions
It’s just the state that I’m in
Not like I’m living in sin
It’s just the state that I’m in
I can’t control emotions
It’s just the state I’m in
Not like I’m living in sin
It’s just the state that I’m in
Keep pretending that everything’s fine
Yeah, that’s what I’ll do
But when I look, I look around
Reminds me that I’ll pass too
A day, a week, a month, yeah maybe more
My life is looking to settle a score
Did I wrong you, did I wrong myself somehow
Something inside me
Screaming let me out now
Just let me out, now
Oh, let me out
I can’t control emotions
It’s just the state I’m in
Not like I’m living in sin
It’s just the state that I’m in
Inside looking out
A reflection of myself
What is this I’m looking at
Is this reality
Can only move so far
To the corners of my frame
Such little space
Is this all for me
(No it cannot be)
Reality is inside out
Reality is only doubt
Reality is killing me
Inside out is where I’ll always be …tonight
What world is this
It feels like fiction to me
Can’t it be this
Creating friction I can’t see (no I cannot see)
Outside looking in
No reflection of myself
What can’t I see
Is this reality
Can’t move at all
This frame has got too small
All out of space
This can’t be it for me (no it cannot be)
Reality is inside out
Reality is only doubt
Reality is killing me
Reality is leaving me (forever)
Inside out
Filled with doubt
Inside out
At peace with doubt
You pose for pictures and you smile
But are you ever really happy
You tell yourself you really try
But tell me now, how could that be
Why do you hide yourself away
something there that I can’t see
Tell yourself no other way
But tell me now, why must that be
Tell me now
Why’s it so damn hard to be truthful
I know somehow
I know that life could be beautiful
Tell me how
How to make the light shine through
Tell me anything
All I want is to help you
I want to trust your tears are real
But tell me now, how could I
When I know that you don’t feel
You tell yourself, another lie
Why do you put yourself away
something here that you won’t see
Tell me there’s another way
And tell me now, why can’t that be
Tell me now
Why’s it so damn hard to be truthful
I know somehow
I know that life could be beautiful
Tell me how
How to make the light shine through
Tell me anything
All I want is to help you-
Tell me now
Why’s it so damn hard to be truthful
I know somehow
I know that life could be beautiful
Tell me how
How to make the light shine through
Tell me anything
All I want is to help you
If you take all that I have
In your choice to drive me mad
Then I am left here standing
With my heart in my hand
Frustrate this all for you
But take it all away from me
Why am I still saving you
When I’m down on my knees
Justify your actions to save me from myself
Who is saving who
It’s so hard to find the edge but I keep running
Who’s saving me from you
Why am I sleepwalking
Through this dream state that I’m in
Feels just like disintegrating
My impression is
Relegated to this fate
Am I good enough for you
I’m hoping that your hate for me
Is enough to pull me through
Justify your actions to save me from myself
Who is saving who
It’s so hard to find the edge but I keep running
Who’s saving me from you
They say it’s a disorder
It’s just a matter of degree
Who is left to judge you
While you’re busy judging me
Oh, you’re busy judging me
But I keep running
Ooh, I keep running
I keep running
I keep running
It’s cathartic they say
To write these words down on the page
But to see them written now
Only seems to fuel the rage
It’s cathartic they say
To see your space all rearranged
But to feel this feeling now
Only makes me feel deranged
This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding (oh, yeah)
It’s pathetic they say
To forget and run away
When it all comes crashing down
There’s no choice or other way
It’s pathetic they say
To feel your mind just go astray
But to feel this feeling now
Only makes me feel deranged
This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding (oh, yeah)
This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding
Got my life here in this bag
Wind blowing colder
Hair gnarled, matted black
Rest my head on brick and mortar
You don’t know me at all
Only what you think you know
Every day you pass me by
I can’t do this all alone
I once lived a life like you
Afraid you’ll be like me
Open your eyes and see my truth
Destined to walk these streets
Oh a life like you
A life like you
In your tower looking down on me
You have it all and I have not
Only time can write the rest of our stories
Cut to life where all is lost
Out here looking for some change
You think I have my hand out
That’s not the change I’m looking for
How can I remove your doubt
I once lived a life like you
Afraid you’ll be like me
Open your eyes, see my truth
Destined to walk these streets
Oh a life like you
A life like you
A life like you
Ooooh
A life untrue, oh yeah
A life like you
Nash my teeth as I fall asleep
Can’t stand the way I feel
Find a way to put into words
Beaten down now that feels real
I’ve forced a smile for you
Not at all because I care
Your searchlight can’t find me (nooo)
But I’m standing right here
Never smile on the inside
I’m not okay
And you’re not listening
In our race to the bottom
I’m down and reaching up to you
And I’m begging you hear my plea
Made this choice to smile for you
You just pretend that I fear
Your searchlight can’t find me
But I’m standing right here
And you ask, would I die for you
Why the fuck would you care
Your searchlight can’t find me
But I’m standing right here
Ohhooo oh
What’s going on inside my head
What’s real now and what’s pretend
I can’t see inside my mind
So hard to tell, tell sometimes
Is it okay if I can’t feel
Am I okay because I can’t deal
With all of this that’s been going on
Inside me all along
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh-oh
Sometimes it hurts to see
Sometimes it’s always me
Sometimes I feel ashamed
Sometimes I’m to blame
I’m just feeling down (It’s fine, you can’t see through)
I don’t wear a crown (It’s fine, they all blame you)
I just wear this frown (It’s fine, the end is near)
And it brings me down (It’s fine, not welcome here)
Down sometimes
Down sometimes, yeah
Can you waive this magic wand
Another love that you might want
Can’t you make it disappear
Another life that’s all so clear
Is it okay if I can’t feel
Is it okay because I can’t deal
With all of this that’s been going on, yeah
Inside me all along
Sometimes I’m desperate
Sometimes I feel like shit
Sometimes I feel disturbed
Sometimes I feel unheard
I’m just feeling down (it’s fine, you can’t see through)
I don’t wear a crown (it’s fine, they all blame you)
I just wear a frown (it’s fine, the end is near)
And it keeps me down (it’s fine, not welcome here)
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
DOWN SOMETIMES
Down sometimes
Down sometimes, yeah
Down
You push my face to the ground and I can’t breathe
Rub dirt in my eyes, how could I see
Return me to the place where I can be
Left alone to drown in my own sea
In my own sea
Around me the water’s rising
The tide is shifting now
I can’t see, there’s no horizon
This soul is drifting down
Drifting down,
down, down, down
I feel a pull as this current takes me
Praying to something that it sets me free
Help me now and forever can’t see
Leave me alone, yeah leave me be
Can’t you see
Around me the water’s rising
The tide is shifting now
I can’t see, there’s no horizon
This soul is drifting down
Drifting down
down, down, down
I will hold my breath
As I find my way
I will hold my breath
As I find my way
I will hold my breath
As I find my waaaaaaaaay
This water swirls around me
This anchor drags me down
This life tries to drown me
Never see the horizon now
Treading water, but I want to stand
Firmly stand on dry land
Rise to the surface but it pulls me under
This storm, it’s like no other
No horizon
No horizon
No horizon
No horizon
Your mind’s made up
That much is clear
You will carry on
When I’m not here
Behind this wall
Built for myself
The inside crumbles
Shattered pieces fell
If a rising tide lifts all boats
Then why am I always sinking
These headwinds pushing me away
Always got me thinking
But somehow, oh somehow
Somehow, I’m always sinking
I’m always sinking
Handcuffed
Trapped in this life
Tried to run but
Somebody twist the knife
Inside this cage
I’ve built around me
Behind this wall
Of nothing’s plea
If a rising tide lifts all boats
Then why am I always sinking
These headwinds pushing me away
Got me thinking
But somehow, oh somehow
Somehow, I’m always sinking
I’m always sinking
No purity, no good intent
Decades gone on this descent
No purity, no peace of mind
Yet somehow I’m always trying
No purity, no good intent
Decades gone on this descent
No purity, no peace of mind
Yet somehow, I’m always trying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
