lyrics
I pull out the pin The intended misdirected I peel back my skin Shallow wounds become infected Jump to conclusions Bolster illusions And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am A lost soul at sea Eventually becomes dejected Will I always be Living in this form dissected? Bolster illusions Create confusion And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am And I’m not who you think I am I look up to the clouds I look into the sky The dissonance is too loud And the lights burn my eyes You can see me degrade By the cracks in my skin I’m starting to fade And come apart from within So don’t mind me So don’t mind me Lost in delusion

lyrics
Bring me inside your bubble Here I can hide A sterile place I can go With you I’m never alone A dull ache deep in my heart I feel it when we’re apart Metastasize to my brain A spreading love that we found in the rain This hospital love lifts me up high Make the incision deep and wide At the bitter end I’m whole again Let me breath you in my oxygen Keeping you close You’ve become the antidote to pain You live in my blood You flow within me as we become one This hospital love helps me survive (Keeps me alive) With you beside me I will thrive At the bitter end I’m whole again Let me breath you in my oxygen At the bitter end you make me whole again Let me breathe you in I need you all I need you all

lyrics
You know I'll always comply right to the letter The only straw I can grasp to feel better A regretter A trendsetter On the back of my eyelids is the message The directions that lead me to the wreckage Useless appendage I'm too invested And I count to 99 one hundred times Addicted to a life of confines Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? But aren’t we all? It's always blood sweat and tears just to break even I'm tired of giving a shit give me a reason It's open season It's coping season And I count to 99 one hundred times Addicted to a life of confines Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? Risk averse This is a curse Born in a hearse But aren't we all? Trogdor!!! BURN!

lyrics
The search to find something that's real Takes a lifetime of pain The thing you break your back to steal I naturally can gain Now it's time The moment's come to write this wrong Individuality is for the strong With your hands around my throat for far too long I wrest my dignity from you before it's gone What's at stake? Blood turns to gold Emotional states bought and sold The truth be told Will this unravel or unfold? You ingest I divest You infest I suppress What's at stake? Pushed down inside Smiling politely I replied "I'll be alright" A state of chaos ossified You digress Save your breath Architect Of disrespect You ingest I divest You infest I suppress You breed unrest I cannot digest You breed unrest I cannot digest Unrest Unrest Unrest Unrest The search to find a way to heal Disrupted by the reign You digress Save your breath Architect Of disrespect You ingest I divest You infest I suppress Yeah! What’s at stake? Move

lyrics
Yeah! Idle hands are the devil’s playthings All I have; a needle and thread And so I work ‘til I’m dead I work ‘til I’m dead I fucking work ‘til I’m dead I work ‘til I’m dead Prick your finger Kneel and pray To bleed just a little bit would be so divine Wouldn’t you say? I never know if I’ll be sober tomorrow I only know that I’ll stay sober today That little piece of me that I let you borrow You should have known that I could never give that away Work ‘til I’m dead Work ‘til I’m dead I fucking work ‘til I’m dead Work ‘til I’m dead Prick your finger Kneel and pray To bleed just a little bit would be so divine Wouldn’t you say? Sacred, pious; golden rules A guidebook to follow for empty minds and broken hearted fools Prick your finger Kneel and pray To bleed just a little bit would be so divine Wouldn’t you say? Idle hands are the devil’s playthings All I have; these thoughts in my head And so I work ‘til I’m dead I work ‘til I’m dead, dead, DEAD

lyrics
On and on I'm just pretending On and on I just pretend I'm fine tonight On and on it's never mending On and on this never ending plight Burns bright I watch you cover your eyes Faith never questioned isn't the answer Breaking me down inside like a cancer On and on I keep offending On and on never ascending Can't rewind On and on you go defending Litany so condescending Peace of mind Cover your eyes I can't believe I was so surprised Faith never questioned isn't the answer Breaking me down inside like a cancer Bleed me dry Say goodbye I took the long way home They warned me not to go I made it on my own I took the long way home I took the long way... Faith never questioned isn't the answer Breaking me down inside like a cancer Bleed me dry (bleed me dry) Say goodbye

lyrics
Breaking The Undertow Breaking The Undertow The beauty and terror of this life Cut through me like a knife Pull the stitches from my seams Enigmatic because it's worthless Anomalous in purpose A whisper and a scream The same old words Keep catching in my throat I strum a chord Sing them note by note Carry me to a sunny place Bury me under the waves The lie that is this desperate realm With bullshit at the helm Impossible to know With brazen false authority A truth you could never see Carried by the undertow The same old words Keep catching in my throat I strum a chord Sing them note by note Carry me to a sunny place Bury me under the waves Carry me to a sunny place Bury me under the waves Life unequivocally nullified Let's turn the tide I'll plant my feet here watch me grow I'm breaking the undertow! I will reap the seeds I’ve sown I'm breaking the undertow! I'll plant my feet here watch me grow I'm breaking the undertow! I will reap the seeds I’ve sown I'm breaking the undertow! Breaking the undertow! Breaking the undertow!

On A Tuesday 02:36
lyrics
On a Tuesday the same As a Wednesday afraid Only difference a name Doesn't mean anything As the weeks turn to months Never mind where you're from Doesn't mean anything Sunshine snowflakes or rain Pray for anchors aweigh Pray for anchors aweigh Pray for anchors aweigh On a Sunday the ides In the midst of the tides Nothing left here to say Distance keeps us away A generation is maimed Post-traumatic a shame Three years old can't explain Sorry son that's the way of the world And I pray Pray for anchors aweigh Pray for anchors aweigh Pray for anchors aweigh Pray for anchors aweigh
