I’ve got these echoes scenes passing by in my dreams echoes of things aren’t what they might seem with all these echoes echoes echoes whispering let go let go let go this haunting ground I walk alone in with shattered glass across the flooring it’s not enough when I say goodbye it’s not enough when she says she lied it’s not enough to know the truth cause it stings and it burns when everything’s turning and it sucks and it cuts deep without warning I cannot wake to this every morning so drop me off around the next corner now I know what I never knew before now I know better than to come knocking on your door I’m knocked out is it true this was never really love and you knew before I gave it up you slew my last innocent dove guess it’s true you never loved yeah I never loved you I never loved I will never love I’ve got the visions of strings fraying at the seams visions of things aren’t what they might seem with all the visions visions visions screaming give in give in give in this cemetery cold and lonely until my grave is filled and holy it gets better when you don’t try it gets better only after you die it gets better now I’ve said goodbye cause it stings and it burns your heart’s still sober and it sucks when you cut and the ice water’s colder now I know what I should have known before now I know better on my linoleum floor I bleed out

When I think back to when I was very young I never thought that I would be so blessed But now my darkness rises now it comes I feel it burn a hole right through my chest There is nothing brand new under the sun I wonder why I even bothered waking up There is nothing for me here There never will be Alone Forever I remain Everything will stay the same Without me Without a home Without a name Upon this earth I bear my shame Oh the guilt Crushing me

Love will never conquer As long as shame stands in the way My love goes out to those Who are cut deep and bleeding out What hopelessness brought you there The same as mine I fear Lost searching for a purpose Filled endlessly with care Never to be returned If only kindness could exist Without the fear of failure If only it would rain And wash away the pain That love will never conquer As long as shame stands in the way The death of a father The rejection of a lover I’m crying out for a savior That I won’t die in vain A tender heart thrown and shattered Like a monster slain Beaten, torn and battered Never to feel the same My heart bleeds for you My heart a blackened blue It is sad but it is true I believe it’s safe to say That love will never conquer As long as shame stands in the way

You threw me that lifeline But all I can remember Are all of my mistakes With these words of love With these hands of hate All I can think of is what can I create Something special for the lovers Something angry for the hateful Anything but this handful Of empty promises And broken tokens of All my failures to come And they will come With the rising tide With the setting sun They come And I must choose What am I to do With all this pain All on my own Alone You gave me so much time But for all my attempts to take I left everything to waste I spoke hateful words In love my hands I worked And I Slipped away I let my crisis spin me In a mighty whirlwind down Down And I Was stripped of all I held dear And now I am a beggar for your ear To hear my cry All I wish Is to be What we knew I could always be Someone to love you and hold you near Someone to shut out all the fear To keep that light lit and burning brightly To fill your desires and keep the nightmares at bay Out of sight and out mind All I need is a little more time Just a little more Give me a little bit more time Time Take me back Please bring me home For all that I still lack Please just bring me home

I would set the earth ablaze for you I would see the flowers bloom for you From animosity to ocean view I would set a fire to burn down the world For you To free you from the pain this life brings To free you from the coldest winter’s sting To see you breathe in the fresh air of spring To hear your beautiful voice once more sing

Passing through the winter in the wild Casting down the stars with a bird trap smile Laughing as they fall Frightened by the silence in a bathroom stall Lying in the face of the sinner That’s twenty minutes you'll never get back Take me back With your voice The last sound I'm longing to hear Bring me back Surround me with fear Bring me back Have your way With my bones Take me home

Some people go And never break a bone Live their whole lives safe and sound Some people know But never sell their soul Dead inside, they never make a sound Some people show Their trees how tall they grow But I see their fallen leaves upon the ground Nothing is ever as it seems We break apart at the seams when the pain this world brings comes crashing down around Like fallen leaves, we were dead before our feet ever even hit the ground Running won’t save us now, it’s too late to figure out how to remain safe and sound

Sitting with the sun and the shadows Oh how they grow with the light and fade into the night I am dying by the hour I can feel my waning power In my flesh in my bones My tomb has become my home I just need you to see The world through my tainted eyes I just don’t want you to be Too surprised at what you find When you look at the world through my enlightened eyes I am staring into the deep blue sky I’ll be standing among the stars tonight I am pointed straight towards the sun Until the end of the day since it had begun I sit and smoke and think of my lost love Oh how it makes feel so damn lonesome And I think of the girl I am holding on to I’m holding out for you babe in hopes that one day our love will bloom Oh baby don’t you dare ever leave me Oh baby don’t you go where I can’t be Oh baby please don’t ever leave me Oh baby please don’t go where I cannot be I am dying by the hour I am staring into the deep blue sky I am dying by the hour I’ll be standing among the stars tonight I am dying without your light Come let me see the world through your blue green eyes Baby come float away with me Baby come waste away with me Come and stare into the deep blue sky Sitting with the sun and the shadows Come stand among the stars with me tonight Hand in hand together let our love grow Don’t let me go don’t let me die Tonight is our night Tonight

With bloodshot eyes I walk the road The road I walk so dead and cold With every step I lose control Fears and thoughts I no longer hold In my blood stained hands I sold my soul For just one more night to walk alone Just one more street then I’ll be home To fill my brain with chemicals I will never learn to hold my own The seeds of despair are so deeply sown Within my skin, my flesh and bones I will never feel fully alone As long as I keep my habits close Up and up and away, away I know why I'm down and out for the count I feel like I am drowning now I know I can’t keep going about The ways I've been going about My life I lead is far from safe and sound I need a brand new way figure things out I need to feel my feet on the ground I know I need a brand new way to live Please someone show me how

There is something just beneath the skin Just waiting to begin To pick up all the broken pieces And put them back together again Let it out Let it take control Let it fix our fractured world Light that match and let it burn Until it flickers, fountains, and fades And then do it again And again Hope There is always hope As long as there is a fire burning somewhere in this darkness We have hope

The sole becoming The soul unraveling I feel like I like to think About your lovely eyes About your yellow dress Those blue green eyes Pressed against your chest I feel I need to sink Into your bones Into your flesh Inside your home Make me one with your skin Layers so thin You don’t even oddly know I do not want this I did not want this

Every kind of flavor Blends and fades This bitter taste Is all that remains Sour metal The devil comes late Lonely tears Caught on tape No apologies No focus Let the noise be your god It's not what you feel it's how you breathe The young mistress climbs to her feet Her lonely screams will set you free Crying and crawling I fall over myself Looking forward to Bright and dark and blue Nothing picks me up Nothing can touch The way you make me The way I maybe want you to It's been two years too long I know your testing our fortitude But I won’t carry this No, I won’t carry this alone Give it all or give it up Level-headed, I'm left for dead It's been so long since I held your arm But this won't pass In the blink of an eye From the sky rains burning pages Fail to hide all that’s bruised Bloodstained purple sheets Pulled up to her throat All these cuts Were never meant to exist All the hope In her ashen hair Crumbles with the sickness Of human behavior Bottleneck Relentless The pressure of existence After flesh is rotting in a grave

Life is just a fable Told through the trails of mayflies Turning the tables Turning towards light that shies Swing until the sunlight Drips like blood from vampire teeth Sing songs so bright Slips from your lips Lying through your teeth Where the horizon and god meet Where you will find me At twilight until midnight Speaking underneath starlight Gazing with my blazing eyelids Hazy shades of blue and grays in midsummer nights Middle of the vision shifter The gift of power The shift of sands To lift up our empty hands Filthy open palms pointed straight towards the sun Dirty bare feet standing firmly on the earth we so desperately desire to make holy All over It was all just a show For all of the late night party goers Date night, hardly dare to show up After all you put me through You think I would do this for you Baby eyes, baby cries Maybe, as time flies by, next time you won’t lie I hold a grudge against I paint a yellow fence black Cry rivers over anthills Dancing around the working mill Prancing through daisies Praying to fairies To grant me three wishes Humanity, sanity, and missed chances All those ugly glances Cut deep like sharp lances Knife blade grinding Life made mindlessly Minding my own business Finding nothing Mark my words Mark it on your calendars The end of days is nigh But we won’t go down without a fight Although I doubt we’ll outlast the night

When I reached the top I just couldn’t move I sat down I let out I don’t know how I feel So strong and strung out All at once The earth moved The rivers swam to a southern groove The trees swayed The rocks danced All the while my mind was in a trance I fell on my back and started to cry I don’t know why I couldn’t stop laughing Here in a hollow meadow Haunted by a silent stream If only my dreams could wake me Could replace me with something big enough to break free If only my size could save me No more freezing bleeding skin No more choking silent screams Before the sun sets Before the shadows close in There's no feeling in being too pitiful to break free There is no feeling in me I'm wide awake There is nothing left to take Nothing I can break into Nothing to save me from this fear that keeps me In control of an empty room Down in this hole that I dug myself into I don’t want help I need truth I need space from you From your conflicting views From you

Listen to me I am not your friend Come the final end We shall see who is left standing Listen to me I am not your lover Run for cover The storm is raging The waves are breaking The castles are coming crashing down In the ocean the kings and queens will drown Come the final end We shall see who is still standing Listen to me All is over Torn asunder Grand halls of wonder Great walls falling Angels calling Demons crawling Creeping inside of your skin Seeping through the layers so thin Let them in To begin The final end Listen to me It’s coming to an end

Those blue green eyes, so soft and so bright So eager to return to the sea Those rose pink lips touched my ear Whispers so light, so sweet, my eyes shut My heart turned yellow and green The sun burns too slow to bring you home The stars escape the sunset's glow Your words still ring inside my head I open my mouth to let them out but keep them safe inside my head I breathe in smoke I wish time might choke I watch the moon rise from the ocean floor I see colors in the sky that were never there before Those blue green eyes, so soft and so bright Bring my body crashing to the floor A pile of ash, a stain on the floor A prayer for sameness I pray every night I pray to god that age might die That you might stay the same as you were before When you return from the ocean shore

Babies crying Dogs barking I stare at the stars to set me free They glare from afar straight back at me Fans cheering Sirens screaming I take a walk in the park to find some peace All I find are fallen leaves amongst the frozen trees Choirs singing Children laughing I am lost forever deep within this maze Someone please take me away from this dark place Angels crying Jesus dying I found hope but it is so far from here So far from all that I hold dear Stalkers creeping Daughters weeping Was he too early or is he too late Are we unholy or is this our fate The final end It begins again No matter where it ends We will pay for our sins
