Shallow 02:37
Rejection is a warm bed so this is as comfortable as I'd like to get. My skin would crawl my teeth would itch gods tears so shallow I couldn't even drown. Was it so hard to speak your mind? Or maybe you felt empty like the cigarettes you threw to the floor? I wish I could have thrown myself out and hit the floor to feel my teeth hit my skull like the final nail to my death bed Plot twist I couldn't resist, the killer in you was always me. Insane I'm so ashamed to gave you the time, to set you free We're not cut from the same cloth so in truth we'll clean up what we adore in our own sick ways. A forked tongue, ripped from gods lung. No more lies, die without disguise So strip my pride, I can't hide no identity no longer disguised I can't lie, I've been lying to myself to keep you here to keep you near So strip my pride I can't hide no identity no longer disguise. Tell me how you stay alive, tell me how you heal the wounds that you hide I'm not like you on the inside

Deaf Waltz 01:39
I've waited and waited and waited to feel satisfied and for some it comes easy but for me It'll come when I die We're meant to hold, we're meant to bend and break but have to let go To let go Just space to help you breathe, whilst dead on my knees, praying for my sins I know I can't win. How could I be so careless? To pick the lock to my own distress No longer by my side so far stray you watched love die We've become an age a symphony played, make our heartbeats weaken to the waltz that fades We’re meant to hold, we're meant to bend and break but have to let go How could I be so careless? To pick the lock to my own distress

This is my disguise this ain't a phase, tonight I'm an open book ripped of pages. An open wound, left to age Watch me work the room, centre stage, impending doom. The spotlight melts my eyes, less I see just clearer skies I'm what you've come to see Imitations up my sleeve and I'm good so good I almost believed Detached from the hip, there's beauty in separation & loss. These words like knives cut deeper, deeper than the scars I've crossed. "I'm fine" my famous last words behind my lies I guess In truth I had this coming. Destroying what I built, I do it in my sleep Rest your head Lay still Lay still If there is a god that is judging me constantly. If there is a god who will punish me endlessly. Stage fright no doubt in my mind I'm what you've come to see Dig deeper, deeper into the earth This is my last trick for what it's worth

You stripped my flesh with a knife, bled my pride dry when you turned out the lights. My bed is cold and empty I don't be long the maggots have crawled into my skin and can eat my eyes so I don't have to see most of the time. Lonelier than God I'm just weaving my words to help them rhyme. I'm not the cure you're looking for just the disease to fill your needs Live, regret, accept, I have nothing to prove Transparent and soluble I'm sorry I'm just far from solvable Live, regret, accept I have nothing to prove Bury me in loves grave Built on emptiness and fate. Bury me in loves grave.

Escher 02:05
Sometimes you need that crutch, when pulling teeth isn't enough Sometimes you need that crutch, gods lonely touch So frustrated I can't feel the same. So isolated I'm not so far from the insane Always waning, tired of communicating. Theres comfort expiring over and over again and again These walls have been acting pastor for my own private hell. I know you're sick and tired pulling me from my shell. I was just so desperate to break, just to make another mistake Walking these steps to nowhere like an Escher painting I am in decline Dear friends that I hardly knew Not that I ever tried or even had a clue You brought out the worst in me And you brought out the worst in you Dear friends this is the end of everything Dear friends this is the end of everything If anything you weren't anything
