White Noise 03:16
Disenchanted and disillusioned Vague stares turned into confusion I never thought that you would be On the other side of my premonition And on that day I want you to ask yourself “When I hit the bottom, will I even make a sound?” Please set me free All I wanted was the sweet release Frozen for years, paralyzed with fear Please forgive my apathy Through my trial and tribulation All I wanted was liberation You pushed me miles away At the first sight of my photo-degradation I can’t believe I let a ghost decide my ending I can’t believe I let a let ghost control my destiny You meant more than the sun and stars Now you’re just an illusion A goddamn apparition Please let me go I can’t believe, I can’t believe Every day I sink a bit faster Growing more older, starting all over Another year on the back burner Is starting to become too much Enough is enough I can’t believe

Swan Song 04:14
The time has come for you To finally know the truth I’ve held inside Before I fade away, there’s one thing left to say These are my final words to you And now it begins! The story of regret and anger Are you listening? I gave everything to be here Now it’s gone This isn’t what it seems I live my life in the best way that I could accept it So take advice from me, there is a lot to see When you’re looking from the outside in Move on? Let go? What a sick and twisted point of view Not even for a second was this something I expected I’m ready to go on and sing my swan song This isn’t what it seems I live my life in the best way that I could accept it So take advice from me, there is a lot to see When you’re looking from the outside in So take advice from me There is a lot to see When you’re looking from the outside When you’re looking from the outside in One light, one soul I’m building fires just to escape the cold One light, one soul I’ll lead the pack when I am thrown to the wolves

Free me from the confines of my mind I need a sign The consequences, circumstances That surround your life has left me blind I feel haunted Paranoia strangles me And there’s no one else to blame Dead eyed and indifferent What have you done to me? I am awakened Your black cloud follows me Berate me with words from where you are Another momentary lapse of judgement When you push too far And I never gave a thought You asked for a single drop of blood And the next thing that I knew I was an empty vessel Cursed by your hereditary failures Have I been awake for days Or have I been asleep for years? The same disease it flows inside me, sadly You were a parasite Who took ‘til there was nothing left to give Bitter emptiness, this is who we are What’s left alive still burns on the inside (This is not a song of resentment, this is finally closure. And when every day is a death sentence, we have to band together stronger than ever before) Berate me with words from where you are Another momentary lapse of judgement When you push too far And I never gave a thought You asked for a single drop of blood And the next thing that I knew I was an empty vessel for you I was an empty vessel for you...

As I close my eyes I felt the water wash over me As the rivers rise I let go of my angst with ease On the horizon there’s a brand new life for me Just leave me be Just let me breathe in peace My gloom casts a shadow over me When will the pressure begin to recede? In my head, I’m already dead Pushed ahead, cast aside Holding my breath Rotting from the inside Just say I got lost along the way I don’t have the strength to face today Lace up loose ends Or just cut my fucking loss? Bury me in a nameless grave I came from god, the world to save Tell me all the things down around the bend I’m tearing out the page and starting again Using the path I paved When every day is a struggle Using the path I paved

I woke up today On the wrong side of the bed is what they’ll say But I spent two years on the floor Lost sight of what I’m searching for I understand It takes much more now to be a man Wasted every moment grieving There’s more to life than living I will remain captive to my thoughts Tried to bury all of the memories But the ink won’t cover scars And on the days when I look back It’s like an anchor around my heart We tried to throw away our complacent ways To only go back to the start We loved cloudy days And when it rained in the summertime I won’t change this warped state of mind That’s fine because it rains here all the time Staring at the ceiling I’m hanging by a thread I catch your scent as you turn away And my eyes roll back into my head Forcing myself Coping with a brand new process Forcing myself There’s got to be a better way than this. We loved cloudy days And when it rained in the summertime I won’t change this warped state of mind That’s fine because it rains here all the time This is the ending you all wanted Now watch as I choke myself to death Pull the plug to relieve any doubt If there’s a god, I’ll tell him how you suffered Let me fade away from this world.

Elegy 03:40
Fade in, fade out One foot inside the grave For all the times that I thought this over There’s no face left to save Waiting, hoping there’s someone here like me On the bright side, all my dark has finally turned to gray. Call my name, it’s not too late How could I think while hearing the voice in my head? I’ll find my way to be the person who I am or who I used to be Forget me Please forgive me for all that I’ve done Just let go The past has led me to grow I thought I held you in my arms Fade in, fade out It all starts to decay On the bright side, all my dark has fully turned to gray Call my name, it’s not too late How could I think while hearing the voice in my head? I’ll find my way to be the person who I am or who I used to be This is the only way You stopped everything just to watch me Burn Everything fades away The more you love, the more you lose..
