Trainwreck
02:32
|
|||
I’m fed up
You’re getting
On my nerves
I can’t hold back
I’m about to burst
I hate when you bitch
About everything
Your antics
Drive me insane
You point the finger
Can’t accept the blame
Live your life
Under a blanket of shame
Your whole life
Is a giant mess
You’re bringing me
Nothing but distress
You are just a trainwreck
You are just a trainwreck
You are just a trainwreck
Now
I’ve had enough
Of your attitude
Did anyone tell you
You’re so rude?
You’ve never been
The one to be nice
Vindictive like the Anti-Christ
You always kick your feet
And scream
Like a little child
Without his ice cream
Your whole life is a giant wreck
Please stop breathing
Down my neck
You are just a trainwreck
You are just a trainwreck
You are just a trainwreck
Now
I’ve had your nonsense
On my mind
I don’t know really know
Where you find the time
To stir up drama
With everything
And try to turn
Everyone against me
I point my finger
Right at you
Cause I know best
That’s what you do
Your whole life
Is a giant mess
I’m steering clear
of your trainwreck

Bloodlust
03:53
|

Cradled by her
I found I was free
Basking in a sea
Of serenity
Ignite the fuse
Cause it’s time to lose
Walkin’ a mile in these shoes
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
My grip is fierce
Disguised in every tear
Smokescreens of loyalty
Are flooded with cheer
Glass shards of pride
Are slicing the night sky
Misrepresenting our freedom tonight
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
Looking out my window
My eyes are open
And I can finally see
Exquisite beauty
I wish you hell
In your darkest hour
To falter like a delicate flower
Take a beating
Cause it’s time to bruise
Or till you bleed
Red, black and blue
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened
Daylight killin’
Guts are spilling
Filled to the brim
Bloodlust sickened

Fly
04:30
|
|||
The sea is shining
Under a pink moon
The last breath of winter
Will come soon
Opening my eyes
Counting stars
Truth I can confide
With you by my side
Caught in the midst
Of a foggy haze
Basking in the warm
Of these sunny days
Opening my eyes
Counting stars
Truth I can confide
With you by my side
The lights dim
It’s total bliss
Standing on a precipice
Spread your wings
Now butterfly
You’ve got all
You need to fly
The lights dim
It’s total bliss
Standing on a precipice
Spread your wings
Now butterfly
You’ve got all
You need to fly
An endless ocean
Bleeds into the sky
A lonely fisher
Stands casting his line
Opening my eyes
Counting stars tonight
Truth I can confide
With you by my side
The lights dim
It’s total bliss
Standing on a precipice
Spread your wings
Now butterfly
You’ve got all
You need to fly
The lights dim
It’s total bliss
Standing on a precipice
Spread your wings
Now butterfly
You’ve got all
You need to fly

Forever Haunted
03:36
|
|||
In the darkest corners
Of my mind
Lurk haunting memories
To find
A way to unfold
Into now
These feelings
I will disavow
They take a grip
On over me
And stir up this anxiety
Shards of glass
Swimming in my eyes
A small voice
Echoes in my mind
Forever haunted
More than afraid
These words that are spoken
What do I say?
Forever haunted
More than the same
These words that are spoken
Come asphyxiate
Some memories
Play on repeat
They will infect
Your memory
I am an airplane down
I storm and crash
Without a sound
When my silence
Begins to scream
I feel it gripping over me
Caught in the twisting
Of the vine
My twisted thoughts
Consume my mind
Forever haunted
More than afraid
These words that are spoken
What do I say?
Forever haunted
More than the same
These words that are spoken
Come asphyxiate
If I could do it all again
I’d do it all the same
I’d throw it all away
Because I can
If I could do it all again
I’d do it all the same
I’d throw it all away
Because I can
I’ll try to make this
Crystal clear
So transparent
It disappears
I’ll hang on
Every single word
These memories are
But a blur
My shoulders filling
With the weight
These feelings
Will disintegrate
Left in the dustbin
Of my life
Forever haunted
In my mind
Forever haunted
More than afraid
These words that are spoken
What do I say?
Forever haunted
More than the same
These words that are spoken
Come asphyxiate

Perfect Phantasy
04:04
|
|||
If you could
Only read my mind
You would know
It all too well
All the anger
That I hide
And all the things
I tend to dwell
If you’d only
Take the time
Ask me how
I tend to feel
You’d find
I’m a hateful guy
That doesn’t wish you well
Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy
If you could only
Hear my voice
Or the words
I have to say
I don’t think you’d
Be too thrilled
When the words
Are so profane
If you could only
See my eyes
Or the window
To my soul
Would it suggest
I’m human
Or a belligerent ghoul?
Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy
If you could only understand
Then you’d know
I have been to hell
Wearing two horns
On my head
Grumbling until I yell
If you’d only
take the time
Ask me how I tend to feel
You’d find I’m a decent guy
Standing at the gates of hell
Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy
