It’s never been changing
everything that surrounds me
and I try to develop
but can’t find the courage
you jumped in the rapids
and look at what happened
they’ve torn you and split you
and left you with nothing
it’s slowly been fading
what led me to be here
but once a light’s broken
you can only replace it
I was starting to love this
but now feel so frightened
I hate how I’m acting
won’t someone please save me
I’m too scared to talk to
those that might help me
so I suffer and suffer
then take it out on you
we embraced in loving
then argued in hatred
now I’m stuck here waiting
while you grasp another
Yea I used to love you
but now I feel angry
I hate how I’m acting
won’t someone please save me?
I’ve tried trusting and hoping
but only been misguided
those that you worship
will stab you, betray you
One look at my footing
you’ll see what I slipped in
I may have already
been pushed in my coffin
I used to trust you
but now feel so lonely
I hate how I’m acting
won’t someone please save me

Living is hard
it’s a hard life
but goddamit I don’t want to die
everything is ruined
before it even starts
Sometimes I say just screw it
I’m just a rotten part
a gear that can’t turn
or spin inside its place
is not worth the metal
that makes up its plates
A hole that hides its shadows
underneath all of its dirt
rises with the fossils
that never got unearthed
the scenery does it for me
as the sun gets replaced
cause people grow like fire
on a forest that can’t escape
Living is hard
it’s a hard life
but goddamit I don’t want to die

Death

Death is not peaceful
it’s sudden and painful
you’re up doing nothing
and hear the news coming
the tears they start flowing
and you just start running away
Yea the pain is so natural
you gain it from everyone
they go at your habits
and try to grab at it
and when you’re no longer
a resource that’s useful
they shun you and hate you
so you just keep running away
Life is so fucking stupid
It destroys all of your spirit
it tears you until it
leaves you malfunctioned
so many things you can’t do
and you think you can end it
but people will miss you
so you just keep running away
Chorus:
Why can’t these feelings just disappear?
I'm running away
why can’t my emotions just go to another place? It's cause I'm
Love is not lasting
and is bitter in tasting
you give them your world too
more than you thought you could do
they show you their praises
but hide their fucking faces
when they show their true colors
about how they love another
you can no longer face them
so you just keep running away
dreams are just fleeting
you pursue them in bleeding
People claim they support you
but never show up to
the expectations they’ve givin
while you’re barely livin
so they all try to blame you
for the things that you pursue
so you give up in hatred
and just keep running away

Verse 1:
Dreams don’t come true
They just fade in the ether
I guess just like you
And long breezes of winter
Age crude unlike wine
It all comes with time
Aspirations they die
I know, I can’t stand this either
Chorus:
I sit here and think
About what I never did
and say to myself
God you're a stupid kid
Verse 2:
You don’t grow up
Just because you get older
So much in my way
It’s like punching through boulders
Moonlit streets in my view
I guess it’s just the truth
I couldn’t help myself
How the hell could I help you?
Chorus 2:
I sit here and think
About what we never did
Opportunities passed
God I’m a stupid kid
I hear words so kind
like from the mouth of divine
I have no confidence
I’m such an idiot
My arms don’t feel you round
And words just can’t come out
Don’t know what it’s all about
But I can’t hear you now

I was
right there
screamed out
as the walls fell
you were
ignored
all words couldn’t
travel through their ears
so we
tumbled
down the stairs
we fell and fell
until
we hit
the bottom
we’re under the earth now
chorus:
(falsetto ooooing)
Verse 2:
I was
right there
screamed out
as the water rose
you were
standing still
or swimming
I couldn’t really tell
my lungs
ran out
of its breath
as I screeched out your name
(chorus)
