ABSENCE
I haven't left the house in days
Sometimes I haven't moved at all
I don't remember the last words I spoke
At least the ones that mattered to anyone
Even if I don't know what it's like
I try to see it from every side
I won't do anything to hurt you
At least that wasn't my intent at the time
The blood is draining from my face
Dark circles around my eyes
My mind cannot think clearly
I feel cold even in the sunshine
The darkness has an absence (repeat)
I can see all of the time
I don't have those memories
Everyone speaks of about old times
I never did anything apart from
share tragedies with my own sublime
I haven't felt like myself in years
I tried to escape her for such a long time
Now I don't know where I am
Maybe one day I'll be happy being out of my mind

DARK PICTURES
Faces haunting me...
Just more memories I need to forget
Words taunting me...
Haven't learnt to quieten down their echoes just yet
Dark pictures is all I see
There's shades of grey in everything
Nothing is clear and yet it all is
I bury myself in the pits of nothingness
Dark pictures paint over my canvas
Only feel something in the absence
Only feel comfort in the absence
Scenes play out like a movie...
I can't turn off the channels...
Try to change the hands on the clock...
but time gets only scrambled...
Repeats play over and over...
Even I'm getting bored now...
Shut myself off into the stillness...
Where only my shadow can speak aloud...

Fighting To Die

FIGHTING TO DIE
Can you keep up the fight?
When you know that you'll always lose
These battles, they've made their wars
and there's no side I want to choose
All that's left is what I keep inside
The voices never quieten down
In trying to remove pieces of myself
Did I lose the parts that I was?
Can you ever learn to hide?
If it's from all of the things you have to see?
I forced myself to close my eyes
Now, I always feel them looking back at me
All that's here is what I can't feel
I'm watching from the back of a shut down theatre
In trying to remove pieces of who I am
Did I lose the will to act out my part?
Can you keep up the fight?

Forces Of Life

FORCES OF LIFE
Forces of life, they push you down the wrong roads
Try to hold onto what is meaningful
All those empty spaces creep in
The plans you had settled in your mind
Are dismantled years down the line
Can you even remember why you made them?
If you can, then that's a start...
to gaining back the innocence you felt
Before this world broke your heart
Times of death, they drag you down inside
To those places, you never really left behind
That were just hidden in disguise
The things you swore you would never do
Have they now started to look like you?
Can you only learn once it's something you've been through?
If you can't understand from the start
Is this the point to the journey
That only leads to a broken heart?
In birth, is it more scary to think of
What you may go through or never experienced
Before it's all over and it's always over too soon
(Never soon enough for you)
Do things you dream, correspond with reality?
Are they separated of really the same thing?
Maybe all that matters is how they seem?
If the scars can't be prevented from the start
Are you still able to create a place
to fix your broken heart?

JANE DOE
Can you hear the words I whispered?
They're just fragments from the past
Where evil haunted all of my dreams
Until it became alive
They're drawing white chalk around my body
Attaching tags onto my toes
The coroner can't identify me
Now my name is Jane Doe
Can you feel the pain I experienced?
At just the thought of what I've seen
Or did my blood get in your ears?
While you were cutting me?
Are there signs of the snakes hissing?
As they stared me coldly down
I wrapped new skins around myself
Until they all wore out
I'm silent like a morgue...

LEFT BEHIND
Some thoughts are best forgotten, if you can
The reaper is the only one who wants to hold my hand
I need to take a picture to prove that I'm still here
Or will it just show how much I have disappeared?
Memories are all you that you can leave behind
...I don't want to remember
Everything else passes by
This sadness, it goes on forever
One day, will I be free of this nightmare?
Or can you only dream when you're asleep?
Every thought spills a drop of blood
Too many pile up in time
I feel my wrists splitting apart
from every cut into my mind
There's no place that the hurting doesn't last
What doesn't catch up with you
Will return you to the past

Life Is Poison

LIFE IS POISON
Sleep, maybe rest is all that can come
After another long day
Thoughts, they never seem to lose the energy
To keep me awake
Memories, have all of the good ones been taken away?
Or was there never any in the first place?
Life, it is poison until you grow immune
but some of us never do
Words, they can tell you many things
How do you know which ones are true?
Pain, sometimes it's all you know
It comes out in everything you are
Escape, when you need to the most
You never seem to get very far
Connect only with the distance
Too close, it just feels bizarre
You would let someone into your cage
If you could only reach through the bars
Time, are you making the most of each moment?
Or did yesterday pass too soon?
Maybe tomorrow will look a little better
Knowing it will exist without you?

Nothing Left Or Right
03:10

NOTHING LEFT OR RIGHT
I've been ripped in every place
No, I don't like the taste
of blood upon my tongue
or in my hands
I've seen such dark roads
I don't think there is an end
If hell is what lasts forever
I think that is where I am
I love everyone I have
I've lost everyone I love
I hate everything that's left
How it's all separated
I feel everything that's wrong
I don't know what is right
I know that I feel too much
I wish I didn't give a ****
The truth is that everything lies
but I would rather die
then suffocate in my mask
Like the joker on laughing gas
I sense something so bad
It never likes to leave my side
The pain, it never goes
It just continues to grow...

RETALIATION GAMES
I'm trying not bite through
the words you want me to digest
Have you got a mouth guard
because my teeth are hurting
If I can't let these thoughts out,
I can't show much of anything else either
You want me to divide my feelings
As if they're not connected to each other
I don't want to play these retaliation games
but sometimes you need to see
that the medicine you make me taste
has no healing properties (repeat)
You want me to just focus on
your good sides
but how can I see them when you always
follow up something nice, with lies?
I have to take a few steps back
any time I go to speak
If I can't let these thoughts out
then all I do is think bad things

Sour Grapes

SOUR GRAPES
It never ends up being tears of joy they leave
me crying
I break my back while they break my heart
I told the truth while they kept lying.
You can't tell a story without a plot
Something can't exist if it has already not
Already not
Promises made always end up feeling so empty
and you can't develop the photos
Even though you're kept in the dark
You can't find something sweet with a bitter taste
All my life I've been eating sour grapes
Sour grapes (repeat)

Sting Me

STING ME
The cloud's are coming over dark
I've never felt so apart
(from myself now)
Fragments of my mind depart
I've been dead from the start
(That's all I am now)
You know I love the pain (sarcasm)
Don't ever take it away
Never let me forget a thing
If I shut down
Sting me
Every sting it burns...into the depths of my soul
Until it grows cold...until it grows cold
If pain is all you know...
How much will it take to hurt you
Until it grows old?
The forest's have overgrown
I've never felt so alone
(Inside myself now)
I'm clinging on to my last thread
I want you to chop it
(So I can let go now)

THE JOKE IS ALWAYS ON YOU
You can't look through the window
If there's mist on the glass
You can't tell what the time is
If it's always dark
You can't chase the shadows
Without the sun to light the way
You can't hear your own thoughts
When your other voices are talking over them
You can't take no pictures
If the lens are broken
You can't feel the cold
With a high temperature
You don't have to think about
What's been forgotten
You can't fix the vase
That arrives in pieces
You can't carry a torch
For those who drain your battery
You can't learn to swim
Inside of sinking mud
You can't laugh
When the joke's always on you
You can't remove the skin
Until it's ready to be pulled off

The Pieces That Are Left

THE PIECES THAT ARE LEFT
What's left of me now?
I've forgotten how
To return to me
Do you see the pieces?
Or are they lost?
Is it worth the cost?
It's going to take
To find them?
I've been so ill
Can you tell?
It's just as well
Now will you take me
seriously?
Do I have to bleed?
Just to prove that I'm hurting?
What else has gone away?
I still remember yesterday...
The past always returns to me
I won't pick up the pieces...
That can't be put back in place
How much must I pay?
What's it going to take
To lose them?
I take these pills, to keep me well
I can't stop, although I want to
but nothing else
helps me get through
the pain like the way
you do

Yin and Yang

YIN OR YANG
Can good exist without bad?
I've not known of happiness while feeling this sad
Can love exist without hate?
I've only been a good catch when I've been the bait
Can black exist without white?
I only see the colours when they're making me blind
Can the future exist without the past?
They make you try to forget the only thing that lasts
Can right exist without wrong?
When your perception of both is based on?
Can life exist without death?
The rope I climb is getting tight around my neck
Can truth exist without a lie?
Never knew a torture without having to smile
Can up exist without down?
Can I miss myself if I'm never around?
