wake in a sweat again another day's been laid to waste in my disgrace stuck in my head again feels like i'll never leave this place there's no escape i'm my own worst enemy
i've given up i'm sick of living is there nothing you can say take this all away i'm suffocating tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
i don't know what to take thought i was focused but i'm scared i'm not prepared i hyperventilate looking for help somehow somewhere and you don't care put me out of my misery
Leave Out All The Rest
i dreamed i was missing you were so scared but no one would listen cause no one else cared after my dreaming i woke with this fear what am i leaving when i'm done here so if you're asking me i want you to know
when my time comes forget the wrong that i've done help me leave behind some reasons to be missed don't resent me and when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory leave out all the rest leave out all the rest
don't be afraid i've taken my beating i've shared what i made i'm strong on the surface not all the way through i've never been perfect but neither have you so if you're asking me i want you to know
forgetting / all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself i can't be who you are
Bleed It Out
here we go for the hundredth time hand grenade pins in every line throw 'em up and let something shine going out of my fuckin mind filthy mouth / no excuse find a new place to hang this noose string me up from atop these roofs knot it tight so i won't get loose truth is / you can stop and stare bled myself out and no one cares dug the trench out / laid down there with a shovel up out of reach somewhere yeah / someone pour it in make it a dirt dance floor again say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in i bleed it out digging deeper just to throw it away just to throw it away i bleed it out
i bleed it out / go / stop the show choppy words and a sloppy flow shotgun opera / lock and load cock it back and then watch it go mama help me / i've been cursed death is rolling in every verse candy paint on his brand new hearse can't contain him / he knows he works fuck this hurts / i won't lie / doesn't matter how hard i try half the words don't mean a thing and i know i won't be satisfied so why try ignoring him make it a dirt dance floor again say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in
i open up these scars i'll make you face this i pull myself apart i'll make you face this i open up these scars i'll make you face this now
Shadow of the Day
i close both locks below the window i close both blinds and turn away sometimes solutions aren't so simple sometimes goodbye's the only way
and the sun will set for you the sun will set for you and the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey and the sun will set for you
in cards and flowers on your window your friends all plead for you to stay sometimes beginnings aren't so simple sometimes goodbye's the only way
and the shadow after day will embrace the world in grey and the sun will set for you
What I've Done
in this farewell there's no blood there's no alibi cause i've drawn regret from the truth of a thousand lies
so let mercy come and wash away
what i've done i'll face myself to cross out what i've become erase myself and let go of what i've done
put to rest what you thought of me while i've cleaned this slate with the hands of uncertainty
for what i've done i start again and whatever pain may come today this ends i'm forgiving what i've done
Hands Held High
turn my mic up louder i got to say something lightweights step it aside when we come in feel it in your chest / the syllables get pumping people on the street they panic and start running words on loose leaf sheet complete coming i jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping healing the blind i promise to let the sun in sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping fuck that / i wanna see some fists pumping risk something / take back what's yours say something that you know they might attack you for cause i'm sick of being treated like i have before like it's stupid standing for what i'm standing for like this war's really just a different brand of war like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor like they understand you in the back of the jet / when you can't put gas in your tank / and these fuckers are laughing their way to the bank / cashing the check asking you to have compassion / have respect for a leader so nervous in an obvious way stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day in their living room laughing like what did he say
in my living room watching / i am not laughing / cause when it gets tense i know what might happen the world is cold / the bold men make action have to react or get blown into fractions ten years old / it's something to see / another kid my age drug under a jeep taken and bound / and found later under a tree i wonder if he had thought the next one could be me do you see / the soldiers / they're out today they brush the dust from bulletproof vests away it's ironic / at times like this you pray but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday there's bombs on the busses / bikes / roads inside your market / your shops / your clothes / my dad he's got a lot of fear i know but enough pride inside not to let that show my brother had a book he would hold with pride a little red cover with a broken spine on the back / he hand wrote a quote inside: 'when the rich wage war it's the poor who die' and meanwhile / the leader just talks away stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay the rest of the world watching at the end of the day both scared and angry like what did he say with hands held high into a sky so blue as the ocean opens up to swallow you
No More Sorrow
are you lost / in your lies do you tell yourself i don't realize your campaign's a disguise replaced freedom with fear / you trade money for lives i'm aware of what you've done
no / no more sorrow i've paid for your mistakes your / time is borrowed your time has come to be replaced
i see pain / i see need i see liars and thieves abuse power with greed i had hope / i believed but i'm beginning to think that i've been deceived you will pay for what you've done
thieves and hypocrites
no / no more sorrow i've paid for your mistakes your / time is borrowed your time has come to be replaced your time has come to be erased
Valentine's Day
my insides all turned to ash / so slow and blew away as i collapsed / so cold a black wind took them away / from sight and held the darkness over day / that night
and the clouds above move closer looking so dissatisfied but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
i used to be my own protection / but not now cause my path had lost direction / somehow a black wind took you away / from sight and held the darkness over day / that night
and the clouds above move closer looking so dissatisfied and the ground below grew colder as they put you down inside but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
so now you're gone and i was wrong i never knew what it was like to be alone on a valentine's day
In Between
let me apologize to begin with let me apologize for what i'm about to say but trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed and somehow i got caught up in between
let me apologize to begin with let me apologize for what i'm about to say but trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed and somehow i got caught up in between
between my pride and my promise between my lies and how the truth gets in the way the things i want to say to you get lost before they come the only thing that's worse than one is none
let me apologize to begin with let me apologize for what i'm about to say but trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed and somehow i got caught up in between
and i cannot explain to you in anything i say or do or plan fear is not afraid of you but guilt's a language you can understand i cannot explain to you in anything i say or do but hope the actions speak the words they can
for my pride and my promise for my lies and how the truth gets in the way the things i want to say to you get lost before they come the only thing that's worse than one is none
In Pieces
telling me to go but hands beg me to stay your lips say that you love your eyes say that you hate
there's truth in your lies doubt in your faith what you build you lay to waste there's truth in your lies doubt in your faith all i've got's what you didn't take
so i / i wont be the one be the one to leave this in pieces and you / you will be alone alone with all your secrets your regrets don't lie
you promise me the sky then toss me like a stone you wrap me in your arms and chill me to the bone
there's truth in your lies and doubt in your faith what you build you lay to waste there's truth in your lies and doubt in your faith all i've got's what you didn't take
so i / i wont be the one be the one to leave this in pieces and you / you will be alone alone with all your secrets your regrets don't lie
The Little Things Give You Away
water grey through the windows up the stairs chilling rain like an ocean everywhere
don't want to reach for me do you i mean nothing to you the little things give you away and now there will be no mistaking the levees are breaking
all you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you and six feet / underwater i do
hope decays generations disappear washed away as a nation simply stares
all you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you and six feet / underwater i do all you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you and six feet / underground now i do
