Love Sick

You are right, this night will leave me cold
My errors erase while this plot unfolds
You know all these vices were made to hold
The substance is in control
When it’s love sick I will be sick

Cut Loose

Can’t understand the beast inside me
His claws are out, he’s ready for a night on the town
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
Tapped to his vein he was born this way
He’s on a different level now he’s dancing with the devil
When his beating heart lays awake
It’s my own mind that’s racing
Those drugs will always get the best of me
He’s testing fate to find out what he can take
He will take everything
I am watching through the cage I left him in
I’m expecting nothing good from him
I am watching through the cage I left him in
Not expecting he’d disappear like smoke in the wind
Is it better to stay strong when you were wrong?
Is it better that he is gone when you’ve known all along?
‘Cause unclear opinions stand for indecisions
You might as well run and hide
When his beating heart lays awake
It’s my own mind that’s racing
Those drugs will always get the best of me
He’s testing fate to find out what he can take
He will take everything
Am I the one who set him loose?
I wish I knew what I know now
That moderation is not my hanging noose
I wish I knew what I know now
Instead of figuring it out I got caught staring in the clouds
It feels so incredible and I’ve come to terms
With the addict within himself
I wish I knew what I know now
Many faces to look upon
The show must go on

I’m feeling wasted
It’s 4 o’clock I can’t stop and sleep
I’m living with the dirty secrets you told me
This day is yours, you’re in it son
Drive the car and hide the gun
It’s going to take more then a white lie to commit this crime
Falling to pieces before it’s my turn
Am I missing any details or leaving any trails to burn?
Oh no, they’ve found the spot
It’s where I hid the evidence
Fear crawls beneath my skin
My body’s shaking with every word that is said to me
All the voices in my head are deafening
I’m sweating bullets through the barrel shouting out my name
And the crosshairs are burning through me
Cunning and mischief are barely tools at all
I’m running out of useful ways to bide my time
My time is running out
I’d rather die then waste my life
I won’t be taken a prisoner tonight
If I haven’t made mistakes
There should be nothing left to fake
I’ll seal my fate, the choice that I make
When consequences weigh so heavy
Eyes up, too late, foot off of the brake
Now don’t look back, they’re gone, merge on the interstate
I am the outlaw
I am the problem
Direct me to the end of the road
My tank is running low
Please make it to the exit point
Silent peace is waiting for me on the other side
I’m digesting the moments that brought me here
Careful choices, I’ll never make it out of the woods
Looking over my cold shoulder
Makes me wonder if I ever could

A textbook suspicion
Here are the tampered records
They’re telling inconsistent fantasies
These people are bullshit
Malicious and ambitious caregivers forming so many ploys
They are not the saviors
They bite off and chew till there’s nothing more
Consuming weaknesses straight to their rotten fucking core
Satisfied on the inside
Instead of feeling the weight of the guilt
They just simply bask in its filth
Mountains couldn’t stand in the way of getting attention they need
Mountains couldn’t stand in the way of reaching for their peak
They’re missing all the essential pieces from the human condition
Their strongest of habits create the cycle
A never-ending broken record stuck on repeat
Loosen this grip on me
I’ll draw first blood it’s easy
You know the price they pay
When they feed off sympathy
Afraid and weary to tread amongst the dead

Covering the tracks on this trail
Leaving no clues left behind
Questioning the direction I’m in
What can I fucking do to change this time
When failure’s not an option?
Making this first move, it will be short and terse
I inherit that gift; it was my father’s curse
I’ll be the first one in line receiving death’s sweet kiss
When sinking to the bottom is easier with concrete fists
This weight is the only thing that can bring me down
I’ve watched the village burn right to the ground
Give me a chance or use me for parts
‘Cause lately my suspicions are leaving
And I don’t know where to start
Please, can you help me?
I can’t continue like this
I would do anything to turn this around
I might be broken to pieces
But with these shards of glass
I’ll cut you out just to rid the diseases
I’ll cut you out, just give me a reason

Walking into frame
I’m always occupied with logic and questioning
Like, what is the real reason we feel the need to linger
On things that don’t concern our nature
We treat ourselves as victims;
Compare ourselves to others
There will be no funerals
Go from confessions to coffins
Looking from the outside in, the plates are always set
The smiling family is feasting
This goddamn jealousy, it lingers in my heart
It’s creeping its way up, tearing me apart
All I wanted was to be the model son
Now, time slip away
When I’d rather drink the bottle until it’s done
There will be no funerals
Go from confessions to coffins
There’s a difference between you and I
Getting yourself caught up in the lie
Stay in your own lane and don’t get involved
Don’t pretend you’ve been through it all
There’s a difference between you and I
We don’t exactly see eye to eye
When none of it fucking matters

My head is haunted with the ghost of you
But I can’t give it a home
There’s nothing left for me to let you do
You cleaned the meat from my bones
Now there's a hole in my heart the size of a bottle
And I’m filling the void
I’ve been following this breadcrumb trail
Searching for a lost cause
Locked jaw, lost ‘cause I’ve been led astray
I dragged my body over so many hills
And all I brought back was the dirt underneath my fingernails
Along the way, I found myself
But I lost my mind
One day you’ll hear my voice vibrating through the streetlights
With a chill down your back but a warmth in your chest
Stinging through each short, cold breath
You’ll hear the words that I said when I knew you the best
Screaming, “Sometimes you’re braver then the rest”
To have heart is a frame of mind
With your eyes to the ground and your head in the clouds
And cold air on your arms
I hope you'll think of me the way I think of you
And it’ll keep you safe from harm
To have heart is a frame of mind

Death is the Only Truth

I am wide-awake
I can never sleep at night
Remembering the faces that still haunt my sight
So I’m looking in reflective pools; I see nothing
Ready to move; get past the gate
Bury the old ways
Check the pulse of the bleeding saint
No longer breathing
The water keeps on rushing
It leaves salt in the wake
This path is leading us to an end
Your guilty following eyes
They’re much more then I can take
Living before the battery dies
Stranded
Anything to feel that touch
Honestly, you can poison me
I know you will give me everything
You know it’s what I wanted
It seems to me it’s what I’ll get
When those steady hands grab my collared neck
They are unbearably cold
Turns out the bridges you burn
Just light the road back home
I'm tired of starting fires
But nothing else can keep me warm, baby
Turns out the witches you burn
Are the ghosts that haunt your home
I'm tired of starting fires
Need something else to keep me warm
The water keeps on rushing
It leaves salt in the wake
This path is leading us to an end
Your guilty following eyes
They’re much more then I can take
Living before the battery dies
Stranded

Desperate

Once, I got a novel
It was gifted from a desperate man
He lost sight on what was real
Preaching words, teach me how to feel
Buried below
Everyone’s faithless
And if you can agree
If God’s listening he must know
In spite of everything we still sow
We’re desperate, is that so wrong?
We’re desperate
We’d burn it down using gasoline as a tool
Doing anything that we want
It’s a shame you’ve forgotten the fuel
We’re desperate, is that so wrong?
We’re desperate
I’ve got nothing left
Hiding behind my tattered white flags
I’ve got nothing left
Can’t you see I would do anything?
My eyes are open wide
‘Cause desperation leaves me blind

I hear those voices
This is not a simple circumstance
Feel the eyes glaring
Fixed on the forsaken son
Standing at the alter
They wont stop staring
Does your grim religion
Bring on new reasons
That help incite the fearful
All on the word of an old book?
Does it induce visions
And force decisions
In spite of how you feel?
We’re all scared inside
Feeling the needle dig around
Next time you pressure me
I’ll bury your hope in the ground
Drown all your sorrows
Death to the morals
‘Cause we are the faithless ones
Does your cause reveal meaning
Behind the words you’ll preach to your masses?
“It’s for your own good”
That’s what you said to me
Control these voices in my head
Save me

I’ve seen so many broken clocks
That time’s a thief when living is not
When this city sleeps I will dine alone
Unlike the sheep casting the first stone
Into the sea, into the unknown
Taking that leap from the spot it was thrown
It’s making an impact from this height
The faster it falls moving a way from the light
I can’t quite come to terms with
All of the wasted time I spent
Worrying about how I was used
Now with a little perspective
I’m taking back what’s mine
Now with a little perspective
I’m walking along the fine line
You knew what you did giving out that loan
My mother, she wept when she hung up the phone
They stole it from you saying nothing’s my own
Keeping secrets from me
It was easy to see, the clues were all there
Unknown to them were the burdens he bares
Finding some peace in the thoughts and the prayers
Giving everything to do what they said
I’m still holding on to the bullshit I was fed
Moving past the pain that was holding me back
Moving past the pain, the pain I can’t erase
Burn the bright lights; my guilty conscious at the curb
I’m infected with the fever
It had to be this way
I’m infected with the fever
Sickening

Via Dolorosa

I captured the perfect picture; it will always be on display
Commemorating a time when you said it would be okay
The morning sunrise glow against my face
As the horizon is washed away
To shed this weight those walls barricading must be torn down
It’s crystal clear
When I am broken, truly broken
Do I cease to exist at this time and place with my conscious state of mind?
Life, death, love
“I was ripped from my reality
And transported through a portal
Into another dimension
Transcending time and space
Filled with sublime impossibilities
I was one with the universe
I was everything and nothing
And I left who I was behind
Then, I came to realize what actually happened
I experienced death
And she was immaculate”
We’re children playing our games that we cannot win
Can you adjust so anxiety won’t strangle you in the dark?
When the night is darkest you were right
We use candlelight to illuminate the pages
So we may write the wrongs from the rights
When these simple sorrows are the ones that are never told
Through each struggle we will struggle
When these simple sorrows are the ones that are never told
With each other we become another
Life, death, love
