Weary

Build your walls
And paint it black
The color of your heart
A broken picture frame
Without a name
A twisted mind with no decease
And I can’t do your biddings anymore
Out and under your skin
Everything seems nothing has changed
Reason I can’t go to sleep
Those voices have kept me awake
I won’t hesitate
To wash your blood down the drain
Leave me to recreate
The house you burned down
And I can’t do your bidding a anymore

Choking
03:02
|

|
Holding tight to my broken arms
Never mind the lasting pain
Sinking down through my bed sheets
Walking towards the house where I sleep
Hang me from your broken ceiling fan
Tie my hands so I can’t resist you
Caving I’m chocking
Those fucking lies
You won’t see through me
I’m a broken toy that falls to pieces
Hang me from your broken ceiling fan
Tie my hands so I can’t resist you
Caving I’m chocking

Take on me
My stupid hair and fucked up clothes I wear
Push me away
Breaking up my bones with your hands
Chain me down
With your hand in mine I know I’ll be just fine
So I can just stay
Breathe in breathe out
It will be okay I swear
Lie to yourself
Throw your shade all over your face
Breathe in breathe out
It will be okay I swear
Paint me, no color
It’s your shade that tarnishes your look
I’ve been sitting on your bed
With no color
You wrapped your shade around my chest and watched me cave the pain
Boxed me in your broken home
I’m your broken canvas you can’t see

Broken Bones

Say what you want
Cause you aren't listening
A sip of red wine
I tell them I miss you
So what did I do wrong
Is it the way I act
Or is it something worse I need to know
I hear their lies all in my head
That you want someone better
Am I a loose dollar that is tossed hand to hand
So say that I'm worth it
And don't try to lie
And I'll go back and try it again
I don't see you anymore but I know you're still here
Prescribe the medications
This therapy's not helping me
It makes things seem worse
Am I losing myself in this
Oh tell me will I be okay
Bury me in emptiness
It's your words that make these scars
I'm not taking it
You can't heal me
They're only broken bones
Lay in my bed and comfort me as I sink away
Remember they're only broken bones
Remember it's not the end, just wait

Stay Close

I’m upset
That you feel troubled when you’re alone
Too depressed
To show your face again
Feel regret
When you sit and die alone
No way out
From this fucked up house you call a home
When it comes you it tears you down
You keep running but I slow you down
No escape from the terror inside
Or should I shut up and let you hide
I’m free from you tonight
Feel my smile grow back
And my life is right again
Relive those times again
You should take some time to think for a sec
I’m the one who never gave up on me
Take my hand
And erase thoughts in your head
In the end
You’ll be here on your two feet
Leave behind
The place that kept you trapped
I’m free from you tonight
Feel my smile grow back
And my life is right again
Relive those times again
You should take some time to think for a sec
I’m the one who never gave up on me
So concentrate on what you want right here right now
Cause everything is not the same it’s not the same
Stay close to me and nothing bad will hurt you now
Seemingly nothing’s strange we’re both the same

Headache
04:31
|

|
It's cold and I can't breathe
Mother always said you'd never go
Erase my everything
Your voice has kept me silent
Dim my blinding light
Father always said you'd feel at home
Cause you're always fucking break my mind
I can't feel anymore
It's this headache breaking all my needs again
Losing focus, I can't breathe again
And everything seems fractured now
A shattered frame, my light begins to fade
Pacing slowly towards your thirst so pull me in
It's these promises I can't keep
So bury me cause I'm your puppet now
I can't feel anymore
It's this headache breaking all my needs again
Losing focus, I can't breathe again
And everything seems fractured now
A shattered frame, my light begins to fade
Pacing slowly towards your thirst so pull me in
Pull me in
Pacing slowly towards your thirst so pull me in
Pull me in

Roaches

I don't care where you came from
You can't hurt me with sticks and stones
Hide your face behind a mask
Try and ask yourself if it felt right
Did it feel right to let yourself get scared
From the bed you left undone
The foggy windows you breathe on
And I can hear you scream next door
I can't let you kill me
Empty out your lungs
So I can watch you choke
Running out of time
It's too late to keep me home
You're running out of time
It's too late to keep me home
Chain me up with doubts
But it's too late to keep me home

Affliction
03:41
|

|
Too hard to sleep
With all these voices in my head
And I'm not strong enough
To let you know my problems
And I know it's here
Fading in
Crawling all in my skin
Too late to tell me know
That it's okay
Cause I know it's not
So don't you lie to me
I'm not alright
Take my breath away
Suffocate my lungs
Paint me grey
It’s the color of my bedroom
A solemn home to put in flames
Burn it all to the ground
Leave my clothes
Leave my photos
Cause they’ll die first
And i’ll go too
It’s all a wreck
It’s such a mess
