My lungs are thin, my head's caved in I am your dying wish, the angel's kiss This is the end of my work, The end of the earth. These are the things you can't see Re-written in Binary.

Sideswipe 04:11
I've been trying to live with this empty worn skin I feel a longing inside me I don't wanna be empty I feel their fingers below me Gripping at my ankles I've been submerged in darkness no compass to the surface BRING ME BACK I WANNA BREATHE AGAIN BRING ME BACK I WANNA LIVE AGAIN Two daggers crawl around my head One turned toward my heart The other guides my hand I'm guided from the outside Against myself my hands are tied I'll close my eyes, leave it behind Try to make a desert out of my mind. I need clarity or it'll be the death of me I hold this life within my finger tips The time is ticking as the fingers are slipping I'll hold my hand back from what it's thinking I'm not strong enough to win I've been waiting so long for this life to begin But before you even know it, before you can even see it ITS ALL OVER my life is gone right before my youth Ripped out of my head like a dying tooth These bones removed right from their roots I'm no good they probably said to you You hear their words as undying truth They never shook my hand but they'll lie to you This body, this brain, this family, my worth I tried to turn my back but it hurts I want to be the end of pain I need to drown the earth in flames I wanna push you to the very edge, Your life will never be the same again STEP OVER THE LEDGE All of your dreams laid out before you Let them go before the devil takes you Reach out your hand before paranoia destroys you and leaves you empty I don't wanna be alone in the darkness Why does it feel like I'm constantly a target? Ill subject myself to judgement But not from someone who doesn't know me I'm sick of being told who I am I live this life I am my own man ...But this darkness guides my hand I'm not strong enough to win.

Skull 02:59
I'll close my eyes, hope for the best As my focus Pursues the sharp pain in my chest. This song stems from my skull The fragmented remains of what went wrong The movie replays a thousand times Can't get through I'm stepping on land mines. The explosions represent when conversation went wrong The wrong word was said It's gone it can't be changed Get out of my head This skull is my sanctuary A place I can think where nobody can hear me Protected by bones and brain, Scenarios run the outcomes the same I've lived in this head for too long Thinking of the places I've been Thinking if ways to get by where I can do no wrong Every day is a living hell inside my hideaway, My happiness has become my prey I don't know if I'm in here alone I don't know if I'm safe or being followed I'm just getting in my own way Because that's what I was born to do I'm so angry with myself Every night I lose the part of the day that made me happy to be where I am with the people who love me I'm jaded, fed up, pissed off, frustrated Snubbed by my over thinking skull I wanna smash my head into a pulp I don't wanna think of this anymore I thought the bone would protect me Nothing can stop me I'm the archetype of what you can't be.

I'm trying to wake up from nightmares I've never seen I'll take sentiments payed just to wipe my dirty conscience clean Every day it's wake, sleep, repeat and my thoughts feel so off beat I'm moving slowly beneath sleep's warming embrace and razor sharp teeth I'll sleep deeply tonight knowing my day got up and passed me by I just regret not saying goodbye to my responsible life I can't spare any time So I'll take from yours, replenish my eyes, I'll sleep forever more I live the same days twice only remembering my simple nights Days go by without a trace, I wait through my own inevitable mistakes Every moment is a passing phase Weeks go by where I sit in my waste Each second that passes My time's been misplaced *Just another day, guess I'll feel unstable With the weight of my hate crushing down on my ankles. Guess it had to come to this, the life that I missed, Solely unaccomplished. Nothing, no one, no shoulder to fall on, Living with my eyes shut Mouth open, catching flies a day dies before my eyes the sunlight passes, no goals accomplished, I feel no fulfillment that I was promised My ability to fail is flawless The night makes me think, Its bricks hit the hardest. My eyes are open a sign that I'm hoping My eyes wont burn when the sunlight ropes me today will be the day fresh air stops choking when my feet hit the ground I won't feel the unrelenting, Pressure mounted against me. Waiting to see if I make my day complete. If I stall any longer, then why even bother? my fire for the day is already smothered I don't want to sit in wait, I don't want to wait for something great. All the barriers I set equate to another day spent in a motionless state I know I can do better than this.

Numbers 01:10

Waking up in the empty of the night, voice in my throat screams 'what happened to my light?' I'm alone and the room is quiet, all of my failures scream out into the silence *What do you think you're doing with your life? frustration, conversations ending all in strife I'm at a disagreement with myself, thoughts pushing me deeper into hell *Can't you be happy for once in your life you pathetic piece of shit? Get a grip man, your mind's slipping, you're losing it *Every little lie you tell yourself, at the end of the day, you're still on a shelf. I've got fire and hate in my eyes burning up the sight of who I despise The light is absent as the room comes crashing down I'm waiting for that sweet release of sound So say goodbye to the man that you once knew I'm not holding back from what I have to do to you My soul's alive and its leaving this body to burn you Your poisoned eyes can't see through mine, your open mouth makes up for absent mind, at least that's what you've been trying to tell me, out of your mind is this thought, you are my enemy. My dirty hands want to grasp your beating heart Just listen closely, you've been doomed from the start I won't believe it. Plague in my mind, a day it takes to defeat it.

Cerberus 02:50
The devil is alive, the devil is inside of me. I'm sick of living life doing what I ought to be I'm cleansed in the red water of the dead My head is pounding now it's open I held this bastard to his word, He said he'd thin out the herd Take these people off the world, such a task he's overwhelmed I'm a living crisis, Hands held out of vices Actions pre-disposed by my own devices the plague is a living virus I've been acting so absurd, No day goes by without a word, I'd lose control over my life over my dead body I'd leave these bones to be rusting Now I'm stuck forever in night turn me over, I want to breathe the light I don't want to be this way for life I turned myself over, got rid of the right at what cost does it come to me? these nerves don't feel, anything but empty The devil is alive and he's made his home inside these bones It's the price I pay but I've made my money, I've sold my soul. I made a living selling hunks of this heart of gold, I don't know what I've become but I know that I feel alone Not a lesson learned in life Nothing is written Served in black and white
