Every word
That you said to me
Every moment
That I spent with you
All of them
Were gifts of deception
Wrapped in smiles
And cellophane
Your lies slowly grew
So more you choose to produce
Eventually all we knew of you
Was what you had created
The person that we knew
Was nothing but a hand knitted costume
How could you abuse our trust?
We gave you everything
Why did you do this?
Fuck, you are heartless!
Let the fire burn out
Let the ice melt
Let your lies swallow you whole

The black and white keys aren't falling into place
And everything just feels so plain
I don’t know what to do
Nor do I know what to say
But I just cant stand this numbing pain
My body couldn't endure it this strong
Now my thoughts and my feelings they are gone
I will find them somewhere else
I can picture myself going into hiding
Deep inside
The doors are locked and the lights are out
No ones home
Nobody is home
I'll do anything I can
To pull them out
An overload of emotion
And now I cant feel
Anything
The aftermath of eruption is
Desolation
An overload of emotion
And now I cant feel
Anything
The aftermath of eruption is
Desolation
My ears hear
What they want to hear
My eyes see what they must
But you my dear
Oh no, oh no you were nothing
That I imagined

Flashing lights are blinding me
Though the heat is comforting
The noise is slowly destroying you
Though my thoughts are what is killing me
Speeding cars
Stop us from crossing, crossing this road
We will not wait any longer
So we will run
With our eyes closed
We are in this together
And we fail as one
The fire
The sign
The morning left behind
The ashes in the air
You will breathe them in
The road
The shore
Somewhere like before
The ashes in the air
You will breathe them in
The fire
The sign
The ashes in the air
You will breathe them in
The road
The shore
The ashes in the air
You will breathe them in
We are in this together
And we fail as
ONE!!!
We fail together as one
We fail together
We fail together as one
We fail together

The lights fade from my eyes
As the sun that only I can see falls
Behind the ocean
The waves pulse with steady rhythm that mirror
The beating of my heart
Pushing and pulling
The waves breathe
They speak
They want me with them
Now!
And all the while
The ship on the horizon
Stares straight through me
As if it know who I am
And what I have done
It seems unconcerned with the waves
Crashing around it
Its anchor is sin
The sails move only towards
My own self loathing
The wind whispers in my ears
And reminds me of a life
That could not have been
My ship has come for me and
Who am I to
Deny it right?
I sail onto the ocean floor and I open
My eyes
Water passes into my lungs
And I know that I am drowning
The cold stabs in my chest
Again and again
My anchor is sin
And drags me to the bottom
Of the ocean

Burden

The past is untouchable
The present a burden
And the future is unknown
Its black, its dark,
Its cold
They're a space in the thoughts of one
The feeling of being unsure
Not knowing to play on
Or forfeit now
And give up
Over the mountain will you climb.
Blank your mind
Forget about all else
Don't look back
Though the baggage you hold is large
Other belief will push you on
Don’t give up on everything
You've worked towards all your life
Don’t give up on everyone
Who loves you
Don’t give up on all your dreams
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t walk towards the light
Its a disguise
Under it lies
The Darkest of lives
