Days Misspent

A walking collection of broken bones
Dying to leave these hostile homes
Still burnt black from trust unknown
Ill equipped to be alone
A heart once open filled with stone
Keeping distance on her own
Hiding in her weathered tomes
An aftermath of chances blown
Pain etched into permanence
Kinder words we never meant
Overriding common sense
Written without reverence
Scarred up by abandonment
Pining over days misspent
Breaking where i should have bent
Holding out for heaven sent.
Meeting on a winter walk
Using up the time we bought
All our lives we never fought
Watching as the fire caught.
Paralyzed, too scared to talk
Mulling over who we're not
Weary of the ticking clock
Hoping that it never stops.
She'll pretend she cares, and I'll pretend I don't.
Lying for the greater good but we'll always know.
Living in the past but it's come and gone.
Lying through our teeth, pretending nothing's wrong.
A heart once open filled with stone
Keeping distance on her own
Hiding in her weathered tomes
Aftermath of chances blown
Scarred up by abandonment
Pining over days misspent
Breaking where I should have bent
Holding out for heaven sent.
We've done more harm than good
We would have fixed it by now if we could
"It's never too late", that's what I thought
I didn't see we only had one shot.
Bust it
Cant fix the past, cant change the present,
Better let it go, better not regret it,
Cant fix the past, cant change the present,
If it wants to die, just fucking let it

Mob Mentality
03:11
|
|

Placed in their hands, the message-twisted
Striking with fists, implicit visions
Respecting the lie, we keep our distance
What a plague to be so privileged
Never to speak, only to listen
The downtrodden soon become gifted
Burning bridges, ever divisive
Blinding us to prejudice
Built on foundations of our sins, unforgiven
Aiming for freedom, we narrowly miss
Fatal flaws of false identity
It's never seemed so simple
(To push for peace of mind)
To find serenity
Absent of incidence
Burdened with the consequence (the consequence)
It makes no difference
who's guilty or who's innocent
Pride over consciousness (consciousness)
Preemptive self-defence (self-defence)
Crime in my bloodstream
No chance, I won't relent
As this mob mentality takes hold
Someone will suffer
Fatal flaws of false identity
It's never seemed so simple
(To push for peace of mind)
To find serenity
You're the one who's pushing disinformation
As you herd your sheep into crowds of indignation
But you're the one who needs to learn to draw the line
Between the fiction and the truth you find.
Your perfect world is nothing but a fucking prison

Guilt

Followed by guilt for committing a sin.
All of my demons they come from within.
Got no direction but that never stops me
From running away from the places i've been.
So vexed that I can't even think straight
My skull is filled with a deafening noise
This is a madness that kills
A fiery hatred inside that destroys
Haunted by ghosts of my every mistake.
Walking on nails every step that I take.
Look for a way out but can't see the light.
Stuck in a body with someone I hate.
So vexed that I can't even think straight
My skull is filled with a deafening noise
This is a madness that kills
A hate that destroys
Try to sleep
But i can't ignore the repulsion in me.
Try to run
It catches up like its shot from a gun.
It always catches up (no matter what)
Every door and window (slamming shut)
And when I try to fight (I always lose)
This is the hand i'm dealt- nothing to do.
This is the hand i'm dealt.
Find peace in myself
Or take the one way out.
Just wait another day
See if the loathing fades
Maybe I'll learn to change.
Dwell on mistakes
Till my head aches
Try to sleep
But i can't ignore the repulsion in me.
Try to run
It catches up like its shot from a gun.
Patience is progress, conflict is life.
Balancing thoughts on the the edge of a knife
Steadfast and stubborn, never relent.
Waging this war till the end of my life.
The cycle will start with an illness
But it will end with a choice
This is a madness that kills
A hate that destroys

Devotion
03:25

All of the times that I put you before myself
Based on a false understanding of what you were about.
Blinded by desperation and high hopes,
You knew I'd never let you down
(You knew I'd never say no).
Devotion forged on the coldest days of youth (of youth).
Worn away by those selfish things you do (you do).
Waste my patience, take advantage of my faith (my faith).
Ill mourn the loss of this loyalty erased (our love defaced)
Its been a bloody mess and i know it was my fault too.
Ive made some dumb mistakes and i never should have trusted you.
I had the wool over my eyes (misplaced trust).
You wasted so much of my time (fooled by lust).
I gave you chance after chance (waiting my turn).
You turned from eagle to rat (lesson learned).
Devotion forged on the coldest days of youth (of youth).
Worn away by those selfish things you do (you do).
Waste my patience, take advantage of my faith (my faith).
Ill mourn the loss of this loyalty erased (our love defaced)
Its been a fucking mess and i know it was my fault too.
Ive made some dumb mistakes and i never should have trusted you.
It's been a bloody mess, i wish I'd just walked away that night.
You still don't get it; no apology can make this right
I hope i never see your face again until we both stop breathing.
Because this void in me will never end unless these wounds start healing
