Wishful Thinking

This is the real me I am more than you'll ever be You were hoping that I would crash and burn Now you see the tables turned So learn to keep your fingers crossed You're better off dead and I'm better off You're better off dead, and I am better off So watch, as I bury our past Whether you're ready or not Now I'm the one you wouldn't dare to double cross I can't seem to shake this feeling I can't seem to disguise the bleeding You could never stand to see me healing I'm drawing the line Between love and leaving For all those years, you kept me on my own I know now you're too far gone I was never really better off Living just to be left alone All the abuse you put us through It's all just an excuse to you All the good you tried to undo Now I'm the one with nothing left to lose Nothing left to lose Was it all for a fucking point to prove Controlling my every move Now I'm the one Who's finally gonna fucking finish you I can't seem to shake this feeling I can't seem to disguise the bleeding You could never stand to see me healing I'm drawing the line Between love and leaving This is the real me Falling apart so set me free This is the real me I am more than you'll ever be I am more than you'll ever be I can't seem to shake this feeling I can't seem to disguise the bleeding You could never stand to see me healing I'm drawing the line Between love and leaving

Scattered 03:47
I'm so out of touch with myself I feel too weak to ask for help I'd rather be anybody else Collapsing, I can't stomach the pain Relapsing, or stand the way My mind plays all these games I can't explain I can't see straight Now you know, I'll dig this grave on my own My soul empty and cold Crumbling like broken bones My sheltered soul, crumbling like broken bones Too shattered to stay close, too scattered to let go There's nothing left here I fear I'm begging you please my dear, let me go Please let me go Now I'm scattered, broken at the seams I'm begging please Let me go My soul still bleeding Onto the floor into the sheets How do I even sleep or eat When I can't even fucking breathe I can't even fucking breathe My spirit shattered Like dust my life seems to gather How do I even sleep or eat When I can't even fucking breathe There's nothing left here I fear I'm begging you please my dear, let me go Please let me go Now I'm scattered, broken at the seams I'm begging please Let me go Please let me go I feel so jaded This life I've wasted Disdain, for myself and the life I've wasted Displace my self hatred There's nothing left here I fear I'm begging you please my dear, let me go Now I'm scattered, broken at the seams I'm begging please Let me go There's nothing left here I fear I'm begging you please my dear, let me go Let me go Please let me go I feel so jaded This life I've wasted

Two by six It should make you sick It's twisted this tradition sticks Born from a system that hurts to exist They live for the pain that we inflict It's cruel we accept The born and bred Never laid to rest Kept alive to be left for dead To bite the hand that feeds Ripping them apart We cut our teeth Taking more than we'll ever need Ripping them apart Just to Watch them bleed Taking more than we'll ever need Fatebringer tell me what you see I feel I've lost my way I can't escape this reality The walls closing in Closer and closer Wearing me thin It's cruel we accept The born and bred Never laid to rest Kept alive to be left for dead Lives worth no less than ours Their suffering only sold pound for pound Can you hear the fucking sound Dying out, can you hear them now? Can you hear them now? Their hearts still beating Their lungs still breathing We can't seem to stop the bleeding Forging greed over the grieving The fucking lies they've kept us believing We're the ones kept sick from the feeding Can't you hear their cries and their pleading Fatebringer tell me what you see I feel I've lost my way I can't escape this reality The walls closing in Closer and closer Wearing me thin Fatebringer tell me what you see I feel I've lost my way I can't face this reality The walls closing in Closer and closer Wearing me thin Feeding ourselves with all the lies Can you hear their dying cries We're the ones that are dead inside

Try Hard 03:40
I think I'm losing grip Reality leads me to slip I never fucking asked for this Bleeding just to reminisce Tried so hard Yet I've not gone far Desperately searching for fire to spark All these dreams to conceive my reality Pleading for a way to restart Before I bleed out in the dark Tied to hide in comfort and pride I need a way to break this bind Forego the heartache in my stride I long to thrive on the other side For better or worse I could drink til it still hurts Unearth to learn it's all I'm worth Breaking myself down into the fucking dirt Begging for the solace in rebirth Tried so hard Yet I've not gone far Desperately searching for fire to spark All these dreams to conceive my reality Pleading for a way to restart Before I bleed out in the dark Where, where did it all go wrong I've been going nowhere all along Nightmares serve only to prolong Distress feels like it belongs The thought of leaving this earth so lost So what if I can't face the end Or believe the voices in my head Is this search as hard as it gets Do I make my peace Or finally make amends Tried so hard Yet I've not gone far Desperately searching for fire to spark All these dreams to conceive my reality Pleading for a way to restart Before I bleed out in the dark

I'm not the one who's holding you back You're so unsure, when it's empathy I lack I feel so insecure Be honest with yourself I never asked for help You make me feel alive But I'm barely breathing Hopeless to find Some sense of security I feel so blind it's hard for me to see That this moment in time Was made for you and me Pull me closer like you mean it It's so right, but I don't feel it Tell me you're mine and I'll believe it Because all that I wanted was to be needed Be honest with yourself I never asked for help This toxic nature is our game One that I don't wanna play I'll wait forever if you say That you'll stay You make me feel alive But I'm barely breathing Hopeless to find Some sense of security I feel so blind it's hard for me to see That this moment in time Was made for you and me Is there no turning back Is there no turning back I would wait forever if you say That you'll stay I would wait forever I would wait forever If you say That you'll stay You make me feel alive But I'm barely breathing Hopeless to find Some sense of security I feel so blind it's hard for me to see That this moment in time Was made for you and me Pull me closer like you mean it It's so right, but I don't feel it Tell me you're mine and I'll believe it Because all that I wanted was to be needed

Wayfarer 03:33
So far past the point of no return These seconds leaving marks I'll forever earn Time lost breeding lessons I'll never learn, a cause for concern Forging flickering fire That might not ever truly burn Time folds rapidly into mistake Bodies remain, there's no mistake As beauty fades away On the shore, we stay lying awake As the burden of age, forcefully takes Sifting through grains of sand As they leave my hands My sanity begins to crack Life I left this life to chance If we're not meant for this life As time passes by, the great divide Until then, I wonder why Wayfarer, is this goodbye Waves wash across the shore I don't recognize you anymore This pain I can't ignore Forcing this contagion Facing my fixation Peeling back the layers I can feel my body ageing out My body slowly plaguing This hell that I'm not caged in If we're not meant for this life As time passes by, the great divide Until then, I wonder why Wayfarer, is this goodbye 'I'll know these cracks Like the back of my hand And slowly sink into the sand My fragile sense of self Still looking back And left to fucking chance Timing left to chance So slowly sink into the sand If we're not meant for this life As time passes by, the great divide Until then, I wonder why Wayfarer, is this goodbye Until then I wonder why Wayfarer, we're out of time

Emotions spilling out Walls pent up coming down What am I to you now Left out to fucking drown You call it heartache Hurting for old times sake Failure in my veins I'll never break these chains Why do I stay the same Still stuck in my old ways Why can't you say my name Or say it to my face Hollow, never whole Lose you, and I've lost it all The drugs take control Memories won't break the fall That follows Failure in my veins I'll never break these chains Repress what was said When you're the one who up and left When I said to you, I couldn't forget I fucking meant it Then you left, I still remember Don't pretend it wasn't senseless When you said I won't get better Just give up and fucking end it I guess I just wasn't enough for you So toss me aside like you have no use You thought I would fall but I'm better now I'm better now, I'm better now I guess I just wasn't enough for you I can feel the walls as they're caving in Fighting to forget all the pain Forget everything The more things change The more they stay the same I guess I'll lie here wide awake I've given more than I could take I guess I'm stuck in my old ways Stuck in my old ways

Damage Plan 03:16
Why do you always put your hands around my neck I hope you know I'm hanging by a fucking thread You've made me such a wreck I wish that I could just walk away from you instead An eye for an eye Trying to survive I'm sick and tired of being pushed aside An eye for an eye Trying to survive Never again will you take what is mine You wouldn't know How it feels to cling to hope When everything you touch Turns to stone You'll never know How much it really hurts Letting go of you You'll never know I hope you rot alone An eye for an eye Trying to survive I'm sick and tired of being pushed aside An eye for an eye Trying to survive Never again will you take what is mine When did my life become so misplaced When did you fill my heart with so much hate Ashamed you left me feeling this way Rip me to pieces Tear me to shreds You'll never be apart of me again Apart of me again You'll never be apart of me again An eye for an eye Trying to survive I'm sick and tired of being pushed aside An eye for an eye Trying to survive Never again will you take what is mine How could you change You never loved me anyway

Fault Line 03:30
Selling myself short, dreams buried and gone Never thought I'd be so lost hoping for more I despise the day to day as my new norm Where my heart doesn't feel like it beats at all Ambition shaken and worn Bound up like a lifeless corpse And my existence against the wall For a sense of purpose that can't be bought Can you see I'm more than a puppet on your string Without this dream I'll forever be lost in obscurity This dream is everything It makes no sense Keeping myself in debt Over going through the motions Until the end The price of a life led with less intent Is holding back until I'm fucking dead You'd never accept I couldn't be you instead Can you see I'm more than a puppet on your string Without this dream I'll forever be lost in obscurity This dream is everything to me My existence still shaken and worn You can't hold me back anymore I am more than a puppet on your string I hope you hear this in every word I sing The purpose and passion Worth all the pain that it brings To build this dream, I won't die wondering So why Can't you see I'm more than a puppet on your string Without this dream I'll forever be lost in obscurity Lost in obscurity

I can't stop falling short Taking myself apart Straying further away To poison my heart Light fades, all this darkness feels the same Nothing can take away the pain Drowning myself to numb the shame Colours fade away Losing every shade, I thought I knew Seeing through Bloodshot eyes turn black and blue Still reaching for air Fill my lungs with despair With a weight we both know I can't really bare Cracks begin to show their wear Medicate me, forever empty Broken dreams, addiction takes everything Light fades, all this darkness feels the same Nothing can take away the pain Drowning myself and I'm to blame Colours fade away Losing every shade, I thought I knew Seeing through Bloodshot eyes turn black and blue Colours fade away Losing every shade, I thought I knew Seeing through Bloodshot eyes turn black and blue Colours fade away Losing every shade, I thought I knew Seeing through Bloodshot eyes turn black and blue
