...About Myself

The things I hate the most about myself are knocking at the door, I can’t decide if I should let them in.
The things I liked about myself are gone, they’re not here anymore. I’m left to fend for myself without any help.
My hands are destructive, they burn everything that they touch.
It’s a bit much, but I think that I’m done trying.
I am done lying to myself, I need change.

SINK / SWIM

Then comes reaching a hand through the dark.
Eyes of fire like the light from the sun.
A face of shapeless form to the core.
A voice so gentle it would calm a storm.
A whispered word faintly speaks to my ear.
Set fire, set fire to the light in your heart.
Another word when she signaled come near.
Listen closely child,
-Sink or swim
Against the currents
Constantly pulling you back
-Sink or swim
Against the waves and the winds
Fight for your life or drown in the ocean
-Sink or swim
So keep your head above the water, kid
The storm won't be passing tonight.
-Sink or swim
Confused and constricted, abused and unlisted.
I know where I went wrong.
I'm just lost and alone in the dark.
These are the days that we’re wasting away.
As I walk through the valley,
the shadows are chasing me down.
As I look to the sky,
The clouds are dark all around.
As I swim through the ocean,
The waves rise up against me.
As I try my hardest to fight back,
A whisper takes hold of my ear.
Listen closely she said,
You’re not alone, you’re with me.
No matter where you are, you won't be Lost at Sea.
Let go of your harness, Stand Tall now and be free with me.
It’s in the Darkest of Times, The Dead of the Night,
Deliverance comes in a fearful disguise.
Listen closely she said,
You’re not alone, you’re with me.
-Sink or swim
Against the currents
Constantly pulling you back
-Sink or swim
Against the waves and the winds
Fight for your life or drown in the ocean
-Sink or swim
So keep your head above the water, kid
The storm won't be passing tonight.
-Sink or swim
Confused and constricted, abused and unlisted.
I know where I went wrong.

Burn Out Bright

Here’s to the nights that we never slept
Here’s to the chances we should have kept
Here’s to the times that we should have lept,
Everybody sing along for the times we wept.
Here’s to the kids that are all alone
Fighting the fight just to feel at home
Here’s to the stories of the great unknown,
To the paths that are yet to be shown.
This is your battle cry, now stand up and fight
This is the anthem to a new kind of light
We’re not alone and we will put up a fight
It’s not right,
We’re here to show them that we’ll burn out bright.
I'm burning, I’m burning, I’m burning,
And you can't put me out
You're just a test of my faith,
Another brick wall to break.
It's no mistake to me that I won't be a product of your hateful schemes,
Misery loves company but that's just who I used to be.
Living with insecurities
Losing my time to a eulogy
Losing my mind right in front of me,
I can't seem to escape.
To escape
Running from my own remains
Remnant to my old mistakes
Blood clotting footsteps of fate
I’m Just a pawn but I'm stuck in check mate.
Here’s to the nights that we never slept
Here’s to the chances we should have kept
Here’s to the times that we should have lept,
Everybody sing along for the times we wept.
Here’s to the kids that are all alone
Fighting the fight just to feel at home
Here’s to the stories of the great unknown,
To the paths that are yet to be shown.
This is your battle cry, now stand up and fight
This is the anthem to a new kind of light
We’re not alone and we will put up a fight
It’s not right,
We’re here to show them that we’ll burn out bright.

Laugh it off while we plan our attack.
Designer formula, the knife’s in your back.
Hiding in plain sight, a Hollywood train wreck.
You bring the kerosene, we light the match.
A twisted ankle and you're stuck in our trap.
You're going down kid, you might as well face it.
The walls are closing in and there's nothing left to lose.
Drastic times call for Drastic measures.
The cards are on the table and it's time to make a move.
Drastic times call for Drastic measures.
Sometimes it feels like we're out on our own.
No one could understand the burdens we hold.
Too close, too close to the end of it all.
Lose hope, lose hope.
Our hearts are heavy, our swords are worse.
We fought the battle just to sleep in a hearse.
Too close, too close to the end of it all.
Lose hope, lose hope.
Then it sets in.
That sinking feeling like I'm at the end.
That sinking feeling like I'm suddenly at the end.
This war was never mine to win.
I had to lose it all just to begin.
The walls are closing in and there's nothing left to lose.
Drastic times call for Drastic measures.
The cards are on the table, it's time to make a move.
Drastic times call for Drastic measures.
Sometimes it feels like we're out on our own.
No one could understand the burdens we hold.
Too close, too close to the edge of it all.
Lose hope, lose hope at the end of it all.
Our hearts are heavy, our swords are worse.
We fought the battle just to sleep in a hearse.
Too close, too close to the edge of it all.
Lose hope, lose hope.

Through The Dark
04:14

We’re at the starting line, staring straight at the seams just to see what it means.
Ignite the fire inside, tonight’s the night and we’re ready to fight.
The lights are blinding, my mind is filling with doubt.
The roads are winding, I can’t find my way out.
It seems so easy but we’ve all been deceived, the path is jagged but you have to believe.
Racing through the dark, I’ve seen this fate too many times.
My eyes are sore, my lungs are worn.
I know my sins will haunt you,
My heart is beating slowly,
It’s all been done, I’m moving on.
Please forgive me if you can.
And don’t look back.
Racing through the dark, I’ve seen this fate too many times.
My eyes are sore, my lungs are worn.
I know my sins will haunt you,
My heart is beating slowly,
It’s all been done, I’m moving on.

One Planet, One Timeline.
We’re trapped inside and we’re doomed to die.
Feet firmly planted in dirt and deception.
Don’t Deny that we’re running out of time.
Open your eyes and you’ll see the grand design.
No I don’t see it but I just might believe that it’s true.
-If you’re listening, my friend.. pay attention til the end because we’re struggling to make it through the light.
Faster & Faster - we’re closer to reaching the end.
But what does that mean when we can’t just pretend?
What will we do if we can’t comprehend,
Gravity, Gravity?
As I ask myself where my place in this world is,
I get lost in the stars.
I’m lost in the thoughts of dimensions beyond me.
The Cosmos collectively calming the storm all around me.
As I look into the starry sky, I see the light of your demise.
Shining through the darkened night, tricking the eye as we’re stuck in time.
One Planet,
One Timeline.
We’re trapped inside and we’re doomed to die.
Feet firmly planted in dirt and deception.

Cigarettes & Sin
03:37

You smell like cigarettes and sin.
I can’t believe I let you in.
You smell like cigarettes and sin.
Do you remember when we were free?
I can’t believe I let you win.
Now every moment’s laced in agony.
You smell like cigarettes and sin.
My innocence is nothing but a memory.
I can’t believe I let you in.
I’m not innocent.
I’m just as much to blame.
There you go fading into the mist.
Take me back, take me back to the start.
I can’t believe I fell for this
I can’t believe I let you into my heart.
I don’t want to be like this
Lights out now, into the dark.
I can’t help but be like this.
Take me back.
Lights out now into the dark.
Take me back to the start.

You said your light would always guide me home.
But where’s that light now that I’m alone?
I can’t hear your voice through the storm anymore.
But I can still feel your hands on my heart.
I would die a thousand times just to see the fire revived inside your eyes.
Come into your promise land, leave your burdens down now take my hand.
A light shines for you today.
This too shall pass, like the pain within a broken heart or the burdens on my back.
This too shall pass, like a moment through the looking glass, in the end it will have been too fast.
You said your light would always guide me home.
But where’s that light now that I’m alone?
I can’t hear your voice through the storm anymore.
But I can still feel your hands on my heart.
And as I look to the sky
I take a look into why
I've been designed by the light
But I've been taken the by the night.
Two worlds collide within me.
The worst arises.
And when the lights come alive
I see right through my demise
I can't keep running at night
My heart is always racing.
Two worlds collide within me
The worst arises.
This too shall pass.
I would die a thousand times just to see the fire revived inside your eyes.
Come into your promise land, leave your burdens down now take my hand.
A light shines for you today.
This too shall pass, like the pain within a broken heart or the burdens on my back.
This too shall pass, like a moment through the looking glass, in the end it will have been too fast.
