...Tore Myself In Two

And so my body begins to break
Feel me quiver and watch me sway
Along to the beat of war
That takes place inside closed doors
And If I ever make it out alive
I’m running straight to your light
Escaping the curse of Sisyphus
Dreaming eyes point towards bliss
A new flower blooms before my eyes
As the old ones wither away with time
Scratched and clawed just to follow you
Scratched and clawed just to follow you
Crushed under the weight of the true
I lie between good and you
Sever the heads of the cowards who reap upon the likes of you and me
Tore myself in two
Tore myself in two to get to you
Tore myself in two
Tore myself in two to get to you
Tore myself in two
Tore myself in two to get to you
Tore myself in two
Tore myself in two to get to you
So as I lie before you now
With my broken disguise
Help sew me back together
And breathe life into my rotting heart
Tore myself in two
Tore myself in two to get to you

Blood Tithe

Breaking porcelain skin
Smothered by bright lights and violence
Fleeing into the unknown
Between hell and heaven
Crawl through the broken glass
I’ll sing your praise to the ghosts of my past
Wrote my thoughts with the blood I spilt
Read them aloud and I’ll spill my guilt
Leave me in the gutter
Let me sulk and suffer
Another moment left behind
Breaking teeth with every smile
I’m wrapping my arms around the dark
Embracing the calamity
A world of peace could never welcome me
I spit blood on the cross of serenity
Breaking porcelain skin
Smothered by bright lights and violence
Fleeing into the unknown
Between hell and heaven
Mesmerized by the ties that bind
I still see through tired eyes
Hold me down and tell me my sins
And never forgive them
Tear me apart and leave me for dead
I need something more than a hole in my head
Tried to exist with my indifference
Fell in love with the process
So now I always tremble in the face of change
Diving headfirst and riding the tide of shame
Only seeing with bitter red eyes
Always dreaming of lost youth and blue skies
A dull vision of
A dull vision of
Breaking porcelain skin
Smothered by bright lights and violence
Fleeing into the unknown
Between hell and heaven
Mesmerized by the ties that bind
I still see through tired eyes
Hold me down and tell me my sins
And never forgive them
Never forgiven
Never forgiven
Never forgiven
Never forgiven

Suffer Through
02:53

Leave me chained to the bed
Leave me to the thoughts in my head
Leave me to reminisce all the memories I couldn’t kill
Leave me in a state of shit
Leave me floating in the wind
Leave me to explore my worth
Leave me to be my worst
It’s all apart of my process
I never feel more alone than when I’m in a crowded room
I’ll get the urge to speak but sit quiet and listen
To the thoughts of strangers that I might love to know
And the carefree parts of them really speak to me
It’s the ways I can’t relate but envy
Making me feel crazy
Fill me with vanity
And let me run free
Short of thrills and oxygen
I wanna feel alive in the midst
Of failure and self-loathing
I wanna feel alive again
Disconnected from it all
It’s difficult forming connections
With the souls I come across
I’d love to share my time with them
But this mind is my crux
Going from extreme to extreme
I never really know what I want but I know I want it
Residing with manic tendencies
And the notion of coming clean
I’ve bitten off more than I can chew
But I’ll just suffer through
Leave me to sunlight and warmth
Leave me in the arms of my love
Leave me inside dreams of prosperity
Leave me for the ones I trust
Leave me with a will to live
Leave me with a chance to grow
Leave me with the knowledge of knowing
When to come and when to go
Another night thinking of life and what will come next
I need some sleep
I’ll figure out the rest
Days add up, the nights turn cold
What am I here for?

Phantom Touch

Drain the blood
Home is wherever I’m alone
I learned how to die a long time ago
Lost in the fog of it all
Cleanse me of these plaguing thoughts
For anytime I think the battle is over
It comes crawling back to me
It’s an ocean
It’s a war-torn city
It takes everything from me
It’ll take a prayer to the gods of deceiving nature
To sew the threads together
Fall apart as it comes together
Once I think about the world too much
I start losing touch
Once I dissect everything I’ve touched
I’ll decide I’ve had enough
As I’ll never be enough for the name I carry
So drain the blood I share with all these strangers
Once I think about the word too much
I start losing touch
Once I dissect everything I’ve touched
I’ll decide I’ve had enough (x3)
