Love Me to Death

Ill burn it down
turn around and look into my eyes
tell me what you're thinking
I'm sick of watching life pass me by
though the cracks in the ceiling
I'm alive, but I'm scared
I'm alone, A thought I can't comprehend
you said you'd love me to death
but I smell the alcohol on your breath
I'll feel it out & push it down
this feeling in my gut
that you can't be trusted
spewing lies, alibis that don't add up
too young, too dumb, to give a fuck
I'm alive, but I'm scared
I'm alone, a thought I can't comprehend
I said I'll never believe you
when you tell me
that you would love me to death
you said you'd love me to death

Wage Slave

When our lives are the price we pay
for nothing in return
slave to a wage
A dollar saved for every 10 that were earned
each and every notion
devote and devoted
I cant spend another second
in my own head
I just need to get away
get away from me
Slave to societies hold
get away from me
when our blood is the price we pay
but we will never see a change
and I cant look away
now that these eyes can barely see
the lines that divide us
they're faulty, frayed and collapsing
its only a matter of time
until we start to see through the cracks
we've packed our fists, filled them with hate
Led to dead ends like rats in a maze
I'm leading a life of which i'm ashamed
I was once resilient, I swear it
what do you expect of me?
just simply to exist?
when the weight of my existence
is too much for me to lift

Hymn of Regret
03:31
|

I can't seek forgiveness
when you know what I've done
searching for answers to our past
and the songs we left unsung
A hymn of regret
A aria of sorrow
A melody of life with no tomorrow
I never wanted to do this on my own
the curse you gifted, the pain isn't lifting
I never thought I could do this all alone
not dead but dying, I'm fucking trying
you're still the face that I see when I hear northern wind
A constant gut feeling to run and start again
my cowardice knows no bounds
paralyzed by sights and sounds
the last time we met eyes
you watched me drown
I'm running out of ways to write
that I wish that I could go to sleep and not wake up
give me rest
I'm running out of ways to sing
that I think this world could still burn bright
with one less light
give me rest

Tether

I'm trying to keep it together
I promised myself that I'd make it
to your funerals
but its getting so fucking hard
to convince myself
that I've got something left to say
I'm holding on when I know
that there is nothing left for me
my feet were blistered from walking down rt. 17
you both searched for hours and you couldn't find a trace of me
my heart was filled with malice
my face covered in shame
I stood by the mausoleum
to take away the November night sting
and convince myself that I've got something left to say
I'm holding holding on when I know
that there is nothing left for me
The cars headlights outlined my body
before I'd made up my mind
you made me look you in the eyes before you embraced me
A warmth I've never felt
and a touch that I won't forget
I was shivering from the cold
you were shaking from pre-mature grief
convince myself that I've got something left to say
I'm holding on when I know that there is nothing left for me
take me away
with ill intent in my shaking hands
unwavering
take me away
