Distancing
Sometimes I distance myself
Because I'm hoping that people will back off
Because I need space
I wonder if people respect me enough to give me that
Sometimes I distance myself
Because Im hoping that people will come closer
Because I need reassurance
I wonder if people love me enough to give me that
Because I'm hoping that people will back off
Because I need space
I wonder if people respect me enough to give me that
Sometimes I distance myself
Because Im hoping that people will come closer
Because I need reassurance
I wonder if people love me enough to give me that

Trying To Fill The Gaps
I fill this hole with people
Its a temporary fix
I feel momentary happiness
It never really sticks
Then disappointment settles in
My heart feels crushed again
Its a brutalizing cycle
That never seems to end
Spending my time thinking about
The ones I let slip away
All the while I'm slowly losing
The ones that are here today
People never measure up
There's no way that they could
Cuz I set my expectations higher
Than I know I ever should
Finding people to fill the gaps
Makes the game...
Its a temporary fix
I feel momentary happiness
It never really sticks
Then disappointment settles in
My heart feels crushed again
Its a brutalizing cycle
That never seems to end
Spending my time thinking about

All the while I'm slowly losing
The ones that are here today
People never measure up
There's no way that they could
Cuz I set my expectations higher
Than I know I ever should
Finding people to fill the gaps

A Prayer Before Sleeping
As I lay me down to sleep
I hope that death my soul will reap
If I die before I wake
No more suffering must I take
No one waste one single tear
I was never happy here
Should this be my final rest
Ill release this burden from my chest
Eternal slumber will set me free
Deaths embrace deliver me
I hope that death my soul will reap
If I die before I wake
No more suffering must I take
No one waste one single tear
I was never happy here
Should this be my final rest
Ill release this burden from my chest
Eternal slumber will set me free
Deaths embrace deliver me

PSI
So in doing some research I come to realize I have PSI
Passive Suicidal Ideation
Basically, that means I want to die
But
I do not want to be the cause
I am unwilling to carry out the act myself
I hope for bad things to hsppen to me
Like a fatal car accident
A random shooting
An uncurable disease that will result in my death
A heart attack
Being struck by lightning
Anything that will result in my death
That I can feel no guilt about
...

What's Best?
What am I fucking doing?
This hurts so fucking bad!
Im pushing people away
Good people
But it's because they're good people that I can't lie to them
I can't keep telling everyone I'm ok when they check on me
But I can't tell them how I really feel
Cuz I don't want them to worry
I don't want to cause them pain
So I shoulder the pain myself
I choose to suffer alone
Because I always know best
Whats best for everyone else except me
What I want doesn't matter
Because Im fucked in the...

The Promise
You always hide your scars
You feel ugly inside
Within the smile on your lips
There's a sadness that's belied
What's beneath the surface
You keep hidden away
Always wearing a mask
As you go throughout your day
The person that others know
It isn't you at all
Nothing but a big display
When in truth you feel small
The more people around you
The more alone you feel
They can't understand
That this you isn't real
Inside of your silence
Is where you find peace...
You feel ugly inside
Within the smile on your lips
There's a sadness that's belied
What's beneath the surface
You keep hidden away
Always wearing a mask
As you go throughout your day
The person that others know
It isn't you at all
Nothing but a big display
When in truth you feel small
The more people around you
The more alone you feel
They can't understand
That this you isn't real
Inside of your silence
Is where you find peace...

The Realist Idealist
Keeping people at a distance is just what I do
I've been pushing people away cuz they're just not you
Telling everyone I'm ok but its just not true
Can't change my outlook when I got just one view
The constant ache inside of me has broken my will
No matter how much I try to come to terms it hurts me still
Like cutting my heart open and watching all of the blood spill
Sick of people telling me that I just need to chill
I had everything I ever wanted and I tossed it away
Acting like they meant nothing made...

The Descent
For days tears have lingered behind my eyes
They won't release, they remain trapped
I've been thinking about all the goodbyes
I think something inside me has snapped
There's so much hurt that I can't release
All of the regret fucking tears me apart
Thoughts of disappearing now increase
My soul only wants to depart
I think of the ones I let slip away
By being consumed with fear
Closing myself off more each day
And now they are no longer here
I hate this life and I hate me too
I don't want to hurt anymore ...
They won't release, they remain trapped
I've been thinking about all the goodbyes
I think something inside me has snapped
There's so much hurt that I can't release
All of the regret fucking tears me apart
Thoughts of disappearing now increase
My soul only wants to depart
I think of the ones I let slip away
By being consumed with fear
Closing myself off more each day
And now they are no longer here
I hate this life and I hate me too
I don't want to hurt anymore ...

Talking To The Moon
You're scared of people getting close
Its hard to give your trust
You've had that trust betrayed
You had no choice but to adjust
Your feelings overwhelm you
You want to let them go
The more you crave the quiet
The louder that things grow
You feel unworthy, you don't deserve
The people that love and care
It's hard to accept good things
When you were raised within despair
You have trouble with speaking the words
That get caught somewhere in your mind
You have so much going on at once
They're...
Its hard to give your trust
You've had that trust betrayed
You had no choice but to adjust
Your feelings overwhelm you
You want to let them go
The more you crave the quiet
The louder that things grow
You feel unworthy, you don't deserve
The people that love and care
It's hard to accept good things
When you were raised within despair
You have trouble with speaking the words
That get caught somewhere in your mind
You have so much going on at once
They're...

Descending
I've been trying to pull myself out of this hole
The harder I try the further down I go
And I just don't know
Im trapped though
I'm so low
Every direction I pick still ends up the same
I go up and Im surrounded by blame
Down only leads me to shame
Playing a rigged game
No prize to claim
I don't want to believe this is my fate
But Im caught in a weakened state
Trying not to give in to hate
Its probably too late
Too much weight
Maybe instead I should bury myself in
Cuz there's no...
The harder I try the further down I go
And I just don't know

I'm so low
Every direction I pick still ends up the same

Down only leads me to shame

No prize to claim
I don't want to believe this is my fate
But Im caught in a weakened state
Trying not to give in to hate
Its probably too late
Too much weight
Maybe instead I should bury myself in

All For You
Reach into my chest and tear out my soul to feed you
If that's not enough, twist a knife and make me bleed too
Let my insides pour to the ground
Let all that I am be all that I was
If some devil would come to me and offer a deal
I would sacrifice everything if it meant you could heal
The pain in your eyes is unbearable
You deserve to live free from burden
Your beauty and radiance is meant to outshine the sun
If my death could give that to you then hand me the gun
This world needs what you have
You will...
If that's not enough, twist a knife and make me bleed too
Let my insides pour to the ground
Let all that I am be all that I was
If some devil would come to me and offer a deal
I would sacrifice everything if it meant you could heal
The pain in your eyes is unbearable
You deserve to live free from burden
Your beauty and radiance is meant to outshine the sun
If my death could give that to you then hand me the gun
This world needs what you have
You will...
