Hole in my Heart
Hole in My Heart
I feel like you were stolen from me
and to the one that took you from me
‘I hope that you are fucking happy
you’ve made me feel so cold and empty!’
And now there’s a hole
where you used to be
and now I feel alone
because you’re not with me
-You left me with nothing but pain
and you wouldn’t accept my pleads
I don’t know why you didn’t stay
did you find something wrong with me?- (Chorus)
I feel like you were stolen away
and to the one that holds you today
‘I hope that you choke and...

Plate of Lies
You once ignited me
but the flame from the fire is gone.
You never loved me
you wanted me out all along
You hardly showed me
the feelings that you hid inside
You didnt know me
and now it's just a waste of time
You wanted nothing from me
but I still gave you everything
You never needed me to breathe
and now I'm left with all this strain
Tell me why you did this to me
you left me hanging by a string
(Chorus)
You could've killed me
with the plate of lies you fed me ...
but the flame from the fire is gone.
You never loved me
you wanted me out all along
You hardly showed me
the feelings that you hid inside
You didnt know me
and now it's just a waste of time
You wanted nothing from me
but I still gave you everything
You never needed me to breathe
and now I'm left with all this strain
Tell me why you did this to me
you left me hanging by a string
(Chorus)
You could've killed me
with the plate of lies you fed me ...

I don't deserve you
Set me free
so I can see
I must believe
in you and me
Watch me now
I'm falling down
save me now
I feel left out
Tell me what I need
make me believe this is what I need
cause right now I've got...
Something to have to myself
I dont deserve this
A gift sent by God himself
I dont deserve this
A heavenly angel
I dont deserve this
The best thing in the world
I dont deserve this
I dont deserve you
(Chorus)
Hold me close
dont let go
if we grow ...
so I can see
I must believe
in you and me
Watch me now
I'm falling down
save me now
I feel left out
Tell me what I need
make me believe this is what I need
cause right now I've got...
Something to have to myself
I dont deserve this
A gift sent by God himself
I dont deserve this
A heavenly angel
I dont deserve this
The best thing in the world
I dont deserve this
I dont deserve you
(Chorus)
Hold me close
dont let go
if we grow ...

Brighter Side
It’s time to wake up
Unplug yourself from the TV screen
You need to get up
And step away from the empty screams
You can’t just give up
You have to keep chasing down your dreams
Just pick yourself up
Doesn’t matter how much your soul bleeds
-From the fire you’ll burn brighter
than anyone that’s by your side
From the ashes you’ll rise higher
Than any doubt that’s in your mind
So stoke the fire and see the brighter side
For once in your life- (chorus)
The key’s in the car
Just drive so far away...

than anyone that’s by your side

A lesson learned
I'm out of things to write
I'm out of things to say
What makes this not all right?
What makes it all okay?
Do I need to stop this ride?
Do I need to take a break?
I cant get through the night
it has to end today
You cant take all my thoughts and throw them all away,
leave me here to die and think that it's okay
you cant leave me out and shut me down each day
a lesson I've learned is that you will never change
(Chorus)
You cant suffocate me
by telling me maybe
you're marked by jealousy

Stray
Do your part and stay away from me
I don’t want your motherfucking disease
Have you heard of social distancing?
Just stay inside and throw away the key
Trust the plan/ It will work if we all obey/ at least that’s what they say
-So hang your head and join the herd. There’s no need for you to stray.
It’s better to not say a word, You don’t want to misbehave.- (chorus)
Close your eyes cause you don’t need to see
What’s hiding behind curtain number three.
Trust the plan/ It will work, don’t you agree/ Do you...

Feels like Death
Stressed and tired
I walk this wire
Put out the fire
No more desire
-I can’t get these thoughts out of my head
Some things are better left unsaid
I’m having visions, I’m seeing red
It feels like death is just a step ahead- (chorus)
The end is near
It’s all I hear
Consumed by fear
Soon I’ll disappear
I can’t get these thoughts out of my head
Some things are better left unsaid
I’m having visions, I’m seeing red
It feels like death is just a step ahead
(Chorus)

Consumed by fear

Reality
You are the type that must always be right
You just refuse to see the other side
Tear down the truth and build up more lies
What will it take for you to realize
That time is not going to rewind
-So you can come back to reality
And see things for what they’re meant to be
So you can take back all anomalies
Like all the imperfections in me- (Chorus)
You are the hype that is never contrite
You just infuse with the devil inside
The path you choose can lead to your demise
What will it take for you to realize
...
You just refuse to see the other side

Like all the imperfections in me- (Chorus)
You are the hype that is never contrite

What will it take for you to realize

Unknown
Herding the sheep
Don't make a peep
Isn't this all so perfect?
No time to weep
Just go to sleep
And soon this dream you'll forget
Now that I have you attention
You have no choice but to listen
-Just do as you were told
Sometimes it's best not to know
Just hang your head and follow
I'll give you my hand to hold
As we enter the unknown - chorus
Culling the weak
People are freaks
This fucked up world makes no sense
Force fed deceit
Better not speak
There's no way to make amends ...
Don't make a peep

Sometimes it's best not to know
Just hang your head and follow
I'll give you my hand to hold
As we enter the unknown - chorus
Culling the weak
People are freaks
This fucked up world makes no sense
Force fed deceit

Another Day
Hurting is what I do best
cause I always have bruises
to show everyone what's left
of me and how it's useless
to keep fighting with a broken heart
If I cant convince you to stay
then I must let you go away
and now there's nothing left to say
I wont live for another day
(Chorus)
These scars have become my skin
whatever touches me hurts
and I dont think I can win
because when I try it hurts
to keep fighting with a broken soul
-Chorus-
So just give up and leave
and...
cause I always have bruises

then I must let you go away
and now there's nothing left to say
I wont live for another day
(Chorus)
These scars have become my skin
whatever touches me hurts
and I dont think I can win

to keep fighting with a broken soul

Exiled
You think I'm the one who gave up on us
But have you looked in the mirror lately?
Your reflection is faded like a ghost
Your eyes are black and your soul is empty
And you swear you're not the one
And that this argument is done
And you think I'm on the run
When, in fact, I'm fucking done with you
I'm gonna make it through
The hell you put me through
I'm gonna bury you
I am done
You think you're the one who's gonna save us
But you can't save yourself from imploding
You're swimming around in your own disgust ...

What You Want
I’ll never shine bright enough for you
try hard enough for you
fall far enough for you
fly high enough for you
I’ll never live like you want me to
think like you want me to
feel like you want me to
break like you want me to
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not- (Chorus1)
I’ll never be strong enough for you
suffer enough for you
give quite enough for you
take just enough for you
I’ll never speak like you...
try hard enough for you
fall far enough for you
fly high enough for you
I’ll never live like you want me to
think like you want me to
feel like you want me to
break like you want me to
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not- (Chorus1)
I’ll never be strong enough for you
suffer enough for you
give quite enough for you
take just enough for you
I’ll never speak like you...
