Just Let Go
Iridescently
you came into my life
so remarkably
how you hold my heart high
it's so heavenly
the way you make me smile
inspiring me
to keep myself alive
But now suddenly
you must be on your way
to find another me
there's nothing left to take
nothing left to breathe
dysphoria feeds the pain
and I can only dream
of how your soft lips taste
As I stare into you
knowing that this will be the last goodbye
I can only hold you
knowing that I've just let go of my life
(Chorus) ...
you came into my life
so remarkably
how you hold my heart high
it's so heavenly
the way you make me smile
inspiring me
to keep myself alive
But now suddenly
you must be on your way
to find another me
there's nothing left to take
nothing left to breathe
dysphoria feeds the pain
and I can only dream
of how your soft lips taste
As I stare into you
knowing that this will be the last goodbye
I can only hold you
knowing that I've just let go of my life
(Chorus) ...

Today
Today is rain
it falls on me
so heavily
and I cant see
what's wrong with me.
This pain brings me
down to my knees
and you rob me
when I'm asleep
but I dont see
why you picked me.
Today's a dream
I feel unclean
this hole you see
goes right through me
you carved through me
and buried me
way down beneath
Suffocate me
dont let me breathe
I'll never see
your vicious gleam
I feel so serrated
you ripped apart my life
and shattered my retreat
It feels...
it falls on me
so heavily
and I cant see
what's wrong with me.
This pain brings me
down to my knees
and you rob me
when I'm asleep
but I dont see
why you picked me.
Today's a dream
I feel unclean
this hole you see
goes right through me
you carved through me
and buried me
way down beneath
Suffocate me
dont let me breathe
I'll never see
your vicious gleam
I feel so serrated
you ripped apart my life
and shattered my retreat
It feels...

Everything I Need
I want to share my life with you
I know it's what I want to do.
But do you still feel the same way?
Please dont leave me out in the rain.
You are my light, my world, my life
You are all I need to survive
Everything,
You are everything,
Everything,
You are everything I need.
(Chorus)
The love I bleed for you is deep
This world I offer you to keep
I will take a bullet for you
I will take all the pain from you
-Chorus-
I dont know anything but...
I know it's what I want to do.
But do you still feel the same way?
Please dont leave me out in the rain.
You are my light, my world, my life
You are all I need to survive
Everything,
You are everything,
Everything,
You are everything I need.
(Chorus)
The love I bleed for you is deep
This world I offer you to keep
I will take a bullet for you
I will take all the pain from you
-Chorus-
I dont know anything but...

Cries of the Damned
Cannot escape this hell
Can’t seem to get out of this spell
I’m stuck inside this shell
Hoping everything will end well
-Fighting the fear, feeding the flames
Faith is unclear, no one to blame
Prayers have been jeered, lost and unclaimed
God cannot hear the cries of the damned- (Chorus)
Cannot erase the past
Can’t seem to remove this mask
Cannot see through the glass
Redemption is just beyond grasp
-Chorus-
God can’t adhere to the cries of the damned ...
Can’t seem to get out of this spell
I’m stuck inside this shell
Hoping everything will end well
-Fighting the fear, feeding the flames
Faith is unclear, no one to blame
Prayers have been jeered, lost and unclaimed
God cannot hear the cries of the damned- (Chorus)
Cannot erase the past
Can’t seem to remove this mask
Cannot see through the glass
Redemption is just beyond grasp
-Chorus-
God can’t adhere to the cries of the damned ...

Evaporate
I need you absent from my life
its the only way I cannot die
you just dont know how much I hurt
inside, my eyes begin to burn
every time that I see your face
I wish I could evaporate
And I know that
its all over for me now
And I'm sorry
for letting you so far down
(Chorus)
Would you really care if I died?
And would it even open your eyes
to see the damage done to me
and to be the things I used to be?
I wonder why you threw away
the brightest star to fall your way
-Chorus-...
its the only way I cannot die
you just dont know how much I hurt
inside, my eyes begin to burn
every time that I see your face
I wish I could evaporate
And I know that
its all over for me now
And I'm sorry
for letting you so far down
(Chorus)
Would you really care if I died?
And would it even open your eyes
to see the damage done to me
and to be the things I used to be?
I wonder why you threw away
the brightest star to fall your way

Grey
Another night at home again
Depression starts to settle in
Wondering if I’ll ever win
Repeating scenes don’t seem to end
You call this living/ we’re merely existing
-So don’t tell me the grass is green on the other side
And don’t look to the sky to see, there are only lies
So don’t tell me, yeah don’t tell me that everything is fine- (chorus)
Another day of work again
Bored as hell and I have no friends
Slave all week just to break even
Push through the days that don’t seem to end
...
Depression starts to settle in
Wondering if I’ll ever win
Repeating scenes don’t seem to end

Violent Sea
We’re all swimming in this ocean together
And as the waves consume us we start to drown
One by one
We’re all trying to get away from the sharks
But they keep on devouring us all
One by one
-One by one our time will come
One by one we come undone
One by one- (chorus)
We’re all fighting to stay afloat in this sea
But we just find ourselves sinking underneath
One by one
And as the waves consume us we start to drown
One by one
We’re all trying to get away from the sharks
But they keep on devouring us all
One by one
-One by one our time will come
One by one we come undone
One by one- (chorus)
We’re all fighting to stay afloat in this sea
But we just find ourselves sinking underneath
One by one

Distraction
We're playing right into their hands
The crucifixion of our lands
They're taking our minds off their plans
As they cripple us with their demands
But we won't see until it's too late
We're ripping each other apart
Forgetting that we all have hearts
And when the final war starts
We will have mastered this art
And we won't know anything but hate
But we won't see until it's too late
But we won't see until it's too late
until it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
it's too...
The crucifixion of our lands
They're taking our minds off their plans
As they cripple us with their demands
But we won't see until it's too late
We're ripping each other apart
Forgetting that we all have hearts
And when the final war starts
We will have mastered this art
And we won't know anything but hate
But we won't see until it's too late
But we won't see until it's too late
until it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
it's too...

The Drain
Circling the drain,
My low is getting lower
The darkness creeping closer
The night is getting colder
And I am just a loner
Falling down again,
My fears are taking over
Another mandatory order
By those who hold the power
Just listen to the crowd now
How much deeper does this go down?
My low is getting lower
The darkness creeping closer
The night is getting colder
And I am just a loner
Falling down again,
My fears are taking over
Another mandatory order
By those who hold the power
Just listen to the crowd now
How much deeper does this go down?

Intoxicating
I’m overcome by thoughts of late
I know this was a huge mistake
and I know I can’t change the past
I have no remorse for all that’s passed
And as I toss and turn at night
I pray that I can find the light
Your face still haunts me in my mind
Although you’re no longer inside
You wanted this so I gave it to you
Now you’re stuck with this, well I see through you (Chorus)
I know I have to face the truth
I cannot see myself with you
I feel my faith will not suffice
When you glare through my wondering eyes ...
I know this was a huge mistake
and I know I can’t change the past
I have no remorse for all that’s passed
And as I toss and turn at night
I pray that I can find the light
Your face still haunts me in my mind
Although you’re no longer inside
You wanted this so I gave it to you
Now you’re stuck with this, well I see through you (Chorus)
I know I have to face the truth
I cannot see myself with you
I feel my faith will not suffice
When you glare through my wondering eyes ...

Worst Intentions
You wanted to burn me
ever since you first saw me
I wont forget that day
your eyes were cold and grey
the hate gleaming from you
was striking those near you
you had me singled out
and wanted to take me down
You never wanted anything from me
so you loved me with the worst intentions
You just wanted me to feel misery
so you loved me with the worst intentions
(Chorus)
You put me in a dark cave
with no light to show the way
you blocked off all the exits
I felt like I did not exist
you...
ever since you first saw me
I wont forget that day
your eyes were cold and grey
the hate gleaming from you
was striking those near you
you had me singled out
and wanted to take me down
You never wanted anything from me
so you loved me with the worst intentions
You just wanted me to feel misery
so you loved me with the worst intentions
(Chorus)
You put me in a dark cave
with no light to show the way
you blocked off all the exits
I felt like I did not exist
you...

Suffocate and Decay
I am powerless
and so useless
and the only thing
that keeps me sane
is you
I am motionless
and so helpless
now I’m paralyzed
from all the lies
in you
-It’s a never ending struggle
being under your control
I watch my life circle the drain
And hold my breath as I pray
God, why can’t I be set free
Since there’s nothing left to believe
All I want to do is suffocate and decay- (Chorus)
I am losing it
My scars show it
and the only thing
that keeps me living
is...
and so useless
and the only thing
that keeps me sane
is you
I am motionless
and so helpless
now I’m paralyzed
from all the lies
in you
-It’s a never ending struggle
being under your control
I watch my life circle the drain
And hold my breath as I pray
God, why can’t I be set free
Since there’s nothing left to believe
All I want to do is suffocate and decay- (Chorus)
I am losing it
My scars show it
and the only thing
that keeps me living
is...
