Dreaming of Heaven
How nice would it be to die tonight?
To go ahead and meet God tonight.
To finally take control of my life
And say goodbye to everything with my knife.
To go ahead and meet God tonight.
To finally take control of my life
And say goodbye to everything with my knife.

I'm not ok
For eight hours I can disappear
For eight hours I don't have to be here
It's my mind's time to check out
Free from life, the lies, the self-doubt
Shut my eyes let my mind drift off
I’ll embrace the dark and hope to dream again.
For eight hours I don't have to be here
It's my mind's time to check out
Free from life, the lies, the self-doubt
Shut my eyes let my mind drift off
I’ll embrace the dark and hope to dream again.

Rise
I love that you're broken like me.
Our fractured pieces fit together perfectly.
The strength in being broken allows us to forge a new, whole piece.
Because in order to create, you must first destroy.
And only the broken are eligible for ascendancy.
Our fractured pieces fit together perfectly.
The strength in being broken allows us to forge a new, whole piece.

Healing a Viper
Let the flames consume me
push the needle in slowly.
When I finally stop hating myself
I feel like I'll be free.
My eyelids got heavy.
I didn't see you across the room crying and shaking.
Hating yourself for staying with me.
It won't get better. I'm never going to change. You knew what I was when you picked me.
I'll never improve, you can't fix me,
You'll never be enough to heal me.
