The Albatross

Thinking back to some things that you've once done
Given no respect
Lift the curtain from the lie
We're both too young to die
This tale ain't pretty
A love that ran its course
Feeling numb and fucking done
Our lives have both just begun
Pain
Fuck your pain
I'll trade up this life
For one of my own
There was a time when we were both truly happy. We were friends, we were lovers in this fucked up life.
Those times have faded and it breaks my fucking heart.
Our time has ended
It breaks my fucking heart
It’s better, that’s clear
It breaks my fucking heart
We’ll both move on
It doesn’t feel fucking fair
Why can’t we be
The perfect fucking pair
I want to be the one.
Fine, I’ll go it alone.
These times are tough and now I’m on my own
It’s better, it’s great, that’s so fucking clear
The time I wasted begging for you, my dear
Fucking pointless
Thinking of all the things I still have to do
Not knowing what to expect
It’s the same old shit except without you
I will be fine
I’m quite alright
It’s sad to think you think you’re better off without me.

Poppycock

I tried not to think about you
It hurts when you come to mind
It hurts when I realize you are gone
My hero has died
Oh, I know you're still here with me metaphorically
You are the guide you are the path for me as the man I am and will become.
You keep me strong when I feel weak
Make me smile when things are bleak
Help my head stay high through the worst of times
You're apart of me
Taking my place on this throne
The king of kindness
King of holding my own
I felt so useless when you left us here
Now I'm alive and have abandoned this fear
Apathy is how I tend to cope
Screaming inside I feel so alone
Tearing me up inside
Tearing me up, Tearing me up
Tearing me
Tearing me up inside
Taken with no warning
An inspiration stripped from me
So many felt this loss
Another great one taken early
This man I loved with all my heart
Oh, I know you're still here with me metaphorically
You are the guide you are the path for me as the man I am and will become.
Oh, I know you're still here with me
You're still here

Feed Me Lies

Feed Me Lies
My hunger is growing
Please feed me more lies
Feed me lies
I feel so empty
So please fucking try
Feed me lies
The truth is fucked
I need this fantasy
One more time
I long to feel like
There is still hope for me
Growing rotten on the inside and turning out.
The desire to avoid the truth
Sick and tired of fueling this illusion
I've got to try
To break the mold
To save my mind
From losing itself
Feed Me Lies
My hunger is growing
Just feed me more lies
Feed me lies
I feel so empty
So please fucking try
Feed me lies
I need this life
To be the fantasy
One more time
I've lost hope
There is no help for me
I feel like I'm letting go
Stepping back from
These dillusions
Making progress
Seeing clearly
Gaining full control of myself again
Making myself stronger truly in the end
Finally feeling what life would be like
Being happy
What is this feeling?
I now know the truth
Back to reality
I feel brand new
What is this feeling?
I now know the truth
Back to reality
I feel brand new
I want to be more
Like my old self
Before I met you
and turned into someone else
Feed Me Lies
I don't need answers
Just feed me more fucking lies
Feed me lies
I feel so empty
Just feed me more lies
Split between us
My old self and my new
I'm not sure which one of me
I like better
For better or worse
What's happened to me?
Growing older
Making changes
Learning lessons
Getting better
Tired of all this
Fucked up bullshit
Yea, this is me
This is the new me

The Hate We Bring
03:20
|
|||
|
Making this wicked brew with love in mind
For all disciples to bless their tongues with cyanide
A sweet solution thoroughly mixed with ignorance
The only way to cleanse this compound of this mess
It all started with a love for being loved
A desire to control the fucking flesh
With a tongue so smooth
Very few could resist
These poisonous words will be our last
Die
We came to die
And the lord said
With faith we die
As he commands it
With good grace we’re
Maimed in belief by interlopers
We can’t have this freedom
Hate is what they say that we spread
They can’t see it’s love
Hated by the outside world
In this circle, there is no cold
Hated by the outside world
All we wanted was to belong
Maimed in belief by interlopers
We can’t have this choice
Hate is what they say that we preach
They can’t see it’s joy
The hate we spread
Brings joy to us
The love we preach
Has a bitter end
The day has come
To drink the drink
The drink of the gods
So we can finally meet
One by one
They drop like flies
One by one
They hit the dirt
Die
We came to die
And the lord said
With faith we’ll die
As he commands it
With good grace we’re
Killed by pride inside of this cult
We can’t live without it
Death is the lesson
that we have all learned
We were blinded by lies

On Becoming Dirt...
03:02
|

|
A fascination with the
End of existence
To feel the pain and worry just stop
What a dream
Sweet relief
In the form of destruction
This consciousness is ready to rest
Please
Bring me sleep
Let me rest
Take this weight
Off of my chest
My mind is tired
The body hurts
I'm ready to be left
In the dirt
Please
Bring me life by putting me into the ground
Bury me so deep that I cannot be found
Tell the police that I left without a sound
And when they weep please tell them this is what I wanted
It's what I wanted
It's what I needed
It's what I asked for
For this, I pleaded
I need to go to sleep for eternity
Is this what I am truly craving?
Is this what I truly am?
A restless soul ready to end this painful suffering?
I don't know what is worse
Living in pain or dying alone
Don't grieve for me
I'm doing just fine
Dead inside
I was never alive
