Lullaby

i won't struggle for amusement
sick of this abuse
neglect, denial, rejection
my teeth ground from my jaw
formerly a home
but fuck this place

i can’t get out of my head
so i turned off the lights
i'll just stay in my bed
i’ll be no where in sight
don’t wanna know about tomorrow
don’t wanna think about the past
out of time to borrow
i lost the fight for my life
so now I rot from the inside
my life is a tragedy
so don’t feel bad if you stab me
pass me another smoke
so i can start choking
yeah, i heard you talk
but i thought you were joking
the things that they say
they have no meaning
stay at the bottom
die if you wanna
i lost the fight for my life
so now i rot from inside
my life is a tragedy
i lost the fight for my life
so now i rot from the inside
my life is a tragedy
so don’t feel bad when you kill me

i’m done with all
of this stealing of my breath
every time i go outside
i’m greeted by death
is this the way that things are
supposed to be or not?
just don’t leave us all alone
we'll never work this out
in all those years, you'd never thought
you should leave
days to weeks to countless months
pulling teeth
in your eyes, he can't do wrong
don't hold your breath
lock the doors and down look down
it's getting kinda louder and it's never ever going to stop
things haven't been so great
you'd wear it on your sleeve if you could
apologies are all routine
he thinks you understood
and if you'd had it your way, you would watch him choke on everything he said
you want him dead
it's gone too long now and without resolve, we'll never see what's at the end
but he won't bend
in all those years, you'd never thought
you should leave
days and weeks and countless months
pulling teeth
in your eyes, he can't do wrong
don't hold your breath
lock the doors and down look down
you can't ignore the violence and it's never ever going to stop

sylvia sits on a poem she wrote
not showing to anyone
rewrite and rethink
ignite then extinguish
to the day extinct
to the night extinguished
sylvia stands tall again
and looks at what she could have been
without reason for shame
and everything stays the same
i take it all back

The Death of Us
03:21
|

boredom makes me alive
(and now i kill to survive)
and lie to all my friends
(about the shape im in)
satisfied never lasts
(it makes me live in the past)
the smoke i let will meet the rain
(and dissipate as fast)
i tried to crawl on my knees
(and through the broken glass)
we all agree that its fun
(i think enoughs enough)
ive made a mess of myself
(today and everyday)
and by the way
(things are not going great)
you fucking laughed again
when you stabbed my hands
wishing it had never boiled down to this
the room is full of water,
i’m drowning in my comfort
one day we will get what we deserve
now I know what to feel
(but don't know who to trust)
i fear the dark of this room
(will be the death of us)
another scam getting old
(do what youre fucking told)
another petty lie for God
(you traded in for gold)
you could have left this alone
(you could have ended this)
but you can’t help yourself
(you know you can’t resist)
rhe world is greedy still
(we’ll never feel fulfilled)
think I’ll have to leave
(before I pay the bill)
you fucking laughed again
when you stabbed my hands
wishing it had never boiled down to this
the room is full of water,
i’m drowning in my comfort
one day we will get what we deserve

i had fallen asleep at yr house
awoke to a breathe of cold air
we cried cuz you never wanted to leave
the light we’ll never see again
i won’t go begging on my knees
(i’ll push it down again)
for you to say goodbye
(we shed a little bit of guilt)
but soon, I'll join in
(together forever and ever)
dead; lying on the fucking floor
dead (dead dead)
can't ever go back
regret (regret regret)
everything you know
dead (dead dead)
and It's about time
regret (regret regret)
everything you know

High Anxiety
02:16
|
|||
|
your endless eyes got me locked down
stuck in my head
can’t turn around
this should be a crime
shouldn’t feel this way but i’m
thinking about you all the time
something in the way you walk
something in the way you
can’t stop talking
something in the way
i looked at you
so tell me now, what are we to do?
high anxiety
you always got something to give to me
and it’s killing me
yeah anxiety, you always got something to give to me
and it’s killing me

Absent

i’ve been down from this before
but i don’t think i’ve ever been this low
it’s such a chore
it’s got me acting different
and now you can’t defend yourself for being absent
this got fucked up
and i think i should go to bed
i want to be open minded
but i’ve been nihilistic instead
i’ve tried hard to change the angle
turn this thing around for once
but i felt strangled
and the lightbulbs flickered
i guess that i had never seen the bigger picture
i’ve said too much
you know that i opened up to you
so take it all for granted
because what else is new?
i’ve hurt myself this time
from getting close to you
and you've been feeling pretty empty
you came home fucked up too

Yer Words
04:28

alone again, i’ve crawled myself inside this empty space
and just today i realized that it’s not the only place
if nothing else, i’ll stop it all and never leave this bed
instead
i’ll smoke a few, i’m out the door and never seen again
you count your words
in disbelief, i recognized what hurt
you lost your words
you all will burn
and if none of this was real
and we get we deserve
you all will burn
you took too much, but who else in the world must need to know?
looking down, my socks are soaked
the bathtub overflowed
you count your words
in disbelief, i recognized what hurt
you lost your words
you all will burn
and if none of this was real
and we get we deserve
you all will burn

you haunted me
violently
and I can’t sleep
blood down your neck
in the bath
what a mess
cuz god is not the savior to the one’s who’ve fallen victim
to the bedroom you were locked in
the abuse that you had suffered
so
we know what you know
when did things go wrong?
held on so long
too far gone
and you
you haunted me for so long
but you never saw the
problems at all
cuz god is not the savior to the one’s who’ve fallen victim
to the bedroom you were locked in
the abuse that you had suffered
so
we know what you know
we’ll never see the light again
