Blind eyes turn, somethings missing Overwhelmed but I won’t listen. I refuse, this don’t feel right Nothings helping shut out the light. This peaceful paradise comes crashing down on me, A spotlight shines so bright that I can finally see, Distant voices try to tell me to stay strong, I’ll make sure your memory lives on. My Ignorance, Your indifference, I won’t let you down. My Ignorance, Your indifference, You’ll live on in my mind. Weeks have passed, I’ve been thinking, You’re still gone, it just won’t sink in. I’ve realised what I’ve denied, The thought of you, by my side. This peaceful paradise comes crashing down on me, A spotlight shines so bright that I can finally see, Distant voices try to tell me to stay strong, I’ll make sure your memory lives on. My Ignorance, Your indifference, I won’t let you down. My Ignorance, Your indifference, You’ll live on in my mind.

Lock & Keep 04:12
This, This moment, Thoughts rushing through my head, This isn’t what I wanted. You, You’ve left, You’re gone without a trace, This earth that you’ve abandoned. What if I can’t take the leap? I try my best to lock and keep, All of the thoughts stuck in my head, Cause maybe I’m just in too deep, And what if I can’t say goodbye? What if I’m not good enough? I try so hard to cover-up, The thoughts and feelings that I miss, The moments that I reminisce, I miss you so, I can’t let go. That day, It came as quite a shock, What had truly happened. This is it, The end had come and pass, We all could not believe it. You were gone, I couldn’t feel a thing, The world was cold and empty What if I can’t take the leap? I try my best to lock and keep, All of the thoughts stuck in my head, Cause maybe I’m just in too deep, And what if I can’t say goodbye? What if I’m not good enough? I try so hard to cover-up, The thoughts and feelings that I miss, The moments that I reminisce, I miss you so, I can’t let go. Though you’ve passed on I’ll try and carry on You’ll always be here with me And I won’t forget you.

Serpent 02:24
Look, who’s that over there, The girl with lush brown hair I can’t decide if she’s an angel or my kryptonite Then, I made a dumb mistake, I tried my best to make sure that I looked the part, then walked towards my broken heart Thought you were good for me I guessed I fucked it up ‘Cause you’re more like a serpent, Look what you’ve done to me, A lonely kid without a purpose, A lock without a key. Your venom’s runnin through me, And there’s no goin back, You’ll take all you want from me And I’ll have a heart attack Now, a few months down the road, the cracks begin to show, you don’t act like your face and I just feel so out of place, And now, I’m standing all alone, you just hung up the phone and I refuse to see, the strings that you’ve designed for me Thought you were good for me I guessed I fucked it up, again! ‘Cause you’re more like a serpent, Look what you’ve done to me, A lonely kid without a purpose, A lock without a key. Your venom’s runnin through me, And there’s no goin back, You’ll take all you want from me And I’ll have a heart attack. ‘Cause you’re more like a serpent, Look what you’ve done to me, A lonely kid without a purpose, A lock without a key. Your venom’s runnin through me, And there’s no goin back, You’ll take all you want from me And I’ll have a heart attack

Are you so blind, can you not see? Just how good you had it here with me. Life was great but you fucked it up, And now we’re stuck in this mess. And it’s endless, And you’re relentless. Why can’t all this shit just end, Why am I fucked up in the head. Damage, death & too much (FREE TIME) I just can’t see what I did wrong. Left me with is shit, had enough it, I don’t know where I belong. Damage, death & too much (FREE TIME) Why would you do this to me? You’re 6 feet below, now I’m on my own, With a weight that I can’t carry. This is all your fault, I blame this all on you. If you’d put the effort in. Then maybe we’d have gotten through. How am I to live? With all this new found rage. But now we’re through so fuck you too, I hope I never see you again. Damage, death & too much (FREE TIME) I just can’t see what I did wrong. Left me with is shit, had enough it, I don’t know where I belong. Damage, death & too much (FREE TIME) Why would you do this to me? You’re 6 feet below, now I’m on my own, With a weight that I can’t carry.

Locked out of my mind again, I can't think for myself. I'm losing faith, I'm losing hope, I'm losing everything I am. Try to treat this, I can't leave this, And there's no pill I've tried, That fucking works. So just let me lie here, And don't leave me to die. Can't see, Can't breathe, There's darkness trapped inside. And I need you, To unlock the door from the other side. And I... Can't take this anymore. These thoughts pound my head like thunder, Just don't let me go under. Blood is pumping through my veins, Or maybe it's just tar. A broken heart, A nasty scar, Left on me eternally. Tried to fix it, Try to mend it, But there's no remedy. So scrap what's left, Start again but don't forget me. Can't see, Can't breathe, There's darkness trapped inside. And I need you, To unlock the door from the other side. And I... Can't take this anymore. These thoughts pound my head like thunder, Just don't let me go under.

Dancing by candlelight, Watching the sunset by your side, These thoughts won’t fade with time. And then as the light burns out, We watch the stars up in sky. How could that be goodbye? Can’t you see? Im down here on my knees, Begging you please, To come home. I’m so scared, That I’m beyond repair, Stranded with nowhere to go. Where do we go from here? Watching you drown in your own fear. You’re still the same kid that I knew. But stay strong, carry on, I’ll be there when you’re all alone. In the dark, you fall apart. But I’ll be there to build you back up again, Yeah I’ll make you whole again. Can’t you see? Im down here on my knees, Begging you please, To come home. I’m so scared, That I’m beyond repair, Stranded with nowhere to go. Can’t you see? I’m down here on my knees, Begging you please, To come home. I’m so scared, That I’m beyond repair, Stranded with nowhere to go. Don’t know what’s happening, Voices inside, Tell me I’m so alone. Can’t you see? I would do anything, Should’ve been me and not you.

[REDACTED] 03:48
A chemical imbalance, It’s sending me insane, But I’m okay with silence. The voices disappear, I can’t believe it’s been a year, Since I’ve started taking meds, They help me with my head- -ache, I know it seems pathetic. But fuck it, there, I said it, And no, I don’t regret it. So lock me in a cell, Cause I’m in my own private hell. But really I’m fine just by myself, With my my mind up on the shelf. My mind, Is scattered into a million little pieces. Like a jigsaw with no sides, Like a puzzle with no guide. I try to figure it out, Traversing the maze in my mind. I’ve got this pit down in my stomach, It makes feel so sick. I’m tired of the tricks, They know what makes me tick. And it’s funny cause they treat me like I’m wounded, But I’m not fucking stupid. My mind, Is scattered into a million little pieces. Like a jigsaw with no sides, Like a puzzle with no guide. I try to figure it out, Traversing the maze in my mind.

Bleak 02:28
There’s a rope, Hanging on a tree, Leaves are red and falling. Grass no longer green, A dark shadow looms, Grey and empty tomb. It’s like a ghost house Where it’s only me, I will set my soul free. Bleak and abandoned, Damage takes it’s toll, Swallowing me whole. Depths of confusion, Why did I ruin it all? A silent wrecking ball. No use in fighting, So why don’t you just let go And jump

As of Now 04:22
Turning over a new leaf, Closing off this chapter of my life, Cause I’m sick of all the strife it’s caused me. Been waiting for this day, When the clouds finally gave way, When I see skies of blue, Then all I think about is you. And as of now I’ve learned to see, The beauty inside me. And as of now I feel, Like I am finally free. I can’t keep running away from all my fears, I know tomorrow will be better than today. And now I feel brand new, Free of all these chains, I was trapped in a cage, But now I’ve let out all my rage. I really should be dead, Submerged inside the depths of my own head, And my wrists are blood-stained red. But as of now I’ve learned to see, The beauty inside me. And as of now I feel, Like I am finally free. I can’t keep running away from all my fears, I know tomorrow will be better than today.

I couldn’t see it, It just caught me by surprise. Though eventually it would come to be, A blessing in disguise. Didn’t believe it, The pain behind your eyes. It’s difficult to carry on, When someone you love dies. I’d never forget you, Didn’t want to cut you off, I’m not used to dealing with all the grief that comes with loss. It made me so angry, Yeah it drove me fucking mad, Like you didn’t even care about the memories that we had. Now I know I’m not on my own. And I, I wonder if you’re having fun up there. I hope you’re doing better now, I hope you’ve been repaired. And I, I hope you’re up there looking down on me. And I hope I make you happy and proud, And I didn’t let you down. I begged you to help me, I asked you not to let me drown. In all the thoughts up in my head, The ones that kept me anchored down. Then I tried to join you, Couldn’t deal with all this pain, I hope you’re sitting tight cause I’ll be seeing you again. Now I know I’m not on my own. And I, I wonder if you’re having fun up there. I hope you’re doing better now, I hope you’ve been repaired. And I, I hope you’re up there looking down on me. And I hope I make you happy and proud, And I didn’t let you down.

Tryna think of how to write this song, I’m lost for words at how you carry on, With your life. When you’re the only thing that can I think about. No matter what you say I’m listening, When you’re here silence ain’t deafening, Anymore. I think I’ve found what I’ve been looking for. Staring out at blue horizons, Navigating this maze in me. I’m struggling to stay afloat, It’s like I’m stranded out at sea But you, you’re like my life boat, Pull me out from underneath. Then we go to bed, And put this cycle on repeat. I don’t know if I should feel like this, And it’s something I can’t describe. It’s like I’m falling down a well, But I’m not afraid to hit the ground. You taught me how feel again, And how to let go of my past. Before you all I knew was pain, Now I know it doesn’t last. Staring out at blue horizons, Navigating this maze in me. I’m struggling to stay afloat, It’s like I’m stranded out at sea But you, you’re like my life boat, Pull me out from underneath. Then we go to bed, And put this cycle on repeat.
