Lapse

I'm old enough to know real pain
And young enough to make it a chore
Open arms reveal bruised lungs underneath
Celebrating a disaster
I can't see you
Ripped apart by the truth
A saddened face
It's better this way
I couldn't even fucking breathe
Eyes wide open, but I could barely see
A liquid hook and willing lips
Glazed over glass and eyelids
30 below fingertips
I can't read you
Shattered by repetition
Drown me in the lake
It's better this way

The Imposter

Imposter
Fake
Who's hiding behind that face?
Chloroform inside your fucking brain
Breaking your hands and feeding you insects
Changing your eyes and deluding your mindset
Your'e not the same
Gone for 3 years and 120 days
Now when i think about the rain
All I feel is your pain

No November

Let's play pretend
And act like everything's alright
We sigh with discontent
As we all turn out the lights
Because no November has felt like this
We turn away with disgust at the faces that we used to kiss
I haven't aged since Tuesday
I had to find a new way
Did you humidify this air?
I find it hard not to stare
And no November has been as cold as this
We crumple and burn the pictures of the faces that we used to kiss
There's no time in your eyes
Theres no time for me
There's no time in your eyes
There's no time for me
I'm so tired
So uninspired

Wounded

Holding on with one hand
I fell with the leaves
Left the hole in my heart
To fit to her key
And never knowing where you are
Has left this feeling in my heart
Pick apart my wounds
Change the bandages at noon
I'll be riding VIP
Straight to the emergency room
And never knowing where you are
Has left no feeling in my heart
I won't be going out after dark

Heart attack and never look back
When you cant feel your legs it's all part of her plan
Wash you up and make you feel rough
At the bottom of a bottle, she's wishing you good luck
I know this will probably show
You have me in the palm of your hand
Heart attack and never look back
Makes your insides explode and your liver turn black
Will it be 4, or maybe 30 more?
What's the difference when you melt right into the floor
You have me in the palm of your hand
I know this will probably show

Letdown

I'll never be okay
I realized that today
And all these dreams I have
Are left to rot inside my head
I still feel bad
Thinking back to what we had
I've seen my share of things
To know I'm not to blame
Nothing can replace
I just want to turn a page
And all the time I had
Was inside my head
All the days I spent
Wishing I was dead
It's healthy, or so they speak
At least these cuts are nice and clean
I saw myself today
And no, I'm not the same
Your hands could help me turn a page
But you can't hear a word I say

When I Die
03:03

Not how I thought this would end
Lying next to my best friend
When I die
Don't cry
Because life goes on
When I die
Don't cry
Because this is what I truly want
They'll tear down our crosses on the hill
They'll tear down the building where blood was spilled
When I die
Don't cry
Because life goes on
When I die
Don't cry
Because this is truly what I want
I was wrong
Wrong

Cherish & Regret

This air in my lungs
Don't belong there
And this skin on my bones
Well the world don't care
I've been hiding myself away
My secrets are as plain as day
Nobody feels my pain
Let's just keep it that way
And they'll see when I'm gone
Just how wrong everything was
I watch everybody else with their lives
Movie like existences in real time
While I exist in shallow space and time
Bored and lonely
With no frame of mind
