It’s been a few years, I’m only seeing it now. We had a long run, you were never around. I kept my distance but your persistence was key. I’m all alone now, I’m finally free.
I kind of want to watch you burn just a bit. Another lesson learned, but what do I get? Watch me in the glass house. Throw your stones and lash out. Burn after reading and cover up all your feelings. The lies roll off of your tongue. My head is spinning, I’m spun. Hang me to dry and just get out of my fucking life.
Careless and broken, just like you know that you are. Keep me brain dead, help me forget that I’m upset by your charm. I’m not caring about what used to be. I’ve blocked everything out of my memory. Ignorance is bliss.
I can’t forget our history. Don’t come back to me. I chose to leave when you weren’t a part of me, and now I thrive off your misery.
I’ve fell for worse, but you insisted on heartache. I can’t reverse what you failed to have started.
Careless and broken, just like you know that you are. Keep me brain dead, help me forget that I’m upset by your charm. I’m not caring about what used to be. I’ve blocked everything out of my memory. Ignorance is bliss.

Love Them and Leave Them
03:15

So what is the problem? A mistake and a habit, both I can stop any time. Can you solve them? It takes two to connect in distress. Please don’t be wasting my time. You said leave my name at the door (I don’t wanna know, maybe I should go). Craving body heat and rest. I take off my clothes and you help me forget.
I’ll cross my name off the list.
Love them and leave them. Pretend that it’s perfect. The feeling is worthless, I’ll do it again. Waiting for sunset when all of the drugs hit. I’m feeling indifferent but its all in my head. Who’s listening anyway? And feeling the god damn same? Replacing the static in my brain - love them and leave them.
You can spend the night if you need. We can rearrange these sheets. A place to rest our heads. Not one of us knows who’s depressed. I’ll be on my way if that’s your wish.
I’ll cross my name off the list.
We shed our skin, careless and high again. We act like we’ve never met. You let me in, now we both know what comes next. You say you love me with your eyes, but we both know it’s just…
Love them and leave them - I’ll do it again.

I suffer, I beg, and I plead. I suffer, you do it for me.
Case and point, slowly becoming what you want. Scared and nervous, what you asked for - make me something I’m not. Could you ever believe that you’re the one who controls my sanity?
You said I'd be safe if I stayed with you. (And everyday I remind you)
Too little too late, now I know the truth. You’re the reason I don’t want to live.
What do we do from here? The effort is lost once again. If I let you in will you still pretend that I need you for my head to be clear?
You said I'd be safe if I stayed with you. (And everyday I remind you)
Too little too late, now I know the truth. You’re the reason I don’t want to live.
Let me fall asleep, you’re keeping me up. I’m not counting on these sheep. I’m counting all the love I’ve lost, the days I’ve spent inside my head. I pray for death. Give me a reason to want to exist.
You said id be safe if I stayed with you (And everyday I remind you)
Too little too late, now I know the truth. You’re the reason I don’t want to live.
I was just a mistake to your selfish ruse. (Rewire my brain so I can’t choose)
A little too late, now I know the truth. You’re the reason I don’t want to live.

Hollow Tears
02:50
|

|
I’m laying in fallen leaves now. Watch the weather change. I’m accompanied by your ghost. How fitting since you left without somewhere to stay. When you’re close by I feel it surround me, just like it did when you were clean.
Now I’ve got something to say and you’re not around. Yeah, I got something to say.
Why does lonely feel so cold? You can save me from your hollow tears. Can’t take back all you stole. You can ask yourself why you’re still here.
You dug a grave too deep. What you want’s out of reach. Buried in your mind again, relying on borrowed time. Spiralling out your head. Who’s the victim, what comes next? No truth can come from liars' tongues. Yeah, I got something to say.
Why does lonely feel so cold? You can save me from your hollow tears. Can’t take back all you stole. You can ask yourself why you’re still here. Never going to change your ways. You’ve stolen time and wasted days. So why does lonely feel so cold?
And you’re only getting worse with time. You can spare me all the tactic lies. I see you running for your worthless life. Ask yourself why you’re still here.

Waste of Breath
03:04
|

|
Wasted, they know you're name at the bar. Can’t ever pay your way, you’ll tell them all that you are famous. Now you’re just playing a fool. We can tell when you lie. Your head, it spins like the room.
You carry artificial memories in the back of your head. Is that really what happened?
How do you sleep now? All alone in bed with the scent of cigarettes. Try to make peace now. I was never your friend and you’re just another waste of breath.
It’s amazing how you can switch on and off between being upset and blaming others for your pain. Yeah, you never play by the rules. You talk about death like it’s not coming for you.
Misplace sincerity and lose all self respect. You can’t believe that happened.
How do you sleep now? All alone in bed with the scent of cigarettes. Try to make peace now. I was never your friend and you’re just another waste of breath.
Life isn’t all a test. Stop thinking you’re alone. Act like you’re suffering? This is the life you chose. Why do we all have to pay for the mistakes that you’ve made?
How do you sleep now? All alone in bed with the scent of cigarettes. Try to make peace now. I was never your friend and you’re just another waste of breath.

Catch Your Eye
03:03
|
|||
|
You’re starting to surface. How is that good for me in the end? When you smile it’s worthless and I hate all the ways in which you pretend. I tried to block you out, erase memories. I’m overshadowed now. You’re so tongue in cheek.
Manipulate and operate the young and weak.
How am I supposed to just float by while you get everything? You wanna lay me down and watch me die. Let me waste away. Why did I have to catch your eye? So how am I supposed to just float by?
Confide in me and use me up. Drowning in the half empty cup. Losing interest in three years progress. Am I something that you never wanted? Drag me down 'til there’s nothing left. Am I still the promise you never kept?
Do you care for me or do you worry? Either way I am not happy. Whatever it is that you see, whatever it is that happened, whatever it is I can’t be, I am burning out like matches.
How am I supposed to just float by while you get everything? You wanna lay me down and watch me die. Let me waste away. Why did I have to catch your eye? So how am I supposed to just float by?

Adored

Adored. I’m wishing I was, I wish I wasn’t torn. Am I going to waste my time on nothing more? You’re ugly on the inside, prove me wrong. You’ll just forget about me, you got what you want.
You got you’re way out of frame. Are you just lashing out? Now I see what you can’t, so leave me and pretend to love me in the end. I wish that I was adored.
Now here’s a promise I can finally keep. I’ll cut you off, you’ll never hear from me. Not one more second of these lust filled nights. Can you leave? I’m feeling nauseas, sick of you in my sight. On display, my hard work. Change your ways. Don’t get what you don’t deserve.
You got your way out of frame. Are you just lashing out? Now I see what you can’t. So leave me and pretend to love me in the end. I wish that I was adored.
Vacant, my heart had space for you. Now it’s dormant. Hard enough to say goodbye. We’re out off time.
You got your way out of frame. Are you just lashing out? Now I see what you can’t. So leave me and pretend to love me in the end. I wish that I was adored.

Fail To Speak
02:56
|
|||
|
Come and get me, 'cause I’m stuck here. My mind is hazy, wrong, and numb. My eyes are bloodshot, I’ve come undone. Can you hear me from up there? I thought of yelling your name but I’m in fear. You’re a phone call away, but I’ll stay clear. I’m falling down all the steps that brought me here.
Put the weight on me, young and still naive. You’re so great with your words, and I fail to speak. Maybe we can now forget what being selfish is.
You worry too much. Now I’m running away from all the problems, all the drugs that can not solve them. But you’re so sorry now that you lead me blind and you say that love comes with trust in time. But it’s all my fault, you were never mine. Don’t get me started.
Put the weight on me, young and still naive. You’re so great with your words, and I fail to speak. Maybe we can now forget what being selfish is.

Rest in the Dirt
02:53
|
|||
|
I’m bordering the line between conversation and silence. I’ve never been so on display - no sense in trying to hide it.
Walk away from all of you to show myself what I can prove. Death before you was all that I could confide in.
Do I throw it all away?
Who will listen when I’m all out of words? And who will cry when I’m leaving this earth? Is it different if I pray before it ends? Am I destined to rest in the dirt?
I’ve never tried. I’ve always lied just so I could be different. I wanted to, but because of you I’m alive and im trying.
Do it throw it all away or live another day?
Who will listen when I’m all out of words? And who will cry when I’m leaving this earth? Is it different if I pray before it ends? Am I destined to rest in the dirt?
If you listen you can hear that it hurts (if you’re listening). It’s safe to say that I’m doing much worse. A vacancy, another voice goes unheard. Who will listen when I’m all out of words?

Time Won't Heal
03:01
|
|||

I think things will get worse for us. I’m spent as the day you left, and you’ve been lying since the day we met. And I think you’re someone that I can trust. And I tend to bend and fold. So how do you ever get over something that’s never been under your control?
I can’t do this anymore. I’m trying to hold my breath. I’m tired of the endless back and forth. I could be anywhere else instead. I’m here, alive and well, but it’s almost like I’m living in my own hell. I don’t want to do this anymore.
Time won’t heal.
I wouldn’t let you get away, but you’ve lost all of my respect. It’s like I’ve been three years sober but you don’t understand you’re fucking with my head. Your loss, my gain. You can’t restrain someone who’s sensitive to your pain. Think about me for once and change.
I can’t do this anymore. I’m trying to hold my breath. I’m tired of the endless back and forth. I could be anywhere else instead. I’m here, alive and well, but it’s almost like I’m living in my own hell. I don’t want to do this anymore.
Time won’t heal.
