Sleepless

Lay awake
As the night burns over
Stay afraid
As your mind sinks into the dark
Lay awake
Because you're broken
Stay afraid
Of the life, that is to come

Ghost

You’re a living ghost
Lingering around my day
Haunting my every thought
It's hard to come to terms
There’s no us left to hope for
Haunting all of my senses
Causing my dismay
Leaving me in purgatory
Cause it‘s killing me
To see you like this
I’m so afraid of how this will end
Cause I’m suffering
That will never change
I can never forget
You are my phantom
At night I can’t fall asleep
You’re haunting my every dream
My heads in the clouds
And my hearts overwhelmed
I need your face to comfort myself
But you’re a ghost to me now
It’s been hard not to decay
I’m going crazy in this silence
It’s hard to find purpose in the days,
When they’re quiet
Your absence exposes how little I have
And how insignificant I am
It’s killing me
To see you like this
I’m so afraid of how this will end
Cause I’m suffering
That will never change
I can never forget
You are my phantom
At night I can’t fall asleep
You’re haunting my every dream
My heads in the clouds
And my hearts overwhelmed
I need your face to comfort myself
But you’re a ghost to me now
You’re a ghost to me now
It's torture living here without you
But when we laid together it felt the same
Because there’s always been distance between us
I’ve tried my hardest to let you go
But you haunt me, ghost
You haunt me

Life in Delusion
03:33
|
|||
This constant labour to hide a sickness
Its hard to bear the light outside
scared of confrontation,
scared of commitment the past is my anchor and I’m
sinking
the warmth that wraps around me is the
substance I consume
the dark seems easier on tired eyes so it
becomes the home we chose
briefly release the struggle with a sedative,
it’s the only way I can get through this
when we leave, leave our minds
to escape the fight
this temporary fix for all the pain
medicated just to forget
there’s so much beauty in the haze
the life in which you’re caged
we find our comfort in diversion
it moulds in our behaviour
when consciousness is our burden and we’ve grown
accustom to our failure
But the distractions fade away and the
effects start to decay
Contained to being moderate Through our
lack of content
our fear of being something
when we leave, leave our minds
to escape the fight
this temporary fix for all the pain
medicated just to forget
there’s so much beauty in the haze
the life in which you’re caged

Retrospect
03:41

I’m so sorry for how I was
I know I was a lot to handle
But when you’ve been broken like I have
It’s hard to trust in love
Is the thought of me stuck in your head?
Or am I just a memory
Faded to the back of your mind
never to be seen
I’m writing this song here
while I’m empty
It’s the only time I can
because my bottle is the same
It’s hard to put it into words
How I feel these days
It’s hard to imagine things will change
Oh how I wish, Oh how I wish you’d stay
I just want to feel the beating of your chest
against my head again
When I fall asleep, frayed and bleak
I miss the way you held me close
I’m finding it hard to cope without you
I’m sorry I had to be this way
I couldn’t help it, I’m not okay
I’d rather die than watch you walk away
I’m finding it hard to focus
The closest I get to you is in my dreams
But I no longer sleep
The nights turn into mourning
My mind is my own hell
But you gave me strength to love myself
don’t want to admit I need your help
I just want to feel the beating of your chest
against my head again
When I fall asleep
frayed and bleak
I miss the way you held me close
I’m finding it hard to cope without you
I’m sorry I had to be this way
I couldn’t help it, I’m not okay
I’d rather die than watch you walk away
I can see that you don’t love me,
It’s no longer hard to tell
But all these chemicals in my brain
They just don’t work that well
I can’t argue that you’re leaving
I don’t like even like myself that much
So if I ever happen to drift off
I hope I don’t wake up

Ember
02:28

I remember the back of your neck
from when I laid down behind you
The smell of your hair, The scent of your shampoo
The way you’d hold onto me,
When you were going home soon,
Always held my hand when I had my issues
How you looked in that dress
The one that was dark blue
When you stumbled and fell
Dancing in your room
Clumsy as hell but you were the one who
Fixed me when I needed you to
My ember
My ember

Dark Shade
04:02

I feel condemned to die lonely
will that ever change?
I can’t let anyone in anymore
Because my past won’t fade
My mind frets unprovoked
Repeated in the rhythm of a clock
So i keep my walls built up
Just to get knocked down again
When I lose, lose my head
Cause this abandonment is all I’ve known
I won’t try to stop you when you go
I’ve got a burning desire
to be a man that never leaves
to be a little bit kinder
to myself when I’m in need
never taught, never saw
what love’s supposed to be
I’ve got a burning desire, so teach me
Growing up in separation
My colours run straight to grey
The stories I’ve lived, are often painted
With a dark shade
Cause no ever needed me
I’ve always been Disposable
No one ever needed me
I’ve always been left to suffer
On my own
I’ve got a burning desire
to be a man that never leaves
to be a little bit kinder
to myself when I’m in need
never taught, never saw
what love’s supposed to be
I’ve got a burning desire, so teach me
Teach me how to love
cause' I have given up
I’ve lived life left abandoned
and misunderstood
Teach me how to love
cause' I have given up
I’m just trying to be a better man
I’ve got a burning desire
to be a man that never leaves
to be a little bit kinder
to myself when I’m in need
never taught, never saw
what love’s supposed to be
I’ve got a burning desire, so teach me

Love/Deception
02:50
|
|||
I want to be the cancer rotting through your bones
The thoughts of me breaking you like sticks and stones
And when I’m on your breath I hope you choke
Further twist the knife in my chest and send me home
I was in doubt
and you promised me you loved me
Just days before you walked out
See how little your promises mean to me now
Cause i hate you, like I hate myself
but I could never love anyone else
and I’d hate to let you watch me drown
but you’re the only one who could ever pull me down
You were my perfection
but you never looked at me the same
my love for you was my deception
for how you really felt about me
Ill cut open my chest and rip out my heart
And give it to you as a gesture of all my love
Cause what I have given you has never seemed to be enough
I’ll never been enough
I hope you know I burnt the photos of us,
The lies that you wrote are scattered in the dust
You’re forever the darkest place in my heart
The one spot the lights is not
Cause I hate you, like I hate myself
but I could never love anyone else
and I’d hate to let you watch me drown
but you’re the only one who could ever pull me down
pull me down
