Trapped in this room with a task at hand compelled to longing and loathing, wash me away let the current have its way with me, misdirected. A burden! Your wear and tear it seeps like the anguish bearing in your eyes a threshold all your life, "I see thru you" and I've been there before a state of pessimism and still you yearn for more. Take me as I am. And if I crumble, my balance deteriorates I've become restless, short of breathe The damage inflicted is present. If I collapse under this pressure [damaged beyond repair]. Leave me be! Your wear and tear it seeps like the anguish bearing in your eyes a threshold all your life, "I see thru you" and I've been there before a state of pessimism and still you yearn for more. Take me as I am. Hallow out my chest so my lungs may fill and never drain again descending to the bottom. Cut me deep so you can see the same blood "courses through your veins" this is our unison! Dissemble me no longer poise is this the eulogy? Was this by choice. "Fill this void"!

Aimlessly 02:42
Reoccurring withdrawals and sleepless nights, that will forever haunt me, thru all of this, I've chosen "to walk alone". Place your blame on me, it's time to! Reignite the flame, no fire burns in your eyes the position, has been set. A life fueled by despair and left to waste no longer treading aware of my surroundings "with nowhere to go." I've struggled to make ends meet. In response, you walk away ease yourself, rekindle the embers, "that once bled!" Bask in the comfort aim your pain directly at me! I'd love to know "your symptoms" I feel myself slipping. My conscience overwhelmed, this is my curse, so unbearable. Captive to my past and coming to terms with this I've allowed myself to lose. This isolation, isn't bringing me closer to closure, You built me up so could slowly tear me down, is this my breaking point the unbearing, still lingers! Bask in the comfort aim your pain directly at me! I want to know "your symptoms"! I feel myself slipping. My conscience overwhelmed this is my curse, so unbearable. To accept this is to accept defeat "this can't be real" to accept this  is to accept defeat "it's hard to believe" its time reignite the flames no fire burns in your, eyes the position has been set!

Scatter 02:51
A slave to my emotions its embedded and imprinted. Alleviate these impurities. If you walk away then you appease to those who cast away their own stability. "Leave a mark''. Inner bits my existence fade seeing red, wishing my vision would shatter for far too long, I've been masking my suffering!I won't give up, my ground. Scatter my ashes till they dissolve into debris. "The distance between you and I" the noose around my neck is piercing Losing my voice, is this? What it's come to! At the end, I'm left with nothing, else to give, a continuation, a struggle that, most will never comprehend, uncertainty will bind us! I'd go thru hell for you worlds apart, convictions drag me down I won't cope so easily. Am I fit for this or will I crumble under pressure will I find comfort in my skin! Enduring every step. With so little to lose, abandon me. Discarded and reduced to numbing confine me. In the same soil of this hell we call our home!

Damaged 03:33
Useless I have felt tethered down and left to face the current no longer willing to take steps backwards here I am again, at the point of, no return and I refuse, I refuse to let you in! Wrap yourself around me, constricting me of being able to move. The unsettling wakes feelings like I've never known. These memories will elude us of our helplessness and may they rid you of your hurt! My exhaustions displayed here I am again. "Got nowhere to go with you it felt like home this time I'm moving slow so you can take control" Wrap yourself around me, constricting me of being able to move. The unsettling wakes feelings like I've never known. These memories will elude us of our helplessness and may they rid you of your hurt! Here I am again forced to face the current illusions I can't convey. Trapped in a world that wasn't meant for me. Bare bones exposed, this isn't guilt, it's a mere reflection, of a life I'm not suppose to live! Got nowhere to go with you it felt like home this time I'm moving slow so you can take control" A war," that only coexist within my mind" exist within my mind! Here I am again, my exhaustion on display. Coexist within my mind!

You & I 02:20
My bones are aching! From chasing images and others that want nothing to do with me. I cling to the past, and it puts me in such immense pain, "I know" it's only temporary. I watched you cave, replace the empty that resides within, I watched you cave over and over again. Cement yourself in my thoughts have you ever felt jaded? Autumn leafs descending to signify. Is this it? , detach yourself from the scars. I hope you find peace so the healing may start! And when you took your leave I lost a piece of me! Misplaced blame. I watched you fall apart, unable to do a thing. somethings will never change! Imprisoned to my own conscious old habits running thru my head. Without you I feel nothing, just a soul I'm longing to find a purpose. I am a void and I am losing grip, my worlds turned a whole.

Lay your words on me your incentive is clear as always and in someway it resembles, complacency. Blinded by frustration, effortless attempts to perpetuate your essence, fade away. You struggle to find a balance while rooted to misfortune and uncertainty. I watched your world cave in and every step you paved, only made things difficult, pace yourself. Spiritually refrained my head was playing games. The need to make a change tread lightly. Don't wanna be refined it feels I'm losing time nows the time to try tread lightly. Lay your words on me your incentive is clear as always and in someway it resembles, complacency. Blinded by frustration, effortless attempts to perpetuate your essence, drift away. you vanished without trace! your spirit dissipates, you've driven yourself into stasis, "dig deep!" is this what it's come to pace yourself, mountains of turmoil Spiritually refrained my head was playing games. The need to make a change tread lightly. Don't wanna be refined it feels I'm losing time nows the time to try tread lightly. "If I lose you, then I lose myself" "will I slip into, unconsciousness" "or collapse before, it sets in'' "forgive me and forget me" I couldn't save you! And I'm left to deal with it. May I slip into unconsciousness before it sets. Here we are once more forgive me, forget me my life is yours to destroy!
