Hate
Hate can't be all that's left
All that's left to feel, I
there's no getting over this, I
reject this consciousness cause
I just can't let it go
hurts to still feel so low
Viva lost love
Pain
Days of pain as I count
I count the missing pieces I
count the days and I'm amazed at
how far we've come
still
I just can't let it go
hurts to still feel so low
Viva lost love
And I won't get better
Won't make it through
In unending night
I can't see it through
Viva lost love

Until you sleep
02:42
|
|||
|
All by yourself
Alone in grief
and I couldn't sleep
and I couldn't sleep
Abandon hope
In disbelief
And I couldn't breathe
And I couldn't
Leave it all behind and say good night
Leave it all behind and say I chose to live this way
Leave it all behind and say I'm never coming back
Leave it all behind
What's meant to be
Remains unseen
and I couldn't sleep
and I couldn't sleep
Viciously
it was make believe
And I couldn't breathe
And I couldn't
Leave it all behind and say good night
Leave it all behind and say I chose to live this way
Leave it all behind and say I'm never coming back
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind, behind

Pray for Rain
03:49
|
|||
|
Give me back the night
Cause I've been cursed
Nowhere to hide
It makes it worse
No use for exorcism
The devil's in my blood
I've made the wrong decision
I lost my heart
So I pray for rain
And I'll never dance again
Give me back the night
Prepare my hearse
I can't stand the light
It makes it worse
Don't talk about tomorrow
I barely live today
Despair and endless sorrow
It's all in vain
I pray for rain
And I'll never dance again
(Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh)

Medication
03:17
|
|||
|
I take my pills and fade away
trading in my soul for a day of conformity
You may think I'm doing well
You may think I'm doing well
But when the medication hits
I fail to recognise myself
And it hurts to say
I wouldn't make it either way
And it hurts to say
I can't go without
Medication
I spend another night awake
As shadows move
the fear sets in and comforts me
You may think I am in hell
You may think I am in hell
But when the medication fades
I barely recognise myself
And it hurts to say
I wouldn't make it either way
And it hurts to say
I can't live without
Medication

Pressure

Under pressure
I can't breathe in
Hey!
I never said no
I never let go
It doesn't feel right
It doesn't feel right
Hey!
My heart is giving out
My lungs are breaking down
And still it's more and more
And more and more and more
More - pressure - more
I can't breathe in
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't (I can't breathe in)
More
Under pressure
I can't breathe in
Hey!
I never said no
I never let go
I swear you're not alone
I swear you're not alone
Hey!
My heart is giving out
My lungs are breaking down
And still it's more and more and more and more and more
More - pressure - more
I can't breathe in
Under pressure
I can't breathe in
I can't breathe it out
I can't breathe it in

Nightside
03:16

The sun is gone
So what
I've been here before
Know my way out
Time moves slow
And I'm
forevermore
At home in the dark
Falling apart
They were right from the start
It’s not the end of the world
It’s not too late
There’s nothing to hold onto
Don’t be afraid
I'm sinking
I’m falling
And when you’re gone I
Seem to lose all sense of self
Forever outside
The colours fade
To sink and drown
Decisions made
They weigh me down
Just take a breath
There’s nothing to hold onto
It’s not so bad
I’m sinking
I’m falling apart
Forever outside
Falling apart
They were right from the start
It’s not the end of the world
Just take a breath
There’s nothing to hold onto
It’s not so bad
I’m falling

Night is gone
can’t find the dawn
I light the path and wander on
It takes too long
It takes too long
to get to home
To get to rest
My mind a mess
With aching flesh and broken bones
A waste of time
A waking mind
Now left behind
I see the signs
Now all is lost
I paid the price but I did not know the cost
(all is lost)
Something strange is happening
The sun refused to rise
We’re left with the starless skies
Demise Demise
Something strange is happening
I can’t see the road ahead
And the silence fills me with dread
Undead Undead
Something strange is happening
I can feel the air grow cold
As forever night unfolds
And a quiet fear takes hold
Night is gone
can’t find the dawn
I light the path and wander on
It takes too long
It takes too long
to get to home
To get to rest
My mind a mess
With aching flesh and broken bones
A waste of time
A waking mind
Now left behind
I see the signs and know that all is lost
I paid the price but I did not know the cost
All is lost

Felt this way
03:43

I know it won't get better
I know it won't get better from this
I know it's a bad habit
I know it's not forever
I know it won't get better
I know it won't get better from this
I know it wouldn't matter
I'm on a downward trajectory
And I've felt this way my whole life
I know it won't get better
I know it won't get better from this
I know it's a bad habit
I know it's not forever
I know it won't get better
I know it won't get better from this
I know it wouldn't matter
I'm on a downward trajectory
And I've felt this way my whole life

A letter to my future self
Drenched in sweat
Penned in blood and tears
Have you bravely fought despair
Has your back grown strong with the weight of the years
(I N R I)
And
I hope you’ll forgive me
For what I’ve put you through
I hope you’ll remember
These words I’ve left for you
I refuse to hate myself
don’t you forget now
Are you tired of tomorrow
Has your skin grown cold
Have the voices calmed
Inside your skull
Can I stoke the embers
One more time
In a world of ashes
Are you holding the line
(I N R I)
And I hope you’ll forgive me
For what I’ve put you through
And I hope you’ll remember
These words to live by
Let me remind you
And I will get better
I’ll make it through
In unending night
Let these words ring true
I refuse to hate myself
Don’t you forget now
