Heavy eyes Desperate cries I can't stop my thoughts from racing So I guess I'll just sleep them away I can't face another day So I guess I'll just sleep it away I always needed you But now you're just a memory I let you slip away Now all that's left is the struggle to forgive myself I feel so lost and alone I can't leave 'cause this is all I have ever known I feel so lost and alone All I want is a reason to exist We are beautiful when we close our eyes The world shuts out and time begins to fly No one can hurt you and everything is gray It's the perfect way to escape The fact that you didn't stay Can I start again? Heavy eyes Have I always felt this way? Desperate cries Was I always wired this way? I can't stop my thoughts from racing So I guess I'll just sleep them away I can't face another day So I guess I'll just sleep it away We are beautiful when we close our eyes The world shuts out and time begins to fly No one can hurt you and everything is gray It's the perfect way to escape The fact that you didn't stay Ooh, you didn't stay Heavy eyes Desperate cries

Trapped in a void Confined with no voice I've accepted the noise that consumes me No strength to ignore Face down on the floor I've blocked out the light that revives me How will this end? Blacked out in a world that is lifeless I'm in love with this feeling of crisis I just accept it It's who I am There's no escaping It's all part of the plan I could take the easy way out but I deserve to suffer Clinging on to misery like it's a shelter The thought of getting out is just a waste of breath I'd give you my all, but there's no use I have nothing left I spent so much time just searching For a way to you with no avail But I found myself in circles In a desperate try to bring you back into my life Blacked out in a world that is lifeless I'm in love with this feeling of crisis I just accept it It's who I am There's no escaping It's all part of the plan

Heavy Rain 03:34
We were kids with no sense of direction Our parents saw it in their own reflections Fucked up and consumed by religion They drank themselves into oblivion Your father used to lie through his teeth Consumed by his vices beyond belief There were no signs of hope The truth is we always begged for an overdose I know it's too late and you're dead and gone But I wish I could have exposed what was so fucking wrong I hope the guilt keeps them awake at night I haven't felt the same since the day that you died Nothing lasts but I thought you would Looking back, you were misunderstood But now, you're in the past and there's nothing to say You paid the price and they looked the other way Where I'm now is a place I can't stand Too many questions unanswered I'm a worthless man It's done, it's done I'm done, I'm done I can't feel a thing anymore I'm so fucking numb Looking back, we were too young to understand They always said it was just part of God's plan That's such a poor excuse for what he did He was a coward with a fist and you were just a defenseless kid I always play it different in my head The ways it could have gone instead I was always told to never say never But now I know there's no such thing as forever

Collapse 04:18
I lay wide awake at night Knowing I won't sleep Days are passing by Anxiousness will bury me I'm so lost in this blizzard in my head I'm envious of the dead A melody without a rhythm No grace to uphold Surrounded by panic There's nothing else to enfold You're still haunting me I feel I'll never really leave There's nothing left of me You drained my life I'm incomplete We take our time But that's all we have I'd rather die than let this moment last I've been searching for answers To find some sort of absolution But nothing matters in a life of disillusion I can't begin to put myself back together Do I trace the past that lead me here? Is this a dream? Tell me something Tell me anything Am I lowering my grave? Is there more to life than this? Just say anything I'm only human There''s only so much I can take Give me a reason to cut my losses I'm still losing faith We take our time But that's all we have I'd rather die than let this moment last I've been searching for answers To find some sort of absolution But nothing matters in a life of disillusion

Give Up 04:32
What use are my lungs if I'm barely breathing? What use is this heart if it's barely beating? I'm wishing this was all just a fucked up dream I'm searching for peace I want to sleep for eternity We've buried our tracks I've walked this path on broken glass I've waited for this moment and there's no turning back Wasting a lifetime making all of the wrong choices Speaking up only strikes fear into the voiceless (Pace.) I buried my soul (Breath.) Without a coffin so it (Collect.) Could still seize an opportunity (Must) To break free from the (resist) Claws of reality And the obstacles in my way (death.) (Erase.) But the past won't let me No, they won't let me go (Repeat.) The world has different plans I can't do this on my own (Emotions) I need somebody to lean on When time starts to stand still I'm starting to learn I'm only human (flee.) And it's okay not to know what to do What use are my lungs if I'm barely breathing? I saw the look on your face but looks can be deceiving What use is this heart if it's barely beating? I'll never be more than this and you know I can't resist the pain
