Living 01:24

As the world spins And I stand still All these empty days That I can't fill Your sorrow eyes and hollow mind You were everything that I'd need Now you only live in my mind Please don't leave please don't leave Still I hear the things That you once said Like the time you whispered "I never want this to end" As these days fade away And I lay alone in bed I feel empty all the time Since you've been hanging by your thread And I can't believe the sight Of you closer to the edge Just come back five steps Cause I don't want this to end But you're so lost Inside your head As you waste away I think you're better off dead But you won't hear me speak Cause i'll be gone You'll be fine without me Cause life goes on
3.
And I can't keep my mouth shut I should have just stayed home I'm a fucking piece of shit I hope I die alone Feel the autumn breeze There's nothing here for me Feel the autumn breeze I'll die happily I'm such a fucking mess I know I don't belong If I was nothing with out you I was nothing all along

Treading 04:17
It feels like I'm drowning all the time I just struggle for air in hopes I get out alive You just sit here and waste away You just smoke till it hurts and wait for the day The day that I need you again To make me feel less lonely and anxious inside my head Cause I feel like I'm dying all the time I just pray and I pray and I pray that I'm doing alright Cause you said you're drowning all the time You just struggle and struggle and struggle in hopes you survive As I just sit here and waste away I just smoke till hurts and wait for the day The day that you need me again To make you feel less lonely and anxious inside your head The day that you leave me again But I know and You know and we know that you're already dead

You lay there lying in the grass All i heard was how much time has passed Never thought that it would die this fast But i guess you're right, our time has passed You had to go There was no time You had to go (And I wish it didn't make such mess) Crashing my car (Into the the trees that you used to live by) So you could see, what you do to me I gave my all, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the sun You'll stick around like the smoke in my lungs So sick of carrying weight So sick of carrying weight Atleast I can say that I tried I'll give you all that's mine I'll break my self for you I'll drive all night for you I'll drive through inches of snow Without nowhere to go Annnnnnnnnnnd You won't bring me back again Actions speak louder then your cries Actions speak louder then your lies

Head Cold 03:21
Throw me away I've seen much better days You left me alone But I cant feel this way I lay in my bed Contenplate why Why is it I cant feel nothing for life I try to help but the guilt kicks in Wondering why it has to end this way The earth still spins as people walk Break me away I've seen much better days Maybe I'll give up All my hope I have invested in this World I know I strive for optimism but I can't hold on I try to open my eyes But it's already gone
7.
Windchill 04:28
I wrote you a letter I don't think you'll see it But I can't reach you You're too far gone Winter feels like forever When you're just passing time When you've lost all your meaning You've lost your life Your ghost, still haunt this home Hoping to find you one day Pale skin, and bright green eyes Begging for you just to stay Old songs, still in my head Ring out until I can't hear Nightmares coming to life And you were my biggest fear You're hollow Just like these winter months You're so empty But you felt so alive to the touch I heard your voice You were right here where you belonged Within my reach But I woke up and you were gone And I'm always living in false hope That youll come back to me and say that you're sorry And that I was right all along I heard your voice again today You softly spoke my name You rested your head But You were never there
8.
Lacuna 04:28
It hits like the wind on a cold bitter night Just like the feeling consciously growing blind To everything That surrounds you When you were like me With nothing to lose You said forever I heard you promise You said forever You broke your promise I hope that this song rips you apart The same way that you did to me And I hope when you're out there alone in the wind The feeling reminds you of me (And how that) You said forever I heard you promise You said forever You broke your promise
9.
Skin 04:15
My skin The seven paper layers where I live Lighter than a feather in the wind With no consent on where I'm going The only thing I know is floating I guess I'm just not meant for this I guess I wasn't born to win You know I wrote this song for you Why don't you just tell me the truth Tell me why I'm so delicate Why can't I live life in your skin Your skin Is the only thing that I'll call perfect It's the only thing in life with purpose The seven painted layers of canvas Even after the pain you were handed I guess I'm just not meant for this I guess I wasn't born to win You know I wrote this song for you Why don't you just tell me the truth Tell me why I'm so delicate Why can't I just live in your skin And I'm such a waist of skin

Shame 04:00
Everything that you said to me While laying in my bed with me Did you mean it? Forever is a promise that you can't break You swept me off my feet You kept me from all the pain But has anyone told you You can't force fate How did these scars get so deep You let me go and now I can't breath I hate the way you treated us I hate the way you treated me I can't believe what you said Everything, Everything's wrong Now that it's all done Now that you are gone Like the house that you live inside I feel empty and cold and in doubt I've been falling apart from the inside out And the smoke that you breathe in Smoking your cigarettes As you bath in the sunlight And the smell of regret Like days of this winter Im here to remind you that You will always feel empty You will always feel sad How did these scars get so deep You let me go and now I can't breath I hate the way you treated us I hate the way you treated me I can't believe what you said Everything, Everything's wrong Now that it's all done Now that you are gone Like the feeling of sinking That's inevitable Ill be pulling you down with me I'm the reason you drown
