I'm running
I'm running.
I'm running
I'm running.
I'm running
I'm running.
I'm running
I'm running.
I'm running
From the light.
I'm running
To the end of my life.

Galvanism

We extra light
Extra light
We extra light
We next to light
We light up, we write up
We fuck up, we die.
With no reason why.
No reason, no reason.
Light up, write up
Fuck up, die.
No reason why.
No reason, no reason.
Hit with a little lightning
A bug in my skin
A knife in my skin
A belly of gin and
We hit, now we out here fighting
Now we're writhing, now we're writhing
In the mud, hateful and we're crying
then the lightning just struck.

In a flesh jail, we prevail
Take a shirt off use it as a sail
Body a game, body a movie
Body came, body make me woozy
I'm losing, we're cruising
New lane, 90's beautiful tonight
I'm beautiful tonight, you're beautiful tonight
We're beautiful tonight, I'm crazy
Eyes glazing, just watching
A thought in my head
We're already dead, already dead
I could crash any second without any warning
World I've been ignoring, you I've been ignoring
Me I've been ignoring, you and I soar
Out the windshield, the windshield cracks
Breaks on my face as the cold wind sears
My flat and broken nose and cuts and scrapes
A red rose that flows from my nostrils and eyes
We fly through the air and land
I escape from a prison in the shape of me.

The River

I don't know where
Have I been going in the right or wrong
And did I think that if I sang this song
That I'd have any real escape
And did I think ahead
With all the hindsight on what I just said
And all the fingers pulling out my hair
It doesn't matter it's too late.
Just one more knot and one more stone
And one more step to my new home
Just flowing, flowing, like the sands of time
The weight, the wait, it pulls me down
You suffocate but I don't drown
Now nothing's left for me except that face.
My eyes are closed
As every fear inside my head just grows
I want to pump my fucking veins with lead
I wanna be set free

Out my window
I see
My twisted hands
Nothing
Love spreading through a voice so old but new
Words pass these lips, cracked and ripped, a bloody view
Eyes stare through the black void in the face in the riverbed
Cries, shouts, with the lights out. I can't keep it in this head
The lights in the forest, the wind in the sky
I will live, live, live, then I'll die
The wind in the forest, the lights in the sky
They will shine, shine, shine, and I'll die
The wind in the forest, the wind in the sky
It will blow, blow, blow and I'll die
The lights in the forest, the lights in the sky
They will burn, burn, burn, till we die

Shattered Glass

I got some eyes
Some hands, a car
A star moving west,
My brain in a jar
And I'll give up the rest
For a chance at best
To look in the mirror
And not see some strange
Abomination with two eyes
That stare right back
Without a thought
With holes so black
A void you left employed
As you sat far in your stupid shack
And pissed and moaned
You thought you'd outgrown
The whiny childish tantrums
You thought you disowned
But still feel the need to
Bash your head on the wall
Or a brick, or anything at all
Until you pass out
Until your eyes bleed
Till you stop feeling useless
Cause you never agreed
To live in a way where
The time will just go by
And people just go by
After maybe just two years
They rotate and rotate
Cause it gets to the point where
You feel like they don't care
And that you took the bait
And now all you want is to
See yourself again
When you look in the fucking mirror.

Let My Soul Out
02:01

Bury a hatchet in my chest, and let my soul out
Let my soul out
Let my soul out
Bury a hatchet in my fucking chest to let my soul out
Let my soul out
Let my soul out
Bury a hatchet in my chest, and let my soul out
Bury a hatchet in my fucking chest to let my soul out
I just wish I'd led myself away
But the lead weight in my stomach
Traps me with nothing to say
Just fuck it
And now I wake up every fucking day
Try to dig under my ribs
Rip them out, rip them out, rip them out.
Bury a hatchet in my chest, and let my soul out
Let my soul out
Let my soul out
Bury a hatchet in my fucking chest to let my soul out
Let my soul out
Let my soul out
Every day just feels the same
I'm just staring at the wall
Vignetted in my vision
I barely exist
Something's always clawing to escape
I just wanna take the fall
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!
Let me out!

What a Fucking Mess
01:21
|

Self hate is a weird ass fucking thing
Cause no one loves you like you love yourself
And you don't love yourself so why would they
You're toxic and self-loathing, with a boring sense of style
And your boring ass jokes
And your boring ass smile
And your boring ass, typical, basic fucking self
Can't take the fact that you're just unimportant
You're the throwaway, the last choice
The last voice to be acknowledged
If you're even seen at all
Your voice doesn't matter
And your choice doesn't matter
It always falls apart, there's no control in you
That stupid hole in you, it's like a gunshot
And you only get one shot, and you always fuck it up
Cause you're scared that everyone will go away again
Like Jory did.
Remember when he showed up when you pierced your ears
And you broke down cause you thought that he was gone?
Well he's gone again, no word from him
You were proud of me but still left on a whim
I needed you, we fucking needed you
And now we're lost again
How can we love ourselves
When you're not here to show us how
And you're not here to clear the clouds
You're the reason we can't cry now
And this is your fucking mess
I fucking hate you!

PART I:
It's a curious feeling when your soul leaves you.
Less of a ripping, or tearing
And more of a sudden emptiness
Everything becomes a haze, or a blur
And living doesn't really feel real
As if, as if it's just a dream
It's a strange feeling when your soul leaves you
It's a strange feeling when your soul leaves you
PART II:
Nothing is here anymore
You made sure to lock it away
so it's secure, can't get out
And finally you feel at peace
Cause you cease to feel anything
But your release.
No one needs you now.
Finally guided by light no more spite
No more anything. Just a path leading away
To a peaceful and numb nothingness
You exist? No you don't
Just pretend you're not real till you aren't
You're not real anymore
No you're not real anymore
You're not real anymore
No you're not real anymore
You're not real anymore
No you're not real anymore
You're not real anymore
You're not real anymore
You're not real anymore, anymore, anymore.

The Knife

I just dissociate.
Don't know what to do in this mess
I obsess then black out
Blood in the sky!
Blood in the sky!
Why I still hate
I can't even try to find out
I just bash in my head
The black brick is red!
The black brick is red!
But the thoughts still come in
As you're walking upstairs
And into the kitchen
Your vision goes red.
Grabbing the knife!
Grabbing the knife!
They tell you to do it they're in the next room
They tell you to do it they're in the next room
Stare at the knife!
Stare at the knife!
It wants to be satisfied
Want to feel the rush of excitement
From a kill that's well done
Blood in my eyes!
Blood in my eyes!
It's near impossible to refuse
It's from you
In a fight or flight mode for the last five minutes
Look at the knife!
Look at the knife!
You know you hate yourself.
Pretend to hate them
Lash out, lash out, lash out, you can!
Put down the knife!
Put down the knife!

I Want to Go Back Again
05:22
|

It'll go, it'll go, it'll go away someday
It'll fly, it'll fly, I promise it'll fly away
And you'll cry, and you'll cry, and you'll cry into the sun
And you'll look, and you'll look, and you won't be the only one
It's taken all of the last ten fucking years. And probably more
To bring you back to who you were before
Before we met, before I learned what it was like
Before I lost who I was, before I hated my body and mind.
I just want to see you again
Not the shadow, not the husk, but you
I want to see you without breaking down
I want to be you, and be happy with myself again
I want this evil part of me out, I just want you back again
And proud of me, and happy, and alive
And I just want you to stay
And love me, like you did before
I want to see myself happy and smiling but can't
Cause when I look in your eyes I see death
When I look in your eyes I see death
I see death
And nothing makes it worse than that
And I don't want to feel like that
And I just want to go back again
And run away. I wanna go back again.
