Less thinking
(More nothing)
I'll find the middle ground alone
Less wanting
(More something)
I'll turn the lights off so no one else will know
I can't find the rewind
I let my life get out of control
But I'm so close
That I can taste it
No
I won't let you bring me
Down this time
I'm better off on my own
I'll be the best one that you'll never know
More pleading
(Less bleeding)
I'll find the courage just another bottle away
Less needing
(More feeling)
We'll lose our breath until the screams are here to stay
I can't find the rewind
I've let my life get out of control
But I'm so close
That I can taste it
No
I won't let you bring me
Down this time
I'm better off on my own
I'll be the best one that you'll never know
But I'm so close
That I can taste it
No
I won't let you bring me
Down this time
I'm better off on my own
I'll be the best one that you'll (never know)
But I'm so close
That I can taste it
No
I won't let you bring me
Down this time
I'm better off on my own
I'll be the best one that you'll never know

What I Wanted
02:23
|

|
It's 4 in the morning
You're out there ignore me
I'm falling to pieces
As my heart rate increases
Who's with you
What'd you do
To break my heart again
This is it
I fucking quit
I can't do this again
Drag me down
This is falling apart before I even start
Drag me down
I'm not right in the head
Was it something I said
To make you think that this is what I wanted
Every word that you say
Pushes me past the limit
I can't help
But to think
If there's a Hell, I'm in it
So damn tired
Of your lies
And all your shit excuses
Put up walls
Have the balls
To see what your lie produces
Drag me down
This is falling apart before I even start
Drag me down
I'm not right in the head
Was it something I said
To make you think that this is what I wanted
Drag me down
This is falling apart before I even start
Drag me down
I'm not right in the head
Was it something I said
To make you think that this is what I wanted
Drag me down
(This is falling apart before I even start)
Drag me down
(I'm not right in the head)
(Is it something I said)
To make you think that this is what I wanted

Regression
03:51
|
|||
|
I'm feeling nauseous
And so pathetic
Don't know what changed me
But I regret it
Struggling with my soul
Realize I've got no control
I'm feeling nervous
And apathetic
Don't know who I am
Just know I hate it
Struggling with my self
Now it's time to leave this hell
I cannot see a way out as this darkness encircles me
I have lost all sense of self and my grip on reality
Are you there
Do you care
As I flail in uncertainty
Cast me out
Shed my doubt
That you'll still be here with me
You'll tell me to move on
This is the end I'm too far gone

Decipher
04:12
|

|
I wake up
On the wrong side of this town
I make up
A thousand things to make me frown
I block out
All the thoughts I have of you
So they see
Exactly what I want them too
Because I don't live for them
(Don't live for them)
I've learned exactly who I am
Quiet thoughts we utter slow
(We utter slow)
Bring me all the peace I know
I built these walls
To numb the world around me
I built this shell
To keep all this inside of me
I built these lies
To fill an awkward silence
I built this life
To martyr my existence
I give up
Tell me what the secret is
To bring up
The words that both of us have hidden
Behind us
Shadows tugging at my strings
Destroy me
To give me strength to spread my wings
Because I don't live for me
(Don't live for me)
I'll be exactly who you want me to be
Sullen thoughts I think alone
(I think alone)
Bring me all the peace I'll ever know
I built these walls
To numb the world around me
I built this shell
To keep all this inside of me
I built these lies
To fill an awkward silence
I built this life
To martyr my existence
I broke these walls
To feel the world around me
I dropped my shell
To let the truth inside of me
Expose these lies
To give it all I have to give
I broke this life
To feel what it's like to live

Everything is Fine
03:43

Everything is fine
(Is fine)
Everything will be okay
It's all in my mind
(My mind)
I'm not lonely or tired or dying or breathing
I've just made myself think that I always need it
Quiet the hunger
Quiet the suffering
Give me one chance to
Clear my mind
You're in my head again
(You're in my head)
This self-destruction's wearing thin
Drown in the things you said
(The things you said)
How do I silence the voices inside of my head
Everything is still
(Is still)
Break the pattern for another bad habit
I don't control my own will
(My own will)
So I'm stumbling and falling from what I've become and
I'm looking for answers but still I've found none
Quiet the hunger
Quiet the suffering
Give me one chance to
Clear my mind
You're in my head again
(You're in my head)
This self-destruction's wearing thin
Drown in the things you said
(The things you said)
How do I silence the voices inside of my head
So quiet the hunger
Quiet the suffering
Give me one chance to
Clear my mind
Quiet the hunger
Quiet the suffering
Give me one chance to
Clear my mind
You're in my head again
(You're in my head)
This self-destruction's wearing thin
Drown in the things you said
(The things you said)
How do I silence the voices inside of my
How do I silence the voices inside of my
How do I silence the voices inside of my head

No One
03:01

The taste of metal in my mouth
Is leaving much to be desired
I'm getting fucking sick and tired
Of always burning out too soon
The scratches don't sting long enough
For their effect to take me
The world's trying to break me
Like a twig
I'll snap in two
I smile like I'm insane
That's not too far fetched anyway
I threw my whole life down the drain
For a dream that I cannot maintain
I don't believe in anything
But I'll give up just everything
For something that will never come
Then I'll be left a No One
I don't know where I'm going here
I just know I can't run away
I'll stick it for one more day
Until I think I will explode
Your shattered lessons still remain
They're always learned at my expense
Telling me that I cannot quit
When my time has finally come
I smile like I'm insane
That's not too far fetched anyway
I threw my whole life down the drain
For a dream that I cannot maintain
I don't believe in anything
But I'll give up just everything
For something that will never come
Then I'll be left a No One
I smile like I'm insane
That's not too far fetched anyway
I threw my whole life down the drain
For a dream that I cannot maintain
I don't believe in anything
But I'll give up just everything
For something that will never come
Then I'll be left a No One
I smile like I'm insane
That's not too far fetched anyway
I don't know where I'm going here
I just know I can't run away
I'll stick it for one more day
And I'll be left a No One

Hollow
03:34

Trickle
Down the spine
Squirming
All in line
Never
Speak your mind
Stranded
Scared and blind
You're so special and unique
Just like everyone you meet
But you cannot control yourself
That's why you need people like me
You'll flock to us to avoid the herd
You'll slit your wrists to be be absurd
True words won't slip between your teeth
Even now you'll agree with me
Open your eyes
You're another one of them
A carbon copy of a fatal error
You're empty to the brim
Your heart is beating slower now
To escape the fool within
The hollow body of originals
To let a new one in
To break you
I can't make you change
I can't faze you
You'll always be the same
This time
I'm done trying
It's already
Too late
Open your eyes
You're another one of them
A carbon copy of a fatal error
You're empty to the brim
Open your eyes
You're another one of them
A carbon copy of a fatal error
You're empty to the brim
Your heart is beating slower now
To escape the fool within
The hollow body of originals
To let a new one in
Open your eyes
(Let me in)
Open your eyes

Worth It
03:17
|

|
I'll never fall in love
'Cause I never found my ground
These words still hold more truth
Than you have ever found
So tell me it's okay to think with my heart and not my mind
Then tell me we're alright
Tell me that we'll end up fine
Bring me your worst
'Cause I have seen the other side
And you're worth it
I choke on all these words
So they won't escape my throat
To bleed into your ears
Never hear a word I wrote
You saved me from myself
You taught me how to live
If I give you away, what is left for me to give
So bring me your worst
'Cause I have seen the other side
And you're worth it
You make this all disappear
You can't bring me down
They can't prove me wrong
I can face another day until the day that you're gone
It's my cross to bear
Hold out my breath and take it
I can face another day because I know you're worth it
So bring me your worst
I have seen the other side
And you're worth it
You make this all disappear
You can't bring me down
They can't prove me wrong
I can face another day until the day that you're gone
It's my cross to bear
Hold out my breath and take it
I can face another day because I know
You can't bring me down
They can't prove me wrong
I can face another day until the day that you're gone
It's my cross to bear
Hold out my breath and take it
I can face another day because I know you're worth it

Shut Me Up
03:08
|

|
Don't pray for me
I can redeem myself
I don't need any help
Or sympathy
Rely on me
I am the one you need
You just won't realize
Until I'm under your skin
The day seems over now
My story's reached its close
It's time to break away
From all those things I chose
Regrets are plentiful
They're all I ever know
This time I'm left with you
I can't bring myself to
Cut it off
(Cut it off)
Rip the flesh from bone
Pull away
(Pull away)
To break this broken home
Shut me up
(Shut me up)
You said that this was over
So why aren't you gone?
This may seem wonderful
A blessing in disguise
A gateway to a world
You thought your heart could hide
Sweet freedom in release
A loss you cannot keep
A shadow in the light
A burning deep inside
Cut it off
(Cut it off)
Rip the flesh from bone
Pull away
(Pull away)
To break this broken home
Shut me up
(Shut me up)
You said that this was over
So why aren't you gone?
Don't pray for me
I can redeem myself
I don't need any help
Or sympathy
Cut it off
(Cut it off)
Rip the flesh from bone
Pull away
(Pull away)
To break this broken home
Shut me up
(Shut me up)
You said that this was over
So why aren't you gone?
Cut it off
(Cut it off)
Rip the flesh from bone
Pull away
(Pull away)
To break this broken home
Shut me up
(Shut me up)

(Let's go)
I've been a waste of sight since I lost your gaze
Now I'm running blind in a lonely haze
When the lights are out, I still see your face
Leave me here, let me decay
Forget my name and the truth I shared
Forget my words, forget you cared
About me
I'll go this alone
Don't stop me
You don't even know
A thing about me
I'd never stoop this low
But watch me
I am not the man
I used to be
You're my lucky charm and my razor blade
I'm your greatest pride and your greatest shame
If I disappear, you will fill my place
So leave me here, lost in disgrace
Forget my name and the truth I shared
Forget my words, forget you cared
About me
I'll go this alone
Don't stop me
You don't even know
A thing about me
I'd never stoop this low
But watch me
I am not the man
I used to be
I'll go this alone
Don't stop me
You don't even know
A thing about me
I'd never stoop this low
But watch me
I'll go this alone
Don't stop me
You don't even know
A thing about me
I'd never stoop this low
But watch me
I am not the man
I used to be

Placebo
04:16

Be my placebo
Focus on the pain
At the end of the world
We'll find that everything's the same
A silent comfort
Ringing through the pain
When we finally drift apart
We'll see that everything's the same
I'm not shaking anymore
(I'm not shaking anymore)
And I'm not the same man I was before
(I'm not the same man I was before)
Adapt to your situations
Bite my lip to hold inside
All the things I want to scream at you
Shrivel up and die
I can never be the same
You have changed me
Keep me focused on the pain
That you gave me
Be my placebo
Trick away my fears
And I'll be fine
I swear I'm fine
I don't recognize myself
(I don't recognize myself)
But I'm alright if you couldn't tell
(I'm alright if you couldn't tell)
I'm hoping that this change
Is for the better
She'll never make me go insane
'Cause I won't let her
I can never be the same
You have changed me
Keep me focused on the pain
That you gave me
Be my placebo
Trick away my fears
And I'll be fine
I swear I'm fine
(I'm fine)
You have changed me
I can never be the same
You have changed me
Keep me focused on the pain
But you can't save me
Be my placebo
Trick away my fears
And I'll be fine
I swear I'm fine
I can never be the same
You have changed me
Keep me focused on the pain
That you gave me
Be my placebo
Trick away my fears
And I'll be fine
I swear I'm fine
(I'm fine)

Breathe
03:54
|

|
As I watch the world change around me
Wonder if this day will save me
Wonder if this day will take me
Away from here
As the shattered truth lays here forsaken
Broken souls damned by mistakes in
Every little thing that I do
You say that it's all part of a plan
But how am I supposed to understand
When everyone knows what their point is but me
You've left us here shattered and broken
Crying out for the outspoken
Praying for deliverance to come to me
But I can't breathe
I can't see the light out in the darkness
And I can't breathe
I can't feel you here next to me
As I fall
As I fall
The nights go on drowned out and restless
My stupid actions get more reckless
As I see them for what they really are
I'm screaming out for a little mercy
I'm praying that I'm not so crazy
As I think I am
As I know I am
Dreaming of a bright tomorrow
But knowing I've gone as far as I can go
And now we're falling faster
Than I ever thought we could
I'm breaking ties
Serving rejection
Crawl inside for protection
From the world
But I can't breathe
I can't see the light out in the darkness
And I can't breathe
I can't feel you here next to me
As I fall
As I fall
Promise that I'll keep on trying
I promise that I'll keep on lying to you
And if I die before I wake
Then god has fixed his one mistake
Or did I just fade away
'Cause I can't breathe
I can't see the light out in the darkness
And I can't breathe
I can't feel you here next to me
As I fall
As I fall
As I watch the world change around me
I wonder if this day will save me
I wonder if this day will take me
Away from here
