Somewhere deep beneath the surface I know that I deserve this Im too far gone to save Please Don't waste your time on me Wandering Aimlessly to an unmarked grave So tired of all the same things Separate from sanctuary That feeling dead and buried Im so afraid to face myself Turning into somebody else I know you dont recognize these cold dead eyes Ive lost the light inside Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who i was. Im an imposter Failing to find peace Trying but it seems I might be Falling farther I may not come back from this I barely ******* exist Im an empty imposter I cannot pretend I feel anything real I am destined to suffer in silence As we cascade Its overwhelming The urge i have to stay if I could find a way to coexist in misery I know im not alone But nowhere feels like home With Noone to hold I shut out the world With Emotions of stone Is it safe to say Im not okay? Am I to blame? Searching endlessly for something hidden inside me. Its over now and I cant sleep She's buried deep haunting my dreams I feel her touch and It repeats Releasing me from shadows chasms deep I can feel My heart start beating This moment fleeting Slowly we're cascading Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who you lost Slowly Im suffocating Over and over your watching me fading Feels like my soul Is just wasting away Oh how were quickly cascading You cant recognize the man behind these dead and bitter eyes Im a ghost inside Im the ghost thats lives inside in own skin Your the reason I am lost inside my own head

Cascading
Somewhere deep beneath the surface I know that I deserve this Im too far gone to save Please Don't waste your time on me Wandering Aimlessly to an unmarked grave So tired of all the same things Separate from sanctuary That feeling dead and buried Im so afraid to face myself Turning into somebody else I know you dont recognize these cold dead eyes Ive lost the light inside Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who i was. Im an imposter Failing to find peace Trying but it seems I might be Falling farther I may not come back from this I barely ******* exist Im an empty imposter I cannot pretend I feel anything real I am destined to suffer in silence As we cascade Its overwhelming The urge i have to stay if I could find a way to coexist in misery I know im not alone But nowhere feels like home With Noone to hold I shut out the world With Emotions of stone Is it safe to say Im not okay? Am I to blame? Searching endlessly for something hidden inside me. Its over now and I cant sleep She's buried deep haunting my dreams I feel her touch and It repeats Releasing me from shadows chasms deep I can feel My heart start beating This moment fleeting Slowly we're cascading Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who you lost Slowly Im suffocating Over and over your watching me fading Feels like my soul Is just wasting away Oh how were quickly cascading You cant recognize the man behind these dead and bitter eyes Im a ghost inside Im the ghost thats lives inside in own skin Your the reason I am lost inside my own head

Why did you call her back home? When you did you stole a piece of me. The earth still turns but im stuck here so empty. I wish it was me I remember screaming How can I move on when half my heart stopped beating? I cant remember her voice I cant remember her face You took her Erased my memories God tell me please. Why did she need to die? Tell me. Why did she need to die? Ill never get the chance To tell her how much she's missed. Ill never get to see how much she would have loved my kids. I cant escape this feeling: The pain of living with a cave in my chest. Ive been ****** up since the day you left. Unraveling at the seams, its consuming. Taking it day by day My mental health is not improving This life isnt what I wanted at all. This heartbreak washes over me like a melancholy waterfall. You took away the only person who cared. I said "Hail Mary's" you ignored my prayers Now ill never forgive you 10/20 10/20 No, I will never forget you 10/20 10/20 Your death is the reason Life and love is slowly fleeting. Im failing to hold my composure Ive come to grips I dont deserve any closure. Faking fine But im not alright. At the gates ill hold you tight in my hands. Ill keep you close ill never lose you again. Theres no release from this vicious cycle im stuck in between Theres no relief from this vicious cycle, ill never leave. I will never leave. God if you can hear me im cursing your name For taking my mother away from me You ripped her away The only person I need Screaming to the sky hoping shes still watching me. Loving you from afar is so hard My heart hates the distance between the earth and the stars. Ill pray to see you at the end of my days 10/20 Until we meet again

Love loss I had no clue what losing you would cost Now im alone with these intrusive thoughts Constantly thinking what could we be? But you changed; that changed me. Ill face this one my own like I've always had to No guiding hand to pull me through The way I did for you Love loss I know its sad to say It hurts to see how little you mean to me Im not scared I was born to lose How could leaving me do nothing to you? You moved on, i went down with the ship I sank so far below I found my abyss Theres no light, no hope Theres no way out it seems I fail to see what ruining my life could teach But if thats the case and its all just for show Ill make my own way out With a chair and some rope My future is bleak, im empty I fear my best days are far behind me I knew id have to come face to face with the fact I dont exist, I never have. What's the point to wait? Ill dig an early grave Love loss I had no clue what losing you would cost Now im alone with these intrusive thoughts Constantly thinking what could we be? But you changed "Its okay to be not okay" So they say Theres tension in the pit of my gut It invites change but im stuck in this rut The butterfly effect turns into regret I find myself lost with no way back Im leaving behind a piece of me It might be worthless but its for you to keep Hold it to your chest in the times that im missed We'll meet again in the beyond I drift Hand to a grave Holding firm to where my spirit leads Im afraid I cant escape the fragile empty Im not supposed to feel this way Please give me the strength to accept that which I cant change Theres just some things you'll never change But nothings okay I cant see a future for me "Its okay to be not okay" .....so they say

Begging for mercy Please god can you shine your light my way? I know I've asked so many times Am I a soul you cannot save? Im losing my grip I cant find strength inside of me You've taken everyone I've loved You created what I've become You've taken everything from me. I cant see a familiar face Why would you change and turn your back on me? I cant stay, there's nothing left to say. Could there be another hope for me? Can I fing peace or is this my reckoning? I long for a love that I cant find. Theres nothing left I lost myself but your always on my mind I hope your happy with or without me. Do you understand the toll this takes? Ive been losing sleep and struggling to put myself at ease. It wasn't enough for you to betray my trust. How could you just give your love to someone else? I cant see a familiar face Why would you change and turn your back on me? I cant stay, there's nothing left to say. You dont know what the **** you did to me. I lose control when I think of the memories. Ill cut you out of my heart with fake tears on your face. Yet you cry and you beg and you say im your everything. Let's make this clear I feel no sympathy for your crocodile tears. You left me empty I cant move on after what you've done I toss and turn at the thought I won't bite my tongue this has gone on too long The way you used me I wouldnt wish this on anybody.

The pain of self reflection
Reckoning Another day spent hating everything One foot in the grave waiting patiently for things to change. Is that too much to ask? Just cut the **** pierce a nerve; im on my last. This is the straw that broke me I spent all these years wishing and hoping But someday never comes Praying at the end of a loaded gun Suffer silently forever I know that Noone really cares Ive got no clue why im still even here Its all fake Living life in a shade of gray Wearing myself thin to a realm of unending pain. What's the point? Ive got no choice Ill just scream and **** and moan until I lose my voice. I guess this is what its all come down to Dwelling on the trauma I've been through **** it I know its never good enough I could give you the world You'd look at me in disgust Hands are slowly fading Losing what we loved most is draining Sands like an hourglass running thin Times up, all I see is what I hate within Cracks forming, pressures not holding Im breaking down My souls corroding So what's it gonna take to bring me back from this negative space? My soul is outrunning me. Anything, please just anything Someone throw me a line, im ******* drowning. Everyday it feels live everything is collapsing above me. The weight has become far too much to bear I stay silent so Noone will be aware Im slowly dying on the inside Symptoms of a less than deserved life. Ill spend the rest of my days Wondering what its going to take To bring me back from this negative space. But im so lost Theres no way out Can you feel me slowly drifting? Deeper im falling Its not worth crawling Back to nothing My world desolving

I feel a change of wind is pulling me Thoughts of suddenly severing everything. A flaw in my design, corrupted this time Taking steps to search inside for something ill never find Can I make another excuse? Do i have the strength to finally follow through? The anxiety i feel is taking Everything i have inside to stop from shaking I cant bring myself to utter the words Its silence at first. Holding onto this curse. Its so unfair, the pain and trauma Ill cause Its not their fault their father is gone How can I look myself in the eyes Knowing this may change the rest of their lives

Im making distance to end my life on my own terms Just look away like the world does as I get what I deserve I dont feel the love of another I gave up everything She left me to suffer She doesnt look at me with that spark in her eyes anymore Its a distant gaze filled with memories we wish we could reclaim She doesnt look at me with that spark in her eyes anymore I know she ******* hates me deep down to her core She didn't love me before I became this beast But will she remember me as the man that I pretend to be? You see right through me Endless Are the breathes i seem to gasp for Senseless As im forced to die or swear upon a sword Restless Im losing grip on why I'm actually here Defenseless I can't leave this place but you dont want me near Try to fight as I might I know I won't survive To find a permanent escape from This cold reality Im so sick of always breaking Every promise I can't keep I haven't found a reason To end the cycle I repeat "I realize it's hard at times, but I need you to open your eyes See that light still shines There are brighter skies We can put this past behind" No matter how many time I fight This empty feeling will never subside "If there is anything that I can do Just know, I'll always be there for you Please just open your eyes" This all comes back to me Im not as strong as I pretend to be and you see right through me But I can't give in to this This is the existential loop im stuck in Endless Are the breathes i seem to gasp for Senseless As im forced to die or swear upon a sword Restless Im losing grip on why I'm actually here Defenseless I can't leave this place but you dont want me near

Disdain for your reflection Afraid of self rejection Please exit this frame Turn face and walk away I just dont know what to do Overcoming is up to you I fear your stuck in this echo I see you suffering Plagued by grave uncertainty Its overwhelming Are you lost in your bleak? Checking for a pulse like I can't see Staring blankly at the same space Are you coming back to me? I would give up everything and anything to breach the static. Your so numb you can't even see what we've become Were hesitating Its just ancient history Soul anchor silence is suffocating This deadweight drags me under endlessly This room echos what you didn't speak. Anxiety just complicates everything Just push me aside as you deny everything I cant keep watching you die I see you suffering. I see you suffering Plagued by grave uncertainty Its overwhelming Are you lost in your bleak? Checking for a pulse like I can't see Staring blankly at the same space. Please come back to me. You claim that you saved me Sick to death of this life is what you made me. Im so sorry that I seem to dissappear But disappointing you has become my deepest fear **** this i know that im not worth it Is this my only purpose? Broken, I think im finally done with this Give me a reason I should stay when you dont exist. Nihilist

Self rejection
Living in a masquerade Running from mistakes I've made But the damage is done I can't escape the monster I've become I live everyday in a haze, half awake Longing to feel something more than agony If misery loves company Why does everyone leave me? I can't escape this place in my head Taking steps from every wrong decision I've made. Its unforgettable, the day I lost your touch I only cope with memory's with this bottle as a crutch. I dont know if I can escape this place in my head. I've tried so many times I hit rock bottom instead. You say you know me but i dont know myself Im just so sick of trying to be like everyone else. Its not supposed to be this way I can't find a way to change. If misery loves company Why does everyone leave me? I can't escape this place in my head Taking steps from every wrong decision I've made. Im searching for a sign of life just to realize I am hollow inside. I can't remember when I lost my light because I've never felt alive. I've been thinking of ways to bring you back to me. Nothing seems to work I'm in love with the hurt.

Masquerade
Let's set this record straight Oh how conveniently you've placed the blame on me. Guess you haven't looked into a mirror as of late. The reflection I see is telling of the disgusting things you've done Your blaming your trauma on everyone you "love" Its not their fault you hate yourself so much, your not the only one. No one believes the siren song coming from your tongue. You can't feel lonely, you put your self in this hole Id tell you to look within but you sold your soul so long ago. Now, your a useless empty vessel for the shadows you invite in You made the choice to rot in **** when you pushed that needle in your skin Forever ***** father have you finally come to your sense? Was the rush worth losing your home and your kids? Can you dig yourself out of the mess your in? I really doubt it, your not the man that I remember you once were. Look what you've done to everyone you claim to love How many times can you die before I'm forced to pull the plug? I don't want it to be this way Feeling ashamed of the father i see in front of me I will not be like you I will never be like you What's the point of making amends? By this time next year you'll be a ghost in my head No, I don't want to bury you Im just sick of seeing what you put my mother through. Im stuck between a rock and a hard place. It hurts me to say I think we should part ways Oh, but you dont care? At least that's what you say with your vacant stare If i could get through I'd just say I miss the real you I guess I should accept Your never coming back Forever ***** father have you finally come to your sense? Was the rush worth losing your home and your kids? Can you dig yourself out of the mess your in? I ******* doubt it I see you screaming through your bloodshot eyes. I see no father of mine You say "it's not what it seems" I know your lying to me The serpent takes and it consumes. Then slithers away in the hopes you forget: but I can't. You've taken all that i can give. I won't do the same to my own kids. I promise This ends with me
