Have you ever felt the weight pushing down on your chest?/ how your not enough for a world that still chases a ghost/ I’m alive in a lifeless hell/ moving around in a hollow shell/ complacency never cared for me/ I’m alone in a house that dependency built/ Anxiety is always haunting me/ lie awake each night just so I can breath again/ bury me, I never wanted to leave/ the cycle repeats in my heart so endlessly/ Take this away/ the sign of the times invaded my eyes/ just let go/ a leap of faith has never been answered/ someone save me, I’m burning alive/ I was never the same when darkness arrived/ will you let me go?/ Find me hollowed out/ carving my eulogy straight to the bone/ nothing to cling to when I’m on my own/ / bleeding the veins so I can feel again/ I’m numb to the feeling of agony/ it’s all I’ve ever known/ I can’t overcome these waves/ dragging me down below/ my demons have a hold of me/ pain in every breathe, I can’t control these memories/ I can’t see the light inside of me/

Darkness Arrived
When it rains, it ******* pours/ I’ve been here before/ drag me up the shore/ anchored to the ocean floor/ I can’t contain, this tidal wave/ open up the flood gates/ let the levee break/ No time to pray/ god’s been getting in the way/ pushed to the brink/ when there’s nowhere left to sink/ knock down, the barricade/ nowhere to see, no light in the dark/ I’m caught again in the mess I’ve made/ all alone in the eye of the hurricane/ counting waves rolling over me/ can someone save me from this, before I’m swept away by the flood/ Can anybody hear me, I’m not found/ out under the sun for days in this hell/ and what I paid for my sins/ would send most men straight to there end/ when will this end?/ the tide drags me out again and again/ I’ve got a mind like an ocean, an anchor for a heart/ the only peace I’m guaranteed/ is buried underneath/ the rain has caught me now/ will I drown in my sleep?/ there will never be peace, when you’re looking through the clouds/ I’m lost under the surface/ I’m caught again in the mess I’ve made/ all alone in the eye of the hurricane/ counting waves rolling over me/ can someone save me from this, before I’m swept away by the flood/ I’ve got nothing left to say/ when all is lost, and what’s said is said/ The currents killing me/ I’m drowning again/ let the storm come for me/

The Flood
I’ll sing you a drunken lullaby With whiskey on my breath But the hardest part through it all Is holding on to what we have And to what we leave behind Though the pain leaves scars I still feel you here when I count the stars

Lullaby
Before I am sealed by the light, Take my hand, And sing your prayers with me. Before you at this moment, Stands a tired and broken man. And just like glass, My heart breaks the same. Like the winds of winter, I am the coldest, When I’m at my lowest. Return me to the earth, As I ascend to heaven, Free and unshackled.

Ascension
When the skies return to grey, Will our hearts want to stay? When we’ve given up our hope, Will we find it at the end of a rope? When our lungs suddenly collapse, Will our feelings start to relapse? When we slowly grow more insane, Will the poison rush into our veins? When the dark turns to dawn, Will our pain soon be gone?

When and Will
On the second day We are lost, As the tides move higher up the shores. I’m crushed by the crashing waves, And broken from the sand and sun. These numbing thoughts send me down below, Through the eyes of the undertow. When my mind is set on fire, My eyes create valleys of water. Until the day I breathe my last, I’m afraid, I’ll always sail through the maw of the hurricane.

Dark Harbor Part 2
On the first day In fires wake We Clutch our bleeding hearts We hold our breath Just to watch the life fade from our tired eyes We sold our souls for hearts of gold But all we found were silver lies We braved the darkest harbors, And drug ourselves through shallow waters, With anchors tied around our waists All in all we keep pressing on To find a place to call our home

Dark Harbor
lost Trapped in the shadows, Banished to the darkest thoughts and memories. is there a god to save me? Been pushed back to far for you to pull me back to were i was, im sick of being here alone, cant find my way back home, every move i make has got me stuck in the darkest place, i feel as im being held at the end of my rope i wanna believe that there is still hope, every day i ask my self if this is real, i wonder how long it will take for me to heal, im feeling so cold, Maybe I was born to walk this earth alone, wondering im the darkness to find the light, the light to guide me home.

Lost
Take my hand, just to stand again Broke myself, just to feel the pain Finding words, nothing real yet Shadows walk in line with you and I Hoping we can show them the light again Can we find ourselves and fight another way? Or are we made to decay?

Shadows
Maybe we were never meant to be I never saw the warning signs Maybe I was never good enough Dark clouds washed away the sun And if you call my name, Can you hear The echos coming from the halls I’m not your criminal, bound by the Chains you tied around my wrists And you let me down Stabbed my back, just to watch me bleed Left me all alone You cut me out, just to watch me fall I saw the devil in her eyes It’s eating me alive And she screams at me Throwing empty words like hand grenades And I’m losing sleep Singing songs of broken serenades I always seem to lose myself in you Even when you don’t want me to Ashes to ashes, we’re turning to dust An eye for an eye, we slowly start to rust And you let me down Stabbed my back, just to watch me bleed Left me all alone You cut me out, just to watch me fall I saw the devil in her eyes It’s eating me alive My mind feels like a battlefield Every breath is a war My hearts on the frontlines I can’t take it anymore
