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/

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/

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

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.

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?

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.

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
