The world's weight,
Rests on our shoulders,
Growing heavier by the second,
Dragging us down,
Into the depths of oblivion,
Empty oblivion,
As the bleeding,
Pulls us further

There was a girl,
And a monster,
He was not scary,
As you might think,
He was kind,
Unimaginably so,
Gentle and cautious,
He dwelled on the negative,
The scars within him,
The makings of the monster,

But the girl saw,
Past the blood and bruises,
And inside there was a boy,
A broken boy,
He seemed scared,
Of something,
Of nothing,

She prayed,
Day and night,
That he would shed the scars,
And see,
There was no monster at all,
It took months,
Weeks,
Days,
Seemingly forever,
They were breaking,
But she wouldn't give up,

It was raining,
The black sky thundered,
On the day,
The monster died,
The girl gave him,
A mirror,
Cracked and framed,
In red rust,
He looked inside,
And the monster found,
The boy

Lying awake for days,
All the things I'd like to know,
Do you ever feel alone,
You've never been alone,
Bleeding from the scars,
You drew, they never closed,
They never closed

I'm drowning in emotion,
That you're not feeling,
I'm falling apart,
'Cause you can't see this,
I'll break my own heart,
If it makes you smile,
But I've been keeping quiet,
Far too long

Inquisition of the sunsets,
All the doubts I'll keep at bay,
How could you not ponder,
If we're falling the right way,
You could be the lies,
Fuelling all this pain,
It never ends

I'm drowning in emotion,
That you're not feeling,
I'm falling apart,
'Cause you can't see this,
I'll break my own heart,
If it makes you smile,
But I've been keeping quiet,
Far too long

So here we'll lie,
In the darkness,
Does it matter at all,
How hard we try,
To pick up the pieces

I'm drowning in emotion,
That you're not feeling,
I'm falling apart,
'Cause you can't see this,
I'll break my own heart,
If it makes you smile,
But I've been keeping quiet,
Far too...
(repeat chorus)

I've been keeping quiet,
Far too long

I'm drowning in emotion,
That you're not feeling,
I'm falling apart,
'Cause you can't see this,
I'll break my own heart,
If it makes you smile,
But I've been keeping quiet,
Far too long

I speak,
In a string of words,
Placed carefully,
Side by side,
Line after line,
Imposing myself,
On the broken world,
For the loss,
Of composure

What hurts the most,
Is keeping it all,
Inside,
Knowing it would feel,
So right,
Letting you go regardless,
Of everything,
Because I know the answer,
Is no

I should be gone,
By now,
When it all falls,
Appart,
My signature exit,
But I'm still lingering,
At the edges,
Because maybe this time,
I need someone,
To hold on,
Just a little longer

For the first time,
I scream these words,
In a whisper,
Please,
Just help me,
I don't want to drown anymore

Hope eats away,
At my insides,
Hollow though they are,
It burns through it all,
Desperately,
A sickness fills my heart,
Nauseating,
A chilling fever,
Freezing the emptiness,
'Til everything melts away,
And I'm screaming,
For nothing

Sometimes I wonder,
Who I would be,
Without the hollowness,
If I were not,
Haunted by despair,
Would you be here,
Would I be so willing,
To give it all up,
For nothing,
Would I fall,
Shatter and remain,
Broken and desperate,
As I've done for years,
Endless years that blur,
Into milleniums,
Could I feel,
So torn,
As I do whenever I inhale,
The stale air,
Breathing without purpose,
Slowly dying,
Perishing in the dark and cold,
That is the world around me,
Would I be anything,
Without my disposition

Honesty,
I demand so much,
Too much truthfullness,
Yet this hypocracy is inevitable,
If it had been anything else,
But this inquisition,
I wouldn't be so hesitant,
To reveal myself,
But I can't take,
Another letdown,
So here's a lie,
The first,
The last,
*"No"

Tears slip down,
Below the rims,
Of my red eyes,
Tears like shards of glass,
The fragments scrape,
Revealing crimson through ivory,
Acid tears,
Burning my cheeks,
The same as ever before,
As I drift into unconciousness

Sunlight grazes,
Soft and warm,
Subtle on my shoulder,
Paired with the sweetness,
Of summer air,
That touch becomes intoxicating,
Melting through the ice,
Of loneliness,
Evoking thoughts,
Of a gentler presence,
That breathes life,
Into my flooded lungs

It feels like dreaming,
When he sheds the lies,
And bleeds the colours,
Of truth,
A dream imprinted,
Permanently etched,
In my subconcious,
That settles on the surface,
Above any and every other moment,
The perfection,
Of honest imperfection,
So sincere and delicate,
Is all I ever needed

He loves me,
Should I feel the same,
Or shy away,
From love's uncertain embrace,
Though the force,
Of his words,
Draws me closer,
I feel the sickening twist,
Of confusion,
Within my chest,
How can I return,
Such sweetness,
While love is torn,
Contorted and shredded,
When my heart,
Should be flooded,
Bursting at the seams,
With equal passion

Slipping,
I am slipping,
Beyond the safety,
Of the surface,
Sinking,
Into the weightlessness,
Of transparent blue-green,
That consumes me,
And I drown,
With you,
In my subconcious

Words so safe,
So sweet,
Like oxegyn,
After prolonged suffocation,
I breathe them in,
The words,
Flood my lungs,
But there are never enough

Chain smoking our way,
Through the days,
His hands,
In all the right places,
The world means nothing,
It all means nothing,
Collisions of emptiness,
Just to feel something,
So he puts his hands,
In all the wrong places,
To make it right,
'Til the world means nothing,
We mean nothing

We fall from conciousness,
To emptiness,
Endless circles,
Of confusion,
Trapping and compressing,
Confining us,
We are inconsequential,
To the course,
Of loneliness

Is this,
An honest intention,
Or is doubting justified,
In the moment,
When the world,
Gives way,
From beneath me,
To reveal,
Reality intertwined,
With the mist,
OF fatal reason,
The poison of the mind

Breathing never satisfies,
This hunger,
For eternal silence,
And a simple, tragic ending,
Rather, it fuels the fire,
Of desperation,
For blood across my hands,
And tears me up,
Alive and open,
Bleeding truth,
Across the broken floor

What does it mean,
When love spills,
The blood of the innocent,
For humour's sake,
To write a tragic story,
And shoot the love song,
To see the tears,
Infusing with blood,
Falling through eternity,
Shattering glass,
As purpose kills,
The incomplete

Do you think,
The thoughts I hate,
Deadly and blunt,
Within our hearts,
Burning bridges,
Made to last,
As we die,
And tear apart

I just want,
To see everything,
Fall apart,
In the center,
Of this surreality

I love you,
Used to mean,
So much,
When naivety,
Was all we had,
Until nightfall,
Approached,
And the fire,
Died inside you

Remembering,
Who we were,
Your hands on me,
Was all I needed,
Just to be,
Someone,
With you,
Moving too fast,
Blurring through time,
Blending,
Into the scenery

He penetrates stone walls,
And sees the truth,
Behind the lies,
And the empty smile,

There is something beyond,
Laughter,
Something dark,
Something hollow and broken,

Layered with dust,
Lies the grave,
Of what was once,
Happiness

Clouds fill the emptiness,
Grey and cold,
Stone clouds,
Masking the blue,
Soft, sweet blue,
From view,
For we are powerless,
To clouds
