From the depths of eternal despair
I’ve fought my way from the vice grip
The crushing hold of a heart so unfair

The fleeting memories of an anxious mind,
That remains so empty
When all is one and one is all
We stand prepared for the final fall

To the watching ones above
To the children we can’t afford
To every orphan,
Who was never truly loved
The ones we wish to make so proud
We throw our dreams down to the floor
And still you scream your disappointment
Oh, so ******* loud

It’s been dead ever since I can recall,
My eardrums have learned to cry
And they still cry
Almost the way my eyes used to
But now the sorrow stops
At the sound of your voice.
When my heart is half of what it once was.

When every moment seems so hard
Just keep fighting through the dark
And every other thing will never seem
Destined to fall apart.
There will always be a light, Waiting to claim you
When it’s right
To choke away the misery
And hopefully remember it
When the end comes and she has to leave
But you never truly thought of me .
When I couldn’t think of anything else.
I know that you still love me.

It’s been dead ever since I can recall,
My eardrums have learned to cry
And they still cry
Almost the way my eyes used to
But now the sorrow stops….

I’ve come to realize how the hands of a clock
Have been constantly giving us the finger
Forcing us to waste more time than we’ve got
The only thing they count
Is the remaining hours we have left
Until the dawn consumes the dark
I have the answers to your prayers
The things that god would say
If he wasn't so ******* scared
Stop asking for someone to care
Until your mouth has finished talking it’s ****
I could rip your tongue out and I still wouldn’t hear the end of it

I’ve fallen down this path a hundred times
But it never seems quite the same
I can see in everyone’s eyes that they have changed
We change as often as the seasons.
But when the fall comes
Remember to welcome it
Even when you can’t think of a reason
I’m sure there must be one
For everything I’ve cursed myself for feeling

Another day lies buried within
The iron clasps constrict the mouth of a man
The blood is wiped across his violent grin
Convulsions,
Help me embrace the sleepless nights
Maybe it will be the night that makes things right
Just let the envy drag you further from your dreams
Just let the envy drag you down

I’ve fallen down this path a hundred times
But it never seems quite the same
I can see in everyone’s eyes that they have changed
We change as often as the seasons.
But when the fall comes
Remember to welcome it
Even when you can’t think of a reason
I’m sure there must be one
For everything I’ve cursed myself for feeling
As another day lies buried within

MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
