Collapse
 
This house has never been so quiet
Quieter than the ever impatient-growing soul
That inhabits his body.
The warning sirens are all that can be heard
so he blocked his ears.
 
He sits praying that things are going to get better
While in the comfort of his own arms, he weeps;
"I only hope that I will get out,
there must be more to my life than this."
His only wish.
 
He's breaking, he's broken
He's breaking, he's breaking down.
 
If I could change my fate
I wouldn't be telling you this story
I'd be walking in different shoes
But the truth is;
I am nothing, I have nothing, I exist for nothing.
 
But all I have is the beating in my chest.

Pressure
 
Let's take our story right back to the start
Where all good tales begin, with a heart.
 
It's so hard growing up when no one cares about you,
The world's gone mad
The youth's gone crazy.
They just don't know which way to turn
The right direction?
Can someone steer them?
 
Yet I've been sucked into this shit for as long as I know
Feel like one alone, just finding a reason to remove myself.
This paranoia grabs you whole and leaves you breathless,
I'm so sick of this, please rid me of this.
 
Send me back to the days
When life wasn't so hard on the youth.
Just a little encouragement will help them on their way.
But their minds are so clogged up with all the shit that they're fed by the media.
 
We must increase the peace.
What will the say?
What will they do?
We must increase the peace.

Within
 
You would try your best
To ruin me, embarrass me, belittle me
I won't let go of those times.
If I wasn't such a selfish piece of shit,
I'd right my wrongs
And try to make things right again.
 
I cannot think,
I will not think
Of all those bullshit lies
That you would compromise.
 
If I look back
Then I'm sure I promised I would change.
I'll keep these promises the best I can.
I know that I can't change
But I'm doing my best to be the best that I can be.
 
What will it fucking take
To get that close again?

Unbreakable
 
Waiting for another chance to shine
Impressing you is over with
We're so much deeper than this.
 
I think you'll testify with my words
We can't go wrong this time.
We'll see out our lives in peace
And our harmony will be celebrated
With nothing inbetween.
They'll call the cavalry when they see how strong we've become.
 
Wait for them to look on in misery,
They just won't know how fucking good things can be.
I can't describe this feeling I have inside,
I swear if there was anything wrong I'd fucking die.
 
We'll see that spark tonight
And I would make your dreams a reality.
And I would take your hand
And you would walk with me
And we'll forever see the life that we wanted.
 
But when will they see
That this is you and me?
You always think something is wrong
But there ain't shit that could undo this.

Alone
 
If for just one second
You could stand aside
And answer my questions.
I'm asking, I'm begging, I'm screaming.
Could you ignite some feeling?
 
She took the easy approach
On her own.
She lived a lonely life.
She took the easy approach
On her own.
She lived a lonely life
And she lived her only life.
 
In the shadow of her mind
Day by day
The truth becomes so clear.

Everything
 
'With endless love we left you sleeping.'
Those were the last words he never heard.
It was too hard for them to say goodbye.
A memory, a treasure to help the pain
Nothing can help that pain.
It took his everything.
 
They couldn't wait any longer
Their time was running faster that he was
These walls couldn't help them, they couldn't hold them.
They could only hold each other one last time
His whole life could have faded before him
But he chose to be strong.
 
He couldn't leave his legacy on the back of a photograph.
They meant the world to him.
 
This was for them,
Their memory would live on.
This was just like a head trip,
He didn't know if he was coming or going.
So much contemplation fucked him up
That going seemed like the only option he had left.
 
He meant everything.

Struggle
 
Essentially, I've set myself up to fail
I wonder where the months between will lead us.
Am I headed for that dead end
That I thought about so intently?
 
"Time and tide wait for no man."
You can take your time
But it won't fucking wait.
 
Am I destined to be tied to this same path
For the rest of my fucking life?
Listen with an open mind to the words that I speak.
 
Son of a fucking gun,
He never knew anyone but himself
Another recluse, a slave to time.
He spent his days always wondering,
Never searching, never finding.
 
"Give me a reason, Give me soemthing to breathe.
Give me a reason, Give me a purpose."
 
He kissed his time goodbye.
The question is, did he ever really know himself?

 
What do you really know about life?
Have you lived long enough to know what's around the corner?
You'll never know life's truths, love's trials.
You'll never see your children,
Or see their smiles.
 
I'm hanging on by a thread.
I want you to see what is real.
Please just let me show you the way.
 
I want to scream
"This isn't over now."
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
"This isn't over now."
 
This has been my chapter,
This has been my closure.
My truths, my trials.
 
This is my closure,
This is my chapter,
My life that I give to you.
 
I give to you my closure.
