03. Empty Promises - You thought you’d prove them wrong. You thought you were too strong. But everyone that professed their love would pick up and run. And they promised to stay behind under a dark blue sky. Now they’ve all walked away. Left you waiting in vain.

It’s an empty shadow of what... of what it’s supposed to mean. But all those words have you chasing what it used to be. What used to feel so real makes you feel... makes you feel so numb and cheap. How much more until your heart stops to beat?

How long can we afford to live this way? They’ll keep on lying, taking everything. Could we afford to trust anyone else? How could we trust ourselves?

Break the cycle. Break the cycle. Break the cycle of giving in. Go... Break the cycle of giving in. Break the cycle of losing everything. Break the cycle of giving in. Break the cycle of losing everything.


05. Functionary - Nature plays you for a fool. You’ve lost all your control. Your mind betrays your body. Your body betrays your soul. No excuse for the ones you use. A slave to attention. Their dependence comforts you. You don’t need love, do you? Just a collar to pull. A sleeve to hold on to. No excuse for the ones you use. At the end of the day you’re still the same. Everything weighs down on you. Still empty and ashamed. The days stay long and the nights stay dark ...and the nights stay dark.

It leaves you cold and numb. Waiting for something to come. All of this will never change the tightening grip of empty space. It leaves you cold and numb. Waiting for something to come. All of this will never change the tightening grip of empty space. No excuse for the ones you use. At the end of the day you’re still the same. Everything weighs down on you. Still empty and ashamed. The days stay long and the nights stay dark.

Still feel the same. You still feel the same. You still feel the same. You still feel the same. It weighs down on you. You can’t seem to escape. Through all the lives you use, you still feel the same. You still feel the same. You still feel the same. You still feel the same. You still feel the same.


09. Holding Embers - I said I’d never go back again. I’m holding embers in my hands. It was compromise after compromise. I pulled closer and still nothing satisfied. Every attempt to feel something pushes you further away. I can’t recognize myself. I became someone else.

I pushed it further than I thought I ever would. The fool. The coward. The shameful son. I pushed it further just to find I lost myself. I became someone else.

Waking up wanting to start again. I’m holding my head in my hands, but the days trail behind. My eyes forever fixed. My gaze forever fixed. Every attempt to feel something, pushes you further away. I can’t recognize myself. I became someone else.

Just cut me down to where I belong. I need the strength to forgive myself. Just cut me down to where I belong. I need the strength to forgive myself.

I pushed it further than I thought I ever would. The fool. The coward. The shameful son. I pushed it further just to find I lost myself. I became someone else.
