Oh, The Irony

Reality sets in when the illusion has gone
Disappeared with the passing of time
Disappeared upon the exit of love
And joined by the crushing weight of existence
The crushing weight of eternity
I just want to reach
I just want to breathe again
I just want to live my fucking life
Time wastes itself on no one
Cares no more for one life than another
We age, we die, we move forward in life
Time wastes no time at all
Fighting against my better nature
Every moment that I’m awake
I wonder how many times, I can
Fool myself before I figure it out
At the heart of everything
There is always a flaw
In this case it’s my belief
At the heart of everything
There is always a flaw
At the very heart, I found my light
I may have been self-centered
But at least I wasn’t self-serving
Don’t take me back to that place that felt like home
Don’t take me back
To a time when I
Thought I cared
A false sense of comfort
Will never be welcomed again
I know where I am
I know where I belong
I deserve a life of love and security
And I know where to find it
And I swear to god I won’t be sad
To never see that place again
I’ll fight off every past demon
To get my hands on what is mine
To reach everything that I deserve
Everything I’ve worked so hard to protect
And I’ll stay here forever
Because I know what’s best for me

I’ll bury myself In the soil of my sins
Dig a hole in my deception and sleep forever.
I’ll stand above the precipice and watch
Everything fade
It’s time to grow, time to open our minds
And time to bury our former selves
To bury our guilt and sorrow
To bury the broken pieces of our past
There is more to this than just the surface
Dig to find the deeper meaning
Within theses words
You need to free yourself
We need to change, we need to grow
Or perish with those who cannot see one their own
We pray for those we love, we pray for those we’ve lost
But have no hope in our hearts for those unknown to us
Our silence is deafening
We refuse to raise our voice, it’s time for us to change
Perish if you must, isolate yourself
Stay stagnant in your ways – let us move on
We can sit and watch the world pass us by
Or we can take the reins, create a new beginning
We have the power to mold our surroundings
We have the strength to change the world
We are the voice of reason, we are the truth
We are the voice of reason, we are the truth
We are the truth

Earth Above Me

Burn me alive for the lie that you’ve made of me
To protect your own skin, to hide from your own sin
Burn me, for everything I’ve done for you, was never enough
I’ll rebuild my body from the ashes you left behind
The weight of existence tears away at my sanity
Put my body below the dirt and seal away my dreams
And they’re asleep
But no rest for me
And for every mistake that I’ve made
I can’t forget and move on in peace
Like ghosts doomed to walk the earth
They haunt me
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
Tonight.
If you want you can watch this smile fade from my face
I’ve spent my life speaking, but no one will hear me
I’ve spent my life, chasing a fucking dream
Gained nothing, solved nothing, lost everything
I need nothing else, but I want so much more
I fight myself for control, but I fall again and again
I need nothing else, but I am never satisfied
I’ll take this to my grave
If I can make it through tonight
I am scared, that only my mistakes will define me
But I can feel the weight of the world, slowly breaking
Pulling air into my lungs, finding strength
To lift myself above all my failures and set me free
If only I could believe
Everything they’ve said to me
But I know better than that
JUST LET ME BURN
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
With only ashes and meaningless memories
I wander a broken world

How long, must we, fall for the same excuse?
Hide from reality, avoid the truth?
Find love, find truth
Seek change from all around you
Leave behind the struggles, the failures,
the weights that chained you to hate and ignorance.
The sun won't wait for us to set.
Find the truth
Open your mind
And free yourself from the grave you've made
Free your mind
From the grave
Save yourself from the hell you've made
Shed the toxic and break free
Far too many sink
And never find their way
We struggle for air
Drifting away, I can't see
Where my feet touch the
Ground anymore
Please remind me
I don't want to be lost
Separate body from mind
Find the light inside yourself
Pull yourself away from the world
From the poison and the hate of every day
Breathe easy
The weight will lift away
The dream is over
If the warmth of the sun
Becomes a nightmare
Surrender your insecurities
Teach yourself love
Teach yourself peace
I will anchor my own feet
To the bottom of the sea
Where the salt becomes my friend
And the air my enemy
Keep me from breathing
Keep me from seeing
Just leave me be
In the safety of the depths
Doubt will never describe us again
In this world that was left for us
Doubt will never describe us again
In this world that was left to us
No longer will we wait
I will become, a black hole
If I can’t break myself away from this hateful world
