Daydreamer

The sun, it whispers in my mind
Its pale glow reflects off abstract
Forms, as the wind grates against my skin
If I repent will it make me feel again?
I’m sick of living life with deadened nerves that can’t feel the dread within
Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave
I’m granted sight of life that was depraved
As they wither and writhe before my eyes
Blotting out my darkened sky
The weight of the world it breaks my bones, but I’ll carry it all
The weight of fear, weight of hate, weight of pain, weight of loss
The weight of self-disgust
Yet still I cling to life
Still I cling to this cold life
And I know now this is what I crave
A life dulled from the sadness and the pain
Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass
I feel this is the only life I’ll know
Bloodstains of a time so long ago
I feel so cold
Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun
I will swallow the sun to fill the void inside
Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun
I will swallow the sun to fill the void
Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave
I’m granted sight of a life that was depraved
As they wither and writhe before my eyes
Blotting out my darkened sky
Oh, I know now this is what I crave
A life dulled from the sadness and the pain
Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass
Collapse from the weight, these dreams compress me
My mind is so weary and my words depress me
Clawing at the walls, they are trapped inside me
My legs feel so heavy, they refuse to move me
Collapse from the weight

Suicidal Tendencies

Nights like this, I want to be alone
Nights like this, just let me be alone
It’s all a joke, and I don’t want to live anymore
All you’ve done is build me up to break me down again
Its nights like this
I see no light at the end of this tunnel
Am I doomed to descend forevermore?
Left to rot on my own, so cold and so alone
Drowning in sorrow
I’m just a remnant of the world I used to know
I saw no hope in your eyes
I find no solace in these grey skies
All I ever wanted is for you to be alive once more
And these suicidal thoughts are just closing doors
These thoughts are just closing doors
I watched you go, I saw you leave
I watched you go and leave me (x3)
You put the full stop where the sentence blossoms into a story (x2)
And now I’m left here, alone

This You Swore
04:10

It shouldn’t be hard to comprehend
It was a promise you made and a promise you knew you’d break
You said goodbye in a bed of roses
A second it takes to become a memory
You call it progress, this broken world that I see
Just as my thoughts, how often they brought reality into my hands
Lifeless bodies drift out of sight from my callous eyes
And your shadow creeps beyond the sight of my conscious mind
I live through the days but don’t feel alive
These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’ve wasted my time by looking for light
In places that I never knew
You said it’d be easy
But we both know it wasn’t true
Oh, how I long for the state of mind I possessed before I had known you
Dragging myself through the mists of stagnation
Convincing myself I’m beyond your redemption
Broken and bound by the stench of my failures
Drifting through absences left by familiars
What was so wrong with the past, that we had to move on to the future?
These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’ve wasted my time by looking for light
In places that I never knew
These nights are far too long
And it hurts but I carry on
I’m finished shedding my skin with each day
But my eyes still burn in the light of day
These storms will carry us
And I’ll continue without you
I’m wasting time by looking for light
In places I never knew
