There were no songs left to sing
I grew numb to everything
To exist was like a nail in my mind
So I shut myself away
Slowly waiting to decay
Wondering what I would leave behind
The sense in me knows
it was all self imposed
I was caught in the throes of a heavier dose
The sense in me knows
it was all self imposed
Cause I’ve seen that doors can open as the last one is closed
Staring down the barrel as my world was blown to bits
I gained an understanding of why ignorance is bliss
Nothing I’ve done could have prepared me for this
I’ll remain disfigured, but somehow glad it didn’t miss
From the trenches of the war where the head and heart clashes
A weary soul rose up from the ashes
Now I am grateful for the pain and all it’s given me
I’ve become much stronger than I ever thought I’d be

Left alone in a room with my head
Ruminating on all my regrets
The endless cycles repeating
Coax me into believing
That I might just be better off dead
Another day is lost as the light begins to fade
I only close my eyes hoping I will never wake
The morning sun keeps reminding me
I’m so far away from who I want to be
It’s like I wasn’t meant for this earth
I can’t help but question my self-worth
It seems impossible to grow
When all your cracks are on show
And all your blessings feel like they’re cursed
All the weight on these shoulders pull me deeper with each passing day
While the hope I once clung to’s drifting further and further away
Loneliness will breed introversion
I must do everything to keep the curtains open

Farewell! All Joys

In my life, to give love
Was all I ever wanted
Yet when others had it
They took me for granted
Somehow I failed to see what was right before my eyes
Until its lifeless corpse began to putrefy
I always neglect my heart never the love it bares
Though it seems giving myself won't get me anywhere
Will my compassion be the end of me
Or am I better off embracing apathy
I've been to the ends of the earth to get nothing in return
The only thing I took away was a lesson to be learned
I've been to the ends of the earth to get nothing in return
The only thing I took away was a lesson to be learned
I always neglect my heart never the love it bares
Though it seems giving myself won't get me anywhere
Will my compassion be the end of me
Or am I better off embracing apathy
No-one will let me down if I live in isolation
No-one will steal my crown
And take advantage of my foundations
I don't want to, but if I have to
I'll face the world all on my own
I always neglect my heart never the love it bares
Though it seems giving myself won't get me anywhere
Will my compassion be the end of me
Or am I better off embracing apathy
Will my compassion be the end of me?
