The Realm of Lyrics Never Finished

Alright, so, after writing about 30 full songs, i have quite a few unfinished lyrics
I decided to place unfinished songs here, as a showcase of things that could have been, but didn't see the light of day due to me completely ditching them for one reason or another

"I'll leave you in shambles
And you'll leave me in chains
I'll leave and lock the handle
You'll leave me in the rain
I'll take my things and run
You'll take your hate and love
I'll take any way this could be spun
You'll destroy it all from above

Find another reason
To hate each other
Leave a few new lesions
As we duck for cover

Live and discover
Make a mistake and make it recur"

Reason for Ditching It:
I find it hard to write songs that i don't directly relate to
Even though i have done it in the past (For example, the song 'To Be Determined' is about being in coma), this song, about a relationship in which neither side get the good end of the deal, was something that i simply couldn't bring myself to complete

"Euthanasia
And now you'll try
To put me to sleep too early
But i, am not ready to die
Euthanasia
As the light hits my eyes
My hands are cold yet steady
And i, am not ready to fly
Into the light"

Reason for Ditching It:
This one was a set of lyrics i came up with on the fly, while listening to Breaking Benjamin songs and trying to think of song ideas
I ended up going to one place i normally go to when i'm trying to think of lyrics, personal issues with my parents, but i just wasn't feeling it at the time, and decided that the amount i had already made with this idea was enough at that point... Until a month later, when i used the idea multiple times in K.I.L.L. M.E. N.O.W.

"I keep looking down
Afraid of what's up there
I can't see their frown
Afraid of how much they care
Its sting will hurt less
Afraid of a harmless little bee
I can't clean my mess
Too afraid to fall, and afraid to see
The pieces of my broken mentality

Why do i always feel
My entire body shake?
My mind's a turning wheel
And there are no brakes
I'm scared to hear the clock stop it's tick
I can't ever look ahead
I'm scared of what's to come
Skin is cold and dead
All of my fear is never numbed
I'm scared of everything, i'm pantophobic"

Reason for Ditching It:
Actually, i don't know, i like this particular set of lyrics quite a lot
It simply fell victim to one issue i have a lot with creating things, that being, putting it down and never picking it back up again
I might just return to this some day, however, today is not that day

"I wouldn't say i'm depressed
Maybe just a little stressed
But i feel you're unimpressed,
and you think i'm a fool at best
I'm just a little bit anxious,
and there's no way i can trust,
that way you smile and say "Just,
don't worry about it" and i lust,
for a day when i couldn't care less

I don't want to talk about it
I'm afraid of what you'll see
And i can't stand to stand or stand to sit
I'll wait untill it breaks me
And i'll burst and shout it
Right in your face"

Reason for Ditching It:
This also falls under the category of 'putting it down and never picking it back up again'

"Shouting in my face
It's getting a bit repetitive
You're the fancy little basket case
Try being less destructive
Acting formal to others
Trying still to destroy me
A reputation that smothers
So nobody can employ me
Bring your formal insanity
I'll bring my usual silence
Manners lost in profanity
Resorting to verbal violence

Just drop the act
Show what you are
Don't cover the fact
A monster in a cocktail bar
Hit me with a verbal spike
Being too coercive
Now what is it like
To curse in cursive?"

Reason for Ditching It:
Same as 'Pantophobic' and 'Untitled #2'

"Clean my palms
Remain calm
Break no rules
Play the fool
Remain neglected
Keep inside
Cannot hide
Bottled up
Fill my cup
Still unrespected

What did you see
When you looked in my eyes
Disrespect me
Don't you dare lie
Was it cold
Did you still see nothing
Can't stay untold
So tell me everything

Am i gone yet
So tell me
Am i gone yet
Just say it for me
I'm too far gone
Forevermore"

Reason for Ditching It:
This one was really more of an 'anger piece' than anything
I was really angry with a friend at the time of writing it, but i ditched it as soon as i realized that my anger was really unjustified in that particular situation

"Help me, i am no longer breathing
Been filled up with toxic gas
Help me, although you are seething
You can't just walk on past
So what, i found my own meaning
Don't you kill me just yet
So what, you're twisting and leaning
Trying to make me regret"

Reason for Ditching it:
Same as 'Euthanasia'

Ey, by the way, if you enjoyed these unfinished lyrics for whatever reason, you might just be interested in the lyrics i actually managed to finish. Y'know, the ones i mentioned at the start of the dispatch.
So if you just so happen to feel like taking a gander at those, feel free to click upon these other dispatch links:

This is To Be Determined, not like, it's yet to be determined or anything like that, that's just the title
This was a project i decided to do back in 2016 to get into poetry and song writing, writing a couple songs over some time, but i only truly started this album back in September 2017, when i wrote the first lyric in this dispatch
I had a lot of fun making this, improving my writing over this time, and finding my style
I really put my heart into it, so i hope you all enjoy!

You're holdin' me back
Makin' me stall
I'm tryin' to get on track
But you don't care at all
Makin' my cars crash into a stack
With one little phone call
Keepin me in place like a thumbtack
Don't you know i'm not your ragdoll

You're dead weight
You're hangin' on for dear life
But you don't know what you're doing to the life you're hangin' on to
You're dead weight
You hang on even through struggle and strife
And you don't care what you do
What you do to me

Maybe you should stop hangin' onto this life of mine
Because you're losing your grip on your own
Maybe you should stop puttin' me into a bind
And stop throwin' those stones
Maybe then everything will be fine
Just leave me alone
But you keep crossin' that little line
Now it's time for you to atone

You're dead weight
You're hangin' on for dear life
But you don't know what you're doing to the life you're hangin' on to
You're dead weight
You hang on even through struggle and strife
And you don't care what you do
What you do to me
But soon you'll see
And you'll finally let go

Frozen, it's all just

Frozen, it's all just cold

Frozen over
An arctic December
A cold planet and i'm a rover
Scouring an icey land of frozen embers
Searching for a sign of life
But everything is gone
Everything is desolate
Now all i can do is run
I just can't take another hit
I can't yet face the afterlife

It's all just
Frozen over
And i must
Take cover
Gotta search for what's left in the wreck of the tundra
It's all just
Frozen over
Gotta find something breathing before i go under
'cause there's nothin' left to lose
I've lost it all before
And there's nothin left to do
When i'm rattled to the core
It's all just
Frozen over
And i must
Take cover from
Hell frozen over

Looks like i'm out in the wasteland again
Miles and miles with nothin' but snow
Same old plan, gotta find another surviver before the end
And make shelter for a new home
Soon to be destroyed by the cold
Gotta make my way through it, nearly bare
Skin bitten by the frost
Need to make ends meet before it all tears
And all i have is lost
Making my way through the same old
Same old hell

Through the same old hell
Yeah, through the same old

It's all just
Frozen over
And i must
Take cover
Gotta search for what's left in the wreck of the tundra
It's all just
Frozen over
Gotta find something breathing before i go under
'cause there's nothin' left to lose
I've lost it all before
And there's nothin left to do
When i'm rattled to the core
It's all just
Frozen over
And i must
Take cover from
Hell frozen over
Hell frozen over

What a situation
What a choking constriction
Something that is gripping me
Holding way too tightly
Just let go
I don't want to stoop that low

It feels just a little bit
Feels just a little bit
Just a little bit tighter

Leave me be
You've got a leash on me
Give me what i need
And set me free
Let me run away in the night
I don't want to fight
I just want to feel alright
And it's just a little bit
Just a little bit tight

What a broken connection
What a deadly collection
Why do you poison me?
You think you've un-done me
Just let me go
And let me know
I won't have to stoop that low

It feels just a little bit
Feels just a little bit
Just a little bit...

Leave me be
You've got a leash on me
Give me what i need
And set me free
Let me run away in the night
I don't want to fight
I just want to feel alright
And it's just a little bit
Just a little bit too tight

Can't awaken the solution
Can't fix the confusion
It's so mysterious
Can't awaken my mind
Can't know truth of this kind
I'm still unconscious
Can't feel my way
Can't figure out what to say
Trying to hard to wake up, be cautious
Be cautious

I must find the answer
I'm stuck dancing around in the dark
Unable to find my dancing partner
On this quest i must embark
I can't even see why
To this mystery i am not akinned
I think i found it but it's all lies
It's still to be determined

I'm lost and the nothing i am nearing
I'm questioning and i'm fearing
It feels oh so cold
I'm slipping downwards
I can't be a coward
I must be bold
I'm answering or at least i'm trying
I'm forgetting the ones who are lying
Forget what you've been told
You've been told

I must find the answer
I'm stuck dancing around in the dark
Unable to find my dancing partner
On this quest i must embark
I can't even see why
To this mystery i am not akinned
I think i found it but it's all lies
It's still to be...

The nothing is not my friend
And now i'm slipping under again
(Stay under, stay under)
Into the hell i've made for myself
Alone with the nothing, and nothing else
(Stay under, stay down)
(Slip into the void, and drown)

Don't do this
Let me wake up
Don't do this
Tell me how to wake up

I must find the answer
I'm stuck dancing around in the dark
Unable to find my dancing partner
On this quest i must embark
I can't even see why
To this mystery i am not akinned
I think i found it but it's all lies
It's still to be determined

Drifting through the wind
Just a lowly leaf
Starting over, we begin
Lying through our teeth
Avoiding the flames again
Things are looking meek
Hoping it's an 'if' and not a 'when'
Buried alive some time next week

It might be a shade lighter
On the other side
It might take a fighter
Who just won't abide
It might not be so low
Up on cloud nine
I wouldn't know
Because that life's not mine

We're hoping to evade
And not go completely insane
Stabbed with a spade
Walking with crutches and canes
Broken now in both ways
We hide in the sheets
Here, forever i will lay
This hell. we casually greet

It might be a shade lighter
On the other side
It might take a fighter
Who just won't abide
It might not be so low
Up on cloud nine
I wouldn't know
Because that life's not mine
Yeah i wouldn't know
Because that life's not mine

Why not take a step
Onto the gallium path
Cold it's usually kept
It melts, forming a bath
Fill your lungs with metal
Breathe it in, breathe it out
Withering flower petal
With a whisper, not a shout

A metalic breath
Gone cold and solid
A tragic death
Close those eyelids
Never coming back

Gone missing forever
Leaving no traces of life
No future endeavors
Cutting off like a knife
Unfound by the living
Until another suicide
Graveyard of the self-unforgiving
Breathing it in, they all died

A metalic breath
Gone cold and solid
A tragic death
Close those eyelids
Never coming back

Never, ever
Just leave it all behind
Never, forever
Nobody will find

Repeat yourself, you monster
So it can marinate inside
You're breaking another
Just intoxicate my mind
It stares me down
I'm floating in the bay
I'm gonna drown
And make it fade away

Falling to pieces
By the grain
Disintegrate, disintegrate
It never appeases
It won't abstain
Dislocate, dislocate

Why don't you leave
And take my body with you
I still can't believe
I what i allowed it to do
Now i'll break from it
And leave this lonely world
I'll be gone in just a bit
Aim, fire, and let it unfurl

Falling to pieces
By the grain
Disintegrate, disintegrate
It never appeases
It won't abstain
Dislocate, dislocate
Long ways left
No one there
It still berates, it still berates
Brand new cleft
I will tear
I can't wait, i can't wait

(Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe)
Take it away, don't you leave a trace
Take it away, give it another place
Kleptomaniac

You sneak in the night
To take away my basic human rights
I turn out the lights
Can't catch you, try as i might
Gracefully and quietly you go
You tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe

Take it away, don't you leave a trace
Take it away, give it another place
Kleptomaniac

I say goodbye
As my life is taken from me
You will always lie
And say it wasn't you, and never will be
Painfully you take what i know
You tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe

Take it away, don't you leave a trace
Take it away, give it another place
Kleptomaniac
Stay far away, don't you come here
Stay far away, take away my fear
I can't keep track
Of the lives you've stolen and bodies you've left behind

Everything's so sweet
No we aren't ignoring anything
Fowers lining the street
Just like the joy we always bring
Nothing's happening
There's nothing wrong with us
And now we sing
About the things for so long we lust

Milk and bubblegum
Things seem sweeter when you're young
Forget that rule of thumb
Mess with the bee, you won't get stung
Milk and bubblegum
Milk and bubblegum

Overbearing saccharine
Don't try to brush out the taste
Saying what we mean
No we didn't take the bad and erase
A beautiful painting
Just don't mind the throbbing pain
Our patience is waning
Sweep it under, cover up the stains

Milk and bubblegum
Things seem sweeter when you're young
Forget that rule of thumb
Mess with the bee, you won't get stung
Milk and bubblegum
Milk and bubblegum

I don't claim to be deep
Nor can i claim to be shallow
I don't claim to like the reaper
Nor am i afraid of the gallows
I can't climb a mountain so steep
Hence why i feel oh so hollow
But i don't care
No i don't care...

And now we have a huge contrast
A somber start never made to last
Seeing things now with a blunt clarity
Because being me totally sucks
And now i want a million bucks
To cover up the cost of keeping my sanity
I turn another page
Pretend to hide my rage
And i don't know why i keep on
Reading on

I don't care anymore
You can call me a dirty w****
You can say that i'm just lazy
Or possibly a little crazy
But i don't care

Everyones got a problem, you see
So just say what's wrong with me
I got a real case of stockholm syndrome
I still love this life i hate so much
Gonna go over with just one touch
You better start making me a tombstone
This book has no good plot
Just a character to fill a token slot
And i don't know why i keep on
Reading on

I don't care anymore
You can call me a dirty w****
You can say that i'm just lazy
Or possibly a little crazy
But i don't care
You can say i'm slightly mirthless
Maybe even completely worthless
You can tell me to redo all of those walls i never even painted
You can tell me to crawl back into the womb i always should've stayed in
But i don't care

I just feel so right
Happy, cheery, bright
Looking down upon myself
I just feel so wrong
Frail, broken, won't last long
Deeper i refuse to delve
But i have to

Snap my bones
Just turn me to stone
(Turn me to rubble)
Right eye's all gone
Oh how it's stars shone
(Tunnel vision, i'm in trouble)

Color's just a memory
Now i see my life in mono
How it ceased to be
I still don't really know
No more stereo-sight
Mono-sight of my surroundings
Once was so bright
Quietly, painfully, i sing

I feel so whole
An ever burning coal
In the middle of the rain
I feel so broken
With only one eye open
The other filled with pain
Asking 'do i have to'

Snap my bones
Just turn me to stone
(Turn me to rubble)
Right eye's all gone
Oh how it's stars shone
(Tunnel vision, i'm in trouble)

Color's just a memory
Now i see my life in mono
How it ceased to be
I still don't really know
No more stereo-sight
Mono-sight of my surroundings
Once was so bright
Quietly, painfully, i
Painfully, painfully

I sing, an endless song
Can't see forward, no turning back
I got the words all wrong
Stretch me out, upon the torture rack

Snap my bones
Just turn me to stone
Snap my bones
Just turn me to stone

Color's just a memory
Now i see my life in mono
How it ceased to be
I still don't really know
No more stereo-sight
Mono-sight of my surroundings
Once was so bright
Quietly, painfully, i sing
Painfully, painfully

You haven't yet learned
You eat away at me like i'm dinner
Haven't you yet heard
Absence makes the heart grow bitter
For both of our sake
Stop, unless you want to kill me
I can never ever take
What you have come to be

We haven't spoken in so long
Why'd you leave in such a stupid way
We haven't spoken in so long
Why'd you go and manipulate me

It's been so long
I thought you were my friend
I thought you were gone
Until the very end
Don't you do it again
No, don't do it again

Change just won't come
Why'd you make me so pessimistic
Why not try at least some
And next time don't be so narcissistic
You left late last month
Try to call you and you won't pick up
You know i liked you once
Until you removed all your heart's makeup

We haven't spoken in so long
I don't know why you had my trust
We haven't spoken in so long
Why'd you go and manipulate us

It's been so long
I thought you were my friend
I thought you were gone
Until the very end
Don't you do it again
No, don't do it again
No, you did it again
No, you did it again
No, you did it again

Goodbye, good riddance
Until the very end

Sitting by the water
But the water's not there
Thinking a thought
Of diving into a pool of air
I feel all the elation
But i'm pained on impact
Hitting the ground
And i always knew the fact
It would hurt

Because the future's dark
And the present's bright
I make one more mark
And then fly into the light
I love you and goodbye

I saw another face
Looking straight down at me
I grabbed a hand
One that i didn't even see
And i didn't let go
So now i'll be in pain i know
I was ripped away
I always knew how it would go
It would hurt

Because the future's dark
And the present's bright
I make one more mark
And then fly into the light
Now that i'm so far away
I can't take another moment
I just want to go and stay
It's gonna hurt and i know it
But it feels so worth it

And why, i don't know
I love you and hello

Things might fall apart
Right from the start
But at least i'm not dead
I might bleed out
Until i end the drought
But at least my blood's still red
I could get hurt
Pushed into the dirt
But at least i'm trying my best
I could be eaten alive
I might not be able to arive
But at least i'm not depressed

No, no, no
Not yet at least!

I could try to cover it up
And say all the things that i'm not
But when i cut a little off the top
To forget what's under, and it's a lot
I feel like i've gone deaf
To all of what's in front of me
And gotten lost in my own emptiness
From trying not to see

I'm decomposing
My parts corroding
But at least i'm not in hell
I might be lied to
I might not know
But at least i made someone well
I might be paranoid
Some might be annoyed
But at least they're all having their fun
Maybe i can't fight
I might be on the spotlight
But at least i know how to run

Yes, yes, yes
I can still run at least!

I could try to cover it up
And say all the things that i'm not
But when i cut a little off the top
To forget what's under, and it's a lot
I feel like i've gone deaf
To all of what's in front of me
And gotten lost in my own emptiness
From trying not to see

Doing my normal activities
On a normal day
And, as everybody sees
Everything's okay

Then to my shock and surprise
There are alarms blaring outside
This is how everybody dies
A death-coaster and we're all on the ride
Because it's the end of the f***ing world!

Grab all of your things
Drop into the bunker
As your ears still ring
A warning of slaughter
Everything outside
Is all radioactive
The telecast hadn't lied
It's the end of the f***ing world!

All your neighbors
They're all mutants
Left in the embers
Their hunger constant
Grab your supplies
And prepare to survive
Cover your mouth, and your eyes
it's the end of the f***ing world!

Bombs have dropped
Volcano's exploding
It can't be stopped
Everything's eroding
Find a survivor
And repopulate
Don't just sit and quiver
it's the end of the f***ing world!

The end is here
Your end is nigh
It's your worst fear
Looks like you're gonna die
It's the finale
Welp, at least you tried
Because, you see
it's the end of the f***ing world!
it's the end of the f***ing world!
And it's the end of this f***ing album!

Read dispatch

K.I.L.L. M.E. N.O.W.
Which stands for 'Kidding! I Love Life, i Might Entertain, and i'm Never Over Wilted'!

My goal for this lyric album, was to tell a story, one that's still going on as we speak, that story being my life.
In specifics, my life over the past few years, in which, a lot has happened, as you will soon see
And i think i did pretty well, granted the short period of time i wrote this in
So, i hope you all enjoy!

Oh, momma
I'll always love you
But i have to go
You've done me wrong
So now i'm writing a song
And reminiscing real slow
So i'll be on my way
Sorry, i just can't stay
Because here i feel so low
I've seen your thoughts, momma
So let's skip all the drama
Because i know, you know
I've got to go

So i've gone
On my own path
At first light shone
But then it passed
And now i crawl
Out of the dark
Away from it all
To a difference so stark
Unable to say it
Shutting my mouth
I hope you know every bit
Of what it's about
I know you won't
I know you will
You know i don't
Want to stand still
So now that i read
What's on the wall
I wait to be lead
By the future's call
Because momma
I differ from you
So as i try to stand taller
I've figured out what to do
I say my goodbyes
And proceed to stumble
As i look into your eyes
And i quietly mumble
What's wrong
You know what's wrong
Oh momma you know
Oh momma...

I'm feeling slightly saturated
Soaked in what i always hated

I was there
When it went wrong
I can't bear
To wait that damn long
I just fall off
Down into the bay
Hack and cough
As your flood washes me away

I'm feeling slightly saturated
Soaked in what i always hated
You've filled my burning lungs
Pulled me down the ladder rungs
Feeling, hated
Burning, down

I'll look for
My own way to go
Out the door
Away with the river flow
And, when i went
And lost my way
Heaven sent
A flood to wash me away

I'm feeling slightly saturated
Soaked in what i always hated
You've filled my burning lungs
Pulled me down the ladder rungs
Feeling, hated
Burning, down
You kill me just to revive me
You 'protect me' so contrivedly
And now i'm drowning in your head
But i'm not ready to be dead
Kill, contrivedly
Drowning, ready

No, i'm not ready
Feeling, hated
Burning, down
Kill, contrivedly
Drowning, ready
No, i'm not ready

Broken down, falling apart
Is the place that never was a home
Past goes straight for the heart
Everyone i knew acts cold as stone
Now i can't wait for it to restart
And for everyone to just leave me alone

Drag me, down
Pile me, under
Burn this, down
Throw this, under

Help me out, just grab my hand
And dig me out of this quickly
Take me away, from what i can't stand
I'm becoming so pale and sickly
Just lead me, believe me
So i can finally, kill the past

In the middle of nowhere
Out in a murky, muddy, dying field
I lie down, and up i stare
I find i'm unable to make my head yield
I've been here for years
Broken by this place, i can't be healed

Nobody can, care
Let me, break
I don't even, care
I'll let this, break

Help me out, just grab my hand
And dig me out of this quickly
Take me away, from what i can't stand
I'm becoming so pale and sickly
Just lead me, believe me
So i can finally, kill the past
So help me, leave this

Don't look up now
Just refuse to accept
Please don't look down
You're so unkempt
And you pray to anyone
So that you can stay
But you know everyone
Will have to die some day

You're so young
Don't you worry
Air in your lungs
Will leave in a hurry
Learn to let it go
So it won't hurt
The wind still blows
When you're in the dirt

Don't fear the dark
It's better than nothing
Just make a mark
And let it be something
But nothing's alright
You won't have to be
Let go of your spite
And get up from your knees

You're so young
Don't you worry
Air in your lungs
Will leave in a hurry
Learn to let it go
So it won't hurt
The wind still blows
When you're in the dirt

Why won't anybody see this
Why has everybody just missed
The point i that i see all alone
Why do i see this so different
Why don't i go the way they bent
This hits way too close to home

But i see it clearly now
I see all the ways how
I'm not so wrong after all
And i won't let it this world fall

I have a disposition
From the hive opinion
I just don't see it the same
When everyone is so blind
I haven't yet lost my mind
I find that i'm not the one to blame

Don't try to force it
When i just don't fit
Into their closed-eyed views
No i do not believe
But i still can conceive
A way to connect all the clues

And i see the truth
In the prime of my youth
I'm so glad i realized
i won't let it this world meet demise

I have a disposition
From the hive opinion
I just don't see it the same
When everyone is so blind
I haven't yet lost my mind
I find that i'm not the one to blame
So just let me walk away

It's been dry for so long
In the corners of my eyes (Can you see through?)
I feel a great sorrow coming (It's passed)
As i sing this cloudy song
From a man who never cries (When he wants to)
Whose feelings are numbing (To wrongly, never last)
Who wants to smell the petrichor

The rain will never fall
When the time is right
Leave a drought to stall
Clouds pass by the burning light
And i will always be
That man that feels so numb
Who's on his knees
Upon rain falling from things more dumb
And when will the petrichor come, when i want it to?

When i was younger
And when that man died (Why didn't i?)
No rain came down on the day (It doesn't feel right)
Well i felt rumbling thunder
But all the lightning lied (Clouds just passed by)
All was dry, and dry it stayed (A feeling of a mental blight)
And all i wanted, was a little, petrichor

The rain will never fall
When the time is right
Leave a drought to stall
Clouds pass by the burning light
And i will always be
That man that feels so numb
Who's on his knees
Upon rain falling from things more dumb
And when will the petrichor come, when i want it to?

People pass me by
I'm there for a limited time
They tend to divide
As i walk on the finest line
Now i ask if i still care
I can never ever tell anymore
is aybody still there
From what i once was before

I'm calling out to the past
Trying to piece it together at last

So many mysteries
They never have answers
So much history
That we never remember
Lie here before me
Return me to the sender
Let it once more be
And re-ignite the embers

What was that sound
I think i've heard it back when
I find it surrounds,
me in memories of my lost friends
I never got close anyways
They just walked right on through
Now the past is at bay
Leaving me cold and without a clue

I'm calling out to the past
Trying to piece it together at last

So many mysteries
They never have answers
So much history
That we never remember
Lie here before me
Return me to the sender
We know it can't be
So we'll burn away the embers

You tried this before
You took longer every time
And failure's what's in store
Maybe it could be a sign
Bound to lose what you adore
Maybe alone is just fine
But honey, that'd be a bore

What could possibly go wrong
In finding where you belong?
Well it's everything if i'm honest
But i don't need to make a list
Because you already figured that out
And you know what the game's about

So you're on the road again
Leaving a trail of tracks behind
Away from the past that could've been
Long ago, you crossed that line
They're tracking your rightful sin
When you're only the one being kind

What could possibly go wrong
In finding where you belong?
Well it's everything if i'm honest
But i don't need to make a list
Because you already figured that out
And you know what the game's about

So now, you've found life
(It's just on the other side)
And they're holding the knife
(Ready to pierce the inside)
But you hear life's call
(You're ready for it)
And you climb the wall
(You don't regret a single bit)

What could possibly go wrong
In finding where you belong?
Well it's everything if i'm honest
But i don't need to make a list
Because you already figured that out
And you know what the game's about
So now you start this game again

I was inspired by someone on the screen
A good year and a half ago
Made a silly little thing, and you'd seen
You left a gretting down below
And as you know we've been,
Talking a lot, and getting to know
What we've missed all our lives
And trying to help each other survive

In a world so odd
It plays out like this sometimes
In a golden escape pod
On a trip to a garden where everything's fine
A new, happy song for you
In my little, depressing poetry book
And i'm glad i got to
Experience these things that got me hooked
On you, St. Annyna
St. Annyna

You pulled me right on through when
The wind blew me so far out
So i aided quite the same and then
Barriers came in large amount
But i broke through walls that were so asinine
And found my way around
Finding your light so i could feel it shine
Can you hear the sound
Of the water flowing in the bay
To wash all of our pains away

In a world so odd
It plays out like this sometimes
In a golden escape pod
On a trip to a garden where everything's fine
A new, happy song for you
In my little, depressing poetry book
And i'm glad i got to
Experience these things that got me hooked
On you, St. Annyna

(Wolves)
(Rabid, ferocious, majestic)
(Beautiful predators, they are)

Come now, watch the heathens go
Welcome to my friendly horror show
Take a look, and come real close
Blind your eyes with their individual glows
See my beautiful ring of f***ed up friends
They're great, not like you'd get that hint
That through horrifying past, comes a glint
Of light in the eye of those no longer innocent
So please don't be so afraid to get bit
Because once you know, you'll know them 'til your bitter ends!

This is a land of love in blackened hearts
This is a pack of wolves you can't tear apart
So follow me under and wait it out with us
Because once you hunt you can't deny the lust
For the company of this pack of wolves

Lonely little wolf, i see you're so eager
To join into our fray of meat-eaters
So don't be afraid, just join right on in
Just don't refrain, happiness ain't a sin
Welcome to the march straight to hell
Take the plunge into our endless display
Of how none of us are ever more than okay
But we're all pretty fine when we're
Hunting together, and smelling the fear
Of those we have never ever wished to be well

This is a land of love in blackened hearts
This is a pack of wolves you can't tear apart
So follow me under and wait it out with us
Because once you hunt you can't deny the lust
For the company of this pack of wolves

(These wolves are gathering together for a hunt)
(And it looks like one has spotted the prey just now!)

A good friend of mine
Is a troubled alcoholic
Trying to find where happines lies
At a discount
A discount
But it'll cost her all the same
Because i'm gonna knock on her door
And find that happiness never came
No

Everyone's looking for a
Cheap way to live
Cheap way to forgive and forget
And a cheap way to survive
But it'll end up costing us all later on in our lives

A bad friend of mine
Is a master of manipulation
Trying to get some easy elation
At a discount
A discount
But it'll cost them all the same
Because they'll knock on opportunity's door
But nobody will answer because
Of all the s*** on their name

Everyone's looking for a
Cheap way to live
A cheap way to not have to give
And a cheap way to survive
But it'll end up costing us all later on in our lives

Well i know
That you think something's got me
F***ed up inside
Get ready for the show
Because now you're gonna see
You're completely right

And the thing that's got me so broken
So dirty
And f***ed up
What got all my life stolen
So unworthy
And so stuck
It's always been you

And you need to let it go
Don't be so fearful
And don't try to change it
I can't wait to let you know
And give you an earful
To finally rearrange it
And make you see

Well i'm tired of this
Of what you've always implied
And what you so wrongly think
Remove my faked bliss
And say why it is i always lied
Before you make me sink
Again

And you need to let it go
Don't be so fearful
And don't try to change it
I can't wait to let you know
And give you an earful
To finally rearrange it
And make you see

You think i'm so weird
You think i'm so wrong
Because of what i do and consume
And you know i've beared
This burden too long
For you to continue to assume

And i'm done
With your mess

I wake up and
I rub the sand from my eyes
Yet they still sting
From the shimmer of a thousand taillights

Well i'm breathing this fresh carbon
Every minute in this place
And follow down the path so beaten
As this heat gets me dazed
Now i can't help, but be so nauseated
On tasting the plastic waters
And i can never be comfortably situated
For i'm stuck in these gutters

I wake up and
I rub the sand from my eyes
Yet they still sting
From the shimmer of a thousand taillights
And i'm bathed
In the colorful, blinding neon
So let me be saved
From this place that's been long gone

This has become a new overgrowth
As you can clearly see
"It's no big deal for man and brand both"
That's what they told me
But now i've got sharp shards of glass
In my eyes made of dirt
So i drag myself along this paper grass
Out of that world of hurt

I wake up and
I rub the sand from my eyes
Yet they still sting
From the shimmer of a thousand taillights
And i'm bathed
In the colorful, blinding neon
So let me be saved
From this place that's been long gone
Let me be saved
Let me be saved
Because they still sting

I know that you're trying not to
But it feels like you're stating
Everything wrong with me
And i know you don't want to
But i feel you're still berating
When you get this angry

It's the voice of internal darkness
Inside me, forming the likeness
Of non-existent hate

And it's a little late
For my head to be racing
Again, over and over again
Waiting until the time comes when
The thoughts stop pacing
Back and forth

Well you know i can't decide
When it feels this heavy
And i feel it everywhere
You know it's like cyanide
All these insecurities
A feeling that i just can't bear

It's the voice of internal darkness
Inside me, forming the likeness
Of non-existent hate

And it's a little late
For my head to be racing
Again, over and over again
Waiting until the time comes when
The thoughts stop pacing
Back and forth

Happy
Happy
Happiness
Fails

Pulled away
Won't you let me stay
I know why you see
These things so differently
But please just let me be
And let me stay where i'm happy

And i get it, you're not so pleased
Just forget it, let it flow out with the breeze
I get it, you have some bad memories
Just forget it, please just release

I love you still
But i also never will
Say when it will end
So i can crawl back again

Always hating
I'm sitting and waiting
For when i gotta say goodbye
I know it'll happen every time
I don't care, these people i still adore
So what are you yelling at me for

And i get it, you're not so pleased
Just forget it, it's not a disease
I get it, you possess the keys
Just forget it, i'm done with my pleas

I love you still
But i also never will
Say when it will end
So i can crawl back again

And when i crawl back again
I'll say hello to happiness
And when i crawl back again
I'll be at my best
And when i crawl back again
I won't love you any less
And when i crawl back again
When i crawl back again...

So you're too far gone
To ever be fixed
And you're so done
With the stones and sticks
Take a fresh blade
And make it fast
Dig with your spade
And bury the past

Because it's curtains!
Come on, make haste
It's curtains!
What a goddamn waste
Over and under
Through and through
Blown asunder
It's curtains for you
It's the end of the show so
Make the curtain call!

So you found memories
Locked far away
And you planted the seed
To their newfound dismay
But they shot you down
In the prime of existence
Now listen to the sound
Of their final sentence

Because it's curtains!
Come on, make haste
It's curtains!
What a goddamn waste
Over and under
Through and through
Blown asunder
It's curtains for you
It's only the beginning of the show
But you have to
Make the curtain call!
