This is for the damned, the ones we left behind
The oppressed, the chosen whose hands are tied
Not making up the loss of time
Just take another look
Turn a blind eye
There’s a million ways to die
They lock the streets down and keep out those who don’t look alike
Sometimes suicide seems right to the ones that are left behind
I see that shit all the time (I’m seeing it all the time)
Slowly they’re building an army upon me
I feel like my city is closing in on me
How is this just not alarming?
Strapping the tourniquet
Just when you want to quit
I’m seeing no benefit
This is all out of control
Don’t run your mouth off
There’s no more mercy for the damned just like us
No more handouts
So sick and tired of this fucking excuse
A sabotage
They’re just like us
They won’t recall
In God we trust
I will not get over this
What they did you did not deserve this
We’ve seen it all go to shit
There’s got to be a better way out
There’s got to be a better way out
This is for the damned, the ones we left behind
The oppressed, the chosen whose hands are tied
Not making up the loss of time
Just take another look
Turn a blind eye.

It’s been so damn hard to forget
I was paralyzed in neglect
I hoped I’d never see you again
Your poison does not intoxicate me
It’s just a bitter pill that I won’t swallow
Orphaning
So sickening that you’d let me go
There’s no pity for you
Orphaning
So sickening that you’d let me go
How could I forget all of the things you did to me?
Your words sink under my skin
It’s a slow burn, lesson learned
You weren’t there
For every stone you threw my way
I was just another brick to your home
This time in my next life there won’t be a next time
I’m better off alone
Your voice soothes me
Calling from the shadows
I’m sinking below my two hands
Numb to all the pain
I do not feel a thing
I do not feel a thing
Numb to all the pain
I do not feel a thing
I do not feel a thing
It’s been so damn hard to forget
I was paralyzed in neglect
I hoped I’d never see you again
Your poison does not intoxicate me
It’s just a bitter pill that I won’t swallow
A never ending story
A child lost in constant mourning
I feel my eyes roll in the back of my head
I was forgotten while you were fading away
You never gave a damn about me
But you’re lost without me
Erase my memory
Orphaning
So sickening that you’d let me go
Numb to all the pain
I do not feel a thing
I do not feel a thing
Numb to all the pain
I do not feel a thing
I do not feel a thing
Your voice soothes me
Calling from the shadows
I’m sinking below my two hands
I’ll pass away a tainted soul in a terminal euphoria

There’s only so much we can do
We feel forced in our surroundings
When was the last time we had feeling?
Are we still breathing?
You’ll never know what it’s like to make amends
Cause I can’t pretend (Cause I can’t pretend)
That you ever cared (That you ever cared)
It’s so hard to trust the unwilling
A bed of nails seems so inviting
I have no faith anymore
I have no faith anymore
With my indifference my decision was to let you go
Turned my back on everything
We’ll take our chances in this world we live in
What have I done?
What have I become?
I brought this on myself
I brought this on myself
I’m completely empty
Deserted and hollow
And when she’s screaming it’s a comforting feeling
You’ll never know what it’s like to make amends
Cause I can’t pretend (Cause I can’t pretend)
That you ever cared (That you ever cared)
Have you had enough?
When will enough be enough?
You stabbed us in the back
Enough is enough
After all the times that I stood up for you
You disrespect me
Now I’ll sit back and watch you burn
You’re fake
Selfishly loathing
Endless insulting
Spineless is all you’ll ever be
Disengaging from empathy
In spite of confrontation

You can’t expect me to live this way
You’re stuck in a moment for the rest of your life
When I found solace it trapped my soul
Given everything, this is all just a memory
I’ve searched through all my pain
Found out there’s no escape
I am not the one that you should count on
I stood there patiently engulfed in flames
You’d think you’d learn a lesson
Your life’s just second guessing
And it will never be enough
My sacrifice
It will never be enough
I can’t expect you to change anything or who I was before
It’s not like you could recognize
Who I am or what I’m about
I’ve changed for the better (For the better)
You’ve changed for the worse
It’s not like you could recognize
Who I am or what I’m all about
I’m breaking out not co-dependent
Feeling more confidence off of this
When you’re walking out my door
And never hearing from me
To you it’s all the same
What difference does it make if I burn down this fucking place?
I’ve changed for the better (For the better)
You’ve changed for the worse
It’s not like you could recognize who I am or what I’m all about

To see you again in a hospital bed
What a gift it was to taste the air again
Blinding light
Flooding my lungs
Drowning in my thoughts
To see you again in a hospital bed
What a gift it was to taste the air again
Blinding light
Flooding my lungs
Drowning in my thoughts
Don’t take this life away
I'm losing everything
Just wake me up
To see you again in a hospital bed
What a gift it was to taste the air again
Blinding light
Flooding my lungs
Drowning in my thoughts
This feeling of drifting
As my pulse starts declining
When will you hold me and tell me you love me?
Flatline
An astral intertwine
I might go blind
Cause my light shines too bright
Rest my mind
Buy me more time
Comfort me and tell me you need me
Over and over and over again
Give me the strength to bring me back from the dead (From the dead)
Slipping away we’re not giving in
Breathe this in
To see you again in a hospital bed
What a gift it was to taste the air again
Blinding light
Flooding my lungs
Drowning in my thoughts
Flatline
An astral intertwine
I might go blind
Cause my light shines too bright

A Death In The Family

This could be the last time I close my eyes and see my past life
Burning in a silhouette
Hanging on a single thread
There are no words
There is no truth
Close the door
I’ll take a step back from all these burdens
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
I’ll give away everything I wanted
Only keep the things I need
I know that death is still a promise
It’s not only in my dreams
The endlessness companionship
The narcissist inside of me
I’ve never felt so selfish
I thought you’d always be
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
Six feet deep
I feel you pulling me in my sleep
In a constant haze of emotion
Don’t let all of these memories go
Don’t let it waste away
Six feet deep
I never should have walked away
What’s standing in my way is not even there
Are you still here?
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
Too soon to tell what could have been
You met your bitter end
I thought I’d see you again
