I'm always shocked the first time
Less the next time
Then I do it all the time
I'm shocked I cared the first time
It's good to see you, but I'm tired
I know what you've done
Be seeing you alone getting pissed on
Do I even know you anymore?
You won't notice if I lapse
I'll just slip through the cracks
'Hello,' and, 'how are you?'
To a look, and, 'who are you?'
Depraved, corrupt, marred, malignant
Eat me up
Life's gone
Lived long
Way beyond
Itself
Drowning
Take it all, take it all
And choke on it
This heat is numbing
Elbows rubbing
Burning pressure
To be fine
I watch as the stain dries in
Our heroes are dead
None of us are fine
Time will kill again
Drowning
Take it all, take it all
And choke on it
What's burnt is dead
Less and less and less

I See Plastic

I see water
Lapping upon the heels
Of a body hung in trees
Stretching out to God
I see flowers
Scattered before the dawn
Rotting under decay
Burrowing underneath
I see plastic
Wound around the pallid skin
Of a faded memory
Clawing at the door
I see flies
Hung upon the bloated corpse
Of a figure
Drowned in regret
If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?
I see mist
Condensed upon remains
Stained
Where they chose to pass
And lay down dead
I see morning
Leaving the trees wanting
Waining
Where we lost ourselves
As the sun swings high
If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?

I'm not the bad guy
I'm the worst
I don't try to be
It comes easy
My arms raised
Palms held outward
Be saved
Do not touch me
Confess the sins
I've failed
Fuck me
Escape the body
One foot
Incessantly planted
Never yield
Cannot adapt
Picking and pulling
I've stopped pushing
False regrets
Retract, regress
Confess the sins
I've failed
Fuck me
Escape the body
Propped up puppet
Shut the fuck up
Cut it off
Before you start to love it
Coward in a lifejacket
Dead maggot casket
Creature palette
Unborn habits
Outspoken
Rarely wrong
Rarely right
It's just a song
All your blights
Are nothing more
Nothing at all
Anymore
Peel back my skin
I feel so frail
Help me
Escape the body
Maybe someday it'll be over
But I know it won't
It's as cruel
As I can be
Maybe someday it'll be over
But I know it won't
It's as cruel
As I want to be
It'll never be over
I know it won't
Cruel
Is all I want to be
I'm not the bad guy
I'm the worst
I don't try to be
It comes easy

Don't just stand and watch
You've seen this all before
Someone put and end to this
Before I end up hurting myself
I don't know what the fuck I'm doing
You know this all too well
Putting my hands on things I shouldn't
I don't know what to do with myself
Don't just look
It's fucked
Don't just watch
Cut me off
I don't know how to use this
Face in the mirror
Count cracks in my eye
It's time to die
Don't just look
It's fucked
Don't just watch
Cut me off
I need helping hand
More than just a smile
There's a shrowd I can't wade through
And an overwhelming urge to hang myself

It's not fun anymore
It was always there
It's not fun anymore
It never was
It's not fun anymore
It was always there
It's not fun anymore
It never was
Something passed into my room at night
I let it walk right in
It was always there
Just talking to me
If I could just make it through the night
I can't hold the tide alone
I was always here
Just talk to me
It's not fun anymore
It was always there
It's not fun anymore
It never was
I wish I had a reason
Love is not enough
It's not the season
It's just me

It's late at night and I haven't answered a call
Been wondering if I even care at all
Been wandering all night til the sun swings 'round again
I've opened up and let it in
What's the difference between hope and indifference
When nothing makes any sense
I pull back and regress
As if I could lose any less
I don't want to bruise you, but I have to
It's not so simple
Love's not
So I give up, I surrender
I choose not to remember
It's not so simple
Love's not
It'd be easier to hate
The ones you loved the most
Than to give up
The ghost on the ones held close
I pull back and regress
I couldn't lose any less
It's not so simple
Love's not
Just waiting for their tired hearts to stop beating
Lament the days we keep on bleeding
Noone should feel this lonely
Don't hesitate to call on me
