It hurts so much To see but never touch The time slips by from me Slipping on my pride It’s deep, deep inside These feelings I want to hide These thoughts so clear Are broken by my own fear Nothing to understand What’s left of this frail man? Who’s he the one so weak Whose thoughts are all so bleak? It comes but never goes It’s always me who sometimes knows Of what I really am I’m glad you understand What’s left? It hurts So much To see But never touch

Slow Time 04:31
your presence means nothing without your touch your voice will never mean quite as much i know it’s not real real to think it’s better off not knowing not knowing a thing you were right it not meaning a thing your eyes will now forever forever sting knowing that you could never be there hurts in a way you could never care alone i stand and i stay forever is an awful price to pay will i ever stand at the base the base of your heart not me i’m playing a different part i can never shake these thoughts they might slow in time but they will never never die

Stuck 05:18
moving through this space and time the world means nothing to me my thought are of anger and pain cause that’s all i see tradition tells me where and my place to be rusty are my thought of change and they’re something i need if i face the grain will i parish and die in your eyes of hate no answers, no why will i get to break this mold or keep on drifting down i’m screaming for some sort of change but i’m not making a sound limit in time limit in mind limit in life i’m stuck

Dignity drops like flakes of skin Forgive and forget I’m the victim The blinders are ripped from my eyes The front is now shown I can see the lies Drowning in hope where’s the surface? Where are my eyes? They’ve been stripped from my head My ears shut off I can’t hear what you’ve said The pain rips my mind never stopping for fear I reach for myself my actions not clear I choke on every word that I’ve said to you You’ve sucked the life right out of me I confronted you but you fail to see That I’m tired and it’s getting fucking old I want to break you and your fucking mold I want to seize you, I want to break you What can I do to get through to you? Can’t you see what’s inside of me? Are you going to suck the life out of me? Stripped of my innocence I gave you my trust Once a believer can you taste my disgust What have you given me to remember you by? Just painful reminders and a mouthful of lies So many times I have trusted so many times I have fallen Too many times I have trusted too many times I have fallen I’ve fallen down, I’m falling down

Think 02:50
i move where i want to move i see what i want to see i am everything my parents pay me to be i fight for what is right well at least for today why don’t you listen to me cause i got nothing to say you got it you’ve got something for me something to lead something to lead me to me you’re everything so innocent so new but try and take and i’ll take it from you i stand on what i know you think i’m stupid does it show i’ve been there well what do you know i’m tired and don’t play you and me are one in the same do i care do i care you can’t make you can’t make me you can’t make just make me think

Shadow 03:56
I am infection, I am disease I will take you, to your knees I will not harm you, for I cannot Your pain from others, will be brought I am infection, I am within I do not doubt you, you will give in You will fuel me, as I move in I do not doubt you, you will give in I will fuck you, bring you to your knees Drag you down my staircase, of pain and grief A shallow mind fuck, a pool of doubt A broken day dream, there’s no way out I am infection, you know I’m there You can’t ignore me, because you care I’ll never leave you, you’re my best friend My blood runs through you, until the end I will fuck you, bring you to your knees Drag you down my staircase, of pain and grief A shallow mind fuck, a pool of doubt A broken day dream, there’s no way out You can’t erase me, go ahead and try Because I’m with you, until you die I am your daydream, I am what’s known I am your flesh, I am your bone I will infect you

Life Unfolds 05:59
sitting trying to forget what i’ve done it won’t go away i try to make it go away what have i done why won’t it stop i try so hard to forget go from my mind i don’t want you here what have i done i can’t see i can’t feel i can’t breath just watch me bleed i am beneath you so far beneath you i can’t feel you just let me in
