I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you Your hands on my neck, I’m choking dying for air Screaming and gasping for whatever’s left in my throat I know you would kill me with no second thoughts for the sake of your own life, were you really in danger? (Were you?) I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you My life? Or your life? I know you only matter It’s who you are I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you I will live a lifetime, never think of you I will live a lifetime and never think of you

I'm living on the edge of sanity and death Will I be able to come back? From this meaningless attack? I am going to lose my mind I've been sitting still for years. I literally can't do anything even though my legs still work. I am going to lose my mind I've been sitting still for years. I literally can't do anything even though my legs still work. Sing so low, down below. Sing so low, down below. I'm still waiting for your call All that's around me is four blank walls I feel so uptight and scared Why can't I just be you? I am going to lose my mind I've been sitting still for years. I literally can't do anything even though my legs still work. I am going to lose my mind I've been sitting still for years. I literally can't do anything even though my legs still work. Sing so low, down below. Sing so low, down below. Sing so low, down below.

Analyze every step I take My words are on the floor Humiliated once again My eyes will begin to seep red The shadow in the corner of the room is where I'm at Burning all the notes I've written only to rewrite them again Burning all the notes I've written only to rewrite them again

Self-Hatred 03:12
Audio samples: (Intro) "AND YOU WILL NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF AGAIN" "no one's gonna come..." "It can't be that simple..." "Be a man..." "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" "Be a man..." "I simply am not there." "She says that every living creature on earth dies alone." "Be a man." "Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like having to tie their shoes." "Sick of people who don't appreciate their blessings." "Fear and love" "Be a man..." "Well, life isn't that simple." "AND YOU WILL NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF AGAIN" "No one's gonna come." "I simply am not there." "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" "It can't be that simple..." "Be a man..." "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" "THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" (End)

Smash Me 03:28
Your face is coming smash me I know you got a mouth to feed the chair across me is always empty nothings breathing from it we'll see I'm friends with dust Live life alone Smacked in the face Price-tag on my back I don't care if you like me all that matters is someone kills me sitting and waiting for years until I'm a piece of dust Your face is coming smash me I know you got a mouth to feed the chair across me is always empty nothings breathing from it we'll see I'm friends with dust Live life alone Smacked in the face Price-tag on my back Your face is coming smash me I know you got a mouth to feed the chair across me is always empty nothings breathing from it we'll see

Sentient 03:52
Shaky hands hold phone by ear Stomach is bleeding, as usual I wish for crimson skies and waters My ears are bleeding Beaten some more my head is so sore I'm searching for something I could never want I appreciate your consciousness I felt as though there was a rift drifting us apart, I love that I'll take it around the block and hate it Beaten some more my head is so sore I'm searching for something I could never want Beaten some more my head is so sore I'm searching for something I could never want I can feel it again (DISAPPOINTMENT) Disappointment... I can feel it again (AVOIDABLE) avoidable... I can feel it again (DISAPPOINTMENT) Disappointment... I can feel it again (AVOIDABLE) avoidable... drifting us apart, I love that I'll take it around the block and hate it

Envy You 03:51
Did you know I really envy you? You can do whatever you want... Did you know I really envy you? You can do whatever you want Did you know I really envy you? You can do whatever you want and still, feel ok I think I finally lost it Did you know I'll never envy you? in this newfound frame of mind I often why it got to this point I should've known what I got myself into Did you know I used to envy you? Did you know I used to envy you? Did you know I used to envy you? When I stared at you thinking of your point of view As I hold myself underwater the sun is dead and it's gone to black I'll have one last look at the stars for good measure

Sometimes It's hard to see through your cold facial expression Sometimes it's hard to find a translator that will tell you to hit the road When the earth crumbles and we're crying We'll find we can't have the things I want and that isn't fine. we'll find we can't have the things I want and that isn't fine. Translator... When the earth crumbles and we're crying We'll find we can't have the things I want and that isn't fine. That isn't fine.

Big Hit 04:07
Creeping in the door you swore it stood there Felt a cold breeze and it was not fair You don’t help, being alive When the thing comes in there's clarity I know what you are but It can’t come here I know what you want and you get it, no one survives I’m too scared to ask why I’ll end in flames What I find out will kill me for a few days Death comes to your door, you hear it knocking Can't prolong this scheme anymore You don’t help, being alive When it comes in there's clarity I know what you are but It can’t come here I know what you want and you get it, no one survives I’m too scared to ask why I’ll end in flames What I find out will kill me for a few days You don’t help, being alive
