Savage 04:48
As I gaze upon my past I wish I, I wish I could just go back Equipped with all the knowledge I have gained Would it be different? Would it all have changed? How can this happen? Let's go back to when it all began To when I was on top of the world The stars at my finger tips I could truly feel back then I left my heart wide open Only to be consumed by the world And spit back out again Even the ones who I loved the most at the time Assisted with my demise And maybe it's made me a little less tolerant Of the ignorance I cannot go back to being that kind kid again It's far too late Let me tell you who I am now I will eat you alive and tear your heart out A cold blooded killer (With peace at mind) I'll drag your body to the riverside I saw the colour leave your face I made no promise that you would wake I see a white flag raised, have you finally realized? I am the alpha I am everything you hate I am your nightmares All the light, I'll take away And your world will grow dark I'll bring the whole world down with me Without a shred of guilt I'll crush what you believe I have no room for empathy This is what life has made of me I guess this is just who I am Holy fuck, what have I become? You've given me everything you have And I just can't get my shit together I'm sorry love, I know I'm not enough A dark soul is all I've become I am a savage

Disowned 05:15
Why the fuck are you the only one that I cannot confront? A disaster imminent. Can the course of time be altered? It's okay, you were replaced long ago Tell me more, tell me more about how my life disgusts you That will mend our bond, right? Nothing ever will It's over, you can't change I am nothing but a disappointment So you say You have never been more wrong about me I can feel it, this is the beginning of the end How can you be so wrong When it comes to your own son? You don't even know me anymore But let's face it you never did After 20 years, what can you say? Is that really what you want for me? Trapped in a room, painted in white Every fucking day for the rest of my life And you judge me just for trying to survive But I fill my lungs while you drink from the bottle You've been disowned Why can't you truly learn to feel? No, you can't leave yet You owe me some answers first Why won't you face me? Face me like a man Just once, Just once Drown in the hole that you live in You've given me nothing of value No guidance, you skip the advice just tear me down like you do everytime (Not one pleasant memory) I have not one of you It's about time I tell you the truth We'll, that's the truth I wish I could have nothing to do with you No easy way out, you'll find no loopholes I kept my mouth shut all these years Just hear me out, it's your turn to listen I just want to know what it means to be happy I am trying to find my place in a world that just isn't for me You don't make it any easier I'm cracking under the pressure There is no other way What else is there left to say? Forgive me father, I am just a man

The Outcome 04:40
Where has the path gone? And how the fuck do I get home from here? Fuck Maybe I can retrace my steps But will I hold myself back again? And venture out some more, drifting farther into the dark Fueled by my apathy I am my enemy But I can do nothing to stop it I only have half the map but I still shouldn't be this lost Everytime, I attempt to get back on track But at what cost? My friends, my heart, my hopes and dreams My well-being, my drive, my family Which one will it take from me now? Which one gets buried underground? Let me let you into my mind for a second Look around, yeah, it's dark in here I haven't found a light switch in years Though I stumble upon a source of light some days But the dark comes out and tears it away I guess it's up to me what the future has inside A constant battle, and I'm terrified Look at me I'm dead in the eyes It is in my chest It is in my bones I fear this is as good as it gets And there is no way home I'm sick of the hold it has on me I can't escape it's grasp this time It has me within it's reach It controls my mind Please tell me mother, tell me it will be okay I'm sorry brother, I wasn't there to guide you the right way (Now this is the time) Look me in the eye (Listen to me) You must be a better man than I Or else as you grow The entire world you will despise And this is what we call life Why don't I feel alive?

What is going on within me? My body's growing weak and my mind is trying to escape Please, tell me this is as bad as it gets Tell me how long this will last I watch my loved ones leave me behind everyday Without a second look in my direction Without me, they walk out that door I can't believe I trusted you with my life A mother's love should know no bounds You're leaving me here to die And the world felt so far away when you said those words to me The world felt so far away Watch what you say Anything can be arranged I've been scared, I've been brave All alone in this cage After 2 years I've woken up Right in the middle of my worst nightmare I can see you, I can hear you If only you knew My body is my prison I am painfully aware of everything around me As my condition deteriorates I live in fear of a life alone I lose my senses, my grip on reality As I fade away What are the odds? I save myself and you thank god I was nothing but a hollow consciousness But I know what you said I know you wished for my death Now you're dead to me

Holdfast 03:45
I regret it all but it made me who I am today I'll take my pride, I won't look back I wish I could burn it all and start again I don't have enough to salvage this time There's so much this life lacks It's all too short but I'm always looking back On who I was, my hopes and my dreams They were all stolen from me Gutted like a pig Haunted everyday by my decisions This is what I asked for I wish I could be the ignorant one You make it all look so easy And it's hard looking at the world so poorly I know too much, it will never go away I look outside, I see my friends moving on Content with the life they chose I've been looked down upon I have been cast out Too high on myself to conform And too low to enjoy a normal life Am I running out of time? I am afraid the walls are closing around me I'm out of options This is a dead end Where do I go from here? Why can't you see it through my eyes? Why can't you feel what I feel? You see, they've made you blind The tide is rising and the wave will swallow you I am the young and the hopeless I never wanted any of this To be an old soul with such a young mind The knowledge, the courage to step out of line Always forced to change I'll tell you now I am no slave
