Era Of Numb 02:49
When I left the dream I stepped into a living nightmare I bet you have your share of secrets Things you want nobody to know So don't be so quick to judge me When you know I'm not alone Wrong is the the only thing I ever got right I'm getting my blood- flow back From the waist down Ending the era of numb From your punch below the belt There's a fire within One that I can't put out It's gonna burst its way out, dear Burn us both to the ground Now there's nothing left but ashes In the shape of a heart No matter what they say once you're in You can always find your way back out I left your chains and your prison To lock myself up in a cell of my own
2.
She's almost perfect When 'almost' doesn't cut it anymore I see myself stop trying As if I had no say in what I want She likes abuse Without a purpose or a use You've miscarried the cross on your back Leaving your sins and your guilt intact I can smell the guilt on you But I'd rather taste your regret She aims to tease Not to please And she tastes of disease Ideal companion for my best mistakes It's so wrong, it makes perfect sense I honestly cannot lie Not even if I try The way your body moves The way you look at me Bare all the signs of an open invitation To make God proud of our sins
3.
Listen to the silence It's the best I could create You're the muse behind my violence And the nurse who feeds me my meds They told me to wait And I bit the bait That's what I get For leaving it up to fate Trick or treatment is all we believe in It's not the worst but it's just as good Trick or treatment even if we don't need it A flat-out lie that feels like the truth Recreational abuse Has been proven to be The quickest way to lose But warnings never stop us From doing what we want From hurting each other Even when it's not fun Push me to pills until I can’t pull away
4.
My bones are made out of sand And the blood I pump is just oil The people around are spoonfuls of salt And I'm the only one thinking this is all my fault Locked-in Within Trying not to cave-in I had my self-esteem surgically removed And my pride has been sterilized Is this the future? Or is it the past? Dèja Vu's loop of my karma From the first day to the last You know when depression Becomes a real close friend Because every brand new morning Feels like just another day
5.
Set Free 02:43
There's no such thing as right anymore Only degrees of wrong When there is no one left to trust And you get past the skin Down to the bone Build a belief Grounded on deceit Will you be the one to bury me Once it's all said and done? Dirt on the ground Will I hold the hand that guides me Through the darkest corners of my mind? Out of time Will they understand the nature of What's truly meant to be And set us free? And if everything I've ever known Each one of the things I've grown to love Would turn to dust and put me back in square #1 So I can burn it right down to the ground
6.
Ignorance is bliss And you get happier by the second Feeding your own piss She-demon with a mouthful The only reason you are in on the joke Is because you are the punchline You are your own wishing well Soon-to-become your fucking grave But that's what you get For trying to suck the sick Destroy to enjoy because you know No one cares that you exist Gearing up to be Most used muse of the decade Only to be seen By those who stray from their path She's on a mission Almost a religion To turn into your sin And your punishment combined
7.
Complaining is easier than trying to solve Winning the race towards nothing at all Trying to buy a good reason to die So once and for all we can sell to the dead We work on the life that you need to live Building the walls of the prison for you to feel free You know it's true The joke is on you So tear it down Into the ground Before there's nothing left to fight for Make no mistake It's you or them And they don't need a reason to stop Look into their eyes and define what you are They will sink in their teeth and bleed you dry
8.
You can bitch and moan all you want We both know I'll do what I want While you're still stuck In what you want to do Why do you even bother If you know I don't care? I can be the right to all your wrongs I can make you feel like you belong But all you have in exchange Is the seed of decay
9.
It's not enough to say the right thing It has to be the right time You can dwell or look for comfort In knowing that you tried Whatever we do, wherever we go I want you to know that none of this was a lie This doesn't feel like it's over Even though we've said our goodbyes There's no treatment and no medication To get you out of my heart If you could turn me into you If I could turn you into me If we could all of this into ourselves This kinda love cannot be ended Only redefined And all the smart play-on-words I designed just for me to hide
