Chemical Trails

I've been to hell and back
but the only thing that's true to me is
I am lost inside a wasteland
I am lost inside my head again
Can't see the end
I bite my tongue to hide the shame
It's the only thing that makes it seem like everything's okay
I'm blinded by the chemical trails
A smile everyone knew was forgotten
No, it can't be
I won't waste away
Familiar faces and sounds won't end me
This ship is going down, break me
Lost sea, drowning in my mind
I cannot define the state of my mind
This situation's gotta go
Static growing
I'm wasted
Black noise
Abnormality
A dissonant lie
How can I fight this on my own?
I'm calling a savior
Familiar path on my end
Not sorry to say this
This lie has gone on so far
I'm blinded by the chemical trails
A smile everyone knew was forgotten
No, it cant be
I won't waste away
Familiar faces and sounds won't end me
I'm not alright, I can't say it enough
A thousand miles left
Running
It's happening again
Late nights up, and I'm out of it
I'll be alright, oh it'll be just fine
(I'm screaming for the blinded)
I'll be alright, oh it'll be just fine
(I promise)
I'll be alright, oh it'll be just fine
(I'm not alright, I can't say it enough)
I'm screaming for the blinded
(A thousand miles left, running)
I'll be alright, oh it'll be just fine
(It's happening again)
I promise
(It's happening again)

Hit the Ground

There comes a moment when you disagree
with everything that you're meant to be
Winding roads, they will take you far
even if you don't belive
Sit down
Patience
Keep on going
You'll see the light at the end
You'll see the light at the end
There comes a time in our worn out, jaded lives
when the face in the mirror fades,
and it's hard to recognize
You're sick of waiting, and almost at the edge
Letting go, if you jump right now,
I swear you'll hit the ground
Running
Running
Don't you ever let the others say
who you are and what you need to be
For once just take control
of something, just anything
Sit down
Shut up
Keep on going
You'll see the light at the end
You'll see the light
There comes a time in our worn out, jaded lives
when the face in the mirror fades,
and it's hard to recognize
You're sick of waiting, and almost at the edge
Letting go, if you jump right now,
I swear you'll hit the ground
Running
I swear you'll hit the ground
Running
I swear you'll hit the ground
(Running, running, running)

So don't take me (take me) home again
I'd rather be standing on my own two feet
Trying not to push anything away
There's only so much I can take (My fist lets the wall take the blame)
I'm not sad. I'm not numb. I'm not anything at all..
but I definitely feel a change
All the smoke in my eyes feels good enough to stay blind
And lately I've been wondering why
You're not the only one, no you're not alone
I can't stress this enough, but just to let you know
It's all about the way that you picked up the phone
I might as well have spilled my guts to a dial-tone
So don't take me (take me) home again
I'd rather be standing on my own two feet
Give me back my light
Without it, it's hard to see at night (my eyes will adjust with time)
I can still feel your touch
I just miss you so much
Your work won't be left undone
You're not the only one, no you're not alone
I can't stress this enough, but just to let you know
It's all about the way that you picked up the phone
I might as well have spilled my guts to a dial-tone
So don't take me (take me) home again
I'd rather be standing on my own two feet
Letting the air out of this bad situation
Painting my walls blank, it's time to start again

Another Monday

I see a golden opportunity
to be up all night; a fantasy
I'll take you out to get closer
in hopes the warden leaves us loners
Will this turn out to be one of those days
where I can't seem to get my head straight?
So when everyone is slowing down
My head is in the fastlane (his head is in the fastlane)
Watching out for you, c'mon lets go
Turn it off and put it down
'cause it's just another monday
Trust me, this won't be really easy
But then again, I get this feeling
Closer and closer, I see the light
Now I know that eveything is alright
Will this turn out to be one of those days
where I can't seem to get my head straight?
So when everyone is slowing down
My head is in the fastlane (his head is in the fastlane)
Watching out for you, c'mon lets go
Turn it off and put it down
'cause it's just another monday
I'm just so intoxicated by the voice inside my own head
Is this just a dream?
Well I can't get past this feeling inside
Will I find some closure tonight?

White walls surround me
Welcome to my home
Hope and fear come over to play at night
Don't be shy, 'cause trust me
i'll be out of here in no time
Trust me, I can take what's rightfully mine
Who am I to say I'm fine?
Holding onto smiles, live in pretense
Help me, I'm fading away
Someone, please come and be my savior
'cause I don't want to go just yet
Well, I'm looking around to see myself in two
Oh, no
I'll never forget
'cause I don't want to go just yet
The other kids all follow while I'm holding down the line
Well, alright
..but they don't understand this loneliness inside
A soldier, fighting for their life through hope and peace of mind
And I can't feel anything next to you
Who am I to say I'm fine?
Holding onto smiles, live in pretense
Help me, I'm fading away
Someone, please come and be my savior
'cause I don't want to go just yet
Well, I'm looking around to see myself in two
Oh, no
I'll never forget
'cause I don't want to go just yet
Help me, I'm not feeling like it's time to let it go
Help me, I'm not feeling like it's time to go
A decades gone with open arms
It took some time, now I'm wondering why
Thanks to you, I will be okay
Now open the doors
Now onto better days

Heavy Moon
03:45

I've been sleeping in 'til late
Worried about what to say
When friends ask me how I'm doing
just smile, "I'm okay."
I'd hate to bring you down this rabbit hole with me
of unwashed clothes and bloodshot eyes
and a head far too heavy
I don't need your fucking sympathy
Just want you to hate myself as much..
as much as I hate me
I blame the heavy moon
A cold shower to shock the nerves
but that shit doesn't work
when you can't feel anything anyway
and that new leaf never turns
I'm sick of feeling like I don't fucking fit in
So I mark myself permenantly
and let the ink speak through my skin
I don't need your fucking sympathy
Just want you to hate myself as much..
as much as I hate (me)
Grinding my teeth
Feeling weak at the knees
I shut my eyes
but it seems like I keep twisting the knife
They stop and they stare
Just let me be
When will this gloom stop looming over me?
I blame the heavy moon
Held down, not against my own will
The bottom tastes better than I think it should
It's intoxicating, but it kills anything inside that's good
Admit it, not feeling alright
I don't need your sympathy
Going through these motions, it's just a part of life
but it seems like I keep twisting the knife
They stop and they stare
Just let me be
When will this gloom stop looming over me?
I cant blame the heavy moon
(anymore)
