No Harm, No Foul

There was a bother, she wouldn’t say it
They were but blisters, just lousy stand-ins
It was apparent she couldn’t stay here
Guess they were god damn training wheels on this bike
They were holding her back from the life that she once had sought
Wasn’t her fault, so she shouldn’t feel bad
’Twas a path where she went, but they couldn’t follow
And soon this weight had crushed their brain
‘Cause they let it, they let it, oh
Feelin’ swayed by constant waves
But they bear it and carry on
This fire burns with scorching flames
‘Cause they set it, they set it on
Went through so much pain, though not in vain
‘Cause they get it, they get it now
Hurts to admit it, but they get it, they get it now
Oh they get it, yeah they get it now
They were but god damn training wheels on this bike
They were holding her back from the life that she wanted so
Wasn’t her fault, no, they understand
’Twas the road that she chose, still they feel so hollow now
Well glad they were good enough training wheels for a time
Though they were hoping for more, cut the life they’d have wanted short
Wasn’t her fault, no, it was their bad
Knew this path, once she took it, they couldn’t follow, no
Just forgive and forget it, ‘cause they get it now
So no harm, no foul

Poison

Can’t sleep
Layin’ with clenched teeth
They can’t breathe
So give ‘em some rest, put these issues to bed
Warm blankets tightly pulled overhead
One’s burden surely is only theirs to bear
Feels like breaking their bones while they pick up the pieces
Burying their lungs, filling their skull with lead
These thoughts are heavy, this chest without breath
Tears without water pour, screams without air
It’s like they were poisoned
Were poisoned
Feels like poison
Yeah, like poison
Poison
This room keeps on spinning, what’s wrong with their head?
Foredoomed is a being whose mind wants ‘em dead
He who can’t keep on fighting won’t survive the threat
Oh, these days most colors have been fadin’, it seems all they see’s red
Keep tossin’ and turnin' till all bliss is bled
Only sleep is the cure for a soul left to fend alone
For too long
‘Cause it runs in their veins to try and pretend
Why try to explain? No one could comprehend
‘Cause such is their pain that it cannot be spelled
So fucked is their brain that no one could dare mend it
Feels like poison
Like poison
Like poison
Feels like poison
Like poison
Like poison

Bleeding Out
03:30

Couldn’t stitch the wounds when needed
So started bleeding out
Torn apart at the seams
Like an old, brittle doll
Livin’ on the sidelines
While dyin’ in silence
Torn inside with no end in sight
As they hear the sirens
Wait, undecided
Been complacent, ain’t been patient
They need patience
With their own emotions
That much is evident
Might as well give up
Fuck it, they want out, don’t want none of it
Fact of the matter is, it’s nothing if none of it matters
‘Cause all of it’s worthless when none of it’s worth it
It’s worthless, it’s not worth it
Couldn’t stitch the wounds when needed
So started bleeding out
Torn apart at the seams
Like an old, brittle doll
Livin’ on the sidelines
While dyin’ in silence
Torn inside with no one in sight
To hear these sirens
No, couldn’t bear to fight the feeling
So started bleeding out
Torn apart at the seams
Like an old, brittle doll
Livin’ on the sidelines
While dyin’ in silence
Torn inside with no end in sight
As they hear the sirens
Waitin’ for a sign
But they don’t have the patience
It’s starting to weigh
‘Cause time cuts like a blade
And soon it might be too late
Been feelin’ ever so jaded and oh so faded out
How come this heartache feels both sharp and dull?
Need somethin’ for the pain
Hurry ‘cause they need it right now
Time is runnin’ out
Need to be patient?
They’re outta patience
All outta patience
‘Cause they’ve been bleeding out

Forlorn

The day you left, they started growing number
As the days were getting colder
Getting colder
The gray of life had started showing sooner
Had to learn ‘bout love’s cold shoulder
Love’s cold shoulder
Embraced but spastic shivers
Left for dead one day in summer
But it felt like dead of winter inside
The date has faded with time
But the pain is fresh in this mind
How they sometimes hope they could rewind in time
Before they were forlorn
It felt so wrong for so long
Far too long
Oh the day you left, this weight had grown much heavier
Been feelin’ lost and lonely
If only
You’d said something was bothering you
And you felt weary
Then just maybe something coulda been done
‘Cause the way you left this day felt just like
Tearin’ out the chapters of this story
No, don’t be sorry
And so today the wound’s still left just gapin’ open
Without stitches they’re left hopin’
They can find the page where you left them
Why didn’t you say you were such in a hurry to leave?
To leave
To leave
To leave
Lullaby
Feelin’ they don’t belong
Yet deeply longin’ for love
Feel like just bein’ alone
Fear they’re not bein’ enough
Fact is they’ve been here for long now
Where just bein’ is rough
Nowhere to shield from this harm
No words could speak of this hurt
Why can’t they seem to find what they’re looking for?
Why can’t they see what’s in front of this fog?
Why?
Why? (Why?)
They’re underwhelmed, it’s overwhelming
A storm is coming, there’s no point calming down
No point calming down
No, no point calming
Ship’s a wreck, no lighthouse’s shining
Shut the blinds, just leave them starving now
Leave them starving now
Just leave them, leave them be

Pareidolia

Heart’s broken
Eyes closed
Still seein’ your face in the rain
Words that were spoken
Smothered, choked
Still hear your voice through the pain
Lungs swollen
Vocal cords broke
Still screamed your name in their brain
Ripped it open
Left them hopin’
Drained the blood from their veins
They won’t pretend they didn’t see it all coming ‘round the bend
No, they won’t pretend they wouldn’t give their all for it not to end
But their will and strength have given out and they can’t defend, can’t make amends
These legs are weak and this path is hard to walk upon without your hand
Still seein’ your face in the rain
Still seein’ your face in the rain
Still seein’ your face in the rain
Still seein’ your face
Seein’ your face in the rain
