Caught between a crossfire separate from all your thoughts. Stranded where, you choose to let, good judgement stop. You are walkin' around with your head in the clouds. Who really knows when you'll come back down. I'll be the grounding voice, but I don't even think that you know. Your world is crashing down, no one can hold your ground, can't go another round who will come save you now? And I won't be the one to fucking hold my tongue, I don't know what you want, I've given all I got. Feel the weight on your shoulder fair-weather friend, I know it's getting colder. Can you feel The weight on your shoulder fair-weather friend, it's getting colder. Floodgates have opened and I can't keep them closed. The waters rising, left you to drown below. I'm treading water to keep myself afloat. Can't watch you sink to the depths alone. Look me in my eyes, tell me what you see. I've been awake and I can't take anymore. I won't lose sleep, no I won't waste my time. When I stare in your eyes, I don't know what I see, if I see anything. Are there still pieces of you shining through? Are there still pieces of the one I knew? But why am I getting caught up In everything that's going on? I lost my nerve, get a hold of it. Before you turn away, take a good look remember my face.

Greyblood 03:59
You don't deserve me I'm far too cruel. Swim in the shallows steal the lowest fruit, always hunting feeling fucking nothing. Your hearts too big your eyes too wide. See past my demons though they never hide. Every glimmer stolen left a piece behind. Losing a fight with the beast inside. I won't stand in your way, I will clip your wings, you won't feel a thing. If you wanna go, please just know. You don't need to fly away. How long until I catch my breath? Will it be before my heart stops racing, or do I have to lay here waiting? Awake in the middle of the night. Misplaced my dreams and I'm not sleeping, I bet it all and lost completely. Lost myself within your body, keep your eyes closed Everything Is Going Grey. Every piece of you I've stolen doesn't keep my thoughts at bay. Everybody's so jaded caught up in a moment they just can't say no, and I'm over waiting for something else in the middle of the night. Misplaced my dreams and I'm not sleeping I bet it all and lost completely.

Dead Life 03:51
I try to keep it together, but its slipping through, transitioning to a darker blue. Its taking anything that I've ever had, I've lost lovers, friends, just to tell you I'm sad. Dead life. I can't cope with this, lost life, lost sight, lost everything. Greyblood runs through my veins, flowing and can't be contained. Self-destructive, I'm self-destructing. I can't help I'm pushing you away. I keep walking, I'm always walking. I'll never stop until I'm in my grave. I am on my own. I've been locked outside, nowhere to go. As night turns to dawn, do I still need the sun? I've been lying in my coffin for two years still thinking often. This isn't where I'm meant to be, I don't deserve to finally sleep. Dead life. I can't cope with shit, lost life, lost sight, lost everything. Greyblood runs through my veins, flowing and can't be contained. Set myself up, Fall for the trap, Making mistakes, ignoring the map. My compass is spinning, times only thinning, I'm in hell still, burning at both ends. I'm at war with the world and the way it should be. Look outside, I look outside. I don't want a part of it, don't want a part of it. I'm at war with myself and the man I should be, I look in the mirror, he never looks back at me.

I can't take it, I've never been this sore. I'm breakin', don't want you anymore. Where you at right now? Where's he at right now? Running around. Always running around, are you fucking around? I'm so caught up in my hate and doubt. That you're too busy to figure it out. Focused on the secrets that you're choking down. Just keep hoping that it turns around. Soak up the sun, Its only warm for so long, before the day drifts into the night. The Sun won't rise tomorrow, and night will never fall the same. Tell me was it worth it, tell me was he worth it, will this pain ever end? I did not deserve this tell me were you nervous, shedding your skin in his bed. Got me feeling kind of empty. Never thought you'd try to end me. Can't believe I ever let you in my life. Now I'm filled with so much envy, hating that you tried to mend me. You'll reap what you sow. Just let go, bless your soul. Can't believe you've grown so cold. Now your voice will never sound the same. Yeah, take a look around, Does this make you proud? You've been in his sheets, I'm begging you please just go. Take your soul, tainted soul. Go.

Can I speak equally about life and death, love and loss, lust and fear? It rips until it tears me apart. I've been derailed, the track disappeared. No way to find my way back to it, trapped in the hole I've landed in. Must the scale always be unbalanced? Does the weight always have to shift? If I'm caught in the middle forever is this burden too heavy to lift? Does pain transcend death? Do open hearts ever heal? When they lower the casket there's nothing left to feel. Everything's so dim. The walls scream life but death lies within. The outside glares through the cracks in my blinds, I can see the oceans run dry. Landscapes wither before my eyes, not a prison but I'm still locked inside. My stomachs stricken with despair, you haven't called, I shouldn't care. I haven't slept in weeks, even lost the will to breathe. Days conform with nights, in the same space and same time. Greys start to bleed through, this isn't me, that isn't you.
6.
In the absence of light and hope, with the absence of room to breathe. Feel the fear that lives inside your heart. Let it grow undisturbed and un-diseased. You want it all but the balance is in my hand. You hear it all but you'll never respect the plan. So tonight, it's all mine everything you want is mine. Let it go, it's alright tonight. Let the tide decide how the river winds choose the shallow from the deep. Let the campaign run its course until its victory or defeat. There is no place to go, there is no place to hide. I am the life you lead when there's no one nearby. Let your hands explore valleys they've never been. Feel unrest inside when you're lost within. Tonight you let love go. Sickening, disgusting, I'm nervously touching, my hand, your belt, the lust we felt. You know not of life. Can you feel it? When the bottom of my hand meets the top of your mouth and do you hear me when I'm talking to you? I don't think you do. Withered before my eyes. Vibrant Mellea. You haven't seen so much light. You know not of life.

Balcony 03:55
I can't tell who you think you are. You're just another heart-ache in my name, I guess that I deserve the blame. You're just so different now. I don't know you anymore. You keep letting me down. You left me at the door, and I won't pretend, That I never hurt you. I'm saying sorry again, but at least I'm trying. Giving everything I've got. While you're wishing it away, you are everything I'm not. I can't stop this pain, can't stop this hate. I'm sick and tired of you running away. No you'll never stop, I'll never give up. What were you thinking when you said this was love? All you want is to bring me down. Try to keep me down. Don't look away when you said you would stay. I hope you meant it this time, though I won't confide.

War Paint 02:36
The longer I'm awake the more frustrated I get. To know I'm losing sleep to fight off demons in my bed. I've never known slumber just an illusion of rest. I'm waiting for the words that will never be said. Throw your banner down there's no battle to be fought, wash your war paint off. Throw your banner down, I won't kill to make you proud of me, can't wash those blood stains off. Your held captive by conviction, causing pain becomes routine, I want to save you from your shackles. I don't know how to set you free. No rose is worth the thorns if you start to lose more blood. No kingdoms worth the crown if you lose everyone. As the leafs rest upon water dormant, to be still if only for the moment. The current picks it's pace, once calm now stirred. Every condolence you've made can't stop the torment. You've caused so much pain in heat of the moment. Rejected every helping hand to fuel your motive. Life doesn't have to be littered with constant conflict. Break my spirit, lift it up. Pull me under, I am barely hanging on. Hold me captive I have figured you out. We can make it if you'd only throw your banner down.
9.
You shout death at a funeral, fire when burning. So far from yourself you lose all discerning. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in the end. Hell’s captives have earned their scorched skin. Can't see the forest for the trees, you let the birds sing. You're fucking up the perfect calm to keep your throat clean. You lost your voice amongst the rain, but you keep screaming. But you live for this trying anything to feel dissonant. Brushed under the table I wish I was able to let this go again. You're fighting filth with disgust and it's boiling up casting harm with these hands of compassion. It's not supposed to be easy you were born of love. Now you squander these gifts with every last stone. Tear the blue from my eyes, rip the words from my throat. Lose yourself amongst those words. After all it's not your hearse. I have blinded myself things can be different than what I see. Always lost on another road. Have I cheated myself refusing to drink from a foreign stream? I'm afraid, yet expect to grow but how can we grow If we don't know ourselves? We don't know ourselves, you don't know yourself.

Greys to whites, blacks to blues. I've got a feeling I'm not cutting through. Searching but you're still always alone. Lost soul still trying to find its way home. With salt in your crops they'll never bare fruit. You'll continue to hang and choke on the truth. Why can't I hold anything close to me? What makes every light so hard to see? If this is what it's like then take what's left of me. How many more times do I have to lose everything? All this time I thought I knew if I wrote it down it must be true. Plots been twisted with no conviction, spilled ink, a different vision. This isn't how it all ends I'm not where I'm supposed to be. You had to have a different vision this time please set me free. Try to stay content. Don't get involved. Keeping my distance. All my loved ones so far from me. It's getting hard to see. I'm hidden from the one I want and the one I love.
