and the world will never know
its not that they would.. if they could
so oblivious to the rest of us
its all about you, you, you
never giving the time of day
to anyone in any way
were all so self invovled
how I loathe us all
we are losing the grip on reality
like the boy cried wolf
we can do no wrong
Reach out your hand and see
were are the hostages
never to be free
Burn them
burn them all to the ground
burn them
burn them all to the ground
i said burn them
dont look back they are just faces in a crowd
things will never change
as we march single file
all these years and we still cant get it right
yet tonight we dine
becoming everything that I despise
every relationship is built on lies
can you truly tell me when you look into my eyes
everything is going to be fine
can you truly tell me when you look into my eyes
everything is going to be fine
if you want to look at the upside
we wont live forever
and if you want to see the silver lining
we wont live forever
everyone will die but noone will know why
why are we on this wretched earth
when you turn your back on us, you're just one of them
when we try to fight back, the war will begin
the war will begin

How To Burn Bridges

how long do you think that, you can keep up this facade
you aren't even worth your weight in gold
a chip on the shoulder, a thorn in the side
thoughts purely metaphysical
it comes as no surprise
bury your head in the sand
run from the shadow that follows
burn every bridge for miles and miles
when you finally get to the gallows
a myriad of pathetic and apologetic lies
straight from your mouth
everything you say is circumstantial
evidence that you have no heart
left in your chest
a burning building is our friendship
the blaze so big and undistinguishable
never lend a hand when i fall apart
never there for me at all
now i walk through the ashes
of what we used to be

An Inconvenient Truth

when was dissolution anything more than what we are
the constellations are more than just stars
they tell a tale, a once upon a time
a familiar feeling washes over your mind
im not here to make things better
nor to make things easier
im just here to be
and one day, one day you will see
standing at the top of a skyscraper
oh how they scrape the sky
looking down at the ants
we are so small we are so Irrelavant
plunging down story after story
nothing but a few seconds of flight
an awkward abyss of silence
ask yourself was it worth it
deeply inhale and open your eyes
you never even jumped
you will never ever jump
because this is just a metaphor for life
a sardonic look at a synthetic existence
really should have pulled the ripcord
risen to the top of the clouds
now gazing down at the future
oh the possibilities are never ending
they tell me anything is possible
but i know that nothing is certain
the right side of the road in the wrong state of the mind
flooding my emotion with disingenuous ideas
reexamaning life, unfolding the fibers like an oragami swan

History On Repeat

don't tell me what to live for
I've accepted whats happened to me
they said i wont give you the light of day
they claimed i would always be the unclean one
but i wont back down
no i wont give them a chance
to make me feel incompetent and small
rise up and take it, that feeling of self respect
you try and hold it in when you grieve
but then tell me why is lie in be[lie]ve
you should always wear your heart on your sleeve
but then tell me why is lie in be[lie]ve
dismissed by them all
thinking they pulled the wool over my eyes
to their dismay i will take them all on
every word you say is like poison to my ears
i still refuse to be pushed down
they will be held accountable
make no mistake they will die
hand for hand eye for eye
we must make them pay
hand for hand eye for eye
make them truly suffer
hand for hand eye for eye
no remorse or regrets
hand for hand eye for eye
we shall be free in the aftermath of society
we don't want the past to come back to haunt us
don't let history repeat

i built these walls
to keep you out
take a look at me
and tell me you dont see
what i see
i've got a weak heart
or so ive heard
i have a soft mouth
and i never said a word
i take the plunge
in an instant im transformed
but you never liked me that way
i remove the mask
and its like i am reborn
but you never see that side of me
be who you are, but who are you
a lie is a lie, now tell me the truth
you disguise it all, all so well
another minute is a minute your living in hell
dont you think for a second
that your getting off that easy
every time i see those eyes
a fire burns within me
its all for nothing
its all for nothing
and nothing will set you free
you strive for something
that something is, to believe
i built these walls
to keep you out
there is nothing more that can
save you now

I've made so many mistakes
I'm at the lowest that i've been
I've made so many mistakes
I'm at the lowest that i've been
I want to tell you everything
I just dont know where to begin
whats the downfall
wheres the catch
so devoid of feeling
a single ounce of regret
I've made so many mistakes
I'm at the lowest that i've been
how can i dwell on past failures
and not feel like a fraud
you gotta move on
I gotta move on
living in a glass house
how can you not throw stones
words will never hurt me
but what about my bones
everyone wants to believe in something
but do they really want to know the truth
they strive to know everything
living like they have nothing to lose
give me this night
or i will take the day X2
what once was here is gone
i could see that all along
each and every heart you touch
turns to ash and crumbles into dust
