“Look around, there’s nothing left to break.
That's just the risk you run when you stay up late.
So, go home…”

"How deep does the snow have to get
before you admit you can't handle it?
Let me show you what you don’t want to see;
You don’t have the skill to be what you want to be.
You missed your shot, no one’s waiting for you.
Just quit while you can or let the frostbite take you.”
The writing on the wall
Was put there by him
He clues me in
When he speaks I have to listen
("You'll never make it")
He tells me all the things
That keep me insane
So that I'll remain
Never saved, and unforgiven
("Give it all up")
“How deep does the snow have to get?
How deep does the snow have to get?
How deep does the snow have to get?
How deep does the snow have to get?”

Blow out the highlights and shadows
High frequencies, and crank the lows
No chance to think about drowning
Soak up everything around me
So come and bring on the overdose
Tie off my arm and flick the vein
Inject the color right into me
Quell the infatuation
With vibrance and saturation
Look at it all spiral down the drain
Every sound
In surround
The fun part is long behind us
But I can’t keep my eyes shut
My senses, duller by the minute
My senses, duller by the minute
Pounding on my head it
feels like motion sickness
I think I might have made a mistake,
The flashing lights give me a headache
Chemicals spilling over the top
I feel sick and I wanna stop
String along a 3 word sentence
That requires all my attention
It all goes black, my head hits the countertop

Superiority Complex

I don’t wanna hear about
All the things you've got figured out
Falling behind
Makes you a failure in everyone’s mind
It makes me a failure in everyone’s mind
But I’m not a failure
You think that I'm wrong
But I know
That I’m better than you
I've been silent so long
Cause it shows
I've got nothing to prove
With what’s on the line
It’s no game
You’re my enemy
The obvious truth is that
There’s no one out there better than me
With every advancement you make
My success, you might as well take.
And I wish I was happy for you,
But I’m fucked cause of how well you do
My head is all wrong
Cause I know
I’m not better than you
I've tried for so long
And I wish
I had nothing to lose.
With what’s on the line
If I fail
It’s all over for me
So you’ll never hear me admit
That anyone is better than me.

"Your imagination
Is deceiving you, I bet.
Such a vivid picture
Of something you'll never get.
Forget about
the way you want it to turn out
Get out in time,
And you could still have a life
They saw clearly, but you didn't.
You'll always be no one. Isn't
that okay?
Went lost as soon as the sirens called you
You're cornered, choppers swarm around you
It's never mattered, all you've gone through
Just cut your losses, leave it behind you
Don’t join the rest of the lost causes
Anxious, and in up to your neck
You tried and couldn’t handle it.
It's all your fault, so why isn't
that okay?
Forget the dream
Come and join reality
Forget the lies
That have cost you so much time
Forget about
the way you want it to turn out
Get out in time,
And you could still have a life
(Your imagination)
Went lost as soon as the sirens called you
(Is deceiving you, I bet)
You're cornered, choppers swarm around you
(Such a vivid picture)
It's never mattered, all you've gone through
(Of something you'll never get)
Just cut your losses, leave it behind you
The bombs are dropping, you’ll never pull through.
Take a step back and look around you.
Just give up, they don't want you"

Is this what it's really like
To see the world
not just in black and white?
It’s all I imagined it
The angels called
And gave me the gift of sight
The light washes over me
It all feels okay,
I have a chance to breathe
Confusion will fade away
The haze is finally gone
And I can finally see that
Anger, unvalidated,
turns to bitterness and hatred

"Your life is so pathetic
Stacked up, never how you thought
Always short of underwhelming
What if I told you that you could
Fix everything that's broken
In the blink of an eye?
You've ruined so much
But it all goes away when you close your eyes
Changing your way of thinking,
A traumatic thing to go through
You're missing out on nothing
No one gives a fuck about you
This broken world you live in
Breaks down and cries for no one
A perfect world awaits you,
And it’s just as real as this one
Fix everything that's broken
In the blink of an eye
You've ruined so much
But it all goes away when you-”
Close my eyes,
I get the picture.
What you experience
Is just the things you see and feel.
Inside your head
There is no difference.
I lived out every moment,
what makes it any less real?
My life is so pathetic
Stacked up, never how I thought
Always short of underwhelming
Can't see, the clouds are never gone
The tension in
Consciousness kills me,
To feel every mistake you've made
deep down inside your bones.
Asleep is
The only existence
Where possibilities are
So much greater than you know.
Eyes getting hazy, just a few more
seconds away.
For the love of God
don’t wake me up.

"Inhale the poison,
chemicals saturate your chest
Open your mind up,
Amputate your subconscious
They’re watching you
Controlling you
They’re watching us
Deceiving us
They’ve got you held down
You can’t hide no matter where you run
You looked too closely,
and now look what you’ve done.
You know too much
they’re coming for you"

End of The Party

“(Go home) The party’s over
(Go home) All alone when they've left you
(Go home) The party’s over
(Go home) Everyone’s moved on but you
Hey,
You missed out on all the fun
There’s something wrong with all of us
But at least they can get things done
So why are you still hanging around
When everyone’s packed up and left?
There’s a sickness in your mind
Just move on and go inside.
Wait around to get things straight,
And you'll run out of time to waste.
Look around, there's nothing left to break
That’s just the risk you run when you stay up late
Wait,
Listen to the silence
It's been dead quiet since you showed up
Nothing more has happened since
Even if you got here hours ago
It’d still have been fucking dead
I’ll make things crystal clear;
It’s embarrassing you’re still here.
(Go home) The party’s over
(Go home) The party’s over
(Go home) Everyone’s moved on
(Go home) All your friends are gone.”

Doubt

What's the chance that I
could make you
remember who I am
when we all die?
Cut that number in half
Divide it and
Chop it up again
What do you have?
"I think I can" "I know I can't"
"It just doesn't seem likely"
Can't throw the thoughts out of your head
How do you know
you’ve been deceived?
What do you do
when you don't believe?
What the hell made you think
That you'd be the
One to save the ship
Before it sinks?
Because everyone's in line
All of us can't get
exactly what we want
Before it's time.
When the only way to make it
Is to persevere
and not listen to what they've said,
We just keep screaming at ourselves
to kill the NonBeliever,
But he just makes way too much sense
Alarms go off,
I’m fast asleep.
I think that’s the end
because I don’t believe
I don’t believe
I won’t believe
