Welcome to a place where I can never leave. I can do it to you like you did to me. The walls inside this heart are closing in. Stranded in this empty mind alone. The silence of this suffocates me. The madness of this ruins me. I may never see the light of day. The old me has been laid in a morgue. Leading me to insanity. But I’m bringing them down with me. Trapped behind these walls I can never get out. My bloodshot eyes are crying for help. These piercing screams are getting to me. Leading me to insanity. We’ve must’ve crossed paths before but we don’t know who we are anymore.

I can never outgrow from this. Times are always reminiscing it. I can't stay in this place. It's time for me to walk away. Why be something that you can not be but I see what you're trying to be. Manifest. Desperation gets the best of me. I’m trying to see what you’re trying to be. I can never help myself but you can't understand why I'm like this. I can never outgrow from this. Times are always reminiscing it. I can't stay in this place. It's time for me to walk away. Memories dragging me back. Over and over again. Can’t you see you’re a stain in your head. I'm struggling I can't do this anymore I need help I can't cope It's too late I'm gone. It's raining. It's pouring. I'm drowning alone. Manifest. Manipulation of these thoughts tear me down to the floor. And I can’t feel anymore. Screaming of anguish As the silence creeps in. Dark blood in my veins. I feel this pain will never end. It will never end. I can never forget. These feelings of dread. Aggression in your eyes. Frustration in tears. I can only blame myself. For these demons that I created. Whispering in my ear. I manifested and disintegrated. I’m rotting from the inside. This sickness is eating me alive.

Charades 02:30
Time and time again it’s happening all over again. Can’t you see it’s your fault. There's no one else to blame. These walls must be fucking talking cause I’m losing it. I can never see you through your bullshit. Quake. My frustration awakes. Relying you was a fucking mistake. In time I saw through your disguise. Relapsing on memories. And wondering why. Living it over and over again. I've been living in the paradox. It’s feeling too real. What do you do when you can’t get rid of it. You learn to live with it. I can’t keep living in the same place. I’m going to end up going chronically insane. All these things build up on me. I keep trying to forget what I don’t want to remorse. Hopeless endeavors never going to wake up. I can’t do this anymore. Willow death creeping up on me. Keep playing these charades they won’t get you nowhere now. Now you suffer again. I tried to help but all you did was push me away. This hollow emptiness haunts you at night. But now I can’t save you. Your charades have no answers to these riddles. I would never know what’s your next card game. Endless torture is your best game and I ended up being the joker of your play.

Look into my eyes. see the man that I am. Asking forgiveness of my sins. This is my disclosure. Restless and empty I'm feeling so numb. Smiling and smiling now I am done. I tried to be honest. But all you did was laughed. That's why I moved from all things in my past. Now I am done. Look into my eyes you don’t see lies. See the man that I am. Asking for forgiveness of my sins. This is my disclosure. Been a good man but got left in the end. I hear words but they don’t mean shit to me. Everyone has their own curse. The walls cave in inside this head. Am I the only one crawling towards the fucking grave? Always left without a word to say. You always said that it’ll be okay. Sometimes it never seems to be that way. You’ll always be the same. Taking the blame for things I'd never thought I'd do. Guilty walking past clean handed. It never ends. Keep rejecting your true self

There's always something to bring me back. I have repeated this too many times. Somehow I always find myself here. I can't find an answer to all this. Agony oh agony. Why haven't you left yet? Save me oh save me. You always find a way back inside. So the story goes. It won't never leave. So the story goes. Twisted thoughts in my head. So the story goes. Why am I the one who only feels this way? (I see) snakes in the eyes of my friends. Frayed ends don't amends. All the paths to you lead me down dead ends. Now I live in the dark, always constant disbelief. If there's one thing that I know I don't feel human and I lack strength to grow. I'm losing everyone. I'm left with nothing. Just another beginning. I can't make it work. I'm going berserk. Am I insane? Or is it in my head?

Ashamed 01:14

Left me behind without a signal of why. These chains wrapped around my throat. Broken from the inside. Never would I stay in the same position. To let you torment me in your twisted ways. Resentment of all the wrongs I did. I can never understand the lies you said. The demons sing a familiar melody. Maybe this why you can’t let me be. Left to stray in this cattle. I’m the only one alive. Outnumbered by these skeletons I disguise. These parasites consume me. There’s no way to hide. You can never see what I can be. But I never understood a word you said to me. Losing memory of all of this. I guess I’ll never be from all this shit. You can never free yourself from this. I’m lost within these thoughts. As darkness manifests itself inside of me. All other hope is lost. You can’t free yourself. You can never free yourself

Dying I am here. Dying I am gone. I’m losing everyone in my life. They all pushed me aside. Shadowed away like an outcast. Do you realize what you do to me? Can’t you see. I’m choking from the inside out. Can barely breathe. When I look at myself. Losing grip from myself. Now there’s no way out. Lost within these thoughts. Can’t find a way out. These flashbacks are blinding me. Everything’s killing me. Blurred vision makes its way in. As time went by. They all disappeared. No one seemed to care. Get out of my head. To hell with what you’ve said. You’re nothing but a worthless human being. You became everything I hated in me. But it’s not enough. Can’t you see I’m trying to read in the between the lines you left behind. You are nothing but a worthless human being. It’s not enough. It’s never enough. I’ve lost it all too many times. I’m a lost cause. Separation within myself. The only beginning is hard to forget it. The day I never wanted to see. Has made its way in. Shadowed away by foul play. Burning bridges. Left on display to make my way. Burning bridges. Worn up and washed up. Drag me below. I will never know.
