Enemy 04:25
something is very wrong you see I’m feeling trapped i cannot breathe nothing can ever set in place the wrongs you’ve done all your mistakes lived life inside a simple dream not difficult no one to scream you came and took that all away you lied to me you made me prey you’re the enemy thats in disguise you might as well face it don’t try to hide you’re the enemy burned in my eyes i can see who you are…the boogeyman you’re the enemy with hate inside soul as dark as night, i sympathize you’re the enemy i can’t deny i wanted this for you…the suffering you sit inside your waiting room no one to hear your slandering empty, lifeless mannequin a hollow shell of what was you sit back enjoy this misery you asked for this the blames on you ill be inside my simple dream a fantasy a perfect scheme

Love 04:58
you were always the angel inside of my head i cannot explain why my feelings are dead i could never believe that this hatred inside would rise up and wash all your pain aside I'm fighting these feelings that are growing within im suffering these torments im suffering these sins i lock myself up i turn myself in i cut out the lights and i start to grin i love you i really do but your constant aggression is driving me to a world without hope a feeling of pain i hopeful reminder of the man i became i sit in the darkness afraid of the light i thought this was normal i thought this was right i used to believe that i could be true to these feelings inside to this hate i denied you remember the time that we severed our ties? and you tried to make right what was wrong in our lives? you prayed and you hoped and you pleaded and you begged and you said all these things that were wrong in my head and i tried and i tried and i lied and i lied and all i could feel was me dying inside…..

i found you i took you i loved you i used you i took my my anger and threw it against you i took your emotions and lied about about my truths i hate what I've done but I'm glad that its through you found me you took me you loved me you used me you took all your anger and threw it against me you took my my emotions

A Short Trip 04:25
shaking the weight of the day from me pondering fate of the night with glee its not enough sometimes happiness comes in rhymes an open door to escape darkness seals my fate an open door…. a short trip down the creaky old stairs nothing matters I’m sure no one dares I’m leaving my cares I’m leaving my cares closing the door to the world indeed feet on the floor to the path I’m free its just enough sometimes happiness comes in rhymes

she she moves through me like I’m not even here she she’s someone else that i would rather not be she she whispers soft directions inside my ear she she’s my dark passenger stranded on an island again with you next to me all that was mine is just a faded memory stranded on an island with your misery reclaim my throne this is how it has to be she she’s a disaster that won’t let me be free she she’s just as empty as the void in my heart she she holds on tight until i can barely breathe she she’s my dark passenger

lost in thought and dreams of yesterday broken heart the skies are turning grey casualty in a world that is blind maybe i can help you try to find (just a little piece of something) you’re lost in the dark again theres a... hole in the sky above you don’t be afraid to let go i will... carry the torch beside you it hurts when you lose your love to a... hole in the sky above you I’m never leaving your side i will... carry the burdens for you buried her it seems like yesterday broken heart it never goes away no one sees when you start to cry never had the chance to say goodbye

i hurt you as i opened up with a vengeance i blamed you for the pain that i’m feeling inside i lost you when i didn't see us through your eyes i can see it now ….finally but before you say a word i beg of you... lie to me again don't tell me how you really feel i’ve broken the path before us and the truth is killing me it's so hard to let everything go in my head i need to deliver us from this moment without you all of this is a little less perfect

I’m tired of being alive I’m tired of living a lie I’m tired of being mislead and betrayed I’m tired of losing my way I’m tired of being alive I’m tired of wasting my time I’m tired of always expecting to lose I’m tired of facing this constant abuse i feel so distant from what i used to be a child-like mind so careless and so free i feel so dirty and maybe I’m insane a prime example of the perfect human stain I’m tired of being alive I’m tired of life passing by I’m tired of darkness thats growing within I’m tired of confessing sins I’m tired of being alive I’m tired when you all connive I’m tired of keeping my secret thoughts in I’m tired of being the one who can’t win i feel so distant from what i used to be a child-like mind so careless and so free i feel so dirty and maybe I’m insane a prime example of the perfect human stain I’m tired of being alive I’m tired of social lives I’m tired of faking my laughter and views I’m tired of being untrue I’m tired of being alive I’m tired of wondering why I’m tired of having the gift to pretend I’m tired of waiting for all this to end
