I ain't sleepin, I been wanderin' I ain't smilin', I've just been lyin' The ceiling calls while I lie in bed Tells me to search through time For all I've seen and all I've said I can see your hair And see those eyes I can feel your love With your hand in mine As I reflect, take it all in I'm torn away and alone again The shutter closes All else is blurred in frame When did I begin to feel so far away from everything So close to me? I can't remember Please remember

Bore it out, bore it out The fear breeds lies, the lies breed doubt Broken record, a frantic sequence Questioning character at every expense No explanation, no understanding At the end of this, don't know if I'll be standing Will there be anything left? It may be best to bring on death I would rather kill myself. Than live a life afraid like this Afraid for those I love Afraid of things that don't make sense Afraid I'll live in emptiness Afraid for all the innocents Afraid of things that don't exist Self-identified existential crisis Attempt to topple this Goliath A recent obsession Of all I am not Bore it out Or be still my heart Stumbling across the sand Course against my feet Reminding every step I take Is unfulfilled and empty Another bottle down I've lost count But I am numb to nothing There is only pain now Light another up I've lost count Doesn't matter anymore I'm torn apart from inside out Wander into the sea Resisting the urge To let the tide take me out Cause I know how it feels to drown

Cave In 03:04
Tears of sorrow Pour from my eyes Too late and now I see My dreams had come to life Now, every day Is a waking nightmare No escape from myself No escape from my despair Caved in, broke down Plagued by the sickness of doubt The tides of the world, drag me below Pressures, ceaseless Crushing, ceaseless These shoulder bear the weight Twisting, contorting I will never be the same So much of me has changed I won't hide from the pain Never again, shy away This is all on me.

Pass Me By 02:46
Look closely at this worn out face Tell me what you see November air is cold and biting Leaving skin to crack and bleed Withering where it can't be seen I am ashamed A disgrace in the family tree Outcast within myself Ripped away, replaced by someone else Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Pass me by, this is not a life A manifestation of fear and doubt Left trapped and barred in this prison cell Going through the motions A labyrinth of trap doors One choice, pick your poison Now the long dark of Night arrives And I am compelled to greet her, entertain her My eyes grow weary, yet she keeps me awake I give in to Her temptation, I keep her company The demons of old are knocking now In search of sanctuary Bar the doors, hope they pass me by Please pass me by, this is not a life Helpless, senseless, left alone

This house feels emptier Since you left your home I hope you've found greener pastures Wherever you roam It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do To leave that room and say goodbye to you Wracked with guilt and selfishness I yearn for you, yet now you rest You were so loved, it will never end All you taught me, I won't forget Failures, time lost, I can not atone You deserved more than I did provide Wisdom with age has cursed me Petty fixes left me blind Through thick and thin, you never left your brother The void that you left behind will never be filled by another You are loved

These tapes haven't been played in some time And this camera's hardly working, worn out with use and age. Oh, but the things it has seen So many of those moments came to define, a part of me And lately, I've caught myself years for a way back Cause with every day that passes me by I feel a step further away I feel myself inching away from all these memories And inches closer to heaven Defined by that which I lack With each of those who pass away My grasp on the connection to this place, slips a little more Between these narrow fingers I'll be the first to admit I'm scared With every smile and laugh that flashes on the television There's an explosion of joy and sadness Knowing I've got to live that love And knowing its nearing its end And now I'm Knowing its nearing its end Its so damn hard to accept, I know I don't want to I'm not ready, but I don't think anyone ever is Is this what it means to grow up? Cause if it does I don't want any part of it.
