Not If Caring Kills

The days we spent on different continents
While you were seeking her I kept my confidence
That you would never do your worst through the emptiness inside you
What happened to loyalty
Guess the only friend I’ve got is me
Many a hundred days can end in just one night
Don’t say I never tried I put up one good fight
It’s clear to me I give more than you ever will
I want to care but not if caring kills
And I never thought that you’d turn out to be a sinner
The bullet stung twice as bad when I found you behind the trigger
You took my love and drew your blade
Then blew it up with your grenade
If you think this war is over you should be very afraid
And I never saw through her disguise that she’s the devil
I never took you for someone who would be into something so evil
This broken heart is laughing now
As you two tear each other down
And I’ll send you my best wishes as I walk away with the crown
Many a hundred days can end in just one night
Don’t say I never tried I put up one good fight
It’s clear to me I give more than you ever will
I want to care but not if caring kills
You can run
You can hide
But it’s hard to break free by just telling lies
You’re a mess
You’re a wreck
But you look so damn good with my hands
Around your neck

Admit It

So this is where the story ends
If this is how you treat your friends
You’re living life inside a lens
Instead of trying to make amends
Well if you’re gonna jump ship it’s best I don’t know it’s best I don’t know a thing
You’re just a bird in a cage I’m the shadow offstage just waiting to hear you sing
And if you wanna start fights you better step in you better step in the ring
Two can play at your game so remember my name as I come at you with the swing
Wave goodbye to our history
You’re adding insult to injury
I’m resetting trajectory
I don’t feel bad about it ‘cause I can live without it
You know what you came here to do
So don’t act like you don’t have a clue
Crossroads at every avenue
I won’t forget you did it so go on just admit it
You wanna play the victim now
But that’s now how it’s going down
Don’t try to hide your secret’s out
It’s time we take a different route
And you said I never meant to hurt you
This isn’t the first time but hope it’s the last time
Wish I didn’t know you
See you never
Who would’ve thought that all this time
Would break off at forever
Well if you’re gonna jump ship it’s best I don’t know it’s best I don’t know a thing
You’re just a bird in a cage I’m the shadow offstage just waiting to hear you sing
And if you wanna start fights you better step in you better step in the ring
Two can play at your game so remember my name as I come at you with the swing
I don’t feel bad about it ‘cause I can live without it
I won’t forget you did it so go on just admit it
I don’t feel bad about it ‘cause I can live without it
I won’t forget you did it
Wave goodbye to our history
You’re adding insult to injury
I’m resetting trajectory
I don’t feel bad about it ‘cause I can live without it
You know what you came here to do
So don’t act like you don’t have a clue
Crossroads at every avenue
I won’t forget you did it so go on just admit it
Come on now just admit it

We play these games
My life in puzzle pieces
That I myself can’t put together
Make it better
I’m so ashamed
Incertitude increasing
Hope this feeling won’t last forever
Now or never
And you tell them that it’s fine
That you did it by design
The line’s all crooked now
You’ve been caught in the act
Now it’s time to face the facts
Can someone show me how
En route to absent islands
I can’t say a word
Another day in silence
Seen but never heard
The tides cause me to tilt
Wash away all of my guilt
In the distance I detect a siren
But I’m stuck on autopilot
I’m stuck on autopilot
Like crashing cars
two worlds collide at high gear
My stigma is your magnum opus
I’m the lowest
Behind these bars
The answer seeming so clear
Yet unattainable it’s hopeless
Losing focus
Fool me once shame on you
Tried to trick you but you know the truth
Fool me twice shame on me
But the truth will only set me free
And as I warm up for round three
Deception in the first degree
I’m shot down and lost at sea
Want to surface but I dove too deep
Frozen in time trying to fix this mess
Every inch of my brain’s in recess
The only way to wake me is to drown all the wrongs I’ve done
En route to absent islands
I can’t say a word
Another day in silence
Seen but never heard
The tides cause me to tilt
Wash away all of my guilt
In the distance I detect a siren
But I’m stuck on autopilot
I’m stuck on autopilot

Bones Exposed

Oh doctor doctor give me what I need because it’s getting
Hard to breathe please don’t make me plead
It’s become too difficult to endure with everything
I’m so unsure can you be my cure
Your tranquilizing dance will make me whole
My insides turning black as coal
Soon you’ll see my soul
It’s no placebo watch me as I shake
It’s such a constant toll I take
I’m my own earthquake
When sleep wears thin
You’re in like sin
Beneath my skin
Yeah you’re my secret remedy
I feel you close
My bones exposed
I’m overdosing on your sweet serenity
This hospital’s the place that I call home
Inside this room my mind can roam
Mirrored eyes like chrome
I’m cleansed by every antiseptic kiss
I’ve gone against all of my wits
You’re my favorite fix
Running down an empty hallway
Hearing the voices and they say
Where are you now do you know how you got here
Someone led the way
It's not in my dreams it’s a nightmare
And it’s the reason I’ve been so scared
To leave this bed inside my head
It’s psychological warfare
When sleep wears thin
You’re in like sin
Beneath my skin
Yeah you’re my secret remedy
I feel you close
My bones exposed
I’m overdosing on your sweet serenity
My prescription ran out
Think it’s time to break out
When sleep wears thin
You’re in like sin
Beneath my skin
Yeah you’re my secret remedy
I feel you close
My bones exposed
I’m overdosing on your sweet serenity

Chronicle
02:40

This world was inked in black
Tried to throw me off track
Paving my way while everyone was falling through the cracks
Living by my own wits
While they just called it quits
Up on cloud nine as they sunk into the abyss
Their old bones coated with new blood
A vessel caught in a flash flood
I’m sorry it’s not what you want
But this life is one I’ve come to haunt
Both foolish and wiser I’ve grown to become
According to no one
They’ll try to eat you alive
But I’d like to see them run
So quit your whining ‘cause it’s really just a waste of air
And I really don’t care
No, I don’t
The proclamation that you’re spitting’s getting you nowhere
And we really don’t care
No, we don’t
We write chronicles that never see the break of day
Because the burden of reality gets in the way
Your worst mistake was thinking that we’re all so unaware
But it’s time that you cared
But you won’t
Their shielded eyes exposed to light
Ignited by our dynamite
Your bark was bigger than your bite
Seems their judgment was an oversight
So quit your whining ‘cause it’s really just a waste of air
And I really don’t care
No, I don’t
The proclamation that you’re spitting’s getting you nowhere
And we really don’t care
No, we don’t
We write chronicles that never see the break of day
Because the burden of reality gets in the way
Your worst mistake was thinking that we’re all so unaware
But it’s time that you cared
But you won’t

Staircase

One step into inferno
Your life goes up in flames
This home now slowly burning
We’ll never be the same
Your blood tinging the basement
As well as my own hands
I’m seeking out safe haven
While you can barely stand
A sight that leaves you broken
But help is on the way
These words were left unspoken
Here’s all I’ve got to say
You’ll never know just what I see each time I close my eyes
You’ll never see these memories of you I visualize
From atop this staircase I have seen the end
But since you have another chance at life
Promise you won’t leave me again
All that’s left is us
So I’m not giving up
We’ve lost so much already
I’m begging you to stay
I’m trying to keep steady
Here’s all I’ve got to say
You’ll never know just what I see each time I close my eyes
You’ll never see these memories of you I visualize
From atop this staircase I have seen the end
But since you have another chance at life
Promise you won’t leave me again
You’ll never know just what I see each time I close my eyes
You’ll never see these memories of you I visualize
From atop this staircase I have seen the end
But since you have another chance at life
Promise you won’t leave me again
You won't leave me again
You won’t leave me because I can’t take it
I won’t make it without you
And I hate that I’m stuck with this image of you
