We walk down this road
Withered and broken by a soul
That nobody's wanted
That nobody knows!
Killing off friendships!
Killing out of love
Destroying everything!
That we've cherished from above
Why did you choose the others?!
Why don't you choose me?!
Nobody's ever bothered
To stand side by side with a
Freak!
Remember when I was the one
Who held the key to your heart?
And not just another
Follower!
To the queen bee that we didn't need
Everyone always bowing down on their knees to your
"Greatness" (Greatness)
I've finally had enough
Of your tedious bullshit!
When all of the words you spew
Are "nothing less than perfect".
I can't stand who
You've become
The life you live now
Just seems wasted..
I've grown numb
Enough to see that my
Passion
Can relate to
The things I've hated
It doesn't matter how many
Beasts
Try to strike me down
I will not falter
I will make all of you
Proud

Family Values

What good is a family staying together, when all their good for is tearing you apart? The weight is incredible, I feel you breaking my
back. I don't feel fine. No, not this time
I told you I didn't want to die; I'm sorry for every time I lied. Tracing the figures outlined on the wall. We could have had it all.

close my eyes and still see you there, but when I open them you just disappear. You left this world so long ago, choke back the tears so they don't come through
And I learned my lesson in moving on, I learned my lesson all alone. You brought me this far now I can't turn back, you brought me this far and I just want to go back.
I'm sorry I didn't cry at your funeral. I just wanted to be the man that made you proud.

The Time We Lost
04:31

The time we lost can not be measured. The second hand ticks, we lose our thoughts. A child is born, a child dies again, never knowing where it was to fit in.
Existential theories dictate your minds, but what happens when you can't find your reason to live, or your reason to be alive? You can't find your niche and you don't want to survive.
Your parents get the call, your friends read the news. Folks who didn't know you, they all know the truth. You tied that rope, you double-checked your knot. No doubt about it, rescue was never a thought.
People called you selfish, people stopped caring. Eventually the crying will all cease too. But the noise is always there: a dozen infants or two. The sound of the newborns, I'd drown them to get some sleep.
Is this it, is this the end? I see a light, can I start again? I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad. I just wanted, to make you proud. Is this this it, is this the end? I see a light, can I start again? I feel your hand on my neck, but they can't stop the blood.
