New Eyes

Everybody’s always screaming save me
But I’m still heaving in my death bed
So calm my ego ask it to unchain me
Cause I’m still seeing colors that look red
If I close my chest and let it take me
I’ll be breathing in the darkness
All the while I still want to erase me
So you can cross out everything I said
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes
Change me
So cleanse my vision won’t let it restrain me
All the stories burning in my head
I let them live and grow until they shame me
Til I’m seeing colors that look red
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes
I wanna see with
New eyes
New eyes
New eyes

Mad
02:44
|

I don’t wanna throw you off
I’ve been keeping my mouth shut
I’ve been feeling so closed off
But I’m fucking mad at you
I don’t wanna speak my mind
You’ve been pushing me too far
Tried to keep it all inside
But i’m fucking mad at you
You love to say
I can’t feel this way
I’m so close to breaking down
I’m fucking mad
My head is spinning
I think i’m losing my control
My bodys’ shaking
Can’t take it (I’m fucking mad)
My mind is blanking
Don’t tell me i should let it go
I’m a time bomb
Put it off for too long
Watch me explode
I’m fucking mad
My head is spinning
I think i’m losing my control
My bodys’ shaking
Can’t take it (I’m fucking mad)
My mind is blanking
Don’t tell me i should let it go
I’m a time bomb
Put it off for too long
Watch me explode
Used to care if I hurt you
But holding all this pain hurts me more
All the things you put me through
Yeah i’m still fuckin mad at you
You love to say I can’t feel this way
I’m so close to breakin down
I’m fucking mad
My head is spinning
I think i’m losing my control
My bodys’ shaking
Can’t take it (I’m fucking mad)
My mind is blanking
Don’t tell me i should let it go
I’m a time bomb
Put it off for too long
Watch me explode
I’m fucking mad
My head is spinning
I think i’m losing my control
My bodys’ shaking
Can’t take it (I’m fucking mad)
My mind is blanking
Don’t tell me i should let it go
I’m a time bomb
Put it off for too long
Watch me explode
Fuckin mad at you
Fuckin mad at you
Fuckin mad at you
Fuckin mad at you

King Of Disappointment
02:35

|

You can call me king of disappointment
Welcome to my castle, everything’s worthless
Please, help yourself to
Whatever you want
Just get out while your soul’s still clean
I can’t give up control
I’m the ruiner of my own kingdom
Save your silver and gold
I’ll be up on this throne with my demons
Even if I could go
There’s no way out inside of these broken halls
And there’s chains on my door (no leaving)
So I’ll put on a show
You can call me king of disappointment
Welcome to my castle, everything’s worthless
Please, help yourself to
Whatever you want
Just get out while your soul’s still clean
I get blood on my hands
When I’m thinking myself into trouble
Ti’l I’m stuck in a trance
Ripping things off these walls like a psychopath
And there’s no looking back
‘Cause I know that nobody can tame me
Don’t get caught in my wrath (pleading)
When your heart’s on the floor
You can call me king of disappointment
Welcome to my castle, everything’s worthless
Please, help yourself to
Whatever you want
Just get out while your soul’s still clean
After everything I’ve done to me
I can’t take it anymore, this crown
After everything I’ve done to me
You can call me king of disappointment
Welcome to my castle, everything’s worthless
Please, help yourself to
Whatever you want
Just get out while your soul’s still clean

Shiver
03:26

Never been civilized
Always been traumatized
I know when to run and hide
I know when to run and hide
Never loved anything
Unless it learned how to leave
I don't know what's wrong with me
I don't know what's wrong with me
So follow me into the shiver
I can show you how it feels
to never come out of the river
Someone take away the steering wheel
Never been anyone
Always been all alone
I know how to let you down
I know how to let you down
Never been a beauty queen
Always been suffering
I don't have the strength to keep
Fighting for anything
And if I don't come up for air
Would it be that bad
to not have me there
Cause what if I don't wanna come up for air
is it so wrong to not wanna be here?
So follow me into the shiver
I can show you how it feels
to never come out of the river
Someone take away the steering wheel

Crazy
03:05
|
|||
I’ve been fighting with myself again
Can’t tell if I should scream or sin
I’ve got poison in my head today
It makes it really hard to breathe
If there was a way to silence the voices
(just stop)
Maybe I could stop and think
In love with the feeling of being worthless
I’m having trouble getting sleep
I swear I’m going fucking crazy
I’ve been talking with myself again
Things that i would never say
I’ve got poison on my tongue today
It makes it really hard to leave
I swear I’m going fucking crazy
When I talk to myself, yeah
I’m so fucking savage
The words that I choose they continue to ravage me
Like i’m addicted to tragedy x2

Thirty Seconds
02:22
|
|||
It’s breathing down my neck
Tellin me that I’ll feel better
If I let it end
I’ll rid you of me forever
And if I go
What will be left of me
I’m caught in the in between
Of all of my faults
(Of all of my faults)
And if i don’t
Will i be all alone
What am i fighting for
If not for my life
I know it’s not right but
I wanna die
If i do won’t regret it
Count down the breaths til i drop
Thirty seconds
I wanna die
With your name on my necklace
Count down the breaths til i drop
Thrity seconds
It’s climbing up my throat
Dragging me to unknown places
Giving up control
I don’t have the strength to face it
And if i choke
What will be left of me
Only a memory
You don’t wanna know
And if I don’t
Will I be all alone
What am I fighting for
If not for my life
I know its not right but
I wanna die
If i do won’t regret it
Count down the breaths til i drop
Thirty seconds
I wanna die
With your name on my necklace
Count down the breaths til i drop
Thirty seconds

Mourning
03:54
|
|||
I’m mourning each morning again
Waiting for outcomes I wrote in my head
And I need to get out of this place
Nothing is real it’s a system I made
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Everytime I try to speak
Nothing comes out
It’s just vacancy
Why am I so filled with poetry
I hate that I feel so much
Do you think that I feel too much
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
I’m close enough to admit
findin a heartbeat inside of my sadness
No It doesn’t have to live
But I’m feeding off of it
Everytime I try to speak
Nothing comes out
It’s just vacancy
Why am I so filled with poetry
I hate that I feel so much
Do you think that I feel too much
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm

Let Me Leave
03:11
|
|||
Can you hear me
Through the static
I can’t break through
All my habits
It’s a cycle
I’m in
I’ve been searching
For a way out
Of my own head
Cause i’m way down
It’s a cycle
I’m in
I’ve been trying to forgive myself
For turning into someone else
Calling out your name
And I
Know you wanna help
It’s too deep
It’s too deep
And I know I shouldn’t stay here
But it’s getting hard to breathe
It’s too dep
It’s too deep
but I’ve buried all my pain here
And it just won’t let me leave
Can you feel me
In the shadows
Never thought
I could be this low
It’s so hard not to give in
I’ve been moving
Through the darkness
Tryna fight it
Is the hardest
Can’t escape this
Prison
I’ve been trying to forgive myself
For turning into someone else
Calling out your name
And I
Know you wanna help
It’s too deep
It’s too deep
And I know I shouldn’t stay here
But it’s getting hard to breathe
It’s too dep
It’s too deep
but I’ve buried all my pain here
And it just won’t let me leave

Sad
01:45
|
|||
My teeth hurt from clenching my jaw
Can’t sleep cause my mouth won’t stay closed
I like to pretend that my fingertips
Are like sutures that hold up my lips
Cause the sheen is all gone
Color drawn out like blood
When I get sad
Cause the sheen is all gone
Color drawn out like blood
When I get sad
Am I really as bad as you think
Guess i’m unaware
Yeah I must be naive
For thinking you’d ever love me
With the bruises I’ve got
You think i’m a disease
Cause the sheen is all gone
Color drawn out like blood
When I get sad
Cause the sheen is all gone
Color drawn out like blood
When I get sad

Sick
03:45
|
|
||
I've got a fever in my veins
My healer told me
I should pray
Don't let the sickness
Take my name
It told me I was nothing
Always want me
to keep you close
You said I'd never
Make it on my own
But I don't need you I never did
I'm not the one who's running
So fuck you for leaving
You made me believe it
I never want you back
Don't make me say it
So fuck you for leaving
You made me believe it
I never want you back
You've got me singing
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your sadness
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your madness
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your sadness
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your madness
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
Do you feel pleasure
When I feel pain
Cause people like you
Never seem to change
Does it feel good
When you take
The glory for my bleeding
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your sadness
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your madness
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your sadness
I'm sick of fucking dealing with your madness
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I'm sick of always tryna get a hold of you
I don't wanna run from it anymore
I just wanna let go, let go
I'm so tired of picking up the pieces
I'm so tired of tryna get a hold of you
Tryna get a hold of you
Tryna get a hold of you

The Way You See Things
03:08
|
|||
why does my body change every time i see the mirror
wish i could rearrange all the parts that bring me tears mmmmm
i’m afraid my mind is playing me - a puppeteer
i don’t dress up cause it makes me sad
(SAD)
And i don’t go out
Cause i feel bad, bad, bad
Chorus:
wrapped too tight around my stomach
pinch the parts that i don’t wanna
keep
i see myself as a monster
i wish i could see myself the way you see me
the way you see things
verse 2:
All of the pretty girls must have it better than me
They don’t have to think about things like the veins on their knees
So I cover my limbs like they’re made up of sins from the scars
And I don’t dress up it makes me sad
And I don’t go out cause I feel bad, bad, bad
wrapped too tight around my stomach
pinch the parts that i don’t wanna
keep
i see myself as a monster
i wish i could see myself the way that you see me
the way you see things

Don’t let me forget
I’m just like all the rest
Let me disappear
I’m nothing special
There’s nothing special here
NaNaNa NaNaNa NaNaNa NaNaNa
No
If I live to be a hundred and five
Hope I don’t regret staying alive
But I might
Cause my grandmother hates herself
And we share the same birthday
So I guess that I probably will
