New Eyes 03:38
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

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
5.
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
6.
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

And when I get sad When I get sad Yeah it gets bad When I’m 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

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

NaNaNa 01:52
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
