Panic

Panic comes in droves and circles 'round the carrion
memories that fester in the background.
Suffocate on words I should have spoken.
Sadness turns to rage.
I am broken.
An emotional wreck
trying hard to forget.
Medicate.
(Try to stop the feelings)
of self hate.
(It doesn't help)
Manic self-defending tactics
Lashing out at everyone.
Feelings buried by suppression
Bleeding through this self expression
Pills that used to work now leave me
shouting too much information.
Always just a phase living with this bipolar depression.
An emotional wreck
trying hard to forget.
Medicate.
(Try to stop the feelings)
of self hate.
(It doesn't help.)
Wish I had a batter way to cope with being alive
Wish I hadn't thrown away so many years of my life
Wish I didnt always feel like screaming "I don't wanna die
(I sometimes wish I'd never) been born at all"

Regenerate

Darkness falls
The evil thoughts set it
“Take your life, there is no other way”
Disposed self-worth
I’ve nothing left to give
I must learn to love my self
The world won’t keep me down
I’ll suffer but I will grow
Shed light on the dark that holds me back and
I will choose to grow
The world won’t keep me down
I’ll suffer but I will grow
The world won’t keep me down
Shed your skin
Destroy what’s underneath
Regenerate
Kill what you can’t create
Separate reality from fate
I must learn to settle for myself
The world won’t keep me down
I’ll suffer but I will grow
Shed light on the dark that holds me back and
I will choose to grow
The world won’t keep me down
I’ll suffer but I will grow
The world won’t keep me down
Shed your skin
Tear the flesh
Regenerate.

No promises of damnation
Wretched hearts go screaming toward the void regardless
Watch the world fall through the hour glass
Demons run when you relinquish hell
Lord forgive me. I've done nothing.
Lived a life in fear your hand would come to strike me down.
Felt the fault break with shepards spewing hate
Left the herd before the sickness caught me.
Forego "for prophet" prisons
Wicked souls will walk the earth regardless
Watch the world turn back the progress
Demons run when you relinquish hell
Devils walk the earth with reckless abandon
Blackened hearts and tortured minds
And on our judgement day who will we choose to pay?
Oh god what have we done?
Oh god what have we done?
Nathan:
Kingdom came and it crushed my hopes and dreams
The hate you create is in our fathers name
This suffrage is worthless
A lonely home for the holy
You’re sick of slaving your life away
For a ruler who hath deemed you unworthy
Bethlehem is burning
It’s the gospel of failure
If Jesus had risen today
You’ve already bombed his country
And if he survived the atrocity
You’ve already sanctioned refugees

Dissociate
02:48
|

The worlds that I create
The thoughts I cant escape
I'm not sure if this is real
Dissociate.
A place where I can hide
Escape from the outside
The pain that I must feel
Dissociate.
You can run for your whole life
but you can't outrun your fear.
One day you'll have to see
the monsters, they are real.
So gather all your love and
hold it to your chest.
Til it keeps you from moving.
Til you can't hold it in.
Discover hypocrisy
(from the confides of a cage.)
The animals live inside it
while the cannibal sleeps.
Rip the heart out of his chest
if he has to second guess.
And bring him to his knees
where we can watch him bleed.
Oh, and he'll find no reprieve
when he tries to breathe.
Overwhelming, this sensation.
Just let me breathe.
Dissociate.

Paranoia
02:39
|

Swimming through concrete,
Anchored to the floor.
Pound and claw til blood and bones expose.
Can't shake the feeling that I've been here before.
Oh god, I think I'm gonna need another dose.
Relief is temporary but I'll take what I can get.
A few hours of rest from the voices in my head.
Cause lately I've been anxiously thinking about death.
And what happens when we're gone
When we take our final breath.
Scattered thoughts turn linear.
Extroversion as a side affect.
Forgetting conversations, I'm doing the best I can.
I'm hiding scared on this inside, you're talking to the Ativan.
Paranoia.
Medicating paranoia.
