Panic 02:28
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 01:49
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.
5.
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.
