I've been stagnant. I've been bored. Think I've seen it all before. Chewing on a different age. You got carried away. Mirror image for the worse. Another one out of the herd. Take a look around and say that you can tell the difference. Put a gun up to my head. Wouldn't miss me if I left Negative opinions fall from me. I've been so sick of flowers on everything. Someone told me I'm crazy. Keep it in. Thousands under a dim light. It's hard to see. Guess it's just me. Oh well. Symmetry in everything, but one side is always fake. Take a look around and say that you can tell me different. They killed everything. I'm falling asleep. You're missing the point again.

Lay me on the road. Next to the other dead carcasses. Watch the murder, swarm above. Rip me limb to limb. Took everything and left me. Only eyes to see what they've done. You don't know what it feels like to have it all rest on something important. Pressures pushing in from both sides. I'll break soon. I would try to scream, but I don't have a voice anymore. Been at it for weeks, there's no end. Feeling stretched across the table, I'm next to nothing. All the eyes on me, watch me fail. Always left broke, no where is home. I see the edge but I pretend that I don't. Go on ahead, make sure to say hello cause I won't be there.

Room 03:36
I'M IN A PLACE I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN'T GO. A MILLION MILES FROM A HOUSE I CAN'T CALL HOME. I WANNA LEAVE IT BEHIND. STAINED CARPETS AND ALL THE THINGS WE HIDE. I'M GONE FOR IT ALL, IN MY MIND. GOD BLESS THE FREAK SHOW WE CALL "US". I MISS HOME. AN ORDINARY LIFE SEEMS BLAND, BUT OURS IS CHROME. I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE THAN A ROOM. SOME PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD. A PLACE WHERE I'D HAVE YOU. IT'S AS BAD AS IT SEEMS. I'M LOSING SLEEP OVER THE SCREAMS. I'M AWAY FOR IT ALL. GOD HELP ME. I CAME DOWN. I TURNED BLUE AND CHOKED. I CAME DOWN AGAIN.

All The Pain 04:13
My mind is heavy. Thoughts unclear. Came down crashing. Spirits weaken. I'm not ready to let all of this cave in. Fix my body, I can't move I feel helpless to you See in your eyes. You're suffering left me speechless. Left feeling bent. Can you stay with me? Don't lay low. Or float above. A new sun will come. All the pain that you've been through. Take it away, what ails you.

Leach 03:49
I'm in your way, and I know I drag you down. I've leached myself, but I plan on moving. Need a leg to stand, always crumbling. When I come down, I know that you'll be there. Knew all along, that you there to pick me up. I'm down again, that's just part of my bad luck. I'm barely afloat, you keep me from drowning. But as time goes, the more and more I worry. Is this not for me? Are you sick of this? Every time I leave I come back right where I left. Knew all along, that you there to pick me up. I'm down again, that's just part of my bad luck. I've been a drain on all the things that you worked for. So many years, and we're so close to giving up. You push me along to keep me going. You hold me up, when I start to fall.

Downswing 03:40
I've been there before, I never want to go back. I try to forget, what it feels like to be unattached. Always falling apart, barely hanging on to much. Windows boarded up, left in the dark. No where to be found, hideaway. Left cold to the touch, don't find me. I wanted it dark. I never let the light in. Covered myself, hid from everything. Well I was stuck, I never want to repeat. I watch the ground, slowly give out beneath me. Nobody care, find me nowhere.
7.
Blur 03:23
A blank stare when you ask what's next. I've been lost before but never like this. Beneath my surface, I'm not what I seem. Show my strength on the outside. I'm a wreck underneath. Times been a blur. Slow my future. Too far to quit, to give up on this. It's empty when I come home. I'm the only one left here. The rest have moved on. I'm worried I'm not what you want. Say you're proud, I hope that you are.

HAD THE SWEETEST DREAM LAST NIGHT. I WAS PLAYING WITH MY KNIVES. GUSHIN' BLOOD RAN DOWN MY CHIN. IT WASN'T MINE. IT WAS ME AGAINST THEM ALL. PINNED THEM UP ONTO THE WALL. CUT OUT PIECES OF THEIR SKIN. I MISSED YOUR CALL. THEY ALL TRIED RUNNING AWAY. CHASED THEM DOWN THROUGH THE WOODS. YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING AWAY FROM ME. IN MY HEAD I'M FEELING FINE. THEY ALL SAY I LOST MY MIND. THEY'RE CRYING FOR THE ONES THEY LOVE, BUT THEY HURT MINE. I TELL MYSELF IT'S ALL FOR YOU, BUT I THINK I LOVE IT TOO. I TOOK THE BODIES DOWN THE STAIRS. WHAT DID I DO? BLOOD RED STAINS ON MY SHIRT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE HOUSE WILL BURN. SORRY, THEY CALLED YOUR NAME WHEN I PROMISED THEM IT WOULD HURT. DRAGGED THE BAGS OUT TO THE CAR. GAVE THEM MORE THAN JUST A SCAR. A SMILE ON MY FACE. A SPADE UNDER MY ARM. THEY ALL TRIED RUNNING AWAY. CUT THEM UP IN THE WOODS. YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING AWAY FROM ME. COLD SWEAT RUNS DOWN MY BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME WE'LL FEED THE WORMS. SORRY, THEY CALLED YOUR NAME WHEN I PROMISED THEM IT WOULD HURT.

Dig Into Me 03:35
The floodgate gave way, so I was pouring out. Nothing to hold me. The words left my mouth. I let out, the room went cold. I could tell I ruined things. Dig into me. Feel your nails in my skin they claw, the words dig in. Let me go and let this end. I've been upside down. The bloods rushed to my head. I won't forget what I said, I meant. The mood was low and scared. No one said what's in their head. All I could see was red. I try but I can't ignore when you dig into me.
10.
WARM STEEL LAYS ON TOP OF YOU, UNDER QUIET TREES. COLD FEAR TAKS AHOLD OF YOU. CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING. WHEN YOUR SPINE WENT AND BECAME TWO. I'M SORRY I WASN'T THERE. ALL I WANTED TO SEE WAS YOU. YOU'RE SLEEPING. I SAID A PRAYER. GRAVEL PRESSING INTO YOUR SKIN. YOU CAN HARDLY BREATHE. BUT I'M SO FAR AWAY. TELL ME ANYTHING. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
11.
Poor Aileen 04:27
TALK TO ME, YOU'RE CLOSEST THING TO A FRIEND. HONESTY WENT OVERLOOKED IN THE END. I UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN. OH, POOR AILEEN. YOU WEREN'T TREATED LIKE A HUMAN. THEY TOOK YOUR VEINS. DON'T BE AFRAID. IN THE WOODS, YOU'RE SLEEPING OUT IN THE COLD. LIFE'S NO GOOD. THEY TOOK YOU OUT OF YOUR HOME. I UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN. STRAPPED TO A BED. EVERYONE SAYS THAT YOU'RE A MONSTER IN THE WAY. NEEDLE GOES IN. HOW DID YOU LIVE? YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE.
