Our hearts won’t race
Our hearts won’t race forever
I can’t hold on
Can’t change the fact
I’m always stale
Can’t change the fact
What’s coming next?
I can’t shake this feeling
On and on, it’s the same old
I’ve got to get away
Vacant eyes, empty soul
I’m trying to make this right
Where my heart’s supposed to be
I’m still holding on with everything I’ve got
Soon enough
I’ll have my way
Every moment I try so hard
But this gap between us grew
It’s worth more than I can show
But you turned me down once again
I resented you and my hate is growing
I’ve got nowhere else and I drift away
The pressure is weighing down, but it's coming down on you
Soon enough
I’ll have my way
This is my redemption
My redemption to make you fall
This is my redemption
Either way, it's my closure motion
Find your mark and tie your faith
Because you know I see right through you
I won’t align
Cast aside
Embrace the hate
I can see misery
Cast aside
Embrace the hate
Misery
Do you know what it feels like?
I can see your misery

Circles

I feel my body rotting
My faith dies with me
My future embodies nothing but self-regret
Not everybody feels this
I made the wrong choice
I hate myself for trusting you
I’m sinking faster and faster
Quicksand's got me by the neck
As I count the days, I’m slowly changing
To become better than I was before
You have watched me suffer through this endless game
Convincing me that I was a burden
With my veins full of rage
Nothing stands in my hatred way
It feels facile to breathe with my hands around your neck
Spitting blood it thrills me
Thrill
I’ve just woke up from this dream
And realised that I’ve been walking in circles

So save your words and I’ll fade away now
Give me a match and I'll burn it all down
Pick yourself up as I walk away now
Because it's dark inside and we’re all alone
I tried to find the meaning of it all
But the weight is just too much to hold
These roots run dry inside of me
I see myself crawling through this pain
Gently bending but never broken
I’m just another fool to this rat race of life
Maybe I’m just deemed to be as weak as everyone else
So self-doubts have brought me closer to hell
I seek this exile to bring me further
I can’t resist, I feel disconnected
My own self-worth has been deeply kept
Tracing back to the time it started
I wish that I could change my facade
Steps were taken
Measures made
I could never imagine anything else
What it's like on the other side
Another night
Another tale
Waiting by the phone
There’s nothing I can do
Smoke to numb the bitter strife
Another night
Another tale
Waiting by the phone
It feels empty in this hallway
I know you left to save yourself
Keep what's left of yourself
It's time to move on now
I can't practice what I preach
But I’ll make amends to myself
I know I’ll hurt as time passes by
Keep what's left of yourself
It's time to move on now
I write these things when I'm not sober
So I'll mull on it and pretend everything's fine
Keep what's left of yourself
It’s time to move on now
Pull the strings on my heart to make it beat once again
You’re not alone

A Memory Once Forgotten

When I lay my eyes
On the one thing that I embrace
I can see what’s left of your reckoning
This is what makes me feel alive
The colours that run through
The brightest smile you gave
This is me, seeking love from you
Break my vows, untangle my tongue at last
If I could find you one more time
I’ll place my words perfectly
It’ll be a new dawn
Start again and begin anew
(Breathe in hope, it’s been so long)
Start again and begin anew
(Find a way to pull me out)
Ever since then, I’d just falter every single time I pick myself up
Losing all the patience I had
Time alludes me to be a slave to my heart
Suspended in nature, brushing my skin away bit by bit
Did it have to be this way?
My reflection blinds me
Do you perceive to be worthy of my hope?
The beauty of life
Now turns into something
I can’t escape
I lie awake from time to time
I can’t sleep through the night
Like the pictures in my head
Are fading away
And I remember it like a dream
That there was nobody else to confide in
When you walked away
