Is there something else I should know? Or will you leave me in the dark? Where I belong Someone help me back into the light Down - Past The Earth is where I belong Someone who knows the right way Would you be nice but I can't pay And let me out The screaming drone has paid enough Excuse me while I spit the dummy out You never really thought you'd have your way now, when you got out And the poison pen fends for you and your wicked soul I was the one that was left behind and still I fight to take control

I look at photographs that I've never seen For years, and now they come back to haunt me The images that were once pristine Hold the soul of innocence, or so I thought And now I look at them with disgrace To see my life has slipped away More than some, less than others When I grow old, will they grow cold? The distant memories of a shattered youth Will they grow cold when I grow old? A new age has dawned I'm looking past The negativity that comes with it I look ahead without a plan And it scares me but I don't give a damn

Lorretta 04:08
Is this a nightmare or is this just a fantasy? Her name was Lorretta, the blackest snow, the devils queen She opened a box, you'll never guess what was inside Pandora's heart, the hate with lustful pride Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to lie Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to cry Forgive us Lorretta! I don't want to have to sin Forgive us Lorretta! I just need to fucking scream! I'm not running away! A whisper in your heart reveals all that matters Pandora's heart box clutters you up with judgement I see it in your eyes, you're giving up on everything The strength in you to fight has withered you down to nothing A wave comes back I'm bored, you're nuts

This padded cell is broken The glass has been hypnotized Into a magic spell of alchemy The green eyed monster has lied On more than one occasion You gave away your position Of guilt, now the faces have dawned This is a reputation of all that has been lost And now the last has come first This emotion has become a panic in your devils smile While I pick at your bones Dead and buried beneath these broken wings of lies Now the pain has turned to empathy This disguise has been disgraced These memories are in cased in ashes The trail has become fast paced This pulse has now stop beating But has returned for feeding I really don't have a new found case If it makes sense we're bleeding How comes you've been stealing My life a little at a time

Today has faltered, I can't seem to get this right I think I should give it up but that's not me Its here in my life And seems insane Some might say; I'm looking for answers The colour that's left is grey But I'm mellow, I'm fine, I'm ok If you stay until tomorrow Will you hand me back my spine? In a cookie jar by the stove Is where I contemplate My fondness, my high I've often thought of it Why does life have to be this way? And the cogs that keep on turning Why is life like this every day?
7.
Where does this hate come from? I want the past to be gone Throw my head in my hands To all the things that went wrong And when I try to do this It reminds me of that The life within me is drained And now just like that The shakes begin to start Adrenaline shot to the heart Then I'm caught in a daze Again I start to blaze And when the world gets you down You throw your shit around I promise you don't want to see And when you see this rage Then turn the page I promise you don't want to see My Xplosive Anxiety I'm standing here shaking Blood pressure, inflating Getting mind over matter Now I'm disintegrating And then I'm grinding my teeth To the sound of the beat My stomach turned in knots Lost control of my feet

Carved Lies 03:46
Feels like life is bittersweet So much needed, yet I can't live without it It's not easy being weak It's skill required to be learned I don't know, I don't care What you think about me I don't know and I don't care What you think about me No I will not care! Maybe it's all in my head All the lies, I begin to love them Possessed inside another's mind Everyday is carved into my slumber
