Driving thru the city
In the dark
Dark city
Ghost of my past
In the passenger seat singing to the
Mixtape spinning and
All I want is silence
Concentration dipping
Perennial violence
Sightless
Dryness
Of the iris
Tiredness
Lifeless
Nobody inside this
Mind is like a
Flightless
Birdie
Wing is hurtin’
Crows circling
Impossible to hurtle with
a motor burning
Sometimes
I brush it off
This time
I’ve given up
I’ve come undone
Back-pedal to the metal
I’m about to flip
Switch back to present, man
It better happen quick
Fix this, cos my mind is spinning
Round and round I go
Back home in the corner
Of the room when I’m alone
With a chip on my shoulder
And a chill along the bone
Chicken run-ning all the time
It’s a joke
Fake a smile to feel
No revealing anything and
That’s the motto
Zoning out a lotta
Gotta bottle up
Gonna hit rock bottom
Sometimes
I brush it off
This time
I’ve given up
Falling out of love
With myself
The pressure of the world
Is getting too much
Too far gone
I’ve come undone
Runnin out of time
Out of sight
Out of mind
Runnin out of time
Out of sight
Out of mind
Look into my eyes
Tell me if you think I’m lying
As times runnin
I’m cummin
UNDONE x2
Sometimes
I brush it off
This time
I’ve given up
Falling out of love
With myself
The pressure of the world
Is getting too much
Too far gone
I’ve come undone

Wondering all the time
If we could do better
If we could be better
Because I feel the divide
Our world in a tether
Messed up
Better than never
As I smile from the nether
Oh No
We’re never getting better
We keep on falling
Backwards
Downwards
Spiralling
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again
Following all the signs
That we could do better
‘Cos on a real level
I’m tired of seeing the collide
A broken endeavour
Messed up
I’m better than never
As I smile from the nether
Oh No
We’re never getting better
We keep on falling
Backwards
Downwards
Spiralling
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again
Better than Never
I’m better than never
As I smile from the nether
Oh No
We’re never getting better
We keep on falling
Backwards
Downwards
Spiralling
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again
We’re
Running round in
Circles, again

Flip tha Switch
03:34
|
|||
|
There’s acid in the rain
Perpetual self-infliction
Medicinal perpetration
Becoming an addiction
Forgetting all the simple things
Tripping like a fuse
Forgiving all the enemies
Who offer the abuse
The air is growing thin
Respiratory affliction
Never-ending idling
Becoming an addiction
Forgetting all the simple things
Tripping like a fuse
Forgiving all the enemies
Who offer the abuse
I’ve gotta rewire
The circuit (x3)
All I want is for it
To hurt less but
I’ve gotta rewire
To flip tha switch
Head on the window pane
Terrorised by my unkindness
That I dichotomise
With all the smiling silence
Forgetting all the simple things
Tripping like a fuse
Forgiving all the enemies
Who offer the abuse
I’ve gotta rewire
The circuit (x3)
All I want is for it
To hurt less but
I’ve gotta rewire
To flip tha switch
Can’t see the water for the ocean
It’s getting darker than the blood we bleed
Lost in circles no way of knowing of what
Any of this even means
Ugh
Ugh, Fuck that Shit
Fix up the circuit and
Flip tha Switch (x2)
I’ve gotta rewire
The circuit (x3)
All I want is for it
To hurt less but
I’ve gotta rewire
To flip tha switch
I’ve gotta rewire
The circuit (x3)
All I want is for it
To hurt less but
I’ve gotta rewire
To flip the switch
In the end it’s
Gonna be worth it
But I gotta rewire
To flip tha switch

Prisoner
03:27

My stomach’s full of anxiety
Too complicated to mend
My lungs becoming a smoke machine
Inebriation’s my friend…
Because it’s just another day of
Waiting for nothing
I’m getting sick and tired of
Feeling alone
It’s just another day of
Hoping for something
I’m getting sick and tired of
Zero result
I’m just a
Prisoner
Yeah I’m a
Prisoner
I watched it falling in front of me
The tower of hope that I built
The sun is growing too dark to breathe
I’m growing too numb to feel…
Because it’s just another day of
Waiting for nothing
I’m getting sick and tired of
Feeling alone
It’s just another day of
Hoping for something
I’m getting sick and tired of
Zero result
I’m just a
Prisoner
It’s just another day of
Waiting for nothing
I’m getting sick and tired of
Feeling alone
Because it’s just another day of
Hoping for something
I’m getting sick and tired of
Zero result
It’s just another day of
Waiting for nothing
Because it’s just another day of
Waiting for nothing
I’m just a
Prisoner

Out the window
All hopes and dreams
Lock the door
And throw the key
(It’s where I belong)
Tear my chapter
From the seams
Lost all motive
I’m losing the will
I don’t know
How much longer I can pretend
But I know
The shadow’s in control again
I don’t know
If I will ever get away
But I know
I’m on a rollercoaster
Endlessly
No getting off
Of this carousel
When I tell you
I live in hell
I really mean it
Self sedating
I’m so unwell
Oh, I’ve lost all motive
I’m losing the will
I don’t know
How much longer I can pretend
But I know
The shadow’s in control again
I don’t know
If I will ever get away
But I know
I’m on a rollercoaster
Endlessly
I’m so high
Got my head in the clouds, yet
I’m so down
Got my head in the ground
Bum gone numb from
All the sitting around
Guess I’ll never be the one
To stand out in a crowd
Hard to catch z’s
When you sleep on the couch
Mama keep bussin’ my balls
To move out
When I’m in too deep
And it’s easy to drown
I put my armbands on
Until I figure it out
(Figure it how?)
Like screens in The Matrix
Green symbols keep dribbling
And trickling down
Never known the virtue of silence
Too many voices I wouldn’t mind
Living without
Heavy is the head that’s
Wearing the crown
If only that were the reason
I walk with a slouch
My brains like my grandmas attic
Impound where
What goes in just
Never comes out
We put our hands up
We put ‘em back down
Bouncing around to the
Sound of the drowned
We put our hands up
We put ‘em back down
Bouncing around to the
Sound of the drowned
We put our hands up
We put ‘em back down
Bouncing around to the
Sound of the drowned
We put our hands up
We put ‘em back down
Bouncing around to the
Sound of the drowned
I don’t know
How much longer I can pretend
But I know
The shadow’s in control again
I don’t know
If I will ever get away
But I know
I’m on a rollercoaster
I don’t know
How much longer I can pretend
But I know
The shadow’s in control again
I don’t know
If I will ever get away
But I know
I’m on a rollercoaster
Endlessly

Burnin' Up
03:19

Can’t take anymore of this
(Pull the trigger)
Can’t keep runnin’
From my troubles, but now I’ve
Hit the bottom of the
Bottle again
(Pull the trigger)
Too messed up
To give a fuck
I’m burnin’ up
Woke up
This evening
Another late night
With the fear I keep in
I’m hardly sleeping
And I’m hardly eating
Got the liquor on the shelf
With the smoke I breathe in
Note pad open
Mind is frozen
Will I ever see the end
Hoping that the people
Around me profoundly
Consider that I’m drowning
In ideation again
Cos things are messy
Everything is heavy
Close to giving up
Everyone is tired
Of my crying
So I suck it up
I don’t wanna
Be alone
But my problems keep
Getting bigger
There are voices
In my mind and they’re
Telling me I should
Just get over it
Cos I’m too far gone
To take control of it
I don’t wanna have to take the L
And it prevail
But I’m sick to death
Of shouldering
No, I don’t
Wanna be alone
But my problems keep
Getting bigger
These words are Burnin’ Up
My mind and they’re
Telling me I should
PULL THE TRIGGER
(Just send me on my way)
Eliminate the enemy
Agony
(Uh, send me on my way)
Wipe away the memory
The revelry
I’m Burnin’ Up
8am and I’m restless
Another cigarette for breakfast
Everything is quiet til the
Fire begins to hit my
Mind and I see no
Sign of exit
It’s messed up when you really
Think about it
People listen when you’re dead
But when you’re living
They forget about it
No fight left
I don’t really know what next
Cos things are messy
Everything is heavy
Close to giving up
Everyone is tired
Of my crying
So I suck it up
No, I don’t
Wanna be alone
But my problems keep
Getting bigger
These words are Burnin’ Up
My mind and they’re
Telling me I should
PULL THE TRIGGER
(Just send me on my way)
Eliminate the enemy
Agony
(Uh, send me on my way)
Wipe away the memory
The revelry
(Just send me on my way)
Eliminate the enemy
Agony
(Uh, send me on my way)
Wipe away the memory
The revelry
I’m Burnin’ Up
Can’t take anymore of this
(Pull the trigger)
Can’t keep runnin’
From my troubles, but now I’ve
Hit the bottom of the
Bottle again
(Pull the trigger)
Too messed up
To give a fuck
I’m burnin’ up
Can’t take anymore of this
(Pull the trigger)
Can’t take anymore of this
(Pull the trigger)
I can’t take anymore of this
(Pull the trigger)
Too messed up
To give a fuck
I’m burnin’ up
(Just send me on my way)
Eliminate the enemy
Agony
(Uh, send me on my way)
Wipe away the memory
The revelry
(Just send me on my way)
Eliminate the enemy
Agony
(Uh, send me on my way)
Wipe away the memory
The revelry
I’m Burnin’ Up

GTFO
03:34

There’s an energy
That takes control of me
Grab my thoughts to
Bury in a hole again
Fetch my hearse
And kill this curse
Short and terse
It’s getting worse
I’m not looking for sympathy
Just something to believe in
Put me out of my misery
The truth that I’m perceiving
I’m so tired of
“Things’ll get better”, “it’s temporary weather”,
When it’s not a phase
They keep throwing all the
Clichés in my way
Like, Get The Fuck Out of my face
Out of reach, and
Staring at the antidote
Growing vacant
Feel the hands upon my throat
Fetch my hearse
And kill this curse
Short and terse
It’s getting worse
I’m not looking for sympathy
Just something to believe in
Put me out of my misery
The truth that I’m perceiving
I’m so tired of
“Things’ll get better”, “it’s temporary weather”,
When it’s not a phase
They keep throwing all the
Clichés in my way
I’m just constantly tryna
Find my place
It’s hard to get the closure
When it happens over and over
There is nothing to fill
The emptiness
And with death at every corner
I know I have to face it
On my own
I’m not looking for sympathy
Just something to believe in
Put me out of my misery
The truth that I’m perceiving
I’m so tired of
“Things’ll get better”, “it’s temporary weather”,
When it’s not a phase
They keep throwing all the
Clichés in my way
Get The Fuck Out of my face

Melomaniac
03:08
|
|||
|
Do they know
The fear that I am
Feeling in my bones,
Or is it just another lie?
All I know
Reality of
Never letting go
Cos it never meets the eye
I’d
Kill myself to feel alive
But you don’t get it, never-mind
Goodbye
I don’t know
Am I becoming numb or
Am I getting old
It’s hard to
Tell sometimes
All I know
Is the world around me
Swallowing me whole
When both my hands are tied
I’d
Kill myself to feel alive
But you don’t get it, never-mind
Melomaniac, insomniac
The pen is on my side
But it isn’t enough
Cos you don’t pay it
All your mind
Goodbye
I’ve given
Everything, everything
Not getting
Anything, anything
It’s hardly living
When it’s killing me
Looking in the mirror
Hating what I see
I’ve given
Everything, everything
Not getting
Anything, anything
It’s hardly living
When it’s killing me
Looking in the mirror
Hating the person staring back at me
I’d kill myself to feel alive
But you don’t get it, never-mind
Melomaniac, insomniac
The pen is on my side
But it isn’t enough
Cos you don’t pay it
All your mind
Goodbye

Cold
03:42

Caught in the flood
But I feel so numb
Doing my best
But it’s never enough
Got “scarred” and “drained”
Written in my blood
Asking myself
What have I become
My despondency
I don’t need it
No more
Time don’t heal a thing
Another nail in the coffin
Day by day
I’m not afraid
To fall again
I try but
It always ends the same
Forever burning cold
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting
O’ so Cold
(So Cold)
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting
O’ so Cold
Scream too loud
Try to bite my tongue
Got an old heart
But I’m way too young
Time running its course
It’s a marathon
Asking myself
What have I become
My pathology
I don’t need it
No, I’m
Tearing at the seams
Another nail in the coffin
Day by day
I’m not afraid
To fall again
I try but
It always ends the same
Forever burning cold
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting
O’ so Cold
(So Cold)
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting
O’ so Cold
Cold, Cold,
Cold… *cough*, Cold
Cold, Cold,
Cold… GO.
Forever burning cold
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting
O’ so Cold
(So Cold)
Carrying the weight of all
I’ve been told
Believe in all the demons
That I’ve been sold
Looking for another way
Out this hole
But it’s getting old
And I can’t keep going it
On my own
So
Cold, cold
Ugh

Tunnel
02:01
|

|
I don’t know which
Way I’m headed
It’s so close, yet
So out of reach
Found the light at the end
Of the tunnel
But it’s only
Blinding me
Found the light at the end
Of the tunnel
But it’s only
Blinding me
It’s only
Blinding me

Me
03:22
|

|
This is me
Bearing witness
Laying out
All my flaws
As I preach
To the silence
With a choir
In my heart
All that I have done
Repeated failure
Heading south
I scream but
Nobody is listening
Defeated, slowly
Falling down
I’ll never
Let it get the best of me
On my knees
For forgiveness
From the Gods
Up above
Not a saint
Not a sinner
Just a world
With no sun
Is all that I’ve become
Repeated failure
Heading south
I scream but
Nobody is listening
Defeated, slowly
Falling down
I’ll never
Let it get the best of me
Torn apart
I don’t wanna
Waste myself on it
Waste myself on it
It’s not my fault
I’m falling down again
Repeated failure
Heading south
I scream but
Nobody is listening
Defeated, slowly
Falling down
I’ll never
Let it get the best of me
I’ll never
Let it get the best of me
