My Own Skin

Inside my own skin
These chains bar me, keep me in
I am not who I see in the mirror
That black face who refuses to appear
If I could change everything
Slip into another, wouldn't fucking do it
This is my life, this is my own
So take it away if this body can't be my home
Get out of my head
You don't deserve to share the same space
"It's all my fault, it'll pass in the end"
You wouldn't care if it passes when I'm dead
Well look at the sparrows fly
As they fall from this bridge
I take off my own skin, see what lies inside
I'm not surprised at the cracks and burns that I never wanted to hide
And the illusion begins to break
I don't know how much longer I can fake
Inside my own skin
These chains bar me, keep me in
I am not who I see in the mirror
That black face who refuses to appear
Looking back at myself
The silhouette of self-defeat
Crack the mirror, it stares me wrongly
The mirror is not who I am
God, what the fuck would you think
If I told you it hurt me inside
I've said this a million times before
Ignore it until I'm dead
All your fault
All my fault
It's all your fault
It's all my fault
It's not enough to say things hurt
I've said this before, I'll say it again
Pay attention to me
It's not enough to say things hurt
Beneath my own skin

Bright eyes
White snow
This is heaven
Hell below
You climb to the top
To get a better look at the stain
Rotting away into nothing
Rusting over in oxidating gleams
This mountain will fall
Good luck with it all
It does not forgive
It will remember this
Forever
Your bright eyes are white as snow
Don't tell nobody has to know
In this moment I won't let you go
But one more second this world has to blow
It falls down in piles of twine
Interconnected by moments of pain
Your experience experiences mine
Haven't you ever wished for a real rain
I am myself
You are yourself
We will fall the same
When we reach the peak it will all disappear
This illusion will break away, we will all fade away
There's no escape from the loss of life
People fading before our eyes
And I will make sure you feel it in the end
Guilt, pity, reprimand
Feel it there right where you stand
Pity, guilt, reprimand
Look at me a pile of disease
Watching over everything
Eyes to the sky, souls to the sun
Resist death as you fall short of everyone
You are just the same, insincere and plain
One day you will feel the pain
As a new breed, new soul
Old thoughts, old mind
Hold convictions
As a new breed, new soul
Old thoughts, old mind
Will we forget
Will we regret
Will we forget everything
It does not forgive
It will remember this
Forever
Your bright eyes are white as snow
Don't tell nobody has to know
In this moment I won't let you go
But one more second this world has to blow
It falls down in piles of twine
Interconnected by moments of pain
Your experience experiences mine
Haven't you ever wished for a real rain
Eyes to the sky, souls to the sun
Resist death as you fall short of everyone
You are just the same

Above the Deep
07:47
|

|
I am drowning in myself
Viscous pools of self defeat
How this pains my aching soul
I need to rise above the deep
I have never felt so good, so bad
Intrinsic emotion, passion, gone to waste
Lifted off my shoulders
Feels like such a relief
The unconsciousness was only brief
And just for a moment, I could feel
Everything in this world was real
Bleed to feel alive and feel alive to bleed
A deeper meaning in this world is what we all need
We will fall down
Drown in the fucking waters
Open your eyes and realise it's all a ruse
Held together by sticks and stones
All they want to do is break your bones
They stare at you, stare you down
Laugh at you while they collapse in the torrents
Tired of trying and trying and trying and why
I am not the fucking failure that you see
A billion specks in this world and all you see is me
Cut the chord, pull the plug and float me to sea
In waters of heavy handed tears I want to be, wannabe
It's okay
Above the deep, I'm fucking sick of this ignorance, arrogance
You're no better than me, you wallow in shit in your sick skin, blackened heart
Reminded of times when I was bleeding just to feel alive
How does it feel now that second chance will never come again
Never felt so good, so bad
Time goes by in one moment
I have never felt so good, so bad
Intrinsic emotion, passion, gone to waste
Lifted off my shoulders
Feels like such a relief
The unconsciousness was only brief
And just for a moment, I could feel
Everything in this world was real
Bleed to feel alive and feel alive to bleed
A deeper meaning in this world is what we all need

Solace
07:44

We will all find excuses
For why we're failing
Find the solace in yourself
Don't take it from me or anybody else
Watch the fires fade away
Watch their heads as they turn away
The sound-bred soul will find peace
In forcefully administered waves
We will all find excuses
For why we're failing
Make peace with yourself
Don't want to be dead forever
Scratch the coffin walls
Of your charred heart
I've heard worse from you
Mechanical abstract art
Machine solace
Carry on now to the end
No stops ahead until you're wishing you were dead
All of the bullshit, all of the lies
You tell me again and again, the machine never replies
Tell me a million times
I'll never amount to the system until I die
Fuck seeing yourself waste away
Burn it all down, make those motherfuckers pay
Don't put the blame on those you control
You're lying to yourself and your wicked soul
Scratch the coffin walls
Of your charred heart
I've heard worse from you
Mechanical abstract art
Bleeding fucking liar
I bloodlet your words
Detached from your wicked mouth
I told you how it hurts
This is me, not make believe
Agoraphobic solace
Locked away in dreams
All fed up with you
Who in their right mind
Would put up with this
All fed up with you
Don't trust me, give me a break
How many fucking stories could I fake
I think it's time to admit
You were wrong
Find the solace in yourself

Reflections

And he stares back at me
This manifesto is never complete
Keep writing the same passages
Like you never knew that you could feel defeat
A murder, mind collapse
Seems like it never ends
Break this part of me, so no one can see
I am running deep, seven shades of red rain
Accidents happen frequently
Break this part of me, so no one can see
I am running deep
Break this part of me, so no one can see
I am running deep, seven shades of red rain
A murder, mind collapse
Seems like it never ends
How many faces can I see
They all fade into the misery
How can I stop and taste the rain
When it envelops my soul
Days turn into hours
By the powers that be
Fuck what you think, I will survive
Fuck what you think, we will carry on
The ripples in the ocean told me so
And then they drown me dead
Reflect on what you know
Ruminate on what you don't
The accident comes suddenly
And he stares back at me
This manifesto is never complete
