Trust
Treasure so easily broken
weight and worth intangible
Sometimes repair is not an option,
burn it down and build anew
A broken cup will never be as strong
as it once was
Reassemble all the shards
and the substance will seep through
But that's not what we came for
What's all this wasting time?
No, that's not what we stand for
So this is where we say goodbye
I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!
The price they pay to fit in
we're paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
how do you know who you are?
Every time you lied to me
I would look the other way
Who am I to judge a fiend?
Every time you lied to them
another fly caught in your web
Deep inside do you know you're sick?
I know the world played a part
but you can't just blame them
Every time you lied to me
I'd just look the other way
I've got my own insecurities
and I can't save you if I can't save me
But that's not what we came for
What's all this wasting time?
No, that's not what we stand for
So this is where we say goodbye
I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!
The price they pay to fit in
we're paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
how do you know who you are?
Let it burn!
Let it burn!
How could you do this?
How could you hurt someone who gave you everything?
How could you burn the trust of everyone
as if it's someone else's blame?
There are no monsters under beds
or in the closets of your home
They walk the streets
in skins and skeletons,
like people you may know.
I should have known it anyways
you can't trust anyone these days
My heart goes out to the ones so deep
they'll never get out!
These strings they are pulling you down!
I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!
The price they pay to fit in
we’re paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
How do you know who you are?
This is not my problem anymore
It's not my fault if you get hurt
It’s not my problem anymore
It's not my fault if you get hurt

Prescription Addiction
04:30

This establishment is terrified of everything
Anything that might make you
Open up and see that there is more than just one way
To live a life, to make a move
I dare you to take a stand they say
I dare you to resist abuse
For review perception makes up all reality
And their religion is the profit school
It’s no secret, there’s no future
Vices come in more shapes than a bottle of alcohol
It won’t heal if, there’s no sutures
You can be addicted to the scent of an afterthought
Some people live above the law
And some people can’t afford to ever get caught
So why try at all when you already know you’ve lost?
She only wants the things she knows she cannot have
She says it tastes the best when someone says you can’t
I try to do the right thing
I try to if I can
But more and more I’m finding
That’s hard to understand
Every piece of me
Is screaming for relief
I’d give it all
To make it stop
It turns out
That everything they ever told
Was just another lie to control
I might come back someday
But for now I just want to waste away
Just like that
Abandoned and locked away
Without a thought labeled a menace to society
Looked at like she’s some creature
Ripped straight from Jeepers Creepers
She feels this pressure all the time
The pain is always on her mind
Her dealer wears a white coat
And always has the perfect dose
He doesn’t make house calls
Business hours on the wall
This endless war has got to stop
We’re only fighting the symptoms
There has to be a deeper cause
For all this self medication
I reach in an attempt to find myself again
It’s then I know I am never coming back from this
Resist temptation
Here comes the tidal wave
Look down your nose and cast your shame
But you’ve got your own sick habits
Your addiction’s written on your grave
Your time spent throwing stones at glasses
You know you’ll always be this way
Exposing faults in others just to cover up your pain
Every piece of me
Is screaming for relief
I’d give it all
To make it stop
It turns out
That everything they ever told
Was just another lie to control
I might come back someday
But for now I just want to waste away
If I could find a way to turn back time
(To turn back time)
I’d fix it all I’d lead the perfect life
(The perfect life)
But these mistakes we make they do define
(They do define)
The line we draw between what’s wrong and right
What’s wrong and right?

Whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh oh whoa oh
Every single day
I wake up to this vivid nightmare
A hurt that's not quite pain
There's an emptiness that reminds me
All I want is sleep
My reprieve from this hole inside and
How long has it been this way
Was there ever anything in the first place?
A sinking feeling in my chest
I'm starting to fall down
There is a place inside my head
To buy time from this fallout
But you can only buy so much time
And the grass is always greener on the other side
So duck and cover for one more day cause
Misery is gonna find its company!
I've gotten everything
Why can't I just be happy?
(Why am I this way)
I've gotten everything
Why can't I just be happy?
(Why can’t I just be happy?)
What is wrong with me
I'm coming down look out below
At this point we're stalling
If I should survive the fall
Will these mangled limbs pull me back out?
Yesterday I could feel the sun
I could hear this calling
Now I'm convinced that I was wrong
I'm just dying to feel something
Big smile, just tell yourself that this isn't hurting
Better pull yourself together
'Cause lives like these don't last forever
How would you know when you have got it so easy
I can't shake the feeling
there's something wrong
(there’s something wrong)
I’m so sick of me
And all my selfish agony
This mindless self indulgent cycle
Feeding on eternity
You’re never gonna change
You’re never gonna win
You sure as hell will never sound a thing like them
You are a burden
Heaped on top of everything you love
Your taste of solace
You’ll be forgotten before long
Nobody wants to feel like this
So broken, so hollow
It’s a direction not a place
But I can’t even move now
It’s like we’re all trapped in this iron crystal cage
(This iron crystal cage)
But only I can see these walls and it is killing me
(And it is killing me)
Big smile, just tell yourself that this isn't hurting
Better pull yourself together
'Cause lives like these don't last forever
How would you know when you have got it so easy
I can't shake the feeling
There's something wrong
(There’s something wrong)
I've been down here for so long
(For so long)
Just trying to hold on
(To hold on)
I'm part of a world that I cannot stand
Plagued by garish greed I can't comprehend
To survive you must be strong
As for me I don’t belong
You were the only one who was there for me
Without a thought or clue you set me free
I never knew someone could mean so much
That all the ocean’s chains just turn to rust
And to everyone who watched me bleed
I’ll burn every bridge, and the whole damn city
But you’d never let me go
Never let this go!
You are the reason!
You are the reason when I can’t be my own
(I can’t be my own)
You are the hardest part of letting go
(Of letting go)
You are the reason when I can’t be my own
(I can’t be my own)
You are the hardest part
You are the hardest part of letting go
Big smile, just tell yourself that this isn't hurting
Better pull yourself together
'Cause lives like these don't last forever
How would you know when you have got it so easy
I can't shake the feeling
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
(There’s something wrong)
I've gotten everything
Why can't I just be happy?
I’ve gotten everything
Why can’t I just be happy?
I’ve gotten everything
Why can’t I just be happy?
I’ve gotten everything
Why can’t I just be happy?

I Know I'm a Wolf
04:16

Dear rabbit,
My legs are getting weak chasing you,
The snow fields wouldn't seem so big, if only you knew,
That this blood on my teeth,
It is far beyond dry,
And I've captured you once,
But I wasn't quite right,
So I'm telling you that you'll be safe with me.
And rabbit,
My claws are dull now so don't be afraid,
I could keep you warm as long as you can just try to be brave,
Yes I know I'm a wolf,
And I've been known to bite,
But the rest of my pack,
I have left them behind.
And my teeth may be sharp
And I've been raised to kill.
But the thought of fresh meat; it is making me Ill
So I'm telling you that you'll be safe with me.
Oh dear rabbit,
Your trust was mine alone to betray,
I need your flesh,
But this voice inside won’t let me call you prey,
I’m bred to kill,
But you I can’t,
I need to feed,
Oh my god,
Please stop.
So rabbit,
Please stop looking the other way,
It's cold out there, so why not stay here,
Under my tail.
