I Nearly Lost Myself I'll write a phrase to paralyse For I'm the king of illiteracy A twisted line thrown out to see How slow they crawl the nullified
I held a light against Transparency allows the dead to breathe A means to justify
I comprehend I'll be the end of me I nearly lost myself I don't know myself Back in black I'm wearing thin
I nearly lost myself I don't know myself Feel so haunted by your kin I'll be your muse to analyse I'll wear the blame upon my sleeve A blinkered view with open eyes Doth cast aspersions I am weak I swallow down to numb the pain No sense to feel, the dumb cant talk Awake I lie, the truth will out These blackened lungs to choked to talk

Melancholia 04:24
Melancholia I'll watch you staring at the waters edge No line to save you, you can save yourself Delayed arrival, make your mistake No one could love you, if you all you love is hate Despite what I've heard I'll swallow all your words And when you fall beneath the waves You'll wither away Despise everything you've done I'm better off never known Stored memory for later days Can't stop them falling, falling apart My heart so hollow, shallow and sparse I'll watch you drowning, drenched in my pain So hard to swallow all the things you say

(Higher You Rise) Harder You Fall You bend and break to get a piece of me I conform to what you deem to be See the world through your own eyes Don’t even try to claim a suicide Higher you rise Harder you fall How do you fall How to evolve How to revol Helas oui? Sewn at the seams, your crooked smile Seems to me you’re in denial I can’t stand the imitation scene Under your pores is where I’ll breathe

Mourning Sickness At seventeen, I killed the teenage dream Take what you want, but leave your sympathy I hate the world, and the world it detests me I’ll write a line before I have to leave Hate...Me...Now It’s so cold for you to lie But I kind of like it I can’t breathe or eat and I I feel I’m dying Hardest of hearts, has the weakest of frames But yet it’s such an enjoyable headache I don’t reflect the way I feel I should I’m sick and tired; I’ve shut down on myself

Actress 03:43
Actress Broken bones from broken homes Someone knows, to some, unknown As cold as ice, as hard as stone I’ve nothing left to take you on I don’t think that this makes sense All this shit that’s in my head Make my enemies my friends From a lack of self defence Growing pains, you’re just too old I’ll throw my hand; it’s time to fold Feel my pain I can’t escape This broken home is oh, so safe Gather round my beautiful She’s so irresponsible You’ll clip her wings And watch her die This burden that you leave me with I thank you for your selfishness Dear actress with a starring role, I know that I’ve done nothing wrong

Japanic! 01:54
Japanic! All you aren't Is all you want It's all you are You don't love me Implore your heart It's all you've got
 Destroy your god Know your enemy When I'm around I'm not aroused
 Lost and found Are you with me? Hey--------te.

DM 03:36
DM If I get rid of this feeling Then it’s over If I keep it inside Then I’ll have it Forever… Oh what to do Oh what to do What should I do? What should I do? I should keep this inside To obey you When you tell me to Please let me have some joy, I beg you Forever…

Down 04:11
Down You made the headlines again For all the wrong reasons Why did you end up like this? So numb, I’m feeling You hit your deadline my friend That’s the general opinion I’m not About To let you Break me Down You’ve got them talking again For such a cynical reason White light that breaths you right in I can’t accuse it of stealing You made your escape again Made this the last one Cold skin it covers my heart I could blame the season What was your concept in this? Did you even have one? I wish I’d known and then I might I have seen it coming
