The Past

A path to close your eyes
Your whole life you closed your eyes
It all comes back
Time to feel it again
The child is back
Time to feel it again
The child is back
Time to be me again
My whole life
I thought I was whole
What I thought was wrong
Now my world is gone
All these years
I’ve wasted my time
With all these feelings
Remaining inside
Buried young one
Child inside
Rotting child
Corrupted inside
The idiot’s face
Is on your face
Distorts and squeezes
The horror of ruin
The idiot’s face
Is on your face
Contorts and bleeds
The horror of ruin
May all this pain
Come back to you
May all this pain
Return to you
The hate from the past
The child from the past
The child from the past
Made my reality at last

I Fall

Any way at all
I will find a way to fall
find the thing I need
I destroy
then I feed
Respite I needed tonight
love and stars I needed tonight
find the thing I need
I destroy
then I feed

I am living in this world
on my own
I just have my life
it's all my own
This world it didn't
give me very much
I don't have a lot
I don't have enough
If I had to stay here
one more day
well I won't
I'm gonna go away
I have not needed you
for very long
you're not worth much
to be around
to be around
to be around
not worth that much
to be around
chorus:
Me
oh I know
I want
to go
If I was to go
would you know?
would you care?
would you think I'd dare?
I am living in my world
on my own
I just have me
I'm alone
Oh this life
It is not worth much
not much that much
I'm not worth much
If i had to stay here
one more day
well i won't
I'm gonna go away
I have not needed you
for very long
you're not worth much
to be around
to be around
to be around
not worth that much
to be around
chorus
I have lived in my own world
long enough
I'm done with me
I don't want this stuff
Oh my life
I'm living i don't know
I cannot even love me
why would you

Fiery Road

The burning sails
of my ship
the winds blown from
your soul
The burning sails
of our ship
the winds blown from
our souls
Come and gaze
with me at
our fiery road
home
I told you
how much
blood I had
to give
and how much
time you had
to
forgive
Now it’s about
you and i
weaving, our eyes
alive
Pleading for
the sharpest life
hands held tight
our mouths wide
Now it's about
you and I
See your face
dissolve into
the warmness
of my sea
Rivers
they make the sea
If I wait long enough
I'll be a rock in your sea
Patiently
watching
water
on your bones
I hoped that
your water
would purify me
And take me home
Come and gaze
with me at
our fiery road
home
Come and walk
with me
down the fiery road
home

My Little Problem
04:28
|
|
||
|
Down from my eyes
World alive inside me
Bright now capsized
World I sent away
On my little waters
Darker than the sea
Master of all my feelings
Please protect me
I will arise
With or without what's me
Life won't tread on me
Life won't keep me still
Chorus---
I have a way there is a way,
you'll be the master,
you'll be the slave
You’ll be the one that takes it away,
I'll be the one that gives you today
My little problem
with feeling pain
Every time I try
it’s not there again
I've bled too much
For the weakest answer
I have my strength
I have my mind
In my life I'm living
I don't even want hope
I want the sea to hold me
I'll just swim away
If I can't have
Escape from all that harms me
I know the answer
I will free the slave
-chorus
Life of waters
One I never answered
One I always needed
One I put below me
Why would I choose
To discard my only answer
I couldn't take it
I still can't at all
If I had a loophole
If I had the easy way
I wouldn't do this
I would drown it all

There Alone

know
who the real one is
dancing in the mirror
with a greased blade
in his
hand
slipping me the middle finger
armed me with complacency
bribed me with the disposition
of an apathetic man
chorus:
i know
who’s the real one
i know
you’re not the real one
i know
who’s the real one
i know
i’m not the real one
image of the opposed
superior reconstruction
idiom of
the
idiot champ
image of
repressed
majestic form of destruction
what a pathetic
stupid
man
the agent of my destruction
the superior bred spawn of mine
a mistake in the formation
a victory over size
i know who the failed one is
glorious in glass tableau
with a
deceptive act
in hand
i saw who the real one is
he was dancing in the mirror
triumphant were his eyes
how piteous, this man

Peaceful as Hell
by Black Dresses
supported by 5 fans who also own “Bloody Knees”
The content is mostly heavy as ever but the tracks are all catchy as hell and there's some pretty pleasant lo-fi/chiptune/pop-punk elements. This is the Black Dresses album you show your friends when you get the aux, if you're a coward.
