The Gloom
02:55

There's no ground beneath me anymore / I leapt one too many times and finally fell short / You were the weight I thought too heavy / Something that I could not carry / But it's a burden I will hold onto / 'Til the end of days / I am the dark / The grey inside of you / I am loss / The solace in sadness / The peacefulness in pain / The overcast of fear and doubt / It's all so comforting / I wish I could say this wasn't true / But this is where life brought me / I'm in love with the gloom

Parting Gift

Cat's out of the bag
Distinctive laugh
Cast you down
My future, brighter now
But the past has made me tired
My head is getting lighter
Make plans to mend mistakes
Backseat drive through every state of mind
I promise you I tried
With my back against the wall
You can run away
Take every wrong move you've ever made away
And although you're gone
We still have these memories
And all the times you’ve shared with me
Clouding my psyche
With all love, there comes disease
And this love is fleeting
And this heart is bleeding
And this love is fleeting
When our love becomes disease
Get out of it
Cast you down
Break your back
Make it last
Wear a mask
Leave the past
In the past
Make it fast
Thanks for nothing
I never spoke of the demons in my head
To anyone alive or dead
Secrets kept
The things we've left
I wish I wished you nothing but the best
Faking smiles
Silence for miles
Signal weakening
A connection lost
You're just static
My memories are false
Printing your face
With features erased
Can't come to grips with your decided fate
Only lend a hand
For two more
What you've done will live on

Shortcuts to Hell
03:08
|

Lost and distraught
Caught up in a thought
Losing my mind
In plain sight
Perpetual nightmare
Sounds of fright in my right ear
Left with a souvenir
I traveled a light year
In and out of an abyss
Stay away from the edge
I know you wish you were dead
Don't bring me down
Take me out of your head
Don't build me up
And I can't bare it
This interference
My incoherence
Just break it
Just take it
Shortcuts to hell
Breathe
In through the nose
Out through the mouth
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in and out
Exhausted, and now I can let go
Maybe with this I can finally find bliss
But I'll never be whole again

It's so hard to accomplish anything when you feel like you've already failed / I've already failed / So I sit, stare, contemplate / Unable to concentrate on the positives / There's no weight / When everyone else's success / Triggers uncontrollable stress / I want to be alone / I want to end this mess
