if I just found a recipe for a life not completely failed
I'd slay fucking angels, taint all love, or even wander the plains of hell
I'm so sick of betraying myself, by wasting my days away
cause nothing good ever came from this but I stick to my suicide guns
who could know that this would become everything that’s wrong with the
situation I’m in? desperate times, desperate measures, desperate sleepless eternity.
the sun has gone for far too long and the street lights burn like salt in my eyes
I count and carve every hell of a day into these walls that I will never escape
sleeping next to you has become like waking up alone
when everything has changed what is it worth to return home?
my mind wants me to never forget and it seems that I’m losing that fight
and I can’t even tell anyone that I dreamed about her, the other night
if I just found a recipe for a life not completely failed
I’d do anything, but nothing ever comes close to redemption
the sun has gone for far too long and the street lights burn like salt in my eyes
I need to free myself from the menace of my past
I want to be six feet beneath this life
decapitated, embracing tranquility
the only way to escape the ghosts of time
never hear, never see, never speak again
never fear, never be, never go insane
decapitated, finding my peace of mind

Disenchanted

declared dead and depreciated, pressed into a pattern.
disenchanted and lost in so many ways
another heart shaped sun goes down and dies on me again
decisions. repercussions.
I walk alone. I walk alone like everyone else.
so experienced in being ignorant.
the light shines through my body, I'm never really here
my soul and trust need to mend like a broken neck
but the doctors at my bedside are dressed in black
no exile can clear the war inside my head
my hands are folded like I'm already dead
I see horses and hearses and tears on parade
chanting a song about hopes that fade
I see horses and hearses and tears on parade
chanting a song about lives that fade

Malevolence

take it back. what you gave to anyone. so in vain. take it back,
hide it deep, lose the key. remember not.
it's the little things we constantly do and the secrets that we hide
that makes us jagged like lips in a winter whose cold just won't subside
the icy bite, from the look in those eyes, harbinger of your malevolence
am I the only one admitting guilt, for the dreams we all have killed?
I'm so disgusted by this world
I'm choking on this lump in my throat made of concrete
my skin, my bones, my heart and lungs grow old and become obsolete
I used to be an upright man, sincerity my mother tongue
discarded youth... look what the fuck I have become
we used to be so golden, but the glamour is long gone
misguided youth... oh what a shame have we become?
take it back. what you gave. never care

Monochrome

we are not what we're supposed to be in a world that devours potential
too many just blend in but I still believe there are courageous hearts left
I know actions speak louder than words and no hero’s left to hope for
so the only way out slowly starts to form in my head
I remember the life that was once in this fireplace
and the glass in the dark oak window frames
the dusty mirror stares in shades of grey
the old grandfather clock, I go and stop its tireless hands
I paint myself in fire and flames, in contrast to all the
pale white faces and pitch black eyes
turn my life into a beacon for you
for you to wake up
realize the ember inside
and burn what tries to defeat you
the radiant grows, swallows me whole,
it burns me, razes the liar's strongholds
let me be a beacon for you in this darkness
colours where never true
this is our life in monochrome
