Blegh!
I wonder
Do you think about me as much as I think of you?
And I wonder
Am I living in your mind rent free too?
And I wonder
Has anxiety got its grip on all of your thoughts?
And I wonder
Do you feel like you've lost every battle you've fought?
I want a break from anxiety, but I don't want to feel apathy
But this isn't me trying to beg for your sympathy
How can I relax if my own existence is cursed
and everything I do just makes everything worse
Everyday I scare the living shit out of myself
Everyday I run and cover from the things that could help
All of my passions have welted up and dried
All of my passions have completely died

Something don't feel right
No this can't be true
I don't want nothing, not a goddamn thing from you
What once felt right
Now feels off
I thought I was found but now I realize I was lost
yeah
Well they hijacked our hearts and stole our minds, yeah
They took what was ours and claimed it as theirs, yeah
We had no idea we were being held captive, yeah
Maybe now we can break these mental chains, yeah
The anointed looked from up above
and fired down arrows with grace and love
Fire rained down from the fucking sky
With personalized comets for you and I
We all deserve this bitter end
This dark destruction is just a god send
Your demise is a
consequence of
the fact that you've completely ran out of time

Everyone wants to find purpose
But that can be so hard to define
The thought of a life void of meaning
Is enough to send chills down your spine
Who wants to go through the motions
Until they've met their timely fate
I hope you're able to find meaning
Before it's too late
Maybe this wicked system of things ain't so wicked after all
You've been fed ideas that were meant to keep ya feeling small
Like you're so hopeless and helpless
but I don't think you're helpless at all
Maybe everything ain't as bad as it seems
After all
The mind is a powerful thing that can be easily rearranged
Feelings and emotions may be fleeting
and even memories can change
A foe will appear as a friend yeah, from the very start
Sooner or later they'll get inside of you
And pick you apart
If you think its all for nothing
You're absolutely right
If you think it don't mean anything
You're absolutely right
If you think its bleak and empty
You're absolutely right

Balls of Energy

A ball of energy is hurling towards me
And its hurling fast
It knocks me back on my back and I wonder
How long can this feeling last?
It lifts me from my tedious state and now I
Now I feel the power
My face falsely shines bright this is
My darkest hour
What did you expect from me
I'm a walk a walking stiff anyways
Spend my life sulking in sorrow
And wasting away all of my days
Sinking into my couch and my head feels like
its gonna explode
I'll never get myself into this bind again
or so the story goes
Making promises to myself that I
I know I'll never keep
Maybe one day I'll quit lying to myself
And get some peaceful sleep

Scream For the Night
04:36

In the darkness we gained our power
In the darkness we came of age
In the shadows we sought revenge
In the shadows we let out our rage
I don't expect you to understand
I just thought I'd fill you in a bit
In the morning we return to form
In the light everything's unchanged
Nothings sacred nor cryptic
We dispose of the evidence
Scream for the night

You sense there's no-one around you
Are you truly alone?
You surroundings they could confound you
Or scare you straight to the bone
Panic starts to set in
Your blood curdles within
You know you've gotta get out of this place
Oh god you've gotta get out of this place
The air feels thick and moist and cold
Your previous concerns are put on hold
You can't back down you cannot fold
The greatest lie you were ever told
Let's make our escape
And hope to god it's not too late
We'll slip out of sight
Guided by the moonlight
We'll fade into obscurity
Cleanse ourselves of impurities
I'm starting to salivate
Let's do it now, I can't wait
Now you can calm your thoughts
And lay your worries to rest
That sudden surge of adrenaline
Sure put you to the test
But you're not quite ready
To lay down for the night
One last thought haunts you
What if your fears are right?
