Bleak Reality
04:20

A new beginning
Right back to where we started from
So unforgiving
Another ticking time bomb
So are we living?
This has become foreign to me
Barely existing
In this bleak reality
Do you feel so alone? So alone
Do the thorns tear your skin to the bone?
And now the pieces fall into obscurity
And know the pieces fall from this fucked reality

No Stars

Floating endlessly
On this dark and lonely sea
Will I see tomorrow?
There are no stars to follow
No stars left to follow
No gods in my sky
Signal growing stronger
Can’t stay here much longer
Stomach's feeling hollow
There are no stars left to follow
No stars left to follow
No gods in my sky
I write these words for the one I need
A letter you may never get to read
Was this all I was meant to be?
Just a sunken grave in this cold dark sea

Did you have a nightmare?
And see your world left for dead
Lost all recognition was it all in your head?
Or just another day
So you throw it all away
And leave us behind
Was it always this way?
What made you change your mind?
I just can’t make sense of this
It seemed so late in the game
The worst had seem to pass
You know it’s such a shame
To say goodbye
So you throw it all away
And leave us behind
Was it always this way?
What made you change your mind?
Unanswered we stay
What made you cross that line?
The truth led you astray
I wish you changed your mind
One last time into the fray
It doesn’t have to be this way
So you throw it all away
And leave us behind
Was it always this way?
What made you change your mind?
Unanswered we stay
What made you cross that line?
The truth led you astray
I wish you changed your mind

Abdicate (King of None)
06:37
|

Lost in this place with nowhere to go
Been here so long ten years or so
With no one around all on my own
A king of none on his broken throne
Why am I here? What’s left for me?
Why am I here? What’s left for me?
I feel so tired of who I’ve become
I feel empty, my senses numb
Why am I here? What’s left for me?
Why am I here? What’s left for me?
The walls come crumbling down
What’s left for me?
Take this broken boy and run on home
Safe in Mothers arms again

Where It All Went Wrong
07:29

Just another day in bed
Life’s messing with my head
Just another ambitious fool
Who should have stayed in school
It’s so easy to look back now
It’s so easy to look back now
And see where it all went wrong
Gotten so good at being wrong
Think I’ve known this all along
Trying to find some peace of mind
How could life be so unkind?
It’s so easy to look back now
It’s so easy to look back now
And see where it all went wrong
Wishing I could go back in time
But it’s too late to change my mind
I wonder if you’re still the same
Wonder if you still know my name
It’s so easy to look back now
It’s so easy to look back now
And see where it all went wrong
Feeling desperate all the time
Picked apart and left behind
Why do I have to live in fear?
While you live life without a care
Find me away out of here
Please don’t let me go back there
Don’t let me live in despair
Find me away out of here
