If I Were You
Album • 2018
I can feel you staring back at me Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream Just close your eyes What you feel is fake, what you feel is fake All around the dark room I can hear their sinister cries What can I do to shake this feeling? Screaming for help but no one can hear me All alone, the demons come forth Helpless as the shadows take, take form Like a ghost preying on its victim Can I just jolt from this lucid dream? I can feel you staring back at me So haunting, so empty Another nightmare, I’m trapped in my own dream I can't move, just wake up I'm lost, alone I feel like there’s no hope I can hear you whispering to me Fear me, fear me Stay awake, don't succumb to the voices Fight with all I have until there's no other choice Stray away from the exhaustion That embodies me Never ending trauma is all that is left to see (Left to see) Just for tonight I need to stay alive It's all happening so quick And I'm running out of time I can feel you staring back at me So haunting, so empty Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream I can't move, just wake up I'm lost, alone I feel like there’s no hope I can hear you whispering to me Fear me, fear me It’s all happening so quick And I'm running out of time Before I come to my senses, it’s all over And my mind feels so weary My eyes so fucking heavy (So fucking heavy) I can feel you staring back at me Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream I can feel you staring back at me So haunting, so empty Another nightmare, I'm trapped in my own dream I can't move, just wake up I’m lost, alone I feel like there's no hope I can hear you whispering to me Fear me, fear me I can hear you whispering to me Fear me, fear me

Here I am, staring at the walls again Another useless night, just waiting for the fucking end I'm tired of living like a ghost Always searching for the light They say that it eases with time But this sinking feeling will always be mine Will always be mine Tear my heart out I'll never be the same I can feel my world crashing down And I only have myself to blame I'm a letdown, I'm a failure And it's bleeding me dry I can feel my world crashing down And I only have myself to blame When I hit rock bottom, it won't seem so wrong (Won't seem so wrong) After everything I've been through, it won't be too long I'll bury my bones in the deepest of sand I'll begin to scatter my ashes with my very own hand When the weight of the world crashes down on me Hatred courses through my veins All the self-doubt that I have inside, it still remains When it's all said and done, I am nothing Tear my heart out I'll never be the same I can feel my world crashing down And I only have myself to blame I'm a letdown, I'm a failure And it's bleeding me dry I can feel my world crashing down And I only have myself to blame A question that always stays What's the point of being positive? I'm a mess and there's nothing else I can give Free me from this life All this pain still lingers like the twist from a knife (Twist from a knife) All this pain still lingers like the twist from a knife All this pain still lingers like the twist from a knife (Twist from a knife) All this pain still lingers like the twist from a knife

Don’t forget me Every day is the fucking same I can’t shake the feeling that I’m to blame You will never forgive me And this I know I'm tearing apart the seams I wish this was only a dream Feeling lost and hopeless There must be a way through this I deserve this, my own hatred Slip away I think I’m losing you No, I’ll never be okay Please stay I need you more than you ever needed me Why can’t I find the words to say To make this all go away? I reach for you but find nothing there I fucked up one too many times Saying these words of different kinds Why can’t I change myself? Why can't I better myself? (Better myself) Bitter and angry, I can never make you happy Make you happy I'm tearing apart the seams I wish this was only a dream Feeling lost and hopeless There must be a way through this Slip away I think I’m losing you No, I’ll never be okay Please stay I need you more than you ever needed me Why can’t I find the words to say To make this all go away? I reach for you but find nothing there Failing to see what’s in front of me My regret is crushing what we could be Turn your back, like you always do But in my mind the closest thing is you I will never forget you I must reap what I sow I will never forget you I must reap what I sow

Can I begin to start again? Let go and just forget the way it's always been? Everything that held me back and Everyone who didn't believe in me Gone like a heart attack Does it have to be, does it have to be so bad? Fuck these memories I wish I never had Good things don't come to those who wait All I am is just filled with self-hate (Filled with self-hate) I don't belong here, I won't have any fear I've seen this all through Hollow soul, empty body If you only really knew Hollow soul, empty body If you only really knew In a haze, emotionless for days Learning to cope in my own ways I know there's no exit To this never-ending maze (Ending maze) When you look at me Do you see a shell of what I used to be? (What I used to be) Do you see a shell of what I once was? Death may be what I need I pray one last time, just waiting for a sign Relax and fucking breathe Do you even know what this all means? Who is this person that I see? I'm trying to find my way But I'm lost in a memory Lost in a memory I close my eyes to escape But all I can see is your face Pain so intense Something only in my dreams, in my dreams Now I face the reality of what's inside (Can I begin to start again?) Should I fucking give up and just say goodbye? (Can I start again?) Nowhere in sight to hide, oh Is this all worth dying All worth dying for?

When the world comes crashing down Where will, where will you be? Seems like you are never there for me Through the hardest of times Why can't you set me free? Why can't you set me free? Truth be told I never believed in much This time alone Just trying to avoid your clutch There's a fear in all of us Do we question, believe there is more? We're following a false sense of hope Are we too blind to see That there's more than this? I've been lost in all the silence Been trapped inside my head Not knowing if this is the end If this is the end Faith is hard to keep when All these emotions cut so deep Is there someone out there Besides the ones who don't fucking care? Fucking care See the empty sky and just say goodbye There's a fear in all of us Do we question, believe there is more? We're following a false sense of hope Are we too blind to see That there's more than this? How can you not see it's killing me? So far from where I need it to be Where I need it to be Stop giving me false hope, false hope All of this is just a fucking joke, it's over now So say that we both knew It's too late, but it's too late It's over now Where were you when I needed you? It's over now Where were you when I reached the end?

I don’t want to feel anymore Anymore I barely make the days go by I tell myself that I am fine But I know it's a lie It’s all a fucking lie Death seems so tempting and I'm on the verge of losing this battle I don’t wanna feel broken anymore So tired of faking, I just want to be normal You ran away when I needed you the most Was I ever good enough for you? If I choose this path what would it even matter? (Even matter) The nights blend together as I Iie awake lifeless It’s too late, you can’t change, why can’t I realize Every word that you’ve said was all a fucking lie? God knows I’ve tried to get you out of my mind Why can’t I forget? Why can’t I forget you? I don’t wanna feel broken anymore So tired of faking, I just want to be normal You ran away when I needed you the most Was I ever good enough for you? I was a promise that you could never keep Now I’ll always question everything There is nothing anyone can do for me Bring me back to a place where I felt myself Was it something I did? Was it something I said that made you walk away? I keep blaming myself for all the mistakes you’ve made (All the mistakes you've made) I try to hide it and not let it show You were once a part of me, I need to let you go I need to let you go This is what it’s like to feel alone, alone Alone Was it something I did? Was it something I said that made you walk away? I keep blaming myself for all the mistakes you have made I try to hide it and not let it show You were once a part of me, I need to let you go I need to let you go So this is what it’s like to truly feel alone So this is what it’s like to truly feel alone

Where did I go wrong? Was I just chasing a ghost or am I losing control? Feels like my body is falling apart inside A constant struggle of knowing what's wrong or right But her voice still calls me like a siren’s song The cold blue fills my lungs The pressure building so fast, building so fast As my senses are falling apart Her grip is tight as the spell she cast So hard to breathe, can't catch my breath Feels like an anchor's tied to my chest I’m drifting away so far from home Don't let me sink to the ocean's floor Don't let me sink Whispers and secrets flood my ears This is wrong but I'm locked as she nears Feels like my body is falling apart inside A constant struggle of knowing what's wrong or right But her voice still calls me like a siren's song I fell for the demon's eyes And the lonely sounds of her piercing cries So hard to breathe, can’t catch my breath Feels like an anchor’s tied to my chest I'm drifting away so far from home Don’t let me sink to the ocean's floor So hard to breathe, can't catch my breath Feels like an anchor's tied to my chest I’m drifting away so far from home Don't let me sink to the ocean's floor To the ocean's floor If this is the end for me, would you please let me go? I'm so tired of holding on This is the end for me, why won't you let me go? Just let me go So hard to breathe, can't catch my breath Feels like an anchor's tied to my chest I'm drifting away so far from home Don't let me sink So hard to breathe, can't catch my breath Feels like an anchor's tied to my chest I'm drifting away so far from home Don't let me sink Don't let me Don't let me sink

Everyone I once knew has faded away This old town can never feel the same 'Cause where the hell is my hope I once held? I'm leaving at first light, this is something I've never felt I've lost my home And goddamn, it's worse than you'll ever know You'll ever know It changes me from the inside So many days have come and passed me by I'm sick of waiting for the right time To leave this all behind Turn my back and say goodbye Hold these thoughts, hold these memories inside my head Why can't I just fucking forget And leave this all behind? Turn my back and say goodbye Leave these sick memories behind closed curtains Something is pulling me Further the fuck away and I know this for certain You know I won't let this fucking dream die Let all the sick memories go I've counted the cars as they passed me by I've lived, I've lost and I won't let this dream die So many days have come and passed me by I'm sick of waiting for the right time To leave this all behind Turn my back and say goodbye Hold these thoughts, hold these memories inside my head Why can't I just fucking forget And leave this all behind? Turn my back and say goodbye Don't worry about me when I'm gone The weight of the world on my shoulders just feels so strong Don't worry about me when I'm gone The weight of the world on my shoulders just feels so strong I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for something Reaching out for something But at least I know I fucking tried I fucking tried I don't need anyone else by my side

The taste of fear is so bitter on my tongue A familiar feeling, so hard to break free There's only so much I can do when the world is Screaming at my face I need to escape, break these chains So hard to breathe for days and days Every hour on the clock feels like I'm wasting away Get up off the ground and keep fucking pushing Wipe the dirt from your face, this is not the end It's the final round, you're not fucking losing Don't turn your back on the world, this is not the end I never thought I could feel so empty So empty down inside, oh God, it eats me alive A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me I want to get away, get away from this world I never thought I could feel so empty I have to win this fight and put this shit all behind A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me I have to fight these demons to get through this alive A fire burns so slowly inside my chest Please someone save me And every time I die a little more inside What's the answer? Drown this fear, rid this anxiety I'm freaking out inside but here I sit so silently Drown this fear, rid this anxiety Push me to my limits, try to keep my sanity Drown this fear, rid this anxiety I'm freaking out inside but here I sit so silently Drown this fear, rid this anxiety Push me to my limits, try to keep my sanity I never thought I could feel so empty So empty down inside, oh God, it eats me alive A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me I want to get away, get away from this world I never thought I could feel so empty I have to win this fight and put this shit all behind A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me I have to fight these demons to get through this alive Grab it by the throat till I win this fight Nothing's stopping me now, nothing's bringing me down Grab it by the throat till I win this fight Smother every bad existing thought I've ever had

Just as I turned away And you fell to the ground All I heard was your screams But you never made a sound Never made a sound These voices I hear are never truly near Letting go of what I hold true Is something I'll always have to fear I knew that this would be the last time I saw it in your eyes I never believed it would be the same But in my mind I thought that this would change I know that this might be the end It’s been weighing on my mind It's killing me, killing me on the inside Hear me out, hear me out This isn't what I want to become of us But I can’t live with this pressure It stabs deep inside my gut When time moves on so do I (So do I) I see the damage of what I have done Always feeling the burn like a close encounter of the sun I begin to retrace what nearly could have been Just please forgive me for I know that I Have plenty of fucking sins I knew that this would be the last time I saw it in your eyes I never believed it would be the same But in my mind I thought that this would change I know that this might be the end It's been weighing on my mind It's killing me, killing me on the inside I'll stand by my broken views Alone in this dark place, I have paid my dues I'm freeing myself from the endless cycle Finding the strength within I don't need some miracle Don't need some miracle I knew that this would be the last time I saw it in your eyes I never believed it would be the same But in my mind I thought that this would change I know that this might be the end It's been weighing on my mind It’s killing me, killing me on the inside, fuck

I wish I was a better man Always a step behind despite doing the best I can But I swear I'll learn to love myself Not with yours or anyone else's fucking help I know I've lost myself too many times Made mistakes more often than not I will overcome these feelings that I have Vanquish the dark thoughts that drive me mad Don't stand in my way, no words left to say I have nothing left to lose and everything to fucking prove I won't let this be the death of who I am No one can stop who I will become I'll leave the past and everything I've fucking done Say what you will but this won't be the end I'll move forward, never look back again Letting go of everything that holds me back Holds me back I'm taking steps towards my redemption Clearing this sick head of all assumptions You won't see me fucking fail The world isn't so cut and dry When alone, the thoughts come rushing in A future of uncertainty What will it hold? I have the heart and I have the will I must break the mold, break the mold No one can stop who I will become I'll leave the past and everything I've fucking done Say what you will but this won't be the end I'll move forward, never look back again Never look back again Never look back again No one can stop me, I will move on I will fucking vanquish All of the dark in this life of hell I will leave my mark for better or worse Watch as I shake this fucking curse I will vanquish all the dark, all the dark Watch as I shake this fucking curse

Do you believe? Do you believe that I'm still with you? Or have you given up entirely? (Entirely) I still see you all the time And your voice rings so loud Maybe this is what they call a sign Nothing is the same and I can't be free Bury me, I'm where you want to be Can we go back to better days When we felt so alive? (Felt so alive) When a moment could last forever All I needed was a little more time My eyes have seen the future This place is so fucking hollow I am everything you're not Just erase these useless thoughts I am every fucking lie I should have said goodbye Can we go back to better days When we felt so alive? (Felt so alive) When a moment could last forever All I needed was a little more time Can we go back to better days When we felt so alive? (Felt so alive) When a moment could last forever All I needed was a little more time If I could only fix this mess We wouldn't be here in the first place Everywhere I turn I see your face Do you believe? I know you're out there, watching over me So long, so long, my friend, so long I know you're out there, watching over me So long, so long, my friend, so long
