At the Bottom

Some doors should have never been opened... I always felt the friction And every night I saw the spark In part it's where the paranoia starts First with intolerance, pathetic ignorance Indifferent fucking pigs Who watched in silence as it all came apart What do you care now Now that our choices are dwindling What do you care How many wonders lay dead at our feet Regarded with suspicion When nothing else was ever earned We've turned the tables on ourselves Try to advance but never learn Promises never met A biased temperament Knowledge disintegrates When it all comes crashing down Devolving right from the start Let go of my hand You'll never stop this What do you care now Now that our choices are dwindling What do you care How many wonders lay dead at our feet Let go of my hand So I can violate your trust Let go of my hand You'll never stop this... Devolving right from the start Let go of my hand You'll never stop this Give me the shapes to create life And I'll make you a gun With outstretched arms I'll cut the light from your eyes Hate me, forgive me Your god will never save me No point in waiting Faith seems so useless lately A world evolved can't find it's own way Through oblivion's gates Let go of my hand Devolving right from the start Let go of my hand You'll never stop this Devolving right from the start Let go of my hand You'll never stop yourselves

So this is what it's like to be forgotten It's been days since I've seen anybody My escape is nothing more than a cage Just push a little further so I can taste your tears What does it matter at all You're just another statistic When things get slow Hold it in just for a moment Then some of us see what nobody wanted The frailty that slipped out of frame The things that were safe are somehow forgotten Some things will always be waiting We are an inhumane and decrepit flaw That forces love to crawl on all fours It flows above our common body And stays from the line of general sight What does it matter at all You're just another statistic When things get slow Hold it in just for a moment Then some of us see what nobody wanted The frailty that slipped out of frame The things that were safe are somehow forgotten Some things will always be waiting Am I to assume that all this worthless obsession Can't dissolve in clear waters I watched it fall apart from the inside I'll never find a way out I couldn't let it go It's something I can't hold You're my weakness You're my frailty

You left me here to die I look out to the sun As it descends behind this dead city Feel the heat on my face See the broken frames As they swell behind my eyes I hate these tears of freedom I searched for a new name This place was never mine Yet still it remains but it's just not the same In here you never left me... In my darkest hours I felt the end of serenity Remember the hope you gave me I move towards the light I tried to look up My only company is walls You've taken every dream Now it's starting again I swear the trust will end She's the only one that could save me I know your concrete heaven A prison for my mind Without a star in sight Although it dulls the pain I'm still eaten by flies In here you never left me... In my darkest hours I felt the end of serenity Remember the hope you gave me I move towards the light I choked down the pills With Jesus by my side Now I will become My own worst enemy before the end What if I never wake up From this nightmare I've created in my head How did these little hands get so cold How did they get so cold When I die can I follow you... everywhere You can't follow me into my head But I can keep you here as long as I want This place was safe until you came In here no one will leave me again But I keep reliving the worst of the moments Killing me slowly It keeps on repeating over again Over again

When none of you can be questioned As it spreads the regrets are trying Too many days spent above unchallenged But it all ends here If I could breath again I'd look down at the writing on the wall Regret these narcissistic tendencies I'll die before I crawl Haunted alone by a vision As wheels turn a young life washed away Can't be saved There is nothing but us in a hallway In the place where they all used to pray If I could breath again I'd look down at the writing on the wall Regret these narcissistic tendencies I'll die before I crawl Before I... Crawl Become a shadow of you Wasted every trace Strong enough to face my well earned shame Don't ever ask me if you can ease the strain It's washed away For all to see You will complete us when all else fails Then we won't ever shift The blame

I see through your bullshit halo I am garbage grinning through your spit I am the flaw in your perfect pattern Give me the rope I'll do the rest myself I'm not perfect so stay the fuck away You can't fix the broken And make them whole again I'll trust in you to leave me at the bottom My place in the dust is shallow I will always remember what I was Come live one day under these chains This goddamn glass is not half full I'm not perfect so stay the fuck away You can't fix the broken And make them whole again I'll trust in you to leave me at the bottom I once was something more in a life that escaped me The question isn't how But why you kept us here? A tired mind strung out too far It's all for nothing Believe in me and I will let you down Just like I always do In times of need I will slip away I will be perfect like you If there's still love somewhere down there It's so buried under all the shit And hopelessness I wanna destroy everything beautiful in you I'm not perfect so stay the fuck away You can't fix the broken And make them whole again I'll trust in you to leave me at the bottom

It all started with a whisper that followed me home I felt the vomit trickle off my lips and splash on the floor Peering through a broken window pane I see the shape stand out against the street light I hear the unfamiliar knocking Something has gotten inside In time you'll know you're nothing Inside you can feel me crawling My tormentor lives in every shadow The only way to heaven was to go through hell As I look up to these stars So close could almost touch them yet so far From my sheltered existence My mind's a feeding ground It will all end with a whisper as I lose feeling in my face The clouds open up I felt the presence of the failures Eyes always watching and I know it will never give up My tormentor lives in every shadow The only way to heaven was to go through hell As I look up to these stars So close could almost touch them yet so far From my sheltered existence My mind's a feeding ground You were the only star in this place of ashes I'm dragging this cross behind me You watched me wallow in absence You took me to a place where I could never die Something has stocked across the boundaries Through all defenses And crawled into my thorn-filled cradle I couldn't change it all for you You know you can't resist me If I follow you blindly can you promise me god As I look up to these stars So close could almost touch them yet so far From my sheltered existence My mind's a feeding ground I am the voice that reassures you that you're really nothing I am the spit you didn't have the confidence to wipe off your face I was there behind her eyes the last time you ever saw her I was in the walls every night when you cried yourself to sleep I am the reason you had a face not even a mother could love I fueled your hate for all those who've left you and I'm not about to let up I am the Failure I'll never go away

Fuck, kill, release Shedding everything I loved until I am free Almost pornographically satisfying scene A rope pulled tight the dangling feet It all seems so final When I play with you this way It came to life when I was defenseless There's no one here, scream all you want The setting sun reflects the helpless There's no one here, scream all you want I felt so alive today I just had to paint you blue What if I lost my sanity? Would I be sick or me or something new? It all seems so final When I play with you this way Now we're alone in this Now we're alone in bliss It came to life when I was defenseless There's no one here, scream all you want The setting sun reflects the helpless There's no one here, scream all you want Put the locust in the syringe Everything's plagiarized Every urge a sin My life is a consequence now My past is better left unspoken My words leave an empty hole My spirit is broken A breach in the walls of paradise May be the last thing we all know I'll tear every feather from your wings And smell your skin as it goes cold...

It was my first day in a life with regrets Now I count my loathing in days Who the fuck were you to take my innocence Nothing was ever broken There was never anything to be fixed You used to shield me from the pain 'Til you became the goddamn catalyst The marching drones don't know a thing While all hope dies under their feet Head to a path untold with moral depravity Where do we turn When our idea of justice is blatant corruption? The crown became a noose Our time is slowly ending The system is flawed Let the cycle begin again Splitting at the seems it was patchwork at best Writhing as old wounds burst open Time and again I tried to bleed your poison out But the infection spread The marching drones don't know a thing While all hope dies under their feet Head to a path untold with moral depravity Where do we turn When our idea of justice is blatant corruption? The crown became a noose Our time is slowly ending The system is flawed Let the cycle begin again I see the look on their empty faces And their empty stares And I know this world Is long past due for real change Let me be your indecision Let my side be the indifference of choice Sick and begging on the sidelines It doesn't matter if you're right as long as you win If you could live again would you be empty and alone Sick and begging on the sidelines It doesn't matter if you're right as long as you win If you could live again would you be empty and alone

The same god A different war Here on the edge We make our last stand Manipulated by static This is our new world of stares In your presence we hold Our present state lets go We've stumbled with no cause Become the unthinking horde You'll never take our voice In our final moments we'll truly know desire We'll understand our need to exists The cause of our downfall I'll watch the smoke block out the sun Rising from our bridges There will be nothing else Just ashes and tyrants After the world We'll still want more If they could see Unmarked graves could speak We'd perceive through the static We'd heal this fucking disease We will unite or we'll fall Our greed's insatiable Build this up brick by brick Until our final call You'll never take our voice In our final moments we'll truly know desire We'll understand our need to exist The cause of our downfall I'll watch the smoke block out the sun Rising from our bridges There will be nothing else Just ashes and tyrants I'll watch the smoke block out the sun Rising from our bridges There will be nothing else Just ashes and tyrants Wake up the world and finally see This fire's burning and I can't stop it This false cause of profit will bring us to our knees This fire's burning and I can't stop it If you bar the windows Our opportunities will soon be gone If you bar the windows Our opportunities will soon be gone We will hold on

When all the pictures Lose their colors Black and gray silhouettes Are lost in the static I want to taste your sunshine On a bed of nails You look to the man in the sky But he was never there When all the walls of false perception Are crumbling at our feet We will all remain in a world Where we can't take it all back I don't know what I am But I don't belong here I spent years in a peaceful world Now it's time for the relapse As the abyss stared back Over my shoulder I saw there were rays of light It's almost over After all the false promises of change I've lost count of all we could have been Believe in me and I will let you down
