I will grow my layers out
'Til you cannot see the shape of my mouth
You felt yourself triumph again
But above the Earth it is meaningless
We hold on to each other with our mouths cut up
We won't love one another we're not capable of it
Said you would not leave
Though I know you tried
Fell into the Earth
For the last time
You felt it first
All I've ever suffered with
And when you feel it end
You won't bring us back
We hold on to each other with our mouths cut up
We won't love one another we're not capable of it
Said you would not need
to keep yourself alive
effortless to accept
with nothing left to defend
I felt it first
But I was too ambitious
Our tired expectations
What were all those seconds worth

Unrest
04:44
|
|||
Where I've been, you'll never guess
Are you here for my sake or yours?
Criticized, or better yet
Left alone
Have you screamed us better yet?
Understand I want to be ignored
I've upheld a state of unrest
For us both
Take me back outside
Clear the wreckage from my mind
Tell me I'll be okay please
Where I've been, you'll never guess
Are you here for my sake or yours?
Criticized, or better yet
Left alone
Should I voice all of my concerns
There's no peace when you are all I see
I wake up, and I'm in a state
I can't be in
Take me back outside
I can't explain, and you decide
I watch you give up on me

Worsening

Don't be so cruel to me
I have found the worst of you in me
So morose
A vile temperament
The roughest weather
We've ever seen
Don't be so cowardly
I have found your deviations
Show remorse
You unkind thing
You're easily divided
And bound by pain
You're only worsening
You lose your features
What did I first believe in
Don't be so cruel to me
I will drive bridges between our
Houses down
At every dead end
There is consequence
At every dead end
You're only worsening
You lose your features
What did I first believe in
Don't be so
Cruel to me
I have found
You're only worsening

Cave In
04:55
|
|||
You're speaking carelessly
try to breathe until we stop to rest
the light is refracting
on your face but I will not look back
I would cave in
You are a threat to me
I've seen your thoughts surround your jaw
It's only increasing
The feeling that it's not enough
in such a sharp decline
With a violent action you can't unlearn
the doubt was never mine
now I will be the first to leave
Are you trying your best this time
Which will leave the other behind
Eyes unfocus, but I'm not blind
Which will leave the other behind
A body made of shells
Second burst until the last collapse
The scream is deafening
Grinding down on what is left of teeth
I know who's in control now
Confrontation at your wounded hand
This grief was never mine
Now I can't tear myself away
Are you trying your best this time
Which will leave the other behind
Eyes unfocus, but I'm not blind
Which will leave the other behind
Holding up what's left to survive
Which will leave the other behind

Hypertension

Silence will fall in the room
Said I was fine but I spoke too soon
All the thoughts you occupy
Trouble my mind
Nobody wants to be wrong
The torment of getting along
But there’s not much left for us now
You draw yourself from the lake
And I hear you call to me again
But you have been raised with the same faults and pains
If you are held by the throat
Will you talk your way
Will you talk your way out of love again
You can't say you've never been talked to this way
You can't say you've never been hurt this way
You can't say you've never been talked to this way
'Cause I know you and I know all your thoughts
I know you and I know where it hurts
I know you and I know all your faults
I know you and I know where it hurts
I don’t see the shame in admitting defeat
When you can hardly stand and you’re ready to weep
But you’ve never been one to break down and cry
So I will cross your frame, make you understand why

Speak To Carry Us
05:26
|
|||
Anxious all at once trying to calm down and remember a time I was not like this instead I drown in the sound of more self doubt
Stumble through the non descriptive days to forge an existence that is less exhausting to have to endure
Started crying mid-argument
Always thinking too much of it
I watch as we separate into ourselves again and I think I make a mistake every time I tell you I love you
Started crying mid-argument
Trouble with feelings you resurrect
Rushing up to begin a fight as if there's no other way
Casting off a sharper knife like I was never, never afraid
Cower from a weakness I'll become until there's no other way
Thought that I could speak to carry us but I was always afraid
Holding up a conversation about nothing while I try not to express how angry and vacant I seem to be all the time
When will having friends not be so hard to maintain I just want us to be close to survive together
Started crying mid-argument
Settle or be called too sensitive
Rushing up to begin a fight as if there's no other way
Casting off a sharper knife like I was never, never afraid
Cower from a weakness I'll become until there's no other way
Thought that I could speak to carry us but I was always afraid

I Am More Directed
04:23
|
|||
I am more directed than any ray of light I've ever seen
I am not here to help some oblivious man evolve
Is that all there is, is that all I am to you, how shallow
Don't invite me to your house so you can stare at me, how horrible
Furious until it becomes natural
I shouldn't have to be so powerful
I only become more clever in the presence of your ignorance
I did not ask for advice but I am forced to listen I guess
Is that all there is, is that all there is to you, how simple
Don't project your insecurities upon me, your arrogance
Furious until it becomes natural
I shouldn't have to be so powerful
Ferocious until it becomes natural
I shouldn't have to be so powerful
I am more directed than any ray of light you'll ever see
Guarded as your poor temper rises, now I have a choice to make
Is that all there is, is that what I am to you, this violence
If you get aggressive, I can get aggressive.
