In my room while sleeping, I felt the rise and fall
It carried me off, killed my slumber as you emptied out my soul
But it's fake, it's a form of shame, but it's all that I can think of everyday
I sing your name while walking around these busy streets
Wishing only you could be here for the moment
We could make the same mistakes
We could make the same mistakes
I'd like to throw you away, I want to dance on your grave
Your love was never quite enough for me, I'm sorry that I stayed
A slow black death appearing in your sleep, a self you've never seen
All I can say was I knew
That growing in your stomach was a piece of me and you
We took life out of God's hands
All because I wasn't working and you had other plans
But you're fake, you're a face to blame, but how could I ever blame any other face
I scream your name out loud to nothing but barren trees
This place was made by God for you and I to see
We could make the same mistakes
We could make the same mistakes

The Saddest Pack

Deep down I know that you love me
Deep down I know that you care
You practically praised me and put me above you all the time
But you wear your pain as a glowing face, yeah
You wear your pain as a glowing face, so speak now
I wanna spill your guts for you
I wanna see what makes your heart beat
I wanna clean you off my floor again
Is it something in your head (are the talking to me?)
Or is it gnawing at your skin (are they looking at me?)
Seems to me if you really loved that shit that you swallowed
You wouldn't just throw it back up again
I've got grace in waves
I'll forget my place
I've got grace in waves
I've got everything
I had it all in my hands
I don't need your pity
I know that you only avoid me because you still love me
Everyday it eats a little more away
You wear you pain as a glowing face
Deep down I know that you worry
Deep down I know that you can't

Doing Me a Favor
03:14

I think I'm better than you
I meditate more than you do
I think I'm better than you
And I've got pages and pages of proof
So my secrets out, I lied to you about everything
Silence ain't much, but it's all that I've got
And if you wanted to erase me, you'd be doing me a favor
I'm a coward
You don't know how long I've wanted you to say this
You can do shit on your own, you don't need me there to hate me anymore
I've wanted you to say this for so long
I've wanted you to say this for so long
My secrets out, I lied to you about everything
Silence ain't much, but it's all that I've got
And if you wanted to erase me, you'd be doing me a favor
I'm a coward
You don't know how long I've wanted you to say this
You can do shit on your own, you don't need me there to hate me anymore

Manic

Soon my death will be the talk of my own household
They will weep for fading memories they don't even feel attached to
The stories that'll live on, forever more, or until they're gone
and the bardo's of your heart will match the form I'm taking on
Together we sleep
In all that all we see
Only God and folded arms will bring you back to the place you wish you were, but you given up on any normalcy
It's not what it seems, I'm less restless than you
Remember me, just let me sleep
In repose like stone, let the water come take and shape me
Anxiety, my eyes compete
Match for match I'm taken under
It's time for sleep, just you and me
Think of the words you've hidden, another lie we've written
Begging only for one more
Death follows me as I beckon him into this trap I've set
Endless lives to reach a perfect end

Even out there in the midst of all these constant premonitions, I keep both of my eyes forward thinking you might turn around, and see the hills of South Dakota alight in holy flames.
You don't even think about the choice you had to just go home.
Is it goodbye or leaving well enough alone?
Every sore tendon in your arm makes you consider what you've done, and how your masterpiece of torture is complete now unto me.
And though you know we're way past hiding, you appreciate the game, and I sang deeply from a place I thought I only went to dream.
I know I'm here right now but only you can see me.
My whole life is falling short of what it takes to be a man. I've got no story to uphold and I will surely die alone.
The way your lord walks with you chokes me up and leaves me red, cause I read book about the stars and don't believe a word they've said.
I saw grace at heaven's gates, but she said no you can't come in.
I understand.

How're You Now?

I came up empty
I knew I should've told you but I didn't have the heart
And look where we are
I should not be here
I watched you like a witness, I don't care if I regret this
But you don't comfort the villain, or give away your tactics
And oh how small we've grown in our old age
Connected and groaning
Say I'm afraid one more time and I'll leave
I'm a storm that never breaks
It just holds me in place, it's never been enough for me to change
But the sound keeps plaguing my brain, it's never been enough for me to stop
But you lost me in the way, the way it left your lips
It's hard not to think of all the ways it could've happened so differently
I can only speak for myself when I tell you that I'm a joke
I really don't care what happens after this day
This stone has cut my hands for the last time
This stone hangs, hangs low
I can feel their eyes upon me, I think they're scared
Well they're all crossed arms that foster, hate unseen
