Make sure you hide, hide all the scars Don’t let them find out who you are You’re here again A new beginning to a new end And you never thought you’d have to face this Hell is here Realize you are everything they say Hell is here Crushed under the weight of judgement Now you’re trapped, being buried alive Behind these walls made of pain and lies  Choke on every cry for help as your world comes crashing down The seams of your veil are ripping apart Bringing to light everything you’re hiding in the dark

Night whispered madness Teasing me silently with its frigid embrace I took its smug breeze into my lungs And exhaled with a blighting sigh My breathe danced off my lips onto the crisp spring air Moving how our fingers used to slide across each other’s skin A rising caper, fading into stars Joining other memories Never to be relived, never to be relived Leaving me to suffer with the notion of my own decaying relevancy This night whispered madness Sowing with salt and leaving me here to rust
4.
You were outlined in the fire’s glow And I wish there was a way to take me back To be there frozen in that moment Where the rest of the world just seems to fall away As I melted into your fucking hands As each thread slipped away It was if all my prayers had been answered Turning the key to unlock Something I could truly believe in You were outlined in the fire’s glow Revealing every contour exactly where it was meant to be Sight was my only sense not burned away From the glaze of the flame’s dancing red light on your skin And as I began to thaw Everything outside that room turns to ash Every inviting movement you made towards me Ignited new temptations I never knew could exist You were showing me the warmth that I knew I needed As if you were the devil bargaining for my soul
5.
We are drifting further apart Whispers in exclamation points I see the end If I could, I’d keep you to myself with hearts intact
6.
You know why we are here Cemented in this void and hands bound by fear I have always known that we’d end up here Last thing I need is you whispering in my fucking ear Shut the fuck up, let me think for myself We suffer because I have lost control You’ve always ran away You’ve always stayed inside You’ve always hid in shame You’ve always been looking for a way out Tormented by the thought That we will never be who or what we wanted to be Always questioning the validity of our own reality We will fail at every presented opportunity And we will never be able to separate the difference between You and me You are me

Now Con tells me, This should ring a bell The fear, madness and unease Chained down yet holding all the keys I say, it sounds familiar. Like a lost dream Then Con mentions, it’s more real than it seems The long, empty, endless days The cold and sleepless nights Con says, the world will never understand If I’m blinded by my own hands I ask, what made him crack? The pressure of success or addiction clawing at his back None of the above, Con quickly replied But neither helped when he chose to cast the world aside The relationships he failed and the ones that failed him Are what left the scars underneath his skin Con says, if you just open up your eyes, you’ll see This sounds familiar, cause it’s about you and me
8.
I’m ready to be a memory Looked back on as a blurred story A name only seen on old photographs And heard on whispers from the past I want my final breath To fade into the distance, past the warmth of the morning sun You know, I think I’ve always been a ghost Hiding inside the dead shell of a stranger I want my voice forever lost to eternity I’m ready to become a fucking memory
9.
Take this lead arrow from my chest As I gag on the wings of butterflies Take a chance I promise you that the light of day will never catch up to us
10.
Your mind is melting away Leaving you with nothing but regret You spent your life working for tomorrow When you could have lived for today I bet you imagined you’re the star of your own show But you’re being canceled due to ratings being low The finale ends with your tombstone that reads “I’m still living in the past” The joke being that you did that your whole life, and the studio audience can’t help but laugh And as your mind enters a deranged abyss Your sheets act as shackles tying you down in your own piss Skin shapes to your bones as the years pass you by Lying in your bed, time fading, waiting to die Now in your final moments, as death pulls you away Your only wish is there was someone who cared enough to say goodbye
11.
When I opened My newly rested eyes The sun was staring Right back at me Floating in a shallow riverbed, I felt the small fish swim beneath me And when I asked them, they carried me through the warm water to the grass covered shore All the hands reached out for me Everyone and you were there for me I could smell your hair as you wrapped your arms around me I remembered A time that we were afraid I lived in fear How did we carry that weight It seemed so real Now I feel no pain And sorrow doesn’t exist Nothing can hurt us And when I see myself in your eyes I know everything will be okay

These silhouettes They are tangled how water flows Incapsulated in nothing but bright red A fever of controlled pandemonium Fingertips melt off each other Lips are securely glued Muscles tighten under soft skin Read without sight when touched in the right places Uncontrollable tremors stretch out their limbs Only to be pulled back by each other’s hands War rages in a loving violence And all their teeth are unmasked Sheets retreat as gods trample their home Forever conquering each other’s lands Puzzle pieces slide perfectly into each other Cause indistinct whispers to break free from their prison Time fades into smoke that drifts into the background Swinging to the beat caused by the friction These two forms move as one like the waves of a furious ocean Crashing against the cliffs, then gently getting pulled back out to sea Explosions cause stars to fall from the heavens And the red turns into the softest white glow Wrapped in each other’s arms, heartbeats start to play a slower song now These gods become mortal again
