The Return
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
These voices keep circling
My head is constricted
I’m floating in limbo
My brain is addicted
So feed me lies till I’m dead
Make me cry and crush my head
The monster is clawing out and I can feel her
But this time I’m ready, yeah I won’t stutter
I used to be so fragile
Every day was a losing battle
I’ve worked too hard to toughen my skin
I won’t let you take me over again
Am I scared? Ha...
Im always begging "Please!"
But you can try to pluck me clean
Cuz I’ll still be a tree if I lose all my leaves
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
Rip through me all you want
I may sit still, but don’t think I’ve given up
I’ve fought this battle for far too long
You can take this mind—over my dead body!
Worms dig deeper in my brain,
A thousand centipedes crawling in my ear
Hit me, I’ll reflect back it a thousand times
I’ll show you why I hide behind this mask of fear
You wanna see a monster cuz you’re brining her out
There’s no room in my brain for a strand of doubt
I got light on my side and my wings are shining bright
There’s only one way to get rid of all this blight
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
Cuz I’m not giving up!
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
Everything crashes down when I stand
I’m healed from the scars you laid with your hands
You’re learning the hard way that I’m in control
I’m taking back my life, the one that you stole
There’s a reason I lock these thoughts inside
There’s a reason I am still alive
You may flood my head with unwanted thoughts
But I have the power to make them stop
You hear that? It’s your last verse
Let it all spill out like you rehearsed
Over and over the dark has beaten
I’m suffocating and yet you hear me breathing!
You wanna know where my God is?
He never left.
You may flood my head with unwanted thoughts
But I have the power to make them stop
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
Cuz I’m not giving up!

Hide
03:04
|

The monsters are all around me
I cannot see straight
I’ve fought for way too long, hey
Now the shadows move on their own
The dark is not what’s evil
It’s what hides inside
The corpses at my feet, hey
It’s all my fault they died
I’m gonna hide away
The fear is here to stay
I’m gonna hide, hide
Eating me from the inside
The spiders in my mind
Hide, hide
I wear a mask at all times
Don’t let me take it off
Cuz my face will haunt your nightmares
My writing on the walls
I don’t want to be around you
My shadow’s after you
The dark is not what’s evil
But what’s in it’s made me feeble
I’m gonna hide away
The fear is here to stay
I’m gonna hide, hide
Eating me from the inside
The spiders in my mind
Hide, hide
Don’t make me make a promise
You know I can’t keep
There’s a labyrinth in my brain
And I’ve been stuck for so long
I don’t know what’s in these walls,
I don’t know what makes them move
But the dark is crushing me
And hiding is all that I can do
I’m gonna hide away
The fear is here to stay
I’m gonna hide, hide
Eating me from the inside
The spiders in my mind
Hide, hide

Here You Are
03:29
|
|||
I was alive
I’m stuck in this grave
You rescued me
But I wasn’t safe
You told me lies
Distracted me with all your moves
You left me
Out in the cold with my lips turning blue
Here you are
Here you are
Here you are
Here you are
You brought me so far down
I’m crashing with no sound
I can’t see where the road leads
But as long as I’m away from you…
I won’t be intertwined with you again, no
I see your eyes
They’re crystal clear
And in your mind
I’ve disappeared
You brought me so far down
I’m crashing with no sound
I can’t see where the road leads
But as long as I’m away from you…
Here you are again,
You’re crashing into me
I thought that we were done
As far as I could see
There’s nothing left for you
I’m ripping at the seams
Just let me die in your past
Cuz I just want to scream
You brought me so far down
I’m crashing with no sound
I can’t see where the road leads
But as long as I’m away from you…
You brought me so far down
I’m crashing with no sound
I can’t see where the road leads
But as long as I’m away from you…
I won’t be intertwined with you again, no

Loser
05:36
|
|||
Eyes, they follow me like arrows to my head
Failure on my mind and a dagger in my heart
I keep my head down low but I cannot go back
I scream into the void but it only whispers back
Laughter around me as my vision's going black
Rain won't wash away the pain, man I'm drowning fast
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I slip into darkness as I dig my grave
They all expect me to pave my way
But I can’t hit the notes they want
I can’t even write the words I want
I think I was a weird kid in school growing up
All my friends pulled away from me when I left
But I guess that’s okay because I’m good when I’m alone
But some days, I wish they would just pick up the phone, like
They all thought I was something I’m not
They all guessed I’d be famous but I’m not
Doesn’t matter, I don’t wanna be
But I can’t help but feel that I fell short
Everything is tilting like sand in the glass
I thought the tears were gone for good, but they’re back
And I’m drowning in them
I guess not all good things last
Eyes, they follow me like arrows to my head
Failure on my mind and a dagger in my heart
I keep my head down low but I cannot go back
I scream into the void but it only whispers back
Laughter around me as my vision's going black
Rain won't wash away the pain, man I'm drowning fast
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
Inside I’ve been dying and I couldn’t fight it
There was always a hole in my head filled with stupid
Am I an idiot to keep going with no momentum
Am I an idiot to keep trying when there’s no end to the struggle?
I dream farther than my arms can reach and
I fall deeper as I sink into quicksand
I’ve let everybody down and now I have no one
Just sitting here alone with my headphones and my song
I open my mouth but no one listens
I’m searching but my eyes can’t see the end
Rot is filling up my senses now
As my dreams decay inside my skin
Everything is tilting like sand in the glass
I thought the tears were gone for good, but they’re back
And I’m drowning in them
Guess not all good things last
I used to feel like this all the time
But I’ve learned there’s more than this to life
So even though I’m getting nowhere, I push on
I’m just downing on myself right now
Sometimes it’s okay to be low
It’s okay to feel like you’re completely useless
I used to feel like this all the time
I’m just drowning in myself right now

Every night I go to sleep
I see you in my dreams
And I can’t leave
As we stand between the trees
Why do you do this to me?
I can barely breathe
Don’t leave me here to die
You didn’t even try
So long, my friend
We won’t meet again
But if you need me, I’m just a call away
But please don’t cuz I hate living this way
It took me a while
To see the cellophane
You put it up and gave me a front row seat
Cuz it turned to glass and it’s bullet proof
And it’s getting fogged up
So long, my friend
We won’t meet again
But if you need me, I’m just a call away
But please don’t cuz I hate living this way
And I bandaged you while I was bleeding out
And I stood for you when everyone sat down
And I thought you would do the same for me
But it seems I’m full of naievity
Cuz you’d never
No, you’d never…
Every night I go to sleep
I see you in my dreams
I wish your words rang true
But these bruises are from you
So long, my friend
We won’t meet again
But if you need me, I’m just a call away
But please don’t cuz I hate living this way

Burn to Ash
02:21
|
|||
Give me a moment to get my mind on track
Give me a moment to get you off my back
Give me a second (yeah, let me breathe here)
It’s time for me to stand now that I’ve dried my tears
I used to stare into the darkness hoping I would find light
But Yagami was there to put my name in ink and as he writes
I strike the match and let it burn, let it all fall to ash
I let it all burn to ash, let it all burn to ash
Give me a moment to get my mind on track
Give me a moment to get you off my back
Give me a second (yeah, let me breathe here)
It’s time for me to stand now that I’ve dried my tears
I used to stare into the darkness hoping I would find light
But Yagami was there to put my name in ink and as he writes
I strike the match and let it burn, let it all fall to ash
I let it all burn to ash, let it all burn to ash

Bad Guy
04:47
|
|||
Where... where do I go from here?
Glass beneath my feet
Liquid rushing to the drain
Is that my blood mixed in,
Or someone else's?
Don't need a crutch,
Not no more, promise.
Wobbly but I stand
Not as weak as I was.
I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the bad guy.
Selfishness ruins one's heart and I can't see yours.
Black as shadows and quivering with fault.
You're standing on pillars of salt.
Neon lights overhead,
But the dark's too heavy.
Your head is empty,
Your brain's on the ground
Push the problem away.
Force everyone else to pay.
No work, no play,
No brain, no stay.
I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the bad guy.
Selfishness ruins one's heart and I can't see yours.
Black as shadows and quivering with fault.
You're standing on pillars of salt.
Maybe we should agree to disagree
There's no point in harming me
You tried to place bars all around me
You tried to place laws to hinder my speech
But here I stand, yeah here I am,
But I don't think I'll ever be free
You... probably... don't really care, but if you want... we can get out of here together.
I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the bad guy.
Selfishness ruins one's heart and I can't see yours.
Black as shadows and quivering with fault.
You're standing on pillars of salt.
I'm not the bad guy, cross my heart hope to die.
Impatient flames licks my throat, I keep it bayed
I'm not the bad guy, playing with fire, are you?
I'm not the bad guy, but perhaps I am to you.

Find You
03:32
|
|||
I’m sorry for this
But you need to find you
You’ve gone for too long
Staring into shards of glass
Your edges are ripping
Your eyes are always dripping
Your skin is transparent
As you let them take over you
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
This reflection of you
You stare right through
Who you want to be
Is not looking back at you
We change every day
Nothing is ever the same
Who you think you are today
Is the backbone of tomorrow’s growth
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
And it’s all an illusion, what they promise
The sky won’t fall if you look the other way
I know you’re mortified, you’re terrified
But I hope you know I’ll be with you through the end
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
You’re shaking, you’re shaking,
I’m afraid of just leaving
But on this twisted path
This could be what saves you
You draw on a face
But that’s not who you are
You’re shaking, you’re trembling
Please don’t forget who you are
Please don’t forget who you are

Give Me a Break
03:56
|
|||
You can’t help but see that
I’m helpless by myself
Capitalize on that
You think I’ve got no one else
Judging books by covers
Only leaves you depressed
I wish I could just tell
You to give it a rest
You give me headaches, headaches
What am I doing here?
You give me headaches, headaches
I’m gonna pick the lock
Don’t try to tell me that it’s all inside my head and I am
Losing my mind because these walls keep on talking to me
I’m stuck, the wallpaper has got me pinned down
You smile and your eyes glint as the door clicks and you disappear
Eye to eye is not an
Option for us two
Tug of war, no one wins
Fake smiles, they leave their bruise
You killed me and sunk me
Down to the ocean floor
Now everyone hates me
And they just love you more
You give me headaches, headaches
What am I doing here?
You give me headaches, headaches
I’m gonna pick the lock
Don’t try to tell me that it’s all inside my head and I am
Losing my mind because these walls keep on talking to me
I’m stuck, the wallpaper has got me pinned down
You smile and your eyes glint as the door clicks and you disappear
Give me a break
Just give me a break
Give me a break
Just give me a break
Cuz all I hear about is you
You don’t care about me
I’m just an excuse to get out
To get away from yourself
Give me a break
Just give me a break
So give me a break
Just give me a break
You give me headaches, headaches
What am I doing here?
You give me headaches, headaches
I’m gonna pick the lock
Don’t try to tell me that it’s all inside my head and I am
Losing my mind because these walls keep on talking to me
I’m stuck, the wallpaper has got me pinned down
You smile and your eyes glint as the door clicks and you disappear
You give me headaches, headaches
You give me headaches, headaches
You give me headaches, headaches
I’m gonna pick the lock
Don’t try to tell me that it’s all inside my head and I am
Losing my mind because these walls keep on talking to me
I’m stuck, the wallpaper has got me pinned down
You smile and your eyes glint as the door clicks and you disappear
You can’t help but see that
I’m helpless by myself

Resurrect
04:12
|
|||
Did y’all come to gawk, or did y’all come to rock?
Writing my whole life, yeah I’m winding down the clock
I’m working to the bone, I don’t think I’ll ever stop
Hold up, scratch that—I’m headed for the top
Came out of the womb singing like it’s made for me,
Scratching on the paper like it’s meant to be,
I thought I reached the end but I’ve pulled something out of me
Ink stains internally and words are erupting.
If you’ve got a dream, you gotta make it routine,
You’ve gotta keep going even if you deplete
This world might be critical and over-analytical
And I know it’s difficult but stop being pitiful
Break down the door or move on, yeah
Break down the door or move on, yeah
There’s nothing you can do when you’ve given your all
You gotta pick yourself up after you fall, yeah
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
My inspiration might be down
But I will never bleed out
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
Try to kill me, I’ll resurrect
One day our punches will connect
There’s no love in this art anymore
Singing is fake and fake out-performs
Rapping is mumbling and songs sound the same
Got a fat bass but the heart is ashamed
We’re all brainwashed, drowning in pop,
Want to make money? Gotta stay on top
Leave for a day and you’ll be replaced
There’s always someone else that can take your place
Hey, but I don’t want to be indispensable
I want to be the needle in the haystack
I don’t want to be famous but I wanna appreciated
In a world where we only want what’s free
Break down the door or move on, yeah
Break down the door or move on, yeah
There’s nothing you can do when you’ve given your all
You gotta pick yourself up after you fall, yeah
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
My inspiration might be down
But I will never bleed out
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
Try to kill me, I’ll resurrect
One day my punches will connect
Give me dark pop, give me hard rock
Give me everything in between, non-stop
Am I too loud? Am I too proud?
If you feel me, then scream out.
Fists in the air we done found another route.
There’s no gate completed that can hold us now
Music is my therapy for when I’m unhappy
But our default emotion should not always be happy
Let me be sad and let me be mad
Just let me process these moment’s I’ve had
Don’t rip out my throat to keep me from screaming
But don’t walk away when you see me bleeding
I’m learning to walk on my own again
I’m learning to trust my instincts again
I found this new confidence it’s setting me free
Because finally I can be me
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
My inspiration might be down
But I will never bleed out
There’s no way I’m ever backing down
There’s no way I’m ever stopping now
Try to kill me, I’ll resurrect
One day my punches will connect
