Dark Waters

like treading water
with mouths full of sand
all alone, as i cry out
crushed by weight
and waves of despair
simple life, turns upside down
so it begins
true panic sets in
waters run deep, is this where it ends
i gasp at air
breathing in fear
no one to hear, don't fuckin' sink
dawn a new day
time slips away
these waters are rough
keep on swimming
in over my head
battered with dread
these waters are rough
keep on swimming
taken prisoner
of body and mind
waters are high, i'm going down
shell of myself
light trapped inside
current is strong, how will i rise
darkness sets in
can’t comprehend
in over my head, drowning begins
slow death creeps in
is this the end?
new day begins, don’t sink
im so afraid
im so afraid
im so afraid
so afraid as i cry out
can't explain this life now
im so afraid
im so afraid
im so afraid
dawns a new day
time slips away
these waters are rough
keep on swimming
in over my head
battered with dread
these waters are rough
keep on swimming

Longest Days

into the void now
i cannot escape
been to long
alone with my thoughts
white noise surrounds
renders me nearly deaf
static and still
this life becomes suspect
alone and empty
all seems so worthless
idle and vain
once filled with promise
lulled to sleep
as this suspicion reigns
a pair of closed eyes
seem to silence pain
these four walls
have become my world
alone in thought
is this prison or death
these days go
as the hours grow
how long has it been
since i've felt the…
these four walls
have become my world
alone in thought
is this prison or death
Death
is this prison or death
Death
it’s lights out
and i feign sleep
how long has it been
since ive seen the sun
silently i sing
a constant refrain
of failures
panic instilled
my mind starts to race
fear over facts
paints the vast space
pacing the floor
boxed in with locked doors
weapons as words
quell and quiet the heard
barriers and mass
bend to false facts
feeling alone
leads to selfish acts
feeling alone
leads to selfish acts
my thoughts race
i search for an exit
how long can this go on
is this really
my existence

the darkness inside
it rears its ugly head
the abscence of light
it’s lurking deep inside
keep pushing it down
keep pushing it down
it’s rising up again
i’ll fight it tooth and nail
this evil spirited devils not your friend
shattered and struggling to finally catch my breath
the mind is a dangerous place, so try not to regress
sleeplessness and suffering there will be no rest
when it’s all said and done my inner strength, it will win
relish it
relish it
relish it
you’re barely cheating death
self hatred unites
to take me down again
imprisoned by my mind
within a war i can never win
can’t push it away
can’t push it away
it’s rising up again
bear witness to my failures
anxiety it wont spell my end
shattered and struggling to finally catch my breath
the mind is a dangerous place, so try not to regress
sleeplessness and suffering there will be no rest
when it’s all said and done my inner strength, it will win
cherish it
cherish it
cherish it
you've got a second chance
darkness in me
darkness in everyone
i won't let it use me

Timid Choke

this curse
this curse of self
it cuts my will
time slips slowly by
stagnant and still
shattered self lies
at full collapse
depressed anxious
how will i last
with longing distain
all for what?
what will remain
with longing distain
all for what?
what will remain
alone and deprived
can't collect my thoughts
just breathe to survive
barely alive
not without faults
no will to survive
alone and deprived
can't collect my thoughts
just breathe to survive
barely alive
not without faults
no will to survive
not without fault
no will to survive
shallow husk
that houses my soul
bloodied and beat
wreckage grows old
walls of sadness
like moths to flame
repress regress
all seems in vain
exhausted and weak
living in fear
unable to speak
