Do you wanna shine? Like a diamond in a coal mine I can feel me breakin under the pressure I gotta keep my life together Losing grip on my reality Everything that lies in front of me All that I love has slowly turned to dust The sad reality of broken trust So let's get back to what we used to be When we were young and we felt so care free I watch my innocence slip away from me Trust me life is not so free and I've been Lost in a memory I feel lost and all alone I'm on my own Can we save this life we've made Break the chain before it pulls you down with me I need to find my sanity The weight of the world is crushing me As the seconds lapse, I feel my world collapse Eyes set to kill, all the demons that you helped to build I feel myself seperate from reality With the all the pain inside of me, I start to disagree With the ones I love, the ones who stood so tough Stood by me even when I knew I had enough The path of life teaches lessons that are hard to learn When it's easier to watch you crash and burn Remember when we used to flourish Remember when as kids we'd play What happened to the kid so nourished Now everyone has turned to gray Trust me life is not so free and I've been Lost in a memory I feel lost and all alone I'm on my own Can we save this life we've made Break the chain before it pulls you down with me I need to find my sanity The weight of the world is crushing me I fall sometimes but I stagger to my feet My life ain't useless I fight to prove it And all that I wanna be I come alive in the face of adversity My life has purpose and I deserve it And all that I wanna be (I won't turn to gray) Trust me life is not so free and I've been Lost in a memory I feel lost and all alone I'm on my own Can we save this life we've made Break the chain before it pulls you down with me I need to find my sanity The weight of the world is crushing me Trust me life is not so free and I've been Lost in a memory I feel lost and all alone The weight of the world is crushing me

Blink and I'll explode, I'm just the type Perverted loneliness defined I'm not obsessed, far worse, I'm fine And pain is unavoidable at times But if it gets shit off your mind I understand, that's kind of why I'm here, right? Yeah Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Shame, I'm just a tiny parasite But I will eat you up alive All of your tenderness, the flies swarm 'round Do you really crave a life? (That's not beholden to me) I didn't mean to burden you with love in my condition Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Horrified, swallowing your perfume Why won't you save me? You and I are blood and wine Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Every time Every time Dead right

For more or less For better or for worse Slam the door, a window flies open Feel the contours of my words I am bruised but not broken For better or for worse For more or less Don't look backwards Don't look forwards Mom has been my compass Has been my compass I call you from the crossroads Come and be good to me And treat me right Who knows the direction the winds will blow? Come and kiss me softly in this hard life Whisper sweet things and just let go And just let go And just let me go And just let go And just let go And just let go Come and be good to me And treat me right Who knows the direction winds will blow? Winds will blow Don't look forwards Don't look forwards And just let me go For better or for worse More or less Don't look backward and don't look forwards Mom has been my compass Has been my compass I call you, I call you from the crossroads Come and be good to me Treat me right Who knows the direction winds will blow? Come and kiss me softly in this hard life Whisper sweet things and just let me go

I don't love you anymore It's been a while and I am sure You left me for another girl You left me in a broken world You left me lying in the street You left me without body heat I curled into rust My body turned into dust I couldn't get out of the hole I was so lonely, all alone When the phone rang, I wasn't there When my parents called, I just sat and stared I went to sleep Hoped that my life I could cheat Take me off the face of this lonely world Let me turn and turn in your love It's been a while And I don't love you anymore You walked away from me Out of the blue and you were free I was such a fool I gave more to keep things cool But if you showed up at my door This is what I'd implore I don't love you anymore I don't love you anymore You left me in a cage My only defense was rage

How did I become The mother of this son? The face and mind And hands of virulence? I, who curled in cave and moss I, who gathered wood for fire And tenderly embraced How did I become a virus? Hopelessness I feel the hopelessness I don't care about me I feel the animals and the trees They got nowhere to go I don't care much about you I don't give a shit what happens to you Now we blew it all away Hopelessness I feel the hopelessness How did I become a virus? I've been taking more than I deserve Leaving nothing in reserve Digging till the bank runs dry I've been living a lie
