Power : Pain

Reach within yourself
Pull out the pieces that you hate
Rip through the shell
Take the pain
Make it all fade away
Crushing sadness overwhelms me with pain
What brought me power & pleasure is only leaving me drained
I need to change but I’m stuck in my ways
I cycle through depression and aggression
It’s the darkest of days
I need to climb inside my mind and hide
I built my walls so high they’d crush me if they all came crashing down
Beating me into the ground
I knew death was my way out
No one was saving me
Gods are all dead, heroes have fled, My wounds won’t be mended
But I’m not dead yet
Power & pain
Im picking my scabs again
Opening up for you
Reach within yourself
Pull out the pieces you hate
Rip through the shell
Take the pain
Make it all fade away
I refuse to live my life feeling weak
It’s sink or swim and I’ve been dragged away to drown in the deep
In the dark I found the strength to fight by shedding my fear
I thought my demons would kill me
But I’m the only one here
Climb inside my mind and hide
I find my power in pain
You will remember my name

No trust
No hope
No love
I am nothing to no one
If i die before this records released
Don’t hold your head or shed a tear
I’ll be resting in peace
& if I don’t
I’m still fighting, I don’t know how to quit
I’m just tired and sick
Of this temporary bullshit
My people die in the cold
This is a war for your soul
& It will swallow you whole
It’s more than I can control
It’s either death or parole
& life has taken it’s toll on me
Misery
What the fuck has become of me
Deliver me
Put an end to my suffering
I’m nothing to you
I’m just a face you’ll forget
Another name in your head
Just a stranger
A person you met
If you could look in my eyes
You’d see the depth of my pain
I couldn’t hide it
My grief is spilling off every page
I couldn’t keep it contained
Or drain the pain from my veins
It ate away and my brain
Until my psyche decayed
I put a gun to my head
When all I wanted was love
I never wanted to die
But nothing here was enough
If I were dead you’d flock to see me
Say you need me & you’d cry
But it’s a lie
You’re all absent now
While I’m still alive
Ive been beaten and abandoned
By the ones that should have showed me the way
Now I’m lost here & stranded
& This is where the world will force to stay
Because I’m nothing
Nothing to no one
No trust
No hope
No love
I am nothing to no one

I push the pain to the back of my mind
But I can’t hide the hurt in my eyes
I’m always depressed
My past is repressed
& I break when it’s mentioned
I try to live out my miserable life
Dying to feel alive
But I cant accept
The scars I collect
From being left by the wayside
I thought I told you love was never enough
It always withers and rusts
No one gives a fuck about us
But they’ll tell me that it’s all just in my head
Then I’ll turn around and be alone again
I’m sick of plastic people using and abusing me
Cos they aren’t here to see the other side of suffering
Empty
I think of all of the times that I’ve tried
& How it all meant nothing
I’m so stupid for believing the lies
& Wasting years of my time
It’ll all been so mind numbing that I just want to die
Because I cant change shit
My hand has been dealt
I’m on the other side of suffering where everything’s felt
No chance to prosper
I’m forced to live with the pain
Of watching everything I love be killed and taken away from me
Life left me so empty and cold
Exploit my weakness
Laughing as the rot consumes my soul
Empty
Deplete me
Defeat me
Death is freedom
From a lifetime of bullshit
Empty
I just want to die

When I’m alone I break
I grit my teeth & shake
It’s more than I can take
The pain I’m forced to face
Free me from this fucking place
I can’t take the way I’m feeling today
I got a lot I could say
But no one ever listens anyway
Since I remember I was sick & afraid
Depressed, on edge, & ashamed
Out on a ledge and nothing ever changed
Every seconds like I’m walking on glass
Its an impossible task
I wear a mask so no one ever asks
How I’m feeling, if I’m doing okay
Nobody’s hearing my claims
They close their eyes or look the other way
Separate from the pain that I perpetuate
Concentrate on everything I loved but learned to hate
Its more than I can take, reality’s too much to face
When I’m alone I break, Free me from this fucking place
Misery controls me
Why won’t you console me?
No one here to hold me
Life has left me lonely
I’m nothing more than just a ghost of the past
A string of memories collected scattered out like the ashes
Of every person that I’ve loved and lost too young or too fast
So every night I kneel & pray just to ask;
Let me forget about everything
I’d give anything
To feel nothing at all
I fell victim to the self seeking
People I thought were well meaning
I don’t know where it all went wrong
It’s gone on far too long
I can’t shake the way I’m feeling today
I got a lot I could say
But no one ever listens anyway
Since I remember I was sick & afraid
Depressed, on edge, & ashamed
Out on a ledge and nothing ever changed
So I just want to forget
But can’t forgive shit
Ball me up and fucking throw me away
Cos no one stays
Nothing’s changed
Guess it doesn’t matter anyway
If it did I wouldn’t be in this place
With these suicidal thoughts and a mask on my face
All I know is despite my persistence
From my perspective every angle of this pictures warped & twisted
I fought so hard to survive, I’m alive, but just existing while I wait to die
It’s time to say goodbye
So fucking say goodbye to me
