Can’t Live, Can’t Breathe

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing

The storm above won't affect the city still sleeping The lights are on, but there's no one home; Is there anyone left? Tuck me into bed tonight and let the poison settle inside I sleep in shame; it's another dark and lonely day Pushed to the edge time and time again In this world we live, we lost all control Lost all hope As the city shines so fucking bright There's no life in these streets tonight Still running, no place to go This winter chill will break my bones Send me to sleep on this bed of nails Force me to shut my eyes Standing close enough to watch my skin turn pale Send me to sleep so alone Cut my ties and kill all hope No signs of life left in this burning world Tuck me into bed tonight and let me relive Another miserable moment Rise and fall, live and learn Rise and fall, live and die The world's weight will slowly come to sink us Rise and fall Open the gates and watch this city go up in flames No heart or soul Some people hope for a burning world

Do you feel the world you have left is crumbling Awake till the sun comes up. asleep till the sun goes down Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake Dont try and believe youll live forever I try to scream at you Get ready for a ride with no fucking turning back Look at yourself in the mirror tonight Pail face black eyes Your lips are turning blue Your pulse is now lost forever Things can never be the same again Do you feel your life is crashing down Bet you never been so cold It doesnt get any lower than this Can't Live Can't Breath Defeated, and broken Your future is fucking lost Your Running scared Your falling down with a sickness You can't just burn away at your mistakes Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake Your place here is dead And your future is plauged by a baren past Now fall asleep tonight, Feeling cold, No place to go Now go down with your sinking ship, no ocean left

Bow down Hang your head in shame Hide your face Where you can't be found A quick rise, a quick rise to fame For every bridge burnt, for every bitter taste Fade away 10 years from now, I'll still remember your face 10 years from now, I'll visit your town You cannot hide forever How could this be; touch as nails behind a screen? I smile, watch you fail How could this be; tough as nails? Fade away With an ocean between us I leave reprisal to a later day You faded away I'm the reason why you're never coming back

There's something that I wanted to say for so long I try and speak but the words don't come to me at this very second There's no way of understanding where I'm coming from Just another mistake on this rollercoaster life Hoping to hide in a place without sunlight On the way I hope to find answers of what I want from life You cannot put the color of money in front of pride Just another mistake in this rollercoaster life Lost, so Lost Hopefully I remember the way back to where I came from Hope, all I have is hope Retracing footsteps away from my darkest days In just a few words, fuck you and goodbye! I stumble off into the night No point, sticking around This will never be the same again Just another mistake When everything is unbearable A sombre mood surrounds I ride this train alone Alone into the night

The ride rose so fast you didn't have time to think Wave crashing storms above collide The problem is, hope won't clear this devistation Shadows below circle, you struggle Your lungs fill with guilt Now you've had some time to think While you're sinking The oceans strength will drag you beneath The fact now so clear, the truth is hard to hear Even in water your sweat protrudes How does it feel To tread so far Lost sight of the shore Lost sight of everything How did you let this ocean defeat you? How did it come to this? You're always giving up You've got nothing to show for this Always swimming for your life You're lost in the ocean depths But never finding the shore The ride rose so fast I didn't have time to think Wave crashing storms above collide In every sea treachery There's a killer beneath In every sea treachery Is closer than you think Your life is a shipwreck You're lost in the depths And theres a killer beneath you

Glacklungs no longer breathe the same Now you're choking, drowning in a sea of sudden death Would you have it any other way? Look outside, days polluted Now it's time to face the end With one quick breath It'll spread like a plague It'll take your breath away Hands over eyes Your're blind to the world And it's all gone to hell You can't play dead forever Look outside days polluted Now it's time to face the end With one quick breath It'll spread like a plague So how does it feel? You did this all on your own So how does it feel? You did this alone All on your own You this on your own Some things are unforgettable Some things are unforgivable This plague now takes our breath away Unforgivable! Unforgettable!

I've never been the type To travel on the sea Without at least a pint To keep me company Never in my dreams Did I imagine That a vessel of this nature Existed for our pleasure It's so hard to believe That we will embark And to sail the open seas All the while We will be accompanied By a sense of well-being and a million lagers Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away on this ship of beers The sea is getting rough But we're oblivious To the danger of The savage force Of this tremendous raging beast We're lying down below And dreaming of the land Where the trees are shaped like cans We're wholly confident Of this craft and our inevitable descent Along with the crew and captain I suspect Are sinking down Into a drunken stupor Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away on this ship of beers Something must be wrong The sea is very angry Now it won't be long 'til Davy Jones can claim me Hopefully he'll fell Like a cleansing ale After all he's only human Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away on this ship, on this ship of beers
