The Difference Between Hell and Home
As far back as I can remember The failure was always there It was the only real companion that I have ever had Not meant to live like this Consciousness is nothing more than a vicious cycle And I am being bled dry by my conviction I've spent my life trying to find my confidence And found absolutely nothing Life is a lost cause Too weak to carry on I wish I'd never met who I once was Not meant to live like this Pursuing the love in all that I have lost But I have left myself neglected Deserted from the start Longing for a chance to wander A chance to chase my aspiration When you're devoid of feeling You just do as you're told Hatred is exhausting But it's all I'll ever know

Born of two; raised by four I guess I took it all for granted And only three remain Even though you're wounded I know that you're still here I don't blame you You just can't face the change We spend our golden years as living ghosts Caught in a constant state of purgatory We are only burdened by our memories Until the day they cease to exist And we follow shortly after Although I wonder if at any time Our minds fell upon the same plane I know they did I just wish I had a chance to go back and appreciate it But we'll always have the winter And the snow that got you trapped behind the glass You may be only a shell of the man that you used to be But I love you just the same And I will until the day you're gone I just never know if I'm communicating with you or the disease And even though I curse the idea of an afterlife I still hope you're taken care of You deserve to be at peace Please don't forget my face I won't forget to remember you

Everything ends At least that's what we hope for Plagued by our past And we're doomed to repeat ourselves Afraid of the thoughts that dance in revolutions And circle the mind like a snare Binding me I'm just trying to feel something Cold and stale Searching for warmth inside of every promise wasted You wrap yourself around me But I can only sense your presence You're nothing but a carcass I've never felt more alone than I did on those nights I spent watching you sleep You're the furthest thing from me And you've been there from the start An empty shell You're vacant and it scares me to death One by one I watched them leave me behind like living debris Fortunately, I know that I'm not worth it In my purest form, I was never good enough for anyone Why did I think that this time it'd be different? I came bearing only the beat of my heart And the best of my intentions I tried my hardest but I couldn't make you feel a fucking thing

I live with the awareness of my own seclusion Existence fueled by separation A war I will not win Embracing only alienation To suffer is to abandon the only home I've ever had Outlier I don't belong here The present state of existence acts as a refuge for the weak To shield our eyes is to blind mankind Refusal to secede Inhabiting a world of filth which others have condemned We won't live our lives for them Human hatred is my second nature This is the root of my isolation I am what I am And I am an outcast Don't look for me in the clouds When I am beneath you nowhere to be found Submerged in apathy It's just becoming hard to care And I am nothing I have grown sick of the sound of my own heartbeat And while the whole world breathes in unison My lungs are my shield To reject the world around me I am what I am And I am an outcast

Expose me for all that I am The man behind the masquerade I am my own false witness Fact resides solely in the depths of my mind And will I ever really let it come to surface? You only see what I want you to see And you believe all that you're told Serenity is a beautiful hoax, a liar I have the whole world convinced of my contentment No truth in this I've lost count of all the times I've made it home alive... And wished I hadn't Expose me for all that I am The man behind the masquerade I am my own false witness I'm left to conquer the mountains in my mind And I am my maker Life is what's killing me I hate the fact that I'm just fine Forever seeking anything to take responsibility Life is what's killing me I hate the fact that I'm alive Forever searching for my scapegoat because I refuse to face reality At least I can say I tried to cherish Every single day when I woke up and didn't want to die I'd work my hands to the bone Trying to stay suspended in those specific seconds But I know I'm just counting down the minutes Until I'm miserable again

The grave welcomes you with open arms Last light escapes, last breath remains Circling the body Brushing past the skin and bone It cradles you, your holy manger Born into ruin, we feel withdrawal Death is your procreator, your predecessor From your decay grows a beautiful garden The stalks caress your failure And the petals bring you closer to eternity Pray for your rebirth Pray for your chance to bloom The heart starts and stops The mind disconnects As flowers, we grace the earth with our presence The tide rises and turns And we simply expire Over-saturated Our lungs fill with the essence of the universe Until we feel the gentle kiss of dawn draw the water from our lungs And we can breathe easy Like night and day We have never met aching for one another We aim for congregation You are my prey You are the martyr The blight takes its toll and our bodies grow black Wilted, we fade away rotted from the root We exchange our stems for legs We blossom into our bodies And the process has been reset Welcome to your new home Wilted, we fade away rotted from the root We exchange our stems for legs We blossom into our bodies And the process has been reset Welcome to your new home Welcome to your new home

The weight came and went and took my will to live Spoiled by defeat, forced to drown in what's left of me That's when breathing became routine And I could feel myself fading I am stranded No direction, I am a compass Constantly spinning Constantly searching for the end Never reaching our destination But the goal was never when Or where Or who... It was only you I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there You promised you'd never let me go But I don't know what I believe anymore Affection allowed me to let the light in The fear made me whole again Help me rebuild my broken bones Help me regain my sanity But with caution always present Our pasts manifest themselves And we act as if this is what we deserve But I refuse to fail again I'd force my ghost to write your name in the flowers on my grave I watched the world give up on me I used to spend my nights praying for air in my bloodstream Now I long to feel your breath pass throughout my arteries The goal was never when Or where Or who... It was only you I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there You promised you'd never let me go But I don't know what I believe anymore Fill me with your faith and let me leave I'm scratching at my skin to take my mind Off the absence we've created The lines blur together like the veins in my arms And I wish I wasn't so alone You are the difference between hell and home

I am more than familiar with feeling empty The conduit, I allow myself to drain My mind is the trench in which I will be buried Watch me wither away Put me out of my misery I can only find solace in sleep A sub-conscious sanctuary I am longing to be set free Yet I am the one who holds the key I am the one who holds the key A lifetime spent trying to place the blame On anyone or anything This is not who I am I am not who I used to be Set me free

We ache to be transparent We run from the "open" arms; The facade of something greater than ourselves And we're left to coexist with infestation Our history is cursed Through the past, present, and future If we're created in his image Then his image is disgusting... And even he can't wipe you clean How can someone see so far ahead While they're spending every day on their knees? Is the view from above really worth all of the judgement passed? The fear, the lies, and the manipulation? A doctrine bathed in ignorance And written in the blood of the enslaved And I have never lost my faith I just never had any to begin with I would sooner die for my sins Than pray for my forgiveness Sew my palms together And crucify the thoughts in my mind Awaiting Armageddon Neglecting to exorcise the demons in your head You're "born again" But you're better off dead Conversion or a casualty Renounce and save yourself Is the view from Heaven really worth all of the judgement passed? The pestilence that you've inflicted And the souls of all the loved ones that we've lost? We are the sheep that rose against the shepherd We are the ones you led astray Embrace the light in your heart Not the one in the sky Saints and sinners rejoice We will all rot together

If I allow the light to leave my eyes Then I will never see again The thoughts disintegrate into cognitive pollution Abandoning my body, renouncing my existence Show me the meaning of happiness Trapped inside this nightmare But I haven't slept for days I am a slave A slave to what I cannot see Are we being strung along or have I just strung out? The quest to be clairvoyant: You are your own black hole But how much longer do I really have When I wish every breath would be my last? Your words like rope Tied around my throat Remove the earth beneath me Watch my spirit sink

Tragedy is all we have in common And at times we allow it to swallow us whole Drawing the marrow from our misfortunes To ignite the fire that's inside Inhale the smoke from the burn that leaves you breathless Breathing life into the lifeless Dragging them into the sun and exposing them as apparitions Is there dignity in living life as an entity? "You could have made history and we are already forgetting about you" Humanity is poison And we are lost without a cure So stop your heart and start the healing process I am not fit to walk among you But I don't want to end my life Just know that if I knew of any common ground I'd leave here now And I would find a home that I could die in Just to say I tried to rest in peace Erase me from your memory The ones we love will let us down And the rats will feed off our failure Eventually, this is something we must accept The world moves on without us We leave only footprints that fade away in time Walk with fire and save yourself from vagrancy We leave our spirits to retrace our steps You are your own memorial Find your mark and make it The soil is the last thing that we ingest We watch our ashes scatter You are your own memorial Find your mark and make it
