The Way It Ends

I thought of reaching out, we could take this slow Hesitation turned to habit, never made the call No branch to break my fall I'd have so much to tell you, but I Drink 'til I can't blink And I fill my brain with holes My voice is worse for wear Because I lost my self-control, I've lost my hope I've lost my hope (I've lost my hope) Now I don't wanna say I'm scared 'Cause I don't want you to think That this life I slave away for Is what brings an end to me But now I'm walking through my life with a clenched up fist Holding back the tears and feelings that I never spent I try to find a purpose or a path to set But I've only found the void, and so I Drink 'til I can't blink And I fill my brain with holes Because the place that I feel safest It was never there, never there at all

How much more do you think it takes? They're only here to sell you lies, it’s no surprise 'Cause every day I've been waiting for some kind of break Searching for permanence A place that I can go to make me whole But the shadows keep whispering to me But the shadows keep whispering to me I’m always waiting for the tide to crash through me I tremble with every wave Make me whole again If I let go, could I still trust you to be better on your own? If I let you stay, you will ruin everything You're making me hate a world so good to me If I let you stay, you will ruin everything When even good times are bittersweet And though at times it seems like a nightmare on repeat All you have to do is breathe and know that This is our home now, you and I will never be alone When you fall down, take my hand, don't let me go This is our home now, you and I will never be alone When you fall down, I am yours to hold I'm always waiting for the tide to crash through me I tremble with every wave Make me whole again If I let go, could I still trust you to be better on your own? If I let you stay, you will ruin everything You're making me hate a world so good to me If I let you stay, you will ruin everything The loneliest dreams appear in open air With the sun in my face The loneliest dreams I have appear when I'm awake With a smile on my face, I live to kill the ache

Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face Just let it go You say I'm like a ghost My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home, oh I scream like it would stop the ache Your colors start to show (Show) I know what I have to do, but it kills me Rewriting all the songs I'd change your name, but I know you'll still take everything to heart Just let it go I wonder if we'll die with hope Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go I just wanted you to have a better life (I just wanted you to have a better life) Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside I, I could set you free I put you on a shelf knowing that I'd be Too far to reach you from down in Hell The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams To the best of my ability, so just let me leave I scream like it would stop the ache Your colors start to show (Show) I know what I have to do, but it kills me Sleep; if anything, I'll dream It's only then I'll have you I know what I have to do, but it kills me

We stand upon a travesty, at the mouth of the gods Holding our hands out for affirmation Peering over the edge with our back to the wind We're screaming out for release into the emptiness Swept away beneath the undertow Laid to waste by our mistakes Conspiring, we blur the line Between dependence and blind addiction Permeating everyday monotony Left to bear a crutch of complacency I don't fuck with fate Everything is crashing around me But I don't feel pain I've given up Now we have finally reached the reckoning So now I wait for the day that we give up our place Only the void remains Welcome to eternity All hope swept out of my hands There's nothing you can take from me No future waits An origin erased Bottled up and useless, broken and insatiable Cover up our weakness, existence unsustainable Staring down devastation, I will welcome the end If only for the chance to feel again I curse this Earth for my soul is tired Burning brighter, burning brighter, burning brighter on the fire Curse this Earth, my soul is tired Burning brighter, burning brighter, burning brighter on the fire Now we have finally reached the reckoning So now I wait for the day that we give up our place Only the void remains Welcome to eternity All hope swept out of my hands There's nothing you can take from me No future waits An origin erased We're dying in the storm While our world lays burning Beneath the embers, we choke We're nothing but a memory A bed of atrophy A resting place And though the rain grows heavy Our tears will never dull the flames

Well, I've found in my search for clarity That nothing I've lost belongs to me I'll never take the fall or crawl on my knees For this dread, I won't let consume my dreams Will we ever find the art in the atrophy? Shame painted on the walls, etched in the stone Cold face of me dying alone There is nothing worth the wait For peace, I'm always counting Every second I don't break Do you even care? I'm split in my head I'm torn between the things I know and the ways I cope I'm sinking again With the thought you need to grow, but you know you won't In and out, playing tricks on my shadow self You said that I can't be a quitter Spilling lies under the guise of getting better Yeah, I'm "getting better", never better balanced I'm starting to crack images Nailed to the cross and eulogies For the fallen hope that withers every second I believe Come to find that some things are exactly as they seem I'm split in my head I'm torn between the things I know and the ways I cope I'm sinking again With the thought you need to grow, but you know you won't It's hard to see compassion through the red Bitter hate has taken center stage again But I'm not done fighting with the world I'm in Are you sick of it yet, all this pity?

All alone inside my head All alone inside my head To escape the thought of loneliness is to resist There's no point to refuse this Crawling toward something serious I'm not trying to push you, I'm just too distant Is this who you are? 'Cause it's not who I am You can't make me change I'm just a shell with no substance Now I know that I'm all alone And nobody will come to save me This is how, how I fall apart All alone with these nightmares in my head In time the walls surround me Decrepit fixtures on the shelf all fade from my memory Trembling behind the mask Devoid of anything resembling humanity Always under pressure, I dissolve Void in my vacancy Buried underneath it all In silence, I sink Now I know that I'm all alone And nobody will come to save me This is how, how I fall apart All alone with these nightmares in my head All alone inside my head All alone inside my head I can't give myself to you further For everything's so meaningless to me I'll rip out your heart 'cause that's all I'm good for I can't be your shepherd if I'm lost Now I know that I'm all alone And nobody will come to save me This is how, how I fall apart All alone with these nightmares in my head Now I know that I'm all alone And nobody will come to save me Now I know that I'm all alone All alone with these nightmares in my head

Do you ever want to waste away Recounting better times? I'm with you Is this all we have left to live with? I only wanna get by So with that, I don't mind getting by Reliving moments lived 'til my last breath Do you get it? Suffocating, can't breathe, but you've got a fucking mouth to feed Never made the effort to change or go out of our way You follow your sorrows For better days we've waited for how long, how long? You follow your sorrows We spiral downward endlessly But is the bottom where we're meant to be? Is anybody listening? Can anybody tell me why I can't get up? Why can't I get up? Down on my knees as the world comes falling down My fear chained to the ground for my will is weak And my state is bleak But I'm bound to break free Pride running through my veins My chains lay flat around me My chains lay flat around me How long do we endure the pain? How long 'til we accept? You follow your sorrows For better days we've waited for how long, how long? You follow your sorrows We spiral downward endlessly But is the bottom where we're meant to be? This isn't where we're meant to be We spiral endlessly You follow your sorrows (Do you get it?) For better days we've waited for how long, how long? (Suffocating, can't breathe, but you've got a fucking mouth to feed) (Never made the effort to change or go out of our way) You follow your sorrows (Is anybody listening? Are you listening?) We spiral downward endlessly But is the bottom where we're meant to be?
