Speak from your heart Go

A destructive path, it's the aftermath Of a life of broken mirrors Here, a toxic man with a poisoned past Bears his soul, shows his tremors The lights are on but no one's home Guardians guide his soul, carry him home From gutter to gutter He found there was more to discover Lights, dreams The city never sleeps From gutter to gutter He found so much more to uncover Lights, dreams The daylight brings him to his knees In the wake of falling ashes The lights are on but no one's home Guardians guide his soul, carry him home Bury his soul (Falling ashes, falling ashes, falling ashes) Guardians guide him home, bury his soul Falling ashes

I can't breathe, and I'm terrified of falling asleep To meet the shadows that've been haunting my dreams A reflection of all that I am for all to see (Shed my skin, for all to see, shed my skin) I want to drown my lungs in plastic I want to fill this gaping hole And when it all comes back to haunt me I want the pain to take its toll Another trophy for the hall of regrets Another night to forget (Another night to forget) Another consequence of actions repressed Waking up in sweats Mend me. Make me proud. Motivate me Bend me. Break me down. Suffocate me Take all of it. Take all of me Shed my skin. Take me from my home I give all I am. I give all I own Shed my skin. Steal my heart again Take from me my bones Cast me down into the depths of depravity Cast out to where the wanderers roam Praised by the angels of tragedy Loathed by the demons of hope Take all of it, everything I own (everything I own) Take all of it, come and steal my soul Shed my skin. Take me from my home I give all I am. I give all I own Shed my skin. Steal my heart again Take from me my bones Take from me my bones Take from me my bones Take from me my bones Take from me my bones

Come drown with me. Play back these moments in our dreams. Rewind and repeat. Rewind and repeat. Sink down with me. Come be swept up in memory. Let your spirit be taken by seas. Let your lungs become wings. Lost in the surge of the waves. Relief still feels fathoms away. Your slumber awaits for you to come claim. Take my hand, don’t be scared. Drown with me if you can. Like we’re sand, like we’re stones in the water. Drown with me if you can. So take my hand and drown with me. Don’t fear the oceans of change, These waters waiting an age are so much wiser than words can explain. Don’t fear the oceans of change, for they have spoken your name. They have known you from long since before you came. Your bed awaits for you to claim. Take my hand, don’t be scared. Drown with me if you can. Like we’re sand, like we’re stones in the water. Drown with me if you can. Let your spirit be taken by seas. Let your lungs become wings. Sink down with me, come be swept up in memory. Let your spirit be taken by seas. So take my hand and drown with me. Drown with me.

Soul decay You cry yourself an ocean And corrode your empty heart You break what isn't broken Then pretend to fall apart So now you're smiling ear to ear So proud to be wasted, down and out Until you face your fears You'll never find yourself I watched you fall from grace I watched your soul decay You play the perfect victim You built yourself this prison Your soul decay Buried in bad decisions But they're all self inflicted You bare the blame (You bare the blame) Soul decay You speak what isn't spoken To fill your empty heart Reading into every omen Like you were doomed from the start Now you're smiling ear to ear So proud to be wasted, down and out Until you face your fears You'll never find yourself You play the perfect victim You built yourself this prison Your soul decay Buried in bad decisions But they're all self inflicted You bare the blame (You bare the blame) I watched you fall from grace You built yourself this prison Tear it down Burn it to the fucking ground Burn it to the fucking ground You play the perfect victim You built yourself this prison Your soul decay Buried in bad decisions But they're all self inflicted You bare the blame (You bare the blame) Soul decay Soul decay

You dug an empty grave And engraved your name In the halls of rag and bone Such a befitting place For your bones to lay In cardboard catacombs You won't be missed. Not by your friends Not with that bullshit you said You won't be missed. You've made your bed Go lay down and pray for the best Have worms feast inside your head Just to find that no one cares Egregious, facetious, deceptive snake Dishonest, I'm speechless. You fucking fake Fake your own death (You fucking) Fake your own death Egregious, facetious, deceptive snake Dishonest, I'm speechless. You fucking fake Fake your own death You fucking fake your own death (Spineless, spineless) Fuck I'm welling up to the brim with disgust The book has closed on our broken trust I want to watch you self destruct I want to watch you self destruct Spineless, spineless You're a spineless fucking worm Have worms feast inside your head Just to find that no one cares Egregious, facetious, deceptive snake Dishonest, I'm speechless. You fucking fake Fake your own death (You fucking) Fake your own death Egregious, facetious, deceptive snake Dishonest, I'm speechless. You fucking fake Fake your own death Fake your own death Spineless You're a spineless fucking worm Spineless You're a spineless fucking worm

Through a combination of alcohol And the chemicals you'd consumed Laid a broken path before a stoic man The stars became your roof So be proud. Be proud This is your big debut kid So be proud. Be proud You've got a crowd to see you through this Set the stage Displayed you laid there cold Then came the eulogies I thought you'd like to know You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared 'til you're gone Be proud. Be proud This is your big debut kid So be proud. Be proud We got a crowd to see you through this They found you face down on the floor You were somebody else the night before Another slip up. Another fall You'd be searching your soul for something more Fuck Another slip up. Another fall You'd be searching your soul for something more You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared 'til you're gone The funeral was in full bloom You always knew how to fill a room The funeral was in full bloom To send you home And while the crowd remained composed They put a trophy on your stone I guess you found a place to rest those bones And while the crowd remained composed They put your crown upon your throne I guess you found a place to rest those bones You barely knew us You were out of touch Out of touch for so long You filled the room up And none of us Knew we cared 'til you're gone And everyone came in colours And everyone came in colours

You're so certain That you're tired of chasing ghosts I'm such a burden A parasite destroys its host I'm so toxic. I'm so hurtful Who am I to be saved? Maybe it's the medicine Or maybe it's the state I'm in Come save me from myself again But you'd stay away if you know what's best I'm not a person Just a lump inside your throat I'm so self-serving You've been warned don't get too close I'm so toxic. I'm so hurtful Who am I to be saved? Maybe it's the medicine Or maybe it's the state I'm in Come save me from myself again But you'd stay away if you know what's best Maybe it's the medicine Or maybe it's the state I'm in A toast to you You always know what's best Maybe it's the medicine Or maybe it's the state I'm in Come save me from myself again But you'd stay away if you know what's best Maybe it's the medicine Or maybe it's the state I'm in Come save me from myself again But you'd stay away if you know what's best
