Desolate Divine

Cashing in on rainchecks, I live Withdrawn from surroundings I’m trying to feel, but it’s not very rich Nothing stays golden Yesterday is in the past But tomorrow I don’t see coming We have a gift, a new today But I’m so sick of the present This is the end of what we used to know I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive? I'm living safe as a lonesome soul But I’m dying to feel so much less alone I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing As heavy hearted as a feather with no wind Broken-hearted Moving in circles Like an angel with one wing Yesterday is in the past But tomorrow I don’t see coming We have a gift, a new today But I’m so sick of the present This is the end of what we used to know I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive? I'm living safe as a lonesome soul But I’m dying to feel so much less alone I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing I’m still there, walls surrounding me I’m still there with bricks others have thrown This is the end of what we used to know I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive? I'm living safe as a lonesome soul But I’m dying to feel so much less alone This is the end of what we used to know I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive? I'm living safe as a lonesome soul But I’m dying to feel so much less alone This is the end of what we used to know I’m breathing just fine, but am I alive? I'm living safe as a lonesome soul But I’m dying to feel so much less alone I’m reaching out but I’m feeling nothing Reaching out but I'm feeling nothing

Floating on like a plastic bag without a home Pages folded became paper planes that we could fly We’ve clipped every wing we used to fly Your wings might be broken but it’s not too late You hide your emotions so you can escape You can't be afraid to make mistakes And you can’t fake perfection Broken compass still moving forward A constant north, the one I’ll never know Like everything I gravitate to what ends up killing me We’re separated by a hell of a lot more than the sky Your wings might be broken but it’s not too late You hide your emotions so you can escape You can't be afraid to make mistakes And you can’t fake perfection It’s not what you’ve done But what you’ll choose to do It’s not what you’ve done But what you’ll choose to do Your wings might be broken but it’s not too late You hide your emotions so you can escape You can't be afraid to make mistakes And you can’t fake perfection

I feel at home with shadows from ghosts of the living I dance along to melodies as silent choirs sing I’m sick of always giving when there’s nothing left to lose This place we’re in is breaking, it’s trying to break me too I built these walls to keep the outside world from me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It’s safer on the inside Underneath where you can’t ever get to me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Chaos reigns inside of all of us All this pain, it’s not where I belong It’s not my fate and you’re a hypocrite You’re the dying proof of it, now I know Broken people just like you can be so dangerous Knowing you’ll survive by feeding off the rest of us I built these walls to keep the outside world from me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It’s safer on the inside Underneath where you can’t ever get to me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside It's safer on the inside It's safer on the inside I built these walls to keep the outside world from me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It’s safer on the inside, it's safer on the inside Underneath where you can’t ever get to me And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind It's safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside Built these walls, it’s safer on the inside

There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home And nothing feels as cold inside as heaven down below I've been lost and never found, afraid to speak the truth out loud With empty hands I came into this world, I'll leave just the same Death, you cannot take me, you've tried and failed before With everything so deafening, each breath worth fighting for I refuse to be your casualty 'cause pain has its reward No longer trapped in agony, you cannot take me, I survive the storm Is hell a place or just a word, because as far as I can see They both feel like one in the same, so which do I believe? Some days we feel everything and others not at all Do I cave beneath the weight or rise above it all? Death, you cannot take me, you've tried and failed before With everything so deafening, each breath worth fighting for I refuse to be your casualty 'cause pain has its reward No longer trapped in agony, you cannot take me, I survive the storm Maybe that's the hell I'm living Battles between where I'm numb or I'm feeling Remember when we filled our lives With the will to fucking live Death, you cannot take me, you've tried and failed before With everything so deafening, each breath worth fighting for I refuse to be your casualty 'cause pain has its reward No longer trapped in agony, you cannot take me, I survive the storm There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

You're the one who started this, now it's time to finish it Don't become something you despised when you started I can feel it in my bones, feel it in the air tonight Starting arguments with the ghosts of people still alive I knew exactly what you wanted, I pretend to want the same Another reason that I'm haunted by what could have been I feel dead in myself and I can't feel alive in anyone else If it made you hurt, made you feel so much It must be love that I gave up What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be? I know I'm still broken because I can't fix myself with somebody else that's breaking Whether you believe you can or can't change I guess that you'll be right either way The dark can't keep hiding in darkness It's gotten harder to see If it made you hurt, made you feel so much It must be love that I gave up What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be? I know I'm still broken because I can't fix myself with somebody else that's breaking What if we could just escape from our situations? Out of our heads, let our hearts do the heavy lifting What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be? What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be? What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be? I know I'm still broken because I can't fix myself with somebody else that's breaking What if we could just escape from our situations? Out of our heads, let our hearts do the heavy lifting What if this version of me Gave up today on who it could be?

On my own, let's face it, that's all I ever known What's left to show, that I can break a foundation as quickly as it poured? But I still believe in things I've never seen It's bittersweet being homesick for places that don't exist to me Can we be honest to each other so I can tell the truth myself? We've all tried to please the world from inside our hollow shell The safest arms are not my own I can't carry the weight of what I can't even hold Can we be honest to each other so I can tell the truth myself? We've all tried to please the world from inside our hollow shell I'm not satisfied with happiness, not satisfied with hell Can we be honest to each other? I'm not happy here with myself "Counting down the hours till the sun comes up again, a repeat of the yesterday that I'm stuck within. Maybe I need urgency, maybe medicine, it's a hard pill to swallow when you feel like a raindrop in an ocean." Can we be honest to each other so I can tell the truth myself? We've all tried to please the world from inside our hollow shell I'm not satisfied with happiness, not satisfied with hell Can we be honest to each other? I'm not happy here with myself

Forget about yesterday, it's moved on from you Live without the doubt that just won't go away We've all stood at the edge, contemplated jumping A leap of fear, loss of faith, we can't go You see a face you think you know But it's not the one I show I feel more, more at home In the places I don't know I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me? It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all I can't feel at all I find myself back here again But I'm not empty-handed I'm not leaving, I'm not done, I'm not the kind that would run Being lost is a lovely place to find yourself again You see a face you think you know But it's not the one I show I feel more, more at home In the places I don't know I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me? It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all I owe another shot to the world It took a shot at me and missed I owe another chance to myself Take me back to the beginning We all come from something I don't belong to my mistakes, tired of sleeping wide awake It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely Even when I crawl I drag my feet, when did the world take hold of me? It's killing me slowly, it's crowded and lonely, I can't feel at all I can't feel at all

I recognize that smell, it's heaven scent It reminds me of bridges I've been burning I have been abusing things and I am using Every excuse to leave, but I just want you to stay And I want to say goodbye, but in my head I said goodnight I always find a way to mess up good things in my life Close your eyes on the chapter and this night I know you've tried to read me, but I threw that page away Maybe if we could just start over Go back to when we were just perfect strangers I could reintroduce myself As someone I'm a hell of a lot more happy with And I want to say goodbye, but in my head I said goodnight I'll always find a way to mess up good things in my life Close your eyes on the chapter and this night I know you've tried to read me, but I threw that page away Are these the saddest stories Because they're told the most? Let's keep it at goodnight I always find a way to mess up good things in my life Close your eyes on the chapter and this night I know you've tried to read me, but I threw that page away Close your eyes, say goodnight Close your eyes, say goodnight

At the rate things are going, it's getting hard to breathe And if I don't leave soon, this will be the death of me Another chapter of my life I keep keeping myself from sharing You're the compass I still follow, there's no gravity I'm like a broken vessel, but I didn't sink in the sea I'm drowning now 'cause I let you inside of me I wanna feel the fire again, fire again The flame is gone and all I want is the fire again, fire again The most beautiful hell I've ever seen Suffocating here on dry land While you're somewhere pushing somebody else in I bought in, you were oh so deep But I won't dive again I'm like a broken vessel, but I didn't sink in the sea I'm drowning now 'cause I let you inside of me I wanna feel the fire again, fire again The flame is gone and all I want is the fire again, fire again The most beautiful hell I've ever seen I wanna feel the fire again The most beautiful hell I've ever been I'm like a broken vessel, but I didn't sink in the sea I'm drowning now 'cause I let you inside of me

There are things that I'm dying to tell you About things that are killing me to say I know that I don't want to lose you But we both know I'll push you away Fauxtographic memory, a mind that's still developing I turn my back on all I see cause everything feels make believe You tried to stay, I made you leave and made the world give up on me I can't accept reality cause everything feels make believe I keep swallowing the hell so you don't stomach it From what it's like to be around someone that lives like this I keep losing sleep in beds still made from soaking sheets And I'm still haunted by the ghosts of people still breathing I already hate the words, they're not a thing we even share Stop looking for a metaphor, it isn't there Fauxtographic memory, a mind that's still developing I turn my back on all I see cause everything feels make believe You tried to stay, I made you leave and made the world give up on me I can't accept reality cause everything feels make believe You're wasting away You'll have to learn to love within You'll have to learn to live without You're wasting away You'll have to learn to love within You'll have to learn to live without You're wasting away Fauxtographic memory, a mind that's still developing I turn my back on all I see cause everything feels make believe You tried to stay, I made you leave and made the world give up on me I can't accept reality cause everything feels make believe

Turn me upside down like an hourglass Time is running out and too much time has passed Slipping through the fingers of calloused idle hands Grasping for a breath while choking on the sand Maybe I'm too scared to stand in my own skin Maybe I've become transparent If I only have one life left to leave Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body This is the lie that I believe Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself You're suffocating me with positivity But either way, it's still fucking suffocating I refuse to be what you want from me I can't be perfect, but tell me what the fuck is perfect anyways? If I only have one life left to leave Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body This is the lie that I believe Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself It's okay to not be okay It's okay to feel this way It's okay to feel this way It's okay to feel this way I'd rather live than die this way I'd rather give than take away If I only have one life left to leave Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body This is the lie that I believe Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself It's okay to feel this way It's okay to feel this way It's okay to feel this way It's okay to feel this way
