breathe in breathe in i hope you're the first to go breathe out it's so dull being a ghost so exhilarating what's dormant will remain without a sound losing sight of myself as i count down the days i'm slowly accepting that this life isn't for me can you see me now i hope you don't find your way out breathe water till you drown till you drown night of lust, the red limousine where we all have sharp teeth and need to feed good blood bad blood, for you and for me for you and for me for you and from me i long to leave, this deceit would you forgive me i can see you hiding hide in the dark just like you do i'm in the seats still crying i'm in the seats still dying fly by you in slow motion what's with all of this commotion the state of the road is hopeless and i've fallen asleep behind this wheel if we crash this car out of this torturous place how far will we go, how long until it's all erased in memories of those that kept me sane the punches you landed that rattled my brain i need the glass teeth to cover me the pain to comfort me the world to swallow me the limousine to guide me you can't get me in here

robbing all my good and keeping it for yourself mental kleptomaniac taking from me what you lack life can give and give but take away without warning building walls collecting thoughts for desolate therapy talks how are you going to live when you don't have someone to blame pick a name, you're all the same you're all the fucking same taking the frames down so i can drown the past out trying, failing another day without you so i face this on my own i'm failing failing take me do with me how you please, invade me your concrete, has dried around my feet and bound me to you you don't know me more than i know myself you don't know me more than i know myself so take me fuck with me how you please, invade me your concrete, has dried around my feet and bound me to you now you're going away i guess you found something better than me that unfamiliar venom you sling buried in my skin so you can poison me whenever you please

Store 40 02:51
leave me with photographs shoebox filled falls to the ground film leaves blow plane takes off worry of don't love me worry of don't leave me steal away any fleeting scent i can, out of my mind rose tinted stark indifference the world you threw at me has led me to my grave and now i'm tired yet you are nowhere to be found it's getting late i'm getting cold still i refuse to go home i wander the aisles throw up my lunch from denial you fucking liar i come here every day to shed the heavy weight missing your presence while you fall deeper into your drink into your drink, eternally spend your whole life building a table of contents of all the people you meet the scents you smell and the sights you see but that doesn't help me figure out me you never helped me figure out me you never helped me figure out me, never the people you meet the scents that you smell and all the sights that you see why did you go i'm alone at the store and still i refuse to go waiting on your phone call just to, just to ignore it

don't ask if i'm fine why can't i drive left or right i can only go straight down an interstate till the familiar is bleak to a nowhere, where no one knows me, no one needs me no one needs me anyways so i scan my thoughts, relive the past till i find the cure of hopelessness i'd like to think i have an outlook for myself a reason to be, i'm here cause you made me but everything changes losing sight of myself as i count down the days your mind is eavesdropping on yourself talk how can you think that there's nothing wrong let me go i sit in the driveway as the raindrops break their legs they cry as their bodies roll down the windshield leaving life in dismay leaving everyone else okay sitting in the car, drawing this maze on my thighs there's nothing for me if i can't live in peace then i must find the cure of hopelessness

1998 03:36
a lackluster goodbye who will take care of me when you die in '98 he was born into the dark with one special someone trying to fix it all and i crawled, crawled through the mud as i ached and i sobbed and i found my way fucking to the light, collided by the push to do but held the strength to just say that i'm fine monochrome, till the glass hits your lips welcoming unknown, bet you won't remember this the taste of a drunken palm is what helped me to establish right from wrong there's no taking our fucking light you won't drag us along you text, i sigh you call, i cry at least you can say that you tried i tried, nothing left monochrome, till the glass hits your lips welcome the unknown, bet you won't remember this, right right do you call yourself a father, raining hell on my mother puke in the sink, choke on your drink and get the fuck away from me how could you call yourself a husband then betray your beloved puke in the sink, fall out of your seat, get the fuck away what a peculiar sight monochrome, till the glass hits your lips welcome the unknown, bet you won't remember this in 1998 he was born into the dark with one very special someone able to fix it all a standstill a lackluster goodbye who will take care of me when you die

mothers, sisters, family waiting for the creak of the funeral doors no father, but others with alcohol seeping from their breath he said he was clean, he promised, now he's scaling the walls on all fours his ghost walks you down the hall and places you into that uncomfortable chair the priest stands at his pedestal, nine to five, forcing his thoughts onto yours when all you can think about is if your footsteps are the reason that everyone's here was it all me turning three, nine, fifteen the reason you're now just a dream backseat car rides without you trees speed by now black and white, not green was it all me, was it all was it all me me turning three, nine, fifteen the reason you're now just a dream backseat car rides without you trees speed by now black and white and not green what does it even mean please forgive my joke of a memory father, can you hear me i've just turned 23 and i'm trying to be all i can be all i can be, all i can be can you hear me why did you leave me this way nobody could take your place a lesson you forced me to learn i am my own disgrace and i'm starting to notice everything that you didn't say i can live a whole life spend it all thinking about those days i didn't want it to be this way i'll return everything you gave why did you leave me this way nobody can take your place a lesson you forced me to learn i am my own disgrace was it all me me turning three, nine, fifteen the reason you're now just a dream backseat car rides without you trees speed by now black and white and not green why did you leave me this way nobody could take your place a lesson you forced me to learn i am my own disgrace

this monochrome blood takes color when drawn from myself four legs bark in silence i can't hear my ears i can't see my eyes and this feeling blinds why, why can't i move in this light

we all have our scars, from loving someone too deeply and i have mine from you that which feeds on life is not unanimous this red limousine still glows in the mist of my thoughts i'm just caught in the headlights drive past the park and break me like you wish you could and the sounds deafening, it's too much now i can't hear myself think everyone has their own pattern to follow so why'd you have to find mine so appealing my ears ring from the lack of empathy leaving your lips left sleeping alone i'm scared to get to the heart of my own mind that which feeds on life, is all that we hold dear any attempt to cast it out, is done only in fear that witch feeds on life, she feeds on all you do we all have our scars and i have all of mine from you bleed me dry it's just another time you've watched me die your comfort is my torment love swallowed by resentment it won't end i hope you reach your end knowing you put me here jump through the hoops, can you see me now can you see me now, can you see me
