We all seek for some form of structure in our heads A thread to follow, something to live for when we stray from the path I wish that you could see what you believe makes you part of the same old scheme A patchwork of your hopes and all your creeds The words you whisper when you're on your knees You open your throat, but your eyes are closed I could have sworn you put yourself on a higher level than everyone else We're running from the same dream The one where we grow old and turn to stone Feeling so alone And trust me, I have been there But I found peace by quitting to believe I'm worth more than you The church of... The church of...

Postcard 04:05
In my head, a message of grief We've been searching for relief A kind reminder of the lurking end Closed a chapter, lost a friend We'll meet our end at the bottom of a well We'll meet our end We'll meet our end at the bottom of the well We'll meet our end I'm sick of trying to resurrect a feeling that hasn't been present in the past few years And though I'm ready for a new beginning Letting go was my biggest fear When so long is the right reply We'd rather die than say goodbye But too many open doors leave a hole inside We'll meet our end at the bottom of a well We'll meet our end We'll meet our end at the bottom of the well We'll meet our end When we try to close We leave behind all those who we have known for many a year, I never wanted to go, but I can't stay here Closed a chapter, lost a friend Alright, alright. I don't wanna let it die It leaves a question in my mind Alright, alright. I don't wanna let it die It leaves a question in my mind I don't wanna let it die It's easier to let it bleed than to burn these books with honesty I won't let it get me (I won't let it get me) I won't let it get me It's easier to let it bleed than to burn these books with honesty I won't let it get me (I won't let it get me) I won't let it get me down I don't wanna let it die

This feeling eats your conscience It will get worse by the passing day Wishing you had seen the signs of a young soul just wasting away And now you know that you could have stopped her From fleeing from the pain that she was in Does no one see the problem? Is there anybody listening? And she will always be afraid of the dark And she will always be afraid of the dark And she will always be afraid of the dark And she will always Yeah, no one saw it coming It struck like lightning when the sky was bright Does it numb the guilt when you comfort yourself with that lie? An empty seat in an empty classroom, an old picture on a school hall screen A void left by a failing system, you're no example but you could have been And again the vultures circle around her room In her little dark cocoon, she decayed And they will be feasting soon, on her little dark cocoon Fade away And every morning she prayed she could just leave this world without a trace That day her wish was granted, when her body met a screaming train And now you'll never close an eye, knowing deep down inside Saying you did what you could That's just a lie There's no heart where the hangman roams She will not be saved And you can watch while they're picking the corpses Or you can say where the fuck you stand It's not about cursing the things that happened It's all about the loss we could prevent She will not be saved "I'm not the one you need, I'm not the one"

Ghost 03:28
I wanna kill the rats Destroy the fucking nest They built inside my aching heart I'm sick of smoking fags Just cause I feel depressed I should have known this from the start I don't wanna run and hide From the rising tide My hands are firmly locked again Another day in bed She drives me fucking mad The parasite has found a host No spine to support this weight Left with jealousy and self-hate So sick of feeling like a ghost. I don't wanna run and hide From the rising tide My hands are firmly locked again Around the key to my own cage I am content with putting myself at second place for this madness But the equilibrium swung past the point of no return Won't let you victimize me, although my heart is bleeding black I don't want the hours I just want the pressure off my neck Maybe I'm too naïve to know I'm not the only one A fucking coward that's submissive to this Stockholm Syndrome I can't fix this leak Maybe I'm scared to show weakness to the ones that make me weak I don't wanna run and hide From the rising tide I should have called you up again I don't wanna run and hide From the rising tide But I'm a coward of a man I don't wanna run and hide From the rising tide My hands are firmly locked again Around the key to my own cage Arf arf

I wasn't meant to perform well, but i've learned to live with flaws Well I've got my heart in the right place so I guess that I'm not lost Feeling bad for not meeting standards Right now it don’t make sense But back when I was a younger kid there was so fucking much to look up against Try a different mask on, see just how it fits But I don't really feel like the silhouette my mirror reflects Nothing ever shaped me, empty as can be The journey to find yourself is a journey to find inner peace What if I don't learn from all of my mistakes When everyone that knows me has a different perception of me Still don't know who I am, still far from complete We are a product of the people we love and the mark they leave We're never done Adjust yourself to acceptance, afraid that you'll sell me short Before I fall asleep I wonder where this fear finds its source I found my identity at the bottom of an ocean of lies I'm growing tired and restless from never being the same guy Stare at the light of the sun You'll never be the only one Stare at the light of the sun (repeat until blind)
