Die Alone 03:42
I was waiting for you on the edge of night As I left another state behind The wind was howling down the empty road But I don't want to go through this world alone I just don't want to go through this world alone And the hole that I watched swallow up the ocean Now was tearing through the earth I'm not brave for being outspoken I'm just a fool like everybody else I'm a fool just like everybody else I've been thinking about burning down my house Cut all the strings that hold me down Disappear forever and forget my home But I don't want to go through this world alone I just don't want to go through this world alone All I wanted was an answer That I knew I'd never find I'm not brave for talking about failures I'm just a fool like everybody else I'm a fool just like everybody else

I came home drunk again It's the only way I sleep It's the only way I keep from breaking down I tried giving up again I just couldn't follow through I can never seem to finish what I've started What the hell am I doing here? Stuck at the tail end of another wasted year Someone tell me what the point is Because it all seems pretty pointless here I went broke again Spending all my cash On theses things that wouldn't last That would get me wasted But it's ok I can throw my life away I don't give a damn even if I make it
3.
Faith 03:00
I cut out my eyes And threw them to the past Just to try To see the point I missed The banker keeps on calling But I ain't got no cash I'm not sure of anything I hope for I doubt everything I see I'm not trying to move any mountains I'm just trying to move my feet I threw out my pride I really didn't care Well I've tried to overcome my fears But they press down on my shoulders They crawl under my clothes How the hell am I supposed to live like this? This isn't the way I thought it'd be
4.
Cynic 03:55
My feet were cold And the night was an empty promise That the next day would come That there'd even be an end to all this darkness So I held out my hand Waiting for yours to come and take it And lead me back home Because I was so lost My eyes were vacant Maybe there's nothing left for me to understand All I do is chase after the wind The moments come and go like a passing glance But I don't see a thing My hands were shaking From every thought that I tried to bury And I could hardly breathe From burdens I can't lift but still need to carry So I yelled to the trees I screamed out my questions This life is just a reprieve And I'm just waiting for my sentence Maybe there's nothing here for me to understand In a world that's so profoundly meaningless We're all just wasting time until it ends Or we begin again So call me a cynic Call me a liar Say whatever makes this world seem a little brighter Maybe I'm pessimistic No, I think I'm just tired But it's hard to believe it gets any better
5.
Bloodless 04:06
I've been running across the rooftops of my mind While a cold wind blows and lightning strikes It's a vicious game to try not to be found It chills me to the bone It's burning me alive You wouldn't know that I was dying Until you've seen my wounds exposed So I'm keeping anyone from getting close I'll split myself in pieces Just to keep from being known Now I'm looking for a place to keep my blood It's coming to the darkest part of night Where the things I don't like telling come to light It could be easier to keep it all inside It's soaking through my clothes It's flowing out my eyes
6.
My feet were in shackles I was tearing my clothes As I tried to break free from the chains I watched all I worked for Turn into smoke And the wind came and took it away The skies they grew darker And it started to rain So I headed on into the bar Looking for shelter A place to escape And find rest for my weary heart
7.
The kids were out back They were all getting stoned In the alley outside of the bar The old folks were laughing At the bartenders jokes Just trying to forget who they are My eyes they were heavy My heart was a stone They were kicking me out to the street But before I am leaving I'll take one for the road And two before I fall asleep
8.
Past Myself 03:15
I was fast asleep Lost inside a dream With everything I love This stupid life I've made Well I've got time To burn it to the ground It's not a question of how We see the way that we see The glass half-empty or full Just doesn't matter to me Because I'd still have time To turn it upside down If I could just get past myself I could be ok What if I had it all All that I wanted and need I can't get too comfortable I can't get used to those things Because I'd still have time To blow it all to hell
9.
Tyrant 04:30
Days are ticking away Pulling me up to the edge of my grave And I'm crippled by the weight Of mistakes that I'm forced to relive everyday Because time is a ruthless tyrant Her hands clasped around my throat I've nothing left No strength to fight with So I close my eyes and just let it go I feel I'm slipping away The tears flow in rhythm with the blood in my veins I try so hard to escape My lips on the bottle An attempt to erase I thought I was living the life that I wanted But I just don't know anymore Because heartbreak and loneliness Were all that I got And it seems they're taking their toll
10.
Fate 04:56
There's a ghost that's haunting my bedroom Of the man I thought I could be I once believed I was born for great things But I pissed it all away (Now what am I going to do?) It's like a cancer to the brain It keeps wasting me away Is it just a phase Is it just a game Or is it just my fate? Was it all just a mistake A stupid choice that someone made Or is it just my fate? And the night comes down hard like a hammer As I nurse this sickness I keep Because I am a mess of a miserable man And the ghost won't let me sleep (Now what am I going to do?)
11.
The Weight 10:27
The darkness takes my eyes It overwhelms the light And leaves me shaking in my skin The love and hate collide The joy and pain subside And leave me left with nothingness I don't feel it growing colder I don't feel anything at all Just the weight of every failure That's crushing all my bones And I can't change my perspective I can't change anything at all I can't be a better person But I swear it's not my fault The demons in my head Are scaring me to death They scrape and claw at every seam Their speech is poisonous It's seeping through my skin And I'm left begging for relief It's the weight of every failure That's crushing all my bones
