Anxiety

Anxiety I cannot breathe
Anxiety is killing me
Anxiety it suffocates
Anxiety now it's too late
I'm shutting off, Panic attack, my hope is gone can't get it back
Anxiety
Anxiety when will it stop?
Anxiety I might just drop
Anxiety wish it would end
Anxiety here it comes again
I'm freaking out, I can't hear you, I'm gonna die, nothing that I can do
Anxiety
My head is pounding with this stress, I don't think I can deal with this
My heart is failing in my chest, why am I such a mess?

Bowling Game (Miss You)
03:29
|
|||
|
Leaves are falling down, this is my favorite time of year
And right now, I wish that you were here
I'm finding it hard to face up to the pain and what I'm feeling right now
Words cannot explain
I'm feeling so empty, I've dreaded this my entire life
This can't be real, this can't be right
And when I start to accept my eyes deceive me
When will I wake up from this dream? I know this isn't a dream
I know you're gone and I miss you so much
And this is so hard, this isn't fair I miss you so much
I miss you
Time heals these wounds but until then what can I do?
Think of you? Think of us? Think of times I miss so much?
I don't think I can do this
But I know you're gone and I miss you so much
And this is so hard, this isn't fair I miss you so much
I miss you

I don't wanna be like you, I don't care about the things you do
I could care less if I am cool, dude you need to get a clue
I don't wanna be like you

Wildfire

I'm just an average guy living a boring life
But you're still by my side
And through all my faults, despite all my flaws
You're still here for the ride
It's a bumpy one but I'm who you still love
I'm hanging on, I'm staying strong just as long as I hold onto you
I love you girl, you're my whole world, I survive because of you
I try to do my best but I'm an anxious mess
Sometimes I wonder why you love me
You never give up on me, I hope you'll always be my rock and everything
It makes me, me, You're the one I love
I'm hanging on, I'm staying strong just as long as I hold onto you
I love you girl, You're my whole world, I survive because of you

Failsafe
02:56
|

|
Everything we do is just a trend, none of it will matter in the end
Our smiles are cliche, paper mache, eventually our happiness will fade away
I'm a pessimist, I'm wounded and can't be fixed
So much for optimism, I am the failsafe for this system
Take me away, I'm a waste of space
Throw in the towel, nobody cares anyway
Loneliness is ripping out my throat, in my own blood I will soak
Hope is being washed down the drain, I know better but I can't refrain
You will never understand, all alone I will stand
I'm past the point of giving up, finally I've had enough
Take me away, I'm a waste of space
Throw in the towel, nobody cares anyway

BMI Until I Die
01:26
|
|||
|
In the back of my mind I tell myself that I feel fine but I know that it won't last
Subconsciously I'm a mess and my body is a wreck, I feel like I have fallen fast
I can't explain this, not like you'd understand so why I should I waste my breath?
The mirror shows me who I am, makes me hate myself again, I guess that's just the way I'll be
My stomach churns with my rot, I want to be better but I'm not, I guess I'll live despising me
I can't explain this, not like you'd understand so why I should I waste my breath?
I'm living in regret with monsters inside me
There is no escape, I'll never be free

For You
01:28

Yell for you
Shout for you
Play for you
My life for you
Talk for you
Burn for you
Laugh for you
Pray for you
For you there is nothing I won't do, I'd do anything for you, I'll love you until this life is through
I'll always love you, I'll always need you, my life revolves around you
Hurt for you
Cry for you
Bleed for you
I'd die for you
For you there is nothing I won't do, I'd do anything for you, I'll love you until this life is through
I'll always love you, I'll always need you, my life revolves around you

Gone Too Soon
03:04
|
|||
|
The clocks keep on spinning and the hands keep on turning, moving on without you
The skies are still shining blue and the clouds keep on crying living on without you and it's not fair
Dammit, why did this happen? Gone too soon and I lost my best friend
Dammit, dammit how could this happen? Gone too long and I miss my best friend, I miss you
The hours going by, the weeks, the months and the years but it's just not the same without you
The laughter continues on but it's not the same without yours, you would light up the room and I miss you
Dammit, why did this happen? Gone too soon and I lost my best friend
Dammit, dammit how could this happen? Gone too long and I miss my best friend, I miss you

You Say
02:37
|

|
So you say you're sorry but I don't know if I believe a word you say
So you say you miss me but do you really mean what you say today?
You say you want to be with me again, you say you got rid of him
But you had your chance
You say that you made a mistake and that I should give you a break
Sorry but you're in my past
Sorry but I'm not sorry, I don't think I can do another round with you
So please go away, I'm tired of the games that you play
You say you want to be with me again, you say you got rid of him
But you had your chance
You say that you made a mistake and that I should give you a break
Sorry but you're in my past

Decaying
01:57
|

|
I'm decaying, I'm starting to rot
My brain is melting and my nerves are shot
My mistakes are breaking my heart
Lack of control is tearing me apart
How did I become so weak?
Hints of sadness when I speak
Constant failure, my ship has sprung a leak
My eyes are drying out, my skin is cracked
Severed vocal chords, I've got a broken back
Setting aside whats most important
I'm scared to death that I am a hypocrite
Once again please forgive me
Begging on my hands and knees
It's obvious I'm decaying
I'm decaying

Tell Dad Hi For Me
03:24

My nightmare came true that night that I lost you
The one thing I'm afraid of is losing those I love
Mom, now you are gone and I feel all wrong
My worlds caving in just like it did with dad and my best friend
My hearts broken again, why did this have to be?
Please tell dad hi for me
I'm waiting for the breakdown, will it be a sight or sound?
I still hear you in my mind, I still feel you by my side
Mom, now you are gone and I feel all wrong
My worlds caving in just like it did with dad and my best friend
My hearts broken again, why did this have to be?
Please tell dad hi for me

Looking at old photos and I see your face
Waves of nostalgia reminding me of better days, the good old days
Watching old videos and I hear your voice
Missing the laughter between the static and the noise
When I was a kid, the sun always seemed to shine
And in all those pictures and inside my mind live all the things left behind, frozen in time
Hearing those old songs and the melodies
Flashbacks to fun and no responsibilities when we were free
Missing the innocence and the feelings of hope
These days we do our best just to try to stay afloat
When I was a kid, the sun always seemed to shine
And in all those pictures and inside my mind live all the things left behind, frozen in time

4138 South 46th, the south side of town where I lived with my best friend
Making stupid videos and improv cassette tapes laughing all the time
2003 forever living in my memory, 2003
A for effort miss those songs, I miss that band, I miss it all, I miss the posters on our walls
It's the year I met my wife, that year changed my whole life, I wish I could go back
2003 forever living in my memory, 2003

Razor Blades And Rope
03:00
|

|
Darkness is in, the night overwhelms
The candle burnt out but I'm awake
Time stands still, my eyes are dry
I'm all out of tears to cry
I'm trying, I'm trying to hold on now
But I just keep on lying to myself
Please don't, hope you won't give up on me
You're what I need, you're who I need, don't give up on me
The light is on but it blinds me
The room feels small and the walls bleed
The air is tainted with the stench of grief and the poison that I'm inhaling
I'm trying, I'm trying to hold on now
But I just keep on lying to myself
Please don't, hope you won't give up on me
You're what I need, you're who I need, don't give up on me
Razor blades and feet of rope available to those who have lost hope
But that's not for me, it never will be, I won't give up that easily, no I won't, that's not for me
THAT'S NOT FOR ME

Summer Bummer
02:21
|
|||
|
The heat is rising up again and I wonder how you have been
It feels like it has been too long, I still wonder what I did wrong
The rain is making waves again, regrets haunting me like my sin
I feel like I should have tried harder but I've been benched for a better starter
It's a summer bummer without you
I feel like I might throw up, wish we could talk but you've had enough
You've thrown in more than just one towel, thought I connected but it went foul
Now I'm stuck here all alone, you disconnected your cell phone
I guess I should get the clue and try my best to not miss you
It's a summer bummer without you

What's Wrong
02:43
|

|
I can't be happy everyday, sometimes I have nothing to say
Sometimes anger tags along, it doesn't mean that something is wrong
Nothing is wrong I just wanna be left alone
Do I need your permission, is that okay with you?
Who cares it is up to me if I want to feel sad
And I can't be strong all the time
Some days I feel so weak inside
And some days I feel like giving up
And some days it's all not good enough
Nothing is wrong I just wanna be left alone
Do I need your permission, is that okay with you?
Who cares it is up to me if I want to feel sad

Until I Found You

I was nobody until I found you
I was lost, alone and confused
My empty heart was waiting for you
I'm nothing without you
I need you
Your eyes are so warm, your smile is a cure and I love you and that's for sure
We're meant to be, you are for me and I'm for you cause you love me too
You fill my heart, you fill my mind, you fill my thoughts all the time
I'll never leave, I'll always stay with you forever and a day
I need you

Summertime at camp crystal lake
You act all cool but you're so fake
You stand around and you let him drown
You didn't care and now you're scared
You go, you run, you hide but he will find you
Another night to fornicate
Try to get away but it is too damn late
He's after you and you have no chance
Last thing you see is his hockey mask
You go, you run, you hide but he will find you

I'd Rather Be Sleeping
04:26

Standing on my own facing life alone
It just gets harder to understand and accept myself
Standing all alone living life on my own
It just gets harder to comprehend and to love myself
Have you ever been at a point in your life where you want to give up?
Hope just fades away
Have you ever gotten so sick of yourself, you wanna be someone else?
I feel all alone
Standing on my own facing life alone
It just gets harder to understand and accept myself
Standing all alone living life on my own
It just gets harder to comprehend and to love myself
I'd rather stay here in my bed with the monsters inside my head
And try to forget all the dread
I'd rather stay here in the dark and wallow in my broken heart
When will I stop falling apart?
Have you ever thought about suicide? Giving up on your life well neither have I
But sometimes it takes all I got to smile and even wake up
Standing on my own facing life alone
It just gets harder to understand and accept myself
Standing all alone living life on my own
It just gets harder to comprehend and to love myself
