Cleanse my soul, help me let it all go.
I‘m rotten to the core, the pain sticks to my bones.
Blood rushing to your head,
while you‘re feeling underfed.
Having needles under your skin,
Something to numb you from within.
Too dull to feel the pain in my stomach
I faint, in my sleep I eventually vomit.
I‘m slowly sliding under the sheets.
I see the people I love as I fall asleep.
I ate a box of pills again. Just to not have to be myself again. I hate that I am doing this but I‘m sick. I‘m sick of me.

Stuck

I've been lying awake all these nights, asking myself:
Is it worth the fight ?
To keep on pushing,
to keep on fighting for my dreams ?
The people around me, I'm sure they're looking down on me.
But I know I can make it, I'll show you that I'll make you proud of me.
And I have felt stuck for far too long, long before the day when you were fucking gone. These aches inside won't let me sleep, this wasted love won't set me free.
These aches inside won't let me sleep, this wasted love won't set me free.
These aches inside won't let me sleep, I'm slowly fading.
But I know I can make it, I'll show you that I'll make you proud of me and this is my way to express these feelings.

Lethargy

The amount of times I‘ve slept through the day just to forget what is going on inside my head is so immense. I can’t wrap my head around the months I’ve wasted in my bed. I’ll be okay that’s what I tell myself, even though in the back of my head I know it’s a lie.
I know that it’s a lie.
And this disease is leaving me in lethargy, it’s weighing me down day by day.
The troubles going through my head leave me with the wish to sedate myself. To numb everything that is left of me, what hasn’t been consumed by this disease. This lethargy is killing me, it’s making it hard to believe that one day I‘ll be okay, that one day I’ll be fine.
I’m a projection of my aches,
of everything that leaves me feeling not okay.
Prescribed medication as a way to cope, extending the time till I meet the rope.
Growing up with a scar on his heart,
These four walls were doomed from the start.
A child ridden with fear and regret,
he would someday struggle to forget.
All the pain he had to endure,
Breeding an illness without a cure.
Never feeling safe in a house,
that should bring him comfort when he‘s around.
Youth is like a noose hanging from my neck.

I am sorry for not speaking up, I just couldn't find the right words how I'm breaking and bruising, all this self abusing with this voice in my head that tells me, I was never enough.
Because growing up without comfort in your own skin, seems so pointless when all you do is try to please everyone that pushes you away.
I tried my best to fake a smile, just so you can't see what i hide.
And with the cancer blooming inside, that will someday end my fucking life.
I tried to change myself, to fit in, to hide in a shell.
A bastard child with no perspective, so afraid of his own reflection.
And I'm just so scared that I might never be content myself,
because all I do is try to please everyone that pushes me away.
The worst nightmare I ever faced was my youth.
Wake up.

We Already Lost The World

Great record, but also purchasing the whole album is worth it for We vs. Us alone; one of the great raging epics of the last decade for sure. So many stages, executed to perfection. Unreal.
