Forced Down, Fed Up

I have a vision
of devastation
as mass hysteria
torments the nation
of being no one
Of being nothing
of setting this world on fire
and moving mountains
ill carve open your chest
theres no place left to hide
i plant the seeds of horror
deep within your mind
no matter how much pressure you apply
the bleeding will not stop
until I've proven there is nothing left inside
for every loyal to the grave
there is a stone adorned with your name
for when the time comes to turn
i will show
Nothing
i am oblivion
i live and breathe in vain
i am the lost
i am the damned
i am nothing

As we are sitting
I can tell now what your thinking
and with every word that breaks your lips
my heart is slowly sinking
i told you from the beginning
that this would all end up poorly
but you had to risk it all
just to have a true love story
I promised you the world
but i only gave you dirt
And i promised you your happiness
but i only gave you hurt
I was not worth all the hardships
the reward was not in sight
so you had to let me go
and carry on with your life
But who am I
to stand between your happiness and your joy
when i thought i was the key to unlocking all those doors
but i had it all backwards
i was holding you back from so much more
we utilize distraction just to look the other way
we personify our failures
and stare them in the face
we have buried all our skeletons
and moved on from our ghosts
but the tragedy still eats away at the ones who love us most
it all starts with isolation
why i always feel alone
why your key is on the counter
and your never coming home
there are things i cant remember
and things i will replace
the one thing you will never take
that defeated look
that drips across your face
You say that I’m easy to forget
But you’re the one thing
I will not regret
Rest easy
Rest easy
Rest easy
(rest easy)
knowing that i will die alone
in a one bedroom apartment
while you’re sleeping in your home
(rest easy)
knowing you’re the only love i knew
And i thought you were my world
but i never meant a fucking thing to you
(rest easy)
knowing that i tried
knowing you were wrong
knowing that they lied
Rest Easy
knowing that i tried
knowing you were wrong
knowing that they lied
Rest easy

You Are Nothing

do you remember passion
a desire to be
we fell from grace so fast
it killed us instantly
we harness our aggression
We balance it with peace
we have never quite been able
to put our mind at ease
And with time
We will realize
That it’s nothing
Everything’s for not
one day we fall
did we make a point
to be remembered
this will all amount to silence now
In hopes that
There was more
the insignificance is daunting
and failure rate is high
do not think you are like them
they are more than you and I
they were told so, so it is
there is no reprimanding
the few who think they are above
the ones who walk with them each day
a conspiracy for the ages
as time eats away at us
our hearts our biggest anchor
our eyes our biggest fault
we see what we cant have
And aspire for nothing less
while hoping to be more
we are killing ourselves
I have found my
Conscious feeling
of anger and regret
And i wait with baited breath
and eyes of despair
for what they may capture next
We hold on for our lives
but the tides have washed away
every tiny victory
and the hand that chases time
is now chasing after us
take each breath slow
And take each step fast
and get out with more
than what you have put in

Spit and Spirit

From up here
we can watch
the world implode upon itself
we walk on a sea of light bulbs
that refuse to hold the weight
with every
word we speak
we cross a line that did not exist
the day before were finding
new ways to offend
i know that you have felt this way before
there has got to be another way to feel
And i know that i have heard this all before
please offer us another losing tale
you’re making excuses
for actions you’re ashamed of
you’re turning your movement
into a modern witch hunt
you’re spitting
in the face
of all who came before you
making a mockery
of what you claim to stand for
every word out of your mouth
is a tripwire for society
every word out of your mouth
is a fallacy
the count is on
there is no more time
the end is near
the blurring of lines
the fall of mankind
i know that you have felt this way before
there has got to be another way to feel
And i know that i have heard this all before
please offer us another losing tale
and when there is nothing to give
you take what you can
you claim theres spit and spirit
preach your sermon to your masses of sheep
send your flock out to kill
feast on the souls that they reap
build your following
at any expense
there is no love lost
there is no bridge to mend
delete yourself
yet your history stands
there’s no hope of anonymity (no hope of anonymity)
and yet
you continue to claim
that death is validated only if in your name
please don't tell my father what i have done
when we cross paths again
he wont acknowledge his son
i am ashamed
of the man that i left you to be
i thought you'd be a better representation of me
dear god
i am sorry for how i act
i took the wrong path
and i never looked back
i was pushed
but thats no excuse
i am the one who has killed
yet I'm here to accuse
now i am stuck
between heaven and hell
in a place i can remember but cant recognize well
i put my life on a shelf
for dreams that never came true
and heres to the hope
that i might still mean something to you
And if not for the things i did right
than just to say i didn't waste all of my life
why am i questioning others actions
as if they have been holding me captive
these restraints are self deprecating.
this is in no way captivating
they have taken everything from me

every word
that comes from your lips
is a bullet hole kiss
to a sinking ship
you mean the world to them all
they sacrifice to your wish
they value your cause
more than all that exists
you instill your fear
you disguise it as hope
and then you cut your losses
from the end of their rope
for everything that you have given
you've learned nothing yourself
your words of wisdom are directed towards anyone else
you find your new followers and you guide them to death
you sacrifice the ones who love you while saving your breath
they willingly give themselves to your cause
while the others who watch
see no reason for pause
for the first time the light will acknowledge them
and that is when you will play the victim again
You’re playing the victim again
you have learned nothing
by building statues in your name
while others bow and pray
you feast upon
what they give away
yet you still mean the world
Yet you still mean the world
