Over and over
Repeating all day
These images haunting me
Tearing away
My life and my mind
Cracking, going to break
I'm shaking, fear taking me
Mental will fray
I'm lost in my own world of recreated hell
I'm lost
(I'm lost)
I'm lost
(I'm lost)
In hell
(In hell)
In this mental hell
See the pain seething
Feel your soul reeling
Thougts are racing
Heart's palpatating
Pulse beating in me like a frantic war drum
Focus drowned out by this ceribral hum
Creating a soundtrack to the mental visions of my past
Haunting me, tormenting me
I have some resemblance of peace the past comes crashing back in, bombardments will never cease
My head is starting to spin, feeling defeat from within, I can't help but give in
Inner demons bombing my mentality, my reality
These scerated memories before me explode and shake me to the core
These are feelings I can never ignore
See the pain seething
Feel your soul reeling
These memories will crush you
A sense of normalcy is what I am needing
I'm laying here and I can barely breath

(N)egative Reality

Thoughts become manifest
A terror in my eyes but also my closest alley
We speak in ways that no one understands
They're my own world that no one else can see
Thoughts runaway with me,
Truth's so hard to see
I just want to be free
From the chaos in my head
Tell me is this real or my reality?
There's something I have to do
But I really don't want
But according to the man
So slinder with out stretched hands
He beckons me
"Do this if you want to be free"
Reluctantly I agree
I need to protect my family
Lure her over here
Dear God this is really happening
With hidden blade I'm feeling despair
"Don't be afraid, I'm so sorry!"
Oh! There's so much blood
But here is no screams only the sound of metal and flesh
Please believe me, I just wanted to be free
It seems so real
This world that I see isn't reality
How can this be?
What's happened to me?
What's this world that I see if not reality?
And they scream take this pill, we'll help you heal
But now I can't feel
How do I know you're real?
I can't tell the difference in the feel
Help me! My mind is dragging me under!
I can't tell what's safe anymore!
I don't know who to believe!

Well I'm not sleeping anymore
Endless memories play like movies on repeat
But I know how they end! I can't make it stop
Thoughts in my mind, they float around
They're like thousands of equations
Can't find the solution
Help me find the solution
You try to make it through
Your mind betrays you
Gripped by fear your hands they shudder
I'm growing used to the solitude
The past etched in stones shackled to my feet
Dragging me under
I feel like I'm drowning!
And I'm the odd man out
No desire in the norms
Animoscity forms
The damage leaves these scars
You try to make it through
Your mind betrays you
Gripped by fear your hands they shudder
Despair embraces you
Ambiguity kills you
Breaking down your heart it flutters
Adrenal fatigue
Constant state of fight or flight
Wearing my mental fibers thin
I'm gasping for breath
Like being on the verge of death
Rage is the only emotion I know
Is this the fruit that I reap?
(Please help me find the solution)
Because my past runs so deep
(The clock dancing away)
Panic is starting to creep in
(Seconds become minutes become hours)
I'm just begging for sleep
(My thoughts become sour)
This is all that's left of me
A rotted out shell with cold dead eyes
You try to make it through
Your mind betrays you
Gripped by fear your hands they shudder
Despair embraces you
Ambiguity kills you
Breaking down your heart it flutters
Adrenal fatigue!
Help me I'm drowning!

Eyes open to another day
Of this nightmare. Shrouded in pain
I look around at the shards of this heart
The burden weighs so heavy on me
We share these memories that haunt me
And I, I bare these scars from your suffering
Every time I try to pick up the pieces it cuts me a little deeper
So much pain I'm driven with fear, you left me standing here
My heart wants to hold on to the love we once knew
But in my mind are the shadows of you
I scream for your return but your love
It's...it's been given over to another!
Every time I try to pick up the pieces it cuts me a little deeper
So much pain I'm driven with fear, you left me standing here
I struggle with this failing everyday. Give me back your heart, I'm wasting away
On the ground craddling these broken pieces
In heartache I smother
Loosing strength. Im staring at your demon
Every time I try to pick up the pieces it cuts me a little deeper
So much pain I'm driven with fear, you left me standing here

How dare you deceive me, manipulate my love for you
Building a wall around my heart and blinders over my eyes
Then stand back and watch as I stumble about destroying everything around me
I loved you
Trusted you
Cherished you and adored you
But you say I'm nothing
That I'm no good, that I am worthless!
I can't believe after everything I've done for you you could do this me
After everything from screams and fights to heartbreak and lonely nights
I tried my best to stick by you and be the good man you said I wasn't
I worked myself sick to try and meet your expectations
But it was never good enough for you
It would never be good enough!
Eyes open to another day
Of this nightmare shrouded in pain
I'm no longer caught up in this dirty game
Anger and love are not the same!
Now you seem more like a stranger
My hurt turns over to anger
Now I can finally say
It's not my fault
There's no more love between you and I
I'm screaming inside
With tears in my eyes I can no longer hide
The damage you've left inside
Eyes open to another day
Of this nightmare shrouded in pain
I'm no longer caught up in this dirty game
Anger and love are not the same
And you say that this is love?
I'm finally rid of you and I'm not ashamed
How dare you play with my mind
You try to tear me down
Destroy this house that we built
You strike the one you say you love?
And give yourself to someone else?
You threw it all away!
And spit in my face
How could you do this?!
Pray that one day I will forgive you
But until then
How dare

Falling to a place deep inside where I hide
These scars, memories, this hurt
Hiding from the critics. There's no room for tears here!
The words you said, tearing me down
You hate what is different
I just want to be me, I just want to be me!
I hear the voice ringing clear
"Have no fear. These words can’t hurt you
Just let it go they can’t harm you here."
These words in my ear
Voices say to me
"It's alright! It's alright!"
Don’t tell me it doesn’t hurt!
Hiss of whispers driving into my ears
Hateful giggles trailing
You poke fun, point fingers, pick fights
Don’t tell me it doesn’t hurt!
When these words you spit fly like shards of glass cutting me deep
When they’re beating her down because they can’t deal with their own fear
When you snicker and snarl at him because he’s different
When these words don’t break bones but break hearts and spirits, I don’t want to hear it
Don’t you dare!
I hear the voice ringing clear
"Have no fear. These words can’t hurt you
Just let it go they can’t harm you here."
The words in my ear
Voices say to me
"It's alright! It's alright!"
Don’t tell me it doesn’t hurt!

Thinking back on it all
Feeling so nervous
But on the surface everything seemed so calm
Inviting smiles and warm gestures
Luring me, hypnotizing, mezmerizing
Blurring my eyes to where I can't see
The fakes, the flakes, the snakes
I shouldn't let you in
Struggling to fight only to see myself
Dropping my guard and getting baited in
Feeling so alone, I just wanting to be accepted
I drink into the lies
My intuition, it cries
It's telling me I'm headed to my demise
Feel your world crashing down but you can't make a sound
Falling prey to the wolves and I'm left with nothing
Feel your world crashing down and smashing into the ground
Falling prey to the wolves but you will remember
Day in and day out
Struggling just to get out
Mind is scattered and jumping around
Body like a ton of bricks
The day passing by all I can do is stare
Stare off into the abyss of this darkness that's eating my consciousness
My heart is pounding but I can't seem to catch my breath
Feels like the flames are running through my veins
Choking on this hurt, panic start creep in
It's got a death grip on me
I just want to run
To get out but I can't seem to find the strength to lift my limbs
Feels like I'm smothering
Never shoulda let you in
I built these walls for a reason
But I opened the door and all you brought was treason
Oh, you're all the same
Just coming in a different seasons
Feel your world crashing down and smashing into the ground
Falling prey to the wolves but you will remember!
See your life flashing now, your body's on the ground
Feel all cares passaway and they will remember!
So you think you've won
But you don't know the half of it
Just when you think I'm gone
I'll be haunting you in your dreams
Feel your world crashing down but you can't even make a sound
Falling prey to the wolves I'm left with nothing
Feel your world crashing down and smashing in the ground
Falling prey to the wolves but you will remember
See your life flashing now, your body's laying on the ground
Feel all cares passaway and they will remember!
While I'm still breathing I am sitting here and greiving
I won't get to see your face when you realize what you have done
This my final tomb here sitting in your room with the last message
Hold my breath here comes the barrel of the gun
(Pull the trigger)
Press my head against the barrel of the gun
(Pull the trigger)
