I am a feeling resting in a bed of thought, Crashing, smashing, and testing the limits I've got. All I know is everything dies in the end. We know we're dying and we shouldn't pretend We aren't. The light's on but it's hollow. Turn it off. This empty shell is a mark of everything that's wrong. How does it feel? Nothing's to blame at all. The light's on but I'd rather leave it off. I am a collection of all of your darkest thoughts, Growing, showing, and suffering as much as you want. All I know is we'll be dead in the end. Maybe it's not worth keeping me as your friend. We're stuck. The light's on but it's hollow. Turn it off. This empty shell is a mark of everything that's wrong. How does it feel? Nothing's to blame at all. The light's on but I'd rather leave it off. What do you know better than me?

Hollow 04:30
In me lives eternity, Soaked deep within the rain. Hollow and empty, Light and the darkness are the same. Moonlight and sunshine Are bitter illusions of life. Breathing in the water, Drowning never seems To take quiet as long As chasing inner peace. Drowning so slowly... Drowning so slowly... I'll sleep in the deep. In me lives a certainty Steeped deep within the lake. Hollow and unknown, Maybe, peace is meant to be fake. Deep down, underground, What's lost is almost never found. Breathing in the water, Drowning never seems To take quiet as long As chasing inner peace. Drowning so slowly... Drowning so slowly... I'll sleep in the deep. Drowning so slowly...

Awake 00:53
I never feel awake. It's like everyday is a infinity trapped in purgatory. Eyes look at me and I look back but we both see nothing. A dreamed reality is something that can't be understood. The intelligent ignorance defies a nonsensical logic. If nothing feels real, then what does real even mean? Are we truly awake or is this my never ending dream? Are we truly awake?

Bound 02:27
Bound together, We face the feeling inside. Leaving all our sorrows behind, Our past won't help us this time And this is the end. All your petty hate Will bend into words. With a pretty face, It'll shape all my worlds Bound together, The fire in us burns us alive. Running from the sorrows behind us, the past may destroy us in time And this is the end, Where our forgone minds Will explode into seas. We'll be lost for all of time In what we'll never be. This is the end.

Ashes 03:17
I gave myself, You left me to die. In all that was left, I stood there and cried, "You're gone again." This is my end. You burned up my dreams, Left me to breathe in the ashes. Just disappear. The ash clouds are real. You never loved me. I wasn't real. No matter the dream, I'm not the ideal. You're gone, again. This is my end. You burned up my dream. Please, bury me in the ashes Then disappear. The ash clouds are real. Burned up in flames, Nothing stayed the same.

Revenants 06:33
Come set sail with me. There's only us and the sea. With nothing left here for me, We could run away and be free. Come with me. Sea serpents thrash the ocean. If we overturn, we'll be back As revenants. Don't fear the coming storms. We're going to make a home. Hold my hand if we start to sink. Make one last wish, then let it be. Come with me across the sea. Storms and riptides flay us on all sides. If we die, we'll soon feel alive. We are revenants.
