Theres a voice in my head
And he's made himself at home
He won't give me peace
He won't let me be alone
Like a broken record skipping
The same words always repeating
I'm getting tired of all this self loathing
But I can't ignore the voice in me
I thought I knew myself but I don't know how
I'm giving in to all my doubts
I never want to hear you again
(I never want to hear you say)
I need some time away
from my uninvited guest
overstayed overstayed
He makes me sleep all day
He keeps me up at night
Repeating the same lines
Am I going out of my mind
I thought I knew myself but I don't know how
I'm giving in to all my doubts
I never want to hear you again
(I never want to hear you say)
I am hopeless and I am useless
You're a cancer that I cannot harbour
You make every day a fucking labour
I thought I knew myself but I don't know how
I'm giving in to all my doubts
I never want to hear you again
(I never want to hear you say)
I am hopeless and I am useless
Get out of my fucking head

Impermanence

I weathered the storm and the storm weathered me
I was gritting my teeth for some form of relief
There's so much worse in life to come I need to
Be resilient or I'll come undone
It's been so long
Since I could be myself
And feel content
without somebody's help
I'm writing songs to see through the dark
I need to part the clouds and lift up my heart
Impermanence impermanence
I've been telling myself to keep my head up
But it's something I can't seem to grasp
When my head is planted firmly in the past
It's been so long
Since I could be myself
And feel content
without somebody's help
I'm writing songs to see through the dark
I need to part the clouds and lift up my heart
This storm will pass
There is brightness beyond the gloom
There is brightness beyond the gloom
If you let the light shine through
All of my pain is like sand in an hour glass
It won't last
Shed your deadweight
Let go of all your hate
There is brightness beyond the gloom
If you let the light shine through
I'm agonizing over every line
Trying to appease my overworked mind
There is brightness beyond the gloom
If I can let the light shine through

Strung Out

I'm agonizing over every line
Trying to appease an overworked mind
I know what this stands for
But I can't find the words
Toss and turn
For fucking hours
Not in my bed but in my head
I'm victim to
My own rue
There's no other way to say
I can't hold a candle to you
But I never wanted to
It's not enough for us
To live vicarious
I'm giving up on giving in
I won't settle for what I've been
I want to say what I need to say
Am I wasting my life away
Toss and turn
Yet again
Not in my bed but in my head
I've been here before
Believing I'm better dead
I'm an open book
Articulate
I'm not fluent with
What I communicate
Call me shy or hesitant
But I'm reluctant to fade away
What will I have to show when the clock expires
and I leave behind what matters most
I'm a painter painting with broken hands
A victim to my own demands
I can't hold a candle to you
But I never wanted to
It's not enough for us
To live vicarious
I'm giving up on giving in
I won't settle for what I've been
I want to say what I need to say
Am I wasting my life away

Empty Days

I am a compass that never points in a direction
I am a book with no writing on the pages
I am living on the edge of a knife
I am waiting for the axe to fall
There is no beating heart in my chest
Just a weathered soul in need of rest
There is an emptiness inside
A hole I wish I could confine
So free yourself and fill the well
Do I have what it takes to feel free
Do I have another day left in me
Don't try to save me from myself
Im an anchor weighing down everyone who tries to help
There is no beating heart in my chest
Just a weathered soul in need of rest
There is an emptiness inside
A hole I wish I could confine
So free yourself and fill the well
Take my hand and pull me
Up just forget that my head
Is still submerged so that I can never
Feel at peace
I face myself everyday to see a shadow of a person that I once had a love for
There is no beating heart in my chest
Just a weathered soul in need of rest
There is an emptiness inside
A hole I wish I could confine
So free yourself and fill the well
Fill the well

Relapse
03:49

What's the purpose when there is nothing left
But getting old and useless
In this room with a view
Of everything that's passing by you
Lapse and relapse
Return from your self exile
Of empty bottles and self medication
Return to sleep
Where you lay down dead and wake up barely alive
I'm a tidal wave ripping up paths we made
I'll never trust the foundations I laid
We were never taught to cope with the pain
Day in day out anxious and full of doubt
Lapse and relapse to the same old habits
Deep in your heart there is a passion to grow
When you let go of all the pain you know
Return from your self exile
Of empty bottles and self medication
Return to sleep
Where you lay down dead and wake up barely alive
I'm a tidal wave ripping up paths we made
I'll never trust the foundations I laid
We were never taught to cope with the pain
I can't stop retracing yesterday
It's like a song stuck on repeat
I relive each replay
Like I've never had a say
In what went wrong
I can't forgive myself for what I've done
I can't forgive myself
For what I've done
I won't forgive myself
For what I've done
