Empty

So empty inside
I’m pretending that I’m alright
Only one more night and I will feel alive
I will drown
In my own lies for a hundred times
Until my self’s forgotten and then its just me and my own threats
But I wont leave
So empty Inside
I pretend that I’m alright
Only one more night and I will feel alive
I regret I regret this is everything I have
And Im so sorry for pretending to be someone that Im not
And this growing sickness makes me feel empty inside my chest
I can’t feel alive, so tell me something beautiful
Written, composed and played by Watch me Rise

Chasing Ghosts

Still chasing
These ghosts in my mind
Everything’s the same
Still disdained
Forced to let them go
Won’t ever stop to hide myself in places they don’t know
It was patience you prayed again
The crux of your steady impermanence was in fact the suffering of your distant surroundings
Downing over and over again, in the backyard of my fucking mind
Always searching for these dead ends and points of no return, chasing ghosts
I’ve always been that way
Carry on, that was nothing you’ve ever said
Unsophisticated phrases, be yourself and don’t be anxious
Carry on and just be patient
Still chasing
These ghosts in my mind
Still fading
Everything’s the same
Still disdained
Forced to let them go
Won’t ever stop to hide myself in places they don’t know
And all these lines that I wrote
They all were ghosts inside my brain
Pretending to be something good, even though there were poison for my fucking hearth
And the longer I think about them, the more they become a part of myself
I’m gracious for the ability to express myself but I keep on hiding these words in the dark
Chasing these ghosts, writing a poem
No longer running around in circles
No longer being patient
Won’t turn around a second time
Won’t chase this once again
Unsophisticated phrases be myself and don’t be anxious
Carry on and just be patient get the fuck out of my face man

Forever Alone
Petrified and cold
Repellent my thoughts
And everything around me is fading away for a second time
Encouragement denied
I’m paralyzed
Cause all I can imagine are demons by my side, for a lifetime
Build it up, tear it down
No turn around
I made a rod for my own back and I will spoon shit up again
Out of my face you are not worth my time
Look back to all the mess we left behind
Seven years you’re walking down this path
Captivated by the reflection of your own mask
I want to breathe, want to breathe
Pretend, pretend that I’m okay
Worn out faces everywhere, how should we heal If no one (cares)
I won’t believe, I won’t believe
A single word from this boy in the mirror
This fucking sickness costs me way too much time, so I won’t
Let this happen once again, I take control of my mind
And I just want to let you know this
This is for you my friend
I promise, I will be fine someday
Clean and shit, so you don’t need to worry
Seven years I’m walking down this path
Captivated by the reflection of my own mask
I want to breathe, want to breathe
Pretend, pretend that I’m okay
Washed out faces everywhere, how should we heal If no one (cares)
I promise I will be fine someday
Clean and shit, so you don’t need to worry

Doors Closed
02:35
|

We are we are, precarious with ourselves
To be noncommittal with the fear of missing out
There could be more, there could be less
So just start doing shit
What will help us leave our inner grief behind
Cause we all just pretend to believe
We are erratic we are voiceless
closed doors are all that we’ve got
Identity is what we need (tonight)
Cause we all just pretend to fit in
We are hated, and we are pointless
But we open the door once again
There’s no commitment in your fucking mind
Why so suspicious and not one of a kind
There’s so much anger in my head
This trophy haunting makes me sad
Break the barriers of ourselves, forget your good intentions
What will help us leave our inner grief behind
Cause we all just pretend to believe
We are erratic we are voiceless
And closed doors are all that we’ve got
Identity is what we need (tonight)
Cause we all just pretend to fit in
We are hated, and we are pointless
But we open the door once again
You take the best part of my life and tear it up infront of my eyes

Far From Home
03:39
|
|||

Back when I was nineteen again
And all I did was staring at my ceiling, waiting for years go by
Listen to the same old songs, like we used to every time
But you walk on and don’t look back
Cause everything is changing, and I feel so far from home
I just wanna’ say I’m grateful, for these nights back where we roamed
All these different kinds of reasons, just to let you know
No one carry one
Anxious myself back these days
I realised, If I won’t mind, leave those sorrows way behind
Falling back in time
So, I pray one day you will be fine
Keep searching all your life
But you walk on and don’t look back
Cause everything is changing, and I feel so far from home
I just wanna’ say I’m grateful, for these nights back where we roamed
All these different kind of feelings, just to let you know
I will carry on
And everything around me, is rising I feel happy
Promises I couldn’t keep hanging up the curtain rail
My older dreams beside my heroes drowning in the rain
Long time no see my dear old friend come back another day
No matter how far away
Trust me, I won’t change
(Don’t look back, Don’t look back)
No matter how hard these strains
Trust me, that I wont break
(Don’t look back, Don’t look back)
Cause everything will fade away
(Don’t look back, Don’t look back)
I will carry on
