Heavy chest,
Heavy heart,
Anchor me right down in place,
Anxious mind,
Anxious nerves,
You can read it on my face,
Or at least you could if you cared to,
And I'm so scared to admit that you don't anymore.
A silent room,
A vacancy,
A lovely spot to forget me.
So if your heart is changing,
Then I'm left hanging,
Swinging back and forth,
And I'm gasping in a,
Long dead language,
You don't understand anymore.
Giving in,
Giving up,
Nothing's ever good enough,
Nothing's ever going to take away the sting of one-sided love,
Submit,
Submerge,
What a melancholy dirge,
But no one sticks around so it remains unheard.
Out of sight,
And out of mind,
Ignore the sadness in my eyes.
It's just an endless loop,
And the only change,
Is I feel more alone every day,
It's just an endless loop,
And I'm not okay,
No I'm not okay.
So if your heart is changing,
Then I'm left hanging,
Swinging back and forth,
And I'm gasping in a,
Long dead language,
You don't understand anymore.
I keep singing,
About sorrows,
But no one's listening,
No one's listening.

Fool's Gold

You thought you found the real thing,
But I was just fool's gold,
And now I'm the fool,
Standing out in the cold,
This flower bloomed full of color,
But the petals all fell,
When you stopped taking care,
And abandoned it there,
To whither and die by itself.
If I am not the one you want,
If I am not the one you love,
Then why do you keep,
Wasting your time,
If I'm not the one that's on your mind?
How can I show you that,
I'd give you all I have,
If you always turn away from me,
And how can I hold your hand,
If you never let me in,
I'm just a memory,
A memory slipping away.
If I am not the one you want,
If I am not the one you love,
Then why do you keep,
Wasting your time,
If I'm not the one that's on your mind?

Another evening,
Laying nervous at the world sleeps,
So worried as the pain creeps throughout my body,
Can you help me?
Do you care?
I reach for you but you're not there,
So...
Drag me,
Drag me down,
Take me,
Take me out,
Wishing that I could rewind,
But I cannot escape this time,
So pull me to the bottom,
And show me where I belong,
I'm so down and out,
Feel so worthless now.
So tell me am I,
Just a victim of my own mind?
Your whispers hit familiar ears,
But never reach mine,
Another hour spent in a room full of strangers,
Pull me back,
Drain my blood,
Give me no answers.
Drag me,
Drag me down,
Take me,
Take me out,
Wishing that I could rewind,
But I cannot escape this time,
So pull me to the bottom,
And show me where I belong,
I'm so down and out,
Feel so worthless now.
Why am I such a burden?
My God what's wrong with me,
When I can't sleep,
And I've got,
So many problems,
And so much anxiety,
When I can't sleep.
Why am I such a burden,
My God what's wrong with me,
When I can't sleep,
And I've got,
So many problems,
And so much anxiety,
And when you sleep,
I hope you dream,
But I know it's not of me,
So...
Drag me,
Drag me down,
Take me,
Take me out,
Wishing that I could rewind,
But I cannot escape this time,
So pull me to the bottom,
And show me where I belong,
I'm so down and out,
Feel so worthless now.

There is a misery that's present inside of a heart,
That has bled out its passions while falling apart,
Trying so hard to speak over the deafening sound,
Of the blade being sharpened to cut me down.
I'm in decline but still holding on,
Not really certain what I've become,
Why do I feel like I'm losing myself,
On top of feeling like I'm losing everything else?
I don't want to weigh you down,
So I'll keep this sadness for myself,
So imperfect,
But I'll be the one to bear the burden,
With every tragedy,
Visited upon me,
Below the surface,
I'm starting to wonder if I deserve this.
It seems as thought I've abandoned myself,
I'm a stray gone astray,
Always ignoring my health,
I'm aware of the symptoms,
But ignoring the cure,
Just hoping not to feel like this anymore.
This is a gasp,
An attempt to breathe,
And remind myself,
Of who I used to be,
If the image is fading,
Then I'm wasting time,
Suffocating beneath,
All these thoughts in my mind.
I don't want to weigh you down,
So I'll keep this sadness for myself,
So imperfect,
But I'll be the one to bear the burden,
With every tragedy,
Visited upon me,
Below the surface,
I'm starting to wonder if I deserve this.
It feels like I'm losing,
The fight inside my head,
Masking all the pain,
Doesn't help the emptiness,
It only drives the nail deeper,
That holds this casket lid shut tight,
Can't reach for what I need,
It's getting hard to breathe,
The dirt piled on,
Blocks out the light.
Compounding cause of self-rejection,
Desynchronized from my reflection.

You're Fading
04:19
|

You're fading away,
From the memories,
Of loved ones you hold dear,
They'll forget you,
And move along,
And then you'll disappear.
Forever and never,
I'm always in last place thinking that I'm so clever,
But the ties that you sever,
Are the only thing I have left to hold onto,
Back of your mind,
And bottom of the barrel,
I'll fall,
Deeper and deeper,
No one left to answer when I,
Call.
Just turn out the light,
Walk into the night,
Stars fade from the sky,
Memories becoming ever dim,
Until there's nothing left of them,
Walk into the night.
These songs will keep repeating,
These places never change,
But every single thought they bring of me to you will fade,
My face will lose its features,
My voice another noise,
Within a static that eventually you'll just avoid,
Every smile forgotten,
Each quiet moment lost,
All love I've ever given,
Left behind to sit and rust,
And as your drifting further,
To where I cannot see,
The saddest song loops in my head,
The choir sings to me:
(You're fading away from the memories,
Of loved ones you hold dear,
They're forget you and move along,
And then you'll disappear.)
Why do you stay here,
Wasting every breath,
When nobody is listening,
And you're all you've got left?
You're fading to death.
Just turn out the light,
Walk into the night,
Stars fade from the sky,
Memories becoming ever dim,
Until there's nothing left of them,
Walk into the night.
