Blank screens, white pages, thoughts wander, mind racing. Contentment or motivation, no ability to speak When did this become too much Debilitating Is this getting older Wise words are gone Racking my brain to be worthy Yet all there is left? With no reason to speak Nothing to say Is it contentment a loss of memory or motivation

Silver Spoon 02:01
What's that you say? You're trying the best you can? Keep up your facade of sympathy, of empathy Keep acting like you care while the world hands you everything you'll need on a silver platter Spoon in your mouth, pat on the back, congrats on your uncontested win What's it like to never work a day in your life Pretending that you struggled through a system built just for you What's that you say? Oh poor me? Oh poor you? Privilege got the best of you What's it like to live your days in total lies Pretending to care for others while you Celebrate all that's been handed to you What's it like to win every goddamn time Spoon in your mouth, pat on the back, congrats on your uncontested win

Opus 03:07
Wasted time, wasted youth, wasted energy All this time spent on useless things Why even pretend this is meaningful, staring at white lines grasping onto past lives Can't let go of the glory days when the pain will go away Keep running from the truth buried deep inside of you Why even pretend this is meaningful, staring at white lines and passing dreams Keep counting on the days when the pain will go away Keep running from the truth buried deep inside of you Grasping onto past lives Can't let go of the glory days Staring at white lines and passing dreams How do you leave this behind Keep counting on the days when the pain will go away Keep running from the truth buried deep inside of you

Today is the day: the start of a new life without the weight of you crashing down on me I spent sleepless nights wondering where I went wrong In reality the lack of reality caused you to drown Questioning what I could change, when really what needed to change was always you Free of conviction, keep playing the victim Path of destruction, ruining everyone that you say you love Easy feeling worthless, when you threw away all that you had like you were just some dumb kid, who didn't know where the path would end.

Missoula 02:24
Did you think you'd break me I'd come crawling back again Tearing me down to nothing, your grip on my neck Can you believe all you see When did someone break you down Made me think I couldn't breath without you around Did you think you'd break me I’m breaking free

Do you question what you see? Or do you not see what's right under your nose Surrounded by clones, all the same There's comfort in the ordinary, no need to change Cause boys will be boys Wipe your hands of any guilt Brotherhood: Who do you exclude every time that word passes your mouth Do you see me the way you see yourself? Or do you ignore those who question you Cause boys will be boys Wipe your hands of any guilt Who do you exclude? Brotherhood The token role has been filled Pat yourself on the fucking back

Sylvia 03:10
I do it so it feels like hell I do it so it feels fucking real Disappeared without a trace, without a word Never saying goodbye, breaking all my promises Ran across the country I would swim across the ocean if I could When does one become a stranger after years of digging at the truth I still remember the first time I looked in your eyes I thought I had found my home Years later and this house is oh so quiet without you I can't give anymore of myself Acting like a stranger Who will never see those eyes again

How do I let go of bitterness and despair all around I watch as people celebrate, alleviate, and perpetuate the pain felt by others owned by you Searching for a light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm staring into an abyss I miss the days of not caring, selfishness is bliss Living each day like it's not the last: Invincible and Unaware Dreams are just that - not meant to come true The reality of life is just a nightmare How does one hope when hopeless How does one dream when blind The world is falling down around us
