Scarlett 03:30
Pages and pages of blank line Spaces seem crooked, not back and forth this time. It's not that I can't accept, I just needed a moment to re-invent. Oh god are you pulling me in? Do you press your ear against the wall to understand, What you can't believe? Shatter my structure, Spread demons through broken teeth. I run my finger along my face. Why was I made this way? Scraping nails across my chest. The touch, the taste will never leave my lips, Scratching the surface, Will I ever have a memory worth remembering? This empty home where the dust collects, Leaves the deepest itch on the back of my hands. I'll carve it out, I'll carve it out, I'll carve you out. Slowly finding ground, something to hold me up. Drowning out the sound. Construct my bones to fit the perfect image, This body is worthless if it can't control itself. When the reflection is the enemy, The killing moon stares back at me. Pages and pages of blank line, Spaces seem crooked, not back and forth this time. It's not that I can't accept, I just needed a moment to re-invent. Oh god, are you pulling me in? Do you press your ear against the wall to understand, What you can't believe? Shatter my structure, Spread demons through broken teeth

Deep Down 03:37
Deep down I relive the moments I would dread upon, To feel something, To remember something other than this. The only light in the room I despise, I've tried to empty out the hole. It's filled with what you couldn't use and left behind, Try to see clear through the shattered mind Please speak sincerely I am scratching and scraping at corners I never thought that I could find Deep down did I leave my life to chance Deep down did I leave this all to chance When you only crave sleep in the morning And the lights won't fade When your body's aching I'm losing time, losing sight When the bottle is empty And the space is cold Where you used to lay Deep down, will I ever be the same? When did the life leave your eyes? Little soul I've been wasting away, Buried alive. This skin is nothing a wasted purpose, Holding an empty body. How will you fill the cracks you've made? My chest is a breeding ground, For all of your fucking mistakes Deep down I can still hear that voice Just a ghost to me Or was there ever a sound at all? Keep choking down the thought Down deep When you only crave sleep in the morning And the lights won't fade When your body's aching I'm losing time, losing sight When the bottle is empty And the space is cold Where you used to lay Deep down, will I ever be the same? Does it ever end? I can feel it sinking like a shrouded pain I've kept for so long Why the fuck is it better to have loved and lost? Why the fuck is it better to have loved and lost?

Conduit 03:42
Oh all the ways you've caught me drowning. Do you pray for this? Do you hope for the best? All the combinations of words I could speak I will spill them all I will empty out my lungs All that I want Is to be the only voice when I'm all alone They're dragging me back Holding me down I'm living a lost cause Balance the flow of my conscience My counterpart is a conduit For the criminal in me Carefully extracting all that I need to see Through sunken eyes There's no need to cross your heart When you hope to die The coward protests The hopeful repent Bright nights and dark days I live Not a moment can pass When hatred is all that I have Bright nights and dark days I live Bright nights and dark days I live Not a moment can pass When hatred is all that I have Not a moment can pass Rebirth was the only chance I was never the same not after that day I've been waiting to change I'm still waiting to change I'll always be waiting I'll always be waiting All that I want Is to be the only voice when I'm all alone They're dragging me back Holding me down I'm living a lost cause I'm living a lost cause They're dragging me back in Holding me down I will empty my lungs Diving back into the void Catching up to the voices that kept me alive In times of distress I beg them to die I beg them to die Counting the days I've wasted It's getting so hard I am growing impatient I was never the same Not after that day Not after that day

Surface 03:38
Selfless and dried out Back against the wall There seems to be no point to this No reason to go on I will go unscathed I the fucking thief Could I starve enough just to find relief Give yourself to the madness Let the tide inindulge in it Don't stay here Another night alone to feel The wolf inside me tremble Patiently awaiting the hunting ground The taste of blood still lingering It's not enough for me Bit once devour mind and body Ignite the war inside of me Consume only what I need I want it all Held back Held down While the lungs start to swell Dream of this vicious hell Dream of a vicious hell I can only take As much as your body can give It's never enough It's never enough The vein in your throat when You start to scream Is bursting at the seams It's bursting at the seams Don't stay here Another night alone to feel the Wolf inside me tremble Patiently awaiting the hunting ground Another night alone Mindless and undone Another night alone to feel This wolf inside me tremble The hunger is leaving our body exhausted Clutch my hands as my eyes roll back inside my head Dissecting the vacant shell Of an empty man Good blood with bad intentions Teeth sinking in Bridge the gap I've been haunted for so long When the wolf meets the surface to feed

It's so loud I can't take the screaming voices Or the way they pierce right through me Leaving waves in my bones Will this last forever Is there remorse in your fucking veins Eating away this chemical Does the decay keep thriving on This is nothing but a cancer spreading Can you feel the heat from my lungs Oh the way that the past repeats itself These damaged goods I've left them bottled up The darkest shadow on the wall Why is it always haunting me Watching the pieces they're finally falling out Stay motionless just to breathe I'm biting my tongue Trying to find the words I've already ripped them out How can I extend my reach Just to grasp reality This painted home that was placed in front of me What lurks behind these walls What digs into my skin and crawls It's leaving behind The only sense I have left When the night floods my eyes I'm losing this state of mind I've laid my beliefs In the corner of this room I should have burned it I should have burned it down The darkest shadow on the wall Why is it always haunting me Watching the pieces they're finally falling out Stay motionless just to breathe I'm biting my tongue Trying to find the words I've already ripped them out When will they come and take me When will they come and take me I can feel a hand on my shoulder It's bleeding me dry leaving me empty When the light burns out Thinking deeper Turning back into dust
