Intro/Losses 03:19
Did what I had to just to survive Numbed my brain and reddened my eyes Abandoned hope, devoid of faith FIlled my mind with self hate What I learned was what I knew I was never good enough for you What I realised was the truth I never fucking needed you What we once had we don't have no more Left those feelings with the person I was before You keep your distance We aren't the same I gave you love but you chose pain I gave you love You chose your pain We'll never be the same But no longer do I live that lie And through the pain I see that I Have grown stronger through these trials Learned to forget the way you smiled So consider this my goodbye Grateful that for the first time I can see without being blinded Look to the future with my past behind me Well I survived the storm Collected my things and then moved on And through it all You just severed your ties and built your walls

A Memory 01:45
I'm livin' with a thorn in my side And we always talk as if it's just fine I take comfort in what is mine And try to look past these darker times We all hurt, all make mistakes Some just can't stand the time it takes To heal old wounds that cut so deep I think it's best that we don't speak Because my words get wasted on the weak And I took my time, I watched you leave Look at you now, how much you've changed I wouldn't know you if not for your name But those years aren't dead to me I just blocked them from my memory I'll let them back eventually When I know that you remember me Those years aren't dead to me Just blocked from my memory I'll let them back eventually When I know you remember me And how things used to be I woulda called you family But you turned your cheek so easily And how quick you were to forget me When did you decide you were better than us And when did you decide enough was enough And my best was never good enough

The Struggle 03:11
Choked out by the hands of time Worn down and numb from the daily grind Feelings are merely an inconvenience To the men who decide how free your freedom is Clock in Clock out There is no way out I made mine I spent more Drink until we hit the floor Locked in to the 9 to 5 Forget what it means to be alive Save to the system no difference made Kept in line, always behave I'm sinking into the deep end Forgot what it means to be a real friend Lost touch with everyone i know In this place that I call my home Unleash the shackles of society I just want to be free I'm all alone inside my head I'm writing in these songs Dreaming I was dead Scared of uncertainty And business based on misery Locked in to the 9 to 5 Forget what it means to be alive Save to the system no difference made Kept in line, always behave I'm sinking into the deep end Forgot what it means to be a real friend Lost touch with everyone i know In this place that i call my home There is only one thing that I know for sure I need you more than each day needs it sun I need you more than each night needs its moon And just like the break of dawn or the fall of night These moments of love are all over too soon

I'm so tired of soul searching Blackened tongues and lies have set this Mind ablaze with inner grief With weary eyes, i never sleep I live in chaos, always searching for peace And watch these tears fall at my feet Where is your god when you are On your knees Torn into pieces by reality I just can't believe in your divinity Searched high and low for a key Trying to find some clarity But still struggle with my own mortality Born to live, love, and then die There's no more time to be found in the skies Born from pain As a part of the lie Conditioned to hate, hurt, and cry I see how much you have changed I let a piece of myself fade away You brought me only misery Never forget, still etched in my memory
