Thorns -

Wake up in pain, mind is racing
Is this what everyone else feels?

The dread rises, comfort subsides
Is it truly possible to heal?

Can’t dream, it hurts too much
Please release

Can’t dream, it hurts too much
No relief

Chest keeps tightening, jaw is clenching
Inside feels like it’s on fire
Body’s failing all the time
Pretend everything is fine

And the thoughts, they just seem endless
Head is filled with too much noise
Ignoring that horrid voice
Try to find a sense of poise

There’s no hope, or that is how it feels
Glued to the bed, can’t live but not dead

No progress, no escape from the wheel
So tired, all this pain long acquired

Can’t dream, it hurts too much
Please release

Can’t dream, it hurts too much
No relief

Torn Apart -

It is, exhausting, trying, to be myself
The ghosts, from my past, destroy, my mental health
It is, exhausting, trying, to be myself
Fear of, those feelings, kills me, and overwhelms
me, I, sink, in, to, the, sun’s, core

It’s the things inside, my head
Make me wish instead, for death
Know that it won’t solve, my dread
I try to remind my self that

It’s all hollow
It’s all empty

This isn’t a problem, it’ll all be fine
If I could just learn to, learn to accept it, in time
And I have never understood why life is like this
I need to just learn to, accept it, in time

It is, exhausting, trying, to be myself
The ghosts, from my past, destroy, my mental health
It is, exhausting, trying, to be myself
Fear of, those feelings, kills me, and overwhelms

Before I even came up with any words, you told me this was the saddest song I ever wrote
Bet you didn’t think it’d get this bad, huh?
Well I’m sorry, I don’t want to keep writing sad songs, but happy ones don’t come out
This is all I know how to do

This isn’t a problem, it’ll all be fine
If I could just learn to, learn to accept it, in time
And I have never understood why life is like this
I need to just learn to, accept it, in time

Status Quo -

Well I work all day and that’s my life
I don’t even sleep at night
Cuz I’ve got debt and bills to pay
Thank the lord for the USA

I work all day and that’s my life
I don’t even sleep at night
Cuz I’ve got debt and bills to pay
Thank the lord for the USA

Fuck

I don’t care what you want
I don’t care what you need
All I see is money
I feed the machine

You’re sick?
Get fucked
Who’s the next one up?

Indoctrinate the youth and make them pay for our mistakes
Design the game so they can’t save a fucking thing have it all break
And burn the planet to forsake those left behind inside my wake
Because all I see is money and I will feed the machine

Stop playing their game

Waves -

It’s hard to describe the feeling to someone who don’t know what it’s like
Imagine the dread and fear inside you, from watching a scary movie
That’s how I live my life all of the time, it destroys my psyche
I’m a burden to the ones I love, because I let this feeling consume me

I tried to fix, all of this
I tried to heal, tried to feel
In the end, all there is
Is this pain, try in vain
To release, all of it
In this song, know it’s wrong
Now you know, my secret
Hold me dear, relieve my fear

Please understand
I don’t want to hurt anyone
It’s just too much, the pain has already won
I tried and I tried, and I’ve lied and I’ve lied,
Oh yes I’ve cried and I’ve cried but I can’t get free
Please, don’t hate me, if I don’t have the strength to hold on

My anxiety is killing me

I’m so sorry
