Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh They all point and laugh They all point and laugh like... Static on the speakers Translation: Too much silence I think I've hit my peak I've grown accustomed to the violence I always feel weak when I compare myself to tyrants, but I feel like I am eye to eye with I and I's own iris Tired of the same ole same The games we play are prepubescent Flirting with mortality, we're glowing iridescent Here rests NKNGS He did his best, but wasn't shit He stressed himself to death I hope he finally found bliss (Yeah right...) Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh They all point and laugh They all point and laugh like... Every morning back breaks from getting out of bed Fell into a pit of snakes Bought every word they said Don't think I have what it takes to conquer existential dread But even if I did, I made this bed So I'ma lie in it Wine and dine my demons 'fore I take them out to pasture Most of those who claim they're loyal, actually some actors Many people hesitant to bite into that apple, because knowledge equals suffering I'll lead them by example Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh They all point and laugh They all point and laugh like...

I've said before That I hate my life One foot out the door One hand on the knife I've washed ashore Like a bottle of wine That's been emptied and quarked With a message inside As I lay me down to sleep I pray your soul my soul to keep I keep a key around my neck I never meant to lack respect I seek forgiveness for my faults I'm not concerned with finding peace I take it with a grain of salt I'm not upset, I'm just obscene But we keep playing these same songs from when we were teens And singing the words wrong Back when we were free and nothing could hurt us Now I look at my old friends and see them struggle to keep calm We've gone from rebels to the cogs we used to laugh about Used to party in a vacant house while Chris' mom was out of town Laying on the driveway, tripping Looking at the stars It almost took away from all the pain from cuts that turned to scars I've said before That I hate my life One foot out the door One hand on the knife I've washed ashore Like a bottle of wine That's been emptied and quarked With a message inside

Broken mirror That's seven years of bad luck I must have broke a dozen or this punishment don't add up Try to find a reason Turns out I'm just a sad fuck Try to steer clear of where my failures let the crowd judge Now what? Tower over everyone I've ever known Just so I can keep my head down I stay as still as stone I'm not alone But some days it might feel that way And if I need to cope, I don't need you to tell me how to pray Just get out of my way Everybody's suffering Everything is different than it was when we were seventeen Douse myself in gasoline Strike a match and cause a scene Swallow my Fluoxetine Chase it down with kerosene I'm evergreen Forever blue I'm stuck between The darkest hues Give me that cold blood So I don't have to pick my battles Give my that bold front So I don't have to feel so rattled Give me that old gun And anything they send I'll handle I zip my coat up and watch my life slowly unravel So mirror, mirror shattered on the floor It's such a chore Just to wake up from the dreamland that I live in anymore Kick the door in Find me hiding under bed like scared child Forget what it is to feel happy, hopeful and beguiled Into the wild I've wandered in a hazy state Walk into a rose bush Beauty is the biggest pain I feel the ache Nothing will ever be the same I'm not okay But everything is fucking great I'm evergreen Forever blue I'm stuck between The darkest hues

I don't want to feel anything, anymore Laying on my back Bleeding out on the bathroom floor I don't want to feel anything, anymore No flora No Fawnna No fading this song out No favor to a god could bring your presence back upon us If Nirvana exists, then I hope that you have found it If not, I hope that nothingness is better than your life was Hung up on the typos Hanging like some type of tapestry of life goals One eye like a cyclops Empty words when I talk Emotions in I sulk Never watch where I walk Darkness to which I flock Stuck on the expression, not intent If life's a lesson I can see the reason you abandoned shipwreck Trust me when I lesson life to nothing but a question with no answer I could give a shit less I don't want to feel anything, anymore Laying on my back Bleeding out on the bathroom floor I don't want to feel anything, anymore Never mind the distance If you would have called, I would have been there in an instant If you needed anything, you know I would have gifted But nothing that I could have done would change your ill persistence You had a goal and you pursued it The truth is I envy your courage to follow through If you didn't have a child your choices would be for you But you abandoned hope, so what do you expect them to do? And nothing's been the same since Aimless, I wander through the days graceless Made to face this No basis, I'm wasting away I hate to say I think about you every single day, but... I don't want to feel anything, anymore Laying on my back Bleeding out on the bathroom floor I don't want to feel anything, anymore

Tears for Fears Apparently all my peers and I... Everybody wants to rule the world but can't decide If the trade off is worth it Ear to ear I smiled Past tense Back then I was a cheerful guy Fulfillment in the form of party afternoons Had ice cream cake Assortment of balloons Mother sent .JPEG's worn from the disposable she would shoot Photo with her phone Look at you So cute So happy back when Used to wake up laughing, till you went back to bed Then she said, "Well, when came all the gloom?" Told her that life hadn't beaten me down yet Stuck the tool in my mouth Knocked my tooth out Oof, ouch 'Fore I was a booze hound Every six months used to move round Who's house? No clue now Mind blown like a nuke, now When did life become some futile? All my memories are photographs of better days I tried to push you away But you still love me anyway Forgive and forget Art born from death I swore that I would never step foot in these parts again Can't sleep Head is full of regrets Can't speak unless I scream from my chest Cast me into the sea like a net I got a lot of bad habits that I need to address and accept Except, I wasn't always like this But time spent thinking is time spent lifeless And I've spent years in my head Fought tears back instead of the fear that I felt being used to progress If it seems like I'm distant It's because I am If I hold my breathe long enough There won't be none left Obsessed with the upset Watch as the sky burns red from the sunset Unsteady chemistry Words turn to weaponry Leave them in memory of everything that ever meant anything to me Peace to the sky Take my last breathe and then I dive Leave no reason why All my memories are photographs of better days I tried to push you away But you still love me anyway
