Bind Me A Wreath

1.
Reject hope, reject fear Keep pushing, remember what's real No God, just love No God, just love Reject the burning sun Resist the turning moons Reject the liars who Sell you fate and superstitions Words creep out of their mouths like locusts Drown them out with all the noise in infinity And keep writhing, keep eating your tail No hope, no fear No hope, no fear Taste your failures, embrace the pain Inhale disappointment, exhale rage Exhale rage

Exhale Rage 02:23
I've grown so tired of being angry So very weary of seeing dark clouds All the time, trying to hold back the bile From gushing through my teeth When every word and every smile Make me cringe and I've tried To make a better man out of me To become the best that I could be With results varying from bad to worse So I'll take my time And I'll bite my tongue And I'll tread that road once more To hell with good intentions You paint me a perfect picture And I'll find you a flaw You give me all you have And I'll tear it apart
3.
My cheeks are heavy, my eyelids worn Lungs are shot and veins torn Knees bent, blistered palms Mind spent, failed plans This modern life is a thresher Nothing works out ever So this is the life now This is how it'll be from now on So this is a life now? What a fucking headache A hangover to last me a decade Traded friends for a career plan Lose it, and it's Diazepam I need a pill or a hundred I need at least a dozen drinks I need a lap to relapse into I need somebody to hold my head I'll let it be whoever Day by day we wither away When we inherit this circle
4.
Branches of silver Woven like web Crawl into the sun To become one They're set alight Fractures against the sky Come sunshine Your body entwined with mine Hearts combined We tear down the sky Pulsing to the same beat Steely fingers rip through my back I lose my breath Blow life into you You moan words of love and devotion But I'm just not there You used to be all I had But as love gives way to resentment You've become dead to me It's claimed that lies hurt The biggest lie that I've heard It's not the false that breaks hearts But the truth that tears us apart

Skin Turner 03:46
Now that we're acquainted and you couldn't think less of me Let me open up to deaf ears and refusing eyes The worst thing anyone's ever said to me is "You're the worst thing that's ever happened to me" The worst thing I've ever said is "I love you" when I didn't mean it I keep saying we’ll be alright ‘cause I’m a liar I keep holding your head as I think we’re dying I keep saying we’ll be alright ‘cause I’m a liar I keep holding your head as I think we’re dying I think we’re dying ‘cause you’re pulling me down You’re pulling me down Our apartment is so quiet Lying with our backs turned

I had never felt better until I had never felt worse I had never felt better until I had never felt worse I had never felt better until I had never felt worse I had never felt better until I had never felt worse It'll be alright, I'm still young I have time for wounds to heal And for deeper ones to appear And I blame you And I blame you Blame you for all you've done Blame you for all you are

Wreath 01:33

I've spent forever and ever Trying to fill this page A white sheet of paper A sign of surrender Paralysing hatred and empty space Nothing I say really takes I'm all used up I've become a mourner Since you pulled away from me Since we broke my spine cracked like a twig I effectively lost my centre And I'm decidedly on the decline Been kicking these walls for too long To realise what really went wrong No wonder I'm all alone again Empty eyes, I'm an empty space I suppose it's high time to clear the air And lay it all out there Own up to the shit I've done And the mistakes I've made Being selfish, being an asshole Being distant and drifting away Not being there when you needed me Because it's always all about me I know I come across as bitter But there's just so much sadness you can take Before it rubs off on you I need to be wanted, not needed If you ever want anything Best be prepared to lose it Because everything expires Everything eventually dies And the process of healing Becomes an endless campaign of getting even It's not your fault but mine; No one could ever hurt me like I could No one could ever hurt me like I could
