You burned me like a witch And watched the flames fade out Every word you said Cut like a knife You burned me like a witch And watched the flames fade out Every word you said Cut like a knife Mistakes were made But I can't ignore I can't ignore You don't know me You don't know me You don't know me anymore You don't know me anymore You don't know me anymore You don't know me anymore Flames at my feet Black smoke is rising But you're burning next

Clarity 01:15
The overwhelming emotions have repeated So many times that I can't even feel them My head is heavy, and I just crave rest There is so much sadness in everything That even good is met with guilt Pulling myself together Avoiding the constant hesitance Darkness then pulls over And I'm not sure what's left of me I'm getting violent With the monsters in my head I'm threatening clarity I'm getting violent With the monsters in my head I'm threatening clarity
3.
The worst part is assuming the worst And that it won't be okay But I'm not sure Trying to get better Trying not to give in I will work on myself And it seems like the bodies have doubled They're cracking the walls I'm crooked, hazy, unsettled, absent, creased But showing up anyway And it seems like the bodies have doubled They're cracking the walls I'm crooked, hazy, unsettled, absent, creased But showing up anyway Showing up anyway Showing up anyway I'm crooked, hazy, unsettled, absent, creased But showing up anyway

No Home 01:24
Twist the knife when you try to go back home Now you know that you are always alone Call from the darkest recess These people pulling me A distant tear-shaped fragment Reflects infinity Don't bother trying You're wasting time Expending effort Pushing the lines No home No home No home Can't sit still with this feeling in my stomach In this situation, can't say that I love it
5.
Worthless 01:15
Slaves of apes Look to the sky Burrow down Prepare to die Inbreeding Worthless lives Still breathing Prepare to die Bulging veins still twitching Bursting vessels in your eyes Fluids seeping down drains It's a futile exercise Internal organs now twisting A mother's piercing cries Keep it quiet Keep it down Fur bristling Cower now 'cause it's the last day of your life Know this sound Know your kin are listening You can't protect their hides You can't protect them
6.
Spit 01:09
My knife is forgotten at the table You have yours, aggressive and able You try and take my body for your own You said I had to You said I had to because I owed you You said I had to because I owed you I fucking owe you shit And I'll fight so madly and spit Your existence is a low life class And I'll keep breaking this glass And I'll keep breaking this glass And I'll keep breaking this glass And I'll keep breaking this glass
7.
Pavement 01:38
Your eyes are glued to cement Waiting for the cracked pavement All those sights and sounds are all left behind Where are we going You told me earlier you imagined yourself Floating and that you needed this to stop I never really understood those words You're beyond my reach And now it all starts here With a tingling rush To all limbs You got me on high alert, anticipating But nothing's happening yet
8.
Lost Boy 00:43
I never wanted to be let out Will I ever find my home again Will this cold pavement be my end This parasitic burden on my chest It won't let me rest Let me rest
9.
Don't 01:23
Don't fucking touch me Don't put your hands on me You don't own me Their always there In the back of my mind Haunting my body I can't make them go away No, I won't bend No, I won't break
10.
I watched as you peacefully drifted away Your body was an untainted vessel To them next deceased Death and dying I know the strain that she put on you Even after her death This guilt remains She was the best for you I know you knew it You're not letting go This is no lasting standard In my grief there will be no shame This is no lasting standard You're not letting go This is no lasting standard In my grief there will be no shame This is no lasting standard You're not letting go This is no lasting standard In my grief there will be no shame This is no lasting standard You're not letting go This is no lasting standard In my grief there will be no shame This is no lasting standard
