This is a call
To all my brothers
From now until the end
This is a call

Desensitised
03:59
|

Desensitised to your problems
Desensitised to the world
Am I taking the easy way out?
The power and will to take a chance
Apathy building up in me
Taking over and shifting me
Light breaks through but still no one can see
Air breaks through but still no one can breathe
Feeble minds have extinguished the spark
Becoming numb to society
Like an evil virus spreading
It’s blinding me, I can’t see the truth
It’s killing me and blinding you
Like an evil virus spreading
It’s draining me and killing you
Always the same
Never will change
Now ignite the flame
This journey begins with a single step
Growing together, fighting together
How much is enough
Gaining perception of reality
Submission
Broken
Not civil
Peril
Release the answer
But where is it found?
Slow steps forward
Already blistered
Need to stand strong
Lifelong struggle between right and wrong
Light breaks through but still no one can see
Air breaks through but still no one can breathe
Feeble minds have extinguished the spark
Becoming numb to society
The only thing that’s standing in our way
Is the lies we keep telling ourselves
Time has come, we must bind together
So we can improve tomorrow
I’m sick of hearing it, sick of seeing it
There’s no benefit, living with the split
I keep hearing it, sick and tired
Desensitised
Desensitised
Desensitised

Aftertaste

Sifting through deceit
In search of hope
But never finding anything
Sifting through deceit
In search of hope
But never finding anything
Feels like the end of the world
No compromise, no sacrifice
Feels like the end of the world
No compromise, no sacrifice
Loosen my grip on you
These memories are haunting me
No regrets but a bitter aftertaste
Release my sorrow
These memories are dragging me down
No regrets just a bitter aftertaste
You promised me
You promised to keep, everything we had
Missing something, it’s not each other
It hurts to say
I promised you, I promised to keep
Everything we had
Take one last look, just say goodbye
Just say goodbye
Afraid to live with
Afraid to live without
I’m playing with my own life
Truth or dare motherfucker
This has caused my world to shake
Waiting for things to fall in line
I still remember you
Do you remember me?
How many times must I lie to myself?
How many times? How many times?
How many times must I lie to myself?
How many times? How many times?
Overwhelming feelings crashing over me
Over my head, I’m drowning
I thought I was just taking my time
You took my mind instead

Catch The Dream

Release myself from these shackles
From this height I feel so much lighter
Everything that I’ve fucking worked for
Should be torn down in your eyes
Don’t be swayed by the sights you’re seeing
Hold on to the path you’ve chosen
Don’t be swayed by the thoughts they tell you
Only you have the answer, don’t lose it
Get out of my way
I embrace my desire to catch the dream
Get out of my way
I’ll roll the dice, not wasting time on you
Relative to a dream
These worthless thoughts won’t continue to bind me
Relative to a dream
I’ve realised I can do this on my own
On my own
On my own
I will not wait for the fallout
I will stand tall and break out
Everything that I’ve fucking worked for
Should be torn down in your eyes
I will last
The more you push, the harder I will resist
Get out of my way
I embrace my desire to catch the dream
Get out of my way
I’ll roll the dice, not wasting time on you
Relative to a dream
These worthless thoughts won’t continue to bind me
Relative to a dream
I’ve realised I can do this on my own
On my own
On my own

Doing the same
But expecting a change
It must be dawn soon
Coz it can’t get any darker
Am I watching my life go by?
There’s litter in my mind
Not just killing time
Hesitation has taken over
Uncomfortable in my skin
Brave faces and fake smiles
Tedious recovery
Every day is a struggle
Don’t throw it away
And lose everything
Keep moving forward
From where you fell
Every step you take
Is a move you make
And puts you one step
Further from this small hell
One more step forward
Feels like I’m tainted now
One more step forward
Wearing out
I’m wearing thin
I’m at my wits end
Hold myself together
I just want to hide
Who do I ask for help?
Nobodies walked in my shoes
Who do I ask for help?
Don’t throw it away
And lose everything
Keep moving forward
From where you fell
Every step you take
Is a move you make
And puts you one step
Further from this small hell
Don’t throw it away
And lose everything
Keep moving forward
From where you fell
Every step you take
Is a move you make
And puts you one step
Further in this small hell
On my way down
Reaching inside of me
Detached and down
On my last breath now
I can’t break this misery
Will not be my final thought
I can’t break this misery
Will not be my final thought

Ghosting

Never wanted to go this far
Always wanted to take the chance
Never wanted to leave a scar
Never wanted fucking romance
Never wanted to go this far
Through the heart like a spear
Never wanted to leave a scar
Always wanted to be sincere
I didn’t see this coming
I couldn’t read it in your eyes
I didn’t see this coming
Temptation has spike my frame of mind
Put the brakes on
Look forward
It’s all in front of me
I can feel you leading the way
Begging for me to stay
So I change my point of view
And it does not involve you
I know that I am part to blame
Going too far to hide the fucking shame
Feels like my mind has been torn in two
And I don’t know what to do
I can feel you leading the way
Begging for me to stay
So I change my point of view
And it does not involve you
One of a kind and out of her mind
Broke the mould and left in the cold
Dysfunctional in a heart beat
It’s time to turn this around
I lost myself looking for thrills
My choices have led to this
Temptation has spike my frame of mind
I can feel you leading the way
Begging for me to stay
So I change my point of view
And it does not involve you
I know that I am part to blame
Going too far to hide the fucking shame
Feels like my mind has been torn in two
And I don’t know what to do
I can feel you leading the way
Begging for me to stay
So I change my point of view
And it does not involve you
(I can hear you begging for me to stay)
Nothing good can come of this
Feels like I will break in two
Wish farewell with one last kiss
Wishing one of us withdrew
(I can hear you begging for me to change)
Still I don’t what this is
And I don’t know what to do
So I change my point of view
So I can’t see you
