12/31/2015 || Record Collapse || Emotional Warfare

Month Arc:

 Record Collapse

 

Yearly Arc:

Emotional Warfare


This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady something empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
(Holding on to what I haven't got!) Though the words sound steady something empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
(Holding on to what I haven't got!) Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear.

New Year's Resolution:

Grow, character.


(Happy new year!)

Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take

I’ve felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing
Confusing what is real

True Colors of the World

Quote:

The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade
We said it was forever but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade

The final masquerade
The final masquerade
Standing at the end of the final masquerade

Verge of Collapse

Quote:

These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh, it peels
During this ride we can cut up what we like
(I’m about to break)
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring

Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up!
(Blood is pouring)
Shut up!
(Blood is pouring)
Shut up!
(Blood is pouring)
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up!
(Blood is pouring)
Shut up!
(Blood is pouring)
Shut up!
Blood is pouring
Shut up!
I’m about to break!

Scars

Quote:

When I look into your eyes there nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stay
When you just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
~Linkin Park - P5hng Me Aw*y [Reanimation]

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go

Crushing Isolation Till Reconcilation

Quote:

And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things that I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

To break it back down

To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

Theme:

No Man's Doors

Quote:

One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
Were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
But stretched away unto the edge of doom.

I should not be withheld but that some day
into their vastness I should steal away,
Fearless of ever finding open land,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.

I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track
To overtake me, who should miss me here
And long to know if still I held them dear.

They would not find me changed from him the knew--
Only more sure of all I though was true.
~Robert Frost - Into My Own

Troubled Mind, Troubled Time

Quote:

No
At the top of our lungs,
There's no
No such thing as too young,
Second chances won't leave you alone

No
We'll repeat it again,
There's no
No such thing as too young,
Second chances won't leave you alone,
'Cause there's faith in...


Love
If you kiss me goodnight,
I'll know
Everything is alright,
Second chances won't leave us alone,
Won't leave us alone,

'Cause there's faith in love

Wavering on the Edge

Quote:

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because

I run
And the silence splits me open
I run
And it puts me underground
But there's no regret
And no roads left to run

Quote:

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree

Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream


Well, you can't get what you want

But you can get me
So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

(One minute you're on top!)
The next you're not, watch it drop
(Making your heart stop!)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top!)
Next you're not, missed your shot
(Making your heart stop!)
You think you've won
(And then its all gone)

...don't
Wake me 'til the morning after

To the pain I feel
When I'm awake and alive
Alive
Alive
Alive and I'm dreamin'
