Bruises
03:42

It’s been a few years since I’ve been giving in
I’ve been pushed around and down right to the floor
All these battles I’m bound to lose
I’m vulnerable, I’m easily bruised
But I’ll pick myself up and lick my wounds
I’m better the more I feel it
You never hit so hard til you said I was weak
But I’m much stronger than you think
My hollow heart is swelling
Like the bruises on my skin
But when they disappear
It shows I’ll always win
My hollow heart is swelling
Like the bruises on my skin
But when they disappear
It shows that I will always win
It’s been a few years since I’ve been practicing
Ways to ease the pain
Relieve the ache and strain
It’s a lesson learnt it’s the life I choose
I’m prone to the world but to die I refuse
And I’ll stitch myself up and pay my dues
I’m doing my best to float on
Don’t you know how hard it is?
Don’t you know just how it feels?
(I feel it coming in, the bruise upon my skin)

Same Routine
03:11
|

|
It’s getting old and the feelings dead
It’s just the same routine rolling through my head
There’s nothing new to live for,
In my head
In my head
Don’t wake me I’m over it
I’m suffering through all of this
You can’t see anything I see
You’re outside the boundary
Of my reality
Holding on to feelings dead
Still got nothing to show for it
I have spent all that I have again
So now I can move on
It’s now or never to keep things steady
I’m not ready
I’m hoping that it all gets better
I’m giving up but I’m still on my feet
I hope it all comes together
Cos right now I’m hopeless and I’m weak
You can’t feel anything I feel
I’m letting this gravity
Ruin my clarity
I’m broken and I’m filled with lead
But everything will always mend
Or maybe I was never meant
To get up and move on

Dwell
03:33
|
|||
|
Said a little too much
Or maybe not enough to keep the light on
So watch me flicker and fade away
Into the dark, to slip away from you
You tear me open
I’ll try not to dwell on you
But you tear me open
Just for once I wish I could forget
Letting you go would be such a blessing
Forget it it’s over don’t want you anymore
Head in the clouds and I’m letting it sink in
This love was all just wishful thinking
Don’t tell me I can’t do anything
Without at least a little taste of it
Just when I think I’m coming up
I always fall back down
Torture my limit
Drink myself to the ground
I need a little less, such a stupid mess
But I’m filling up to get over you
Falling down and spinning ‘round again
Again, my body feels so heavy
I think I’m getting better I’m trying all the time
You’re such a heavy burden on my mind
I think I’m getting better at thinking

Trinkets
03:17
|

|
There’s a lonely trinket on my bedside table
Makes me feel like you never left
It doesn’t make much sense
A piece of plastic on the bench
But it reminds me of the time we spent
When I start to forget
And I’m so sorry
That you couldn’t believe it
That something so small
Could have so much meaning
I need to leave it, leave it alone
You’re taking me over
I’ve tried to compete
You know you’re taking me over
I need a release
You know you’re taking me over
Over and over
There’s a lonely trinket on my bedside table
Makes me feel like you’re always here
Shiny, crystal clear
Just a worthless souvenir
But brings the memories back that I hold dear
When they disappear
You’re taking me over (So much pressure into making this all better)

Second Skin
03:09
|

A scratch on my skin leaves some pain but no scar
The feeling gets deeper but never too far
I’m brittle but guarded there’s no coming in
For exterior forces that pierce my second skin
Another nightmare of losing it all
Quitting the battle in staying strong
These arrows of torment that are fired at me
I’ll never give them
Give them the chance
To wound me
Brother I fear that you’re not quite yourself
Your emotions are swirling
You don’t seem too well
My fear is disguised by the smiles on my face
My petals have wilted, colour erased
Being eaten away no I’m not afraid
No I’m not afraid
No I’m not afraid
It’s harder, to give up and lose
With this armour, protecting my skin
