Fucking Sick Of It

(I have been in pain my entire and I am fucking sick of it)
The salted water calls
The floating world dissolves
And inside here is a truth of sorts
CH: And time goes on
But soon I'll be gone
Stagnant pools, forgetfulness
Too tired for angry words
My bitterness buried by liquidity
What is left now is on repeat
What is left now is on repeat
CH: And time goes on
But soon, very soon I'll be gone
(I am done)
CH x 4
CH: And time goes on and on
Even when everything we've known
Is gone
But soon, very soon I'll be gone

Lay me down
On this barren, sodden ground
With the rain teeming down
From dirty grey, low clouds
And I might drown if I don't move
So I'm not going anywhere soon
'Cause everything, but really nothing
Has all gone wrong
Because it was never right in the first place
Now and I don't know
Because I've never known
What it means to be
Here, there or anywhere
No, no, no
I am I still here
Or am I over there now?
Watching in silence
The water rising over me
And only these blackened, unforgiving skies
For my company
See everything, but really nothing
Has all gone wrong
Because it was never right in the first place
Now and I don't know
Because I've never known
What it means to be
Here, there or anywhere
No, no, no
Wll my, my, my
Can I ever touch these skies?
My, my, my
Let me know if I can touch your skies
Everything, but really nothing
Has all gone wrong
Because it was never right in the first place
Now and I don't know
Because I've never known
What it means to be
Here, there or anywhere
Now everything, but really nothing
Has all gone wrong
Yeah everything, but really nothing
Has all gone wrong
Because it was never right in the first place

In A Solid State
04:08

My cold hearted, hardened heart
Knows no other way
In the fire of its catacombs
And on and on its wretched way
Lift yourself up
I hear you say
But the end is here essentially
CH: Here we are
And there we've been
In a static and solid state
Whatever that could mean
In behind these hollow eyes
I keep all the stolen misery
I hear the calls and I hear the cries
Of the memories lost wanting back in
Hold me down and stuff my mouth
With pages from a wet magazine

Shoulder

The sky's arms enfold
Envelop my tired soul
I reach for inside
To stay now in my mind
There's nothing but you
And you cannot be found
CH: I'm way down in a hole
On the shoulder of the road
Down on my kness
On the shoulder of the road
Inside this wasted place
With all the bitterness raining down
I could rescue or I could watch
The long silence of forgotten times
The light now it has gone
To all the places I could never go, so
All I have now is my time
So much wasted time

(Is this now?)
I know now
Why I'm here
You're calling me
With pain in your voice
And coming to me
With pain in your eyes
And holding me
With tears on your face
And kissing me
With no emotion
Hold me
Under the water
Until I have drowned
By your hand
I don't know
Is this here?
Where are we
With the lights all gone now?
And who calls to me
In soft, cold tones?
The lost and the found
The great unknown
Never was a sound
I could call my own now
Never was a sound
I could call my own
Hold me
Under the water
Until I have drowned
Please
Hold me
Under the water
Until I have drowned
By your hand
(I haven't been happy one minute of my entire fucking life)

I am ugly
I am diseased
Floating on turgid seas
In an ocean of misery
The calm before, before the storm
The darkness before the dawn
They are tropes of dismissive kind
The blind lead on the blind
The clouds above mock me so
From nothing to something they go
Then to nothing they go again
They seem to whisper just to me to ...
CH: Go away
And leave today
All the problems and strife you've caused
All the pain and fatal flaws
Yeah best you go
And leave well alone
Best you go to places to unknown
Best you go while you still still can
What to say when there is nothing left to say?
Where to go when you're just bereft
The sky, the clouds, the sun and the moon they decide
That the time now is to be despised
On narrow tracks of what I do not know
That I set out on
For me to never return

The Head Figure
03:07

In my hands the great plans
The final stand
Of who I am
And the falls and the light
They're interspersed
To what must take its course
CH: To wrack and to ruin
For me this was just the beginning
And any good that was inside of me
Was long ago lost permamnently
My father
Wracked and ruined
Raised me up
To meet his blind eye
To become what he became
To become what he became
Buried in a blameless game
Buried in a blameless game
There are reasons to live
And resons to die

Is that the first or the last train?
And am I in that space again
In the silence before the dawn?
Forlorn
Here I sit and here I sift
Through the things I need to forget
To be what others see
A good man
Am I guilty of everything said?
And the questions left unsaid?
When will I be done with it all
And take my leave
CH: And the world sleeps when I cannot sleep
And I have this pain but it feels like a lie
A slow burn consuming me
But I don't wanna go even though I'm dead inside
Of me all the lies and deceit
A slow burn consuming ne
So I should go but I'm weak like my memory
Is this first or the last time
I will sing to girls of broken kind?
World's away and out of reach
In every way
Silence breaks with dawn's first light
And I see mistakes etched on my face
I lie to those I lie about
A disgrace

I am sick and I'm tired
I'm sick, tired and drawn
So sick and tired of it all
Ill will toward all men
And all women
And all the children from them
'Cause I am sick and I'm tired
I'm sick, tired and drawn
So sick and tired of it all
Ill will to the sun in the sky
And the moon and the stars
And all the space in between
'Cause I am sick and I'm tired
I'm sick, tired and drawn
So sick and tired of it all
Ill will toward my father's lust
And my mother's acceptance
And the results that were us
Because I am sick and I'm tired
I'm sick, tired and drawn
So sick and tired of it all
