Lyrics

Shaking hands, cannot catch my breath,
It’s 3am and I’m scared to death,
My darkest side, has come alive…

Can’t hide the hell I live in every day,
You say its just a phase, I’ll be okay,
What you can’t feel, must not be real…

I wear my heart here on my sleeve,
But you can’t see, no one sees….

This is killing me, I can barely breathe,
No one knows what is inside of me,
Too late to fit in, don’t you dare pretend,
You know what it’s like, to watch the world outside,
While you’re buried alive…

Six feet under still no one can hear,
My cry for help falling on deaf ears,
So desperate for, your attention whore…

Tell me why anyone would pretend,
And choose a life they would want to end
And ever feed, this anxiety…

Here on the surface everything seems fine,
But here beneath my skin I’m running out of time…


This is killing me, I can barely breathe,
No one knows what is inside of me,
Too late to fit in, don’t you dare pretend,
You know what it’s like, to watch the world outside,
While you’re buried alive…

Faceless I've been paralyzed, 
But I won’t be silent one more day,
I've come too far to say I'm sorry,
I will live, to tell my story…

This is killing me, I can barely breathe,
No one know, no one knows…
Too late to fit in, don’t you dare pretend,
You know what it’s like, to watch the world outside,
While you’re buried alive…

This is killing me, I can barely breathe,
No one knows, no one knows me…

Mess of Me

Those who feel the most invisible may be fighting the ugliest battles.

Gunshot Lullabies

Victim shaming forces some to keep secrets that can be deadly.

My Little Secret

Sometimes we make the same mistakes for so long, we lose complete trust in ourselves.

Forever Damned

When we recognize our demons for what they are, they lose their power over us.

The Cage

There is no relationship more abusive than addiction.

Make Hate to Me

If you've been through hell and survived, you are a miracle worth celebrating.
