lyrics
--------
i am quickly realizing
all the problems that i'm facing
all exist inside this hatred
for myself my thoughts are racing
is there anybody out there
feeling dim, dark & depleting
what is safe cause all i fear is near
& death i'll soon be greeting
i truly wish the flickering would stop
& i could catch my breath
but this films left on repeat again
somehow you soon forget 
you've damn near downed your second bottle
drunken words in full effect
these sober thoughts have always lived here
driving by until they wreck

i'm fucking numb
(yeah)
you don't know a thing about the terror that i breathe into my lungs
and i don't know a thing about myself other than what is soon to come

i think the sky is falling
but it's my imagination
overcasting on & off again
to form a new foundation
hopefully i reconstruct myself
it might take quite a while
obsolete upon comparison
these scars all stretch for miles
i'll never find the person i was then
he's buried deep below
subterranean inhabitant
i hope he likes the snow
did the soul inside his body
ever find his way back home
am i talking in third person
yeah i guess we'll never know

i'm fucking numb
(yeah)
you don't know a thing about the terror that i breathe into my lungs
and i don't know a thing about myself other than what is soon to come

dim, dark, depleting

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Lyrics: 

See me as your enemy, or see me as your friend
It is 19 months since I was there, and held you in my hand
It is 18 since I told you, and you took away my name

Now when you saw me, you turned away your head
You won't forgive me, and I will understand
Now and then

Used to be your future, now you see me as your end
When you're hiding, we're colliding
Better be, and stop pretend
I was silent, you were blind
Better leave those fears behind

If you're still bleeding, see me as a friend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then
Now and then

You won't believe me
Won't be an end
I know you're done, ignored and gone, but I'm around
If you see light in fighting me, you'll be your enemy

And still today, you will not pretend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then

Now & Then

Lyrics:
Time and time again I think I’m falling through space and I wakeup in my bed just sweating in sheets
Remembering my name but it don’t sound the same 
Daylight come and save me from the 2am creeps

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart

Hold me up again or I can count on the wall
Just a temporary panic that I can’t seem to beat
Stranger in the mirror his smile makes me shiver
He wears my features and grinds my teeth

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old

Darkness it comes and puts me in place
I’m a prisoner babe you know I can’t escape
Take all you want take all you can take
But the shadow of age is every step of the way
And it’s day by day it’s all I can take of it
And it’s day by day its all I can chase

Time and time again I think I’ve pulled it together but something’s so familiar that’s unraveling me
I’ll forget my name every evenings the same
Frozen on my back just praying for sleep

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you as the night grows cold and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old
