Lyrics:
You open up your eyes and see it,
but something left you in the process.
All this hurt won't bring myself to feel.
My tears just soak into the dirt,
so I stand upon the mud I've created,
as the engineer of my own entrapment.
I lift my feet to represent a motion.
It doesn't happen very often.
There's infinite ways to remedy the pain.
I've lost all memory.
The pain's the remedy.
I have no face,
I'm just a body stuck in place,
with no expressions left to trace.
I am my own disgrace.
All my friends have moved away,
even the ones standing right in front of me.
I can barely tolerate myself,
so why do I love you when I can't even love myself?
Something's left me in the dark.
My life's a Sisyphus analogy.
I often question if I have a heart,
until I feel it break apart.
Please don't go,
I can't be left alone,
it's the only thing I know.
Please don't leave me alone.
Please don't leave me alone,
Because no act is large enough,
to show me that I'm loved.
I don't deserve your love.
I don't deserve your love,
Because all I do is complain.
It shouldn't mean this much to me.
I've been the problem from the start.
I deserve more pain than life imparts.
I'm bloodied,
fallen to my knees,
and yet I still don't feel a thing.
I don't feel anything.

Lyrics:

I think the page is torn in two,
but I still see something there,
just like before,
just like I used to.
I've been feeling stagnant for a while,
but I know I'm moving,
just in the wrong direction.
I thought I was good at wasting time,
but now it can't move fast enough;
I'm always waiting for tomorrow.
I have seen the bluest skies rise,
just to turn sour,
as the streets become an outdoor shower.

The only way to feel the tide,
is to jump into the ocean.
The only way to feel alright,
is to feel nothing.
I'm drowning again.

The sun's long faded into dawn.
The sights I used to see are gone.
I don't think that I can sink much further.
Please open up the basement door,
so I can see what I saw before.
It seems every step I take to reach you,
just brings me deeper down the floor,
but if I dig down to my lowest,
I may emerge the other side,
with a new found clarity,
that makes this worth my deafening decline.

I've embraced you.
Have I abased you?
I want the truth.
I want the truth from you.

I've come to feel,
like what I feel,
is what I feel,
when it's not felt by you.

I'm staring blank into perception,
pretending there is no horizon.
The ocean's draining off the edge,
of what I said,
which was nothing to begin with.
When I'm walking down the street,
the nihilists look in my direction,
just to tell me,
"I have problems that I'll probably never solve."

I see the moon up in the sky.
As it shifts slowly to my right,
it creates a rainbow circle in the clouds.
When I think it's disappeared,
I look to see that it's still here,
shining on me,
while I'm singing in the dark.

In abasement.
