​Buried

 

So many ways to do it wrong
My body aches but not my soul
But it never really goes away
All of the needless guilt and shame
Let's pray

We have gathered here
So we can see
If there's relief
From all the fear
And disbelief
If you were here
You let me down
And if you weren't then you let me go again

Buried deep within my mind
I follow you
Every prayer marks a scar
And I tear myself apart
Thinking I owe you
As I slip into the dark
As I slip into the dark

I'll not be made
(To live in pieces)
Thoughtless and shamed
(No rest for the wicked)
As you sell eternity
As you put a price on my soul
Everybody's listening
Let's pray

We have gathered here
So we can see
If there's relief
From all the fear
And disbelief
If you were here
You let me down
And if you weren't then you let me go again

Buried deep within my mind
I follow you
Every prayer marks a scar
And I tear myself apart
Thinking I owe you
As I slip into the dark
As I slip into the dark

I told you get your hands off me
Right now my time has been wasted
This time my patience has faded
Do you realize what you hold on to
Is the very thing that died
Liar
But you intrigue me
One day I'll find what you started
Liar
Picture us both
As I burn down to the ground
All you love

Maybe my time is coming up
I hope I'm right this time around
After all that's gone wrong I
I think it's time I move on

Buried deep within my mind
I follow you
Every prayer marks a scar
And I tear myself apart
Thinking I owe you
As I slip into the dark
As I slip into the dark

Buried deep within my mind
I follow you
Every prayer marks a scar
Every prayer marks a scar
And I tear myself apart
Thinking I owe you
As I slip into the dark
As I slip into the dark

 

My Expense

​

Were you even thinking

When you took this ride at my expense

All my regrets pale to this

Take a look right here

While you're getting your kicks I've made my peace

Now I release you in confidence

It's better than before

And now that we're all here

I'm tired of the story

I'm tired of being near

​

What did you think was gonna happen

With all your bridges burned

And the matches firmly in your hand

Who do you think will come and save you

When all your bridges burn away

​

Are you honestly expecting me to think that

Everything's okay

As far as I'm concerned a day without you

Just another day

I remember reaching out and saving you

And all I got was pain

Do you even hear yourself it's obvious that

Everything's in flames

 

What did you think was gonna happen

With all your bridges burned

And the matches firmly in your hand

Who do you think will come and save you

When all your bridges burn away

​

I'll entertain

All that remains of you

But either way

I can't stay

I can't breathe around you

Fading away

Leaving this painful truth

You can't figure out why

All of your lies

Left you with just you

(All by yourself)

 

What did you think was gonna happen

With all your bridges burned

And the matches firmly in your hand

Who do you think will come and save you

When all your bridges burn away

 

Float Away

All too soon
And not what I had in mind
But now I can take my time

It's fallen to pieces
And I have no reason to blame
But you know you know I will
And for me that's half the thrill
Things fall into place
Brings a smile to my face
And lover
Don't they know you want it too
Was it good enough for you yeah

It's not what I had in mind
But now I can face you and

Float away
From you
And everything
Smothering
Until my senses get
Blown away
Until my rhetoric
Falls away

Falling against the wind
Feeling my leaves get blown away
Cursing these roots within
Tearing them out to spite myself

Check out this fallen citizen
No sense to pick him up again
My thoughts are fading very dim
Drowning them out to save myself
 

Float away

From you

And everything

Smothering

Until my senses get

Blown away

Until my rhetoric

Falls away

​

Time after time
Where did I go wrong
Where did you all go

 

It's not what I had in mind

But now I can take my time

​

Float away

From you

And everything

Smothering

Until my senses get

Blown away

Until my rhetoric

Falls away

​

Float away

​

What You Say

​

No matter what you say

 

On bended knee we follow

Promise me

Our suffering will end

Once the pipers had his fill

You swore this King would follow through

We're made to look like fools again and again

​

And maybe we don't look so lonely to you

But maybe

Just maybe

​

No matter what you say

I deserve the right to live my own life

Walk this way

And I'll show you why we envy our dead

Night by night

We gather round the flames in our lives

Hoping fear

Will be enough to buy your favor

​

No matter what you say

You can burn

We never asked for this

Ensure

That your rich stay rich

Our hat in hand we swallow

Promises

Salvation flavored poison again in the end

​

And maybe we don't look so thirsty to you

But maybe

Just maybe

 

No matter what you say

I deserve the right to live my own life

Walk this way

And I'll show you why we envy our dead

Night by night

We gather round the flames in our lives

Hoping fear

Will be enough to buy your favor

​

Intent upon a higher kind of lie

To rip the flavored wool over our eyes

Busy work keeps us sedated

While our promises are just erased

​

And maybe we don't look so hollow to you

But maybe

Just maybe

 

No matter what you say

I deserve the right to live my own life

Walk this way

And I'll show you why we envy our dead

Night by night

We gather round the flames in our lives

Hoping fear

Will be enough to buy your favor

​

Nothing

​

Last night I woke up in a cold sweat

My darkness memories make me sick

Paralyzed of what they know and don't

Unsure of what hell holds in store

 

I see clearly now

What hell holds in store

It calls me more and more

 

All I hear inside is

Screaming

Fucking

Nothing

Nothing

 

If I could break on through this barrier

Nothing could hold me back

 

The night mercy calls

To stay the gun in my hand

To right the wrong in this world

To fill the void inside this

Screaming nothing

 

Don't walk. Run away far from me

These burning words don't mean a thing

Or don't. follow me. You will see

That hell is here already

 

I can show you how

These burning words don't mean a thing

You came to hear me scream

 

And all I hear inside is

Screaming

Fucking

Nothing

Nothing

 

If I could bring you through this barrier

And make you understand

 

The night mercy calls

To stay the gun in my hand

To right the wrong in this world

To fill the void inside this

Screaming nothing

 

My habits make no fucking sense

My selfless acts are all for me

But given my alternatives

Do you even fucking blame me

This world is ripe with sacrament

Dressed up in lies and gold and shit

But given our alternatives

Worship that to which you hold in

 

And all I hear inside is

Screaming

Fucking

Nothing

Nothing

 

If I could find a way to lead you here

And we could be alone

 

The night mercy calls

To stay the gun in my hand

To right the wrong in this world

To fill the void inside this

Screaming nothing
 

All I hear inside is
