Hollowing

Hollow, pick your face up from the dirt
I know you’re gonna swallow a little just to dull the hurt
Oh I know you’re gonna burn
Fire and smoke just getting cold
A Lord of cinder and his throne
I’m invincible I know
Oh I try to find relief
From a curse that's all-consuming
And I’m walking in my sleep
With the ghosts
I see them eat away at me
Fire and smoke just getting cold
A Lord of cinder and his throne
I’m invincible I know
My face is melting from the heat
I’m broken down by this disease
Oh, lord of cinder set me free
Burn

I’m stuck in this cycle
I stand here pounding at my chest
Unaware of all the blood on my hands
And I’m all worn out
It feels like an infection
of all the hurt I am capable
I grit my teeth
And spit in the face of everyone I love
While I try to hide the cuts
Light me some kindling
So I won’t
I won’t become what I abhor
Well, tell me does it make me a man
To throw my weight about here
Like an animal trying to tear down the walls
Oh tell me does it make me a good one
If I throw my fist in the door
Oh tell me what does it make me?
A boy?

Throw shade around like there’s no conseuquence
Been here before
Once again I know
I’m on my way
And I’ll break everything
Sell myself bit too short is a small price to pay
When my bones are just bound like this
Is There no other way
You told me to make some sense
So I called it quits
Yeah, I got it
You said it’d be best that I left
So I packed up my things
‘Oh you got it’
Came and went like a ghost you said
So I sink into the carpet
Tell me again why I’m good
Why I shouldn’t hate myself
Tear apart at my core, what will I feel
I sink my soul again to the carpet
To the carpet where we laid
Throw shade around like there’s no consequence
Been here before
Once again I know that
I’m not okay
Is there no other way
You told me to make some sense
Yeah, I got it
You said it’d be best that I left
So I packed up my things
‘Oh you got it’
Play dead for another day
I wanna lie and I wanna rest my head
It’s the way that I call it quits
As I dress myself to go meet my friends
Play dead for another day
I wanna write but I can’t get out of my head
It’s the state that I find myself
I can’t numb my pain
Is there no other way?

How I Tremble
03:30
|
|||
|
Body aches and I disintegrate
Like a silhouette, I fade into the ether on the grey
Thinking of the autumn leaves
A place where you would want to be on sunny days
Fall in love and I will find my place
As a silouhette, I lay at the foot of your bed
And I will call it home
I will call it home
I divide and separate
Equal parts pride and disgrace
Hold my face self-consciously
We could be more than this
But we’ll lie alone, we’ll lie alone
Oh I tremble
This weather’s getting cold
No flowers left for me to grow
They die alone like we lie alone
How I tremble

Oh, Thick Dark Sea
06:29
|
|||
|
I know I’m not free
From the weight of my body
Spend the mornings
Clear out my skin
But everyday remains
Coughing that still keeps me awake
Crashing through tarred out lungs and washed up veins
‘Ride into me
Oh thick dark sea
Ride into me’
Spend my mornings
Dress these wounds up good
Till they bleed right through
You lost me in a heat wave
While I coughed it out my lungs
Still diving hard into my pocket
Remember me and please recollect
Emotions, regrets you never could confess
Memories that wound and mend
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
