I, Imperfect

All Hollow 01:25
Autumn in me Withered, empty I am the embered bridge I writhe, I shudder Sinking under These sins that bless me A fevered promise That I might stop this Blushing bothered I am faulted When I expire Leave hung the wire And bury me a fucking liar

My Ruin 02:41
There are times when the burning in my eyes Outlasts this breath that I can't catch (Callous) And I am left unequipped to pass the time As I count all the things that are not mine (Stolen) To-a-T I'm a sick-day absentee Letting life pass before me (Broken) I spoke in slurs to every reassuring face Swearing at the thought that we're all Victims to our time and place Hide my eyes- I let the cries just dissipate I wish that I could feel it all; I can't afford to relate The younger me, he wants back his dignity A gem I pawned to chances gone Turned my cheek and said "So long..." When will this tired age ever fucking end for me? When will the hurt I hold grant me the light to see? This sordid, littered room will serve as my sanctuary Kick the chair, but shed not a tear Address me to the mortuary

Dying Breed 02:47
Romantic, what is it but a dying breed? In a cheap life clouded by Such worthless wants and needs I won’t pretend My eyes stay shut Hands tied Our throats cut Every ship that I once sailed is sinking fast Weighted by the notion that everything would somehow last Enamored with the fact that I’ll just never be enough The lights go out, I drown in doubt I’m signing off on love To lose my life- a minor fee When all I am is at war with me Every ship that I once sailed is sinking fast Weighted by the notion that everything would somehow last Enamored with the fact that I’ll just never be enough The lights go out, I drown in doubt I’m signing off on love A gift into ungiving hands What is left here for me? I’m broke on sympathy No arms left to hold me These eyes weigh heavy Sickened by the guilt of greed When intentions are wrought with lust It’s time I plant this seed A gift into ungiving hands What is left here for me? I’m broke on sympathy No arms left to hold me No hope in me.

Rain 02:06
I’m fighting for the memories in the back of my mind Lost in dull retrieve of a heart dimming from bright The latter of this life leaves me with bare bones to wear There’s no heart upon these sleeves nor a single tear to spare The glass cracks at the windows edge when I tell myself it’s still okay My hands shake at the fucking thought of all the love I let slip away I’m taking back these tired words in hope it all might end today I’ll carve this heart into my fucking wall and let it all come crashing down on me I’m throwing knives at all your wounds just to remind myself I’m still alive All alone at night, head in hands- the hope and how I let it die Every chance we take is one we’ll later fucking throw away It’s forever better to burn out than to fade away You held that picture in front of my face and you asked me “Will this ever be us someday?” And I whispered back so softly, “Some things never fucking change…”

Lise 02:38
Goodbye to waking up on cold floors far from home "Au revoir" to being stuck in the places I once roamed I'm giving back the bullshit that trailed me like a ghost For once in life I found my sight, my home is in your arms I'm without me? I'm without you. Promise me you'll see this through Goodbye to waking up on cold floors far from home "Au revoir" to being stuck in the places I once roamed I'm giving back the bullshit that trailed me like a ghost ... I found my sight, my home is in your arms In my darkest of days, I wished for this life to go away I was the brightest of lights just burning out and pouring out apathy I couldn't bear to feel at ease I couldn't bear to feel at peace I couldn't bear to feel anything If your love was the last thing that I felt That would be enough The sun can sink, it can rise up See if I give a fuck What's right here before our eyes will never change It stays the same You are my angel and that is all that you will ever need to be To me

Truant 02:27
“Things can only get better” At least that’s what I hoped you’d say A light through all this darkness Here to kiss my scars away I never thought I’d be here But I don’t wish against it now I shudder sick with all this shame As my head lifelessly bows (Truant love, come home) You were the one My answer- the gun I am undone Fought for a love in rust My god what have I done? I’m so alone How she promised she would change And how I wished my heart away Now I’m blinded as I stumble Into a makeshift grave …I’ll just let go.
