You Got Me Good

You cut me up after I showed you my scars
It stays with me
I think on it much too long
And looking back it's like you didn't even care
Well baby if you need me I sure as hell won't be there
Good fucking riddance
Goodbye for good
This is what I need to do
I'll fucking miss you but I can't lie
I'm miserable whenever I'm with you
You led me down into the void
It felt like home there with you
My fragile psyche was fucking destroyed
By all the things you put me through
Good fucking riddance
Goodbye for good
This is what I need to do
I'll fucking miss you but I can't lie
I'm miserable whenever I'm with you
I think I fell for it
I think you got me good
Because I really trusted you like I never could
I wasn't your partner
I was just a tool
You're just like her
She's just like you
Good fucking riddance
Goodbye for good
This is what I need to do
I'll fucking miss you but I can't lie
I'm miserable whenever I'm with you

Phantom Sensation

The corners of my mind
Reach out from far inside
Visiting me in my sleep
Playing what I can't remember
Dreams wash over me
In waves of terror
I can't forget
I can't remember
Like a million screaming voices
None complete
Like a billion shattered fragments of a memory
My mind is clouded with the vapor of abuse
They're all shouting, telling me what to do
My body holds the fear
But the memories are dark
Filled with nothing
But a vague sense of terror
My mind's eye is closed, I see nothing at all
The phantom of the past takes its toll
On a road I never asked for
Like a million screaming voices
None complete
Like a billion shattered fragments of a memory
My mind is clouded with the vapor of abuse
They're all shouting, telling me what to do
Phantom sensations!
I can feel it on my skin
A phantom sensation!
Terror held deep within
Phantom sensation!
I still feel it on my skin
Phantom sensation!
Unsheathing terror deep within
Like a million screaming voices
None complete
Like a billion shattered fragments of a memory
My mind is clouded with the vapor of abuse
They're all shouting, telling me what to do

In Your Arms
03:32
|
|

I find myself rebuilding again and again
I question out loud, "when will it end?"
I have my answer, I see it clear
It stops when I no longer trust people like you my dear
Past all the red flags
and reservations
Tear me apart one last time
Past all the bullshit
And blatant lies
The place where my heart goes to die
In your arms
I find myself asking
"When did I fall?"
But it's not a mystery, why do I ask at all?
You know the answer, and so do I
Will I ever spread my wings
or learn how how to fly?
Past all the red flags
And misery
So blinded by you that I couldn't see
What you were doing to me
Or who you really are
I turn and try to run
But don't make it very far
Infatuation
Overrides trepidation
I let my guard now and now I pay the price
Past all the red flags
and all you did
The things you put me through
I hate to admit it, I hate to be weak
But I long so badly for you

Life in Monochrome

On this pale February morning I wake alone
I long for your embrace and for your warmth
In the stillness of the night I can still feel you there
My dreams are wrought with you
Expectations are shattered
and dreams are broken
The future I envisioned
Will never come to fruition
You're not here to color my life
A tradeoff for all the grief and strife
You're not here to bring me down
Or to embrace me
I passed the event horizon
The gravity pulled me in
The attraction was just too strong
So I gave in
I couldn't resist
The promises that you made
no I couldn't resist
The hell you put me through
Part of me still has this misbegotten hope
That you'll come back and be so different
You're not here to fuck up my life
You're not here to bring me stress or strife
You're not here to bring me down
Life in monochrome
The colors of our love may be dead and gone
But it leaves me with some hope
That I'll find something so much brighter
Embraced by those lovely tones

Even Now
03:30

I'm wide awake
I'm silent, and I'm still
I do what you tell me to do
I'm wide awake in terror
And pretend it's all a dream
Even in waking hours
My dreams wash over me
The lines are blurred, and I am terrified
Something pure derailed and twisted
The lines are blurred, and I'm so terrified
Something so pure, dark and painful
I lay here in the dark taking all you give to me
And the shadow of your form is all that I can see
Even now, I see you crystal clear again
In the darkness of my room, back to hurt me again
The lines are blurred, and I am terrified
Something pure derailed and twisted
The lines are blurred, and I'm so terrified
Something so pure, dark and painful
Touch me one more time
The agony is so sublime
I know my place
and I am willing
The lines are blurred, and I am terrified
Something pure derailed and twisted
The lines are blurred, and I'm so terrified
Something so pure, dark and painful

Grey Sky Song
03:45

I gave myself to you, you never did the same
I was a grey sky, baby you brought the rain
Sometimes I reminisce about the time before it faded
That fucked up thing which we called love
So build me up, then tear me down
Use me up, I'll topple to the ground
I'm too tired for another fight
Kiss me so gently as you turn out the light
I tried my best, did you try at all?
Why do I bother? Why do I call?
What is there left here to sustain?
What am I grasping for?
So pick me up, and tear me apart
I'll be who you want, I'll play the part
I'm too tired for one more fight
With that gentle violence, turn out the light
I'm tired of pining
I'm tired of begging
desperately trying to earn your love
I'm tired of crying
Bargaining, denying
Cuz in the end you are gone
So pick me up, and lead me on
This is over, now you're gone
I'm too tired for another fight
It all ends here now, it ends tonight
The promises that you broke I don't forget
Your "loyalty" is bullshit, and I'm sick of it
Like many others, I'll burn this bridge
In the end I'll be better for it
