The feeling of numb came as comfort to me Why can’t we just take all the anger off Just swallow these please Focus on the pain going Fall asleep Strung out these Pills aren’t working They are killing me I can’t feel a thing Synthetic happiness brought on by drugs I take They watch me lie on the floor Now sweating I’m not feeling right Please help me stand on feet I can’t see Strung out these Pills aren’t working They are killing me I can’t feel a thing Strung out these Pills aren’t working They are killing me I can’t feel a thing

Joshua 02:47
Your mom she locked you in the Bedroom when she was so fucked up To take your shit off of her hands Your step-dad, he came in so late Drunk off his ass, he stumbled your way To take you on with his own hands You wanna be your own Your own They wanna say you’re wrong You’re wrong I came home on that Sunday You left a crack pipe on the stairway Your problem is you are no man Your baby, she’s well on her way Selling herself to just make ends meet I’ll miss her when she turns up dead You’ll never be your own Your own I gotta say you’re wrong You’re wrong I can’t believe you’ve gone bad again Cutting the snow up with shaky hands Your lies tell you that you are a man The truth says your life has different plans

Building Six 02:13
You got me so cold But now I’m drinkin’ and I’m feelin’ the warmth We’re gettin’ so old See all this weed? No, we don’t care anymore Now everybody’s screamin', "we’re in love" I’m so fucked up and I ain’t even tryin’ We spent so many seasons all alone Fuckin’ locked up and feelin’ like we’re dyin’ We're feelin' like we're dyin' Nothin’ to prove There’s just no reason for a bad attitude Nothin’ to lose No need to leave or sit and stare at our shoes Now everybody’s screamin’, "we're in love" I’m so fucked up and I ain’t even tryin’ We spent so many seasons all alone Fuckin’ locked up and feelin’ like we’re dyin’ We're feelin' like we're dyin'

Afraid 04:05
To take an image of your love And raise yourself and others above Everything you see Will make you feel an awful load Of desperation to become The one you want to be It’s still so easy to remember now Staying at home and feeling Afraid of where my mind will take me Afraid of taking off I can’t wait to put the past behind me I hate what I’ve become Was scratching at the wall for reasons To take my life before the seasons changed I tried it all Was sent away to lay my head down Forced me to stay but all they heard was Begging to go home It’s still so easy to remember now Hospital beds and feeling Afraid of where my mind will take me Afraid of taking off I can’t wait to put the past behind me I hate what I’ve become

Say what you mean Stay the fuck away from me Hand over all your words of hate Spit your emptiness at me
