Puppeteer

There's no room for me in your perfect world
I'm not your perfect boy but trust me I have learned
Of this mask you wear and your cold black eyes
The life designed for me is the life I fucking despise
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to walk in your shoes
I'll live how I want
And not the way you choose
There's no room for me
In you perfect world
I'm not your perfect boy
But trust me I have learned
I will never be enough for you no matter who I am no matter what I do
I will never fit in, I will never be loved, who I am will never be enough
I'm tired of trying to please, to fit this image, be something I don't believe
Realize your time is up, the power's gone, your fingers break, I won't sing your song
You think you're the puppeteer
So I'll cut the strings
You will have no control
I won't let you win
I'll close the curtains, I'll burn the stage
I'll sit and watch as you rot away
There's no room for me
In your perfect world

Burnt

Rotted out
Inside out
From the roots in the ground
Pull me under
Feed the hunger
Don't make a sound
Why do I do this to myself
Lightning strikes, pull the knife, fires burning the hide
Snap the branches I'm rotting from the inside
No push no pull, no there's nothing to gain
Cut me open and let the poison drain
Let it out
Burn it down
The fire dies but I'm still burning inside
Try and run but there's nowhere to go
Roots too far beneath, the earth is my keep
This wasteland is where I'll forever roam
The fire dies
I'm still burning inside

I can't believe the things you did to me
Behind my back, and then you told me to leave
Well I guess it's for the better since I came to find out
You're just a coward you fucking snake
And so the story goes, friends from the start but I wish I had known
The person you are, the lies, deceits, and your fake fucking face
I only I had known you're just a fucking snake
Sliding your way behind my back (you sunk your teeth)
In the spot where my strength lacks (but I found you out)
Your dirty ways and soon
You will pay
Self-righteousness will not cover up the lies you've told, mistakes you've made you can't run away. Your life is just a fucking waste, destroying yourself with every hit you take. Trying to ruin my life so it's yours for you to take, too bad you'll never get the time of day. Waste away the rest of your life on something you'll never create. You're just a pathetic fucking disgrace.
You showed me that I was a piece of shit
When you turned your back on me so fucking quick
And now you fill your head with lies
To try and take what's mine
So every time you shed your skin and
Ignore the fact that you are just too late
In time everyone will see
That all you are is just a fucking snake

Sick

Shut up
Sick of this fucking name
Sick of seeing my fucking face
As this war wages on in my head
No pulse, this isn't real, I feel like I am playing dead
At the end of the day
Looking at my face
The demon that stares back
Tells me I'm a waste
That there's no place for me here
That I should just disappear
Get rid of all of the pain
That he is nothing to fear
Shut up and get out of my head
Leave me alone my head is not your home
You don't own my soul now crawl back in your hole
Get out of my head
Dreaded demon, your eyes are bleeding, now hang from the fucking ceiling
Sick of this fucking name
Sick of seeing my fucking face
As this war wages on in my head
No pulse, this isn't real, I feel like I am playing dead

I walked through the valley of the shadow of death
With every step that I took, with every single breath
I feared no evil cause I was on my own
I would never let a faceless shepherd guide me home
No rod, no staff, no comfort, broken from the herd
I'm not just a sheep that will walk into your trap
I am free, free to believe what I want to believe
I won't be held down by what I cannot see
I refuse to believe what I cannot see
*I refuse to be blinded by what I can't see
I view the world how it is, not how I should believe
Fuck what you believe*
I hate what you create
*Gave up on all the prayers to the heavens above
Cause they showed no love for me
No hope, and no peace
Fuck what you believe*
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Please cleanse me and let me be born again
While I am dunked don't let me up
I want to be face to face with the one above
Because I want to see where the fuck he has gone
I've never seen him, I've traveled alone all along, and
I will not be like you, judging what others do
Walking away from the truth, but that's the path you choose
Living bound by those chains, you say it's in his name
But you never have, you've never seen his face
I walked through the valley of the shadow of death
With every step that I took, with every single breath
I feared no evil cause I was on my own
I would never let a faceless shepherd guide me home
No rod, no staff, no comfort, broken from the herd
I'm not just a sheep that will walk into your trap
I am free, free to believe what I want to believe
I won't be held down by what I cannot see

Cut out
My withered heart
No renewal
No restart
I created my demise
Originating from blind eyes
And what does it mean
To be free of this disease
And no longer feel the same
Purge me of this daily pain
I just don't know
How to carry on
My flame's gone out
Eyeless in this fog
I'm surrounded by
My dreadful thoughts
There's no way out
I'm stuck with myself
Tortured by this hate
Forced to live with this plague
What I create
My disease
Will be the death of me
Lay me down
Set me free
End it now
Let me leave
My hands are forever stained
This fire no longer remains
These chains will never rust
And I'll drown in my own disgust
*Botched from the beginning
No matter what I try I can't shake this feeling
I am not the person that you see in me
Forever falling short of who I used to be
Six feet under the earth
Can you hear me
Six feet under the earth
Six feet under
Lay me down
Set me free
End it now
Let me leave
