Every other word is weed, in every other verse they speak. They're saying it's dope when they all smoke, but now they're all dead not the people themselves but the lyrics instead.


I am a force of darkness
I am stressed beyond control
I am the mask that screams
I am the ceiling at the end of the pole.
I need medicine
It's the only thing that helps my head not spin
I need oxygen
It's the only thing that keeps the insane in.
Kill me once shame on me
Kill me twice and well wouldn't that be nice
I'm a mess
So bag me up and call me trash
Consumed by stress
Take the bag and burn to ash.
Let my match light the way
Let futures past guide today
I am the flame
Burned in the grave
I am the forgotten
Who said remember my name.
Play your piano
Sing in soprano
Get signed by a label
But your words couldn't lift up a table
Hay is for horses that stay in the stable
So sleep tight in the wooden cradle
While we dig your grave
As the gas fills your navel
You'll be glad you're the only one who came.

I'm not who I used to be
Who I am now is not what you used to see
My bruises are cutting deep
From the plastic surgery that covers these
Futures hopes
And the pasts nightmarish dreams.
Time can heal all wounds
But this time I lost not one but two
This time I lost myself as well as you
Time can't help what fate has grew
Time didn't save me
And it took me from you
I asked for a second chance
But did not rewind
Instead it did it's forward dance
Luring us in with its aroma of romance
Saying please keep her out of this
Space insists to resist
So while you may cry a riverbed of mist
And scream of how she will be missed
You can add another name to the list
of people you can never kiss
Cause time stole all the bliss
And took away each and every wish.
I'm not petty
I just want her back
My palms are sweaty
From the tears of my regret
Soaked in sadness
Drowned in madness
When will forgiveness ever happen?
Never it so happens
So every time they mention the padded
I stand away and soak in opposites gladness
I am regrets fattest
I hate that I am this
And when the promise was disbanded
We will withstand it
And death will brand it
Making it clear
That it was here.
So maybe now the world will fear.

The adolescent young
Cursed with a cataclysmic tongue
Burning down bridges one by one
Cause what's done is done
And what's mine has yet to run
What's mine has yet to come
It's like a pet in the way that I name it
It's like an animal with the way we tame it
Depression is aimless
Shooting in circles
Cause it hates us
But we still baby it
Cause we cannot rid of the fur
So we pet and listen to the pur
In our minds a wrong conclusion has concurred
It planted it's seed and then it lured
All its friends into its herd
I was alpha base one
For mission destroy all hope
Until it's gone.
You're passive aggressive
You lie with every sentence
I want love and acceptance
But instead I just regret it
I've been spoon food death
Then my chest was left breathless
I've been sentenced to 10 life sentences
I'm sleeping with this restlessness
I have the opposite of the best of it
