Lovely Pain 03:15
I'm living for the lovely pain Bitter failures, deep desire the only kindling that stokes the fire I only learn from the scar and the burn But I’m running out of skin to lose Bitter failures, shallow graves Only torment keeps me sane Hitting the curve Going way too fast Just to feel the thrill Of wheels off the track Powered By agony Pain and pleasure start to blend Ripping flesh, jesus wept Reliving failure again and again Constant heartbreak keeps me fed Powered by agony Living for the lovely pain

Clocks 02:17
Ticking away, The clocks are faster, the tempo has changed And when you count, It’s excruciating How living starts to feel much more like waiting When I bleed, sand hemorrhages from me All I see, an hourglass half empty Seconds turn into minutes, to hours, to days of my life Weeks then blend to months into years into decades gone by When does the clock strikes midnight? Its hard to sleep When you audit the hours its syphoning And when once you notice, you do the math How many minutes do you really have? When I bleed, sand hemorrhages from me All I see, an hourglass half fuckin empty When I close my eyes is when the clock strikes midnight Seconds turn into minutes, to hours, to days of my life When does the clock strike midnight?

The stars are elusive Through the water’s glass Translucent turns opaque Blackout approaches fast I am the chain around your legs Keeping you from surfacing Weighing you down The sun teases freedom Its rays distract the dead Fresh lungs rendered useless How long can you hold your fucking breath I am not the key, I can’t break the lock I am a steel chain and cinder-block (Weighing you down) I’m not the key, can’t break the lock I’m a steel chain and cinder-block I am the chain around your legs Keeping you from surfacing Weighing you down
