the chaotic descent

dreaming for days
wasting away
holding my breath for hours
wondering why
I can’t make up my mind
I guess it’s out of my power
the chaotic descent
I never meant
to hurt you in any way
times have changed
I’ve grown old
I’m different now
but I have the same soul
fading and faded
wasting and wasted
breathing it in
that sweet oxygen
another line about my lungs
I’m taking my time
I’m doing just fine
but not like I imagined when I was young
the chaotic descent
I’ll never repent
I’ll never
I’ll never
they say do what you’re told
you’re not that old
you don’t know how cruel life can be
but if they’d only seen
the things that I've seen
I swear to god they’d never believe
times have changed
I’ve grown old
I’m different now
but I have the same soul
fading and faded
wasting and wasted
the chaotic descent
it's never made sense
it's never
it's never

I hope it's quiet where you are
I hope it's calm and that so far
you've got nothing to hide
I hope you're anywhere but here
cause you've spent the best of eighteen years
trying to keep yourself from darkness
but it eats you up inside
are you running from the world
or are you running from yourself?
you look like heaven, feel like hell
are you running from the world
or are you running from yourself?
I look like heaven, feel like hell
there's some kind of poison in my blood
the most toxic form of love
reminds me of your smile
you were bad news and I was worse
we ended in an early hearse
it's no surprise
it keeps me up at night
are you running from the world
or are you running from yourself?
you look like heaven, feel like hell
are you running from the world
or are you running from yourself?
I look like heaven, feel like hell

you always said you’d never love me
i always told you i didn’t mind
you always said that you controlled me
i always told you it was fine
there was something inside me that kept me captive
maybe i was just too afraid to fly
you always said let’s run away together
maybe i was just too afraid to try
we ended things on a bad note
maybe that’s just how we’re meant to be
we’d always said we’d last through ages
maybe we were wrong and that’s alright
maybe we were wrong and that’s just fine
we ended things on a bad note
maybe that’s just how we’re meant to be
we always said we’d last through ages
maybe we were wrong and that’s alright

save
03:16
|

I spent so long living inside a hollow shell
that I've learned
you don't need to save the world
you just need to save yourself
and everything is coming together
I'm recovering
and everything gets better
It's finally happening
but I'm gravitating to
the end of the beginning
I’m starting something new
to keep myself breathing
now that I'm 26 days strong
can't figure out why I waited for so long
cause everything I'd thought was right
turned out to be dead wrong
there's nothing that feels better
than letting go of the past
There's nothing I can't weather
I feel like breathing at last
but I'm gravitating to
The end of the beginning
I’m starting something new
To keep myself breathing
and I would change their lives
so they could see how I've been existing
all of the times I've cried
and the hours I've spent
reminiscing
I'm gravitating to
the end of the beginning
I'm starting something new
to keep myself breathing

been hung
01:58
|

smoke inhaled like wildfire
we danced along on fragile wires
beginning's end comes all too soon
we always act like we're so cool
we're too cool
we fade to black like movie screens
we fade to white like mysteries
the days are numbered, oh my love
I'm scared we'll only live while young
my head's been hung
you say there's nothing to worry about
but all I've ever known is doubt
you say there's nothing to worry about
but all I've ever known is doubt

everything

I wish that you could see the beauty in yourself
in yourself
cause everyone thinks you're just like heaven
but you're in hell
I wish that you could understand how much you mean
to everyone and me
I wish that realize you don't have to be perfect
to be everything
cause you're everything
I know you cry yourself to sleep
I know that some days you don't eat
I know it's an effort just to breathe
but keep going, one day you'll feel free
I wish that you would let the past just stay behind
out of sight and out of mind
I wish that you would forgive your mistakes
and let the memories day
I wish that you could have just one good day
or even one good night
I know you cry yourself to sleep
I know that some days you don't eat
I know it's an effort just to breathe
but keep going, one day you'll feel free
please keep on breathing
but do it for yourself and not anyone else
cause you deserve to be alive
panic attacks by train tracks
shouldn't mean anything anymore
you deserve to love yourself more
so love yourself more
I know you cry yourself to sleep
I know that some days you don't eat
I know it's an effort just to breathe
but keep going, one day you'll feel free
your skin and bones
how fragile they've grown
I know you cry yourself to sleep
I know that some days you don't eat
I know it's an effort just to breathe
but keep going, one day you'll feel free

I tried to take it back
I tried to change the past
but I ran out of time
too late to apologize
I tried to fix the cracks
I tried to unshatter the glass
but I can see it in your eyes
it’s too late to change your mind
we laughed until we cried
we loved until we died
the world was ours to keep
we’d dream until we’d sleep
we breathed like the air would be gone
we danced like the night was still young
we lit ourselves on fire
and we smiled as the flames grew higher
you changed the way I thought
you stole my heart but you got caught
I said things I didn’t mean
I just needed to say something
now words don’t sound the same
and you are all to blame
I never thought we’d play these games
it’s funny how we changed
it’s funny how we changed
I tried to make things last
but things got bad so fast
we were a song that couldn’t be sung
we were a war that couldn’t be won

answer me

we took the long way home
traversed the seas and dirt roads
but somewhere I lost you
I prayed to find my path
somewhere under the overpass
but I never found the truth
stumbled along the cement
asked you what all of this meant
but I never got an answer
no, I never heard an answer
what'll happen when I die
will I disintegrate into the sky
bones become galaxies
I lie awake at night
asking why nothing feels right
am I living in the wrong reality
stumbled along the cement
asked you what all of this meant
but I never got an answer
no, I never heard an answer
what's the point of this
I'm so tired of it
why won't you answer me
oh god, why won't you answer
me

I am waiting for a cure
to rid me of these thoughts
and I am aching for the pill
that keeps me feeling lost
tides wash over me
they cleanse me of my past
the ocean's rage still seems so calm
I've found my place at last
but in the water I am fine
I still can't leave the past behind
yeah, I'm still looking back
waves crash around me
it's funny to see myself changing
but I'm still looking back
I've been searching for a savior
someone to rid me of my sins
but I've gotta save myself first
accept the demons deep within
tides wash over me
they cleanse me of my past
the ocean's rage still seems so calm
I've found my place at last
but in the water I am fine
I still can't leave the past behind
yeah, I'm still looking back
waves crash around me
it's funny to see myself changing
but I'm still looking back
waiting for days
wasting away
but in the water I am fine
I still can't leave the past behind
yeah, I'm still looking back
waves crash around me
it's funny to see myself changing
but I'm still looking back
I'm still looking back

it's 10:04
I just unlocked the apartment front door
been out for a while trying to heal myself
it's 2:13
I couldn't sleep
so I lit a cigarette and walked down the backstreets
things always go this way
every day I stray
farther from the light that made me whole again
will I make it home again?
a long november day
time moves different here that way
been out for a while working on recovery
anonymously I share what's been on mind
I pray from time to time
the pink cloud is so far gone
I don't know where I belong
been here for 28 days again
9 more till I come home again
my weaknesses are defined by my strengths
but lately I don't know what those are
I'm losing my identity
the sick girl I thought I'd always be
everything comes to collapse
but there's no turning back
no there's no turning back
I still can't breathe
coughing up the blood that brings back memories
I was out for a while that night
"just one more time,
then I'll leave my love behind"
that's my favorite joke
and relapse is the punchline
they turn off the fountain at nightfall
it's silent except when the wind calls
it's hard to sleep when it's all
got me by surprise
they turn on the fountain at sunrise
smoke burning in my eyes
been up since five
the water reminds me of oceans
it'll always ease my emotions
I'm entirely devoted
to getting better
but all I want is to stay sick
chorus
but it all comes back to me lately
it all falls apart
my chest is too small for my heart
the pounding is driving me crazy
chorus
oh, mercy
someone help me
oh, mercy
if there's a god I hope he forgives me
I'm not who I used to be
I've changed for the worst yet I am better
I don't know how to give you up yet
I'm not sick enough to get better yet
I don't know if I've fallen enough yet
feels like giving up is my best bet

everything came back as I was washing the blood from my hands
saw the sun fade to black, stared into it as long as I could stand
I won’t lie and say that I don’t miss you
I just wanted to keep you from me
cause I’m toxic, baby
I’m like a drop of poison into the sea
into the earth, into the dirt
back into the hole you’re used to
I’m into the sky to tell all my lies
they spread like a wildfire
everything is better now
I’ve got things figured out
I just wanted you to hear it from me
cause I’m bad news, baby
lately, all my nightmares are my dreams
into the waves, into the graves
can’t keep my head above water
I’m tossed and I’m torn,
I’m lost in this storm
shame to think that I am somebody’s daughter
everything is clearer now
I let myself drown
I just wanted to keep you from me
cause I’m toxic, baby
I’m like a drop of poison into the sea

-VERSE ONE-
do you remember when the stars fell down
we were standing by the ocean
Do you remember when our lungs gave out
in all of the commotion
in my memory, I was terrified
but in reality, I was barely alive
I don’t mind you now that things have grown clear
and though the voices in my head are still here
everything is gonna be just fine,
if I could give you this piece of advice
you need to seize the night
when everything was wrong I tried to breathe in
all my memories of all of your sins
and in the morning I awoke to my screams
I’ve fallen apart at the seams
the night led me to realize
I have become my own sacrifice
I don’t mind you now that things have grown clear
and though the voices in my head are still here
everything is gonna be just fine,
if I could give you this piece of advice
you need to seize the night
I don’t mind you now that things have grown clear
and though the voices in my head are still here
everything is gonna be just fine,
if I could give you this piece of advice
you need to seize the night
you need to seize the night

they say that you are what you love
then I'm the cigarettes that fill my lungs
they say that you are what you know
then I'm the roads that lead me back to home
they say that you are what you breathe
then I'm the air that’s captive inside of me
they say you don’t know who you are
until you begin to fall apart
what if I am made to be broken
what if I can’t be healed
what if I am missing something
and that’s why nothing ever seems real
they say that you are what you dream
then I'm the nightmares that keep haunting me
they say that you are your mistakes
then I don’t know who I've become, who I have made
they say that all love is blind
then I'm in love with things I've left behind
they say that all love is blind
then I'm in love with things I've left behind
what if I am made to be broken
what if I can’t be healed
what if I am missing something
and that’s why nothing ever seems real
when I was 11 years old
I lost my vision and couldn’t see life unfold
when I was only but thirteen
I took some pills and I had my first drink
when I was only but fifteen
I tried and tried and tried to get clean
what if I am made to be broken
what if I can’t be healed
what if I am missing something
and that’s why nothing ever seems real
what if deep deep down I'm gray
and everybody else just fades to black
