You've changed,
Not who you used to be,
Who are you?
You've changed,
Who are you?
You've changed,
Not who you used to be,
You've changed,

Selfish Lot
03:43

If he possessed your sight,
would it help him see the world,
for what it is?
If he felt your touch,
Would it make his sail unfurled,
So he can set out on this journey of his,
For he to be one of us,
He’d have to soak,
In a bath of pus,
So on a vessel he awoke,
For once in his life,
Out in the blue,
Away from the strife,
Silence becomes the loudest noise he’s ever heard,
When he strayed away from the herd,
When peace and quiet,
Is what he has learned,
To land,
He’ll never return,
He'll never come back,
To the selfish lot that is us,
What becomes of a man?
When he’s peaceful, loving,
And detached from all your touch,
Would that make him one of us?
No,
Because he’ s nothing like us,
He’ll never take anything for granted,
And he’ll never return,
For his name is now Free,
And Free is who he shall stay,
For as long as he’s gone away,
Never to return to land,
All because the selfish lot led him astray,

True Colors
05:21

When the reds became blood,
And all the tears became a flood,
Where the blue skies came crashing down,
And the black seas made me drown,
This is where our broken promises lie,
Beneath the world in a shoebox named “Goodbye”,
Sometimes the blacks and whites,
On the silk white screens,
Will show you what it means,
Through the darkest of all nights,
To look back at it all,
From such great heights,
We’ve come so far,
We’ve come so far,
And we’re only going further,
I took you to the top of the earth,
And showed you true colors,
I showed you beautiful curtains,
This atmosphere of rebirth,
“Goodbye” could call us lovers,
Would your hellos say there’s no other?
With sights like these,
Would you crawl down from the trees?
And leave me begging on my knees,
I painted our footsteps bright,
So I could see how far we’ve come
How far we’ve traveled,
In one night,
The broken would say;
“What a sight,”
We’ve come so far,
We’ve come so far,
Yet I’m just a martyr,
Just like your father,
The oceans they reach my feet,
The waves,
They hit the street,
I was just a pawn in your game,
A chapter with a name,
With “Goodbye” forever in my heart,
I let this great flood be a new start,
While I drown alone,
I smile and make it known,
At the ocean floors,
I carve it in stone,
A new chapter is what I own,
I’ll find what I need,
Behind closed doors,
Beyond something of yours,
It’s all for me,
After I drown at sea,
Under true colors,
Of what’s best for me,
It’s what’s best for me,
It's what's best for me,
It's what's best for me,

A Loss For Words
02:50

The manifestation of this disease
a generation to make all displeased
Not all the words in the world
Could make me appease
How fucking sick
The last help for our lives
Are held in the hands of individuals
Who leave me with unease
A loss for words is my fuel for hate
Think for yourself
Than your uselessness could be up for debate
Be something more
Than the black sheep of society
Your conformity disgusts me
Your conformity disgusts me
Your conformity disgusts me
Your conformity disgusts me
Your clothes are worth more than you
I hope for our sake
You break from your ways
And cease to be a fucking fake
A product of this shit world
I am forced to
Live in

Environment

I will live under a roof powered by the sun
I would never hurt the world we call home,
That’s like hurting the ones you love,
We have this one planet,
And one universe to roam,
But by then,
We’ll all be dust,
In one massive end,
We pollute,
We ravage,
We mistreat our mother,
Why can’t we all live like brothers?
Our society is a machine,
The blood it’s heart pumps is oil,
Those with real hearts are demeaned,
Was there ever a time,
Where our world was cleaned?
Before fossils weighed our wealth,
Before when the world’s only concern,
Was our health,
When will living life return?
When will the worry for what others have not be a concern?

Bastard Child

Who lead you to believe?
That the pull of the earth,
Would be to you?
Not all the stars you wish upon,
Would revolve around you,
Who lead you to believe?
That the pull of the earth,
Would be to you?
Not all the stars you wish upon,
Would revolve around you,
For once in a lifetime,
You’ll claim you support yourself,
Support your life,
Support your health,
Whilst under your blood’s law,
Thus is your greatest flaw,
The blissfulness I see in your life,
What makes you think all is well?
Better children than you have had much less,
You disgusting bastard child,
Would you act the way you do,
As a cold, lonely orphan,
Pull that script from amongst your chest,
You’re inadequate at best,
There’s not one thing about you,
That’d make me feel “blessed”,
Your presence isn’t a present,
It’s such a fucking burden,
Your presence isn’t a present,
You drag your loved ones,
Deeper,
And deeper,
Into the world’s bottomless pit,
They now have debt to call home,
So welcome yourself in,
To your loved ones ruined world,
Who lead you to believe?
That the pull of the earth,
Would be to you?
Not all the stars you wish upon,
Would revolve around you,
Who lead you to believe?
That the pull of the earth,
Would be to you?
Not all the stars you wish upon,
Would revolve around you,

Weary Smiles
09:29

Rest my red eyes,
From being so sad,
Not all the tears,
Could bring it back,
Why does this all hurt so bad
Erase all traces of my happy face,
And remember,
How far you’ve dragged me down,
My smiles they quiver,
As my strong head falls,
It’s hard to keep your head up,
When you hear what you’ve been told,
What’s the use of fighting,
For something so cold,
You’re better off growing old,
This way,
The scars will heal,
Then this story could be told,
Rest my red eyes,
From being so sad,
Not all the tears,
Could bring it back,
Why does this all hurt so bad
I look at your face in hindsight,
Does the trail of tears you lead me to,
Show that you put up a fight?
Does it show me where I went wrong?
Or will it make me feel like I belong?
Will it comfort me and tell me it’ll be alright?
When my eyes are shut out from all the light?
Will this all help me realize the bigger picture?
Will any of the questions I ask be answered?
- One can only go so far,
For so long,
To make one feel like they belong,
But was I here for you,
I’ll say it,
Watching you change “doesn’t hurt anymore”
But it does,
What happened to you?
You’ve changed,
You’ve fucking changed,
Read me back,
Take me back,
To a time where you gave a shit,
To a place where you were here,
To a day where we weren’t second guessing,
Ourselves
Rest my red eyes,
From being so sad,
Not all the tears,
Could bring it back,
Why does this all hurt so bad
Rest my red eyes,
From being so sad,
