The Glass Has Never Been So Empty Something needs to change And I don't care what it is I don't know right from wrong I haven't known all along It's tearing me from the seams And I don't know what that means The glass has never been so empty Something needs to change

I'm the Best 01:30
I'm The Best I'm at the end of my rope I'm selfish, self centred and I don't respect myself No love for anyone or anything at all And there's nothing keeping me decent anymore I don't wanna be alive I felt it back then, it built itself up while it broke me down I felt it back then, and now These days I fear everything These days I don't wanna be alive
3.
Angelica 00:55
Angelica She died, she took her own life How long can the rest of us survive? We gladly feast upon those who would subdue us But we're outnumbered here And they're coming for us Time is now a source Time is a source of terror They're all around us They hunt us down They're all around us Blood thirsty hounds Run for your fucking life
4.
Let Bygones Be Gone We're all dead already, We're still just walking around. I'd rather stay this way, than let you purify me I'd rather be your enemy than hear you call me "friend"
5.
Baptized In Denial Burn the earth and we'll start anew do to everyone what they did to you And We can bathe in the beauty of what this was supposed to be When you dream too much of the sun, you forget the trees I can't raise my voice without straining my voice I wouldn't write any of this down if I had the choice I'm just wax, I'm not a candle I'm just wax, I'm not a candle
6.
Forever Pessimistic Forever pessimistic And unchanging I tried so hard to change once It didn't help me, I'm not flinching If only no one loved me, I could leave Maybe my eyes and ears aren't working together Maybe my eyes and ears haven't gotten along in years My lungs are collapsing and my back is breaking My teeth are cracked from clenching and my palms aren't moist they're drenching I'm basically dead
7.
The Fool 01:48
The Fool Please, ease up, if you got what you want out of me I'm still not sure if you know what you need How do you find yourself? What are you looking for? How do you find yourself When there's nothing to look for? All my mistakes will be forgotten Only a fool asks for luxuries at times like these All my mistakes will be forgiven
8.
You'll Wait Forever And finally: I am stronger than the pain, And the sun doesn't burn my eyes anymore I stopped self reflecting I’m not self reflecting I'm waiting for transformation and I long for freedom I’m just so unaware of what makes me this way “How did you get so reactive and how is your boiling point so low?" No longer searching, Forever intolerant People that get violent, get that way because they can't communicate
9.
Empathy 01:14
Empathy This is all the credit I'll give myself I am nothing more than a desperate man, tempted It seems to be Empathy is lost on me There is no such thing as destiny I had a choice, I chose wrong
10.
Desperation 01:34
Desperation A desperate cynic, clinging to his sanity He's lost touch,with every, thing that made him tick As gallant, empires crumble and they fall what is he to think? Men do evil because of fear How many roads must I walk down before you'll call me a man? How many fucking roads must I walk? I've been trying my best to burn out, But I'm doomed to fade away. I am doomed to fade away
11.
No One is Going To Miss You When You Die At the end of the day we're all just trying to survive and I'm not sure why anymore, I don't care how selfish that is, I don't Nothing will ever get any better But I doubt it could get worse It's a different type of giving up that doesn't feel like much I want to leave this place Fuck Theres ten voices in my head at a time at all times screaming my regrets at me, Screaming them endlessly hollowed out by failed ambitions Hollowed out by a failed life So what comes next? Pain, regret, lament, but try not to kill yourself Dig, dig deep, repeat, pull yourself out of this mess I know I'm not who I could be I'll never get there, the weight of my mistakes will drown me here I know I know you're not who you could be, you'll never get there, the weight of your mistakes will drown you in an oath. I can't help but fade away It will keep me repulsed here Inside the overwhelming of feeling failure in every sense of the word The freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted
