Side Effects 04:00
I’m falling victim to the medicine again I upped the dosage to take away the visions Swarming through the cracks in my brain They haunt my thoughts in every way The Devil’s dancing in my head Thought by now I had you dead These side effects are killing me It’s just a product of loving you Please help me to find a remedy Before I go insane I feel it rushing in to take away everything A hungry ghost that craves my heart and my identity These side effects are killing me It’s just a product of loving you Please help me to find a remedy Before I go insane Is this what I get for giving? The keys to my prison. These side effects are killing me It’s just a product of loving you Please help me to find a remedy These side effects are killing me

No Vacancy 03:44
All the signs led me astray There's no vacancy My head is filled with the fear of everything With my thoughts in disarray There's no vacancy Paranoid feeds inside me ever day Where did this all stem from? Why am I scared to run When all I want to do is reach the end? But there's no end in sight For what's been plaguing me This anxiety is crippling When I'm lost inside the gray There's no vacancy The color in my life begins to fade As I'm brought into the fray There's no vacancy The battles I have lost pull me away I'm always sinking in the sea of worry The tides of crushing fear Cloaking me in fury I'm always sinking I'm always sinking There's no vacancy left in my head This anxiety fills me with dread There's no vacancy left in my head This anxiety fills me with dread

When I wake up you won't be there I've come to terms with the fact you never were Searched eighteen years to find myself But I came up empty-handed Your word swore that you'd see this through But you left me feeling stranded now If you were ever real You would've washed out all the lies A thousand times I needed proof There was hope in my cries I can't deny this anymore This is who I am This is who I am The faithless wonder The faithless wonder Now that I'm older I see where I went wrong I spent my faith in fairy tale and song Now twenty-seven years have passed me by And I don't know who I am inside Your grace I thought would show me truth But in myself I now confide If you were ever real You would've washed out all the lies A thousand times I needed proof There was hope in my cries I can't deny this anymore This is who I am This is who I am The faithless wonder The faithless wonder

The desperate come alive when the world's not fair A life that's been robbed of everything in the atmosphere I swear I don't deserve this Can someone please get me the hell away from here? Circumstances never change I had to learn the harshest way Life is full of lessons tat beat you into the ground Time and time again I'd crawl And pray I'd reach the end But the hole grew ever deep A black abyss ahead I swear I don't deserve this Can someone please get me the hell away from here? I'll face the fact I'm not coming back No one can save me from myself I'll shed this weight This is the flaw left in my code Accept it you deprived yourself of anything that is real The walls you hide behind can't even shield you from the faults you feel I'll face the fact I'm not coming back No one can save me from myself I'll shed this weight This is the flaw left in my code I need to change But I don't know the way Give me a sign I know it's mine This weight to give Before I die I'll face the fact I'm not coming back No one can save me from myself I'll shed this weight This is the flaw left in my code

Father, when I was young You taught me to run with my dreams and spread my wings But as I grew old time just slipped away I never took flight And I yearn for a change So here I am to say Before I die alone I want to raise a son Into an honest man Unlike his father could be Before I die alone I want to teach my daughter love To embrace her mind, body, and soul Mama, I want to do my best But every step I take is another strike against How do I get there? Before I die alone I want to make my father proud Of the man he raised me to be Before I die alone I want to see my mother smile As I reach new heights I never dreamed before How long do I have before I go? Is there a way to break free of this cage? I want to be set free I want to be set free Before I die alone I will soar amongst the stars Before I die alone I will be complete I will be complete

Space and time Weigh their existence in my head As the chemicals in my brain Imprison my body to the bed Trace the lines To the inception of my life Did I ever strive hard enough To paint the picture of the end? I will never sleep I will be complete Just not tomorrow I know I have the tools To free my soul I was incomplete And filled with sorrow But now I hold the tools To make me whole Now is the time To seek acceptance of my past And when I'm dead in the ground I pray my legacy will last Let's burn it down Let's burn this kingdom of scars Take back my life It was never yours I will never sleep

I’m so far away from everyone Everything holds no meaning like it should My head has overrun it’s course today This is where I’ll go to die I walk through the graveyard to find a hole to put me in Maybe this time it’ll hold me close so death himself can be my friend Where can I rest my head tonight? Where can I rest my head tonight? The pit inside grew darker where I stood I’m drowning faster than I thought I ever could What is it like to taste Death’s sweetest kiss? Will it bring eternal bliss? I walk through the graveyard to find a hole to put me in Maybe this time it can hold me close so death himself can be my friend Where can I rest my head tonight? Where can I rest my head tonight? I walk right through the door Can you hear my voice ring anymore? I’m screaming to be heard The pain inside resides It finds it’s home inside my broken soul I am taken whole I walk through the graveyard to find a hole to put me in Maybe this time it can hold me close so death himself can be my friend Where can I rest my head tonight? Where can I rest my head tonight?
