Waiting for that final day I get the unmarked grave So here’s my last reward for years of suffering Too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself Buried alive with my thoughts long ago Suburban mausoleum I once called home No doors and no windows allowed Surviving on whispers and rumors for now See all these places that I used to know Withered and crumbling memories made of stone What’s left but the deafening sound Of emptiness filling the air all around The stars I used to believe in Nothing but satellites, uninspiring machines, deceived Waiting for that final day I get the unmarked grave So here’s my last reward for years of suffering Too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself Poorly written poetry, a worthless eulogy With zero volunteers to carry me away Too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself Always a sucker for heart wrenching hope But somehow terrified that I’ll die alone My fault not wanting to be found Hide and seek champion, 3 decades down Lack of attention, I’m starved to the bone A self-inflicted, kind of tragic syndrome Autopsy shows nothing resounds In my head the echoes have all faded out The stars I used to believe in Nothing but satellites, uninspiring machines, deceived Waiting for that final day I get the unmarked grave So here’s my last reward for years of suffering Too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself Poorly written poetry, a worthless eulogy With zero volunteers to carry me away Too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself I was always too blind to tell, I sank this fatal knife in myself

Still hear you shouting at the prison gate I wish we bounced off to a distant place We were scoundrels to participate But today we drink a round to commiserate I chose to exit, run a different race Then watched our brotherhood disintegrate While I was working on my inner state You were moving work along, interstate I told you that your pals will put you in a cage You're slithering around in a pit of snakes I heard you used your linen to asphyxiate Last time that we kicked it you said grinning That's the risk you take Don't bother me to play another role Don't bother me 'cause I'm not gonna crawl Don't take me in, don't let me down The wounds will take me to the ground You can see that I won't fall Now I can take control Control I can't believe that I'm seeing this: on the powerlines, your Adidas' Just hanging there I took it like a torpedo hit Yeah I'm a piece of shit, I'm feeling like I'm a piece of shit You texted that you needed me, I declined on reading it Couldn't come to read it, I couldn't ease your bleeding I couldn't help you breathing, 'cause you couldn't free your demons And I couldn't take the load to save your soul from Satan's hold Now its either pay that toll or break the mold and take control Don't bother me to play another role Don't bother me 'cause I'm not gonna crawl Don't take me in, don't let me down The wounds will take me to the ground You can see that I won't fall Now I can take control Don't bother me 'cause I can take control Don't bother me 'cause I am not gonna crawl Don't take me in, don't let me down The wounds will take me to the ground You can see that I won't fall Now I can take control Control Control

I often wonder Where does a thought go when it’s forgotten? Where do the feelings go when they’re torn down If crying is for the faint of heart Then I’m a coward Forever dancing with self doubt I don’t wanna fall in the same trap again So I pledge to myself To never look back on shattered memories I’ve reached an all time low No I don’t want to rest in self misery I’m so fed up of falling down and down again So damn fed up of giving up ahead of time again Where did everything go? Who will save us now that we’re so lost If crying is for the faint of heart Then I’m a coward Forever dancing with self doubt I don’t wanna fall in the same trap again So I pledge to myself To never look back on shattered memories I’ve reached an all time low No I don’t want to rest in self misery I’m so fed up of falling down and down again So damn fed up of giving up ahead of time again I feel the air Dancing with self doubt I see despair Building up inside I hear them pray Such a waste of time Is this the end? Leave it all behind I feel the air
