I tried so hard to pass away in my sleep To drink so fucking much, my liver gave out on me 'Cause I didn't have the heart to pull the trigger myself And put my mother through the seven circles of hell I tried so hard to kill myself on all those nights To shred my lungs into pieces and go towards the light Cause that night that I looked down from my balcony Replayed in my head for years, was I strong or weak? I prayed for accidental death How would the concrete have felt when my bones cracked like fireworks? I prayed for accidental death To rid everyone of the guilt of what they should've done to help I tried so hard to kill myself But I just couldn't bear the thought of hurting everybody else

Control 02:43
Swallowing kerosene and I'm dancing with the matches A walking forest fire and I'm drowning in the ashes A conscious contradiction sinking further in this mattress Losing all control, bracing as the plane crashes I've lost control Every step is a step towards catastrophe March on into self inflicted misery Growing old isn't what I thought it would be True happiness is an age old fallacy Happiness is an age old fallacy I don't remember being a kid The memories of a carefree life has lost all feeling The names and faces of a better time Fade farther away every time I close my eyes Every step is a step towards catastrophe March on into self inflicted misery Every step is a step towards catastrophe March on into self inflicted misery I don't remember being a kid The memories of a carefree life has lost all feeling The names and faces of a better time Fade farther away every time I close my eyes

My disposition for affliction shackled both my feet And cast me out into the ocean sinking further in the deep Fantasizing of my funeral as the flowers wilt Because surviving isn't worth it with survivor's guilt Because surviving isn't worth it with survivor's guilt Begging and pleading staring straight up at the roof at night Holding back the vomit, tears, just praying it would be alright And that my heart would stop tonight I never said it, how I prayed for accidental death How I wished that every bottle made me draw my final breath How my heart was just an organ pumping with no purpose On surface level, I could smile but deep down, I was worthless On surface level, I could smile but deep down, I felt worthless Sneaking out under the moon to fill my lungs with ash Hoping cars would jump the curb and I could not avoid the crash And that I didn't have to go back Agony in reverie, like shit to a hoard of flies Laying eggs in my eye sockets while I'm still alive A blooming flower on the grave of my unhappiness The promise of a sudden death whose touch was warm as piss I prayed for accidental death

Ephemeral 02:38
Running to the light Running to the light at the end of the tunnel But will my life begin again? Running to the light at the end of the tunnel Where we begin is where it ends We are nothing more than a blink A breath, a small glimpse of light taken in by the eye The paradoxical and ephemeral Racing against the clock before our final goodbye Running to the light at the end of the tunnel But will my life begin again? Running to the light at the end of the tunnel Where we begin is where it ends We are nothing more than a blink A thought, a gentle kiss from the first love you've ever felt Constantly skeptical and yet ephemeral Creating heaven in a linear hell
6.
It doesn't end forever The day to day mental submission It's just a way to mend the battle scars This isn't who I am and not who we are Lay down your arms Let me feel the sun Let my head out of this vice It's not over but the battle slowly ends A heavy heart holding heaven in its hands The foot off my neck giving me a small breath The air in my lungs fighting hard against... (death)
