hollow 02:00
Without you, I feel so empty So hollow, so incomplete I need a new depth, a new high I've searched myself, there’s nothing inside I've been looking Looking for something But I've only come undone And now I feel nothing When I'm with you, I feel so sick So hollow, so desperate I need to escape you, need to run But I'm in too deep only way out is the gun I've been looking Looking for something But I've only come undone And now I feel nothing Without you, i cant hardly breathe Chest feels so hollow, clench my teeth I need to forget you, forget myself Cos you're on the inside and it feels like hell

I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where she is And I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where shes been confidence is fading Reality is breaking I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where she is And I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where shes been lost trust and elation in need of sedation I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where she is And I don’t know just where she goes Don’t know where shes been lies steadily replacing the truth her minds racing to the darkest depths the mind creates reality so easy for paranoia to escape

parallels 02:29
Watching you watching me as we watch us bleed Im not sure why im here can you tell me what you need Im sick of the changes the only constant’s the confusion Am I living in your dream or are you part of my delusion I’ve been drifting around in between parallels Which universe are you from do we get along well? How long have you been screaming at that wall? I swear a second ago you wouldn’t let me fall Watching you watching me as we watch us bleed Im not sure why im here can you tell me what you need Im sick of the changes the only constant’s the confusion Am I living in your dream or are you part of my delusion So catch me in between fading in and out of the dream And the lucid world where we’re sentient machines The atmosphere is getting thin im running out of air Can you tell me who you’ve been who I am if you still care Watching you watching me as we watch us bleed Im not sure why im here can you tell me what you need Im sick of the changes the only constant’s the confusion Am I living in your dream or are you part of my delusion Who are we when I feel so disconnected from you We start to reach perfection then oblivion so which is true? Im starting to lose touch with love and hate and time Because I don’t know where your head is and I cant find my mind

what a waste 02:13
I followed the white rabbit, I thought he would lead me to you I’m wandering aimlessly I’ve tried through and through I swallowed the pill I guess it was placebo The path leads to the edge there is nowhere left to go Time… What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of… Ive crawled through the cracks deep into the looking glass Thought id find myself there turns out it couldn’t last Ive listened to the lingering smoke and all of its vanishing talk I followed the Cheshire moon on the endless walk Time… What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of time What a waste of…

The dimmest light softly illuminates Behind the third eye in my dissociative state All I see here is a ghost of something that never was So fragile in need of a host drained lifeless stained in blood Nothing of substance survives only holographic memories Nothing I see here can I rely on its only remnants of dreams Darkness falls and were enveloped in shadows Learning things about ourselves we never wanted to know Take the world apart and see it for face value There’s things we hold onto but these I want to let go All I taste here is stale its like poison on my tongue I start to feel frail I turn around but I cant run Everything surrounds me in red my legs tremble below Everything makes me feel more dead and every movement gets slow Darkness falls and were enveloped in shadows Learning things about ourselves we never wanted to know Take the world apart and see it for face value There’s things we hold onto but these I want to let go Walk to the edge of insanity and reason Feeling so cold I guess its just in season

time 02:10
Here in a temporary space of time, I watch from the astral plain myself on the inside It doesn’t add up I guess I’m not who I thought, what am I even looking at am I this lost Can you imagine if you read the end first, would it make the decisions we’ve made even worse? Would it take us back make us question ourselves? If the future left images in dust on the shelves What am I waiting for where should I go? What difference does it make once you really know? What time will it take, what will it take from me What does it matter when you can never break free? Now Im chained down in one spot repeating, there is never ending torture and joy is always fleeting Taking record of my failures and regrets, whether or not they have even happened yet Ticking away as simultaneously still, like being born to be led to the kill Obsess with the past you will be doomed to repeat, and stagger in the pattern of your own feet What am I waiting for where should I go? What difference does it make once you really know? What time will it take, what will it take from me What does it matter when you can never break free? Drifting through futures of pasts I have forgotten, lost and transfixed in the way time has blossomed Looking for an explanation of the present, but as soon as I learn subsequently, I forget The minutes have turned on me pointing the hand, the hour is slipping away where I stand And perception starts dripping and melting away, as I wake up to having had lost another day What am I waiting for where should I go? What difference does it make once you really know? What time will it take, what will it take from me What does it matter when you can never break free? Here in a vacuum devoid of all time, I stare at my face I cant seem to recognize The aging, the youth, the changes brand new, what I’ve lost in myself can I look for in you? The silence is broken and still turns to movement, so caught in the present so caught in the moment Just before the hour glass shatters on the floor, I finally realize why time always keeps score

whats wrong 02:21
At first it cuts, then it licks the wound Like staring at the sun, till it becomes the moon A deep breath in, sharp exhale out It always changes, only assures my doubt And I can’t keep Trying for long If I don’t figure Out what’s wrong It rises quickly, falls just as fast Don’t get used to it, it will never last The river flows, sometimes upstream What part’s reality? Which is the dream? And I can’t keep Trying for long If I don’t figure Out what’s wrong Sometimes it shines, like stars in the sky But its mostly dark, blacker than night Intrusive thoughts, or a vacant mind To much to say, a reason to be silent And I can’t keep Trying for long If I don’t figure Out what’s wrong
