away, some time some time away to me always i was so blind to see what death could mean now there’s no tomorrow there’s only today now we can be the reckless ones it’s better that way now we’ll be today again for another day forget about tomorrow cause tomorrow is today awake for too much time awake your tired eyes they show it’s pained we spent our time in this to start over again now we won’t see tomorrow we’ll be here today a nameless face between millions still haunts our way i say we’ll end up okay i don’t even know if i can see a familiar face in my mirror baby you should know there is nowhere to go baby i know we should’ve let go you’re my tomorrow my only today a shiny piece in the remaining things that i had the ashes swallowing us we’ll be okay reuniting with the forgotten and our lost today

Empty Body 03:26
you went inside to find somebody wrapped in chains you know who he is, you know why he's here for you approach and hold up the chains trying to release him you know it won't break no matter how you force you feel the cold of metal at your fingertips he has injured wrists, you have injured wrists too and even if you're able to get him out of his chains you know once he's free he'll only stab again not only his vim dies he will absorb you, he'll put you in his gill inside his eyes you know that the same glow you see shows up in the eyes of the mirror your surroundings have no one, nothing but pitch black they're hollow remains, just empty carcasses the dead abyss within you invades everything you touch turn it into void, turn into emptiness the chains shrink starting to tighten 'round your throat you know you can't speak, you don't have a voice anymore recognize the corpses now that you can see these bones are not theirs, these bones are yours too, these bones are ours how will i fucking survive you or am i supposed to die locked, stuck while saying goodbye i feel you leaving me in chains leaving me just with a veil trying to be someone but faceless i am no one i feel you you tell yourself that somehow you'll always need him know yourself too well, you always end up here the cuffs on his wrists are connected to the chains of yours you know if you push he will come along too there's an exit path like a hallucination you know it's not real even when it's concrete pretending like you feel the fresh air of the world outside but you are still here, but he is still here chained as the pressure loosens he's coming to you, stabbing himself again you don't feel your skin being torn you don't feel a thing, you're stabbing yourself in your own back how could i fucking survive you for i am dying in me, i don't know my own eyes this ain't me how could you fucking survive me sleeping soundly, waking just to cause hurricanes this ain’t me wholly empty body the veil's tearing up, the sun's burning my eyes disappearing bit by bit the chains breaking down, i exist no more, i am faceless

I really thought you could stay (stay, stay, stay) I'm feeling you fade away (way, way, way) I wonder if I should say it (say, say, say) Or would it be worse that way? (way, way, way) If I gave you all you can never give back What should I do I gave you my soul away to have you Here Or maybe it's best that way You had me before the bare touch Even though I (shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have let you in) (or should I, should I, should I shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't) I let you crawl beneath my skin I still feel you (here and here and here with me, but you're not here) (Not here, not here, not here, I'm here, still here, still here) I just wanted you to leave (stay, stay, stay) You fed something I bereave (please, please, please) I prayed for you to perceive (say amen) That all you've done is hurt me (stay, stay, stay) If you could at least see the bad you bring in me Would you stop it? I can't do this to myself But I can't help it So can you please stay away You had me before the bare touch Even though I (shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have let you in) (or should I, should I, should I shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't) I let you crawl beneath my skin I still feel you (here and here and here with me, but you're not here) (Not here, not here, not here, I'm here, still here, still here) As I see the stained glass in the hall I hear the angels calling your name When the bell rings may I pray to sin once again with you instead of my own good He shot me down, bang bang I hit the ground Here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm still down on the ground I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, you're not, you're not, you're not I let you crawl beneath my skin I still feel you Here and here and here with me (but you're not here) Not here, not here, not here, I'm here, still here, still here

Tomatoes 03:50
put everything i love on a balance you didn't understand a thing keep pretending you don't see how much it matters to me how much is my work worth? how much would you say to me? will you just applaud when i poured all my soul here? you said you understood several times just to keep your moral image intact you lied to be moral ready speeches like a parrot, you keep saying the same things over again i can't take it, i just hoped it would get better, get easier but i have to beg each time more for the crumbles of your attention i can't survive from your remains, sanctimony there have be somewhere for me to fit in i can't pay to work all day to donate my soul just for the show, cheap entertainment booing throw tomatoes when you see me here struggling for air, begging for space and watch me die then you say to me when we're all alone that you're here for me meat and bones, throw me rocks and stones to break all my bones flame and gasoline, burn all my remains, no one will know it burn my remains call me dramatic, exaggerated, attention-seeking bitch burn me to my bones, wonder to myself who will miss me here? who'll attend my funeral? crying for an empty coffin my meaningless ashes does it even matter? what am i creating? i can't hear a single word you're saying i can't tell if you're genuine or fake nothing you say will fix it say you love me like you love everything worship all i do until i am here no more for you'll forget me my presence will fade away with no important mark on the ground just a grain of sand between sands will you hear this when i'm gone? i wonder if you'll understand what i meant when i tried to say running over harsh blurred words i am so sorry the tomato red stains don't leave my body

King Midas 04:41
you never ever asked me how i was don't think you really cared for any scar from you never heard a genuine word just things you memorized to feel like heard you stood up and said you’re done i guess i was the only one who thought of our small talks as important lil things when we talked about what we could’ve been you were always wanting my ears for all time and i just wanted you to at least be mine you didn’t see me at all just saw what i could give to you for you you became a part of me for my soul pieces you kept just for your sake king midas put your hands on me again my heart hasn’t turned to gold yet king midas put your spell on me again make my heart a stone like you made yours so it looks like you disappeared again spent your night with strangers just to kill the pain you wanted to make sure that i knew and i still felt like i was the issue i felt my pieces cracking in my soul didn’t belong to me no more but in any condition you’re the best the only one whom i can be myself you listen to my shit talk late at night and never really mentioned my insights or maybe you just didn't see just didn't care enough to see at all maybe i just felt too much maybe i was the only one staying king midas put your hands on me again my heart hasn’t turned to gold yet king midas put your spell on me again make my heart a stone like you made yours someday i’ll find someone to be like you to look into my eyes and lie too many someday i’ll realize you are not here for i will look for somebody but not you someday i won’t ever need you again and maybe you will miss me and come back here when this day comes i won’t be there for you but for now maybe i’m still in need of you king midas don’t you dare touch me again i never needed you before king midas don’t you dare touch me again make my heart a stone like you made yours someday i’ll find someone to be like you to look into my eyes and lie too many someday i’ll realize you are not here for i will look for somebody but not you someday i won’t ever need you again and maybe you will miss me and come back here when this day comes i won’t be there for you but for now maybe i’m still in need of you

Sonder 03:33
entire buildings shaped wreckage flew away fell over my brain no one could ever know when my world just gave in the palm of your hands brutality in your fingertips stamping hate everywhere minimal harsh move felt like a farewell when you left me behind you blowing death like smokes swallowing illness with my low glass filled with memories like a memory blurred dizzy you didn't come back repeating loops of your face ice cold saying pretty words never meaning them you know i do it too your arms filled with scars self-made burns with marlboro butts and you feel nothing but phantom pains to prove you're alive you're in love with pain burning burning the wheeze of burning skin without barriers you were still away empty gazing my eyes mint candies didn't work lost the whole effect leaving your escapes impregnated in cloth you have to stop running you have to stop this to stop pretending you don't listen the blood came from my face nose was crooked down lips cut and face marked you don't get it having other body with me his heart pumping blood into veins your head as full as mine cigarettes smoked more than my own i couldn't know this life of yours you're burning you know i do it your way too you have to stop running from you you have to stop hiding from pain you have to start feeling again you have to stop saying those things when we're all alone and empty you were somewhere else like a ghost out of my reach when yesterday you laid down by my side looking at the door never facing me doing nothing your time-bomb exploded grenades but you showed up there on my bed like the night i saw you not like other nights and i felt that peace doing nothing your face was dripping blood mine fixed up and sewn punching everything in a public restroom where no one saw us you held me whispering numb words that ain't true you were with me again breathing on my neck my own proof of life i'm so sorry you were with me again smoking in my room staining my ceiling in bed doing nothing
