Lyrics

For the Sake of Solace

Well there used to be a day when I would wake up

Without feeling separated from the world

And everyone around me

There used to be a day when I would wake up

with a smile on my face

But I can’t hide the darkness I’ve seen

And there can only be one cure for this disease

We are the fucking disease

I’ve got hate

Resting on my tongue

I’ve got love

Slipping through my lungs

There used to be a day when you would wake up

Without feeling separated from the world

And everyone around you

There used to be a day when you would wake up

With a smile on that face

And once you know what you know

There could only be one cure

For this disease

We are the fucking disease

Sick of all these

Sick of all these human things

I’ve got hate resting on my tongue

I’ve got love slipping through my lungs

At the end of the day

We’re all searching for the means to an end

At the end of the day

We all wanna watch this mother fucker burn

Out!

You bring the match

I'll bring the kerosene

Yeah!

Burn

Silent Synapse

Fighting to stay awake

Thoughts are weighing down my eyelids 

As memories of you bleed into gray

Bleed into gray

I can see you in the distance

The darkest room in the back of my brain

Silent synapse

This is a silent synapse

We all wither away

This is a silent synapse

We all wither away

This a silent synapse

We all wither away

Wither away

So don’t let me drag you down into my grave

Carry on

Carry on in my place

Lay me down close my eyes and say rest in peace

It’s too late to hold on so take our memories

Then raise your glass and have a toast

Fuck feeling pain with every loss

We’re all born to die

And that’s the final cost

Life's not about getting paid

It’s about what you can do for the ones you love

Be about what you say

And you might find some people

In the end that you can trust

This is a silent synapse

My bones will fill with dust and grow a garden

In my place

This is a silent synapse

We all wither away

This is a silent synapse

We all wither away

Wither away

So don’t let me drag you down into my grave

Carry on

Carry on in my place

Lay me down close my eyes and say rest in peace

It’s too late to hold on so take our memories

So raise your glass and have a toast

Forgive me

I'm already dead

I can’t find the strength in my last breath to tell you

What must be said

To tell you I’ve always loved you

But like how every candle dwindles and burnt

From end to end

Forgive me

I’m already dead

Wither away

So don’t let me drag you down into my grave

Carry on

Carry on in my place

Lay me down close my eyes and say rest in peace

It’s too late to hold on so take our memories

Don’t take for granted those meant to be in your life

You’re not alone even though it feels from time to time

So lay me down close my eyes and say rest in peace

Then raise your glass and have a toast to our memories

The Death of Me

My ego

Will be the death of me

What separates myself

Myself from everything

Looking outward and all I see

Is a reflection of my

My insecurities

Causing my actions to betray my thoughts

Confusing who I am

With what I want

It’s never ending

The war inside my mind

It’s never ending

The war inside my mind

It derives from that which came

Before space and time

I know there’s purpose

To breaking my ignorance

To spending my days seeking love

And reflecting it

Yet I wear this crown of shame

It cuts through my skin like glass

And oh, I hope the scars remain

Like the blood on my hands

I’ll be the first

To contradict the person I portray

Like the blood on my hands

Stained red from the past

I’ll be the first to contradict the person I portray

Never actually committed to the things I say

If there’s a piece of me I swear is true

It's that I stared into death’s eyes and I couldn’t help

But like the view

I’ll be the first

To contradict the person I portray

I know there’s purpose

To breaking my ignorance

To spending my days seeking love

And reflecting it

Yet I wear this crown of shame

It cuts through my skin like glass

And oh I hope the scars remain

I’ll be the first     

(my ego)

To contradict the person I portray

Will be the death of me

But I’m making

I’m making

Changes

Strange Fruit

Most dangerous cop in America

Serial killer in a blue uniform

Every time you take a life

They call it justified

Another innocent body

Left face down

 on the curb side

You don’t wanna hear about it

You don’t wanna talk about that shit

It will never affect you

Until the bullet hits

You can’t convince me

 they’re here to serve and protect

When a fifteen-year old boy gets

 shot straight in the fuckin head

I won’t forget

Another life we can’t get back

But I will never forgive

I'll never forget

Like a loose dog with a taste for blood

Only solution to this problem

Lock it away

Put the motherfucker down

I see murder

And I feel more violent

People say I preach too much

I say people are too silent

I wanna see more white cops

Six feet deep

Inside of a pine box

If that’s what it takes

To make the hurting stop

Authority misuse

In a country where blue takes care of blue

Robbie Ramirez shot twice in the back

But his story won't

Make it on the news

I won’t forget

Another life we can’t get back

But I will never forgive

I’ll never forget

Like a loose dog

With a taste for blood

Only solution to this problem

Lock it away

Put the motherfucker down

They say revenge is for the dreams

But it’s an eye for an eye

When it comes to the police

Fuck 12

Fight fire with fire

Until the whole thing burns

So we can learn that

We need to love again

 The Bitter End

I’ll never fear

The fact that I am dying

Even if I’m 1,000 miles from my home

My only fear is the fact that we're not trying

And world peace is something we may never know

As the cold consumes my body

I start to lose control

All I wanted was to find myself

But my shadow is all I’ve ever known

You don’t have to listen to my words

If you don’t want to

But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen

Listen to you

I am the artist of my own reality

With careful hands I sculpted my reflection

Piece by piece at the bitter end

I held the world in my hands

For the first time in my life

I can finally see

That the world is not the problem

The problem was always me

You don’t know me

Well I don’t know myself

You don’t have to listen to my words

If you don’t want to

But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen

Listen to you

I’ll be sure to listen to you

I’ll be sure to listen to you

Carry me into the sun

Let the light pour through my eyes

Until the dead of night is gone

Carry me into the sun

You're the embodiment of hope 

It’s the torch that you hold

I’m a thousand miles from you now

Just know you were my home

F O R E V E R D A R K

I am the king

Of this ghost town

All my friends left a long time ago

So don’t call me when shit goes down

I should have left a long time ago

You planted a seed inside of me

Just to see if it would grow

That was a long fucking time ago

I’m learning how to be happy again

But this week isn’t over

And I just lost another friend

Now I’ve got demons running circles in my head

Sometimes I wonder if they could find me

Find me if I’m dead

That’s never what you’d want

to leave someone here broken and empty  

Then they would be as lonely

Lonely as me

Lonely as me

Oh, Collin where’d you go

I wanted you to know

My life aches with you in heaven

Maybe I’ll find piece

Knowing where you’re headed

Forever dark

Forever dark

Carry on my friend

I will do the same

Carry on my friend

I will do the same
