about

Regrets

Regrets are wounds that bleed eternally
My thoughts have trapped me inside

I think too much
I eat too much
I care too much to live
I wish I was more like you without a single care in the world
I can’t control my stream of thoughts
I’m pacified again
Too afraid to live, not prepared to die, I carry hell inside!

Regrets are wounds that bleed eternally
My thoughts have trapped me inside

(I carry hell with me!)

You lose it all if you don’t act, Living in defeat!
All senses retract, cold and dead inside
Waiting for a light
Waiting for the day to shine upon your face
Dying passively, trapped within
Life wears you thin when you float with the stream

Regrets are wounds that bleed eternally
My thoughts have trapped me inside
Blacked out, I see no light for… me!

(I carry hell with me!)



True Self

You never fought for anything/You always follow the stream
You’ve become so good at pretending/That you forget yourself
You never worked for anything/ Complacency kills
You’ll never get what you want/ if you don’t fight for it

Become the flood
(Wash away the past)
Become the tempest
(Never back down, never look back)
Become your true self

There is no master/ in your life but you
You’ll always fail/ if you don’t follow through
There’s no way/ that I can help you
This is your own fight/you’ll succeed on your own

Become the flood
(Wash away the past)
Become the tempest
(Never back down, never look back)
Become your true self



The Body Keeps the Score

I can take the suffering
But this is too cruel
I’m lost where sanity ends, and my fear begins

It eats you up inside, it makes you cold. What doesn’t kill you crawls back inside

The body keeps the score
The hatred and the lore
I’m trapped inside this cell
I’m no master in this hell

We feed on destruction to keep ourselves alive
We feed off control to remain sane

We keep on the right track if we can
We walked the path least traveled
(We balance ourselves again!)

I dream of my enemies
With holes in their heads
My anger’s endless
I wish all of you dead

It eats you up inside, it breaks you down, what doesn’t kill you, stays in your head!

The body keeps the score
The hatred and the lore
I’m trapped inside this cell
I’m no master in this hell



Wastelands

You will not be forgotten
But you forget yourself
Build yourself up and never give in
You create your path

Like moths to the flames
Your depression draws you in
I will carry your weight even if it breaks me (X2)

Scared to death!
Afraid to live!
Life is hell!
Walking through the endless wastelands (X2)

Every day is wasted
Walking through the wastelands
On your path of self-destruction, you left your life and your loved ones
Feel the weight on your shoulders
And push back!
(Push back!)

Like moths to the flames
Your depression draws you in
I will carry your weight even if it breaks me (X2)

Scared to death!
Afraid to live!
Life is hell!
Walking through the endless wastelands (X2)

Do we truly live throughout our lives – Or do we breathe, just to stay alive?
