Slave To The Sea

waking up to the east coast
falling asleep to the west sea
I found a way to be happy
I found a way to make myself feel free
we build just to break
we're taken under the waves
my legs grow weary
my heart grows heavy

Man Of My Youth

you can't leave, no not just yet
if you're gonna go, at least, make your bed
and lock your door
at least come get your things, she screams
i swear i won't grace that hall again
i refuse to meet the demon inside of me
while his words were cutting right between my teeth
father, can you hear my cries
i could really use the touch of your hand
i could really use a savior tonight
falling short of the man i used to be
i'm scared to know the truth about me
i was a much bigger man in my youth
(chorus)
here i stand
at the door to this hall again
it's sinking deep into my chest the things i did
i'm feeling every single word that i had said
this house is the reason that i couldn't go to bed
the floors scare me like a kid
the trees cast shadows like demons
branches scrape the window
the walls are way too shallow
the devil's number is carved in it.
his number's in it
but I've seen
the better half of me
it lies in you, no more inside of me
where have you gone
i can't
i can't keep moving on
with these haunting memories
(chorus)
here i stand
at the door to this hall again
it's sinking deep into my chest the things i did
i'm feeling every single word that i had said
this house is the reason that i couldn't go to bed
i couldn't go to bed
it haunts my dreams
his number is in it
the devils got a grip on me
i will not stand for this
here i stand
at the door to this hall again
it's sinking deep into my chest the things i did
i'm feeling every single word that i had said
this house is the reason that i couldn't go to bed

Growing Still

reluctance kicking in, I've lost my vision, it's finally sinking in
I need to find an escape, but I burned away, all my bridges
these glazed over eyes serve no purpose
for the likes of this hollow man
and maybe you don't like what you see
But i have full remorse for the way i've been living
(I stand alone), disregard the crutch I've been using
(I can't shake the fear that I just haven't changed), haven't changed a thing
(with no way home), I'm sleeping on this park bench waiting
for someone to just take me, take me away
All the lives I've been leading
All the friends I've been leaving
Was it ever really worth it
Were you ever really worth it
All the lies you're believing
From the life I'm conceiling
I really hope you think I'm worth it
Cause I know I don't deserve it
(Chorus)
I'm holding onto the life once lived while blind
(a closed mind behind closed doors)
even though it still haunts me
(i won't let go)
and i can tell that your thoughts wont change with mine
(your little taste of ignorant bliss)
so i'll just watch as your will fades
One sleepless night is one night too many
You're my crutch
Fading faster
to your unmarked grave
You can't expect to last when
No one ever speaks your name
A fleeting memory
I know I'm next to go
Hold my hand we'll walk together
At least we'll never walk alone

Alive Again
03:27

you’re always hoping for the worst
and preparing for the best
the only way to stay alive
was to bring us to dirt again
dug our way into a hole
that should have never been
the controversial feelings
and our desire for progress
i can only imagine
what would have come of this
had we kept you around
had we forgotten what we missed
lets not forget
the way of your slight of hand
kept blind for so long
by a bond with no substance
we keep building these giants up
we have no means to defeat
i will not compete for life
this was ours to take
i will fight for what is right
you fell right through the floor
you took glory with greed
and thought anger as envy
we fought so hard for what we believe
with love unconditionally
but you cannot have the hand
when given the pinky
I pulled the trigger that let this live
keep following the path you chose
you will run out of places to go
while we're climbing to the top
we grew the courage to be alive again
i can only imagine
what would have come of this
had we kept you around
had we forgotten what we missed
lets not forget
the way of your slight of hand
kept blind for so long
by a bond with no substance

A Life, A Family
05:09

I find the weight of the world
bringing me to my knees
I fight inside myself
I swear that day lasted a century
I can't escape this crushing feelings
(Was it me, Was it me)
Did I cause you to leave
The idea murdered my being
can't help but feel I was the problem
just a scared boy witnessing dishonor
And after all is said and done
just remember that you walked out
You left a mother, her children
A promise, your seed
A life, A Family
I will not be chained by the wrath of your mistakes
I will fight every day to make sure
I'm not the man you became
The way I see what you did
You couldn't have cared less
From that point on
I refused to wait on someone else to save me
Worthless
You're worthless
So many nights were spent
Tearing myself to shreds
Wishing and Hoping that I would find you dead
Did you ever regret
that bitter end
Cause we'll
never forget the sins you committed
(Step back and breath it in
Just think about the consequences)
And after all is said and done
I can thank you for only one thing
You taught me who not to become
You really know how to amaze
And now that I've grown of age
and can fend for myself
You tried to step back in my life
Out of the grave you dug yourself
I watched my mother's eyes fill with tears
Year after Year
Just turned your cheek away
to not have to witness decay
Worthless
You're worthless
Luckily I've gained my senses back
I became who I needed to be
Despite the lack of a father
Who gave you the right
to cause the pain that we felt
Do you feel like a man now
I hope you feel the burden
of the lives you ruined
and my only claim to fame is this woman who raised me
Worthless
But I'm worth it

I can't see through these eyes
And I can't breathe in
My lungs they just might cave
As I walk this glaciers edge
I think back to good times and
What led me to this place
What steps did I misplace
Now I see you're dead and gone
And I'm left here all alone
I've held myself on the thrown
And I'll perish on my own
Did you see
How hard this was for me
I tried to include you
In everything
In these years I could not see
But now that you're set free
Who will I blame for me
Who will I blame for me
Take away this strength
And this place that I create
This message I've received
Has cleared my hate
Digging through the earth
With nothing but my hands
Can I leave this all behind
Can I please just rewind
I think again
What led me to this place
What steps did I misplace
Now I see you're dead and gone
And I'm left here all alone
I've held myself on the thrown
And I'll perish on my own
Did you see
How hard this was for me
I tried to include you
In everything
In these years I could not see
But now that you're set free
Who will I blame for me
