I've got this demon inside
That's eating me alive
Put it behind, can't put it behind
Spending all this time
Wasting away wondering why it can't work
You put me down
Someday, it's all gonna boil over
Someday, it'll all burn down
I can't say I don't love you anymore
Because I can't find an answer
I can't say that I don't love you anymore but
I can feel that it's slipping away while I'm
Keep your book away from me
Cope with your reality
You won't see me anymore if you keep this up

The thought of you losing consciousness scares me
I'd give anything to know you weren't in pain
Some people aren't ready to say goodbye
I wish that I could tell you anything
Suffering in silence I know
I notice now the different things
You're suffering in silence now
I noticed the way that you sat down
I can't bear another red receipt
Why aren't you answering?
They said at the news that you're gone
But I know you and they're just fucking wrong
You weren't ready to go
All I have left is your letters

Staying here out in the sun
Children of revolution it has just begun
Marching in the streets taking them down
It is time to take back our town
I must say I'm in love with today
There's nobody in these streets
A quick moment before I wake from my dream
The infrastructure bursting at the seams
No more beach homes no more second homes

If you could see them out in the streets
Who would be the first to go?
You all aren't people I'd like to meet
Count me out of your military
Oh Prvi Partizan
Means to me what nobody else can get
If you're afraid that's a shame
There's so much room for your development
I'm tired of living in the darkness of fear
I won't let them erase our presence here

If I wanted time to myself to try to give you everything that I can
That's a problem in the face of when you leave a reflection of your privilege
You're drowning in your privilege oversaturated with money and love
The recipe for being blind for what you have to help yourself
If I only pierced through the darkness who could blame be for taking control
If I gave into temptation as disgusting as it sounds perhaps there would be scars that are less deep
And I hate to be this Spiteful but it feels so good
I hope there's lot's of pain that comes your way while I've risen from the trash
You're drowning in your privilege
Let it go

Take Away The Pain

Are you around?
Are you still in the ground?
I stood on top
And I felt nothing
And the rain it stopped
Are you alive down there
Or are you taking up space?
Take away the pain

There are no answers
I've been set up
Failing in life
Dreading the next step
There are no answers
But I can't ask why
Need more ways to cope
It's not fair why
I remain so broke
All this pain and suffering in the world and you're so ungrateful you were born a human
Spoiler Alert
There are no answers
If you should find
You're asking why
Remember your place
Underneath them
Everyone
Do not be scared
If you think you can stand it
Think about now
Ignore the when
If you don't know why
Then be with the present
And down you will die
There are no answers
So make peace with yourself

You're killing me
Sentenced to your pain
Can't ascertain or entertain my paranoid delusions
The words I say make you feel tender in a way you don't understand

To have everyone look at your life
Don't get it at all
You cast judgement 5000 miles away
Don't get it at all
Knabenbauer
This awful dream, wake up
I can see the pain in you button up shirt
Could it be time heals and all
Innocence of your eyes marked with your long face
Come on brother I know just take my hand
Wake up

Thinking bout the great leafblower in the sky
Synthetic oil engine flying so high
Sheds all your worries and eliminates fear
Should we be so concerned with the sky?
It feels so silly to live my life
Thinking bout the sunshine when I'm dedicated to a life in the dark (so ugly)
Cloudy days they rip me apart
I don't wanna go back to the start
Do I do these things to hurt myself?
Think the answer is yes
Everywhere I go
I bring pain destruction and dread
It's all the same and asking why it happens is so lame
I need to get out get out get out
I'm hurting myself again
again
