Woke up this morning without the sun
And I’m waiting for the light
We’re all stumbling, deaf, and blind
There’s no end in sight
They tell us the world will end in ice and flame
And when you ask them why, they'll say we’re to blame
Help me
I need someone to tell me
It’ll be all right
SOS
I need your arms tonight
Please whisper to me
It’s gonna be all right
So tired of spending all this time
Suffering in guilt
The things that I’ve done wrong drown me
I’m drowning
I can’t breathe
What’s happening
Help me
I need someone to tell me
It’ll be all right
SOS
I need your arms tonight
Please whisper to me
It’s gonna be all right
Well I’m told I’m sick, but so is the world
My life is a dance, a game, a twirl
And how can they fix this broken little girl
When all they know is what they see on the surface
I tried so hard to fake my way through
But in the end, I couldn’t fool you
So help me
I need someone to tell me
It’ll be all right
SOS
I need your arms tonight
Please whisper to me
It’s gonna be all right
Jaded and faded
The reflection in the mirror isn’t quite what it seems
Who is this imposter that’s snatching your dreams
The bottom of the bottle is your home
A djinn with all the bells and whistles
Gave yourself a throne
Ruling your kingdom of illusions
Forsaking everyone with your pollutions
Voices carry over you
You don’t hear them
You’re crying out for rescue
You turn them away
Hiding behind a veil of agony
Painting yourself the victim
Loving the tragedy
The glass phylactery has broken
The wards have all gone
You’re desperate to repair it
The damage has been done
The villain inside you
Cries the battle has been won
Stop to smell the withered roses
Breathe the death in!
Breathe the death in!
Nothing but thorns remaining
Dig in your skin!
Dig in your skin!
Mutilate your image
Reflecting what’s inside
You’re identifying
With what’s become your cage
Erasing the euphoria
With your violence and rage
Voices carry over you
You don’t hear them
You’re crying out for rescue
You turn them away
Hiding behind a veil of agony
Painting yourself the victim
Loving the tragedy
Jaded and faded
The reflection in the mirror isn’t quite what it seems
Who is this imposter that’s snatching your dreams
My glass heart glitters in the dusk
Of an evening I’ll spend alone without you
My body trembles with outrage
Of betrayal I condemned upon you
Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony
I stammer a whispered apology
That I ever let you near me
I’m sorry
You didn’t know my destruction
And all the pain I could bring
To everyone I hold in my life
Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony
And as the dust settles around me
I look at the broken remains
The flames consume my being
I humbly welcome the pain
All the ash within the rain
And I try to set you free
Your light was fire in a winter storm
The last star in the waning night
I deserve every tear I shed
Knowing nothing can bring you back
I bathe in agony
Your pool of agony
I’m beginning to hate myself again
The ice I stand on is growing thin
Drowning in chaos and cacophony
I just want to find my harmony
When your eyes shatter
Filling your heart with glass
Upside down in the sea
Holding the sky to save you
Upon this tower is a small and fragile thing
Bound by threads in which the devils caged me
Call it a product of abuse, depression, anxiety
But I’m just wondering when is it my turn to be happy
They left me with these broken limbs, frayed up heartstrings
All I have is hope that someday, I will find my wings
Find my wings
Don’t worry what others think
How they may perceive you
But when you start to sink
Don’t drag others with you
I suffocate with these rules around my head
Struggling with that inner voice that says I’m better off dead
Call it a product of abuse, depression, anxiety
But I’m just wondering when is it my turn to be happy
They left me with these broken limbs, frayed up heartstrings
All I have is hope that someday, I will find my wings
Find my wings
Can a raven ever sing
Or just scream about everything
The sun should warm my face
But black feathers erase
The light
Call it a product of abuse, depression, anxiety
But I’m just wondering when is it my turn to be happy
They left me with these broken limbs, frayed up heartstrings
All I have is hope that someday, I will find my wings
Find my wings
I’m in the winter rain, you feel me
The branches I cling to are breaking
I fear my strength is waning
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
For the touch of the sun
Falling
Find me buried
Swallowed
Broken and hollow
I am crystal, see-through, fragile and unmoving
My melancholy tune falls with silent snow
Can you hear the wind
Whisper through the trees
Though I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
Falling
Find me buried
Swallowed
Broken and hollow
Falling into the sky
Find me buried behind the cumulus gloom
Swallowed, consumed by blue
Gravity has forgotten me too
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
at the top of my lungs
Screaming
In this false security of mine
I feel your eyes, I feel your eyes
Undressing me piece by piece
I feel so naked, feel so jaded
Cheap, a plastic piece
Once upon a time, worth a dollar, now a dime
Worn, a perished thing
You’ve stolen all I was in just a second of your time
Shattered reality of passé toys
Handled and thrown away by girls and boys
Once loved now lost to these empty halls
We’re just a carousel of broken dolls
When all you see is flesh and bone
Where is the soul, where is the soul
Tearing out my voice and mind
Belittling my whole design
I’m useless, I’m hollow
You’ve made me this way
So useless, so hollow
You’ve made me this way
Shattered reality of passé toys
Handled and thrown away by girls and boys
Once loved now lost to these empty halls
We’re just a carousel of broken dolls
Is it dress up, is it dress down?
I feel so empty, feel so torn out
Color me by numbers
They say it’s all that matters
My future’s written in a code of lies
Shattered reality of passé toys
Handled and thrown away by girls and boys
Once loved now lost to these empty halls
We’re just a carousel of broken dolls
I’m useless, I’m hollow
You’ve made me this way
You’ve made me this way
Knock, knock, knock
Will you open the door?
Invite him in
And beg him for more?
Close your eyes, count to ten
Pray to God you won’t wake up again
Haunted by this apathy
Infiltrated by what you cannot see
We’re divided like oceans and sky
Hating them all
Berating them all
Just who is the enemy?
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Evil encompassing hearts
Keeping us at odds, holding us apart
We think we know it all
What is love, what is sin
All of us tired from the drugs we’re fed
Please wake up from this hell we’re in
The closet door creaking open
Don’t say a word
But in the silence
You know it has heard
He’s here with you
Now you can’t decide
Whether to tell him to go
Or run and hide
It’s fight or flight
Do or die
You will be afraid
When he eats your insides
BA-BA-DOOK-DOOK-DOOK!
Close the book
Don’t let him inside
He’s devoid of life
He’ll consume you alive
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Evil encompassing hearts
Keeping us at odds, holding us apart
We think we know it all
What is love, what is sin
All of us tired from the drugs we’re fed
It’s time to wake up from this hell we’re in
(Please wake up)
Don’t let him in
With his sneaky grin
He’s quite a kook
That Mister Babadook
The shivers
That come with the night
Imprison me
I’ve no will to fight
A lifetime of lies
Has made its mark
When the moon will rise
I am a child, afraid of the dark
Teddy, oh Teddy
Will your softness provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Hold me
Or I’ll disappear
I fight this disease
Year after year
And they all said
I am so strong
But when my blood runs cold
They’ll know they were wrong
Mommy, oh Mommy
Will your sweet love provide
The shelter that I need
From the monsters that hide
Underneath my bed
And where the shadows lie
At the end of the day
I am still afraid to die
Daddy, oh Daddy
Will your abuse provide
The very skills I need
To attempt to survive
Wounds that you made
When you told me to die
At the end of the day
Your addiction is satisfied
All this innocence you stole from me
Taking me, making your pawn
Well stupidly, I find this sadness endearing
Tell me is that so wrong
I never knew that sorrow could be so addicting
Baby give me more of your drug
My heart is reaching into shadows
I am dancing with my demons
Whoa, you’ve got me believing there’s a sweetness in suicide
Take a fool, make me a tool
Poison me like a morphine drip
Steady and so enticing
Who cares if it’s a bad trip
I never knew that sorrow could be so addicting
Baby give me more of your drug
My heart is reaching into shadows
I am dancing with my demons
Whoa, you’ve got me believing there’s a sweetness in suicide
This melancholy is so numbing
Darkness from the inside out
This black bird knows no song
Hostage and proselytized
I never knew that sorrow could be so addicting
Baby give me more of your drug
My heart is reaching into shadows
I am dancing with my demons
Whoa, you’ve got me believing there’s a sweetness in suicide
Suicide
Oh this bittersweet taste
Someone save me from this cage
I slaved for you
Like a puppet I danced for you
Blind behind these vacant eyes
I sat and watched you feed me lies
Only now could I see you for what you are
It’s too late, my time is gone
I wished it all away too soon
To be with you
You buried my heart
Hidden in a sarcophagus
The stone decrepit and falling apart
Was it that insignificant
Was my love only a door
And nothing more
I looked into your deception and saw what I thought to be truth
My story’s told a thousand times
A shattered soul used and abused
Reality trembles as you show yourself
I only wanted a happy ending too
A happy ending too
Only now could I see you for what you are
It’s too late, my time is gone
I wished it all away too soon
To be with you
Like a hushed inhale, life entered her shell of a body. Cold chills crept across her skin as though she was thawing ice. Her eyes fluttered open, and she lay there, questioning existence and all that remained. Avei felt empty- void of all feeling and motive. Then, as a single heartbeat pulsed in her chest for the first time postmortem, she felt zealous to find the man that did this to her. There was a new righteous cause for revenge, fueled forward by an encompassing surge of a new emotion: pure and unadulterated hatred.
Knock me down
Kick me 'round
Kill my spirit, make me burn
You seek to destroy
This new flame I employ
Watch me rise
Glorious fire from the ashes I fell
Watch me rise
Brace yourself for the triumphant yell
This fight isn't over
Like a brilliant phoenix
I will rise
Like a lion
You have a thunder roar
Lumbering around
Seeking who you may devour
We stand to fight
Oh, just try to take this light
Watch me rise
Glorious fire from the ashes I fell
Watch me rise
Brace yourself for the triumphant yell
This fight isn't over
Like a brilliant phoenix
I will rise
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
We all fall down
Watch me rise
Rise
I will rise to conquer
The darkness underneath it all
Rise
Who am I
Am I still here
I look in the mirror
To see what they see
Nothing’s there
Invisible, why was I born
You don’t make mistakes but sometimes I wonder
Black sheep
Your wool is different, how they stare
Black sheep
You’re so valuable, but they don’t care
You want to fit in
But your mortal sin- you never will
Black sheep
Was I wrong
Have I fallen
I try so hard
To be what they will see
Notice me
Why can’t I be like you
Black sheep
Your wool is different, how they stare
Black sheep
You’re so valuable, but they don’t care
You want to fit in
But your mortal sin- you never will
Black sheep
The shadows of my existence
Only arbitrate my persistence
There’s worth in there I know
I know
Black sheep
Your wool is different, how they stare
Black sheep
You’re so valuable, but they don’t care
You want to fit in
But your mortal sin- you never will
Black sheep
