Cast Me Out To Sea

Slowly, it's changing me all that i've ever known is waiting for me something is changing inside this self-obtained heart of gold starting to doubt and repent, so wipe the tears and regret something has taken me slowly, it's changing me all that i've ever known is waiting for me. so give me the answers so give me what i need so i will never feel low again so give it to me if i won't dare think twice to sell myself short...my only goal is to put myself first so give it to me now, something that i've never felt or seen before it's over before it started over and over, i never amounted to anything, sorting reasons to remind myself of better days forcing me to perform under pressure giving everything that has ever fallen on to me because i'm willing to reap what i sow for the better nothing is ever what it seems. i feel it change me, it gives me what i need so i will never be the same again.

I have placed all of my faith into the hands of someone else (someone else) I don’t want to bleed this dry place the guilt over my head There’s a part of me that has died that you are still keeping under your covers You saw me lifeless there was nothing that could be done With nowhere to go, carry me through to the other side Carry me to the other side I have lost my way With broken wings, I fall to the surface Only so I’ll fall down that hole again I don’t know if I deserve this Now you know that I am hollow inside Now you know I’ve been stuck here in my lowest of lows Now I’m contemplating things that I would never have known Bring me to the other side I hold my hand out to you in desperation I found closure in the separation I have found all of this distance could bring us closer together You could say that I’m going through my darkest of days, I know Carry me to the other side I have lost my way With broken wings, I fall to the surface Only so I’ll fall down that hole again I don’t know if I deserve this Now you know that I am hollow inside I never knew what this distance could bring Carry me through to the other side of the world The World Carry me through to the other side, other side I don’t really want to wait for the tides to turn Show me a place where I can rest my head Carry me through, Carry me through

Shark Song 03:40
Open my eyes, this world is weighing itself down day by day Will we ever see the sun. Show me a world with the greatest intentions Because all I see here is a broken time with pointless intentions I know, it takes time to build yourself and the roads you take and the mistakes you make all build a better you Something's telling me to stay I wouldn't have it any other way You might see me again some day I'll be different then I will learn on my own I will be better off I will be better These eyes have seen better days But they'll see worse and I will be prepared I've been running in circles and it's destroying me Prepare yourself for when demons come and play Out come the wolves and here come the sharks Stand your ground This is a test, this is the first obstacle I will learn on my own

You’ll always be waiting for their weakest moment I could watch you die

Composure 03:47
Friendly faces in familiar places share the warmest embraces Head it’s all sung in phrases I’ve (been) handed a shoulder to wear a smile on my heart (smile on my heart) Frozen in time, we no longer share the same air We tread the same terrain with easy hearts Never to meet in the middle There’s no safety at all I’ve been living… I’ve been living A hollow shell Connected to what surrounds this feeling I’ve come as far as I can go Unable to see the light I am trying not to let you in How do I take it seriously? What the world wouldn’t do for me Let go of the darkness That is what they all will say But how do you fix what’s never complete? Because I’ve been thinking of all my mistakes As if it will do anything at all I’ve (been) handed a shoulder to wear a smile on my heart (smile on my heart) Frozen in time, we no longer share the same air We tread the same terrain with easy hearts Never to meet in the middle There’s no safety at all Friendly faces in familiar places share the warmest embraces Head it’s all sung in phrases I’ve been living A hollow shell Connected to what surrounds this feeling I’ve come as far as I can go Unable to see the light I am trying not to let you in How do I take it seriously? What the world wouldn’t do for me (the day you left, was the day I lost everything) Let go of the darkness That is what they all will say But how do you fix what’s never complete? (listen to me) Because I’ve been thinking of all my mistakes Friendly Faces

My Health 04:20
I’ve dug a hell of a grave one to fit all this disease I see the tears in my mother’s eyes I’d given up on myself, and put my faith into you in hopes that very decision would bring me somewhere new I’ve been killing myself for your entertainment I’ve been killing myself to bring me back to life I’ve been running in the dark covering my eyes killing myself for your entertainment I’m afraid I’m afraid of what I’ve become Sinking into a lucid coma I’ve dug a hell of a grave one to fit all this disease I see the tears in my mother’s eyes I’d given up on myself, and put my faith into you in hopes that very decision would bring me somewhere new I look into my future What I’ve become just might kill me I’m scared it might kill me I’m afraid I’m afraid of what I’ve become I’m losing my sense of self I’m losing my sense of self Killing myself for all of you to see killing myself for your entertainment killing myself for your entertainment nothing ever mattered if I died because I’ve created a reality where everyone’s a part of me but only if you believe, well otherwise, you’ll have to see… I’m afraid I’m afraid of what I’ve become Sinking into a lucid coma I don’t care I don’t care if it kills me This is something so much bigger than just me I’ve created a world where everyone’s a part of me Control was never lost, I spent too much time searching for my home When there’s a perfectly good one in front of me that I’ve created

Death was waiting, for you only for your weakest moments You’ve been chosen Killed what you could have possibly been Your story could and should have ended just like that Your story could and should have ended I’ve walked in the wrong direction while keeping sorrows underneath with every step, will it ever be too much? all the time Retribution for the complicated well-deserved mess for the complicated Alone in a room is where you’re meant to be self vs self, is for internal sight this soul refuses to let go of the light Alone in a room is where you’re meant to be Retribution for the complicated well-deserved mess lost so frequent lost in the precipice lost so frequent I’ve walked in the wrong direction while keeping sorrows underneath with every step, will it ever be too much? I’ve been lying As I slowly descend, I feel nothing as my body descend into the ground I am free
I am free Death was waiting, waiting for you only for your weakest moments Killed what you could have possibly been Your story could and should have ended I’ve walked in the wrong direction while keeping sorrows underneath with every step, will it ever be too much? all the time

if you wanted to be the person you wanted to be what’s holding you back? the other you, probably that other person analysing every move you make the voice that tortures you inside over every mistake if you never wake up, you will never see what a beautiful world this could fucking be if you choose to live so selfishly never expect a handout from them or me this is a world where you earn what you get and If you can’t fucking handle it then it won’t mean shit you see, the world will wait and see if you prove yourself but they can see through the bullshit, your masquerade won’t help the truth will set you free and when it hurts the most, that’s when you know it’s making you stronger when it hurts the most, that’s when you know that it’s making you stronger take your bullshit, and fuck off somewhere else, bitch I’ve spent my time amongst the best and worst the long road to heaven or shortcuts to my hearse stupidity can not be fixed and I won’t waste my time on scumbag pieces of shit

Please save me, I'm half living Teach me the ways of the world Losing sight of what's important, I turn the other cheek When faced with my prize possession I freak out, cut and run, never amount to anyone Why I feel the need to make everything complicated Crossing rivers and oceans, the best sight of the world in your eyes When my days are numbered, I give myself a second chance Take a step back to give you the world that promise I can keep I never knew what I had 'till it's gone, I've taken you for granted You'll never know what you had 'till it's gone Never again This heart is beating, one foot in the grey

This preconceived path to happiness - that I’ve painted in my mind has now taken shape in every shade - of grey stretched on the canvas I held my faith in the heart of all my peers, the passion ignites the highlight of these years I’ve held so dearly to every fear Dreams of days across the pond ignites the skies the fog in my lungs and hope in my eyes I built this land on the strongest foundations connected, this is my creation Bottle up every memory, throw it away thrown into the water, never to be found These are the days I will not forget Stuck in my mind, in a hollow shell You pull me out of it Into the world there is no heaven left to create We’re all connected (We’re all connected) there is no heaven left to create we choose the cycle we channel these emotions, our man-made disaster Close my eyes to see, what lies beneath Bottle up every memory, throw it away thrown into the water, never to be found
