These are dark times And dark times call for the lightless methods By the ominous will anonymous hatred dissolve Our character soon shows it's uncovered face The human race knows not what comes before it To accept is your salvation Deny as you have and nothing will change Deny as you have and purgatory becomes you Chance of survival plummets downward How hard could it be to take a life And leave his wife with nothing? All for a possible greater something? Fear consumes Oblivion follows I just want it all to be okay for you and me I just want...anything So maybe someday, someone will find me as more than memories I just want you I just want the valley I just want bridges I just want bodies I just want it all to be okay Playing God is below us all A proper king wouldn't want to be

Van Nuys 02:53
You have a disconcerting outlook that my eyes can't meet with Your words wear reassurance and yet our stability's absent Rip me in half again and again I am small and I am empty Because every time I had to leave I left you with a part of me And now all I am is this hole to show you what you mean to me On the subject of balance The read on your scales is so backwards That a defined home has made home in the back of your mind Narcoleptic loyalty Septic priorities The point is that while we're waiting for you to come back You're forcing yourself into a world without us A gesture of abandon, it seems Icing over Huddled in a corner Making your peace with fate Our grasp is forever towards you Your latest creation is worry But your brand is hurried So won't you scurry on back, my friend? Your word is soon to go bad And I'm sorry if I scared you away with the waterworks, but it's just that you're family to me, and I don't throw that around like it's nothing You have a place in my heart, damn it I just want to see some reciprocation I'll write a billion words in a million books and never be able to say the thousands of things I need to make sure are remembered until we are sewn back together Of course the only way to get us close is to tear us from our homes So won't you turn the music up in the head phones and come fast back home? The inevitable hurting shows The uncomfortable anger grows So come home, come home, come home

In a similar style You, like Christ, worked your way into superstition Mouth caked with filth Syrupy cusses gather around my gums Crutches? Are you so weak? Take a look at yourself and see why things aren't going the way you planned First and foremost make this worthwhile Unhinge the jaw and let loose (Have faith in what's yours) Don't fear the obstacles But tear them to pieces (Believe me, there's no way out) This is the kind of baggage that you should leave unattended Instead your grip loosened on our end It tightened on their's And when the devil saw his chance He snatched us right up Now infants are foaming at the mouths Carving their flesh at such a young age Who's to blame? Who's to say? My money's on the one hiding to save herself Have you ever seen someone rise? And if you have, did you stay to watch them fall? Earthquakes are simply mistakes and we're only human The sandbox you used to play in was lost from view so abruptly that I could have sworn that you were strangers To me and yourselves

I can't quite tell you what I'm thinking Because I haven't quite figured it out yet She loves me She loves me not Well she pities And she finally found her reason to let me down slowly Who do you expect me to be? I am all that I am because of the things that make me (For once) open your eyes and close your mouth and hear what I have to say You act like an actor until we're face to face Do you think that I can't see inside you? Lie to me Be a man Just this once(tell me what your thinking) Bury me in everything that you've been suppressing Safeties off And I am a loaded gun Someone pulled the rug out from under me I'm slipping and the only thing left to grasp onto is what's left of my city And the edge that I've been so familiar with And Winter has her way with me again And now the only thing left to grasp onto is... Safeties off and I am a loaded gun I am who I am

Vertigo I'm heading for the floor And refusing to reach for a hold of safety Maybe you won't catch me So what happens now? What happens when the pinnacle of mankind falls? All hope is lost To most this would be failure But i learn from my mistakes The truth to it, if I ever knew it But we could all be wrong Taste the sores in your mouth And you just try and tell me that they don't make you smile Would you treasure your bile the same? What's the value of being ashamed? Does pre-produced sadness deserve it's acclaim? Damn you like you damned me to the bottom of Styx I blossomed under the devil's feet And dragged my covered body back up to the surface Every pull, another part of me Stains and remains: I am told on the very walls of hell How ironic that you would fall for the fel I hope you sell yourself for just a day to see We're taking a waltz back into the darkness to play with fate Who's coming with us?

What eats at my heart will eat at your thoughts In the same way these words devoured our ties Any strength I have left's an illusion Conjured by these selfish conclusions See the fear on my shoulders? My courage forsaken? Yes, I have mistaken you for the shepherd and so much more I last expected a tyrant A worthy archetype of the crown But we all play the fool one time or another (I expected so much more from you) But a spectacle of paranoia eating away potential is all I get Shattered bones and accepting the overgrown is the closest we'll ever be to perfect These decisions kill me A part of our friendship that I don't understand There's no lost pride in admitting I'm wrong every now and again We’re both troubled souls I’m a hollowed whole who finds his filling in how we feel Reveal, I beg you, reveal I'm only giving you more reasons to push me away What I want the most is for you to stay My intentions are in your favor And I’m happy to be here again My faith has grown and with it Limits will be broken

Ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner I'm fasting for weeks to the god of "make me thinner" Sugar got around? She's a pageant winner All this flesh is the sound of a textbook sinner Vandalize our nest, it's what's best for me Brothers, intake bleach so that I know what I'm missing Burn everything Know no safety To shout about ulterior motives I'm the culprit and the victim If I can't find time, bury me alive Play off all of your blessings as if luck holds to your fate You forget common decency to make room for your hate I cannot relate Who's left to wait on me when my whole world's gone lazy? Maybe I can cause a ruckus when that whole world's gone to sleep Here I go again Always trying to explain my self, my actions Let me look into limiting leisure Respond around rope around real tight I'm waiting to hear your confession I want my supports to give Abandon me, I need penance Crash down, oh, life I live

My drama’s only on once a week I spend my spare time watching others Biting success is biding time to live What’s the foundation to a present love affair? Why the contraceptives when we’re running low on air? You've spun a social tension completely from spite So what if I die tonight? So what if I pride myself in the fact that I’m pure as a fucking pig? You’re replaying old tapes of your relapses as the structure protecting you from another collapses Are you still playing rockstar? Well I’m still a kid that no one understands Comments you make always trigger a fit My style over yours? I’m sick of this shit Biting success is biding time to live I’m always screaming to at least one kid Fellow Rylans: Victory or death What have we been born into? I can't tell if I've been blessed or cursed Because they say ignorance is bliss And, by God, I think I know too much already Are you still playing rockstar? Well I’m still a kid that no one understands.

I stand behind myself Both with empty books in hand "The trick is in the broken spine," he said to himself He would say to himself Time has left me with what I wouldn't expect And time has left me A lot has left me a man In his image, I bled What does that make him and more importantly what does that make me? This mind grants me the will to be better These memories will miss you forever These tears make me stronger than you Calluses grow roots into fertile calluses I'm becoming who I wanted to be Not the fairytale drunk who beats his regrets Or the darling whore who uses self esteem as currency I am every choice you wish you made Every doubt and belief have stained my pages And you have shared your blood with me Though some have dripped blackest falsehood, none has been spilled by you Your flaws may break you but they still make you who you are And the last line read: "Life has taught me friends you'll never know."
