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

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."
