And I'm lost without you here with me Cause I have lost just about everything And my skin breaks and starts to bleed I'm weak and I haven't got the urge to eat There's something off about my brain The way I act, and feel, and think So here's what I've brought next to me A shovel and a gun now put me to sleep I've have gotten worse since we last spoke I think about my past and begin to choke I've done so much wrong to my family Can't understand why they put up with me So if I die here where would I go Anywhere but here I hope Jesus son the father piss in holy water Jesus son the father the room is gettin hotter Jesus son the father piss in holy water Jesus son the father kill me like your daughter I've have gotten worse since we last spoke I think about my past and begin to choke I've done so much wrong to my family Can't understand why they put up with me So if I die here where would I go Anywhere but here I hope

I always knew I'd be back here Cause I have some much to say I don't know how to handle shit That I deal with every single day But I've got a lot of problems And I've got too many thoughts So I'll scream them to the void Just in case you forgot I hope you turn this shit off go find something better If my brain isn't enough Then I'll pull the trigger I can't pull this shit off So I'll put on a sweater If I could just die right now I'd feel as light as a feather Im still not happy No matter how shit goes I have all I want But still my hearts broke Sleep is an issue and so is my drinking So I drink like I'm drowning And shut off when I'm thinking I hope you turn this shit off go find something better If my brain isn't enough Then I'll pull the trigger I can't pull this shit off So I'll put on a sweater If I could just die right now I'd feel as light as a feather If this shits all I've got I guess that's a bummer There's a hole in my sock And I fucking hate summer Why does it have to be so hot I really miss the winter I could freeze my whole heart Just watch it get colder I hope you turn this shit off go find something better If my brain isn't enough Then I'll pull the trigger I can't pull this shit off So I'll put on a sweater If I coud just die right now I'd feel as light as a feather I hope you turn this shit off

When will enough be enough, In our last moments we'll regret all we done, All the pollution an damage done to the sun, Acting like we have another world but this is our only one, you'll pray to your god and ask him why it sux, but he'll say it was you, but you were too worried about who other people fuck I can't help but say these words out loud, You can only hold so much in before it comes out, its breaking my heart so instead I'll shout, maybe now you'll figure it out, I dont need a reason to take my life right now So When will you see that you're privileged, Worrying about a vote like it makes a difference, they'll say anything to fool you to be their audience, we dont even share their same interests, I just wish you'd stand up and resist this, you're too afraid and they're making richest, while we're to poor to afford a therapist I can't help but say these words out loud, You can only hold so much in before it comes out, its breaking my heart so instead I'll shout, maybe now you'll figure it out, I dont need a reason to take my life right now I'm breaking down and I'm loosing my patience,I cant handle this my only thought is violence, you might think that's wrong but so is your silence, I wont sit back and watch you ruin my existence, at this point its over I'm through with your ignorance I can't help but say these words out loud, You can only hold so much in before it comes out, its breaking my heart so instead I'll shout, maybe now you'll figure it out, I dont need a reason to take my life right now

I'm back to hitting snooze again I haven't heard from my friends I'm alone in this bed Should I stop while I'm ahead Have I done something right Is this another lonely night I remember what you said I still wish that I was dead once a day I just want to love myself I don't want this mental health I know I need some help But that's not coming easy I don't want to grind my teeth I just want to get some sleep I just want to grab a drink But no one will come with me I'm always thinking about the ending Here we go with my thoughts I know I look distraught I have these bags under my eyes They carry all my tears and lies I can't believe this is where I at This is life this is what you get I feel like I was born to loose Now I'm carrying a noose around my head I just want to love myself I don't want this mental health I know I need some help But that's not coming easy I don't want to grind my teeth I just want to get some sleep I just want to grab a drink But no one will come with me I'm always thinking about the ending

Super Hero 04:03
Spending another night here at my home Wasting it away staying glued to my phone Watchin the same damn shows over again Going from screen 2 screen & masterbation I already cleaned my apartment last week The future just makes my stomach weak Its fine I'll just stay here drunk tonight Until my eyes start fuckin up & loosin sight Haven't made my bed in nearly months And I fall asleep before basically everyone At least when I sleep I can't make mistakes No I'm not feeling down life's fucking great Another day and I feel like an idiot Another night and I'm ready to end it This isn't a cry for help is just the way I cope I'm usually laughing cause I'm such a joke You'll see me smiling its probably my mask A super hero with a disagreeable task So I'll hide my identity from all around me With all these feels but still feeling empty Its a Friday night so I might go out for once I do it so I can have some type of nuance I don't want anyone to worry about me I don't feel this way so it can effect you too A lot of the time I do this all to myself I built these walls and created my own hell Another day and I feel like an idiot Another night and I'm ready to end it This isn't a cry for help is just the way I cope I'm usually laughing cause I'm such a joke You'll see me smiling its probably my mask A super hero with a disagreeable task So I'll hide my identity from all around me With all these feeling but still feeling empty So why am I built like a sand castle I'm only supposed to be here a little while One major wave and I'm fucking done for Thats alright I dont want to be here anymore Another day and I feel like an idiot Another night and I'm ready to end it This isn't a cry for help is just the way I cope I'm usually laughing cause I'm such a joke You'll see me smiling its probably my mask A super hero with a disagreeable task You want to know how I'm doing don't ask

I feel awful today, I feel just at a loss. I feel like I really have no one. Like I really have nothing. I feel that I'm just a burden to everyone around me. That I'm nothing more than someone my family and friends just put up with because they are to afraid to tell me the truth because they're afraid of what I might do. I feel like my mental illness isn't going to get any better, and it just brings me down. I feel no matter how much I achieve, I will still be held back by it. And it will always make me feel like shit. And keep me from my full potential. I feel like my ideas, all of them, are only good idea to me. And everyone doesn't like them, doesn't want them, doesn't care. Today sucks, and I hate days like this. I hate life. I'm not happy. And I'm fucking really good at pretending I am. I'm so fucking good and making sure everyone around me "knows" I'm ok. But the reality is the exact opposite. I hate everything about where I am because I can't even enjoy the parts that are good anymore. Because everything else in my life attacks me so brutally. I hate to put all his on you, cause you can't do anything to change it, and as much as that terrifies you, it terrifies me. Cause even the people I love can't fix it. And it means I can't escape it. I hate myself. I can't be myself, because I don't even like who I am. This isn't fair to you, but I have no one else to say this to. Other people can't handle it, some really don't care. And others I've exhausted them with how I am

No you wont get a rise outta me I wont play your games You know you were my honey The last thing you said to me It wasn't the right time Now I want to OD By now you were looking at me With those eyes I could swear kill me I might have left your room but you left me Down the road of insanity Hold me, hold me Hold me close as I count to three Here we go with a gun to my teeth Watch ne close you don't want to miss me I'm gonna paint these walls that you built for me x2 I'm a mess I'm a wreck Watch you dress Kisses on your neck Hold me close as I count to three Here we go with a gun to my teeth Watch ne close you don't want to miss me I'm gonna paint these walls that you built for me x2

today I got an invitation to your wedding Reminded of a part of life Ive been dreading Now I have to face the way that I'm heading Holding onto parts of it hangin on by a thread The numbness is just a feeling of comfort I know I've still put forth so much effort I can't make myself feel better when I hurt So let's just make time fly by with substance I've always been afraid of getting older With each year the world's getting colder Is it just me or has time just slipped past me We always thought age would set us free But now tired and sad and thats how I stay Seeing less of the kid I once was everyday Now I'm staring at the ceiling and everything is gone My memories are a blur And I feel just like my mom Can't get back the better days Even though they were still wrong I grew up with abuse And now put memories I'm a song I made it to twenty five I hope you are still glad I spend my days and nights Constantly feeling sad My mental illness isn't mine I get it from my dad Constantly wondering If I'm just going fuckin mad I've always been afraid if getting older With each year the world's getting colder Is it just me or has time just slipped past me We always thought age would set us free But now tired and sad and thats how I stay Seeing less of the kid I once was everyday

Omaha Street 04:35
As empty as the other half of my bed As dark outside as the thoughts in my head I lay here without you for the 100th night Hard to admit the times I wasn't right Pitiful and lonely like the kid I once was As irresponsible as the God that left us And I finally know that I was ruined From the start And you taught me it was ok to fall apart My life was different from the other kids Always wondering why mine looked like this Church wasn't enough to change my mind Rub my eyes with mud until I am blind I don't want to see this shit all the time They way you love is a hate crime Looking around other people loving life Its obvious that I just hated mine And I finally know that I was ruined From the start And you taught me it was ok to fall apart My life was different from the other kids Always wondering why mine looked like this And I'm not sober until my life is over And I'm getting older weight on my shoulders And I'm getting colder I just want to hold her And I'm fucking up over and over And I finally know that I was ruined From the start And you taught me it was ok to fall apart My life was different from the other kids Always wondering why mine looked like this

about

Welcome to one of the most personal, and emotional albums I have done. In a time where mental illness gets stigmatised and romanticized, I had to shout my issues with my mental health and past trauma into the void. I hope this album make you feel less alone. I hope this album helps your trauma, your anxiety, your depression, your suicidal thoughts, you self depricatioon, your addictions.. Etc. Making this album helped me voice so much I keep bottled up day by day. All I want is it to help another human going through the same or similar struggles feel like they can find the strength to carry on. Welcome to the wierd world of my brain. Track 7. Synth done by the lovely Ira Virus (They/Them)
