I'm losing grip on my sanity My subconscious is tormenting me for reasons I can't even seem to understand I wear it every day like a boulder on my shoulders I can feel its weight, its crushing pressure Get me out of this broken shell Get me out of this mental cell Every day is repeating itself I have created a place to call Hell A place I can't even rest my head I wish I could be someone else instead Inflicting nothing but misery It’s taken everything Everything from me There's no escape, there's nowhere to run First thing in the morning I hear it calling my name I can feel myself collapsing The pressure is overwhelming Knock knock Who's there motherfucker? Me again, 5AM motherfucker! Fuck, why can't you stay out of my head? No, I'm never leaving you my old friend My old friend! Let's kiss the Devil's hand A place I can't even rest my head I wish I could be someone else instead Inflicting nothing but misery It’s taking everything from me

Overwhelmed over nothing the simplest thing appears frightening Concrete shoes are pulling me Dragging me down into the sea Ocean of anxiety Washing over silently Swallowing my being in totality Always broke, always tired No hope for things to get better Struggling every hour Just to keep my head on Hiding behind laughter As the air surrounding me grows colder No lighthouse, no lifesaver Nothing to guide me in the ruthless water No lighthouse, no lifesaver Nothing to guide me in the ruthless water

Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray Plunging in my self-decay I have lost my way I have lost my way Without a single sound, the leaves fall to the ground and the months keep passing me by I have lost my way I have lost my way Further and further, I stray The grains of sand carry on their descent Falling faster by the hour Tomorrow is already dead, murdered by these thoughts never put in motion Tomorrow is a day I dread; I fear that my actions won't lead me ahead I know I can do better instead I know I'm more than a threat to myself I know I can do better instead I know I'm more than a threat to myself Decades are fading before my eyes A quarter of life in the blink of an eye Fuck Quarter of life in the blink of an eye So many years gone by Decades are fading before my eyes A quarter of life in the blink of an eye Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray Plunging in my self-decay I have lost my way I have lost my way Without a single sound, the leaves fall to the ground and the years keep passing me by I have lost my way I have lost my way

New Design 02:29
No peace of mind Anguish dwelling in my skin Devouring from within Poison coursing through my veins Creepin’ its way inside my fucking brain No chance to find the state of mind You have been longing all this time How many days has it been Since you've been at peace within? Can't find shelter from the rain I never stop to feel the pain No peace of mind My heart is numb, my soul is blind I wish that I could make a change And free myself from these chains No peace of mind, My heart is numb, my new design Its breaching my defenses Petrifying my senses A constant crushing feeling Annihilating my well-being No peace of mind, my new design.

By a Thread 02:20
No one to blame but myself For the countless times I have tried and failed For the absence of stories to tell I blame myself Countless times I have tried and failed I let the addiction prevail I'm fighting against myself A battle lost a thousand times before I keep giving up instead of pushing further when it gets harder No one to blame but myself A war inside my head, the battlefield is leaving me brain dead My sanity is hanging by a thread Chaos is raging I just want it to end I just want it to end Countless times I have tried and failed I know I've got No one to blame but myself Just let the addiction prevail Let the addiction prevail A war is raging on inside my head My sanity is hanging by a thread Chaos is raging just make it end My sanity is hanging by a thread No one to blame but myself

Cruel, cold, evil hours Stripping us from what is ours Leading us all to be slaughtered Rich, poor, sons and daughters Soldiers of the reaper Carrying us to eternal slumber Shovels digging deeper Patiently waiting to put us under They never sleep, they never tire Dancing flame slowly dying The candle's melting as I'm breathing My own two lungs suffocating In the end, we are nothing Chacune d'elles te rappelle Que la dernière est mortelle Dancing flame slowly dying The candle's melting as I'm breathing My own two lungs suffocating Toutes blessent, la dernière tue Time’s up

So much to cherish Why don’t you open your eyes and appreciate You keep falling in the same old shit The fog of your mind is fucking way too thick Blinded by pain Negative mind Trying in vain 27 and I’m still afraid of the dark Slowly making my way out Seeking for comfort I’ve been locked in my own mind Climbing up climbing up I fall every time I keep seeking for comfort of any kind But I fall every time I’ve been locked in my own mind Climbing up climbing up I fall every time I keep searching for comfort of any kind The wrong type of help is what I find Down again Veiled perception The hammer falls on the head of the wretched Still afraid To make decisions The hammer falls on the head of the wretched Cynical motherfucker I hate the way you think I’ve been locked in my own mind Climbing up climbing up I fall every time I keep searching for comfort of any kind But I fall every time I’ve been locked in my own mind Climbing up climbing up I fall every time I keep searching for comfort of any kind The wrong kind of help is what I find

I thought I'd escaped it but it came back haunting me I thought I was over it but my thoughts won't let me be No communication, deprived of attention Rotten foundation for a doomed relation You kept it all inside, no fucking solutions (no fucking solutions) I could never live up to your expectations Bitch You never gave me the key I've always been the untrustworthy

Roaming 02:55
I often find my mind wandering the same places wondering if I made the right choices The people I've met, their names and faces Would it be the same under different circumstances? But I wouldn't change a thing Because the friends I’ve made are worth every tear Despite a few things left to worry about I'm happy to see how it all turned out I still have a few things left to scream about But these are the things I can't live without The passion that drives my days through ‘n’ trough Will always be for the abrasive and rude The yelling, the screaming for some is overwhelming But I’m not at peace until my ears are bleeding Despite a few things left to worry about I'm happy to see how it all turned out I still have a few things left to scream about But these are the things I can't live without
