Passenger ft. Rob of Until We Are Ghosts & Dayton of Consecrate
(R) I'm trying my best (M) I'm learning to stand (R) Still weak in the knees (M) I look at these hands
How do i kill, these feelings inside When theyre apart of me, plaguing my mind
Faced with these choices, my head filled with voices God what I'd do to drown out these noises I'm trying my best, I'm learning to stand Still weak in the knees, I look at these hands
The mistakes theyve made, putt off on a shelf.. I've finally come to terms, I've earned my seat in hell
We all have a past, yes this is true But it's not what we've done, it's about what we do How we move forward with the choices we make To put yourself in thier shoes and the steps they take
Our actions are the stone, thats been cast out to sea. Causing a ripple the eye cant see...
(C) The girl grew up in the salt of the sea, the heat of the sun All she had were her books She never cared for looks She wore her hair in a braid I remember the night, It was cold She was always alone I was never enough And this hope gets old I've got a passenger on this way down I feel my chest swell Who will i be when all the chips fall? Filthy hands and a hollow heart now Who will i be at the end of this? We're all questioning, is this really how we're supposed to be? Lost and all alone, but taught to kill off our empathy.
(Rob Anders of Until We Are Ghosts) I drive these nails into my arms. Collapsed on shattered glass, the reaper flips the hour glass. I hear the catacombs calling my name. I drown my pain in the lake with my faith. I feel this anger growing inside of me. As these chances drift further away This is a risk that I've been willing to take Doing whatever is best for me today. Never looking back on the ones who ever doubted me. Fuck your lack of faith and hope you ever had for me I'm trying to see what's right or wrong through eyes of hate But your words of shame won't ever influence my fate (Dayton Jones of Consecrate) Sometimes i do not understand myself I strive to do what is right, but i don't Instead i do what i hate And yes, my life is a contradiction I say one thing but do something else Everyday i am given a choice to live for myself, or to make a change But i am a product of selfishness and apathy I no longer want to do what i hate I need help I need change
