Sirens III

I hear red and white and sirens
Like thunder and lightning under my eyelids
Let me die quiet
In terrified silence I couldn’t find before
Wish I could let go
But everything echoes, everything echoes
Stuck in this in this dead zone
Memories get so frozen inside
And if I could get away
I wouldn’t be here
Live another day
And never see fear
Everything is fine
You’re in denial
Occupy your mind
Until you spiral down
And I can tell that you can still hear the sirens
And I try to tell the truth
But it never comes out the right way when
I’m lying next to you
And I always hold back what I say
When these sirens cut into my lifelines
Never found the right time
To tell you anything at all
All I hear is
I’m on the highway
There’s nowhere to escape
From everything you told me
When you set the record straight
And this is my blame
That I could never take
Cause I’ve been disingenuous
Since 1998
And I survived pain
With demons I create
The vices I rely on
Keep reality at bay
And I deny faith
But I swear I used to pray
That we would reconcile
From the fires that we made
And if I could get away
I wouldn’t be here
Live another day
And never see fear
Everything is fine
You’re in denial
Occupy your mind
Until you spiral down
And I can tell that you can still hear the sirens
I let this get inside my head
Time and time again
In every epilogue I’ve read
Seems like they never find the end
All I hear is sirens
Sirens
Screaming out my name

I don’t think I can take anymore
The feeling is dangerous
I had too much and woke up on the floor
But that couldn’t save us
I put back together the pieces again
I did it in vain though
Cause every memory starts at the end
When everything fades out
I couldn’t say no
I told you I would be fine
345 was a lie
You lit a fire inside
I tried to hide
I was entirely blind
The funeral pyre was bright
But I couldn’t die
I tried to open my eyes
But I never woke up in time
Try as I might
You still confide in me why?
I still reply
I don’t think I can take anymore
Enough with the past though
I pull up at 4:56 at the door
Familiar back roads
The last couple weeks gave me reason for hope
But regret’s inescapable
I fumbled the words every time that we spoke
I think I’m incapable
I can’t escape
I don’t think I can take anymore
I don’t think I can take anymore
There's nothing left to say now
Cause we felt these scars buried way down
Like a tell tale heart
But we breakdown
Just like disconnected satellites in the sky
Were burning bright
Find a room with skylight windows make me sit there inside
So when my vision fades it looks like ‘86 in the sky
I can't be saved now
Just like before
I don't I can take anymore
I don’t think I can take anymore
There's nothing to say
We tried to put this behind us before
It’s stuck in the way
It's gathering slow like a storm on the coast
It's coming its imminent
Tearing apart what you wanted the most
But you were indifferent I wasn’t listening
She never wrote alibis
Damage Control was a lie
You lit a fire inside
I tried to hide
I was entirely blind
The funeral pyre was bright
But I couldn’t die
I tried to open my eyes
But I never woke up in time
Try as I might
You still confide in me why?
I still reply
I don’t think I can take anymore
There’s no end in sight
How much can you possibly try to ignore?
When you’re home for the night
And shadows emerge from the corners again
I just wanna try and sleep
But into the darkness you slowly descend
With fear and anxiety zero sobriety no I can’t take anymore
I let this get inside my head
Time and time again
In every epilogue I’ve read
Seems like they never find the end

Chaos Again
03:30

I woke up in the waves in a daze as the tide rose
Tried to swim away I’m afraid
To fall back underneath
The deepest depths where it crept with its eyes closed
Left a secret hex on my head
I’ll never breathe again and I know
It left me there for dead on my own, I’m cold
Your memory befriended my ghost
Just a delusion from an ending I wrote
The chaos feels like home
I saw your eyes wide open late last night
The ocean floor felt fine
I think it's by design I’m broken down inside
Erosion cuts with time
I know that I said I said there’s a light that’s up ahead
You said you said if you follow it you’re dead
I said I said there’s a light that’s up ahead
You said you said if you follow it you’re dead to me
I swore I saw the coast I was close to the shoreline
Tired and exposed in the cold
It pulled me underneath
And took me down just to drown for the fourth time
Buried underground with your doubts
I’ll never leave again and I know
It left me there to dig my own my grave, my home
Your memory befriended my ghost
Just a delusion from an ending I wrote
The chaos feels like home
I let this get inside my head
I think it time and time again
In every epilogue I've read
Seems like they never find the end
If you follow it your dead
You said I can see you down there
Heard your voice in my head
Drowned slow but you never found where
If you follow it you're dead
You said I can see you down there
Heard your voice in my head
Drown slow the chaos feels like home

Thirteen Years Later

I hate that I wrote that song about you
Hate that I just moved on without you
Hate that a constant fog surrounds you
Hate that I never talked about you
I hate that I never thought to doubt you more
Cause I was thirteen with a mind conflicted
I hate that you can't describe your sickness
Hate that you had prescribed addictions
Hate that you made your life a prison
I hate every night that I found on the floor
But it's never as black and white as they make it out to be
I remember the good and bad and the spaces in between
I let it be
You couldn't see
And then you couldn't breathe
I let this get inside my head
Time and time again
In every epilogue I've read
Seems like they never find the end
It's been thirteen years now
Since I laid these fears out on the floor
Wish you heard me clear now
I had to take these mirrors down once before
Self destructive no control
I hate to say I told you so
I wish you tried to make amends
I'll never see your face again
I hate to think its like that
If l bring your life back I would
I hope you're better off now
I hate that my head is a mess
I hate that you never confessed
I hate that it led to your death
I hate every night that you siphoned the vicodin I couldn't find any left
Hate that you had no humility
Hate every fear you instilled in me
Hate there was never stability
Hate all the mental fragility
Hate that your memory's killing me
I still wrote this song about you
Willingly
You weren't there when I needed you
So much for responsibility
You had some cuts that were bleeding through
I could have tried for civility
You could have been more agreeable
Cause they really needed you
But it's never as black and white as they make it out to be
I remember the good and bad and the spaces in between
I let it be
You couldn't see
And then you couldn't breathe
I let this get inside my head
Time and time again
In every epilogue I've read
Seems like they never find the end

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.
