Conjecture 02:20

Erase 02:44
(Erase my thoughts) Erase my thoughts. Please help me. I'm at a loss. I'm better off gone. What would even change? I'm toying with the thought. Devoid of all faith. I am sorry. I have strayed from the path in which I know you wish I would follow. IS THERE STILL HOPE FOR ME?(x4)
3.
There's nothing left for me to say. I speak too softly anyway. Unable to form any thoughts. It always comes out as an "I don't know". There's nothing left for me, and all these things i've seen just continue to haunt me. how do you suggest I move past them? I don't know how to get past this. Maybe it will all pass in time. but time stands still the fucking same. There must be another way.

I caught a glimpse of a leaf falling from a tree, through a window. I felt a change in the weather that day. The air was getting cold. The pouring rain painted in circles. No one really cares. The world is never fair, but that's what we deserve. I hope that one day we won't see a thing, and I'll find it reassuring that one day we will be okay, and you'll take me to the place where I will suffocate. No one really cares. The world is never fair, but that's what we deserve. Hopeless days dragging on. Losing faith until it's gone. Must be a way to restore what's gone. Must be a way...

Sorry... 02:46
They're back again filling my head with poisonous thoughts. Wishing I could numb these feelings. You are the only thing keeping me from taking my own life. Why can't I ever feel right inside my own head? Everybody treats me like I'm only a shell of what I once was. I wish you knew the younger me; still happy, not hopeless, not deprived of affection. I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry...

Travesty 02:10
It seems the world collapses when I'm left alone, when there is no one else around to keep the structure of this home. My thoughts get strange until eventually they go blank, and I have no other choice but to stare off into space. but space goes on and on just like this pit of despair created by a travesty of freedom, and happiness. I need someone to help me obtain at least a false sense of joy. You took one look into my eyes, and began to cry. I can't blame her, but I try to leave those thoughts behind. Now I've left them behind...

Submerge 04:53
So many things left unsaid. Never to be said. Always so sad. "Are you okay?" You ask me everyday. I waved to myself in the mirror. My hands cry for my eyes. Waiting for the explosion in fear. Hoping it's not time to say our goodbyes. When everyone is dead what's it going to be worth? Trying to fight off this dread. I might as well just submerge. I waved to myself in the mirror. My hands cry for my eyes. Waiting for the explosion in fear. Hoping it's not time to say our goodbyes. I could feel my pulse throughout my body. (x8)

Without You 02:18
I just want to walk with you. And I just want to talk to you. Inside I could watch a film with you. I just want to walk with you. And I just want to talk to you. Inside, we could watch a film on the screen I'd watched so many without you. And it makes me sad that we can't have what I wish we had. But I'll make things work, while I'm messing around inside my head. I just want to walk with you. And I just want to talk to you. Inside, we could watch a film on the screen I'd watched so many without you.

Hopeless 01:24
I should've gone to sleep hours ago. It doesn't matter now, because it's time to go. I just can't bare to look into the light. I've never been so scared to continue to live my life, and if i told you, you could make everything alright, would you take the chance? But I know there's nothing left for me now. That's why I'm walking aimlessly throughout town, trying to find something to spark my interest. I'm so sorry, I've caused all this pain. I wish there was a way to make everything okay.
10.
Hurt 03:01
I plant my feet on the floor to make sure it's still there. Depressive thoughts fill my head unannounced, and i'm never aware. i can't express myself, and these thoughts always make my head go cold. If there is a God in heaven, then I will kill myself so I don't have to grow old. It couldn't hurt just to try it out.(x4) I'd rather hurt than try it out.(x4)
11.
Lost 05:26
Here I lay, waiting for my next mistake to be made. Staring blankly, fighting off tears, so you don't have to see the pain that lives inside of me. I'm only happy with past memories that were never real. I get lost in my emotions, have to search for an exit in the darkness of my mind. I'm a silent film with a catatonic lead. I must be nocturnal, or I never get any sleep. Sometimes I wonder what would change if my life ended, but I would never be able to find out. I've been here many times, but somehow I'm still lost.(x4) I'm alone. it's always this way. Hoping that maybe I'll become sane, I probably won't. It just doesn't seem feasible. I've been her many times, but somehow I'm still lost.(x4)
12.
I think I saw a ghost. Or is it just me looking in the mirror? It's gotten really hard to tell with the dazed stare I give myself. I must be living in a hell. I am trapped inside my mind.(x4) There is no more hope for me, I am trapped inside a bad daydream.(x4)
