Insanity 00:46
2.
Volatile 02:07
My mind, throbbing, constantly shifting My intentions, disturbing Having trouble, focusing Broken perception No connection I'm unstable, irrational My frustrations eternal I've kept this wrath In far too long Aggression towards the world I won' t be handled I will cause harm Anger sweeps over me in a blur Can't control my nerves My mind imprisoned, forgotten and left alone Hostile, no denial There's something wrong with me Dejected, Neglected I just want to flee I can't ignore These erratic thoughts A constant onslaught On my shattered existence
3.
Unstable 01:39
You have me mistaken As someone who can be predicted Blaming me was an error Lack of effort, was your failure Don't doubt What I'm capable of
4.
Absent 02:20
Woken up in an unfamiliar place I don't recognize my own face Is this a dream, I can't tell I must be unwell No one to comfort me No way to keep my sanity Nothing to grab a hold Nothing to let me know if this is real I speculate it's too late For me to be saved My thoughts run rampant As my head keeps aching My comprehension, absent My mind seems to be breaking I envisioned a better life Free from being deprived The ability to live the way Ive always wanted I've lost all hope Misery, haunting me Pulling me deeper Into the unknown I will never escape this nightmare If I'm dreaming, wake me If I'm conscience, kill me I can't decipher what's real Release me from this hell
5.
Illness 02:27
The deeper I dig The more I lose control I feel grounded by the things that don't hold Any, Meaning, To me I can't stop myself from feeling bewildered I've never felt so disconnected with myself I'm starting to think I was cursed from the beginning The illness is eating away As my life begins to change Overwhelmed with sadness I can't get a grasp Of reality, I'm such a disappointment Doomed to dwell in this hell forever Tired of trying to escape my own conscience I pity myself for creating many problems I wreak havoc, upon myself I can't contain these feelings anymore My mind in a constant state of war Doomed to dwell in this hell forever Doomed to dwell In this hell
6.
Torn 02:22
Instability, plaguing me I foresee A life time Of struggling Trying to gain control of who I am And what I want to be They say I'm delusional But they just want to hold me down Illusions confusing me Dysfunction of mind and body I try to grasp, a new perspective My mind is ineffective They keep telling me, what to do I try to ignore them They keep telling me, what to do Just leave me alone Difficult decisions, weighing me down As I try to flee Lacking motivation, to withdraw myself From the equation
7.
Dream 02:13
I spent my whole life chasing a dream And now it's slowly killing me I'd do anything to make it a reality It's the closet thing I'll have to serenity My future is unclear Soon I'll be living with my biggest fear Nothing to show for the countless years From working towards impossible goals
8.
Madness 02:47
Viciosuly thinking, slowly descending Watching the sickness consume I collapse into the darkness It's the only truth, that I know In this mind, I can't escape. Escape Forcing me, into A life not worth living Always yearning for, something real This madness, destroying Any chances, of returning Abstractions, ripping My sanity Stricken with, agony Fighting for myself I fester away In this mind, I can't escape Relentless suffering, troubling my mind Clawing out of, what I'm confined Malicious thoughts blurring my judgement Everyday I grow… more distant I am not okay
