Lyrics:

*Confessions I.*
I don’t know if I can go on
Breathing the air that I breathe,
Seeing the world that I live in,
And living the life that I live.
When all I want all day of everyday,
Is for time to stop so I can get ahead.
Life isn’t supposed to be this hard.
I shouldn’t always be this sad.
But no matter how happy I think I am,
There’s always still a part of me that is bad.
Bad in the way of my heart aching as millions,
Of thoughts go through my head on a daily basis.
The pain inside from the yearning and needing to see,
The one thing that makes my very life worth living,
And the knowing that if anyone knew exactly what went through my head in a day,
They’d all scared away,
And at that.
At that very thought.
Of being alone, it’s not unfamiliar.
I’m surrounded by people everyday,
But it’s like I’m living in a parallel universe.
Where the other me has made every possible right decision,
Therefore I make every wrong one.
On the outside, I’m a smart, caring individual, who knows exactly what their purpose is on earth.
On the inside, there’s two claws ripping through the bones of my chest, trying to escape.
They’re strangling my every breath, as my vision goes tunneled,
I can no longer see my end goal.
Only the chaos in the darkness that surrounds me.
When will this madness stop.
I beg the manic demon that sits in my toes, and springs up to my head whenever he feels welcome, to stop.
I beg him to give me a break and let me switch universes.
But not matter what words come out of my mouth,
They’re never the right ones.


*The Gallows*
intro:
climbing a totem to the promised land
who knew behind those eyes you’d be so f****** damned
hurt for it, hang for it, swing and then fall
hung from the gallows by the men that you walked on

verse 1:
you wish for your time on this earth
to be meant something, something of worth, but you’re
blinded by a face in the sky
a faith you cant begin to comprehend

chorus 1:
climbing a totem to the promised land
who knew behind those eyes you’d be so f****** d*mned
hurt for it, hang for it, swing and then fall
vitriolic and nonsensical
climbing a totem to the promised land
who knew behind those eyes you’d be so f****** d*mned
hurt for it, hang for it, swing and then fall
hung from the gallows by the men that you walked on

verse 2:
innocence burned with was called a witch, please oh please she pleaded just believe me

verse 3:
tell me father won’t you repeat your lines?
perfection in the roots growing southbound
save us mother, from the sins of our kind
you dug our grave under the grasp of the Holy Ghost

chorus 2:
climbing a totem to the promised land
who knew behind those eyes you’d be so f****** d*mned
hurt for it, hang for it, swing and then fall
vitriolic and nonsensical
climbing a totem to the promised land
who knew behind those eyes you’d be so f****** d*mned
hurt for it, hang for it, swing and then fall
hung from the gallows by the men that you walked on

outro:
walk with god
