1. DREAMING IS SINKING

The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
Trapped in a vessel going nowhere
Left me to rot in that bed for another
Bound to the anchor, still sinking deeper
Say the dead won't speak, but my sanity begs to differ
Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams
My soul reaches out to God, but he can’t reciprocate
The days and nights we spent, they're haunting me
This coma is a prison
This might be the last time I will ever speak
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising


2. VULTURES

Through these eyes, I watched you take
The spark that fights to illuminate
Trade her soul for your sickening needs
You are a cancer I will eradicate
It makes me sick
To watch you prey upon the innocent
But I can't stand by and simply be a witness
With each fist that splits open my skin
My legs fall as I fail to defend

Tell me how you still can fall asleep
When she hasn't shown her face in weeks
Tried to believe that she could outrun these demons
It's inhuman to be so cold
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head

Don't you see yourself for who you really are
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
From wishing you were dead

The bloodstained pavement is the only thing my eyes succeed at seeing
I'm slipping quick into unconsciousness
But I meant it when I said it, you're so pathetic

Worthless
Despicable waste
And when she's screaming out for help
Could you hear a thing she said?
The catalyst to keep her up at night

Don't you see yourself for who you really are
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
From wishing you were dead

Though she may forgive, the day won't come that she'll forget
But you are the reason that she stays awake at night
Though she may forgive, the day won't come that she'll forget
So when I call your name to seal your fate, you better listen
(You better listen)

Kicked in the teeth, the vultures circle around me and I see
No hope, no peace
I fade to black with the dark surrounding
No hope, no peace
I fade to black, I fade to black


3. COLD, DARK WINTER

I take a breath and try to recollect
Who I am and where I’ve been
I don’t recognize my own face
I don’t even remember my name

What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker
When you’re hooked up to synthetic machines
Just so you can breathe

Am I sinking or just dreaming?

Trapped in a vessel going nowhere
I try to reach you, but no words escape
Could you blame me if I felt like giving up?
Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave
To decease must be better than purgatory
The cynic in me is telling you to leave
But I can’t justify the end of life with no goodbye
It was just like a dream when I saw you at my bed
Felt your hand latching on, but no grip could be given back
I see her in my room crying tears for my endless sleep
I’d trade places, embrace it so you wouldn’t face it alone

Because I am
Trapped in a vessel going nowhere
I try to reach you, but no words escape
Could you blame me if I felt like giving up?
Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

Leave me to rot in this hospital
What a burden I must be
I don’t blame you if you leave
The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave
I feel a hand reach into my dream pulling me from purgatory


4. ABANDON

Abandon me
Face down in the gutter with no will to pick myself up
Left me to rot in that bed for another
Another one to take my place and your face is a fading memory
(A fading memory)
So tell me how you sleep at night
Knowing you left before I was awake

Before you leave to turn and run
I've got a mind to tell you what a disappointment
You have made of yourself in a single moment
See I'd prefer my eyes were blind
Than to sit and watch you leave me behind

So tell me how you sleep at night
Knowing you left before I was awake
Now I feel my heart divide
Knowing how quickly you cast me aside

You can't fathom what it's like
The subtle hell trapped in my mind
And at the end of the tunnel
You were the light shining so bright
What's the point when it always seems to die?
Left me to rot for another to die alone
Keep living your life like I never mattered to you

Before you leave to turn and run
I've got a mind to tell you what a disappointment
You have made of yourself in a single moment
See I'd prefer my eyes were blind
Than to sit and watch you leave me behind

So tell me how you sleep at night
Knowing you left before I was awake
Now I feel my heart divide
Knowing how quickly you cast me aside
Abandon and run, just like I did to you
So I don't see how you sleep at night
Knowing you left before I was awake

You don't know what it's like
To open your eyes to a dead light
Give up on me, I gave up on you
The first reaction is to abandon
Abandon me
Give up on me, I gave up on you
Give up on me, I gave up on you


5. SLEEP IN THE SEA, PT II (FT. GARRETT RUSSELL OF SILENT PLANET)

With my return, the water began to rise
It suffocates and buries you in the tide
Bound to the anchor, still sinking deeper

(Reaching up, reaching up, reaching up)
Reaching up towards the surface of the ocean
But I know I am buried too deep
Feel the sun's burning light when you start to rise
And I'll be cold at the bottom

[Verse 2: Rory Rodriguez]
Walked on the water but now I sink
To this cold, dark cemetery
Suspended in darkness, I've lost my mind it seems
From the visions of watching you spend your life with him
My reality is so crippling

Reaching up towards the surface of the ocean
But now I know I am buried too deep
Feel the sun's burning light when you start to rise
And I'll be cold at the bottom
I am the anchor that you had to break away from
I'm sorry I can't be the lighthouse to guide you when you're lost at sea

Take away, take away, take away my broken lungs
There was a hole in my heart but it's grown to be completely numb

[Rory Rodriguez & Garrett Russell:]
A fragment sustains this numbing pain
How can I know hope?
Dreams of drowning in the dark surrounding
No hope, no peace, the dark surrounding
The ice freezes the water where I sleep
I've lost the will to find a cause to breathe but you couldn't care less(so cold, at the bottom)

[Garrett Russell:]
Cut me out from perdition
Set my soul in suspension
Cut me out from my body
I'll drown in the void

Reaching up towards the surface of the ocean
But now I know I am buried too deep
Feel the sun's burning light when you start to rise
And I'll be cold at the bottom
I am the anchor that you had to break away from
I'm sorry I can't be the lighthouse to guide you when you're lost at sea
When you're lost at sea
When you're lost at sea


6. SIX FEET UNDER

I can't seem to think straight
I've gone completely insane
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under

I woke up to nothing but I don't feel it
They told me the cold sleep had caught up
All the time I wasted hating you but let's face it
Killing what you create as I'm calling out your name
And even though I know your heart has stopped beating
You’re still speaking to me

I've built this barricade
Brick by brick the structure pushed you under
Say the dead won't speak
But my sanity begs to differ

I can't seem to think straight
I've gone completely insane
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under

(Six feet under)

No, please don't rip her soul away
Cause I'm standing at her grave
And I refuse to accept she's gone

Doctor I'm on my knees
No medicine can keep
My head from hearing the words she's saying

I've built this barricade
Brick by brick the structure pushed you under
Say the dead won't speak
But my sanity begs to differ

I can't seem to think straight
I've gone completely insane
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under

I can't sleep to save my life
Your tied tongue just keeps me up at night
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under

If the blood stopped pumping through your veins
Then why do I hear you screaming out my name?
(Over and over again)

I never failed to remind you everyday
What a mess of a mother you became
But my regrets slowly eat away

I can't seem to think straight
I've gone completely insane
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under

I can't sleep to save my life
Your tied tongue just keeps me up at night
Cause though you're deceased and buried beneath
I still hear you, six feet under


7. HANGING BY A THREAD

Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams
My coma spanned for centuries it seems
When all you have is your mind and you’ve lost it
Whats left for you to try and find when your so exhausted?

My mother’s dead
My lover’s left hanging by a thread
But it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly
Around my neck

One foot on safe ground, the other hanging off the edge

Don’t you cry for me when I’m gone
Pick up this scattered debris
From the wreckage that I leave behind
You can’t save me
I’m not worth it anyway


8. DESOLATE

Is there a god looking out for me?
I’ve waited for what feels like centuries

There's no change
Barely coherent for a day
And misery comes at me like a freight train

The bitter taste, the barren waste
I collapse in this burning space
My soul reaches out to God
But he can’t reciprocate

Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams
My coma spanned for centuries it seems
Do you really understand just how desolate my world can get?
Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly
Around my neck

My world is so desolate

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Either way, I don’t know where I’ll end up

Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams
My coma spanned for centuries it seems
Do you really understand just how desolate my world can get?
Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly
Around my neck

My mother’s dead
My lover’s left hanging by a thread
Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly
Around my neck

The louder that I scream, no one hears me
The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming

The louder that I scream, no one hears me
The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming

Don’t you cry for me when I’m gone
Pick up this scattered debris
From the wreckage that I leave behind
You can’t save me
I’m not worth it anyway

One foot on safe ground, the other hanging off the edge


9. CARVED FROM STONE

I am a sculpture carved from stone
Waiting for you to come back home

Two years, I have been waiting
Every day I fold my hands and start begging
Your paralysis is constant but so is this simple truth:
I am a sculpture carved from stone
Waiting for you to come back home
I'm sleeping in scattered fragments
Killing time before your return

They can't tell me when you'll wake up
But I know you can hear my words

I'd cut my heart out
Just so you could see another sky filled with light
They tell me to let you go
That you are a ghost living inside a shell of someone I once loved

Two days, I haven't seen sleep
See, it's hard when my eyes burn and I can't breathe
My paralysis is constant but so is this simple truth:
As long as your heart keeps beating
I'll be here until I cease breathing

They can't tell me when you'll wake up
But I know you can hear my words

I'd cut my heart out
Just so you could see another sky filled with light
They tell me to let you go
That you are a ghost living inside a shell of someone I once loved

I am a sculpture carved from stone
Waiting for you to come back home

You can't just leave
Not after making all these memories
The days and nights we spent
They're haunting me
But they're the only things that keep me going

I am a sculpture carved from stone
Waiting for you to come back home

I'd cut my heart out
Just so you could see another sky filled with light
But I'll never let you go
You're not a ghost living in a shell of someone I once loved


10. COME HELL OR HIGH WATER (FT. JT CAVEY OF ERRA)

I wake up in my bed soaked in blood and sweat
It's all too real but I know it isn't
This coma is a prison
We used to say come hell or high water
Before the day I was left to be slaughtered
Helpless but hellbent on waking up

We used to say come hell or high water
Asleep for years but no rest
All I can see is darkness

I'm reaching out but it's not enough
Helpless but hellbent on waking up
So I cling and linger like a leech
But the truth is I could see you were starting to hate me

Come hell or high water
But I am drowning in this fire
Come hell or high water
The only truth of a wretched liar

We used to say come hell or high water
Asleep for years but no rest
All I can see is darkness
Living in a nightmare, an eternal black and white vision
This coma is a prison

I'm fixed in place under a spell I cannot break
Who will rescue me?
Who will rescue me?

Carry with me this prison at my side
If there's still a God in the sky, can he breathe life to what's dead on the outside?
I'm fixed in place under a spell I cannot break
Who will rescue me?
Who will rescue me?


11. COUNTERPART

Write these words down
Because they might be the last that you hear from me
Swore an oath for, for worse or for better
But I’m left here writing in my death letter
What a crippling thought to imagine it might never reach you
Just know, though, I’m lost
You’re my compass when I search for rescue

We lost ourselves caught it a tidal wave
Searched every direction, but I found no one the same
When you find yourself coming across a picture of us
Tell me truthfully, was I your only one?

Would you fall apart when you’d try
To erase every moment lost in time?
My love had a home in your heart
And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

I wanted to be the one to keep you warm when you were cold
Watch our lives play out, but I will be gone while you grow old
Grant me this last request before I meet the hands of death
When I’m buried in the dirt, remember us for what it’s worth

We lost ourselves caught it a tidal wave
Searched every direction, but I found no one the same
When you find yourself coming across a picture of us
Tell me truthfully, was I your only one?

Would you fall apart when you’d try
To erase every moment lost in time?
My love had a home in your heart
And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

My counterpart

You filled out my empty pieces
All the parts that I lacked
But I dragged you through hell and back
My hands bruised and bloody before I had an epiphany
That I couldn’t see, I was already in my tomb

This might be the last time I will ever speak
So listen to me, please

Would you fall apart when you’d try
To erase every moment lost in time?
My love had a home in your heart
And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

My counterpart, my counterpart


12. WAKING IS RISING

This is the bitter end
I can feel it
No longer can I pretend
I’m going to make it out alive
One final resting place
A hollow fate I can embrace
Is there relief in a dying world that sets me free?

I lie still inside that room
But in time I’ll be consumed
By the fire that rains down from the sky

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed
Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?
At my funeral they will read:
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

The last night that I saw you
I promised I would stay the same
But the awful truth is we never really change

No, we don’t ever change
This cataclysm will put me in my grave
No, we don’t ever change
But all I want is to see your face

(But all I want is to see your face)

I lie still inside that room
But in time I’ll be consumed
By the fire that rains down from the sky

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed
Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?
At my funeral they will read:
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

You’d think that after all this time I’d learn to give it up
But still I run and hide
But I cannot escape this place, this dream I’m dying in
I’ve run out of time

No one’s watching over me
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

The louder that I scream, no one hears me
The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming
I’ve fallen as the vultures start to circle
I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface
You gave up on me, I gave up on you

I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface

This is the bitter end
I can feel it. I can feel it

My eyes roll back
The world decays
I find relief
I’m no longer suffering

Will I awake to the light of day?
Or will the sun collapse and annihilate?

(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)
Will the sun collapse and annihilate?
(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)
Will the sun collapse and annihilate?
