1. BEEN HERE BEFORE

So I'm thinking
How I am the one breathing?
Went as far as me bleeding
I don't think that you know

Yeah, I'm feeling
Paranoid, you might see it
Hide away for good reason
Keep away from you all

Stay, 'cause you need it
Break, for the feeling
Take, what you need from my soul
It's insane how we made it
Ashamed, but I'm chasing
Hate, that I've been here before

If you hate this
Try and say that you're blameless
Run away as I face it
Everything is my fault

Yeah, I'm speechless
Pushing through like I need this
Made me question my genius
Made me feel like I have no purpose at all

Stay, 'cause you need it
Break, for the feeling
Take, what you need from my soul
It's insane how we made it
Ashamed, but I'm chasing
Hate, that I've been here before

It's worth the pain
Don't be afraid

I'm just starting to feel it
Don't escape 'cause I'm done repeating

Stay, 'cause you need it
Break, for the feeling
Take, what you need from my soul
It's insane how we made it
Ashamed, but I'm chasing
Hate, that I've been here before

Take my hand
Feel the pain subsiding
Take my hand
Feel the pain subsiding
'Cause you been waiting on the right thing
Yeah you been waiting on the right thing

I'll give you the world
Won't leave you alone
You're all I can see
I won't let it go
I'll give you the world
Won't leave it alone
You're all I can see
I won't let it go

(I won't let it go)
(I won't let it go)
(I won't let it go)
(I won't let it go)


2. PRETEND

Say it'd never happen to me
Never give a fuck if we're hollow
Artificial pleasure and peace
Numb away the pain and the sorrow

No one cares to see we're sickening
Can't face the pain, can't make amends

So we just all pretend
All pretend
Yeah we just all pretend
All pretend
Racing to escape
Facing nothing so we all pretend
All pretend

Try to keep the trauma discrete
Fantasize a dream for tomorrow
Watch a child starve as you feed
Whored away the soul that we borrowed

No one cares to see we're sickening
Can't face the pain, can't make amends

So we just all pretend
All pretend
Yeah we just all pretend
All pretend
Racing to escape
Facing nothing so we all pretend
All pretend

Point the blame to anyone
Repeating this again and again
Look away from the damage done
'Cause this is how it always begins

So we just all pretend
All pretend
Yeah we just all pretend
All pretend
Racing to escape
Facing nothing so we all pretend
All pretend


3. SPARE ME

Lend me the world, the cracks in the pavement
Diamonds and pearls, the damned we've forsaken

Fallen like the ones here before
But I'm not destined to fade
I sympathize, some days hear their cries, melodies
Why am I not afraid?

Godlike, take away the empathy
Past life, nothing here for you to see
Give me something to feel

Spare me now, I've seen everything
I've seen what I need to see
Spare me now, just hold your beliefs
Just play on repeat for me

Fucking teach them, but they don't wanna be free
Sickness connects every thread
I sympathize, some days hear their cries, melodies
Why am I not afraid?

Lend me the world, the cracks in the pavement
Diamonds and pearls, the damned we've forsaken

Spare me now, I've seen everything
I've seen what I need to see
Spare me now, just hold your beliefs
Just play on repeat for me

Living a dream, follow their lead
Maybe you'll die for something
Living a dream, like a disease
All that you know is suffering

Living a dream, follow their lead
Maybe you'll die for something
Living a dream, like a disease
All that you know is suffering

All that you know is suffering
Pray that you die, you die for something

Time slips away, you die with nothing
Make your mistakes, we're all disgusting
It's worth the pain
