Everything begins to decay
In a world so mundane, still these tragedies remain in my heartscape
Feel like I am floating away
Disassociate the feelings from events before me, my headspace
Feels like I'm unraveling, traveling from the scene
In a life that I would never have been
A normal life that I would never have seen, for it to lead
To a time I could not claim to be me
I couldn't claim to be me
I couldn't claim to be me
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To be normal in a time, a time like this
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To feel normal in a place, a place like this
Still resiliently hoping that my life could change
For the better or worse, I still look at my options
Will I ever be considered as an everyday man
Just living life on the cusp, of something so mundane
Could I claim to be me?
Could I claim to be me?
Has my life changed? Am I safe from the shadows?
In the waves of time, have I been lifted from the freakshow
I know, I never fit here to begin with, I know
Yet still I hold onto hope
Yet still I hold onto hope
Could I claim to be me?
Could I claim to be me?
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To be normal in a time, a time like this
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To feel normal in a place, a place like this
Everything begins to awake
In the spring of my life, I am choosing the path to stay

Wreak Hell

Wreak hell
To all my enemies, enemies in my head
There are friends that I could never be, never be in the end
Yeah I tried to kill them all, kill them all but I'm insane
So all I have to say is wreak hell, wreak hell, wreak hell!
Game over, it's over for all you maggots (fuck that!)
I am here and I'm queer, don't give a fuck how you feel
When you are looking for meaning in places you can't find
Just gotta listen to the voices you hear in your mind
Big guns and hot suns, you don't know hell
Till you give all your fucks up to someone else
I have died and I'll die again, don't fucking try me
Cause I am here to slay, now sashay away
Wreak hell
(Wreak hell!)
Here's a song written by voices in my head
They will only ever shut up when I'm dead
(Wreak hell!)
Integration's off the plate, they're here to stay
Know that I'm insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Coping for trauma the drama of it all, in my head
There is no mantra I need, when I've already got them
Friends or foes, a bunch of different characters
Know that I am insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Know that in sanity, sanity's not the same when your
Voices aren't happy and you're physically insane
No you aren't taken care of and you really do need help
Stop denying all this noise to yourself
I am worried, I always am, it's kind of what I do
I know my place in this system, but the cleaning's overdue
There is always more work for us to do
There is always some work for me to do
(Wreak hell!)
Here's a song written by voices in my head
They will only ever shut up when I'm dead
(Wreak hell!)
Integration's off the plate, they're here to stay
Know that I'm insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Coping for trauma the drama of it all, in my head
There is no mantra I need, when I've already got them
Friends or foes, a bunch of different characters
Know that I'm insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Wreak hell
Now darling listen here, and if you hear the rage
Break the cage on a new page, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine!
I am here, and I've always been, isn't that concerning?
I am you, and you're fake, isn't that comforting?
Now on the stage called life, masquarade your emotions
There is no one god, that you cannot kill
You're fine, you're fine, you're fine, who am I?
There is no one devil, that can kill my stride
(Wreak hell!)
Here's a song written by voices in my head
They will only ever shut up when I'm dead
(Wreak hell!)
Integration's off the plate, they're here to stay
Know that I'm insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Coping for trauma the drama of it all, in my head
There is no mantra I need, when I've already got them
Friends or foes, a bunch of different characters
Know that I'm insane but all I gotta say
(Wreak hell!)
Wreak hell

Blurry Haze
03:43
|
|||
How long has it been, since I last felt at all?
I have cut, bruised, and burned, yet continue to fall
Down this pit, there is nothing to see but the thoughts
And the phantom of somebody calling the shots!
Is it me? I don't feel I'm the one in control
My body moves along, still posessed by my soul
And I look from afar as I walk on my own
There is nothing in me but a haze I call my home
This blurry haze I can't control
I don't feel real, no I don't feel whole
This skin feels fake, doesn't feel like my own
And yet nothing feels real - like a dream, I walk alone
In this blurry haze
I walk alone
This blurry haze
I call my own
Spill my heart and my mind, have no idea who I am
As time spirals, and clocks spin, my heart is frozen
Let my mind rest easy, I will be free once at last
Bye for now, sown in my seeds, I see through my path
My hands are static, but I cannot feel my skin
I'm disconnected from the body that I'm in, and
My mind is sleeping but the body's awake
So please forgive me if I feel like I'm fake
This blurry haze I can't control
I don't feel real, no I don't feel whole
This skin feels fake, doesn't feel like my own
And yet nothing feels real - like a dream, I walk alone
In this blurry haze
I walk alone
This blurry haze
I call my own
I'm sleepwalking but this isn't a dream
Sleep talking but I just want to scream
I'm sleepwalking but this isn't a dream
Sleep talking but I just want to scream
(I'm not awake, I am not okay)
(I'm not awake, I am not okay)
Hovering off my body, yet still somehow inside
The stranger in the mirror, screams I'm dead inside
Everything feels fake, feel like I'm floating away
Drowning in a swimming pool, my mind's gone away
This blurry haze I can't control
I don't feel real, no I don't feel whole
This skin feels fake, doesn't feel like my own
And yet nothing feels real - like a dream, I walk alone
In this blurry haze
I walk alone
This blurry haze
I call my own
None of this feels real, It's all just a dream
Or is all of it real? It's so hard to see
All we know is that it all feels fake, in the end
And when I come back to me, it's too real to pretend

ily (I Lost You)
04:39
|

I love you
I say as desperation takes me over
The words are flimsy like the gun in your mind
The trigger pulled and we both know that it's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see her in my dreams
I wonder does she miss me
There is no love that lasts
Nobody to sedate me
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see him in my dreams
I wonder does he miss me
There is no love that lasts
Even this grief will pass
She killed me so many times in her mind
When I left, all the feelings I kept silent
In my chest, I cried for years my love
I tried for years and years and years
But the love does pass, and when I see your name
The hole I kept in my heart doesn't beat the same
If there is something I wouldn't give to see
The pieces of my soul that I left with you
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see her in my dreams
I wonder does she miss me
There is no love that lasts
Nobody to sedate me
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see him in my dreams
I wonder does he miss me
There is no love that lasts
Even this grief will pass
In time I've come to see the world as it is, as it is
In time I've come to realize the truth, and the grief
You wouldn't see me now, you wouldn't see what makes me tick
All the things that you once knew, you once knew to be true
I'll never grant your wish, forget disease or the rot
The immaturity and lies, and insecurity
Though I do not resent you, through all the colors of grief
I will never come back to you, you've lost me too
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see her in my dreams
I wonder does she miss me
There is no love that lasts
Nobody to sedate me
I loved you, I loved you
I lost you, I lost you, I lost you
Unforgiving in it's grace
Time moved on and replaced me
When I see him in my dreams
I wonder does he miss me
There is no love that lasts
Even this grief will pass

My Dreams Betray Me
03:36
|
|||
Ever since I've lost the things that made me, I
Needed to put all the memories down to rest
In my deathbed know the guilt has never left
Still my dreams betray me, old friend
My old friend
Loss!
Yet my dreams betray me old friend!
To wish I'd never have lost
To wish I'd never have loved
To never seen or experienced this end
My dear friend!
Everything begins to decay, once a life that was lived, will be a body in a grave and
I had lost all the things that I'd loved
And in the cycle of new, I'd never once questioned the loss
And my dreams betray me, old friend
There's a life that I had never seen, yet
In my dreams I have seen everything, then
When I wake up there are tears on my bed
Loss!
Yet my dreams betray me old friend!
To wish I'd never have lost
To wish I'd never have loved
To never seen or experienced this end
My dear friend!
Ever since I've lost the things that made me, I
Needed to put all the memories down to rest
In my deathbed know the guilt has never left
Still my dreams betray me
Old friend

Game Over
03:51
|
|||
If we ever meet again, let it be not in your head
But in a place - in a game, with our happy endings
Dissociation aside, I wish that I was on this ride
Have a body, have a reality outside your mind
I would be a friend - I wouldn't live inside
But I am who I am, and I ain't part of this life
My name's Matt
An alternate reality of who I once was, and who I aspired to be
I am a brother, a bother, I am what Nate's got under covers
Call me monster, I live under your fuckin' bed!
Imagination, a fictive of their creation
I am a gamer and gentleman, the lady's man
I am the bro, a sibling you wish that you had
And now I'm back so let's fuck up what makes you mad!
I was dormant for a while, now I'm back again
You told me I was your bro, and that we stayed the same
Elizabeth and the monster, the new dude and the kid
Even Shius was still there when I rose from the dead
Banish me from your memory, but still I remained
I went dormant but reality betrayed you again!
Now I am back and I'm livid, but that won't change the truth
I still hope that you will realize what's stopping you
My name's Matt
An alternate reality of who I once was, and who I aspired to be
I am a brother, a bother, I am what Nate's got under covers
Call me monster, I live under your fuckin' bed!
Imagination, a fictive of their creation
I am a gamer and gentleman, the lady's man
I am the bro, a sibling you wish that you had
And now I'm back so let's fuck up what makes you mad!
Remember high school? That was some bullshit right there
Rumors spread about your family, about your sanity and
Faculty was a tragedy, got you kicked out in the end
All you had was your mind, and in your mind I reside
Self harm, hospitalization ensued
The suicidal thoughts bottled up when I was with you
I tried to help, I really did, but what can I do?
I'm just a fictive in your head that you know you can talk to
Life's a game, and all the players in it stay the same
Watch your cards, you never know, when shit will change but
All your life, and all the life that I wish that I had
It ain't over, it's not game over for you yet!
My name's Matt
An alternate reality of who I once was, and who I aspired to be
I am a brother, a bother, I am what Nate's got under covers
Call me monster, I live under your fuckin' bed!
Imagination, a fictive of their creation
I am a gamer and gentleman, the lady's man
I am the bro, a sibling you wish that you had
And now I'm back so let's fuck up what makes you mad!

Hope For The Misfits
04:12
|
|||
One thousand times I cried, one thousand times I tried to die
In the dreams that I've killed, I had a thousand tries
Is there hope for the misfit yet?
Is there hope in the music that the misfit sings again
Is there hope for the misfit yet?
Is there hope in the words that the misfit writes again
Is there hope for the misfit yet?
Is there hope for the misfit, hope for the misfit!
Can't speak out loud, can't scream or shout!
I was mute until now, 'til the music came around
I sang a song I couldn't dare to speak!
I sang along, to the rhythm of a beat!
And you, another soul, you sang along
I heard your voice, and couldn't help but shed a tear
There was hope for a misfit, who sang a song!
And that hope is there, you cannot prove me wrong!
I sang about the things I couldn't speak
Sang about the isolation of these dreams, I never could reach
In delirium - my life was always bleak
These things I never could obtain, a life I never seeked
Is it weakness to say this, is it weak to vocalize
All the suffering I've gone through, speaking up to open eyes
And in time we've connected, and in time I've realized
This was so much bigger than me, I still cannot die!
Can't speak out loud, can't scream or shout!
I was mute until now, 'til the music came around
I sang a song I couldn't dare to speak!
I sang along, to the rhythm of a beat!
And you, another soul, you sang along
I heard your voice, and couldn't help but shed a tear
There was hope for a misfit, who sang a song!
And that hope is there, you cannot prove me wrong!
Is there hope for the misfit yet?
Is there hope in the music that the misfit sings again
Is there hope for the misfits yet?
Is there hope in the music that the misfits sing again
Is there hope for the misfits yet?
Is there hope in the words that the misfits write again
In a lyric of a song I found a way to live
In the sound of the music, I found I wanted to try
There's a reason to live, there's a reason to hope
There's these sounds in the backdrop, the songs we sing to cope
If there is a tomorrow, I want to use it to create
Something I never had, a song to keep some faith
Is there hope for the misfits yet!
Can't speak out loud, can't scream or shout!
I was mute until now, 'til the music came around
I sang a song I couldn't dare to speak!
I sang along, to the rhythm of a beat!
And you, another soul, you sang along
I heard your voice, and couldn't help but shed a tear
There was hope for a misfit, who sang a song!
And that hope is there, you cannot prove me wrong!

通りゃんせ、通りゃんせ
ここはどこの細道じゃ
天神様の細道じゃ
ちっと通してくだしゃんせ
御用のないもの通しゃせぬ
この子の七つのお祝いに
お札を収めに参ります
お帰り
I'm still homesick for a place that
I've never known, I've never known
ただいま
帰れない、あのころには
I'm never home, I'm never home!
お帰りなさい、お帰りなさい
I can never go home
To a place I've never known
神のまにまに
I was born into this world
Where I do not belong, I do not belong
曇りそのまま
Rain keeps pouring down on me
On these streets of Tokyo, I cannot even see
Concrete visions of a home, concrete monochromes
Without a friend or family, there was no home for me
そんなお帰りの無い日々
僕の孤独は死ねないままに
お帰り
I'm still homesick for a place that
I've never known, I've never known
ただいま
帰れない、あのころには
I'm never home, I'm never home!
お帰りなさい、お帰りなさい
I can never go home
To a place I've never known
行きはよいよい
帰りは恐い
怖いながらも
通りゃんせ
通りゃんせ
帰りたい
でも帰るの
怖い
I am not home here, I do not belong
僕は未だに帰れないまま
Please let me go home, please let me go home
宛先もなく
歩く僕は
何のために生きて
死ぬのか
分からないと
叫んでそのまま
生き続けるのか
そうか
お帰り
I'm still homesick for a place that
I've never known, I've never known
ただいま
帰れない、あのころには
I'm never home, I'm never home!
お帰りなさい、お帰りなさい
I can never go home
To a place I've never known
通りゃんせ、通りゃんせ
ここはどこの細道じゃ
天神様の細道じゃ
ちっと通してくだしゃんせ
