Lying here, feeling irrelevant Iā€™m homesick, stuck in my head again Binging self-destruction Has become all the rage Show me everything I hate Digestible misery on a plate How long will it be until I break? Weā€™re all death tapes Weā€™re stuck in rewind From cradle to the grave Itā€™s all a lie Cut me loose Letā€™s call a truce Delete me as a victim Embedded deep in our nervous systems Working my fingers to the bone Iā€™m doomscrolling again The whole worlds in my palm But Iā€™ve never felt so alone Enslaved and chained Repetitive strain No matter how much you swipe The stain still remains Binging self-destruction Has become all the rage Trapped, behind the glass Tapped out By the algorithms Serving up fear You perform in caves Seeking comfort From the waves Of your own self-perpetuating misery By the algorithms Serving up fear Push notifications Pushing me over the edge Will I still vibrate When Iā€™m fucking dead? Weā€™re all death tapes Weā€™re stuck in rewind From cradle to the grave Itā€™s all a lie Push notifications Pushing me over the edge Will I still vibrate When Iā€™m fucking dead?

Pity Party 03:43
Yeah! RSVP! Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited To the war going on in your head As Iā€™ve been discarded Always the victim Main character syndrome As Iā€™m a background extra In my own fucking home How can you always be the victim? Main character syndrome Disingenuous of the audacity Lacking any form of periphery Disposed of any sentiment You slaughtered empathy Oh please validate me! Come praise me! Woe is you You havenā€™t a fucking clue Thereā€™s a world Going on around you And guess what? It doesnā€™t revolve around you It doesnā€™t revolve around you Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited To the war going on in your head As Iā€™ve been discarded Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited So fuck your fucked up goodybag Self-absorbed and full of hate Shot yourself in the foot Using me as your crutch Decrying your fall As Iā€™m kicked to the floor You painted me black and blue But claimed a bruised ego Your moral compass has gone south But youā€™re always the victim Main character syndrome Woe is you You havenā€™t a fucking clue Thereā€™s a world Going on around you And guess what? It doesnā€™t revolve around you It doesnā€™t revolve around you It doesnā€™t revolve around you Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited To the war going on in your head As Iā€™ve been discarded Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited To the war going on in your head As Iā€™ve been discarded Pity Party But Iā€™m not invited To the war going on in your head As Iā€™ve been discarded You abandoned your sense You abandoned your reality You abandoned me You abandoned your family

What is life but death pending What is life but death pending Thereā€™s nothing else, stop pretending Memento Mori Nothing but a fantasy story Ashes to ashes (dust to dust) All of this is meaningless This is a hymn for those who were made to believe That their existence is a sin As their very fibres in which they're built Crumble at the seams with Catholic guilt Iā€™ve served my purpose Now Iā€™m alone and worthless So throw me into the void Thereā€™s nothing left to destroy All of this is meaningless Memento Mori Nothing but a fantasy story Ashes to ashes (dust to dust) All of this is meaningless Iā€™m not a martyr but for starters I shouldn't feel ashamed to be alive No amount of confession Will cover up the abuse For those thinly veiled morals Are held up by a noose I can't look past the silence In my head it sounds like violence Practice what you preach Or stop peddling your made up beliefs Iā€™ve served my purpose Now Iā€™m alone and worthless So throw me into the void Thereā€™s nothing left to destroy All of this is meaningless Accept the incomprehensible Thereā€™s no meaning to this chaos It's the infectious Vacuous And idealistic Belief That we're better off In a vacuum Of ritualistic Extremes What is life but death pending Thereā€™s nothing else, stop pretending

I've been mourning the night As you torched up my life You set fire to the nest, until thereā€™s nothing left Fucking scolded by the last light I entered the ring with a mirror Hoping for more than seven years bad luck Stuck sparring with my demons Hating how my reflection fought back I was down But Iā€™m not out I was down But Iā€™m not out Break the frame Escape the cycle Embrace the change This is survival Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me Youā€™ll never erase me I refuse to lose Any more time to grief You were my procrastination But now I'm released Iā€™d lost my purpose Spending my life Feeling exhausted And in the throes of anguish I disposed and vanquished My sense of balance Break the frame Escape the cycle Embrace the change This is survival You tore me apart from atom to atom Scribbled out my face As if it were an illogical pattern Seduced by clichĆ©s Bet on the wrong horse Flogging a skeleton With no remorse I walked as fractured But I will no longer look backwards And I will be whole Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me To just exist is not enough When enough of our existence Is not just Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me Love is temporary And so are we But I always existed Youā€™ll never erase me Youā€™ll never erase me No erasure I am forever No erasure I am forever I am forever I am forever I am forever
