Sink In Deep 03:28
Lyrics: Take me down, to the river now. Cease to find, what is happening to me. Last i felt alive, now the the weight of the world crumbling beneath my feet. Loved to be, pictures of the man I used to be. But I’ll never be, now a hollow empty shell that’s left of me. Don’t make me do it. Gut check. Just get over it! Don’t hold back! Cause I feel I’m fine. And it has been some time. Since I last remembered, now the storm has weathered. And I’m a malicious threat, to my head intact. So take these thoughts from me, and bury them alive. Here I am, I am struggling to find my way, but these thoughts and these feelings just refuse to cease. Medications, therapy. False impressions created inside of me. Validation, of the worst in me. Cause this is not my fault, and it will never be. Chorus: Break me down, you’ll never take me now. You’re just a fucking disease, can’t get the best of me. It’s all in my head, next thing I know I’ll be dead. Cause you will never be, won’t take control of me! Depression is a situation. A degeneration to this population. Here’s a warning to the ones around me, you can choose to help or you can isolate me. Yet, down the gutter I sink deeper into a hole I dug myself! Sickness, this is not my choice! Sickness, cause I need a voice!

Awaken to our, reality. Slaves to the rich, right down this rabbit hole. Caused by the ones we choose to put in power, Is this our hour? They never stop seeking their crowns of gold. Their hearts will never falter, yet time is getting, ever shorter. The hungry, the old and the homeless, Roam our streets. The paper, the pen and the witness, Move to the beat. This will always be deadweight. In this century, we may be blind to see, A self-tragedy, And now it’s Eating us alive! Amass their possessions. Lies the truth yet deception. Created kingdoms, upon a field of fools. They line their thrones, with precious stones. Blood diamonds from a dying world, No stones unturned. Death and taxes are inevitable, When will you ever learn? Over again, no one can truly understand, We’re fighting to, depend on you, to show us a way out, give us a chance now. Time and time again, it’s your chance to prove us wrong. We are so much more, you can’t ignore, We are the ones who were there to ascend you higher. Wake up! We will never progress, and will only regress It’s just a matter of time Our society, will eventually bleed If they continue on their silent crimes Over again, no one can truly understand, We’re fighting to, depend on you, to show us a way out, give us a chance now. Time and time again, it’s your chance to prove us wrong. We are so much more, you can’t ignore, We are the ones who were there to ascend you higher. Now it’s our time to rise and pick up the pieces, We created to put on a show. Now we’re persistent to let it go. Come fill our voids, with greater ambitions. Through our transgressions. It’s time to let it go! So break out, from this vicious cycle, Turn the tide, take a ride And break the, mould! Don’t let the wealthy speak volumes, We have the power and we’re in control. So just fucking do it!

Get me out.. from this prison, I’ve built myself. Get me, get me away from all these feelings inside. Break me, now break the mould and set my body free. Face it, it’s staring back into these hollow eyes. Erase it, internal struggle left etched in my mind. You get away from me, taking taking taking fucking everything. You get away from me, Oxygen oxygen thief. You get away from me, breaking breaking breaking fucking everything. Take my heart away, Heartbreaker, home wrecker! I’ve made mistakes, so cut me loose. Stop these feelings like I’m being used. I’ve made mistakes, so cut this noose. Around my neck, like a weighted slate. You get away from me, taking taking taking fucking everything. You get away from me, Oxygen oxygen thief. You get away from me, breaking breaking breaking fucking everything. Take my heart away, Heartbreaker, home wrecker! Let go of me, till I’m finally free. Now i see now I see everything, that used to be alright. But I gave in. To all of these, words, these, pain, these, hurts, these, lies, being used, abused that I refuse to ever fucking learn. Ever fucking, learn! Cause I have been feeling this for far too long, Battered heart you have been broken, so now stay strong! Now stay strong. It won’t be far too long.

We live, we live in a world of hypocrisy. We breathe to the words of this society. We feast, we feast on the words of a dying breed. Consume, repeat, consume repeat. So much for forward intuition. Only to fall into a tunnel vision. Without the light to see it through. And all of hope abandons you. Abandons you! We bleed, we bleed the same all over again. These vacant thoughts won’t blend into the red. Our hopes, and dreams were never kept alive. Only to suffer, only to die. Wither in silence. Another fool. Now, your sons and daughters. Will be the death of you. Of these words unspoken. Chip away at the table of salvation, through amalgamation. Your reality, is far from existence. Don’t be the puppet on its strings. Modern prophets die in shame. Hold no regard. We’re like their scums.

We're structures to the empires, the fire of our souls. Yet we're running on borrowed time, like parasites to host. Based on instinct, virtue, belief and regret. We'll come back stronger, it took us longer, 9 years we have bled. We will stand through the wind. You're. Not. Alone. We will stand through the rain. We will stand through the wind. You're. Not. Alone. We will stand through the rain. Take away our pain. We maybe blind, but we ain't that hopeless. Hater's gonna hate. Don't let past mistakes come back to haunt you. Never letting go Of everything, that you want to, within your soul. We will stand through the wind. You're. Not. Alone. We will stand through the rain. We will stand through the wind. You're. Not. Alone. We will stand through the rain. Take away our pain. Take away our pain. Take away our pain. We're not living in this place. We're just here to fill some time. We're not living in this place. We're here to bake and grind. Take my hand, don't let me go again. Take my hand, and let me breath again. Take me home to paradise. Take me home to a place I can call life. I can't see the light within me, don't ever let me go, don't ever let me go.
